Abstract

Background : The critical period for children occurs between the ages of 6-24 months. This age group is a period of crucial growth and potential failure to thrive, especially in twins. Stimulation activities such as singing, storytelling, and playing can optimize children's development. Objective: This study aims to describe nursing care by providing early childhood stimulation to twins. Methods: This community services was conducted using a case study approach, observing changes in children's behavior during early childhood stimulation interventions. Results: After providing developmental stimuli such as singing, playing, and storytelling for 3 days, it was found that the child's development had changed. Children who initially did not respond now responded, those who were initially passive were now able to follow commands, and there was improvement in the pronunciation of words. Conclusion: This study provides evidence to support the importance of stimulating children's development from an early age. Community nurses are advised to educate mothers in their work area on how to stimulate growth and development to prevent developmental delays or failure to thrive in twins.

Abstract

The large proportion of adolescent population leads teenagers into groups at risk and vulnerable to health problems, namely smoking, alcohol consumption, drug consumption, depression or risk of suicide, emotional, physical problems, school problems, and sexual behavior. Based on this case, health promotion needs to be carried out through counseling or health education regarding efforts to improve adolescents’ self-resilience in facing adolescent problems.  This research was conducted by providing training in the form of pre-test, role play, and post-test. The research subjects consisted of 19 adolescents with the characteristics of the respondents consisted of age, occupation, knowledge, and attitude. The research result showed that knowledge of the adolescents after receiving counseling and training regarding to efforts to improve adolescent self-resilience in facing the risks of teenager sexual behavior increased to 5.26% (from 26.31% pre-test results and post-test results to 31.57 %). Meanwhile, the attitude towardfamily awareness increased to 10.52% from the results of the pre-test which were not in the good category, and the results of the post-test to 10.52%). The conclusion from the research results was that there was an improvement in knowledge and attitude, both before and after counseling and training actions which were carried out regarding the efforts to improve adolescent self-resilience in facing the Risks of teenage Sexual Behavior.

Abstract

Introduction: Situation analysis obtained in RW 05 Kertamaya Bogor Selatan are that there are 7 health cadres, but only 5 cadres are active. The results of the interview showed that the low role of these cadres was caused by a combination of various factors, ranging from limited knowledge, minimal educational facilities, lack of support, low community involvement, time problems, to low motivation. Objective: Optimizing education through booklets in increasing the role of cadres in processing local food ingredients for stunted children. Method: Problem solving is carried out through several steps. The first stage of preparation consists of initial preparation and planning. The preparation stage is by conducting a needs analysis by reviewing and collecting information through literature studies of related journals, conducting situation analysis through interview reviews, observations, and distributing questionnaires to cadres, and finding partner problems. While the planning stage is determining problem solutions, determining strategies, and planning activities; the second stage of implementation is conducting a knowledge test on participants before education is carried out, implementing the optimization of education through booklets in increasing the role of cadres in processing local food ingredients for stunted children, and conducting a post-test for participants after education. This second stage ends with an analysis of the process and test results. Conclusion: The results of the Community Service showed an increase in the role of cadres in processing local food ingredients for stunted children after community service was carried out, with the majority having a good role of 66.7%. The booklet helps cadres convey information more effectively, increases community understanding, and encourages local food independence.

Abstract

Introduction: The paper examines the threat of legitimizing child marriage by creating legal loopholes in the Child Marriage Restraint Act of 2017 in Bangladesh. The Act preserves the minimum legal age of marriage (18 years old in the case of girls, and 21 years old in the case of boys) as well as the exigency of punishment of child marriage, but rather controversially allows exceptions in unspecified special circumstances, with the consent of the parents and the court. Method: Based on secondary sources, policy analysis, and reports of NGOs, the present paper demonstrates that instead of preventing child marriage, the 2017 Act conforms to patriarchal values and increases gender inequality. Result: This paper stresses the view that the ambiguity has unintentionally opened among the forms of legitimization of underage marriage, especially with regard to girls who already encounter systemic disadvantages in health, education, and control. The absence of regulatory definitions, enforcement methods, and defense of the informants has resulted in a free-for-all situation in the rural areas. Conclusion: The paper suggests legislative revisions, increased monitoring, and community-based interventions so that legal loopholes can be sealed to prevent the early marriage of girls.

Abstract

The Changloon Transformation Project (CTP) aims to transform a rural Malaysian town into a knowledge society over ten years through a multi-pillar approach focusing on waste, tourism, knowledge, and social transformation. With limited resources and diverse stakeholders, prioritizing initiatives is a key challenge. This paper presents a Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) framework tailored to rank initiatives under the CTP. Criteria include alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), feasibility, impact, community involvement, scalability, and risk. A hypothetical decision matrix and sensitivity analysis demonstrate the framework’s practical application. Results provide actionable insights for decision-makers and highlight the framework’s potential for broader application in resource-constrained settings.

Abstract

Industrialization and modernization remain central pillars in achieving sustained economic growth and productive employment as outlined in SDGs Targets 8 and 9. This study aims to map global research developments on these themes by employing a bibliometric approach using the Bibliometrix R package and the Biblioshiny web interface. A dataset of peer-reviewed articles indexed in Scopus was systematically analyzed to identify publication trends, thematic evolution, co-occurrence patterns, and influential sources shaping the discourse. The findings reveal a consistent increase in scholarly attention over the last decade, driven by global concerns regarding sustainable industry transitions, technological upgrading, and inclusive labor development. Keyword clustering highlights three dominant thematic concentrations: sustainable industrial policy, technological modernization, and human-capital-driven development. The thematic evolution map further shows a shift from traditional industrial growth narratives toward sustainability-oriented modernization frameworks. The study contributes by providing an integrated overview of the intellectual structure of the field and offering evidence-based insights for policymakers, researchers, and development practitioners. Strengthening industrial modernization strategies informed by bibliometric intelligence can accelerate national progress toward achieving SDGs 8 and 9.

Abstract

Background: The campus napping policy has emerged as an innovative initiative that can positively impact the well-being and productivity of the academic community. With increasing academic pressure, greater attention has been given to maintaining balance between work and mental health. Napping has proven to be an effective method for improving productivity and supporting both physical and mental recovery. This research aims to explore how napping policies influence academic productivity and mental health, as well as the challenges that arise in their implementation on campus. Methods: This study employed in-depth interviews with experts in health and university management to gain a comprehensive understanding of napping policies and their effects on the academic community. Results: The findings revealed that naps have a significant positive effect on productivity, particularly among lecturers and students experiencing high academic demands. Six main themes emerged, illustrating how napping policies enhance well-being and academic performance. Discussion: The main challenge in implementing this policy lies in achieving acceptance from the academic community and university management. Successful implementation requires adjustments to existing regulations and a shift in mindset regarding working hours and well-being. Napping also offers physical health benefits, such as lowering blood pressure and improving cognitive capacity, which further strengthen the rationale for policy adoption. Conclusion: The campus napping policy has proven to provide substantial benefits by improving academic productivity and the physical and mental health of the academic community. To ensure success, implementation must be flexible, data-driven, and supported by updates in human resource management. Integrating napping policies into campus health programs will create a healthier, more innovative, and productive academic environment
