Abstract

Student nutritional status is a crucial indicator of health and development, particularly regarding adequate nutrition. One effective intervention to enhance nutritional status is providing high-protein snacks. Indonesia's Genius Program aims to improve child nutrition through targeted interventions in select schools nationwide, including 17 schools in Aceh. Quantitative study analyzed the impact of high-protein snacks on student nutritional status in West Aceh elementary schools using secondary data from the 2023 Genius Program. Employing a quantitative design and Wilcoxon statistical analysis, 339 students were categorized into three nutritional status groups based on BMI-for-age z-scores: undernutrition, good nutrition, and overnutrition. Results showed that 14-day high-protein snack provision significantly improved student nutritional status, increasing good nutrition proportions and reducing undernutrition cases. The Genius Program in West Aceh elementary schools (2023) effectively enhanced student nutritional status by reducing undernutrition and increasing good nutrition proportions. Recommendations include extending program duration and expanding sample sizes for future research generalization.

Abstract

Healthy sleep patterns are an important component in maintaining physical, mental, and emotional health. Poor sleep patterns, such as insufficient sleep duration or irregular sleep, have been shown to have significant impacts on various aspects of health, including mental health, blood pressure, risk of chronic disease, and physical balance. This study used a literature study method to analyze various studies covering populations of adolescents, young adults, college students, and the elderly. The results of the analysis showed that poor sleep patterns in adolescents are associated with an increased risk of anxiety and depression. In college students, irregular sleep patterns affect gastrointestinal health and academic performance. Local research shows that lack of sleep contributes to increased blood pressure, while poor sleep patterns in the elderly population increase the risk of falls and fractures. In addition, research using wearable devices revealed that irregular sleep patterns increase the risk of obesity, hypertension, and mental health disorders.

Abstract

Malnutrition remains a critical public health challenge in India, particularly among children under six years of age, pregnant women, and lactating mothers. To combat this issue, the Government of India launched Poshan Abhiyan, a comprehensive nutrition program aimed at eradicating malnutrition through multi-sectoral interventions, behavioral change communication, and improved service delivery. This study evaluates the implementation, challenges, and effectiveness of Poshan Abhiyan in Housing Colony Ompora, Budgam, Jammu & Kashmir, with a special focus on community participation and interdepartmental coordination. A mixed-method approach was used, incorporating primary data from surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions with Anganwadi worker, local beneficiaries, and health officials, alongside secondary data from official reports and government records. The findings indicate that while 62% of respondents were aware of Poshan Abhiyan, only 15% regularly accessed Anganwadi services, highlighting gaps in engagement. Additionally, 5% of children exhibited some degree of malnutrition, emphasizing the need for improved nutritional interventions and monitoring. The study also identifies challenges such as limited community awareness, inadequate interdepartmental coordination, and logistical issues in nutritional supplement distribution. To enhance program effectiveness, recommendations include strengthening awareness campaigns, fostering local participation, ensuring timely service delivery, and improving digital monitoring tools. This research underscores the importance of a collaborative approach involving local communities, government departments, and health workers to ensure the successful implementation of Poshan Abhiyan. Strengthening these efforts will play a pivotal role in achieving the long-term goal of a malnutrition-free India.

Abstract

A healthy diet plays an important role in supporting students’ cognitive performance and concentration in learning. This article discusses the effects of proper nutrition, such as omega-3 fatty acids, iron, B-complex vitamins, and antioxidants, on brain function, memory, and focus. These nutrients help maintain energy stability, improve focus, and reduce mental fatigue and stress that often interfere with learning. Conversely, a diet rich in sugar, processed foods, and saturated fats can have a negative impact on concentration and academic performance. Students who consume nutritious foods show improved academic performance and better mental health. Therefore, maintaining a healthy diet is essential to supporting cognitive function and achieving optimal academic performance.

Abstract

The prohibition of eating and drinking stands in Islam not only related to adab, but also holds profound wisdom that includes aspects of health, simplicity, and spirituality. This article discusses the wisdom contained in the recommendation to eat and drink while sitting based on the views of Islam. One of the main lessons is the importance of maintaining manners in every action as a reflection of the faith of a Muslim. In addition, the habit of eating and drinking calmly while sitting trains modesty, discipline, and increases gratitude to Allah SWT. In terms of health, this habit helps maintain a better digestive process. Thus, following the sunnah of the Prophet PBUH in terms of eating and drinking not only provides spiritual benefits, but also physical benefits. This study confirms that the standing ban on eating and drinking in Islam has a holistic positive impact, covering the physical and spiritual well-being of Muslims.

Abstract

Hemianopsia is a visual impairment characterized by the loss of half of the visual field in one or both eyes. This condition can be temporary or permanent. Monocular temporal hemianopia is one of them, namely visual field abnormalities in one eye in the temporal part, this abnormality is located in the occipital and temporal cortex. Disorders in this area can be caused by ischemic conditions. This case is rarely reported. This article presents a case study of a 56-year-old male patient with a history of chronic hypertension who came to the emergency unit with sudden loss of visual field on the right side of the eye, the patient had a history of ischemic stroke 1 year ago and did not leave any residual symptoms. Initial examination showed blood pressure of 190/110 mmHg accompanied by severe headache. CT scan showed recurrent ischemia in the left occipital and temporal lobes. The main focus of initial treatment is to restore cerebral blood flow through the administration of neuroprotective agents and antiplatelet therapy, which aims to optimize cerebral perfusion.
