Interactive nutrition education for pregnant women: Strengthening maternal health and environmental sustainability in stunting prevention
No full textBackground: Pregnancy is a critical period that determines both maternal and child health while influencing household food choices and environmental sustainability. Limited nutrition literacy during pregnancy not only increases the risk of malnutrition and stunting but also perpetuates unsustainable dietary practices that burden local ecosystems. This study aims to optimise pregnant women’s nutrition understanding through interactive education programmes that strengthen maternal health and promote environmentally sustainable practices. By emphasising balanced nutrition, positive attitudes, and the use of local food resources, the programme seeks to prevent stunting while reducing ecological impact. Method: A quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design was employed with 50 pregnant women selected through purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of animated educational videos, interactive simulations on sustainable food choices, quiz-based learning, and guided group discussions with health workers. Findings: Findings demonstrated a significant improvement in nutrition knowledge among the intervention group compared to the control group (Δ = 2.96 vs 0.4; p < 0.001). Beyond knowledge, participants reported greater awareness of the benefits of local, environmentally friendly food consumption patterns as part of stunting prevention efforts. Conclusion: Interactive education effectively enhances maternal nutritional literacy while integrating environmental sustainability into dietary behaviour. This dual benefit highlights the potential of participatory, eco-conscious educational models to improve maternal and child health outcomes while fostering sustainable food systems at the community level. Future researchers can compare various other education methods, such as digital-based education or a combination of conventional and interactive education, to determine the most effective approach in increasing mothers' knowledge and behavioural change in stunting prevention. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study uniquely integrates maternal nutrition education with environmental sustainability, using interactive, eco-conscious methods to simultaneously prevent stunting and promote sustainable dietary practices
Spatial multi-parameter analysis of landslide susceptibility with geological structure integration
Get PDFBackground: Based on the 2022-2026 disaster risk assessment, nearly all districts in Bali Province are at a high risk of landslides. The Tukad Oos Watershed is one of the river basins in Bali Province, spanning two districts: Gianyar District and Bangli District. Mapping and analysing landslide potential is an important step in disaster mitigation efforts. The objective of this study is to identify the locations of landslide-prone areas in the Tukad Oos Watershed and to assess the impact of the development of the Ubud and Kintamani tourist areas on these landslide-prone areas. Methods: The method used is multi-parameter scoring. This study analyzes landslide potential in Tukad Oos Watershed, Bali, using rainfall, slope, geology, soil, landform, and land use parameters with a weighted scoring method. Findings: The results of the landslide potential estimation analysis indicate a high landslide potential class covering 4.87 hectares or 0.03% of the basin area, a moderate potential class covering 72.97 hectares or 0.5% of the watershed area, a low potential class covering 829.98 hectares or 6.74% of the watershed area, and a non-potential class covering 11,406.05 hectares or 92.62% of the upstream Tukad Oos watershed area. Conclusion: The results of the landslide potential analysis from this study are quite similar to the Inarisk BNPB data, with the difference lying in the level of detail produced, which is influenced by the spatial resolution of the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) used for the analysis. The development of tourism activities in the Ubud and Kintamani areas does not significantly increase the landslide potential in the Tukad Oos watershed. Novelty/Originality of this article: Studies on landslides in Indonesia use several parameters; the main parameter that is often used is slope inclination, but this study adds geological structure parameters as a determining factor in landslide estimation

Paradoxical effects of principals’ leadership strategies on islamic character development in multicultural school settings
Get PDFBackground: The leadership of school principals plays a crucial role in shaping students' character in multicultural environments such as SMK Negeri 1 Purwokerto. However, there has been no specific study that examines the influence of leadership strategies on the development of students’ Islamic character within the context of cultural and religious diversity. This study addresses that academic gap by integrating three aspects: leadership strategies, Islamic character, and the multicultural context. Methods: This is an associative quantitative study employing a field research approach. A sample of 80 students was selected from a population of 403 students in grades X and XI using simple random sampling. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and Likert scale-based questionnaires, and were then analyzed using validity, reliability, normality, linearity, and simple linear regression tests. Findings: The findings indicate that the instrument was valid (r-count > 0.2199) and reliable (Cronbach’s Alpha: X = 0.742; Y = 0.729). The data were normally distributed (sig. = 0.168) and exhibited a significant linear relationship (sig. = 0.001). Simple linear regression analysis revealed that leadership strategies had a substantial influence on Islamic character (sig. = 0.003), but the effect was negative (regression coefficient b = -0.244) with a low contribution (R² = 0.105). This suggests that an increase in leadership strategies may potentially decrease Islamic character, possibly due to a lack of collaborative approaches or the dominance of external factors (89.5%). Conclusion: The conclusion highlights the significance of transformative-relational leadership, which entails embodying Islamic values and conducting contextual evaluations in multicultural settings. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this study lies in the integration of the three aspects and the revelation of a paradoxical negative relationship that has not been explored in previous research
