Abstract

Hypertension is one of the non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which is a leading cause of mortality and is often referred to as the silent killer. Based on the results of screening for risk factors of priority NCDs in Kabupaten Karawang (Posbindu PTM and Puskesmas), the incidence of hypertension ranks first among five other diseases: diabetes mellitus, asthma, COPD, heart disease, and obesity. Therefore, the purpose of this study—to analyze factors related to the incidence of hypertension in the Kabupaten Karawang area—is outlined in Analysis of Factors Related to the Incidence of Hypertension in Karawang Regency. This research employed quantitative analysis with a cross-sectional approach. From a total population of 14,239 hypertensive patients at the Tirtajaya Health Center, Rengasdengklok Health Center, and Teluk Jambe Health Center, the Slovin formula yielded a sample of 120 hypertensive patients selected via proportional random sampling. Primary data were collected using validated and reliable instruments: the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) for dietary patterns and the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) questionnaire for physical activity. Data analysis included univariate, bivariate, and multivariate techniques using logistic regression. The most dominant and significant variables (p < 0.05) related to hypertension incidence in the Kabupaten Karawang area were physical activity, meat consumption patterns, and alcohol consumption. This study is expected to provide analytical results that inform program development, particularly for hypertension control, thereby contributing to improved public health and strategic efforts in managing hypertension in Kabupaten Karawang.

Abstract

The implementation of the Regional Public Service Agency Financial Management Pattern (PPK-BLUD) in community health centers aims to improve the flexibility and effectiveness of service management. However, its impact on overall managerial performance has not been widely evaluated. This study aims to analyze the Regional Public Service Agency (BLUD) system in relation to budget management at community health centers in Cilegon City and to provide evidence-based policy recommendations. This study is qualitative, using in-depth interviews with informants at nine community health centers. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, exploratory questionnaires, and document reviews. Data validity was strengthened through manual triangulation of sources and methods and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. Most health centers demonstrated financial efficiency and effectiveness above 90%. However, there were no new service innovations, service quality remained in the “good” category, and human resource training averaged below 30% of the total healthcare workforce. A gap exists between actual and ideal performance in BLUD implementation. To address this, it is necessary to strengthen performance-based financial management, improve a service culture oriented toward public satisfaction, develop service innovations, and plan human resource training based on all employees' needs. BLUD implementation has shown progress in financial efficiency but has not yet been optimal in terms of new service innovations and human resource development. The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) approach can serve as a strategic evaluative tool to drive managerial transformation at health centers.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus ranks as the third leading cause of death in Indonesia, accounting for 6.7% of all fatalities, with the country holding the seventh position globally in diabetes prevalence at 8.5%. In Asia, 16.2% of the population has type 2 diabetes mellitus, while Indonesia's prevalence reached 6.7% in 2020. The study's main objectives are to identify the most influential factors and examine the relationship between dietary patterns, physical activity, and blood sugar control. This observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted at three community health centers in Karawang Regency—Medangasem, Rengasdengklok, and Karawang—selected through random sampling and involving 111 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Data were collected using validated questionnaires and analyzed using chi-square tests and multiple logistic regression. Results demonstrated significant associations between physical activity (p < 0.001), fat intake (p = 0.004), and carbohydrate intake (p = 0.015) with blood sugar control, while protein intake, vitamin C intake, and vitamin A intake showed no significant associations. Physical activity emerged as the most dominant factor influencing blood sugar control (p < 0.001, OR = 5.636, 95% CI: 2.230–14.245). These findings underscore the critical role of physical activity and dietary management in controlling blood glucose levels among patients with type 2 diabetes. It is recommended that individuals with type 2 diabetes pay closer attention to their dietary intake to align with nutritional guidelines, maintain controlled blood glucose levels, and engage in regular physical activity of at least 30 minutes daily.

Abstract

Stunting is a depiction of chronic malnutrition during the growth and development period from the beginning of life. Many factors can cause stunting in toddlers. This literature study aims to identify the factors influencing the occurrence of stunting in toddlers. A literature scoping review was conducted using three databases to search for relevant articles: PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Wiley Online Library. The stages and flow of research article selection followed the PRISMA Flowchart (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). To assess article quality, the researchers used a checklist from the Joanna Briggs Institute. The search yielded 5,571 articles matching the specified keywords; 3,569 duplicates were removed, leaving 2,002 articles selected according to the literature study's objectives. Of these, 46 articles were eligible, and 9 met the review criteria. The review identified several sub-themes on factors affecting the occurrence of stunting in toddlers: a) mother's knowledge; b) maternal education; c) economic status; d) history of birth weight (BBL); e) maternal body mass index (BMI); f) breastfeeding history. Insufficient energy and protein intake, lack of maternal knowledge, low maternal education, low family income, and maternal BMI status are relevant factors for stunting in toddlers. Efforts to prevent stunting in toddlers can include communication, information, and education; health promotion or counseling; and workshops.

Abstract

Research Aims: This study aims to examine the influence of stock liquidity and ownership concentration on corporate cash holdings, including how ownership concentration moderates the relationship between liquidity and cash holdings in the context of an emerging market. Design/methodology/approach: The study employs a panel data approach using fixed-effects regression to analyze firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2019 to 2023. The sample is selected through purposive sampling to firms included in the Kompas100 Index. The amount of data used is 281 observation data. Research Findings: The findings show that higher stock liquidity, particularly turnover ratio, is significantly associated with lower corporate cash holdings, supporting the liquidity discipline hypothesis. Ownership concentration, measured by dominant shareholders’ equity stakes, positively and significantly affects cash holdings, consistent with principal–principal agency problems. However, the interaction term between stock liquidity and ownership concentration is negative and statistically significant, indicating that ownership concentration moderates the relationship by strengthening the negative association between stock liquidity and corporate cash holdings. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This study provides empirical evidence that, in the context of an emerging market like Indonesia, ownership concentration may play a role in reinforcing the disciplinary effect of stock liquidity on corporate cash holdings.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the nutritional needs of school children in relation to the Free Nutritious Eating (MBG) policy in Indonesia through a systematic literature review approach. The study was conducted on 26 scientific articles from various countries selected using the PRISMA 2020 method, with the inclusion criteria set include: (1) articles in the last ten years (2015–2025), (2) articles that explicitly discuss the nutritional needs of elementary to secondary school children, (3) articles that examine the contribution of school food programs to the fulfillment of children's nutrition,  and (4) studies that are available in full text and written in English. The results show that school meals consistently make a significant contribution to meeting the needs of energy, protein, iron, calcium, fat, fiber and vitamin D, as well as positively impacting children's cognitive function and reducing the consumption of ultra-processed foods, especially in low-socioeconomic groups. In addition, it was found that the success of the program was greatly influenced by the diversity of menus, children's preferences, physical activity, and public policy support. This research makes an important contribution in formulating evidence-based MBG policies that take into account actual nutritional needs, socio-cultural contexts, and behavioral dynamics of children. In conclusion, MBG has great potential as a national strategy to improve the nutritional status and equal access to food for school children, but its successful implementation requires a multidimensional approach and advanced local studies.

Abstract

The study examines the complex geopolitical dynamics that could lead to the potential outbreak of a Third World War. In the contemporary global landscape, characterized by shifts in power structures and emerging alliances, the study identifies key factors contributing to geopolitical tensions, including territorial disputes, resource scarcity, and the rise of nationalism. A qualitative approach, which involves a case study of current geopolitical conflicts, is used, focusing on important areas such as Eastern Europe, the South China Sea, the Middle East, and the recent tensions between the United States and Iran, as well as the Cambodia-Thailand border conflict. The analysis reveals that while diplomatic efforts and international organizations play an important role in conflict resolution, underlying competition and historical grievances remain significant threats to global stability. In addition, the study highlights how the rise of nationalism and regional conflicts, combined with climate change and resource competition, exacerbate these tensions. These findings underscore the importance of proactive diplomacy and collaborative strategies to reduce the risk of large-scale conflicts. This paper aims to contribute to the understanding of the contemporary geopolitical landscape and offer insights into potential pathways to prevent a Third World War, emphasizing the need for comprehensive international cooperation and conflict prevention mechanisms.

Abstract

Indonesian is an important subject in Elementary School because it supports the development of students' literacy skills, especially in reading and writing texts. However, in practice, many students have difficulty in understanding and composing texts due to monotonous learning methods and minimal use of concrete media. This study aims to describe the process of using image media in text-based Indonesian language learning and analyze its impact on the ability to understand and compose texts in grade III students of SDI Nurul Yaqin. The method used is qualitative descriptive research with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, documentation, and analysis of student assignment results. The results of the study show that the use of image media, such as story illustrations, mind maps, comics, real photos, and infographics, can improve students' understanding of the contents of the text, strengthen the narrative and descriptive structures, and encourage creativity and learning motivation. The application of image media also helps simplify abstract concepts and create a more interactive learning atmosphere. Thus, image media has proven effective in improving elementary school students' literacy skills, especially in text-based Indonesian language learning. The findings contribute to literacy education theory by demonstrating the mediating role of visual representation in developing metalinguistic awareness and textual competence among young learners. Practical implications include evidence-based guidance for teachers on selecting, sequencing, and integrating picture media strategically within text-based instruction to maximize comprehension gains and compositional fluency.

Abstract

The correctional system constitutes an important part of the criminal justice system in Indonesia. The Correctional Institution System is an institution within the criminal justice subsystem that serves as a rehabilitation center for inmates and juvenile offenders in Indonesia. This research aims to critically analyze current policies addressing prison overcapacity and to propose an integrated crime prevention strategy as a fundamental solution, thereby shifting from a retributive to a restorative and rehabilitative paradigm. This study employs a qualitative research method with a normative legal approach, presented descriptively. The normative legal approach entails legal research conducted by examining library materials or secondary data as the basis for analysis through a search of regulations and literature related to the issues under study. The results indicate that addressing overcrowding in prisons cannot rely solely on physical construction or the granting of remissions; rather, it requires a systemic transformation of perspectives, policies, and the national criminal legal system to render it more fair, integrative, and humane. Finally, addressing overcrowding is not solely the responsibility of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights but a cross-sectoral national agenda. All ministries and agencies must align their vision to recognize that criminal justice serves not merely as a tool for state retribution but to foster sustainable social order and justice. Therefore, a progressive, participatory, and systemic legal approach is necessary to prevent the overcrowding crisis from perpetuating a cycle of failed policies.
