Abstract

This literature review explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in disaster management, focusing on its applications and challenges. Disaster management includes mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery steps. AI technologies can enhance these steps, leading to better disaster management. In the mitigation phase, AI can forecast hazards, assess risks, and strengthen infrastructure resilience. In the preparedness phase, AI-powered Early Warning Systems (EWS) provide timely alerts and notifications, enabling proactive measures to minimize the impact of disasters. During disaster response, AI supports event mapping and damage assessment for effective decision-making. In the recovery phase, AI facilitates impact assessment, resource allocation, and the development of post-event recovery plans. The review also presents a case study on the application of AI in flood management in Saudi Arabia, emphasizing the need for advanced technologies in flood prevention, early warning systems, and response strategies. However, challenges such as data availability, data incompleteness, data quality, and the lack of policies and databases in certain regions, including Saudi Arabia, hinder the effective implementation of AI in disaster management. Further research and development efforts are necessary to harness the full potential of AI in disaster management.

Abstract

Background: Adolescents aged 10–19 experience rapid development, making them vulnerable to nutrition and mental health issues; to address this, the RAN PIJAR program was implemented in Bogor using the Meaningful Youth Participation (MYP) approach through Health Heroes Facilitators to enhance their health knowledge. Methods: This quasi-experimental study used a one-group pre-test and post-test design involving 335 adolescents aged 15–18 years from nine senior high schools and one city-level scout organization in Bogor City. Health education sessions applied participatory methods such as Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), Human-Centered Design (HCD), and audiovisual materials. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used due to non-normal data distribution. Results: After the intervention, the proportion of respondents with good knowledge on mental health and nutrition increased significantly from 50.1% with poor knowledge to 80.9% with good knowledge. A statistically significant improvement was observed (p = 0.000), with median rising from 50 (pre-test) to 90 (post-test). Conclusions: The intervention using the MYP approach effectively improved adolescent knowledge on mental health and balanced nutrition. The participatory and peer-led design created a relatable and engaging environment for adolescents. Future health education programs should adopt a sustainable, gender-equitable, and media-diverse approach and be integrated with school-based health initiatives such as School Health Units (UKS) and healthy canteens.

Abstract

Background: Microplastics are extremely small plastic particles that are now widely found in aquatic environments and have entered the human food chain. This contamination raises serious concerns, as microplastics have the potential to carry toxic chemicals and cause various health disorders. Methods: This study employed a literature review method guided by the PRISMA model. Data sources were obtained from scientific articles published between 2020 and 2025 through databases such as Google Scholar, Garuda Journal, and PubMed. Results: Findings indicate that microplastics have been detected in fish, shellfish, shrimp, and even human feces. The dominant types include fibers, fragments, films, and foams, containing polymers such as PTFE, polycarbonate, and nylon. Reported health effects include digestive disorders, chronic inflammation, hematological disturbances (elevated leukocyte counts, decreased hemoglobin levels), and hormonal imbalances due to plastic additives acting as endocrine disruptors. Long-term exposure has been associated with damage to the liver, kidneys, and nervous system, as well as an increased risk of chronic diseases and cancer. Conclusions: Microplastics are not merely an environmental issue but also a tangible threat to human health. Scientific evidence indicates potential disruptions to the digestive, immune, hormonal, and metabolic systems resulting from repeated exposure.

Abstract

Background: Banyumas Regency has experienced consecutive increases in cervical cancer cases in 2019, 2020, and 2021, with 213, 305, and 589 cases respectively. This is one reason the Banyumas government is implementing cervical cancer control measures, including HPV immunization and early detection (screening) through Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) or Pap smears. However, the overall achievement rate for VIA screening across community health centers (CHC) in Banyumas Regency remains below target, including at the Wangon Health Center. Wangon Health Center has implemented various cervical cancer programs involving multiple stakeholders. Yet, the achievement of its early detection program often falls short of the target (10% of all Women of Reproductive Age annually), and support from cross-sectoral stakeholders remains insufficient as they do not provide recommendations or follow-up on screening program outcomes. Therefore, a stakeholder analysis is needed to determine the extent of stakeholder roles in optimizing program success. Methods: This research was conducted in the working area of Wangon I Health Center from October to December 2024 using a qualitative design and a case study approach. Informants were selected via purposive and snowball sampling. The study involved 6 primary informants: the head of the health center, the Maternal and Child Health (KIA) program officer, the immunization program officer, a community health volunteer, a community member, and 2 supporting informants: The Family Planning Field Worker (PLKB) and the Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) representative. Data analysis utilized thematic analysis. Results: Involved stakeholders have distinct roles. These were categorized into three groups: key stakeholders as policy or program makers, primary stakeholders as implementers, targets, and main information disseminators for the program, and secondary stakeholders as supporters and program information conduits. Based on power and interest, they were classified into: high power-high interest (key players) as routine policymakers; high power-low interest (keep satisfied) as parties with high power but low direct interest in the program; low power-high interest (keep informed) as implementers and disseminators of cervical cancer program information/education; and low power-low interest (minimal effort) as program targets. Conclusions: Stakeholders in the early detection of cervical cancer have varying levels of involvement and influence, necessitating optimization of each stakeholder's role. Based on the findings, the health center, as the program holder, needs to enhance collaboration with cross-sectoral partners through educational activities and screening participant recruitment in schools (with the education sector) and can conduct educational campaigns by distributing posters, banners, or leaflets to every village in the Wangon I Health Center area.
