Abstract

This study looked into how social media use and outside influences affected young people's mental health in Sukabumi, Indonesia. 400 young individuals between the ages of 18 and 25 participated in a cross-sectional survey in which information on social media use, environmental exposure, and mental health outcomes (such as depression, anxiety, and stress) was gathered. According to the findings, increased social media use was linked to greater levels of stress, anxiety, and depression, but exposure to environmental elements including noise, air pollution, and green open spaces was found to be a significant predictor of mental health outcomes. In particular, increased exposure to green space was linked to lower levels of sadness, anxiety, and stress whereas higher exposure to air and noise pollution was linked to higher levels of these emotions. Gender was also found to be a significant predictor, with women reporting higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress than men. These findings highlight the importance of considering the role of social media use, environmental factors, and gender in understanding mental health outcomes among young people in Sukabumi. Interventions aimed at promoting mental health among young people should consider social media use, environmental factors, and gender-related factors. Limitations of the study include a cross-sectional design and limited generalizations to other populations.

Abstract

The aquaculture sector has come to be recognized as a key engine of both economic growth and seafood production worldwide. Shrimp farming in particular, and aquaculture in general, are major contributors to local livelihoods and food security in Sumbawa, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. However, as this industry expands, it will have to contend with issues pertaining to productivity, sustainability of the environment, and the long-term viability of the fishing industry. Innovations in shrimp breeding have been implemented in the area to solve these problems. The various effects of these advances on aquaculture productivity and the long-term viability of Sumbawa's fishing enterprises are examined in this qualitative investigation. The results show how innovation, productivity, sustainability, and the particular socio-environmental setting of the area interact in a complicated way. Shrimp growth and disease resistance have increased thanks to selective breeding techniques, but genetic manipulation is still up for discussion. Sustainable feed methods are a viable way to lessen the impact on the environment. Effective disease management, together with market access and adherence to international quality standards, are critical components of a sustainable fisheries enterprise. This study promotes sustainable aquaculture methods and the long-term success of Sumbawa's fishing enterprises by offering useful insights and suggestions.

Abstract

The construction industry's significant environmental impact has prompted a shift towards environmentally friendly building materials to mitigate environmental degradation while maintaining structural stability. This quantitative study investigates the effect of using environmentally friendly building materials on the stability of tall building structures in Jakarta, Indonesia. Employing a mixed-methods approach, survey data collection, and structural analysis techniques were utilized to examine the relationship between building material choices and structural stability. Statistical analyses revealed a strong preference for environmentally friendly materials among participants, with sustainable timber and eco-friendly concrete substitutes receiving high ratings. Moreover, participants expressed confidence in the structural integrity of tall buildings constructed using these materials. Correlation and regression analyses further demonstrated significant positive relationships between preferences for environmentally friendly building materials, perceived structural stability, and environmental sustainability practices. The findings underscore the potential of environmentally friendly building materials to enhance both structural stability and environmental sustainability in tall building construction.

The findings indicate a significant positive relationship between Sharia investment and financial performance, as well as between government policy and financial performance. This suggests that both Sharia-compliant financial practices and supportive government policies play crucial roles in enhancing the financial outcomes of MSMEs in the region. The results underscore the importance of adopting Sharia investment strategies and fostering government policies that support the growth and sustainability of MSMEs.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of social support, job stress, and job satisfaction on employee mental health within Jakarta's creative industries. Employing a quantitative research design, data were collected from 200 employees using a Likert scale questionnaire. The relationships between the variables were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3). The findings indicate that all hypotheses are positive and significant, with job satisfaction emerging as the strongest predictor of employee mental health. Interestingly, job stress, while typically associated with negative outcomes, also showed a positive relationship with mental health in this context, suggesting a complex interaction where stress may act as a motivator. Social support, though slightly less influential, was found to significantly enhance mental well-being by providing a protective buffer against the demands of creative work. These results underscore the importance of fostering job satisfaction, managing job stress, and promoting a supportive work environment to improve mental health outcomes in Jakarta's creative industries.
