mathematical instruction often lacks relevance to students’ real-life contexts, necessitating more meaningful and contextualized approaches. This study aims to integrate geometric concepts and ethnomathematics through the utilization of ketupat a traditional Indonesian cultural artifact as a culturally grounded instructional medium. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, using literature review and contextual observation of the geometric structure of ketupat. The findings reveal that ketupat encompasses geometric elements such as symmetry, three-dimensional forms, woven patterns, and calculations of volume and surface area. Moreover, ketupat holds significant symbolic meaning within Indonesian culture, making it a relevant bridge between mathematical concepts and local values. The study concludes that using ketupat as a contextual medium enhances students’ conceptual understanding of geometry and strengthens the integration of cultural values within mathematics education.

This study examines the cultural diversity of the Batak people in North Sumatra through a systematic literature review of three core pillars: language, traditions, and social systems. Findings reveal significant inter-sub-ethnic variations (e.g., Toba, Karo, Simalungun), including linguistic diversity (V-S-O structures in Toba vs. complex affixation in Karo), distinct rituals (such as Saur Matua and Manulangi Natuatua), and kinship systems rooted in the Dalihan Na Tolu philosophy. Amid positive dynamics like digitalization of traditional arts (Tortor Martonun) and gender transformations, Batak culture faces critical threats: symbolic desacralization (commodification of ulos textiles), kinship disintegration (atomization of Dalihan Na Tolu due to urbanization), and erosion of transcendental knowledge (extinction of Hata Andung rituals). The study recommends a community-based participatory research (CBPR) preservation model, integrating local content curricula and geographical indication certification. A key limitation is the literature bias toward the Toba sub-group, necessitating urgent comparative studies across sub-ethnicities and analysis of digital media’s impact on cultural transmission.

Nutritional problems can jeopardize the survival of a country. The nutritional condition of each individual reflects the physiological demands of that individual, because if these needs are not met, nutrition-related health problems will arise. Children's health and nutritional status are interrelated. When a child's health deteriorates due to an infectious disease, their appetite is affected and they consume less food, resulting in less nutrients entering the body. Journals in this literature review used 3 databases including Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct using the words malnutrition, child, 2-5 years. The literature search was adjusted based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The search results obtained 10 journals consisting of 4 national journals and 6 international journals. The results showed that the risk factors for malnutrition in children aged 2-5 years were inadequate nutritional intake, parental education and knowledge, infectious diseases, parenting, environmental sanitation and socioeconomic factors.

Malaria remains a significant public health issue both globally and in Indonesia, particularly affecting high-risk groups such as infants, young children, and pregnant women. The increasing incidence of malaria is closely linked to environmental and behavioral factors. This study aims to examine the relationship between community behavior and environmental conditions with malaria incidence at the Arso City Health Center, Keerom Regency. A quantitative, cross-sectional design was used, allowing analysis of variables at a single point in time. The sample was selected through simple random sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Findings revealed that there is no significant relationship between the habit of going outside the house and malaria incidence (p = 0.07). However, there is a significant relationship between the use of mosquito repellent and malaria incidence (p = 0.000). Similarly, using mosquito nets and gauze also showed a significant relationship with reduced malaria cases. Environmental aspects such as mosquito breeding sites and unsealed house walls were also found to be significantly associated with malaria occurrence. These results suggest that both behavioral factors—particularly protective measures—and environmental conditions contribute to malaria transmission in the community. Public health efforts should prioritize education on preventive behaviors and improvements in living environments to reduce malaria risk.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between job satisfaction and employee loyalty in an industrial environment.

The method used is a literature study with a quantitative descriptive approach, reviewing various theories and previous research findings related to the two variables. The results of the study indicate that high job satisfaction is directly related to higher levels of employee loyalty, which is reflected in positive attitudes towards the company, long-term commitment, and reduced turnover rates. Therefore, companies in the industrial sector are advised to focus on improving employee job satisfaction in order to strengthen loyalty and support the long-term success of the organization.

Changes in land surface temperature are one of the important indicators in monitoring global environmental change. In the last decade, increasing surface temperatures have become a global concern, as they have the potential to affect ecosystems, air quality, water availability and human health. In addition, increasing land surface temperature also has a direct impact on the urban heat island phenomenon, which can worsen environmental conditions in urban areas. In this context, analyzing periodic changes in land surface temperature is important to understand the patterns and factors that influence these changes. The objectives in conducting this research, namely: Analyzing the land surface temperature, Creating a regional land surface temperature map and Analyzing changes in land surface temperature from the land surface temperature map of Pariaman City in 2015, 2019, and 2023. Based on the results of the analysis of changes in land surface temperature using Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS images in 2015, 2019, and 2023, it was found that there were significant variations in temperature changes in several areas. Landsat 8 image data is processed through several stages, starting from converting Digital Number (DN) values to spectral radians, brightness temperature, to estimating Land Surface Temperature (LST) in Celsius units. The analysis shows that there was a significant increase in land surface temperature during the period, especially in urban and coastal areas. In 2015, the majority of areas had temperatures of 20°C-24°C, while in 2019 it shifted to 24°C-28°C, and in 2023 it was dominated by temperatures of 28°C-32°C and above 32°C. These changes reflect a significant local warming trend, influenced by human activities and land use change. This research is expected to contribute to the understanding of environmental dynamics and support spatial planning that is more adaptive to climate change.
