Abstract

Adolescent mental health is a growing public health concern, particularly in school environments where students experience significant academic and social pressures. Limited mental health literacy among adolescents may increase vulnerability to stress, anxiety, and emotional problems, which can adversely affect learning achievement and psychological well-being. This study presents a community-based empowerment approach by utilizing leaflet media as an educational intervention to improve mental health literacy among adolescents. The objective of this study was to analyze the mental health situation of adolescents and to evaluate the effectiveness of leaflet-based mental health education as a community empowerment strategy at SMP Negeri 1 Tapalang. A quasi-experimental method with a one-group pre-test and post-test design was applied. The participants consisted of 30 junior high school students. The intervention involved structured mental health education delivered through leaflet media. Data were collected using a validated knowledge questionnaire and analyzed using statistical software, including the Shapiro–Wilk test for normality and the paired sample t-test for comparison. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ mental health knowledge following the intervention. The mean pre-test score increased from 56.40 to 78.90 in the post-test, with a statistically significant result (p < 0.05). These results indicate that leaflet-based education is an effective and practical medium for enhancing adolescent mental health literacy and supporting community empowerment initiatives within the school setting.

Abstract

The WHO reports that the global prevalence of adolescent obesity has exceeded 20%. This condition emphasizes the importance of promotional interventions through nutrition education in Islamic schools that are prone to unbalanced diets and limited physical activity. This community service activity was carried out at Insan Cendekia Syekh Yusuf High School on September 19, 2025, involving 49 students in grades XI and XII. The activity methods included a pre-test, interactive nutrition education, provision of healthy food, and a post-test. The results of the paired t-test showed a significant effect of nutrition education on increasing student knowledge, with the average score increasing from 17.47 to 24.82 (p < 0.001). These findings reinforce the importance of nutrition education in Islamic schools as a preventive strategy. Thus, this community service activity proved to be effective in improving adolescents' understanding of obesity and is recommended to be implemented continuously with the support of schools to shape healthy living behaviors.

Abstract

Stunting is one of the global health issues that remains a major challenge, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia. Although its prevalence has decreased slightly from 21.6% in 2022 to 21.5% in 2023, this figure is still far from the national target of 14%. Stunting is caused by chronic malnutrition and recurrent infections, especially during the first 1,000 days of life (HPK). One of the factors contributing to stunting is maternal parenting, particularly in terms of nutritional fulfillment, psychosocial stimulation, and child care. This study aims to review the relationship between maternal parenting styles and the incidence of stunting through a literature review approach. The method used is a qualitative descriptive study by examining 10 quantitative research articles with a cross-sectional design selected from Google Scholar and PubMed based on inclusion criteria. The results show that most articles state that there is a significant relationship between maternal parenting and the incidence of stunting. Democratic and responsive parenting contributes to the prevention of stunting, while inappropriate parenting increases the risk. Therefore, strengthening parenting education is an important strategy in efforts to reduce stunting in Indonesia.
Operational Performance of A Controlled Landfill in Bantaeng, Indonesia: Leachate Management, Odor Nuisance, and Institutional Constraints Amansyah, Munawir; Rahmah, Nur; Az-Ziqra, Aura Annisza; Akmal, Nurfaizah; Alfasyari, Arief; Khaqul, Andi

Abstract

Municipal solid waste management studies increasingly emphasize landfill upgrading and environmental safeguards, yet limited empirical evidence remains on how controlled landfill operations perform under district-level resource constraints and fluctuating waste inflow, creating a gap in operationally grounded evaluations. This study assesses the operational system and environmental management of TPA Batu Terang, the main final disposal facility in Bantaeng Regency, Indonesia, focusing on daily waste inflow dynamics, leachate and landfill gas management, nuisance impacts, social dimensions, and institutional capacity. A qualitative descriptive case study design was applied using field observations and an in-depth semi-structured interview with the Head of the Environmental Agency. Reported waste inflow averaged 27.49 tons/day, periodically increasing to 30–32 tons/day due to routine clean-up programs and increased food and packaging residuals linked to the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) initiative. The facility implements controlled landfill practices with periodic soil cover, supported by a weighbridge and computerized recording that enables semi-annual reporting and improves accountability. Environmental management is strengthened by a leachate collection system and staged multi-pond treatment (intake–facultative–maturation–biofilter), described as operating within capacity. However, methane utilization remains limited and odor persists as the most salient community concern, typically addressed through reactive covering. Key constraints include aging heavy equipment, limited budgets, human resource needs, and suboptimal source separation. Findings imply that phased improvements prioritizing routine cover discipline, equipment maintenance financing, incremental gas control and monitoring, and upstream waste diversion are essential to reduce impacts and support transition toward an integrated final processing facility (TPAS).

Abstract

Recent hospitality waste studies increasingly promote circular organic-waste treatment, yet empirical descriptions of how hotels operationalize low-cost bioconversion pathways (eco-enzyme fermentation and black soldier fly/maggot production) in day-to-day routines remain limited, particularly in Eastern Indonesia. This study aimed to describe the management of hotel organic waste into eco-enzyme and maggot feed at Mercure Makassar (Makassar City, Indonesia) using a descriptive qualitative design. Data were collected through non-participant observations of kitchen waste flows, in-depth interviews with key hotel personnel (food production, stewarding, housekeeping, engineering, and management), and document review (SOPs, training materials, and relevant local/national regulations). Data were analyzed thematically with iterative coding and triangulation across sources. The findings indicate that the system hinges on (i) source segregation at food-preparation and post-consumption points, (ii) stabilization steps to reduce contamination and odor before processing, (iii) standardized eco-enzyme fermentation using organic residues with sugar/molasses and water ratios commonly reported in the literature (e.g., 1:3:10 or 10:3:1 by weight/volume) and a multi-month maturation period, and (iv) BSF-based bioconversion that rapidly reduces restaurant waste while producing larval biomass and frass as by-products. Implementation is shaped by staff literacy, space constraints, pest-control requirements, and alignment with municipal and national waste-management mandates. Overall, this case demonstrates a feasible, practice-oriented circular pathway for hotels, with implications for SOP development, staff training, and measurable reduction of landfill-bound organic waste in Makassar.
