Therefore, face-to-face interactive socialization serves as a strategic approach to reinforce healthy understanding and behavior among adolescents in archipelagic regions. Moreover, it can be adopted as a model for developing sustainable health education programs in schools across Eastern Indonesia.

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is a strategic effort to improve public health from an early age. Elementary schools are ideal environments to instill PHBS values because children are at a developmental stage where habits are easily shaped. However, observations show that many students still have poor hygiene habits, such as not washing hands properly, consuming unsafe snacks, and neglecting school cleanliness.This PHBS education activity through the School Health Program (UKS) aims to improve students’ knowledge, attitudes, and healthy living practices. The implementation methods include interactive health education, handwashing demonstrations, environmental cleanliness simulations, and classroom cleanliness competitions. The evaluation results show a significant increase in students’ PHBS knowledge from 56% to 92%, accompanied by positive behavioral changes such as regular handwashing and proper waste disposal. This program demonstrates that an educational approach through UKS is effective in fostering clean and healthy living habits among elementary school students. It is expected that similar programs will continue sustainably with the involvement of teachers, health workers, and parents to create a healthy and supportive school environment for children’s growth and development.

Bullying behavior in elementary schools, characterized by the intentional harm of others, can manifest as teasing, harsh words, intimidation, and physical actions. It involves aggressive and repeated behavior aimed at demeaning others, which can significantly impact victims. Repeated bullying can lead to psychological issues, hindering students' ability to engage in the learning process, communicate with peers, and interact at home. Bullying in schools can result in mental health problems like anxiety and depression, academic struggles such as poor performance and truancy, and social challenges like difficulty forming relationships. Long-term effects may include trauma, low self-esteem, and even self-harm. To prevent bullying, schools should adopt a holistic approach that includes collaboration with parents and students. Strategies involve character education to promote empathy and respect, establishing clear school policies, and creating a safe, supportive environment. Raising awareness through anti-bullying campaigns and providing psychological support for victims, along with intervention for perpetrators, can further contribute to reducing bullying. Engaging the entire school community in these efforts is crucial to creating a positive, inclusive atmosphere where bullying is actively prevented.

Consumptive behavior refers to the tendency of individuals to purchase goods or services excessively, driven not by need but by the desire for personal satisfaction. University students are particularly vulnerable to such behavior, especially given the ease of access to e-commerce platforms and limitations in personal financial management. Pocket money received and students’ level of financial literacy are key factors shaping their consumption patterns. This study analyzes the effects of e-commerce, pocket money, and financial literacy on the consumptive behavior of undergraduate students in the Development Economics Study Program at Udayana University. A quantitative approach was employed, using a survey of 90 respondents selected through stratified random sampling. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results show that, jointly, e-commerce, pocket money, and financial literacy significantly affect students’ consumptive behavior. Partially, e-commerce and pocket money have positive effects, whereas financial literacy has a negative effect. This indicates that higher financial literacy reduces the tendency toward consumptive behavior.

This study investigates the influence of discount programs, digital marketing strategies, and service quality on prospective students’ decisions to enroll at STIE Surakarta. The increasingly competitive landscape of private higher education in Indonesia requires institutions to formulate effective marketing strategies that can address the expectations and behavioral tendencies of Generation Z. A quantitative approach was employed using survey data from 36 new students selected through purposive sampling based on their participation in discount-based admission programs. The research instruments were validated through correlation tests and demonstrated reliable internal consistency. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to identify both partial and simultaneous effects among the variables. The findings reveal that discount offers are the only variable that significantly affects enrollment decisions, indicating that financial incentives remain a dominant consideration for prospective students evaluating private tertiary education options. Meanwhile, digital marketing and service quality, although yielding positive regression coefficients, do not show significant partial effects. However, the three variables collectively have a significant simultaneous effect, suggesting that enrollment decisions are shaped by a combination of economic, promotional, and perceptual factors. The model explains 45.7% of the variance in enrollment decisions. These results highlight the need for higher education institutions to balance financial incentives with consistent digital marketing execution and improved service delivery. The study contributes to the expanding literature on student decision-making behavior and offers practical insights for strengthening competitive marketing strategies in private higher education.

Dermatophytosis is a superficial fungal infection of the skin, hair, and nails that is often found in tropical climates such as Indonesia, including Jambi City, which has high humidity and community habits that can support fungal growth. This study aims to describe the demographic characteristics of dermatophytosis patients who received treatment at a private dermatologist and venereologist in Jambi City throughout 2023. This study used a descriptive design using secondary data from patient medical records. A total of 399 patients who met the inclusion criteria were analyzed univariately and the results are presented in the form of a frequency distribution table. The results showed that tinea corporis was the most common type of dermatophytosis, followed by tinea cruris and tinea capitis. The majority of patients were male, aged 17–25 years, had a high school education, and worked as students. The most common locations of lesions were on the trunk and groin. These findings suggest that the productive age group is more susceptible to dermatophytosis, possibly related to high physical activity, excessive sweating, and suboptimal personal hygiene. This research is expected to be the basis for planning health education regarding the prevention of fungal infections and improving clean and healthy living behavior in the community.
