The hospital has a health promotion function for the community. During the pandemic, the health sector underwent many changes, one of which was the use of media. Health promotion is carried out through the activities of providing information, influencing, and helping the community improve their health status. At this time, digital media was more dominantly used in health promotion activities. Canva is an application for producing digital content that is commonly used today. Training on making health promotion media with the Canva application is the goal of implementing this activity, so that later partner health workers can have the knowledge and skills to produce health promotion content digitally. This activity is a community service program carried out at PKU Muhammadiyah Kartusara Hospital in July 2023. Based on the results of this training activity, it can be concluded that the use of digital content in health promotion activities has not been implemented. It is necessary to strengthen the capacity of health workers, especially in training for creating digital content for health promotion.

The increasing consumer awareness of environmental issues has encouraged culinary Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to adopt green marketing strategies as an effort to build competitive advantage. Bandung City, as a creative city with strong local culinary potential, is the focus of this study to analyze the implementation of green marketing in the MSME culinary sector. This study aims to analyze the utilization of green marketing by local-based culinary MSMEs in Bandung, identify the driving and inhibiting factors of its implementation, and measure its impact on business performance. The research applied a qualitative approach by conducting a survey with 150 culinary MSMEs and in-depth interviews with 20 business owners. The findings indicate that 68% of MSMEs have implemented at least one green marketing element, focusing primarily on the use of environmentally friendly packaging (72%) and local raw materials (65%). The main driving factors were consumer demand (78%) and government regulations (56%), while the primary barriers included limited capital (65%) and lack of knowledge (58%). Although the implementation of green marketing among culinary MSMEs in Bandung is still in its early stages, the trend is positive. Government and institutional support is needed to enhance MSMEs’ capacity in developing sustainable marketing strategies. 

The development targets in the Health sector in the 2020–2024 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) place one of the main targets for maternal and child health is to reduce the incidence of children under five years old (toddlers) stunting (low height / short) by 30.8% (2018) to 19% in 2024. Optimal Health Status must be prepared since a woman before marriage. Then continued when the woman is pregnant, and while breastfeeding. Childhood is the foundation for growth and development in the next stage, if there are nutritional problems then the consequences that arise are permanent. The risk of stunting by 7x can occur in women 15-49 years who experience anemia and when they become pregnant will be at risk of giving birth to stunted babies. In women of childbearing age aged 15-49 years is the foundation for growth and development in the next stage, if during this period women experience nutritional problems then the consequences that arise can be permanent or irreversible. Its essence is a critical period when a system is plastic and sensitive to its environment, followed by a permanent loss of plasticity and functional capacity (Ummi Kalsum et al., 2021). Before education was provided, most adolescents showed a low level of understanding, namely 31 respondents (56.7%), and awareness of the importance of monitoring nutritional status during adolescence was also minimal. However, after interactive counseling with an easy-to-understand approach, there was a significant increase in knowledge, with 41 respondents (68.3%) showing an increase in understanding, reflected in a change in the knowledge category to a better level. This activity emphasizes the importance of promotive and preventive interventions in areas at high risk of nutritional problems. The implementation of direct and participatory education involving cadres and health workers has proven effective in increasing awareness and forming healthy lifestyle behaviors in adolescents. Therefore, similar education programs need to be implemented continuously to reduce anemia rates to prevent stunting and prevent stunting from adolescence.

This community service program focuses on transforming financial management at Pharmacare Pharmacy Ciputat through the integration of digital accounting and strengthening human resource (HR) management.

This qualitative literature review explores the impact of production flexibility on trade credit policy in the context of demand uncertainty and supplier competition. The findings show that production flexibility significantly affects the value and maturity of trade credit. Flexible firms tend to delay defaults, order larger quantities, and receive higher trade credit values. This flexibility allows firms to adjust their production capacity according to market changes, increasing their bargaining power in trade credit negotiations. In addition, production flexibility influences firms’ capital structure decisions and financial flexibility, which have a positive impact on trade credit policy. However, the proportion of trade credit to firm value is higher in less flexible firms. Although providing valuable insights, this study is limited by the existing literature and lacks empirical validation. Future research should test these findings empirically and explore industry-specific factors.

The micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) sector plays a vital role in sustaining the national economy, particularly in food security and employment absorption. However, this sector remains highly vulnerable to economic disruptions, including large-scale layoffs in the industrial sector. This study aims to examine the socio-economic impacts of layoffs on the sustainability of traditional fish processing businesses. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through semi-structured interviews with a traditional fish processor who has operated since 1990 in Tanjung Morawa, Deli Serdang, North Sumatra. The findings reveal that layoffs have led to a significant decline in consumer purchasing power, resulting in a drop in daily production volume (from 20 to 5–8 baskets) and increased waste due to unsold inventory. The lack of innovation, absence of adaptive strategies, and minimal external support have further exacerbated the business’s vulnerability. Therefore, policy interventions and capacity-building programs are essential to enhance the resilience of MSMEs amid labor market fluctuations.  

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of evaluation and assessment in mathematics learning at MAN 1 Padang, focusing on the gap between the ideal expectations and the reality in the classroom. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and semi-structured interviews with mathematics teachers of grades 10, 11, and 12 conducted in May 2025, this study analyzes the evaluation practices, challenges encountered, and the alignment between expectations and actual practice. The results indicate that mathematics evaluation is still dominated by written tests that inadequately measure students' comprehensive abilities, while time constraints, conventional teaching methods, and low student participation remain significant obstacles. Therefore, it is necessary to develop more varied and authentic evaluation instruments and enhance teachers' capacity through training to make assessments more effective in supporting the achievement of comprehensive and sustainable mathematics learning objectives.

Curriculum management is a fundamental aspect in the education system that integrates all components of learning to achieve educational goals effectively and efficiently.

With a qualitative approach based on literature studies, this study found that good curriculum management is based on the principles of productivity, democratization, efficiency, and stakeholder involvement. However, obstacles such as lack of teacher competence, limited facilities, and lack of understanding of the curriculum are the main obstacles. Therefore, evaluation and strengthening of teacher capacity and provision of facilities are strategic steps in improving the quality of education through adaptive and contextual curriculum management.

Integrated assessment is a multidisciplinary approach used in the judicial system to evaluate the psychological, social and medical conditions of legal subjects, particularly in cases involving children, victims of violence, persons with mental disabilities or defendants with psychological disorders. This study aims to examine the evidentiary strength of integrated assessment from juridical and psychological perspectives using a normative juridical approach. The findings reveal that although integrated assessments are recognized in legal practice, their status as admissible evidence is not yet explicitly regulated in criminal procedural law. From a psychological perspective, such assessments possess high scientific value and can provide an objective overview of the subject’s condition. However, limited understanding among legal practitioners regarding the interpretation of assessment results remains a major challenge. Therefore, regulatory harmonization and cross-sectoral capacity building are needed to optimize the function of integrated assessments in court proceedings.

Hemoglobin and hematocrit examinations serve as important early indicators of hematological status, reflecting the blood’s capacity to transport oxygen. A decrease in these two parameters leads to anemia, which is often undetected due to minimal early symptoms and low awareness to undergo examinations. This activity was carried out using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach, by examining hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in adult participants. Capillary blood samples were analyzed using a portable device at the examination location. Education was delivered through leaflets regarding the importance of iron, vitamin B12, and folate intake to support erythrocyte formation. The examination was attended by 104 participants, the majority of whom were women. The average hemoglobin was recorded as approaching the lower limit of normal values, while hematocrit levels showed wide variations. More than half of the participants were classified as having anemia. This high proportion of anemia highlights the urgent need for targeted nutritional education. Hemoglobin and hematocrit screening proves effective as an early detection tool for hematological disorders. Education that is linked to laboratory findings should be prioritized to promote improved dietary patterns, particularly the consumption of iron-rich foods, vitamin B12, and folate, in order to prevent erythropoietic dysfunction and long-term health complications.

The mining system applied by PT Bukit Baiduri Energi is an open pit mining system utilizing the open-pit method. The application of the open-pit method creates a depression that has a high potential to become a catchment area for both surface runoff and groundwater. In the mining pit of PT Bukit Baiduri Energi, there is a sump located at an elevation of -86 meters above sea level (mdpl). The planned mining boundary is at an elevation of -110 mdpl. Therefore, this research aims to determine the area of the catchment, runoff discharge values, sump capacity, and pump capacity, so that the volume of incoming water can be known, allowing for the control of the sump to prevent overflow that could disrupt mining activities.. Based on the data obtained and the calculations performed, the catchment area was found to be 103.42 ha. In the calculation of runoff discharge using the rational method, the total runoff discharge entering sump A9 was found to be 4,211.66 m3/day. The capacity of the sump was measured at 125,187.62 m3. In the pump capacity calculation, the pump capacity based on the pumping discharge was found to be 2,926.80 m3/day.

Unsignalized intersections are a major point of concern due to the increasing number of vehicles. Bima City is a city located on the eastern part of Sumbawa Island, West Nusa Tenggara Province. As a developing city, congestion and busy traffic often occur on roads or intersections of Mongosidi and Anggrek roads. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the performance and level of service of unsignalized intersections at Mongosidi Street and Anggrek Street. The method used refers to the Indonesian Road Capacity Manual (MKJI) 1997. This study aims to determine the indicators of traffic behavior at unsignalized intersections. The results of the calculation obtained a total flow of 3147 smp / hour, a capacity value (C) of 4234 smp / hour and a degree of saturation (DS) of 0.74, Traffic Delay (DT) of 8.07 sec / smp, intersection delay (D) of 11.73 sec / smp and upper and lower limit queuing opportunities of 44.46% and 17.74% respectively. This condition occurs on Monday, March 17, 2025 at the peak hour of 06.45-07.45 WITA. For the level of service of the intersection pattern, the conditions on Monday, March 17, 2025 at the peak hour of 06.45-07.45 WITA are also categorized as type C, namely stable flow, but the speed and movement of vehicles are controlled.Drivers are limited in choosing speed, with saturation density (Ds) around 0.45 - 0.74.

Disposal area is an area at an open pit mine that is used as a place to store or dispose of worthless materials. Disposal must also follow the specified safety factor standards, if the disposal design is not safe after being analyzed by a geotechnical engineer, the design must be redesigned to achieve the desired safety factor value. One way to increase the fk value is to make a Counterweight plan in making disposal. Where Counterweight is a fill material that is made with special treatment so that the soil bearing capacity increases which functions to withstand the load on it. Landslides on disposal slopes are one of the serious problems faced in mining activities, especially in areas with vulnerable geological and topographic conditions. PT Jembayan Muarabara, which operates in Marangkayu District, Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan Province, is no exception to this challenge. The A–A’ cross section shows a safety factor value of 1.118 in saturated conditions, which indicates that the slope is at a stable limit and needs to be improved through engineering such as adding counterweights. The B–B’ cross-section has a safety factor value of 2.332, which is included in the safe category and has met the provisions of the ESDM Ministerial Decree No. 1827 K/30/MEM/2018. The C-C’ cross-section has a safety factor value of 1.511, which is included in the safe category and has met the provisions of the ESDM Ministerial Decree No. 1827 K/30/MEM/2018.

Catcalling or verbal sexual harassment is a social phenomenon that is rampant in Indonesia. It involves unwanted sexualized remarks that dehumanize the victim and can have a psychological impact. Although Law Number 12 of 2022 on Criminal Acts of Sexual Violence (UU TPKS) has regulated non-physical sexual harassment in Article 5, its application in the field still faces various obstacles. This study aims to determine the legal formulation of the application of sanctions against perpetrators of verbal sexual harassment (catcalling). This research uses an empirical normative approach. The results show that the legal formulation of the application of sanctions against perpetrators of verbal sexual harassment has progressed with explicit regulation in Article 5 of Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning Criminal Acts of Sexual Violence (TPKS Law). To realize substantive and effective justice, it is necessary to improve the formulation of sanctions, integrate non-criminal sanctions, increase the capacity of law enforcers, and strengthen public education.

The use of materials in health research requires a binding instrument to regulate the distribution of benefits. Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) is an essential material transfer agreement, allowing the management of the transfer through negotiation until a mutually beneficial agreement is reached. In addition, MTA functions as a contract that protects the rights of the parties involved and ensures compliance with regulations, based on the theory of legal protection and authority. This study uses a normative legal method with a statutory and conceptual approach. The collection of legal materials is carried out through the identification of positive legal rules, as well as examining primary, secondary, and tertiary sources. The data is then analyzed from the identification of legal facts to drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that MTA regulations in Indonesia are comprehensively regulated by various levels, including Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health (Article 340 paragraph 3), Law Number 11 of 2019 (Article 76 letter h and Article 77 paragraph 1), Government Regulation Number 28 of 2024 (Articles 972, 1025–1031), and Regulation of the Minister of Health Number 85 of 2020 (Articles 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 14, 15, and 16 paragraph 1). These national legal frameworks complement each other to ensure procedural certainty, biosafety, benefit sharing, protection of intellectual property rights, and sanctions for violators in the transfer of health materials. Although its implementation faces preventive and repressive challenges, MTA has proven essential in bridging national and commercial interests, increasing the capacity of science and technology, and protecting the sovereignty of Indonesia's genetic resources.
