Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) is a simple, inexpensive, and effective method for cervical cancer screening. However, the interest of women of reproductive age (WRA) in undergoing VIA tests remains low. It is believed that knowledge and attitude significantly influence their interest in undergoing VIA screening. This study aims to analyze the relationship between knowledge and attitude of women of reproductive age and their interest in undergoing VIA tests in the working area of Mensiku Public Health Center, Binjai Hulu District, Sintang Regency, West Kalimantan Province, in 2024. The study employed a cross-sectional design with a quantitative approach, with a sample of WRA selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using chi-square statistical tests. The results showed a significant relationship between knowledge level, attitude, and the interest in undergoing VIA tests. Women with good knowledge and positive attitudes had a higher interest in undergoing VIA screening compared to those with poor knowledge and negative attitudes. Therefore, improving knowledge and fostering positive attitudes toward VIA tests are essential to increase the interest of WRA in undergoing this screening, which could serve as an initial step in preventing cervical cancer.

Electrical energy is a vital need to support daily life in various sectors such as industry, housing and government. In Indonesia, the majority of electrical energy is still produced from fossil fuel plants, which have significant environmental impacts and limited resources. Therefore, the development of renewable energy is crucial to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. One promising alternative is the Micro Hydro Power Plant (PLTMH), which uses flowing water to produce electrical energy. This research focuses on the implementation of MHP in Babakan Banten Village, Bogor Regency, an area with the potential for abundant water flow throughout the year. This project aims to provide a reliable electricity supply for communities, most of whom do not yet have access to electricity from the national grid. This study includes the process of planning, assembling and testing the MHP system using field data such as river water discharge, land elevation (head) and other technical specifications. The measurement results show that the PLTMH with a generator capacity of 2 kW is able to meet the electricity needs of 18 houses in Babakan Village, Banten. System testing shows good operational stability with optimal turbine rotation at full load and results in accordance with planning. It is hoped that the implementation of this PLTMH will not only increase accessibility to sustainable electrical energy, but will also have a positive impact on the welfare of local communities. Utilization of locally available natural resources not only reduces dependence on conventional energy, but also becomes a real example of the application of technology for sustainable development in remote areas of Indonesia.

Bandung Regency, which is experiencing overcapacity in landfills, has implemented a waste management solution involving the separation of organic and inorganic waste. Inorganic waste, which is notoriously difficult to decompose, has prompted the Bandung Regency government to adopt a community-focused approach to waste management, establishing waste banks in school-age communities. However, the project has encountered challenges, as evidenced by the fact that some schools have implemented waste banks but have not been actively engaged in their operations. This has led to the project's suboptimal implementation in Bandung Regency schools.The objective of this study is to identify the challenges associated with the inactivity of waste banks in Bandung Regency schools, as perceived by students and administrators.The study utilises the triple drivers of ecopreneurship, focusing on the economic, social, and environmental benefits of school waste banks. This research employs a mixed methods approach, utilising both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. The quantitative approach involves the administration of surveys to students, followed by data processing using descriptive statistics. The qualitative method involves conducting interviews with administrators, and the data is processed using the Miles and Huberman model. The findings of the research indicate that the implementation of a waste bank for the management of inorganic waste in a school environment is positively received by the school, despite the presence of obstacles related to waste collection sites, socialisation among students, and differences between administrators and students regarding the most significant focus or choice for implementing waste banks in schools.It is anticipated that the research results will contribute to the understanding of inorganic waste management in waste banks that are less active in the school environment. The study thus recommends further research in schools that are routine or active in waste bank implementation activities, with a view to describing overall information about the implementation of school waste banks, especially in schools in Bandung Regency with school waste bank projects.

The present study was aimed at gaining knowledge about the type of pathogen responsible for Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (VVC) infections and evaluating the antimicrobial activity of plant extracts against Candida spp. antibiotic resistance. 112 samples were taken from infected women with VVC of different ages from September to December 2024. All specimens were collected from Al Hussein Teaching Hospital/ Al- Thiqar- governorate. The results showed that 67 (59.82%) of all cases had positive results for Candida spp., while 45 (40.18%) had negative results. Candida spp. Isolated from VVC were C. albicans, the most prevalent 33 (49.26%), C. glabrata, 12 (17.91%), C. krusi and C. kefyr, 9 (13.43%), and C. guilliermondii, 4 (6.90%). The antifungal sensitivity of the pathogenic Candida spp. was tested against five types of antifungals, and the results showed the highest resistance to ketoconazole was 66 (98.51%) of Candida spp. Because of the presence of these physiologically active chemicals, Zizyphus spina-christi L. exhibits antimicrobial capabilities. In this study, the main aim is to study the antifungal activity of Ziziphus spina-christi leaf extract on some resistant candida and conduct analysis to confirm that the Ziziphus spina-christi leaves have phytochemical contents. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to find the bioactive components present in extracts of Z. spina-christi leaves. Finally, we decided the inhibitory activity of Ziziphus spina-christi leaves extract. The extract of Ziziphus spina-christi had alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, phenols, tannic acid, and terpenoids, according to a preliminary phytochemical screen. In addition, GC-MS analysis of the extract confirmed the presence of many beneficial chemicals. The extract showed promising antimicrobial activity for Candida spp. (C. albicans, C. glabrata,C. krusi , C. kefyr, and C. guilliermondii)  . These results show that the Ziziphus spina-christi leaves extract is a valuable resource for bioactive chemicals with potential uses in a variety of biological contexts.

The church has the main mandate to carry out the Great Commission as written in Matthew 28:18-20.

When Christianity entered the Pematangsiantar area, various churches with different sect backgrounds grew and developed, such as the Catholic Church, Huria Kristen Batak Protestan (HKBP), Simalungun Protestant Christian Church (GKPS), Indonesian Christian Church (GKI), Indonesian Bethel Church (GBI), Indonesian Pentecostal Church (GPI), and others (Aritonang, 2008)

Climate change is a global challenge that is becoming more urgent for countries around the world to anticipate its negative impacts. Especially for archipelagic countries, including Indonesia, the impact of climate change such as rising sea levels cannot be underestimated because it leads to sovereignty issues. In the context of sovereignty, this research tries to analyze the impact of climate change on Indonesia's national sovereignty in relation to international law by focusing on three main topics, namely the perspective of international law on a country's maritime territory, the impact of climate change on Indonesia's sovereignty, and actions that can be taken to avoid the negative effects of climate change. The conclusion of this research shows that Indonesia is facing complex legal challenges in dealing with the impacts of climate change where international law has not provided arrangements related to the sovereignty of archipelagic states if climate change causes the islands that are part of the country to sink. However, advocating for the application of the principle of baseline permanence can help Indonesia protect its maritime interests in the midst of global climate change.

This study examines the stance of Abd al-Rahman al-Dakhil towards the Christian kingdoms in Al-Andalus during his rule. Following the collapse of the Umayyad Caliphate in the Levant, Abd al-Rahman I successfully established an independent emirate in Al-Andalus, navigating both internal and external challenges. A significant aspect of his governance was his strategic response to the Christian kingdoms in northern Spain, which continuously sought to reclaim lost territories and challenge Muslim rule. The study explores his military campaigns, diplomatic efforts, and policies aimed at securing the stability of the Umayyad state. Despite initial successes in repelling Christian advances and imposing tributary agreements, internal strife within Al-Andalus weakened its ability to maintain long-term control over contested regions. The research underscores the pivotal role of political unity in sustaining territorial dominance and highlights how Abd al-Rahman al-Dakhil’s leadership shaped the early Islamic state in Iberia.

One cardiovascular condition known as venous thromboembolism (VTE) is believed to be brought on by hormonal medications like oral contraceptives. Women taking oral contraceptives are more likely to develop VTE over the age of 40 due to a genetic predisposition that can trigger the risk from the cytochrome gene. One of the genes associated with VTE and contraception is the CYP2C19, CYP3A4, CYP1A2, and CYP345 genes. Methods: A quality assessment of the method and risk was conducted using The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Instrument after a number of articles collected from Scopus, Crossref, Ebsco, Pubmed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar were selected by the inclusion criteria. Results:Articles or journals on the JBI instrument showed good quality in the number of 10 research particles. From the results of the journal analysis, several cytochrome genes were obtained, namely the CYP2C19, CYP3A4, CYP1A2, and CYP345 genes. Conclusion: Several types of cytochrome genes that affect oral use as well as VTE. The cytochrome CYP2C19 gene may decrease the effects of clopidogrel. The use of CYP3A4 gene-inducing drugs should be considered at the same time as contraception and it is advisable to use other drug alternatives. Concomitant use of CYP1A2 gene-inducing drugs with contraception should be avoided because they may decrease the contraceptive effect. The use of cyclosporine drugs needs to be monitored because cyclosporine can increase estrogen levels in the liver.

The Aeromonas hydrophila (A. hydrophila) Aeromonas hydrophila (A. hydrophila) is an opportunistic pathogen causing significant losses in aquaculture. The overuse of antibiotics has led to antimicrobial resistance, necessitating alternative control strategies. This study evaluates the potential of coconut oil to inhibit A. hydrophila colonization in gills, brain, and gut microbiota of zebrafish while enhancing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) populations. A completely randomized design was used with five groups: a negative control (healthy), a positive control (A. hydrophila-infected), and three treatment groups (1000 mg/kg, 2000 mg/kg, 4000 mg/kg coconut oil) for 60 days. Bacterial load in gills and brain was quantified using the pour plate method on Rimler-Shotts agar, while LAB in the gut was assessed using de Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe Agar (MRSA). 1000 mg/kg coconut oil significantly reduced A. hydrophila in the gills (0.3 ± 0.09 × 10⁷ CFU/ml) compared to the positive control (138.13 ± 11.26 × 10⁷ CFU/ml). 4000 mg/kg was most effective in reducing A. hydrophila in the brain (1.78 ± 0.51 × 10⁷ CFU/ml vs. 4.53 ± 0.40 × 10⁷ CFU/ml in the positive control). LAB populations significantly increased (p < 0.0001), with the highest count at 1000 mg/kg (9.20 ± 0.87 × 10⁷ CFU/ml), followed by 2000 mg/kg (3.16 ± 0.13 × 10⁷ CFU/ml), and 4000 mg/kg (1.78 ± 0.35 × 10⁷ CFU/ml). Coconut oil effectively enhances LAB populations, inhibits A. hydrophila colonization, and acts as a natural antimicrobial and probiotic agent. The 1000 mg/kg dose is optimal for gut microbiota improvement, while 4000 mg/kg protects brain tissues, highlighting coconut oil’s potential as an eco-friendly alternative to antibiotics in aquaculture.

This study explores the intersection of sacred water rituals and ecological awareness, examining how religious practices related to water shape environmental virtues and promote water conservation efforts. Various religious traditions, including Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, and indigenous practices, treat water as a sacred resource, emphasizing its purity, sanctity, and the responsibility of humans to protect it. These rituals, such as Islamic ablution (wudhu), Christian baptism, and Hindu purification rites, not only serve spiritual purposes but also embody environmental ethics that encourage restraint, humility, and stewardship in the use of water. The study employs a comparative qualitative approach, integrating textual exegesis, ethnographic observations, and interviews with religious practitioners to analyze how different faith traditions frame water as sacred and how these frameworks translate into practical behaviors regarding water conservation. The findings reveal that religious water rituals contribute to an ecological self, fostering a deep respect for nature and a commitment to sustainable water use. However, challenges exist in reconciling traditional practices with modern water scarcity issues, especially in regions where water conservation is a critical concern. Despite these challenges, religious communities have the potential to leverage their ritual heritage to foster global awareness and action toward water conservation. Future research should explore interfaith collaborations in water conservation and investigate the impact of ritual practices on real-world water conservation behaviors. This study highlights the potential of sacred water rituals as powerful tools for promoting environmental stewardship and addressing global water challenges.
