Mental health remains a critical priority, as individuals with good mental well-being tend to experience a higher quality of life. However, mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and psychological distress are increasingly prevalent among university students. One contributing factor to these issues is the excessive use of social media, driven by rapid technological advancements. This study aims to empirically examine the relationship between social media addiction and mental health among university students. A quantitative approach was employed, with the population consisting of students from University X. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, involving a total of 111 students. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s product-moment correlation to test the research hypothesis. The results indicated a significant negative relationship between social media addiction and students’ mental health (r = -0.407; p < 0.01). These findings suggest that the higher the level of social media addiction, the lower the level of mental health among students, and vice versa.

The low activity of students in biology learning is the main challenge in efforts to improve the quality of science learning in secondary schools. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the application of the Project Based Learning learning model in increasing student activity and learning outcomes in respiratory system materials at SMA Negeri 2 Langowan. This research is a Class Action Research that is carried out in two cycles, each of which includes stages of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The subjects of the study were 13 students in grade XI. The instruments used include student activity observation sheets and the final test of the cycle based on description questions. The results showed that in the first cycle, only 38.46% of students achieved learning completeness with an average score of 60. However, after improving the strategy in cycle II through active mentoring, learning motivation, and strengthening group work, completeness increased to 92.30% with an average score of 84.69. These findings indicate that the Project Based Learning learning model is able to build student activeness through contextual, collaborative, and hands-on experience-based learning. The increase in activeness is reflected not only in test results, but also in students' active participation in discussions, group presentations, and project completion. The implications of this study show that Project Based Learning is feasible to be implemented as an innovative learning strategy to improve the quality of student interaction and engagement in biology learning on an ongoing basis.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the naming of business places in Umakatahan. The theory used in analyzing naming is Chaer’s theory (2009). This study uses a qualitative research model.

The data in this study are presented in a descriptive form or informal method. Based on the result of this study it was found that from 5 data on the naming of bussines places in Umakatahan, there were grammaticalmeanings. In addition, the naming process that occurs in 5 data on the naming of business premises in Umakatahan, produces 5 data based on inventors or makers, data based on new names, data based on place of origin, data based on uniqueness and new naming. So, it can be concluded that the naming of business places in Umakatahan is dominated by the process of the inventor or maker because most of the business places use the name of the owner or maker.

Not many studies have examined differences in anxiety in facing the world of work based on gender, specifically in vocational students. Previous research has conducted several studies on anxiety in vocational students. The purpose of this study is to determine the differences in the level of anxiety of vocational students towards the world of work based on their gender. The number of samples in this study was 233 students, of which 173 were male and 60 were female. This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach, with a disproportionate stratified random sampling technique and anxiety scale used to collect data. Data processing in this study uses a normality test and homogeneity test, and data analysis using a T-test by applying IBM SPSS Statistics software version 25. The results of data analysis in the T-test show a significance level value of .737(>.05), which means that there is no difference in the level of anxiety in vocational school students in facing the world of work based on gender, which means H0 is accepted, and H1 is rejected. The results of our study indicate that gender-based anxiety in the world of work in men emphasizes the abilities they have while women emphasize feelings.

This study aims to analyze the effect of work motivation and compensation on employee performance at Percetakan Sewelas Triwulan. The research employs a quantitative approach with an associative design, involving 32 employees selected through a saturation sampling method. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results indicate that work motivation has a significant positive effect on employee performance, with a regression coefficient of 0.65 (p < 0.05). Additionally, compensation has a significant influence on employee performance, with a regression coefficient of 0.58 (p < 0.05). Simultaneously, both motivation and compensation have a significant impact on employee performance, with an F-value of 8.45 (p < 0.05). The implications of this study underscore the importance of management enhancing work motivation through non-financial rewards and ensuring fairness in compensation, thereby creating a productive work environment that supports optimal employee performance.

The study investigated how Cola nitida affects the sweat concentrations of sodium (Na), potassium (K), and chloride (Cl) in male and female subjects. Sixty healthy participants (30 males, 30 females) aged 18–28 years, with varying body weights (underweight, normal weight, overweight), were selected. Subjects were exposed to three conditions: normal chamber temperature (27°C, 70% RH), raised temperature (37°C, 90% RH), and exercise at normal temperature (27°C, 70% RH) while riding a bicycle ergometer at 750J/min for 20 minutes. Prior to the experiment, 0.5g/kg body weight of Cola nitida was consumed, followed by a 90-minute rest. Sweat samples were collected to measure ion concentrations. Results showed no significant changes in sodium (Na) concentrations between males and females under normal and raised temperature conditions. However, under exercise conditions, there was a significant increase in sweat Na in female underweight subjects compared to males. Regarding chloride (Cl), there was no significant difference between males and females under all conditions. For potassium (K), significant increases were observed in the sweat of female underweight subjects compared to males in normal, raised temperature, and exercise conditions. Conversely, decreases in sweat potassium were noted in female normal weight subjects under normal conditions and overweight subjects under raised temperature and exercise conditions compared to males.

The increasing incidence of leprosy in the community causes individuals with leprosy to experience psychological stress. This pressure can come from the individual's internal perceptions such as feeling insecure, feeling embarrassed, and feeling afraid of being shunned. Apart from that, the psychological pressure experienced by individuals can originate from external factors such as discrimination from society, labeling, and isolation in social life. The method used in preparing this article is the PRISMA method with database searches including Google Scholar, Digital Reference Garba, and Science Direct. There are 15 articles selected based on the criteria, namely published in 2018-2023, can be accessed in full text, articles in Indonesian and English, and are qualitative research using the keywords stigma, leprosy sufferers, and community.

Indonesia is one of the countries that is the lungs of the world. This country has extraordinary environmental potential, starting from natural resource conditions (biological and non-biological diversity), geographical conditions, and demographic conditions that other countries do not have. The gifts given by Allah SWT to all His creatures, especially humans, must be used well or wisely. Utilizing these gifts to meet the needs of living creatures must be accompanied by great responsibility in protecting and managing them so that their sustainability is maintained (sustainability). Ironically, if we look at the current facts, the situation is the opposite. Our various daily activities, from small to large scale, individually and collectively (society), contribute to air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, land degradation, loss of biodiversity and germplasm, resource and energy crises, and the peak is global warming. The behavior of throwing rubbish and waste carelessly, wasting energy, using vehicles with high emissions, and various other bad activities among the majority of Indonesian people is still very worrying. This is still done by many people who are highly educated or not, rich or poor, young and old, and men and women.

The residents of RW 05 Jomblang, Candisari District, Semarang City, are increasingly concerned about the impact of plastic waste on the environment. As a solution, used plastic bottles are being utilized as planting media in hydroponic techniques by MBKM students from various universities, such as UPN "Veteran" East Java, Padjadjaran University, and Semarang State University. This utilization of plastic bottles reduces waste while supporting sustainable agriculture by minimizing the use of land and water. The program raises community awareness about eco-friendly urban farming, focusing on water efficiency and quick harvesting processes. Education includes basic hydroponic techniques and their implementation using used bottles, which has been met with active community participation. Evaluations show tangible results, such as pakcoy plants being distributed to participants. Discussions with the RW 05 Chairman reveal significant benefits for the community in utilizing used items for agriculture. This program strengthens the community and suggests further development to enhance local food security and environmental awareness, as well as motivate the adoption of modern agricultural technologies
