Abstract

The andaliman (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium), also known locally as toba-toba, is a species endemic to North Sumatra, Indonesia, possessing a significant diversity of phytochemical compounds. This study aims to conduct a systematic review of the phytochemical content of andaliman and evaluate its potential for developing contextual biology education, specifically the topic of chemotaxonomy at the secondary education level. The research employed a systematic literature review protocol based on a search of national and international journals published between 2015 and early 2025. The results indicate significant phytochemical variation in andaliman (especially essential oils, alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and terpenoids) in highland populations, supporting the concept of chemotaxonomy. Although chemotaxonomy is globally established, its integration into science education in Indonesia, particularly in teaching plant classification using local phytochemical data, remains limited. This gap highlights the potential for developing biology teaching materials that integrate taxonomic concepts with local wisdom, which can substantially enhance scientific literacy and foster an appreciation for Indonesia's biodiversity.

Abstract

The integration of science learning and character education in elementary schools has increasingly attracted scholarly attention; however, the field lacks a comprehensive synthesis mapping its intellectual development, dominant themes, and methodological trajectories. This study aims to systematically examine publication trends, thematic structures, research designs, and emerging gaps in science–character integration at the elementary education level. A hybrid Systematic Literature Review (SLR) combined with bibliometric analysis was conducted on 51 Scopus-indexed articles published between 1997 and 2025. Article selection followed the PRISMA protocol, while co-occurrence and co-authorship analyses were performed using VOSviewer to identify conceptual and collaboration patterns. The findings demonstrate a marked growth in publications after 2018, with Southeast Asia as the primary contributor. Three major thematic clusters emerged: inquiry-based and literacy-oriented science learning, character value development emphasizing responsibility and religiosity, and integrative contextual pedagogical approaches. Quantitative experimental designs dominated the literature, primarily examining impacts on students’ motivation, conceptual understanding, and character formation, whereas longitudinal and mixed-method studies remain scarce. The review highlights the need for interdisciplinary and culturally responsive pedagogical frameworks capable of integrating scientific competencies and character development. This study provides an evidence-based reference for researchers and educators seeking to advance holistic science education in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study aims to identify these factors in the context of health science education, particularly in the applied health sciences and maternal and child health. The study adopts a quantitative approach using a cross-sectional design. The study population includes postpartum mothers at Harapan Mulia Hospital in Bekasi (83 post-cesarean section mothers), Pondokgede District General Hospital (35 post-cesarean section mothers), and TPMB Lia Kamalia (35 normal postpartum mothers). Research instruments included structured questionnaires, observations of breastfeeding techniques, and interviews. Bivariate analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test, with a significance level of p <0.05. The results revealed that most mothers had good knowledge (62.9%), good nutrition (62.7%), were not at risk (73.3%), had a complete ANC history (66.7%), received good family support (60%), had good healthcare support (69.8%), adopted a healthy lifestyle (77.4%), practiced Early Breastfeeding Initiation (94.3%), and used correct breastfeeding techniques (85.7%). All these factors were significantly associated with breastfeeding success (p value < 0.05). Multivariate analysis using multiple logistic regression indicated that the dominant factors contributing to breastfeeding success were good breastfeeding technique (OR = 20.1; p = 0.004), Early Breastfeeding Initiation (EBI) (OR = 9.56; p = 0.045), and healthcare support (OR = 8.15; p = 0.001). This study underscores the need for comprehensive education and promotion of exclusive breastfeeding, emphasizing its significance in health science education. A holistic approach, including family-based interventions and strengthening maternal health literacy in the context of applied health sciences, is essential for enhancing breastfeeding success, particularly for mothers post-cesarean section. This research contributes to the improvement of maternal and child health services and the advancement of health science education in the context of midwifery services

Abstract

The success of early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) is influenced by maternal childbirth experience, which significantly impacts postpartum mothers' ability to implement appropriate breastfeeding practices. Primiparous mothers are often at a greater disadvantage due to their limited prior experience and lack of understanding about the importance of early breastfeeding initiation. This study aims to examine the relationship between maternal childbirth experience and the success of EIBF, with a focus on the physiological aspects of lactation and its implications for health science education. Quantitative design with an analytical cross-sectional approach was employed. Primary data were collected using questionnaires, and statistical analyses were conducted with univariate and bivariate tests using the Chi-Square method in SPSS version 26.0. The results showed that the majority of respondents were multiparous (56.7%, n=17), while 43.3% (n=13) were primiparous. The Chi-Square test yielded a p-value of 0.027 (<0.05), indicating a significant association between maternal childbirth experience and the success of EIBF. These findings suggest that primiparous mothers face more challenges in initiating breastfeeding early due to a lack of prior experience. However, participation in antenatal care (ANC) and pregnancy classes can improve knowledge and skills, thus enhancing the likelihood of successful EIBF implementation. This research contributes to the field of health science education by highlighting the importance of understanding lactation physiology and increasing postpartum mothers' scientific literacy, which can be applied in both health practice and education.

Abstract

Anxiety among pregnant women in the third trimester (TM III) often increases as delivery approaches, potentially affecting their childbirth experience and maternal-neonatal outcomes. Education on childbirth preparation through simple media, such as flipcharts, has the potential to reduce anxiety by enhancing knowledge and self-efficacy. Well-prepared childbirth can impact maternal-neonatal safety, reduce anxiety, and influence the choice of a safe birth setting. The use of appropriate educational media (educational videos, booklets/leaflets, flipcharts, and KIA books) can enhance knowledge and readiness among third-trimester pregnant women. However, local evidence from practice in Independent Midwifery Practice. Childbirth preparation is a crucial aspect of enhancing both the physical and psychological readiness of third-trimester pregnant women. The right educational media can serve as an effective tool to increase knowledge, reduce anxiety, and aid decision-making in preparation for childbirth. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of media as an educational tool for childbirth preparation among third-trimester pregnant women in Independent Midwifery Practice Places (TPMB) in Jakarta and Bekasi in 2025. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest approach was employed. The sample consisted of 30 third-trimester pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected using validated knowledge and anxiety questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted using paired t-tests and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests to compare pre- and post-intervention results. The findings indicated a significant increase in knowledge (p < 0.05) and a reduction in anxiety levels among most respondents after the media intervention. The media proved to be an effective tool for childbirth education among third-trimester pregnant women. It is recommended that healthcare providers, particularly midwives, optimally utilize educational media in antenatal care

Abstract

The increasing prevalence and incidence of tuberculosis each year highlights the need to use Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) in conjunction with multi-drug treatment to help suppress the transmission of tuberculosis within families. Lauric acid, the main component of VCO, transforms into monolaurin in the digestive tract. Monolaurin is a substance known to enhance the body's immune system. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Multi-drug Treatment and VCO treatment on Tuberculosis incidence in household contacts associated with cost effective analysis (CEA). This study employs a quasi-experimental method, a form of quantitative research akin to a true experiment but does not involve full randomisation of subjects or groups. Subjects were divided into two groups. The treatment group consisted of new tuberculosis patients who received a combination of multi-drug treatment and virgin coconut oil (VCO). Their household contacts were tested to determine whether they were positive for acid-fast bacilli at the initial stage and again at the second month of the study. The control group included new tuberculosis patients who received the Directly Observed Treatment Short Course (DOTS) or the multi-drug treatment (MDT) package only. Similar to the treatment group, their household contacts were also tested. After two months of treatment for tuberculosis among individuals in the same household, a follow-up showed significant differences between the intervention and control groups. In the intervention group, all 81 participants (100%) tested negative for acid-fast bacilli in the second month. In contrast, the control group had 3 participants (4.3%) who tested positive for acid-fast bacilli. The effectiveness of tuberculosis drug therapy is assessed by examining whether patients test negative for acid-fast bacilli during their second examination. The results indicate that patients receiving a combination of multi-drug treatment and VCO intervention have a higher rate of negative testing for acid-fast bacilli compared to those receiving only multi-drug treatment.

Abstract

This study investigates the quantitative characteristics of several generations of self-pollinated lines and the F2 population, as well as the correlation between these characteristics and leaf angle, harvest age, and yield in corn plants. The experiment was carried out in Gumantar village, North Lombok, from May to September 2024, and was designed using a Complete Randomized Block Design with treatments including the F2 population, 15 S1 lines, 15 S2 lines, 15 S3 lines, and 15 S4 lines. The study examined 14 quantitative characteristics. The experimental data were analyzed using analysis of variance. Further testing was conducted using the DMRT test at a 5% level. Correlations between traits were calculated using the Pearson correlation test. The research results demonstrate that the quantitative characteristics of several generations of selfing lines and the F2 population differ, except for ASI and cob diameter. The selfing from the first through fourth generations exhibit lower values compared to the F2 population, with the exceptions of anthesis-tasseling age, silk emergence, and harvest age. Most traits are associated with the medium harvest age category. The yield is correlated with most quantitative characters in the medium to strong category. The selection of plants to be selfed to form the S5 lines and increase yields should use plant height as a selection criterion.

Abstract

Sleep is a vital physiological process essential for overall health and productivity. Among university employees, poor sleep quality has been linked to reduced job performance, increased risk of mental health disorders, and heightened susceptibility to occupational burnout. These risks are particularly salient in academic environments, where high administrative demands and blurred work-life boundaries are increasingly common. This study evaluated sleep quality among employees at Institut Teknologi Sumatera (ITERA) while investigating key demographic predictors. Employing a cross-sectional quantitative design, data were collected from 300 administrative and academic staff using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Initially, a chi-square goodness-of-fit test was conducted to assess the associations among categorical variables, and a generalized linear model (GLM) was subsequently utilized to identify factors influencing sleep quality, with a significance threshold of p < 0.05. The results revealed that approximately 75.67% of employees exhibited good sleep quality. Notably, significant sex differences were observed: females demonstrated a higher prevalence of poor sleep quality compared to males. Furthermore, age emerged as a critical predictor, with employees in the 41–50 age group reporting better sleep quality than those in the 21–30 and 31–40 age groups. These findings underscore the importance of considering demographic factors when developing targeted interventions aimed at improving sleep health in organizational settings.

Abstract

Cervical cancer is the leading cause of death among women in Indonesia, with 36,964 new cases reported in 2022. Brachytherapy is a key component in treating advanced-stage cervical cancer, where dose optimization is critical to maximize the target dose (HRCTV) and minimize exposure to organs at risk. Graphical Optimization (GrO) and Inverse Planning (IP) techniques are commonly used, but comparative studies using Co-60 sources remain limited. Previous studies have largely used Ir‑192, so this study explores the comparison of GrO versus IP using Co‑60, which has not been widely studied in Indonesia. Co‑60 was chosen because it provides a dose distribution comparable to Ir‑192, has a longer half‑life reducing the frequency of source replacements and maintenance costs and has been reported to shorten patient treatment time by approximately 10%. This study compared the dose distribution of both techniques in 30 brachytherapy patients treated with a Co-60 source at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah Hospital. Data were analyzed using the Sagiplan 2.2.1 Treatment Planning System (TPS) following the TG-43 protocol. Evaluations included D90 HRCTV, COIN, DHI, bladder D2cc, and rectum D2cc based on ICRU Report 89 recommendations. MANOVA results (SPSS 29.0; significance < 0.05) showed that GrO’s D90 HRCTV (7.239 Gy ± 0.134 Gy) was significantly higher (sig = 0.006) than IP (7.155 Gy ± 0.093 Gy). GrO’s DHI (0.352 ± 0.043) was also superior (sig = 0.030), while COIN, bladder D2cc, and rectum D2cc showed no significant differences. Overall dose distribution for GrO differed significantly from IP (p = 0.011), though all parameters met ICRU standards. Conclusion: GrO excels in target coverage and homogeneity, while IP is equivalent in OAR protection. Both techniques are dosimetrically feasible, but GrO is more adaptive for complex anatomies despite requiring longer planning time.
