School-age children are a group vulnerable to nutritional problems. Their nutritional status is crucial as it affects cognitive abilities and health. Therefore, measuring nutritional status becomes a necessary preventive step. This activity was carried out on September 18, 2024, with the aim of measuring and assessing the nutritional status of elementary school children using anthropometric methods to measure weight and height, and evaluating nutritional status based on BMI-for-age. The event was successful, with active participation from the students of SDN Centre Number 1 Pattallassang, Kab. Takalar, and received appreciation from the school. The results showed that 2 children were obese, 1 child was undernourished, and 32 children had a good nutritional status. Regular assessments and intervention from relevant agencies are highly needed.

Health is an optimal body condition in terms of physical, mental and well-being aspects of life, where individuals are able to live a productive life both individually, socially and economically (Oktavilantika et al., 2023). Mental health according to WHO does not only indicate the absence of mental disorders in the form of changes in thoughts, feelings and behavior that cause inability to carry out activities, but also the presence of positive character that shows the normality of a person's soul so that he is able to carry out his daily life productively. Schizophrenia itself is a serious mental disorder that causes decline or even inability to communicate, cognitive impairment, and difficulty in carrying out daily activities.  (Risal et al., 2022 & Afeanpah et al., 2022 ).

This study aims to analyze the learning strategies of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) applied by teachers in improving student creativity and competence at SMP Negeri 1 Langkat, North Sumatra. The research method used was qualitative, with data collection methods through observation, interviews, and documentation. Observation was conducted to identify the interaction and application of learning strategies by PAI teachers, while in-depth interviews with teachers and students provided information related to the effectiveness of the method. The results showed that 1) Teachers' creativity in combining learning methods, such as discussions, projects, and the use of technological media, was able to create an interesting and interactive learning atmosphere, which had a positive impact on students' understanding of the teaching materials. 2) Improved facilities and infrastructure as well as curriculum adjustments also support the effectiveness of learning, so that students are more motivated to actively participate in the learning process. PAI teachers not only convey religious concepts, but also equip students with balanced cognitive, affective, and psychomotor abilities, in accordance with Bloom's taxonomy theory. This study concludes that innovation in learning methods and adequate facility support are key in improving students' learning skills and interest.

This study explores how the theory of Multiple Intelligence proposed by Howard Gardner can be effectively integrated into the teaching and learning process and the challenges faced in its implementation in various educational contexts. This study analyzes existing literature through a literature review approach to find common patterns, research gaps, and best practices in applying Multiple intelligence theory in the classroom. The literature analyzed includes journal articles, academic books, and research reports focusing on teachers' understanding of multiple intelligences, learning methods based on dual Intelligence, student responses to applying these methods, and varied and inclusive assessment systems. The study results show that although the theory of multiple intelligences has been widely recognized in education, its application still faces various challenges. Teachers' understanding of this theory is often limited, and many have been unable to adapt teaching methods to accommodate students' diverse intelligences optimally. In addition, more infrastructure and resources in schools are also needed to support kinesthetic, musical, and visual-spatial Intelligence. Nonetheless, previous research has shown that students respond positively when the learning methods used match their dominant Intelligence, which can improve their motivation, engagement, and learning outcomes. This literature review concludes that a more varied and inclusive learning approach must accommodate all student intelligences. In addition, Assessment and evaluation in education must be more flexible, considering non-cognitive intelligences that have been ignored in standardized tests. This study recommends increasing teacher training, providing supporting infrastructure, and developing a curriculum more adaptive to the diversity of students' Intelligence. The results of this study make an essential contribution to enriching the understanding of applying the theory of multiple intelligences and offering solutions to the challenges faced in modern education.    

The problem background of this article discusses progress in human life and other organisms, from the beginning of life to changes in the life cycle. The term cognition Refers to mental processes in the human mind, important for understanding the world and interactions with the environment. Jean Piaget highlighted how children build understanding through stages of cognitive development. The Independent Curriculum and Christian religious education provide a relevant context for discussing education and holistic individual development. The method used in this article is library research, namely collecting data from various literature related to research. The stages of literature study include preparing equipment, making a bibliography, managing time, and reading and recording research materials. Data was collected through searching for sources from various media such as books, journals and previous research, with critical and in-depth explanations to support arguments and ideas. The result of this article is that cognitive development is influenced by different stages. Children think differently at each stage, for example from sensorimotor to formal operational. The Freedom to Learn curriculum can integrate Piaget's theory in Christian religious education with a focus on direct experience, critical questions, constructive activities, and stages of cognitive development. This helps students understand and process information better.

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that occurs worldwide caused by suboptimal nutritional intake from pregnancy to 24 months or 2 years of age. Stunting in childhood is associated with delays in motor development and lower intelligence levels. Symptoms shown by stunting sufferers include a child's height that is shorter than children of the same age, the child looks smaller for his age, low body weight, and delayed bone growth (Laska et al., 2024). Stunting has short-term and long-term impacts. In the short term, stunting causes depression of immune function, metabolic changes, decreased motor development, low cognitive values, and low academic values (Widjayatri et al., 2020). Meanwhile, the long-term impacts of children with stunting include, when they grow up, they will be at risk of obesity, coronary heart disease, hypertension, osteoporosis, decreased work performance, and productivity (Dekasari & Gunawan, 2024)

This meta-analysis investigates the impact of negative emotions on the effectiveness of endometriosis treatment. Of the 1,245 articles identified, 32 studies (n=4,876 patients) met the inclusion criteria. The results revealed a significant negative correlation between negative emotions and treatment effectiveness (r = -0.38, 95% CI [-0.45, -0.31], p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis further demonstrated a stronger effect on medical treatments (r = -0.43) compared to surgical treatments (r = -0.29, p = 0.02). Additionally, negative emotions were most strongly correlated with pain intensity (r = -0.45), followed by quality of life (r = -0.39), medication adherence (r = -0.33), and patient satisfaction with treatment (r = -0.28, p = 0.02). The meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) (n=8) indicated that psychological interventions could significantly enhance endometriosis treatment outcomes (SMD = 0.58, 95% CI [0.39, 0.77], p < 0.001), with cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) being the most effective intervention (SMD = 0.67). Furthermore, the study found that the average age of patients moderates the relationship between negative emotions and endometriosis treatment (β = -0.015, p = 0.03), specifically indicating that the strongest effects of negative emotions are observed in younger patients. Finally, mediation analysis identified that pain perception, medication adherence, and maladaptive coping mechanisms are key mechanisms in the relationship between negative emotions and treatment effectiveness. These findings extend previous research by As-Sanie et al. (2014) and Lagana et al. (2017) by quantifying the impact of negative emotions and validating the effectiveness of psychological interventions as a novel contribution. The researchers advocate for a biopsychosocial approach in endometriosis management to facilitate routine screening for psychological issues and recommend the integration of holistic interventions combining medical and psychological support into standard endometriosis care.

The presence of both parents plays a crucial role in the development of early childhood, especially in creating an environment that supports their optimal growth and development. Ideally, fathers and mothers work together in parenting with a balanced division of roles. However, in Indonesia, father involvement is often less than optimal because of the view that the father's main task is to earn a living. This study aims to improve the understanding and knowledge of the community, especially in Tanjunganom Village, about the importance of father involvement in child care. Through seminars and mentoring held by the KKN POSKO 5 UIN Walisongo Semarang team, fathers were given insight into the division of roles, monitoring strategies, and evaluation in child care. The results of this activity showed an increase in knowledge among fathers regarding their role in parenting, as well as their ability to balance time between work and child care. Children who are cared for by actively involved fathers show progress in social, emotional, cognitive, and affective development. In conclusion, father involvement in early childhood care is very important to support children's overall development. Fathers who are active in parenting have a stronger relationship with their children, which ultimately makes children more sensitive to their emotions and environment. Therefore, it is highly recommended for fathers to understand that child care is a shared responsibility between father and mother.
