Home industries are small- to medium-scale production units operated within or near households, typically relying on family members or a limited local workforce, with modest capital and without large-scale industrial technology. In furniture production, the main outputs are household items such as chairs, tables, wardrobes, beds, and shelves, while by-products include sawdust and unused wood pieces. Airborne pollutants— particularly wood dust (PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅) from sanding and cutting, along with fumes from paints, solvents, and adhesives—pose significant short- and long-term health risks to workers. This community service project, in collaboration with higher education institutions, aimed to establish long-term control measures. Initial steps involved measuring PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ concentrations and assessing workers’ blood oxygen levels. Using a descriptive approach, workplace conditions were compared before and after work. Findings revealed a correlation between dust levels and blood oxygen saturation, supporting recommendations for long-term occupational health interventions.

This study aims to comprehensively analyze the factors that influence school leadership and management at SMP Negeri Satu Atap 01 Ciseeng. The background of this study is based on the low effectiveness of school management as indicated by the results of quality evaluations and the limited resources that are characteristic of schools in remote areas. The limitations include aspects of teaching staff, facilities and infrastructure, and low stakeholder involvement in decision-making. The study was conducted from May to June 2025 with a qualitative approach through a case study method. The research subjects included the principal, teachers, school committee, parents of students, and school supervisors. Data collection techniques used in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies. Data analysis was carried out using the interactive model from Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions/verification. The results of the study indicate that the effectiveness of school leadership and management is strongly influenced by five main factors, namely: (1) the principal's leadership competence, (2) management of human and material resources, (3) the level of teacher participation in decision-making, (4) a collaborative organizational culture, and (5) strong external support from the school committee and parents. It was found that school principals play a dominant role in developing organizational culture and management strategies, but have not yet optimally engaged teachers and parents. Therefore, it is important to encourage more participatory leadership patterns and openness to cross-role collaboration. This study suggests the need for locally context-based leadership training and the development of policies that support remote school management. By strengthening synergy between stakeholders, it is hoped that school management in remote areas can be more effective and adaptive to the challenges they face.  

The Triple Elimination Program is an important initiative to prevent the transmission of HIV, Hepatitis B, and Syphilis from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. The goal of this program is to improve the well-being of mothers and babies, while reducing the transmission rate of these diseases that can endanger the health of both. This community service activity was carried out in Sungai Maram Village, Sintang, on July 16, 2025. The main target of this activity was 40 pregnant women, who were the objects of the infectious disease education and prevention program. To ensure the effectiveness of this activity, participant knowledge was measured using a pretest and posttest method. The pretest was conducted before the material was delivered to determine the participants' initial level of knowledge, while the posttest was conducted after the material was delivered to measure the extent of the participants' understanding of the information that had been presented. The material presented in this activity covered the three main diseases that are the focus of Triple Elimination, namely HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B. In addition, participants were also provided with information on ways to prevent transmission of these diseases during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. In addition, participants were taught the importance of regular checkups, proper medication use, and steps to protect the health of mothers and babies. The results of this activity are expected to raise awareness among pregnant women about the importance of preventing infectious diseases and provide useful information to maintain their health and that of their unborn babies. Thus, this program not only prevents disease transmission but also contributes to the overall well-being of the community. Furthermore, this activity also aims to strengthen community participation in preventing the transmission of HIV, Hepatitis B, and Syphilis.

This article aims to examine in depth the implementation of moral values in Islamic educational institutions as a strategic step in shaping students who are not only intellectually intelligent, but also excel morally and spiritually. This research uses a qualitative approach with a library study type, through analysis of Islamic literature, articles on moral education, and relevant research results that discuss moral values. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of moral values in Islamic education includes three main aspects. First, morals towards Allah, including instilling piety, sincerity, and obedience through worship, spiritual habits, and strengthening religious ethics. Second, morals towards fellow human beings, which are realized by fostering honesty, justice, tolerance, empathy, and social responsibility through daily interactions, cooperation, and social activities. Third, morals towards nature, which includes instilling an attitude of love for the environment, preserving God's creation, and building ecological awareness as part of a Muslim's moral responsibility. Strategies for implementing moral values include integrating values into all subjects, providing role models by teachers and other educational staff, fostering positive behavior within the school environment, and continuously evaluating student attitudes and behavior. This strategy is designed to instill moral values not only at the cognitive level but also as concrete habits in daily life. This article's contribution lies in developing a conceptual and practical framework for building an Islamic education system oriented toward holistic character formation. With this approach, moral values are expected to be thoroughly internalized in students' personal, social, and environmental lives.  

This study aims to determine the effect of paternal attachment on emotional regulation in late adolescents in Padang City. Paternal attachment is seen as a crucial factor in developing children's emotional regulation skills, particularly during late adolescence, which is the transitional phase toward adulthood. Late adolescence is a crucial period in an individual's psychological development, where the ability to manage and express emotions appropriately determines their mental and social well-being. A strong emotional attachment to a father is believed to provide a foundation of emotional security that helps adolescents regulate their emotional responses to various life pressures and challenges. This study used a quantitative approach with a purposive sampling technique and involved 272 late adolescent respondents in Padang City as a sample. Data were collected through a questionnaire designed to measure the level of paternal attachment and adolescents' emotional regulation skills. Data collection was carried out with attention to the validity and reliability of the instrument so that the research results can be scientifically accounted for. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics to identify the relationship and influence between paternal attachment variables and emotional regulation. The results showed that the level of father attachment in late adolescents was in the moderate category at 53.3%, while their level of emotional regulation was in the high category at 42.3%. These findings indicate that although father attachment did not reach the high category for most, adolescents' emotional regulation abilities were relatively good. Further statistical analysis revealed that there was an influence of father attachment on emotional regulation in late adolescents, but this influence was very weak. This indicates that although father attachment contributes, there are many other factors that play a role in shaping adolescents' emotional regulation abilities, such as attachment to the mother, peer support, education, and individual experiences.

This research is motivated by the phenomenon of declining compliance levels of motor vehicle taxpayers in Kediri Regency in the last five years, despite the provision of various modernization services. Motor vehicle tax itself is one of the main sources of regional revenue that is very important in supporting development and financing public services. This study aims to determine the effect of income levels, taxpayer awareness, and modernization of the tax administration system on motor vehicle taxpayer compliance in Kediri Regency in 2024. The research method used is quantitative with a causality approach. The population in this study were all motor vehicle taxpayers in Kediri Regency, with a sample of 100 respondents selected using probability sampling methods and simple random sampling techniques. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression with the help of the IBM SPSS Statistics program version 30. The results of the study indicate that partially, the variables of income level and taxpayer awareness have a significant effect on motor vehicle taxpayer compliance, while the modernization of the tax administration system has no significant effect. However, simultaneously, all three variables have a significant effect on motor vehicle taxpayer compliance. These findings demonstrate the importance of increasing awareness and community economic empowerment in encouraging tax compliance. Based on these findings, it is recommended that local governments and relevant agencies improve tax education and maximize the use of modern tax services to encourage higher public compliance. Furthermore, the results of this study indicate that despite the implementation of modernized tax administration systems, non-technical factors such as income level and taxpayer awareness still have a greater influence on motor vehicle taxpayer compliance. This suggests that improved technology and administrative systems alone are not sufficient to significantly improve tax compliance.

Mental disorders are health problems that affect individuals, families, and communities, where the negative stigma given by families to members with mental disorders can influence the acceptance and support they receive. This study aimed to determine the relationship between family stigma and family acceptance toward people with mental disorders (PWMD) in the working area of Ladang Tuha Public Health Center, Pasie Raja Subdistrict, South Aceh. The research employed a descriptive-analytic design with a cross-sectional approach, involving 65 families selected using the total sampling technique. The instruments used were the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness (ISMI) questionnaire and a family acceptance questionnaire, analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that the majority of respondents had low stigma (67.7%) and poor acceptance (61.5%), with a p-value = 0.000, indicating a significant relationship between family stigma and family acceptance toward PWMD. The study concluded that the lower the family stigma, the better the acceptance toward PWMD; thus, educational efforts and family empowerment are needed to reduce stigma and improve acceptance.

Type II diabetes mellitus (Type II DM) is a chronic disease that requires long-term self-care skills to prevent serious complications. However, many patients have difficulty managing blood sugar levels independently due to a lack of structured and ongoing education. The Student Creativity Program (PKM) aims to improve the self-care skills of Type II DM patients through an educational approach based on the Self-Care Deficit theory from Dorothea Orem. The activity was carried out in Bonto Ramba, the working area of the Tamalanrea Makassar Health Center, involving 35 participants (33 women and 2 men). Interventions were carried out through interactive counseling, demonstrations of diabetic foot wound care, practice simulations, and the distribution of easy-to-understand educational media. Evaluation was carried out using a pre-post test to measure knowledge improvement and an observation sheet to assess the ability of self-care practice. Results showed a significant improvement in participants' self-care knowledge and skills after the intervention. In addition, family involvement in assisting patients has also increased, strengthening the sustainability of self-care behavior. Participants gave positive feedback on the method of delivering material that was contextual and relevant to daily life. The supportive-educational approach used has been proven effective in empowering patients and building awareness of the importance of self-control of health conditions. This program not only contributes to improving the quality of life of Type II DM patients, but also strengthens the role of the family as the main support in the treatment process. In conclusion, structured education based on Orem theory can be used as an intervention model that can be replicated in other areas with high prevalence of DM, as a promotive and preventive strategy in community-based management of chronic diseases.

Quality education services are closely linked to the effectiveness of financial and asset governance within local government institutions. This study aims to explore in depth the strategic role of the Finance and Assets Subdivision in enhancing the effectiveness of education services under the Central Kalimantan Provincial Education Office. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. The analysis was carried out following the Miles and Huberman model, which involves data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing.

Such improvements will contribute to achieving better educational outcomes and fostering public trust in government-managed education services.

Waste management remains a serious problem, particularly in rural areas, which generally have relatively low levels of environmental awareness. Inorganic waste such as plastic, glass, and aluminum is a major concern because it takes hundreds of years to decompose naturally. This situation poses potential long-term environmental hazards, including soil and water pollution, and ecosystem disruption. Therefore, effective educational efforts are needed to raise public awareness of waste issues. This community service activity was carried out in Sarah Perlak Village, Sungai Mas District, West Aceh Regency. The focus of the activity was the installation of educational signs containing information about the decomposition time of various types of waste. Implementation methods included direct observation to identify specific problems at the site, informal outreach to local residents, demonstrations related to waste sorting, and the creation and installation of educational signs. The signs were made from wooden planks and decorated with real waste such as plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and used paper, thus providing a tangible visualization to the community. The results of the activity showed that the visual approach through educational signs was able to attract the attention of residents, both children and adults. The information was presented clearly and accompanied by real-life examples, making the message easier to understand and remember. In addition, direct interaction through outreach and demonstrations provided an opportunity for residents to ask questions and share experiences related to waste management. Overall, this educational medium has proven effective in conveying environmental messages, raising awareness, and motivating the community to start sorting and reducing waste at the source. Going forward, this program is planned to be expanded through training in processing waste into useful products, thereby not only reducing pollution but also providing economic benefits to the community.

The low level of knowledge and attitudes of mothers regarding the use of the KIA handbook is due to their suboptimal use. Many mothers view the KIA handbook as merely a record of routine checkups, thus failing to understand the information it contains. This study aims to identify factors influencing the utilization of the Maternal and Child Health (KIA) handbook among mothers with toddlers in the Kwala Bekala Community Health Center (Puskesmas), Medan, Johor, in 2025. The study used an observational analytical method with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 45 mothers of toddlers living in the area. The sampling technique used was multistage sampling, conducted in stages to obtain appropriate respondents. The results showed that 62.2% of the utilization of the KIA handbook was influenced by mothers' attitudes, particularly regarding the implementation of the immunization program for pregnant women. The more positive the mother's attitude toward immunization, the greater the support of her husband's involvement in the process. The direction of the relationship found in this study was positive. Several factors that may influence mothers' attitudes toward the use of the KIA handbook include the number of children (the majority have one child (51.1%), the mother's education level (the highest is elementary school level at 19.42%), and the mother's occupation (the most common being a housewife at 30.66%). The use of the KIA handbook is classified as good at 62.2%, and the mother's attitude toward immunization during pregnancy shows a positive attitude at 75.6%.  

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of mindfulness training in reducing academic stress levels in college students. The background of this study is based on the high academic pressure experienced by college students, which can impact mental health, learning motivation, and academic achievement. Mindfulness was chosen as an intervention because this approach focuses on increasing full awareness of the present moment in a non-judgmental manner, which is believed to help individuals manage stress more adaptively. The study population was college students, with a sample of 15 participants selected using a simple random sampling technique. The study was conducted in a psychology laboratory under controlled conditions to minimize confounding factors. The research approach used was quantitative with an experimental design. The academic stress measurement instrument consisted of 31 items compiled based on the theory of Sarafino and Smith, which has been tested for validity and reliability. The research procedure included measuring academic stress levels before and after mindfulness training. Data analysis was carried out using a t-test to examine differences in pre-test and post-test scores, and a correlation test to examine the relationship between mindfulness application and stress reduction. The results showed a significance value of 0.00 (p < 0.05) and a correlation value of 0.991, which means Ha was accepted. These findings indicate a very strong positive relationship between mindfulness training and reduced academic stress levels. Therefore, it can be concluded that mindfulness training is effective in reducing academic stress in college students. The implication of this study is the need for higher education institutions to consider mindfulness training programs as a preventive and curative intervention strategy to maintain student mental health, enabling them to face academic demands more healthily and productively.

However, the study also identifies persistent challenges, including low levels of community participation, insufficient financial and human resources, and the strong influence of traditional cultural practices and misinformation that hinder optimal outcomes. To address these obstacles, adaptive strategies are necessary. Recommendations include the development of personalized approaches tailored to the socio-cultural context, the use of innovative communication methods such as social media and visual storytelling, and the strengthening of cross-sectoral collaboration with educational institutions, religious leaders, and local government agencies. These measures are expected to enhance community engagement, improve the accuracy and reach of health information, and sustain the long-term impact of health promotion programs.

Deep learning is a learning approach that emphasizes in-depth understanding of concepts and the development of critical, creative, collaborative, and communicative thinking skills. Although this approach aligns with the demands of a competency-based curriculum, its implementation at the elementary school level still faces various challenges. Based on a preliminary survey, 65% of elementary school teachers in partner schools admitted to experiencing difficulties in implementing deep learning effectively in the classroom. This study aims to identify innovative strategies that can improve teacher competency through a structured training program. The training activities involved 120 teachers from 10 elementary schools who are members of the teacher working group (KKG), with a focus on mastery of deep learning concepts, the application of interactive learning methods, and the use of educational technology. The training method was implemented continuously using a blended learning approach, including face-to-face sessions, practical workshops, mentoring, and the use of digital learning platforms. Evaluation results showed that 80% of training participants experienced significant improvements in their understanding of deep learning concepts, 70% were able to integrate interactive learning strategies into the teaching process, and 60% actively utilized learning technology to enrich students' learning experiences. These findings confirm that ongoing training integrated with technology support can improve teachers' capacity to implement deep learning in the classroom. Furthermore, the program's success is also influenced by intensive mentoring and collaboration among teachers through the Teacher Working Group (KKG). The implications of this research point to the need for educational policies at the elementary school level that encourage systematic, sustainable, and technology-based teacher professional development programs. Thus, the implementation of deep learning can be optimized to support the achievement of competency-based curriculum objectives and improve the overall quality of education

Low Birth Weight (LBW) is a condition in which a newborn weighs less than 2.5 kg, generally caused by premature birth (<37 weeks) or intrauterine growth restriction. LBW increases the risk of health problems such as growth delays, cognitive impairments, infections, respiratory disorders, cardiovascular issues, gastrointestinal problems, kidney disorders, and higher rates of infant morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to identify factors associated with LBW in the working area of Rosalina Munthe Clinic. The study used an analytical design with a cross-sectional approach, and data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods with SPSS. Results showed that 33.3% of respondents had LBW infants. Mothers with unsafe age were 39.7%, those with unsafe pregnancy intervals were 61.9%, low socioeconomic status was found in 66.7%, and low educational level in 81%. Analysis revealed a significant association between maternal age and LBW incidence. However, pregnancy interval, anemia, and socioeconomic status showed no significant association with LBW. This study highlights that maternal age plays a key role in LBW occurrence, while other factors require further investigation to understand their contribution to the risk of delivering low birth weight infants.

This study investigates the influence of job satisfaction on teacher performance at Omba Tana Rara Public School, a rural educational institution located in a geographically remote area with distinct contextual challenges. Despite the crucial role of teachers in shaping educational outcomes, limited research has explored how job satisfaction contributes to teacher performance in such isolated settings. Employing a quantitative approach, the research surveyed 32 teachers using a validated Likert-scale questionnaire designed to measure key dimensions of job satisfaction, including recognition, professional development, remuneration, interpersonal relationships, and work environment. Data analysis was conducted using simple linear regression to determine the statistical relationship between job satisfaction and teacher performance. The results revealed that job satisfaction has a significant and positive impact on teacher performance (β = 0.67; p < 0.01), indicating that increases in satisfaction levels are associated with higher levels of effectiveness and engagement among teachers. Among the satisfaction factors examined, recognition from leadership, opportunities for professional growth, and supportive working conditions were identified as dominant contributors to improved performance. The findings of this study contribute to filling the research gap concerning human resource issues in remote schools and offer practical insights for stakeholders in education. In particular, the study emphasizes the importance of designing context-specific strategies that prioritize teacher welfare as a means of boosting instructional quality and learning outcomes. It recommends policy interventions focused on enhancing intrinsic and extrinsic satisfaction elements through improved school management practices.

It advocates for a welfare-centered approach in managing and supporting teachers to ensure sustainable improvements in school effectiveness.

Neonatal jaundice is a common health problem in newborns, characterized by yellow discoloration of the skin and sclera due to increased bilirubin levels in the blood. This condition, if not detected and treated properly, can lead to serious complications such as kernicterus, which can lead to long-term neurological developmental disorders. Risk factors contributing to jaundice include suboptimal breastfeeding practices, delayed initiation of breastfeeding, and low birth weight. Adequate breastfeeding from an early age plays a crucial role in accelerating the excretion of bilirubin through feces, while monitoring birth weight can help identify infants at risk of hyperbilirubinemia. This outreach activity aims to increase mothers' and families' knowledge about the importance of early and exclusive breastfeeding, as well as monitoring birth weight as a preventive measure for neonatal jaundice. The activity was conducted at Andi Makkasau Regional Hospital using lectures, interactive discussions, and the use of educational media such as leaflets and posters. The training materials covered the definition, risk factors, signs and symptoms of jaundice, early detection procedures, the benefits of breastfeeding in preventing jaundice, and the importance of recording and monitoring infant weight. The activity was evaluated through pre- and post-tests to gauge participants' understanding. The evaluation results showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge, particularly regarding the relationship between delayed breastfeeding, low birth weight, and an increased risk of neonatal jaundice. Furthermore, participants gained a better understanding of home-based measures to detect early symptoms and when to immediately take their baby to a health facility.
