Stunting remains a significant public health issue in Jember Regency, despite the implementation of various intervention programs by national and local governments. This study aims to identify and analyze the key factors that hinder efforts to reduce stunting rates in the region. Employing a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with local stakeholders, healthcare workers, and community members, the research reveals several major barriers, including low nutritional literacy, disparities in access to healthcare services, weak intersectoral coordination, and limited resources and supporting infrastructure. Additionally, entrenched cultural practices and inadequate parenting patterns perpetuate the intergenerational cycle of stunting, child marriage, or early marriage. The findings highlight the urgency of adopting an integrated, community-based approach and strengthening monitoring and evaluation systems to accelerate and sustain the reduction of stunting in Jember.

This article examines the cultural construction of gangster identity and local heroism in contemporary Thai society through an analysis of the Khun Phan film trilogy. Drawing on the historical figure of Southern Thai police officer Khun Phantharakratchadech, the films portray Khun Phan as both a mystical warrior and an enforcer of state authority, blending historical memory with folkloric heroism. Using Stuart Hall’s theory of representation, the study argues that Khun Phan regenerates ideological discourse on Thai masculinity, power, and justice from a provincial perspective. Unlike conventional cinematic gangsters, Khun Phan embodies the convergence of institutional authority and personal virtue. The trilogy reconfigures the image of nakleng (gangster) as a moral figure that mediates between state power and grassroots heroism. Khun Phan’s encounters with gangsters across Southern and Central Thailand further reveal shared nakleng virtues, suggesting a cultural identity that transcends regional boundaries within Thai society. The article argues that the trilogy functions simultaneously as a cultural artifact and a form of contemporary political commentary. While it critiques systemic corruption, it also situates Southern Thai masculinity within the national imaginary and rearticulates nakleng as a symbol of moral justice and defiance. Amid growing debates on gender diversity and liberal values, the films ultimately reaffirm a localized masculine ideal grounded in honour, authority, and duty.

This study examines a psychoeducation based psychological intervention about activist burnout among human rights activists in Aksi Kamisan Surabaya. One group pre test and post test experimental method was employed consisting of 10 activists aged 18 - 25 years, the coordinator of Aksi Kamisan Surabaya, and community members around Taman Apasari, observed during weekly actions. Data were collected using the DASS-42, an activist burnout questionnaire, focus group discussion, semi structured interviews and field observations. Results demonstrated that activists experienced emotional exhaustion, situational anxiety, moral distress, and reduced personal accomplishment. Post interventions results showed increased reflective awareness and improved ability to identify psychological experiences as activist burnout. Levels of stress and anxiety in moderate to high levels, indicated ongoing structural and sociopolitical stressor rather than individual pathology. These results support psychoeducation as a preventive mental health strategy for activists

Background: The work environment becomes more complex due to globalization and cross-cultural performance demands. A multinational manufacturing company in East Java faces significant challenges in sustaining employee work engagement. Objective: This study aims to understand how employees in a multinational company experience and construe resilience in sustaining their work engagement. The research adopts Coulson’s (2006) resilience framework. Method: This qualitative study employed an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), involving 4 participants. Data were analyzed using IPA, with credibility ensured through triangulation, member checking, and peer debriefing. Results: Employees’ resilience in sustaining work engagement within a multinational company context is dynamic, from yielding to thriving. Engagement is initially minimal due to emotional strain, becomes more stable during recovery, and ultimately strengthens when work-related pressure is reinterpreted as a catalyst for continuous growth. Conclusion: Employee resilience is a dynamic and gradual process that shapes the sustainability of work engagement through adaptation to global pressures. This study highlights resilience as a regulatory mechanism and recommends emotional regulation training, coaching interventions, and the development of organizational psychological safety.

Indonesia has extensive biodiversity and a rich tradition of medicinal knowledge that has been passed down from generation to generation. These traditional medicines, derived from native plants and cultural practices, have significant potential to contribute to national health. However, the National Health Insurance System (SJKN) has not integrated traditional medicine into its financing scheme. This exception not only limits public access to alternative therapies but also hinders state support for the development and formal recognition of traditional medicine. At the same time, the national pharmaceutical industry is still heavily dependent on imported raw materials for medicines (Drug Raw Materials/BBO), making it vulnerable to global supply chain disruptions and the influence of drug import cartels, all of which are exacerbated by weak regulatory enforcement. This research uses a normative approach and case studies on the importance of legal protection through Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and the integration of traditional medicine in JKN. The findings show that suboptimal regulation and weak IPR protections, particularly in the form of patents, trade secrets, and geographical indications, act as major barriers to innovation, commercialization, and investment. Strengthening the legal framework can encourage research and development, protect traditional knowledge from exploitation, and promote the sustainable use of local resources. Integrating traditional medicine into SJKN is not only culturally valuable, but also has a significant influence on reducing dependence on imported medicines.
