Anemia is a condition with hemoglobin and erythrocyte levels lower than normal, which is 12 grams/dl for adolescents. Iron deficiency anemia in adolescent girls is at higher risk because it causes a decrease in immunity, making them susceptible to health problems. One of the causes is the lack of knowledge of adolescent girls about healthy lifestyles and self-motivation regarding the importance of balanced nutrition in preventing anemia. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of education on the level of knowledge of adolescent girls about anemia. The type of research used was quantitative research with a quasi-experimental research design with a pre-test-post-test research design. The sample consisted of 90 adolescent girls. The results showed that before being given education, the majority of respondents were in the sufficient category (45.6%), while after being given education, the majority were in the good category (84.4%). The results of this study showed that there was a significant difference in the level of knowledge of adolescent girls about anemia before and after being given education with a significance value of 0.000, which means there was a significant effect of education on the level of knowledge of adolescent girls about anemia.

This study examines the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing student collaborative learning, with a particular emphasis on AI-driven feedback mechanisms and patterns of student interaction in developing effective collaborative skills. Unlike prior studies, this research highlights the mediating effect of AI-driven feedback on teamwork efficiency and overall learning outcomes in collaborative environments. An explanatory quantitative approach was applied using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to ensure robust data analysis. Data were collected from 112 university students who were actively engaged in AI-assisted collaborative learning activities, using a structured online survey instrument. The data were subsequently analyzed using SmartPLS software. The results reveal that AI significantly enhances student interaction (β = 0.534, p < 0.000) and improves problem-solving feedback (β = 0.620, p < 0.000), both of which contribute to significantly strengthening collaborative skills (β = 0.716, p < 0.000). However, the findings also indicate that AI alone does not directly improve collaboration without the support of structured pedagogical design and guidance. Therefore, universities should strategically integrate AI-driven feedback into Learning Management Systems (LMS) and strengthen digital literacy initiatives to optimize the effectiveness and sustainability of AI in collaborative learning contexts.

Industrial hygiene management plays a critical role in protecting worker health by controlling exposure to hazardous factors in the workplace. However, many work environments still show suboptimal implementation, leading to increased risks of occupational diseases. This study aims to analyze the implementation of industrial hygiene management systems in improving worker health based on a literature review approach. The method used is a literature review by collecting and analyzing scientific articles from national databases published between 2021 and 2026. A total of ten relevant articles were selected through a systematic screening process based on predefined inclusion criteria. The findings indicate that workplace hazards such as physical, chemical, and ergonomic factors are significantly associated with various health problems, including respiratory disorders, musculoskeletal issues, and work-related fatigue. The implementation of industrial hygiene management systems, including hazard identification, risk control measures, use of personal protective equipment, and environmental monitoring, has been shown to reduce health risks among workers. However, the effectiveness of implementation is influenced by factors such as worker compliance, management commitment, and availability of facilities. These results highlight the importance of a comprehensive and systematic approach to industrial hygiene in maintaining worker health and preventing occupational diseases. Therefore, strengthening the implementation of industrial hygiene management systems is essential to create a safe and healthy working environment and to support sustainable occupational health practices.

The development of social media in the digital era has significantly changed children’s social interaction patterns. Besides providing benefits such as easier access to information and opportunities for creativity, social media also brings negative impacts on children’s psychological, social, and moral development. This study aims to analyze the restriction of social media use among children from the perspective of Jürgen Habermas, especially regarding the concepts of the public sphere, communicative rationality, and the colonization of the lifeworld. This research uses a literature study method with a qualitative descriptive approach through the collection and analysis of relevant scientific articles. Data validity was strengthened through inclusion and exclusion criteria as well as source triangulation. The findings indicate that social media use among children has an ambivalent impact. Positive effects can emerge when there is strong parental supervision, while weak supervision increases the risk of exposure to harmful content, psychological problems, and reduced quality of social interaction. Restricting social media use through time regulation, content control, and digital education is considered important for protecting children’s development. From Habermas’s perspective, children are vulnerable in the digital public sphere because of their limited communicative rationality. Therefore, restrictions are viewed as efforts to protect children’s values and rationality from distortion by the digital media system.

This study addresses the issue of suboptimal student academic performance, which is frequently linked to the selection of instructional strategies that do not actively engage learners. Learning outcomes represent a multidimensional construct involving knowledge acquisition, attitude development, and skill formation. Therefore, the application of an appropriate learning model is essential to support meaningful learning experiences. This research aims to investigate the impact of implementing a Problem Based Learning (PBL) model supported by audio-visual media on students’ academic achievement. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was employed. The study involved two groups: an experimental class receiving the PBL intervention and a control class experiencing conventional instruction. Data were collected through pretest and posttest assessments and analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The findings reveal a statistically significant difference between the two groups, indicated by a significance value below 0.05. This confirms that integrating problem-based strategies with audio-visual support contributes positively to improving students’ learning outcomes. The results highlight the importance of student-centered learning environments in fostering deeper understanding and engagement.

The rise of the digital age has brought significant changes to leadership dynamics and leadership development patterns within the context of Christian ministry. This paper addresses the critical issue of leadership succession failure, which is driven by a generational gap between senior leaders and young leaders-in-training, as well as the underutilization of technology in the mentoring process. Using a descriptive qualitative approach through literature review, state-of-the-art analysis, and theological synthesis, this study assesses the relevance and effectiveness of the multiplicative leadership model as a solution to the leadership succession problem. The analysis reveals that multiplicative leadership—which emphasizes discipleship, intensive mentoring, delegation of responsibility, and intergenerational collaboration—can bridge the generational gap while accelerating the multiplication of leaders in the digital age. The integration of digital technologies, such as virtual mentoring, digital training modules, and collaborative media, has proven capable of expanding the impact of the leadership development process and enhancing relational closeness between generations. This paper concludes that the multiplicative leadership model is a strategic and theological approach aligned with the biblical mandate to produce leaders capable of developing other leaders, and is relevant for addressing the challenges of contemporary Christian leadership.

This community service activity aimed to enhance human resource management (HRM) literacy among congregation members through weekly religious study sessions at Kramatwatu Mosque. HRM literacy is important not only in formal work environments, but also in family life, social organizations, and religious activities. The problem identified was the congregation’s limited understanding of basic HRM concepts, such as planning, organizing, role distribution, discipline, communication, and individual potential development. The community service program was carried out through an educational-participatory approach in the form of material presentation, interactive discussions, simple case studies, and reflection on Islamic values relevant to human resource management. The activity was implemented gradually in weekly religious study forums by taking into account the characteristics of the congregation. The results showed an improvement in the congregation’s understanding of the importance of HRM in daily life, particularly in the aspects of responsibility, cooperation, discipline, and self-capacity development. Weekly religious study sessions proved effective as a medium for community empowerment because they were able to integrate religious values with practical HRM concepts. Therefore, strengthening HRM literacy through weekly religious study sessions can serve as a relevant educational strategy to improve mosque-based human resource quality.
