Family health is a fundamental component of public health development, as the family represents the smallest social unit shaping individual health behaviors. This study aimed to analyze the family health conditions of the community in Pulau Jambu Village, Kampar District, based on demographic, behavioral, socioeconomic, and environmental factors. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed with a total sample of 153 respondents selected using random sampling, ensuring equal probability for each population member to be included.The results indicated that most respondents were in the productive age group of 19–60 years (68.8%), with farming as the dominant occupation (47.1%). The majority relied on borehole wells as their water source (61.4%); however, 47.1% had septic tank distances ≤10 meters, posing potential risks of water contamination. Regular physical activity was reported by 60.8% of respondents, yet the prevalence of smoking was very high (78.4%). Most respondents had a junior high school education (45.1%), influencing health literacy levels, although 58.2% demonstrated good knowledge of clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS). Health service utilization was relatively high (86.3%), though some residents still practiced traditional treatment.In conclusion, family health conditions are influenced by a combination of behavioral, environmental sanitation, and socioeconomic factors. Strengthening family-based health interventions through PHBS education, smoking control, and environmental sanitation improvement is essential to enhance sustainable community health status.

Indiscipline in learning behavior is a form of problematic behavior that is commonly found in the school environment and has the potential to hinder the effectiveness of the learning process. This issue does not arise suddenly; rather, it develops gradually through processes influenced by various factors. This article aims to examine the problem of indiscipline in learning through a review and analysis of relevant research findings. The study uses a literature review method by collecting, examining, and analyzing journals and scientific references that discuss learning discipline and students’ indisciplined behavior. The results indicate that indiscipline in learning activities is influenced by both internal and external factors. Internal factors include low interest and motivation, poor study habits, weak values and morals, as well as students’ physical and psychological conditions. Meanwhile, external factors include family situations, peer influence, the school environment, the use of technology, and inconsistent enforcement of rules. The observable behaviors include arriving late, skipping school without clear reasons, violating school regulations, and showing a lack of responsibility. Therefore, addressing the problem of indiscipline in learning requires a comprehensive and sustainable approach involving both schools and families.

This study aims to investigate the skill gaps experienced by bachelor’s degree graduates in Indonesia when facing the dual demands of Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0. The method applied in this research is a systematic literature review, synthesizing findings from 21 scientific articles focusing on the dynamics of skill gaps and the effectiveness of higher education interventions in Indonesia. The study findings reveal two main categories of competency gaps. In the context of Industry 4.0, the most significant deficiencies are observed in specific hard skills, particularly data literacy, artificial intelligence proficiency, and automation across various sectors. Meanwhile, within the Society 5.0 dimension, deeper gaps emerge in soft skills and human-centered competencies, including complex problem-solving, emotional intelligence, creativity, and environmentally sustainable skills. These human-centered skill gaps play a critical role in enhancing graduate value as AI technologies increasingly replace routine tasks. Although the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka program shows positive outcomes in improving sustainability skills and digital certification, it has not fully succeeded in driving fundamental transformation of higher education learning outcomes, limiting alignment with sustainability principles and the Society 5.0 approach. It can be concluded that Indonesian higher education faces the challenge of undertaking fundamental curriculum reform to integrate human-centered competencies as a foundation for preparing future human resources.

In Indonesia, illegal gold mining (PETI) is still a persistent environmental crime, especially in resource-rich areas like Bungo Regency, Jambi Province. The efficacy of local law enforcement is still in doubt, despite the fact that Article 158 of the modified Mining Law (Law No. 3 of 2020) offers a solid legal foundation for criminal penalties. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of criminal law enforcement in Bungo Regency against PETI from the standpoint of Islamic law based on maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. This study uses a juridical-empirical approach, combining pertinent court rulings, field data from law enforcement, and normative legal analysis. The results show that although legal measures like arrests and convictions have been carried out, they have not had a major deterrent effect. The overall effect of enforcement operations is weakened by structural issues, such as the economic dependence of local populations, the scarcity of alternative livelihoods, and the difficulties of prosecuting informal financiers. According to maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, illicit mining is incompatible with the defense of basic principles, especially the preservation of life (ḥifḍ al-nafs), property (ḥifṢ al-māl), and environmental sustainability. The study comes to the conclusion that effective law enforcement necessitates an integrated strategy that combines preventive and rehabilitative tactics, such as economic empowerment, legal awareness campaigns, and regular supervision, with repressive measures. A more equitable, long-lasting, and socially conscious form of environmental criminal law enforcement is provided by combining positive law with the ethical framework of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah.

Slums are an urban issue that arises due to rapid population growth and the limited capacity of local governments to provide adequate housing and basic infrastructure. This leads to areas with low environmental quality, limited access, poor drainage, and high socio-economic vulnerability. A similar phenomenon occurs in Jambi City, which requires a sustainable handling strategy. This study aims to analyze the strategies implemented by the Department of Public Housing and Settlement Areas of Jambi City in addressing slums and assess their contribution to environmental quality. A descriptive qualitative approach was used to understand the policies, program implementation mechanisms, and institutional challenges. Data was collected through interviews with government officials, field observations, and analysis of planning documents. The results indicate that the strategy focuses on improving basic infrastructure, such as road construction, drainage rehabilitation, and the provision of settlement facilities. This program enhances environmental quality and accessibility but faces challenges such as budget limitations, suboptimal inter-agency coordination, and the socio-economic conditions of the community. Addressing slums requires a more comprehensive approach, including collaborative governance, increased community participation, and adaptive policies to ensure sustainable improvements.

Landslides in the Giritengah Catchment Area are influenced by several factors, including geological conditions, rainfall intensity, geomorphology, soil characteristics, and inappropriate land use practices, all of which affect regional spatial planning and environmental stability. This study presents a literature review that analyzes landslide vulnerability, evaluates the impact of land use changes, and proposes integrated Soil and Water Conservation Techniques (SWCT) to support sustainable land management. The analysis applies Geographic Information System methods using thematic map overlays such as rainfall distribution, slope gradient, geological structure, and land use patterns. The results show that areas categorized as having high landslide vulnerability cover 44.02% or approximately 158.69 hectares of the catchment area, while areas with very low vulnerability account for only 0.12% or about 0.79 hectares. Land use conversion, particularly mixed dryland agriculture, has increased landslide risk by reducing slope stability and increasing surface runoff. To address this issue, conservation strategies are recommended, including vegetative measures such as greening 38.51 hectares in settlement areas and implementing agroforestry systems across 218.48 hectares. In addition, structural measures such as three dam retainers and twenty gully plugs are proposed in both protected and cultivation zones to support disaster mitigation and align with regional spatial planning policies.

The conversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural land continues to increase along with the pressures of urbanization, industrialization, and settlement expansion. This condition poses risks to food security, environmental sustainability, and farmer welfare. This article reviews literature based on 25 abstracts/research results on LP2B in Indonesia to map policy implementation patterns, the relationship between LP2B and regional spatial planning, inhibiting factors, and the direction of policy strengthening. The method used is a narrative review with thematic synthesis of normative legal studies, juridical-empirical, qualitative, mixed methods, and spatial-quantitative approaches. The results of the review indicate: (1) LP2B is highly dependent on the harmonization of spatial planning policies, especially RTRW/RDTR and licensing mechanisms based on KKPR-OSS; (2) many regions are still stuck at the land inventory-identification stage, not yet reaching the determination and operational protection through LP2B Regional Regulations; (3) dominant obstacles include regulatory asynchronous, weak law enforcement, minimal cross-agency coordination, limited data by name by address, suboptimal socialization, and conflicts of interest in non-agricultural development; (4) incentive-disincentive instruments have not been implemented consistently, although socially farmers tend to accept LP2B protection; and (5) quantitative evidence at the national level shows that LP2B policies have a positive effect on the percentage of rice fields, despite being suppressed by population density and real estate sector growth. This article emphasizes the need for an integrated spatial governance approach, strengthening regional institutions, and designing policies that are socially and environmentally just to ensure that LP2B is effective in maintaining regional food security.

This study investigates the effects of safety leadership and work environment on patient safety culture, with work motivation as an intervening variable among nurses at Hospital X in Jakarta. A quantitative approach using a cross-sectional design was employed, with data collected from 111 nurses through structured questionnaires. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results show that safety leadership and work environment have significant positive impacts on nurses’ work motivation. Additionally, work motivation directly influences patient safety culture. The study also finds that work motivation partially mediates the relationship between safety leadership and patient safety culture, as well as between work environment and patient safety culture. These findings suggest that both leadership practices and environmental conditions affect patient safety culture directly and indirectly by enhancing nurses’ motivation. The study highlights the importance of safety leadership and supportive work environments in promoting a sustainable patient safety culture through improved nurse motivation. From a practical perspective, hospital management should focus on fostering effective safety leadership practices and creating conducive work environments to enhance patient safety culture. This research contributes to the literature on patient safety and management by providing empirical evidence on the role of work motivation in strengthening safety culture in hospitals.

This community service program aims to develop a local wisdom-based literacy model as an effort to improve students’ reading interest at SD Negeri 025 Samarinda Utara. The low level of reading interest among elementary school students remains a challenge in the implementation of the School Literacy Movement initiated by the Kementerian Pendidikan, Kebudayaan, Riset, dan Teknologi.
