The increasing integration of digital technology into the daily lives of Generation Alpha has contributed to reduced physical activity, highlighting the need to understand the factors shaping children’s movement behaviors. This study employed a quantitative correlational approach to examine the relationship between parental educational background and the physical activity levels of students aged 13–15 at SMP 1 Waru Sidoarjo. Data were collected through a parental education questionnaire and the PAQ-C instrument, which assesses children’s physical activity over the past seven days. A total of 45 respondents participated, and the data were analyzed using Pearson or Spearman correlation tests, depending on distribution. The findings revealed a positive and statistically significant—though weak—association between parental education and children’s physical activity levels. Parents with higher education tend to promote more active lifestyles by regulating screen time, providing access to sports facilities, and modeling healthy behaviors. These results underscore the essential role of families in developing healthy routines among Generation Alpha and the need for educational initiatives to enhance parental awareness of physical activity in an increasingly digital environment.

The increasing snack consumption trend in Indonesia, along with the availability of processed snacks that are high in sugar, fat, and sodium but low in fiber, poses a significant challenge to digestive health. More than 40% of the global population experiences digestive disorders, often related to unhealthy eating patterns and low fiber intake. In response to this issue, an innovative healthy snack called TaroStik, made from taro vines (Colocasia esculenta) rich in fiber and nutrients, has been developed. This product comes in two forms, sticks and chips, with three flavor variants (salty, sweet, and spicy), offering a healthy snacking experience without sacrificing taste. Training on utilizing taro vines to create TaroStik was conducted in Banjarbaru, involving prospective entrepreneurs with a combined approach of theory, hands-on practice, and group discussions. Participants were trained from material selection, processing (peeling, soaking, steaming, frying), packaging, to social media marketing simulation. As a result, most participants were able to independently produce TaroStik, with some expressing intentions to continue production at a home scale. TaroStik not only provides a digestive health solution through natural snacks free of preservatives but also brings positive impacts in three areas: economy (creating business opportunities based on local ingredients), environment (reducing agricultural waste), and nutrition (increasing healthy food consumption). This innovation embodies the principles of green economy and sustainable entrepreneurship, opening new business opportunities and improving community welfare.

Pneumonia is one of the leading causes of mortality in children under five, especially those living in households with active smokers. This study aims to determine the risk of pneumonia in toddlers from smoking families in the working area of Meuraxa Public Health Center, Banda Aceh City. The research used a case-control design with 33 respondents, consisting of 11 cases (toddlers with pneumonia) and 22 controls (toddlers without pneumonia). Data collection was conducted through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the chi-square test. The findings revealed that the prevalence of pneumonia among toddlers from smoking households was 33.3%. There were significant associations between pneumonia incidence and several factors, including nutritional status (p = 0.024), immunization status (p = 0.034), exclusive breastfeeding (p = 0.027), parental smoking behavior inside the house (p = 0.009), and household ventilation (p = 0.017). Toddlers who were not exclusively breastfed, had poor nutritional status, incomplete immunization, poor air ventilation, and exposure to cigarette smoke at home were at higher risk of developing pneumonia. This study emphasizes the vital role of the family in creating a healthy, smoke-free home environment that supports children's well-being. Community-based interventions and educational programs are essential to prevent pneumonia and improve the quality of life of children, particularly in urban public health areas like Meuraxa.

Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum, is a major constraint in chili (Capsicum annuum L.) cultivation due to its severe impact on plant health and yield. Excessive use of synthetic fungicides to control this disease has resulted in environmental pollution and the development of resistant pathogens. This study aimed to identify endophytic fungi from black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) and evaluate their antagonistic potential against F. oxysporum as an eco-friendly biological control strategy. The novelty of this research lies in the exploration of endophytic fungi from black pepper, a crop not commonly studied as a microbial reservoir for chili disease control, providing new insight into cross-host endophytic interactions and their potential application in sustainable plant protection. Endophytic fungi were isolated from the stems, roots, and leaves of healthy black pepper plants, while F. oxysporum isolates were obtained from diseased chili plants. All isolates were cultured on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) and tested using a dual culture assay under a completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatments and six replications. Inhibition percentage and colony growth were observed for seven days, and antagonistic mechanisms such as competition, antibiosis, and parasitism were examined microscopically. Four endophytic fungi—Trichoderma sp., Gliocladium sp., Aspergillus niger, and Aspergillus flavus—showed antagonistic activity against F. oxysporum. The highest inhibition rates (60–75%) were observed in Gliocladium sp. and Trichoderma sp., primarily through competition and antibiosis mechanisms. These results demonstrate the potential of black pepper-derived endophytic fungi as novel, effective, and environmentally safe biocontrol agents, offering an innovative approach to developing sustainable alternatives to synthetic fungicides in integrated plant disease management systems.

Sanitation facilities are a fundamental element that contributes to creating a healthy, comfortable, and productive learning environment in higher education institutions. This study aims to describe the availability of sanitation facilities in the Office Administration Management Study Program, analyze the factors that influence their condition, and explore the perspectives of the academic community regarding their quality and usefulness. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation.
