Adolescence represents a critical developmental stage marked by biological, psychological, and social dynamics. Within the educational context, adolescents often face high academic demands that may trigger stress, academic burnout, and excessive use of social media. This study aims to examine the influence of academic burnout, stress level, and social media usage intensity on academic self-efficacy among students at SMK Negeri 2 Depok Sleman. A total of 72 respondents participated, and data were analyzed using linear regression with SPSS 25 for Windows. The results revealed a constant value of 74.539, a t-value of 4.375 (p = 0.000), an F-value of 0.657, and an R² of 0.028. These findings indicate that the three variables contribute only 2.8% to academic self-efficacy, while 97.2% is influenced by other factors beyond this study. It is concluded that academic burnout, stress level, and social media usage intensity do not have a significant simultaneous effect on adolescents’ academic self-efficacy.

Aging is often accompanied by sleep problems that have a negative impact on the well-being of older adults, such as reducing their quality of daily life and triggering a higher risk of chronic diseases, depression, and cognitive decline. To address this issue, the physiotherapy team held an educational program at the Arjosari Village ILP in Malang City, which aimed to equip older adults with knowledge about the value of quality sleep. The material was delivered through simple brochures, two-way discussion sessions, and assessments through initial and final tests. A total of 15 people participated, and from the opening discussion, about 80 percent of them admitted to having frequent sleep disturbances. Before the event, a survey showed that their understanding was still minimal, especially regarding what healthy sleep is, the triggers of sleep disturbances, the benefits of good sleep, the signs of sleep disturbances, and steps to overcome them. After the counseling, there was a significant increase, with the level of understanding reaching more than 86 percent on all topics. These results prove that community-based educational approaches such as this are very effective as a means of empowerment and early prevention. Activities such as this should be made a routine to support the overall health of the elderly.

Population growth and lifestyle changes in Indonesia have led to complex waste management issues, negatively impacting social, health, and environmental sustainability aspects. To address this, a sustainable management approach that actively involves community participation is necessary. The concept of a Waste Bank, based on the 3R principles (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), emerges as a strategic, community-based solution. This community service program aims to encourage active community participation in the Waste Bank program in Tanjung Uban Selatan, Bintan Regency, while supporting the realization of a Smart City based on intelligent and participatory environments. The methodology used is a qualitative approach to gain in-depth understanding. Primary data collection was carried out through interviews, participatory observations, and documentation studies. Key informants were purposively selected from various stakeholders, including Waste Bank administrators, local government representatives, and community members. The results show that, although initially challenging to increase community participation, the program has had a significant positive impact. It successfully shifted the community's view of waste as a valuable economic resource. Quantitatively, this is reflected in stable income from the sale of high-quality inorganic waste, such as metals and electronic waste. The program also led to strategic innovations, including sustainable education, waste savings incentives, social media use, and the "Dasi Umat" empowerment program. The success of this program, strengthened by awards at the district and national levels, makes it a model for sustainable waste management focused on community empowerment and supporting smart city development.

This research endeavors to scrutinize how keen students are on learning Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at SMKS Muhammadiyah 9 Medan. The impetus for this investigation arises from the noticeable lack of enthusiasm among students when they attend PAI lessons. These lessons are frequently seen as uninteresting, lacking variety, and less stimulating when compared to the vocational subjects they are studying. These circumstances create difficulties for PAI instructors, who must establish a learning environment that not only delivers content but also cultivates real motivation and a genuine passion in the students. A qualitative descriptive method was used for this study, and information was gathered through classroom observations, conversations with instructors and students, and surveys to gain insights into students' views on their educational experiences. The information was analyzed to pinpoint the internal and external elements that affect learning interest. The results show that the students' level of interest in learning is somewhere between moderate and low. Personal drive, study routines, and students' mental preparation are examples of internal variables, whereas teaching strategies, the use of educational resources, and the backing of the school setting and family are examples of external variables. The research emphasizes the necessity for teaching strategies that are relevant, diverse, engaging, and more in line with the requirements of the students, based on these findings. It is hoped that learning PAI will not only improve cognitive comprehension but will also raise awareness of the significance of Islamic principles in daily life.

Intestinal parasitic infections caused by non-Soil Transmitted Helminths (non-STH), particularly Enterobius vermicularis, remain a public health problem in developing countries, including Indonesia. Transmission does not require soil as a medium but occurs through direct contact, autoinfection, or unclean household environments. In children, infection may cause perianal itching, sleep disturbances, loss of appetite, and secondary infections due to scratching, which can affect nutritional status, sleep quality, and overall growth and development. This study was conducted in Kupang City, an endemic area of helminthiasis, to determine the prevalence and risk factors of E. vermicularis infection among children aged 1–5 years. A cross-sectional design with total sampling was applied to 30 children living in RT 008/RW 003, Penfui Timur Village, Kupang Tengah District, from February to May 2025. Risk factor data were collected using structured questionnaires covering personal hygiene, environmental sanitation, socioeconomic status, and parental education. Infection was identified using the scotch tape technique and microscopic examination. The results showed a prevalence of 7% (2 out of 30 children), mainly among boys aged ≥4 years, with poor personal hygiene, inadequate sanitation, low economic status, and parental education at elementary school level or below. In conclusion, enterobiasis in children is influenced by a combination of behavioral, environmental, and socioeconomic factors. Prevention should not rely solely on mass deworming programs but also require continuous health education for parents, improved hygiene practices, and household sanitation.

The development of wearable technology, especially smartwatches, opens up great opportunities in preventive health monitoring, especially in rural areas such as Sembung Village, Wringinanom, Gresik, where access to health services is limited. However, this technology is still alien to the local community. Preliminary surveys show that the majority of citizens, including health cadres, have never used or even seen a smartwatch in person, and view it as a luxury and irrelevant item. In fact, the potential of smartwatches as “digital health assistants” is huge from tracking heart rate, blood oxygen levels (SpO₂), stress levels, to physical activity reminders that are essential for early detection of health disorders. This service activity aims to improve digital literacy and adoption of smartwatch technology through a participatory educational approach and direct assistance. Implementation methods include: (1) coordination with the village government and health workers, (2) Interactive socialization using local languages, (3) step-by-step practical training, (4) simulation of application in the field, and (5) pre-test and post-test evaluation of 27 participants (25 health cadres, 1 midwife, 1 nurse). The results showed significant improvements: function understanding from the original value of 1.8 increased to 4.2, consumption interest from the original value of 2.1 increased to 4.0, benefit perception from the original value of 1.9 increased to 4.3, self confidence from the original value of 1.5 increased to 3.8, and digital literacy awareness from the original value of 2.0 increased to 4.1. The hands-on approach proved effective in changing participants ' mindset from skeptical to enthusiastic, proving that the digital divide is not due to incompetence, but the lack of access to contextual education. The implication is that smartwatch has the potential to become a strategic tool for village health cadres in early detection and real-time data-based health education, provided that it is supported by sustainable mentoring.

Poverty in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) remains a significant issue despite a decline in poverty rates in recent years. This study aims to identify the factors influencing poverty in DIY from social, economic, and structural perspectives, as well as to evaluate policies that can address this issue. The method used in this research is a literature review through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), examining various relevant sources on poverty in DIY and the poverty alleviation policies implemented in the region. The results of the study indicate that poverty in DIY is caused by several main factors, such as income inequality, low-quality education, low skill levels among the population, and limited access to business capital and productive resources. One policy that has proven effective in reducing poverty is the provision of access to capital and productive resources through microcredit schemes and agrarian reform. These programs not only provide capital but also enhance the ability of the poor to manage their businesses. These findings offer important insights into understanding poverty in DIY and suggest that policies supporting the empowerment of the poor through education, skills, and economic access can be an effective solution to reduce poverty in the long term..
