Effective communication is a key competency for medical professionals, but traditional classroom-based methods in Indonesia face challenges such as limited practice, geographical barriers, and insufficient exposure to diverse patient scenarios. Mobile-assisted learning (MAL) offers a promising solution to enhance medical communication training outside traditional settings. This study investigates the effectiveness of MAL interventions in developing communication skills among Indonesian medical students and healthcare professionals. A mixed-methods approach was used, involving a quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-assessments of communication competence among 180 participants from three Indonesian medical schools. The MAL intervention included a mobile app with video demonstrations, interactive case scenarios, peer feedback, and microlearning modules. Quantitative data showed a significant improvement in communication competence (mean increase of 23.4%, p<0.001), with notable gains in information gathering (28%), relationship building (26%), and patient education (21%). The mobile platform saw high engagement (average of 4.3 sessions/week) and 87% module completion. Qualitative data revealed increased confidence in consultations, improved cultural sensitivity, and better time management. Challenges included inconsistent internet access, varying digital literacy, and resistance from traditional educators. MAL shows potential for improving medical communication in Indonesia, offering flexible, accessible training. Successful implementation requires addressing infrastructure issues, integrating MAL into existing curricula, and training faculty. This study adds to the growing evidence supporting technology-enhanced medical education in resource-limited settings.

This study examines the stock market reaction to the Christmas and New Year holidays by analyzing abnormal return and trading volume activity for companies consistently listed in the LQ45 Index during 2021–2023. Using a quantitative causal approach and an event study design, the research observes market behavior within a 10 day estimation window and a 10 8day event window surrounding the holiday period. The findings show that abnormal return exhibits limited but notable reactions, with a significant decline observed before the holiday, indicating that investors tend to reduce risk exposure prior to market closure. After the holiday, significant movements still appear, but they remain negative, suggesting that investor activity and confidence have not fully recovered. In contrast, trading volume activity does not show significant differences either before or after the holiday, implying that changes in prices are influenced more by sentiment and price adjustments rather than shifts in trading intensity. These results indicate that the Indonesian capital market demonstrates characteristics of a semi-strong form efficiency, where public information such as national holidays is largely anticipated and absorbed by the market.

Social media has become an integral part of adolescents' lives, offering quick access to information, including reproductive health information. However, exposure to inaccurate information can pose risks. This study aims to analyze the relationship between social media use and adolescent reproductive health knowledge and behavior. A quantitative research method with a cross-sectional approach and chi-square test was used to examine the relationship between the independent variable (social media use) and the dependent variable (reproductive health knowledge and behavior). The study population was all 10th grade students (23 students) and 11th grade students (30 students) at SMK Tamansiswa Boja Kendal. A sample of 53 respondents was taken using an accidental sampling technique, consisting of students who happened to be present and willing to participate during the study. The results showed that the majority of respondents (56.6%) had low social media usage intensity. The majority of respondents also had a high level of knowledge (75.5%) about reproductive health, with an average score of 8.13 and a median of 10. Most respondents (66.0%) demonstrated positive reproductive health behavior. However, the chi-square test results showed no significant relationship between social media use and levels of knowledge (p = 0.673) or reproductive health behavior (p = 0.495). Although social media did not show a significant direct relationship to adolescent reproductive health knowledge and behavior in the context of this study, the high levels of knowledge and positive behaviors found indicate that existing educational programs, both in schools and from other sources, have been effective. Further research with larger samples and wider geographic variation is needed to understand other factors that influence adolescent health behavior.

The availability of prompt technical support from the company’s IT team minimized potential negative impacts and ensured system continuity. Beyond improving corporate financial governance, SAP also offered valuable experiential learning for interns, bridging theoretical knowledge acquired in academic settings with real-world industrial applications. Overall, the study concludes that SAP functions not only as a strategic enterprise tool for the company but also as an effective educational medium that supports the success of the MBKM internship program.

Traditional salted fish is a widely consumed food product in Indonesia due to its high shelf life and distinctive flavor. However, the production process, which is generally carried out conventionally and openly, has the potential to cause contamination by pathogenic microbes, which can endanger consumer health. This study aims to identify and analyze the presence of pathogenic microorganisms in traditional salted fish products through a microbiological approach. Salted fish samples were taken from various traditional markets and analyzed using microbial culture methods, biochemical identification, and molecular confirmation for pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella spp., Vibrio spp., Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus. The results showed that most contained pathogenic bacteria exceeding the threshold set by SNI and BPOM, indicating weak sanitation and hygiene control in the processing process. These findings emphasize the importance of implementing hygiene standards and quality control in the home industry of salted fish processing. Furthermore, environmental factors such as sea air quality, drying methods, the use of unclean containers, and minimal knowledge of business actors regarding hygiene practices are the main causes of contamination. In some locations, salted fish is dried directly on the ground or on unsterilized surfaces, increasing the risk of exposure to dust, insects, and microorganisms. The study also found that labeling and date information were not available on most products, making it difficult for consumers to assess their safety. As a preventative measure, educating producers and providing training on Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOP) is crucial. Collaboration between the Health Office, the Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOM), and local governments is also recommended to conduct regular inspections and provide food safety certification facilities for small businesses.

Awareness of environmental health is an important factor in maintaining community welfare, especially in developing urban areas. The city of Medan, as one of the major cities in Indonesia, still faces various environmental problems such as poor sanitation, garbage accumulation, and water pollution, which have an impact on public health. This study aims to analyze the factors that affect the level of public awareness of environmental health in the city of Medan. This study uses a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected from 100 randomly selected respondents using a structured questionnaire, which measures people's level of awareness of environmental health and various factors that influence it, such as education level, media exposure, and economic status. Data analysis was carried out univariately, bivariately with Chi-square test, and multivariate using logistic regression to determine the relationship between independent variables and the level of public awareness. The results of the study show that factors such as education level, media exposure, and economic status have a significant influence on the level of public awareness. People with higher levels of education, better media exposure, and better economic status tend to have higher awareness of environmental health issues. The implications of these findings suggest that improving environmental education and more effective dissemination of information can be an important effort in raising public awareness. Community-based programs that focus on education and strengthening environmental information can be a strategic step in overcoming environmental problems in urban areas. The results of this research are expected to be a reference for the formulation of more effective policies and programs in increasing environmental awareness in urban communities.
