Climate change is another international concern with significant implications for food security, particularly for vulnerable groups. Weather changes, increasingly frequent extreme events, and variation in agricultural productivity disrupt food availability, access, and stability, and place people at risk of malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies. The paper discusses the relationship between climate change, food security, and the prevalence of malnutrition and vitamin deficiencies, with greater emphasis on the most vulnerable populations in the developing world and low-income communities. Besides posing health risks to humans, climate change also endangers animals, with livestock and wildlife populations most affected and susceptible to the same environmental stressors. The objectives include examining the impacts of climate change on food systems, nutrition, and health, with particular reference to vitamin A, D, and iron deficiency. These may be achieved through the review of existing literature, case studies, and statistical analysis of climate, agricultural, and health data. The results of the research have shown that climate change is one of the contributing factors to food insecurity in food distribution and crop production, with the impact of lowering the availability of nutrient-rich foods. Consequently, malnutrition and vitamin deficiencies are becoming more common among vulnerable populations. Some of the measures that would be prescribed by the study to improve food security would include the enhancement of the resilience of agriculture, diversification of food, and the augmentation of the public health interventions, which entail the use of micronutrient supplementation.

Zoonotic diseases that are transmitted through food are a significant global risk to gastrointestinal (GI) health, with high morbidity, mortality, and long-term morbidity. Salmonella, Campylobacter, ST137 E. coli, Listeria monocytogenes, and Yersinia enterocolitica are all known causes of foodborne illness in the world. There are still significant gaps in the knowledge of the actual disease burden, long-term GI sequelae, and environmental and host factors related to the pathogen transmission, as the WHO, the CDC, and EFSA have extensive surveillance. The goal of this review is to summarize the existing data on epidemiology, pathogenesis, and population health burden of significant foodborne zoonotic pathogens and identify the areas of prevention strategies in accordance with a One Health approach. This paper also explores the impact of zoonotic transmission on the gastrointestinal health of wildlife species, highlighting the ecological and public health implications. A narrative review approach was utilized using peer-reviewed articles, datasets of global burden, and international surveillance reports. The results show that bacterial zoonoses remain at the top of the world disease indicators and bring millions of diseases annually, and highly cost the economy. The pathogenesis includes epithelial invasion, toxin-dependent damage, inflammation, interference of the microbiota, and immune-mediated sequelae. The interventions need to be integrated, farm-to-fork, with increased surveillance and multisectoral collaboration to aid in prevention. The remaining gaps are underreporting, insufficient genomic surveillance, incomplete comprehension of chronic outcomes, and the up-and-coming role of antimicrobial resistance and climate change. These challenges need to be tackled to minimize the burden of foodborne zoonotic diseases in the world.

Objective: Frozen embryo transfer is a common practice in in vitro fertilization (IVF), allowing the preservation of viable embryos for future transfers.This technique can be performed in natural cycles or artificial cycles, each with its advantages and disadvantages.The natural cycle involves transferring the embryo during a regular menstrual cycle, while the artificial cycle uses hormones to prepare the endometrium to receive the embryo.This study aims to compare pregnancy rates and obstetric outcomes after frozen embryo transfers in both types of cycles.Methods: A retrospective study was carried out with 569 patients who underwent frozen embryo transfer between February 2022 and September 2024 in an assisted reproduction clinic.The patients were divided into two groups: Group A, transfer of thawed embryos in a natural cycle, and Group B, transfer of thawed embryos in an artificial cycle.Clinical pregnancy rates were assessed, defined as the presence of a fetal heartbeat on ultrasound.In addition, obstetric outcomes were analyzed, including rates of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, and pregnancy complications. Results:The results showed that the clinical pregnancy rate was significantly higher in Group A (natural cycle) with 65.74% compared to Group B (artificial cycle), which had a rate of 61.26%.Furthermore, the spontaneous abortion rate was lower in Group A, at 4.8%, compared to 10.1% in Group B. Gestational complications, such as ectopic pregnancy and pre-eclampsia, were similar between the groups.The observed differences can be attributed to the more favorable hormonal environment in the natural cycle, where ovulation and endometrial preparation occur physiologically, resulting in better endometrial receptivity.Previous studies also indicate that the administration of exogenous hormones during the artificial cycle can interfere with the quality of the endometrium, compromising the chances of implantation and embryonic development.Furthermore, patients on natural cycles may have a better hormonal adjustment, with a natural peak of progesterone and estrogen, which may favor embryo implantation.These findings are consistent with the literature, which suggests that natural cycles offer an environment closer to physiological, potentially benefiting reproductive outcomes. Conclusion:Frozen embryo transfers performed in natural cycles have demonstrated higher clinical pregnancy rates and lower miscarriage rates compared to artificial cycles.The choice of method must take into account the individual characteristics of each patient, aiming to optimize reproductive results.

Diabetes mellitus is a significant public health issue, with Jakarta, Indonesia, facing the highest prevalence in the country. The need for effective health campaigns is urgent, especially with Indonesia ranking sixth globally in diabetes-related deaths. Despite existing government efforts, a lack of awareness and understanding of diabetes remains a key factor in the rising number of cases. This highlights the need for an effective strategic communication plan to address diabetes prevention in Jakarta. This study aims to design a strategic communication plan using the Socio-Ecological Model (SEM) to combat diabetes in Jakarta, integrating proactive and reactive strategies through a media network approach. A qualitative research supported by a questionnaire without statistical testing was used, involving interviews with health professionals and diabetes patients. Data from literature studies were also analyzed to inform the campaign framework. The study highlights the importance of proactive strategies, such as mass media and social media activation, along with reactive strategies using fear-based messaging. A media network strategy utilizing QR codes for easy access to information was also found to be effective. A comprehensive communication strategy, engaging the government, local communities, and media, is essential in addressing the diabetes crisis in Jakarta. Further studies should assess the effectiveness of this communication plan and explore its scalability to other regions with high diabetes prevalence, focusing on long-term health outcomes. Keywords: Anti-diabetes campaign, communication in healthcare, propaganda PR strategy, socio-ecological model, strategic communication plan.

This study aims to determine the magnitude of the influence of servant leadership, organizational culture, compensation, and work discipline on employee performance at ATT Group Jakarta in 2023, either partially or simultaneously. The primary data is used by distributing questionnaires via Google form to respondents. The method used in this study is a quantitative method with a sampling technique using Slovin so that the number of samples in this study is 170 people. The analysis technique used is multiple linear regression analysis using the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) program for window version 25. The t-test results show the t-count value on the servant leadership variable of 0.805, which is smaller than the t-table of 1.974 (0.805 < 1.974) and the sig. 0.422 is greater than 0.05 (0.422 > 0.05), on the organizational culture variable the t-count value is 4.220 greater than the t-table 1.974 (4.220 > 1.974), and the sig. 0.000 is smaller than 0.05 (0.000 <0.05), in the compensation variable t-count 1.235 is smaller than t-table 1.974 (1.235 <1.974), and the sig. 0.219 is greater than 0.05 (0.219 > 0.05), for the work discipline variable the t-count value is 6.679 is greater than the t-table 1.974 (6.679 > 1.974), and the sig. value is 0.000 less than 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05 ), then from the results of the hypothesis test, it can be stated that partially servant leadership and compensation have no significant effect on employee performance.
