This study aims to analyze the effect of Financial Knowledge and Financial Attitude on Investment Decisions among the community in Banda Aceh City. Investment activities have become increasingly important as individuals seek ways to manage their finances and improve their long-term financial well-being. Therefore, understanding the factors that influence investment decisions is essential. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method with 100 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The data collected from the respondents were then analyzed using multiple linear regression to determine the influence of each variable. The results indicate that Financial Knowledge and Financial Attitude partially and simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on Investment Decisions. Among these variables, Financial Attitude shows a more dominant influence in shaping individuals’ investment behavior, although the overall contribution of both variables remains relatively low. These findings suggest that individuals with better financial understanding and more positive Financial Attitudes tend to make more rational investment choices.

Basic immunization completeness is an effective measure to prevent potentially fatal diseases in infants. However, the coverage of complete basic immunization in Aceh in 2022 remained low at 38.4%, far below the government target of 84.2%. This study aimed to analyze factors associated with the completeness of basic immunization among infants in the working area of Ladang Tuha Health Center, South Aceh. This study employed a descriptive analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of all mothers with infants aged 12–24 months, totaling 107 individuals. A sample of 36 respondents was selected using random sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews from May 22 to May 29, 2025. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-square test with a 95% significance level. The univariate analysis showed that 41.7% of infants had received complete basic immunization, while 58.3% had not. Most mothers had poor knowledge (55.6%), close access to health services (97.2%), low family support (58.3%), and less supportive social environments (69.4%). Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations between immunization completeness and maternal knowledge, family support, and social environment. However, access to health services was not significantly associated with basic immunization completeness. Routine health education, family involvement, and strengthening immunization programs are needed to improve basic immunization coverage.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease characterized by cartilage damage and often causes disability, especially in the elderly. It is a public health problem due to its reduced quality of life. This study aims to determine the risk factors associated with osteoarthritis in the community within the Lampulo Community Health Center (Puskesmas) in Banda Aceh City in 2025. The study used a descriptive analytical design with a case-control approach. The population comprised the entire community within the Lampulo Community Health Center's working area, using a total population approach, involving 48 case respondents and 48 control respondents. The study was conducted from April 24 to May 21, 2025. Data were collected through interviews using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the chi-square test in SPSS. Univariate results showed that the majority of respondents were employed (61.5%), had moderate physical activity (44.8%), were obese (54.2%), and had no comorbidities (52.1%). Bivariate analysis showed no significant association between gender, occupation, obesity, and physical activity with osteoarthritis incidence. However, there was a significant association between comorbidities and the incidence of osteoarthritis (P value = 0.000; OR = 25.000). The study's conclusions indicate that comorbidities are a major risk factor for osteoarthritis. Patients are advised to pay attention to risk factors, while community health centers are encouraged to increase education and health promotion related to osteoarthritis prevention.

DHF is a health problem in tropical climates. This disease can disrupt the function of capillary blood vessels and the blood clotting system, thus increasing the risk of bleeding in sufferers. This study design was a case-control study with 31 cases and 31 controls, totaling 62 respondents. The sampling technique was total sampling, with data collected through questionnaires over 27 days. The results of the univariate analysis showed that most respondents sometimes empty landfills (43.5%), do not cover them properly (58.1%), and do not recycle used items (91.9%). In addition, 79% hang clothes indoors, 69.4% use mosquito repellent, and 79% consider the role of mosquito larvae control teams to be inadequate. Bivariate analysis showed that the behavior of draining (p = 0.001; OR = 13.3) and covering water reservoirs (p = 0.033; OR = 2.6) were significantly associated with the incidence of dengue fever, while recycling used goods (p = 0.162; OR = 0.225), hanging clothes (p = 0.755; OR = 1.215), the use of mosquito repellent (p = 0.409; OR = 1.581), and the role of jumantik (p = 0.119; OR = 2.761) did not show a statistical relationship. Community behavior in implementing 3M Plus plays a role in the incidence of DMF, especially the habit of not draining landfills regularly. Therefore, cross-sectoral cooperation and continuous education are needed between the government, health workers, and the community through mosquito nest eradication activities and routine counseling, so that compliance can be increased and the incidence of DMF can be suppressed.

Healthcare workers in disaster-prone areas face unique occupational challenges that affect their resilience and workload. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between resilience levels and workload among healthcare workers at Puskesmas Peusangan, Bireuen Regency, Aceh Province, Indonesia. A mixed-methods approach with explanatory sequential design was employed, combining quantitative cross-sectional survey (n=87) with qualitative in-depth interviews (n=15). Resilience was measured using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-25) Indonesian version, while workload was assessed using the NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX). Quantitative data were analyzed using Spearman correlation and multiple linear regression, while qualitative data underwent thematic analysis. Results showed that 43.7% of respondents had moderate resilience levels, while 51.7% experienced high workload. A significant negative correlation was found between resilience and workload (r=-0.486, p<0.001). Regression analysis revealed that disaster experience, years of service, and social support significantly predicted resilience (R²=0.412, p<0.001). Qualitative findings identified four main themes: adaptive coping strategies, community bonding, resource constraints, and institutional support gaps. The study concludes that healthcare workers in disaster-prone areas require targeted interventions to enhance resilience and optimize workload management. Policy recommendations include implementing resilience training programs, improving staffing ratios, and establishing peer support systems.

The hospitality industry faces increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices due to growing environmental awareness and shifting consumer preferences. This study aims to develop a Sustainable Hospitality Model by integrating green practices and customer perceived value in enhancing guest loyalty. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey of hotel guests who had stayed at least once within the last year. Data were analyzed using multiple regression to examine both direct and indirect relationships among variables. The findings reveal that green practices have a positive and significant effect on customer perceived value and guest loyalty. Furthermore, customer perceived value mediates the relationship between green practices and guest loyalty. These results confirm that environmentally responsible practices, when integrated with value creation strategies, can strengthen long-term guest loyalty. This study contributes theoretically to the development of sustainable hospitality models and provides practical implications for hotel management in designing customer-oriented sustainability strategies.

Research aims: This study examines the effects of regulations, human resource competence, and budget politics on budget absorption. In addition, it seeks to analyze the moderating role of budget politics in strengthening or weakening the relationships between regulations, human resource competence, and budget absorption. Design/Methodology/Approach: This research adopted a quantitative approach using a questionnaire survey. The study population comprised all government officials from 27 regional apparatus work units in Nagan Raya Regency, Aceh Province, totaling 108 respondents, including service secretaries, financial administration officials, expenditure treasurers, and heads of finance subdivisions. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Research findings: The results indicate that budget politics positively influence public budget absorption, whereas regulation and human resource competence do not have a direct effect. The moderation analysis further reveals that budget politics has a significant negative moderating effect on the relationship between regulation and budget absorption, implying that heightened political intensity may weaken the effectiveness of regulatory frameworks. Conversely, budget politics does not moderate the relationship between human resource competence and public budget absorption.Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study has expanded the literature on the political budget cycle by emphasizing the significance of balancing political stability, regulatory flexibility, and adaptive human resource capacity to improve the effectiveness of public budget absorption.Practical/Policy implication: Local governments should design regulations that are adaptive to political dynamics, strengthen managerial human resource capacity, and optimize digital technologies to enhance transparency and efficiency in budget management.
