Abstract

Malaria is a significant public health problem in The Gambia, a country in West Africa with a population of about 2.4 million people. The disease is endemic in the country and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, especially among children under five. Malaria prevention strategies are essential in The Gambia. Although not totally but significantly, several techniques have been implemented in The Gambia to combat the spread of malaria to prevent and control the disease. This study aims to explore and provide an overview of strategies implemented in The Gambia to prevent and manage malaria in children under five. The study was a descriptive study using situational analysis with an extension of the basic guidelines established by WHO to prevent malaria by analyzing the latest developments on the progress made in The Gambia. The Gambia has made significant progress in preventing and controlling malaria through strategies, including insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), indoor residual spraying (IRS), antimalarial treatment, education and awareness, and environmental management. Sustained efforts and investments in these strategies are critical to reducing the population burden of malaria and achieving the goal of malaria elimination.

Abstract

Skin diseases such as scabies continue to pose significant health issues within pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) due to inadequate sanitation and low awareness among students regarding personal higiene. Scabies is highly contagious, transmitted through direct contact and the sharing of personal items. Therefore, there is a need for interventions, specifically educational programs, to enhance knowledge and awareness about sanitation and the prevention of scabies in pesantren. This activity aims to improve students understanding of environmental sanitation, personal higiene, and the prevention and control of scabies through educational outreach activities. This initiative was conducted using outreach and practical training methods for students at Pondok Pesantren Al Amin, Lamongan. Evaluation involved pre-tests and post-tests, comparing the results to measure the increase in participants' knowledge. The results was a noticeable improvement in students' knowledge, with the average score increasing from 84.1% on the pre-test to 91.6% on the post-test concerning personal higiene and environmental sanitation at the pesantren (p-value = 0.000). This educational activity successfully enhanced students' understanding of sanitation and health in the pesantren setting. Further approaches are necessary for the prevention and transmission of scabies.

Abstract

Background: The Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS) is not yet widely embraced by small and medium enterprises (UMKM) in Kelurahan Made, Surabaya. Many business owners are unaware of QRIS’s benefits and methods of use, underscoring the need for effective education to facilitate their transition to a secure digital payment system. Objective: This initiative seeks to promote digital payment standardization among UMKM in Kelurahan Made by introducing QRIS and providing hands-on practice. Additionally, we assist UMKM with the QRIS registration process, empowering them to confidently adopt non-cash payment methods. Method: The program includes engaging socialization, informative counseling, and practical training involving six UMKM, along with personalized support for QRIS registration. Results: We are pleased to report an 85% attendance rate among our targeted participants, all of whom successfully began using QRIS in their transactions. Conclusion: Our educational and coordinated efforts in promoting QRIS have effectively enhanced financial literacy and improved transaction efficiency among UMKM. As QRIS adoption continues to grow, the digital transformation of the payment ecosystem in the kelurahan becomes increasingly attainable.

Abstract

Introduction: ADHD is a common neurodevelopmental condition often managed with stimulant medications such as methylphenidate. While pharmacotherapy remains effective for symptom controlgrowing attention has focused on the role of nutrition in modulating treatment outcomes and overall management of ADHD. However, concerns remain regarding long-term outcomes, adverse effects, and dependence on medication. In recent years, research has increasingly emphasized a more integrative perspective beyond pharmacotherapy, incorporating environmental and nutritional factors to a more comprehensive understanding, including the role of environmental factors, diet, and nutrition. Methods: This case report discusses a 20-year-old female college student with a history of ADHD who presented with behavioral disturbances and sleep deprivation. She had previously shown improvement in focus and academic performance with methylphenidate (CONCERTA), but experienced weight gain as a side effect, motivating her to study nutritional science. Nutritional factors and food–drug interactions appeared to influence both the expression of ADHD symptoms and the tolerability of pharmacotherapy. Discussion: This case highlights individual variability in response to methylphenidate, particularly concerning metabolic effects. The effectiveness and adverse reactions to ADHD medications may be influenced by dietary interactions, suggesting the importance of a personalized treatment approach. A well-balanced diet may enhance cognitive performance and improve pharmacologic tolerability, especially when it includes adequate intake of protein, unsaturated fats, and essential micronutrients. Conclusion: The management of ADHD should consider both pharmacological and nutritional factors. Integrating dietary support into treatment plans may enhance outcomes and reduce side effects, offering a more holistic and individualized model of care.
