Abstract

The increasing integration of digital tools in education necessitates teachers’ proficiency in digital competency to enhance their functional skills, particularly in communication, time management, and problem-solving. This study investigates the influence of digital competency on the functional skills of Islamic Studies teachers in Southern Pakistan. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 450 secondary school teachers via structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted using SPSS to examine relationships among variables. Results revealed a significant positive correlation between digital competency and communication and time management skills, while the impact on problem-solving was present but less pronounced. Informal digital learning and AI tools were also found to moderate and strengthen these relationships. Teachers with higher digital proficiency demonstrated improved classroom and administrative performance. The study underscores the need for targeted professional development and adequate digital infrastructure to support teachers in under-resourced regions. It is recommended that institutions invest in training, peer mentoring, and access to technology to enhance teachers’ capacity in leveraging digital tools for functional effectiveness. These findings provide critical insights for policymakers and education stakeholders aiming to foster teacher readiness in digitally evolving educational environments.

Abstract

West Africa faces escalating climate challenges that threaten socio-economic stability and ecological balance. Traditional mitigation strategies have largely excluded the youth, despite their increasing engagement and innovative capacities. This study explores the potential of youth-led climate initiatives in Sierra Leone, Ghana, and Nigeria, emphasizing the role of scientific collaboration in enhancing their impact. Using a qualitative approach with secondary data from 2020–2024, the research applies thematic analysis framed by the Innovation Ecosystem Model and the co-creation concept within the SDG framework (SDG 13 and SDG 17). Findings show that youth innovations—such as renewable energy projects, climate-smart agriculture, and digital tools—gain greater legitimacy, scale, and policy relevance when connected with academic and institutional partners. However, barriers persist, including limited funding, weak infrastructure, and marginalization in formal governance. The study recommends institutionalizing youth-science partnerships, establishing climate innovation grants, integrating youth in national adaptation plans, enhancing digital infrastructure, and supporting gender-responsive innovation. Strengthening these frameworks is vital to harnessing West Africa’s demographic potential and ensuring sustainable, climate-resilient development.

Abstract

Global environmental and social issues such as climate change, pollution, and poverty remain persistent due to fragmented solutions and limited collaboration. This study aims to explore an ideal framework that integrates innovation with scientific and community-based collaboration to address these pressing challenges. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, utilizing literature review and case analysis of successful sustainability initiatives from different countries. The findings reveal that combining environmentally friendly technologies with active stakeholder collaboration—ranging from scientists to local communities—can produce scalable and sustainable solutions. Case studies highlight the success of renewable energy adoption, community-driven waste management, and reforestation efforts supported by digital platforms and policy integration. Discussions emphasize that while funding and political support are major barriers, leveraging global cooperation and inclusive education can enhance solution uptake. The study recommends fostering inclusive innovation ecosystems, strengthening international networks, and embedding sustainability principles in local development agendas. These efforts are essential to ensure that technological advancements are not only accessible but also culturally and socially embedded to achieve long-term global impact.

Abstract

This article examines the application of the Cultural Approach to Organizations in addressing stunting cases in Indonesia, focusing on five regions with high prevalence: East Nusa Tenggara, West Sulawesi, Papua, West Papua, and Central Kalimantan. Using a qualitative method that integrates literature review, field observations, and interviews reported in prior studies, the research identifies how local cultural beliefs, traditional rituals, and social norms significantly shape child nutrition and health practices. The findings reveal that early introduction of solid foods, gender-based decision-making, and symbolic food rituals often conflict with recommended health guidelines, contributing to persistent stunting. The study highlights the need for culturally grounded interventions, recommending strategies such as community-based education, involvement of religious and community leaders, culturally adapted nutrition programs, improved healthcare logistics, and multisectoral collaboration. By aligning health initiatives with local cultural systems—including shared meanings, symbols, stories, and rituals—interventions are more likely to be accepted and sustained by local communities. This article contributes both theoretically to the development of the Cultural Approach in public health contexts and practically to policy design for culturally appropriate stunting prevention programs. The study recommends a strategic, inclusive framework to reduce stunting rates by integrating cultural understanding into public health communication and implementation.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the immunosuppressant drug methylprednisolone at Gembleb Farma Pharmacy in Trenggalek, East Java, Indonesia. The research was conducted on May 30, 2025, using a descriptive quantitative approach supported by interviews with the responsible pharmacist. Data collection involved daily sales records of methylprednisolone and clinical response outcomes among patients. Each patient typically received five tablets per treatment, and the pharmacy recorded an average daily sale of 250 tablets. Therefore, it was estimated that approximately 50 patients were served per day. From those, 45 patients—equivalent to 90%—experienced favorable clinical responses to methylprednisolone therapy. The cost per tablet was IDR 500, resulting in a total daily cost of IDR 125,000. The calculated Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (CER) per day was IDR 2,777.78 per effectively treated patient. This value remained consistent when scaled to monthly (IDR 3,750,000 for 1,350 effective patients) and annual estimates (IDR 45,625,000 for 16,425 effective patients), yielding the same CER value of IDR 2,777.78. The findings indicate that methylprednisolone provides a stable and predictable cost-effectiveness profile in outpatient pharmacy settings. These results may support decision-making in therapeutic planning, particularly in community pharmacies that aim to deliver effective yet affordable immunosuppressive therapies. Additionally, this cost-efficiency aligns with the goals of rational drug use and sustainable pharmaceutical services at the primary healthcare level.
