Bold risk behavior and involvement in commercial sex among adolescents: Systematic review
Background: The prevalence of adolescent involvement in prostitution has grown in the millennial era, often driven by lifestyle demands, economic pressures, and environmental influences. Despite various preventive and repressive government efforts, the phenomenon persists, affecting adolescents\u27 physical and mental health and posing significant risks to future generations.Objectives: This study aims to explore the factors contributing to risky behaviors and adolescent involvement in commercial sex, highlighting the roles of external environments, media, alcohol, education, and financial pressures.Methods: A systematic review was conducted using the PEOs framework, analyzing articles from databases like PubMed. Inclusion criteria included original peer-reviewed articles published between 2014 and 2024 in English or Indonesian, focusing on risky behaviors and adolescent involvement in commercial sex. Exclusion criteria eliminated grey literature and non-research-based articles. Eleven articles were rigorously selected for critical appraisal and numerical assessment.Results: Findings reveal that family dysfunction, peer pressure, and media influences significantly shape adolescent behavior. Alcohol consumption impairs decision-making, increasing vulnerability to exploitation. Educational attainment correlates with risk, as adolescents with limited education are more prone to engage in risky behaviors. Financial pressures further drive adolescents toward commercial sex as a perceived solution to economic challenges.Conclusions: Adolescent involvement in commercial sex results from a confluence of external and internal factors, emphasizing the need for holistic interventions. Addressing family dynamics, enhancing educational opportunities, monitoring media exposure, and providing economic support can mitigate these risks. Comprehensive, multidisciplinary strategies are critical to protecting adolescent well-being and reducing the prevalence of risky behavior
Contributing factors to effective self-management in type 2 diabetes mellitus
Background: Self-management plays a pivotal role in the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Active patient participation is crucial for achieving optimal glycemic control, preventing complications, and enhancing overall quality of life in the context of long-term, sustainable disease management.Objectives: This study aims to analyze the factors influencing self-management in patients with T2DM, to provide a foundation for developing more effective interventions that support patients in independently managing their condition.Methods: This study employed a literature review method by analyzing articles published within the last five years from the PubMed, ScienceDirect, and ProQuest databases. The search keywords used were “Self-management, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, and Factors influencing.†Out of 1,168 identified articles, 22 articles were selected based on relevant inclusion criteria, with a primary focus on self-management and its influencing factors in T2DM patients.Results: Self-management in patients with T2DM is influenced by both internal and external factors as well as individual skills. Key contributing factors include family support, cultural values, self-efficacy, emotional regulation, and time management. These elements interact dynamically, demonstrating that patients’ ability to manage diabetes is not determined by a single factor but rather by an integration of psychological readiness, supportive environments, and contextual influences. The findings highlight the importance of designing interventions that are holistic, culturally sensitive, and adaptable to patients’ daily realities. A holistic intervention approach, grounded in the bio-psycho-social and cultural model, is needed to enhance the effectiveness of self-management.Conclusions: Self-management is a crucial component in the management of T2DM. Ineffective implementation may lead to poor disease control and an increased risk of complications. Therefore, understanding the factors influencing self-management is essential for supporting sustainable and independent diabetes care

This study aims to evaluate the role of digital literacy in assisting the elderly in identifying misinformation and exploring supporting technologies in the verification process, enabling them to be more independent in filtering circulating news. This research employs the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method to analyze various academic literature relevant to the research topic from 2014 to 2024, focusing on strategies to enhance digital literacy and the effectiveness of technology in helping the elderly recognize hoax news. The findings indicate that elderly individuals with strong digital skills are more capable of distinguishing accurate information and tend to be more cautious before sharing news with others, while technologies such as chatbots on social media can serve as effective tools for quickly and easily verifying information. Therefore, improving digital literacy through educational approaches and utilizing artificial intelligence-based technology is a crucial step in combating hoaxes in the digital era while enhancing the quality of information consumption among the elderly
Pemahaman Literasi Informasi Halal Siswa : Literasi Halal Berdasarkan Berdasarkan Model Literasi Informasi Big Six
In the digital era characterized by easy access to information, the ability to filter and understand valid information has become an essential skill in the 21st century. Information literacy, involving the ability to seek, evaluate, and effectively use information, also serves as a foundation in ensuring the halalness of products and services amidst the rapid flow of digital information. This study aims to analyze the level of halal information literacy among junior high school (SMP) students in West Bandung Regency based on the information literacy indicator model developed by the researcher. The research employs a mixed-method approach with a quantitative-qualitative design. Quantitative data were collected through closed-ended questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were gathered through open-ended questionnaires and processed by identifying response patterns. The sample comprised 30 junior high school students selected through purposive sampling. The findings indicate that students’ halal information literacy falls into the moderate category, with a relatively good understanding at the stage of recognizing halal information sources. However, weaknesses were found in their ability to evaluate and utilize halal information effectively. Qualitative data reveal that students demonstrate high interest in halal information literacy but face challenges in identifying the halalness of products due to limited access to information and insufficient in-depth knowledge. This study contributes by developing halal information literacy indicators that can serve as a reference for assessing and improving halal literacy among students. These findings also form the basis for designing more comprehensive halal literacy education strategies in schools

Analisis Kadar Kafein dengan Metode Spektrofotometri pada Minuman Berenergi Sediaan Sachet yang Beredar di Sekitar Kasihan, Bantul
Kafein merupakan suatu senyawa organik yang mempunyai nama latin yaitu kafein, tein, atau 1,3,7- trimetilxantin. Senyawa ini terbentuk secara alami dan termasuk ke dalam turunan xantin-alkaloid. Kafein memiliki manfaat yang terbukti secara klinis di antaranya adalah relaksasi otot polos, stimulasi susunan syara pusat serta otot jantung. Preparasi larutan induk (1000mg/L) serta seri kadar diprepasi pada rentang 1-6 mg/L, yang memberikan persamaan garis Y= 0,1029x-0,0989 dengan nilai koefisien korelasi sebesar R2 = 0,909. Dari hasil analisis kuantitatif pada kopi dengan menggunakan metode spektrofotometri UV-Vis, ada 6 sampel kopi yaitu sampel A, B, C, D, E, dan F yang dibaca dengan panjang gelombang 275 nm. Untuk membaca nilai konsentrasi, masing-masing 100 mL sampel diambil 0,05 mL kemudian diencerkan dalam 3 mL akuades. Senyawa kafein dapat dianalisis dengan spektrofotometri karena memiliki gugus kromofor yang dapat menyerap radiasi atau panjang gelombang. Ekstraksi senyawa kafein dalam minuman berenergi dilakukan dengan metode corong pisah yang didasarkan pada perbedaan kepolaran pelarut. Semakin tinggi konsentrasi pelarut semakin besar absorbansinya. Nilai koefisien korelasi yang mendekati 1,0 menunjukkan korelasi yang sangat baik antara absorbansi dan kadar baku kafein sehingga persamaan regresi linier dapat digunakan untuk menentukan kadar kafein di dalam minuman
