Abstract

Environmental degradation is a global issue that has a significant impact on human health and welfare. This research aims to analyze in depth various forms of environmental degradation that harm human physical, mental, and social well-being. This study uses secondary data analysis methods from various related research studies as well as an interdisciplinary approach to digging deeper into the relationship between damaged environments and disease prevalence, as well as deterioration in quality of life. Environmental degradation, which includes air pollution, habitat destruction, water pollution, and climate change, is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity today. Through a multidisciplinary approach combining data from epidemiological, ecological, and public health research, this study explores the relationship between declining environmental quality and the increasing prevalence of various diseases and their impact on quality of life. It was found that long-term exposure to harmful pollutants increases the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, while ecosystem damage significantly affects food security and nutrition. Furthermore, climate change is increasing the occurrence of extreme weather phenomena, which not only pose physical risks but also psychological stress. This article emphasizes the importance of effective policies and interventions to reduce environmental impacts on human health in promoting greater environmental sustainability for a healthier future.

Abstract

The Poso conflict, which occurred from the late 1990s to the early 2000s, had a significant social impact on the local community. This study aims to explore the social integration process that took place post-conflict in Poso, Central Sulawesi, focusing on the social harmony created within the plural society. A qualitative approach was used to delve into the experiences, views, and social practices of people from different ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds in their efforts to rebuild communal life. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with various parties, including community leaders, religious leaders, and ordinary citizens who directly experienced the conflict and reconciliation process. The findings show that post-conflict social harmony in Poso was achieved through several key steps, including inter-community dialogue, joint activities involving various community groups, and the active role of religious leaders and local leaders in promoting peace. Additionally, support from the government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the form of rehabilitation and reconciliation programs strengthened social integration efforts. This study found that although there were challenges in the reconciliation process, such as distrust and past trauma, consistent efforts to build communication and cooperation between groups successfully created a more harmonious environment. This study provides important insights into the significance of participatory and inclusive approaches in addressing social conflicts and building sustainable integration in plural societies. In conclusion, social harmony in Poso can serve as a model for other regions experiencing similar conflicts, emphasizing the importance of dialogue, cooperation, and the active role of all parties in achieving sustainable peace.

Abstract

The birth of a child causes a fundamental challenge to the existing structure of family interaction regarding the care of the newborn. When a baby is first born, the mother may feel confused about how to care for him. Even routine tasks such as changing diapers and bathing can make a mother anxious, especially if she has never spent time on things related to baby care before. To develop independent personal abilities requires self-confidence and a sense of calm as an experienced parent for first-time mothers (primiparous). The research objective to be achieved is to analyze the factors that influence the independence of primiparous mothers in caring for babies at PMB Devi Andriani, Lhokseumawe City. This type of research uses a descriptive analytical survey with a cross sectional design. The population in this study was 56 people, while the sample was 56 Primipara mothers, using total sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out using univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis. Based on the results of the chi-square test, it is known that the independence of primiparous mothers is related to maternal knowledge p = 0.000, culture = 0.002, trust p = 0.001, maternal age p = 0.001, family support p = 0.003, meaning there is a relationship between maternal knowledge, culture and trust. Maternal age, and family support with the independence of primiparous mothers. From the results of the multivariate analysis, it is known that the variable that has the most dominant influence in this study is the Mother's Knowledge variable with an OR value of 21,483. There is the influence of maternal knowledge, culture, beliefs, maternal age and family support and the most influential variable is maternal knowledge. The suggestion is that it is hoped that this research can be used as reference material for hospitals, especially to increase the competency of midwives so that they can maximize mothers' knowledge during postpartum visits so that they can independently care for their babies in the future.
