Abstract

Workers involved in revitalization projects are vulnerable to reduced productivity due to physically demanding tasks, time constraints, and challenging environmental conditions such as heat, noise, and long hours. These factors can lead to fatigue, stress, metabolic disorders, and poor nutritional intake, which in turn reduce endurance and focus. This study examines the influence of energy intake and nutritional status on work productivity among workers at the Merdeka Square Revitalization Project in Medan City. A quantitative cross-sectional design was used, involving 77 respondents. Data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate logistic regression tests. After controlling for confounders, both energy intake and nutritional status significantly affected work productivity (p < 0.05). Although excess energy intake was not statistically significant (Exp(B) = 1.319; 95% CI: 0.375–4.642), it still posed a 1.3 times greater risk of reduced productivity compared to adequate intake. In contrast, insufficient energy intake was significant (p = 0.030; Exp(B) = 5.375), with a 5.4 times greater risk of lower productivity. Nutritional status, both overnutrition (p = 0.009; Exp(B) = 10.039) and undernutrition (p = 0.002; Exp(B) = 14.898), significantly affected productivity. The Nagelkerke R² value of 0.354 indicates that these variables explain 35.4% of the variance in work productivity.

Abstract

Adolescence is a critical developmental stage marked by identity formation and heightened susceptibility to peer influence. This study examined the relationship between peer relationships and juvenile delinquency among 96 adolescents aged 15–21 years, selected through accidental sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed with Pearson correlation and simple linear regression. Results indicated that peer relationships significantly influenced juvenile delinquency (p = 0.003, r = -0.301), with higher-quality peer relationships associated with lower levels of delinquent behavior. These findings highlight the importance of school-based interventions and peer mentoring programs to promote supportive peer environments and reduce deviant behaviors among adolescents.

Abstract

Adolescents in the digital era face opportunities and challenges in maintaining healthy reproductive behavior due to easy access to information and social media influence. This quantitative cross-sectional study surveyed 320 high school students aged 15–19 in Surabaya, Indonesia, using stratified random sampling. Data collected from April–July 2025 via self-administered questionnaires were analyzed with descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, correlations, and logistic regression. The findings showed that 62.5% of adolescents had good reproductive behavior, which was significantly associated with high knowledge (73.3% vs. 36.8%, p < 0.001), positive attitudes (71.4% vs. 45.5%, p = 0.001), strong parental guidance (80.6% vs. 39.3%, p < 0.001), supportive peer influence (73.7% vs. 46.2%, p = 0.002), and controlled digital media exposure (80.0% vs. 41.4%, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis identified strong parental guidance (AOR = 3.65; 95% CI: 2.12–6.28) and controlled digital media exposure (AOR = 3.21; 95% CI: 1.85–5.58) as the strongest predictors, followed by high knowledge (AOR = 2.45), positive attitudes (AOR = 1.78), and supportive peers (AOR = 1.92). In conclusion, adolescent reproductive behavior is shaped by a combination of individual, family, peer, and digital factors, with parental guidance and digital literacy emerging as the most critical protective elements. Strengthening family involvement and promoting responsible digital engagement are recommended to foster healthy adolescent reproductive behavior.

Abstract

Uterine leiomyoma is the most prevalent benign neoplasm of the female reproductive tract during the reproductive years; however, its precise etiology remains incompletely understood. Age at menarche and parity have been proposed as potential risk factors, although previous studies have reported inconsistent findings. This study aimed to evaluate the association between age at menarche and parity with the occurrence of uterine leiomyoma. This research employed a case-control design, in which uterine leiomyoma constituted the case group and adenomyosis served as the control group, conducted at PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital Surakarta. The study included 113 participants, comprising 73 cases of uterine leiomyoma and 40 cases of adenomyosis as controls, identified through histopathological records from 2023. Data were assessed using Chi-Square and logistic regression analyses. The findings revealed that most respondents experienced menarche at a normal age and were either primiparous or multiparous. Statistical testing demonstrated a significant association between age at menarche (p = 0.007; OR = 1.65, 95% CI = 1.414–1.939) and the incidence of uterine leiomyoma, whereas parity was not significantly associated (p = 0.384; OR = 1.509, 95% CI = 0.596–3.825). Future studies are recommended to include more balanced sample group proportions and additional risk factors to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of uterine leiomyoma etiology.
