This study aims to analyse the relationship between the level of health knowledge and the use of herbal therapy in hypertensive patients in Aldehia (One-Sere, Casmuto, Suli-Ua), Suco Buruma, Posto Administrativo Baucau, Municipiu Baucau, Timor Leste in 2024.  This study used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of hypertensive patients in Aldehia (One-Sere, Casmuto, Suli-Ua), Suco Buruma, Posto Administrativo Baucau, Municipiu Baucau, Timor Leste in 2024. The sample was selected by random sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire with variables of health knowledge, use of herbal therapy, and other factors that influence the decision to use herbal therapy.65% of hypertensive patients have a low level of health knowledge and 67.5% do not use herbal therapy. There was a significant relationship between the level of health knowledge and the use of herbal therapy. Statistical tests showed that a better level of health knowledge tended to be associated with increased use of herbal therapy, with a significant p-value (p = 0.000), which suggests that health knowledge influences patients' decision to adopt herbal therapy. Education level was significantly associated with herbal therapy use (p = 0.015), where higher education level increased the likelihood of herbal therapy use (Exp(B) = 2.034). This study shows the importance of improving health knowledge and education in influencing the use of herbal therapy among hypertensive patients.

In its implementation, previously designed educational programs often do not run as planned. This encourages the emergence of new policies to overcome the problems that arise, with the aim of realizing equitable and quality education as mandated by law. As a developing country, Indonesia is considered to need to study and adopt an education system that has been proven successful in other countries. One of the countries that can be used as an example in this case is Finland. This study uses a meta-analysis method. The results of the study show that there are a number of aspects of education policy in Finland that can be applied in Indonesia. It is hoped that by improving the quality of education, Indonesia will be able to produce a generation that is competent and able to compete at the global level.    

The rapid development of science and technology has driven increasingly intense global competition, demanding educational institutions to play an active role in developing human resources (HR). Higher education serves as a platform to enhance students' competitiveness, not only through academic education but also through student organizations such as the Student Executive Board (BEM). This organization provides opportunities for students to develop social skills, leadership, and other soft skills that are highly essential in the professional world. STMIK Widuri, as one of the higher education institutions in Indonesia, integrates academic education with students' personal development through organizations like BEM. This study aims to evaluate the level of satisfaction among the academic community regarding activities organized by the BEM of STMIK Widuri during the 2023–2025 period using the Service Quality (SERVQUAL) approach. This method measures service quality based on five key dimensions: reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and tangible aspects. Data were collected through interviews, observations, questionnaires, and literature reviews, with a total of 51 respondents comprising students, lecturers, and staff. The results of the study indicate that all data are valid and reliable based on the Cronbach Alpha test, with values exceeding 0.6. Analysis using SPSS software shows a gap between respondents' perceptions and expectations of the services provided by BEM. These findings are expected to provide insights for the BEM of STMIK Widuri to improve service quality and design programs that better align with the needs of the academic community. Thus, BEM's role as a facilitator of student potential development can be further optimized, supporting the achievement of STMIK Widuri's vision as a globally competitive educational institution.

Excessive caffeine consumption among university students can lead to negative health effects such as sleep disturbances, anxiety, and dependency. To address this issue, a workshop was conducted to introduce infused water as a healthier alternative to caffeinated beverages among students at the Faculty of Public Health, Halu Oleo University. The program aimed to increase awareness about the benefits of infused water in supporting hydration and energy levels naturally, without caffeine's side effects. The workshop utilized three methods: lectures, practical training, and informational leaflets. Lectures provided insights into the adverse effects of excessive caffeine intake and highlighted infused water's benefits, including improved hydration and detoxification. Practical training allowed participants to create infused water using natural ingredients such as lemon and cucumber, fostering hands-on engagement and encouraging immediate application of the knowledge gained. Leaflets were distributed to reinforce the material and served as a take-home guide for participants to share with others. Evaluation of the program showed a significant improvement in students' knowledge about the health risks of caffeine and their interest in adopting infused water as an alternative. Positive feedback indicated that the materials were informative and practical for daily use. Despite challenges such as limited time for practical demonstrations, the workshop successfully achieved its objectives of promoting healthier beverage choices and equipping students with practical skills to support long-term behavior change. This program demonstrates the potential of integrating educational and interactive methods to encourage healthier lifestyle habits, positioning students as agents of change within their communities.

It is hoped that through this approach, the quality of education at SD Negeri Jatiroke 1 can be improved and children's development needs can be met comprehensively

This research aims to identify and analyze the essential instructional tools needed in gas turbine learning for cadets of the Naval Academy's engineering corps using a mixed-method approach with an explanatory sequential design involving 160 respondents, consisting of 120 engineering corps cadets, 15 instructors, and 25 field engineering officers. The research results identified 28 types of gas turbine instructional tools categorized into four groups, with simulators and software showing the highest level of importance (4.65/5.0), and there were significant differences in the perception of importance levels among the three groups of respondents (F(2,157) = 12.45, p < 0.001). The AHP analysis produced a priority framework in four levels, with Level 1 encompassing 5 essential instructional tools: gas turbine simulator (0.742), gas turbine cut-section model (0.698), control system trainer kit (0.681), interactive learning video (0.673), and troubleshooting simulator (0.667). Regression analysis showed that instructional tools significantly contribute to learning effectiveness (R² = 0.742), with the gas turbine simulator as the main predictor (β = 0.384), positively impacting the cognitive aspect with a 26.8% increase in concept understanding (effect size 1.24), the affective aspect with an increase in learning motivation and career interest from 67% to 84%, and the psychomotor aspect with a 33.7% increase in hands-on skills and a 28.5% reduction in troubleshooting time. The resulting priority framework provides strategic guidance for optimizing resources and gradually developing gas turbine learning capabilities in military educational institutions, despite facing major obstacles such as budget constraints, technology compatibility, lack of quality human resources, and limited laboratory infrastructure.
