Tarakan City as an archipelago with high maritime activity has a significant risk of water accidents, yet students' swimming skills are still low. This study aims to: (1) evaluate the context of swimming learning in the PJOK curriculum, (2) assess input readiness (teachers, facilities, costs), (3) analyze the learning implementation process, and (4) measure learning outcomes related to student skills and safety. The research used a descriptive qualitative approach with the Context, Input, Process, Product (CIPP) evaluation model. Data sources include principals (4 people), physical education teachers (4 people), and students (16 people) from four junior high schools in Tarakan City. The research instruments were semi-structured interview guidelines, observation sheets, and curriculum document analysis. Data collection techniques were conducted through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. The data were analyzed qualitatively using cost and benefit analysis techniques to identify the suitability of the program to the needs. The results show that the context of swimming learning is in accordance with the curriculum, but the swimming pool facilities depend on public facilities with limited access. The learning process is in accordance with the lesson plan, but the practice time (2 times/semester) is not sufficient to master the skills. Product evaluation results indicated a good understanding of water safety theory, but low practical swimming skills. Recommendations: (1) Increased frequency of swimming practice, (2) collaboration with local government for the provision of school swimming pools, and (3) teacher training in adaptive teaching methods for beginner students.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an increasing global health challenge, especially due to the irrational use of antibiotics. Increasing public awareness of the dangers of AMR is an important step in prevention and control efforts. A counseling program on AMR awareness has been implemented as part of the Community Service Program by Bali International University students in Punggul Village, Badung Regency, Bali Province. Method: This community service activity was carried out on September 5, 2023 and was attended by more than 50 participants, the majority of whom were housewives. The methods used included the presentation of educational materials, interactive sessions, and local culture-based campaigns to increase public understanding regarding the proper and wise use of antibiotics. Results: Evaluation through posttest showed that there was fair knowledge (73.0%) and positif attitude of participants (100%) regarding the importance of rational use of antibiotics. In addition, this activity had a positive impact on students as implementers, especially in improving communication skills, leadership, and community empowerment. Conclusion: This program showed that a community-based educational approach that is sensitive to the local context has significant potential in raising awareness of AMR. Active involvement of young people as agents of change can be a sustainable strategy to support AMR control efforts at the local and global levels.

Attendance management is an essential component in educational institutions, companies, and organizations to monitor the presence and punctuality of participants. Traditional attendance systems, such as manual signatures or identification cards, are prone to various issues including human error, time inefficiency, and identity fraud. To address these challenges, this study aims to develop a smart attendance system using facial recognition technology based on Python and the OpenCV library. The system is designed to automatically detect and recognize faces in real time using a webcam or camera module. It employs computer vision techniques to capture facial images, extract unique features, and match them against a stored database of registered participants. Once the face is verified, the system records the attendance along with a timestamp, ensuring data accuracy and security. The development process involved several stages, including image acquisition, preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification. OpenCV was utilized for image processing tasks, while Python provided the programming framework to integrate all components. To enhance recognition accuracy, the system applied techniques such as histogram equalization for lighting normalization and Haar Cascade classifiers for initial face detection. An experimental evaluation was conducted under various conditions, including different lighting environments and facial orientations. The results demonstrated that the system achieved an accuracy rate of 96% under normal lighting conditions, with only a small decrease in performance under dim or uneven lighting. These findings indicate that the system is reliable for practical applications, especially in controlled environments. Conclusion: The Python-based facial recognition attendance system offers a more efficient, secure, and accurate alternative to conventional attendance methods. Future improvements may include the integration of deep learning models to enhance recognition robustness in diverse real-world scenarios.

The development of information technology in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era requires the younger generation to possess digital literacy skills, one of which is computer programming. Programming is not only a technical skill but also helps in developing logical, systematic, and creative thinking. This study aims to describe the implementation and results of Java-based basic programming literacy training for 30 SMA 3 students. The students were selected based on their interests and recommendations from teachers. The training was held in a computer laboratory, utilizing a learning-by-doing approach with methods that included material delivery, demonstrations, and hands-on practice. Evaluation was conducted through both theory tests and simple programming tasks. The results indicated an average 30% increase in understanding of structured programming concepts compared to before the training. Additionally, 85% of the students were able to successfully complete tasks involving the creation of simple programs using variables, operators, branching, and loops. Beyond the technical skills, the training also had a positive impact on non-technical skills such as self-confidence, teamwork, and critical thinking. In conclusion, this training program successfully met its goal of enhancing students’ basic programming literacy and can serve as a practical learning model that aligns with the needs of the digital era, encouraging active participation in the digital world.

Diastasis Recti Abdominis (DRA) is a common postpartum condition in women, characterized by separation of the rectus abdominis muscles due to a weekend linea alba. This case study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of e combined core activation.and curl-up exercise program in reducing intra-recti distance in a postpartum patient.The subject was a spontaneous postpartum woman at 39 weeks of gestation. Initial assessment revealed intra-recti distance of 28 mm above and 17 mm below the umbilicus, exceeding normal limits. The intervention consisted of a 4-day program including curl-up and five core activation excercises : diaphragmatic breathing, abdominal drawing-in manuver, supine pelvic tilt, heel slide and knee fall out. Measurements showed no significant reducyion in intra-recti distance; however, the patient reported improved abdominal tightness and core stability. The study concludes that although measurable changes were not significant within a short evaluation period, the intervention had positive subjective effects. Longer-term assessment is recommended for more conclusive results.
