Abstract

Background: Mental health literacy (MHL) is crucial for adolescents to recognize, manage, and prevent mental health issues. In Indonesia, increasing adolescent mental health challenges and limited culturally adapted MHL tools highlight the need for a validated Mental Health Literacy Scale (MHLS) in Bahasa Indonesia. Objective: This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the MHLS for Indonesian adolescents to assess their mental health literacy accurately. Methods: The study followed a three-stage validation process: translation, cultural adaptation, and content validation with a sample of 435 adolescents. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted to assess construct validity, and Cronbach’s alpha was calculated for reliability. Results: The translated MHLS showed high content validity (CVI ≥ 0.87) and good construct validity with fit indices (RMSEA = 0.046, CFI = 0.956). Internal consistency was high (Cronbach's alpha = 0.907), indicating reliability. Conclusion: The Bahasa Indonesia version of MHLS is a valid and reliable tool for assessing mental health literacy in Indonesian adolescents, supporting culturally relevant interventions.

Abstract

Food waste, particularly from fruits and vegetables, represents a major environmental, economic, and social challenge worldwide. Fruit and vegetable peels, seeds, and trimmings are typically discarded, despite being rich in essential nutrients, dietary fibers, bioactive compounds, and minerals. Recent research highlights their potential as renewable resources for nutraceuticals, bioenergy, edible films, and antimicrobial agents. In Malaysia, the rapid expansion of the agro-industrial sector has increased fruit waste generation, especially from highly consumed products such as mango, watermelon, and rambutan. This paper reviews the proximate composition of common fruit and vegetable wastes and their potential applications in addressing food security, antimicrobial resistance, and sustainable waste management. The role of computational bioinformatics, molecular docking, and nanotechnology in enhancing the utilization of bioactive compounds from food waste is also discussed. The study underscores the importance of integrating proximate analysis with innovative biotechnological strategies to reduce municipal solid waste while contributing to public health and sustainable development goals.
