Abstract

This study aims to provide an overview of student’s knowledge levels regarding Monkeypox before and after receiving education through social media platforms Instagram and TikTok. Monkeypox is an infectious disease of global concern, making comprehensive understanding crucial, particularly among adolescents who actively use social media as a primary source of information. This research employs a quantitative descriptive design with a survey approach. The sample consists of 120 10th grade students from SMA Negeri 9 BINSUS Manado who participated in Monkeypox education through Instagram and TikTok. Data were collected using pre-test and post-test questionnaires to assess students' knowledge levels before and after the intervention. The results of the knowledge distribution analysis indicate a significant increase in students' knowledge after receiving education via social media. Most students who initially had a low level of knowledge experienced an improvement after being exposed to interactive and visually engaging content on Instagram and TikTok. This improvement highlights the role of social media as an effective health education tool in disseminating information about infectious diseases such as Monkeypox. The findings of this study affirm that social media can serve as a strategic digital health communication platform to enhance adolescent awareness of health issues. Given the accessibility and engaging nature of social media, health information can be disseminated more widely and effectively. Further research is recommended to explore the effectiveness of different content types and social media platforms in supporting digital-based health education initiative.

Abstract

Abstrak:  The degradation of watersheds (DAS) due to critical land is a primary environmental challenge in North Sulawesi, Indonesia, leading to increased flooding, erosion, sedimentation, and disruption of water resources. This study aims to describe the strategy and implementation of Forest and Land Rehabilitation (RHL) programs in the province, with a focus on the priority Tondano Watershed. Using a descriptive qualitative methodology based on secondary data from government reports and relevant literature, this research outlines the comprehensive framework for RHL, from long-term planning (RURHL-DAS) to annual operational plans (RTnRHL). Key activities include professional seedling procurement, extensive community socialization, and on-ground rehabilitation through community forests (hutan rakyat). Implementation data for 2024-2025 shows the rehabilitation of 217.12 hectares, combining seedling provision (37.12 ha) and community forests (180 ha). The findings highlight that a synergistic approach, integrating ecological restoration with socio-economic benefits through agroforestry and community empowerment, is crucial for the success and sustainability of rehabilitation efforts. The study concludes that effective RHL in North Sulawesi requires strong cross-sectoral coordination, systematic planning, and active local community involvement to restore ecological functions and enhance community resilience. .

Abstract

Cases of zoonotic rabies in Manado City throughout 2018 - 2022 amounted to 11 cases.  The highest cases occurred in 2018 with 6 cases, and every year there are cases of Rabies.  Most of these cases occur due to bites from pets, whether dogs or cats.  In the world, this case often affects children. Some cases of bites can cause death due to severe bite wounds and poor wound management. Community Service Program regarding public awareness of Rabies and Rabies vaccination in pets.  This program will carry out socialization on the importance of Rabies vaccination and Rabies injections for dogs and cats in the Sario Tumpaan Village area, Manado City.  This program will carry out socialization on the importance of Rabies vaccination and Rabies injections for dogs and cats in the Sario Tumpaan Village area, Manado City. The method used in this program is by vaccinating pets against Rabies and providing education on the dangers of Rabies and protecting pets against the Rabies virus. The Rabies vaccination program succeeded in inoculating 32 pets, consisting of 28 dogs and 4 cats.  There were 3 dogs that had been vaccinated and 25 dogs had never been vaccinated.  The age of the animals most frequently vaccinated was 9 animals (28%) under 1 year old; and the least number was 7 animals (22%) aged 1 – 2 years.  The results of the Rabies vaccination still do not cover the majority of the pet population in Sario Tumpaan Village, but are enough to protect the surrounding pet groups.  Thus, community protection against the zoonotic disease Rabies is quite high.

Abstract

Agroforestry systems are an innovative approach to land management that harmoniously integrates trees or forests with agricultural crops and livestock, creating a mutually supportive ecosystem. This approach not only increases land productivity but also contributes significantly to global food security, especially amid the challenges of climate change and environmental degradation. In addition, agroforestry plays an important role in biodiversity conservation by preserving natural habitats and preventing soil erosion, while providing economic benefits to farmers through crop diversification. Indonesia, as one of the world's megabiodiversity countries, has a wealth of local species, including various types of tropical trees, medicinal plants, and traditional food sources that have been integrated into agroforestry practices since ancient times. Species such as durian, petai, and various types of hardwood have become an integral part of local agricultural systems, which not only support ecological sustainability but also the culture of indigenous peoples. However, despite this great potential, knowledge about the use of local species in agroforestry in Indonesia is still limited, with many gaps in research that need to be identified to encourage more effective development. This study aims to map research trends, key study focuses, frequently used key species, and knowledge gaps related to the integration of local species in agroforestry systems in Indonesia. By conducting this mapping, this study is expected to reveal the temporal and geographical patterns of agroforestry research, identify under-explored endemic species, and highlight areas such as Java, Sumatra, and Kalimantan that have high potential but have not been fully researched. The SMS method applied involved a systematic and structured search of various leading scientific databases, such as Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, using specific keywords such as “agroforestry Indonesia,” “local species,” and “biodiversity conservation.” This process was followed by rigorous screening based on inclusion-exclusion criteria, which included publications in English and Indonesian from 2000 to the present, as well as a focus on relevant empirical studies or reviews. Data extraction was then conducted for quantitative analysis, such as publication frequency per year and geographical distribution, as well as qualitative analysis to identify key themes and knowledge gaps, such as the lack of studies on the impact of agroforestry on climate change or integration with modern technology. The mapping results from this study are expected to provide strategic guidance for researchers, policymakers, and agroforestry practitioners. These findings can encourage the development of more sustainable programs, such as the promotion of local species in organic certification schemes or the integration of agroforestry into national policies such as the National Biodiversity Action Plan. In addition, these results will help address knowledge gaps, such as the need for further research on the adaptation of local species to the threats of deforestation and urbanization, so that agroforestry can become an effective solution for food security and conservation in Indonesia.
