Abstract
This study aimed to determine the effects of energy levels and sources on growth performance, antibody titers, and the gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in broilers exposed to heat stress. 450 one-day-old Ross chickens were assigned to six dietary treatments and five replicates in a completely randomized design. Chickens have received diets differentiated by main energy source (corn grain and soybean oil) and energy level (equal, 3 or 6% lower or higher than Ross 308 recommendation). Treatments were as follows: corn grain and equal as control (CON), corn grain, 3% lower (T1), corn grain, 6% lower (T2), corn grain and soybean oil, equal (T3), corn grain and soybean oil, 3% higher (T4), corn grain and soybean oil, 6% higher (T5). The room temperature was increased to 34 °C (6-h daily) from day 12 to 42 of age to induce heat stress. The highest corticosterone level was observed in the T1, T2, and T5 groups. The lowest antibody titers were observed in the T2 group and the highest expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines genes were in chickens receiving T5 diet. The highest feed conversion ratio (FCR) during the grower and finisher periods was observed in T2, and the lowest FCR was observed in T3 and T4 groups. It was recommended to feed Ross broiler chickens with a diet containing oil instead of a part of grain based on energy recommended by the strain recommendation.

Abstract
Aims: Early identification of a young child with developmental delays or deficits is recognized as an essential part of good healthcare for children in regular pediatric practice. This study aimed to design and develop an educational model to guide mothers of toddlers to increase their knowledge and skills about assessing growth, development, and stimulation of child development.
Materials & Methods: This research is a quasi-experimental study using a two-group pretest-posttest design, which was carried out at the Aurdauri Public Health Center, Jambi City, Jambi Province, Indonesia, in May – November 2022. The subjects were 31 mothers of children aged 2–5 years old who were randomly selected with the criteria of being able to use Android properly and distributed into small groups (n=15) and large groups (n=16). The small group used the application with assistance and the large group without assistance. Data were analyzed using the paired t-test.
Findings: 82% of the mothers could not distinguish between growth and development, 82% knew about growth stimulation, 91% wanted to know about growth and development stimulation, and 90% preferred audiovisual information. The development of learning materials to stimulate the growth and development of 2–5 years children led to educational applications, and the use of android applications increased mothers' knowledge about stimulating child growth and development (p=0.001).
Conclusion: The application implementation shows a significant increase in the knowledge of mothers with children aged 2–5 years.

Abstract
Aims: Knowledge and skills significantly affect the learning performance of vocational students. However, adding ability without enhancing memory can reduce learning effectiveness, which ultimately affects learning performance. This study was done to investigate the effect of learning engagement and self-confidence on learning performance, mediated by repetition of educational materials. The goal is to improve the learning process and increase students' memory retention during exams.
Participants & Methods: This study was conducted on 179 respondents from health vocational schools to analyze knowledge, skills, and expertise after learning using four variables: learning engagement, self-confidence, repetition strategy, and learning performance from August to December 2022.
Findings: The results indicated that learning engagement and self-confidence directly affected learning performance. The Repetition strategies mediated the relationship between learning engagement and self-confidence with learning performance.
Conclusion: Therefore, implementing rehearsal strategies for students is essential in the learning process to establish optimal learning performance. Repetition strategies can help students maintain and strengthen their memory, leading to better exam performance and educational evaluations.

Abstract
Aims: Tuberculosis remains a significant public health challenge, impacting both productivity and mortality rates. The limited detection of TB cases can be attributed to inadequate funding, insufficiently trained staff, and ineffective educational resources for healthcare workers. This research aimed to develop an m-health tool, specifically a 'Health Corner,' to enhance understanding of tuberculosis screening and the successful treatment of tuberculosis.
Materials & Methods: This study employed a mixed methods approach, encompassing both design and development research. The intervention model underwent field testing using a quasi-experimental design involving a two-group pre-test post-test setup, with a control group comprising 60 randomly selected individuals from Legok Village, Jambi City, in September 2023. Data analysis comprised descriptive and inferential methods, including the t-test.
Findings: Health promotion material experts confirmed that the academic manuscript complied with the material requirements and aligned with the prototype under construction. Multimedia experts likewise endorsed the suitability of the M-HEALTH application for public use. Practitioner experts also confirmed that the M-HEALTH application was highly suitable for practical implementation. Field trial results revealed a significant increase in participants' knowledge levels after exposure to the M-HEALTH application. Average knowledge scores rose from 7.66 to 9.63 post-education, reflecting an average difference of 2.03 (p=0.001).
Conclusion: Using health education resources related to tuberculosis can effectively increase public awareness and knowledge about this disease.

Abstract
Aims: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of using web-based applications and lecture methods in increasing knowledge and the ability to self-detect the risk of tuberculosis transmission.
Materials & Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental, two-group pre-test-post-test design with purposive sampling involving 120 close contacts of TB patients. The research was conducted in Jambi City, a known TB-endemic area, across five community health centers (Puskesmas). Data collection occurred from March to August 2024 through observations and questionnaire administration, with data analyzed using the analysis of covariance.
Findings: The web-based application and the lecture method effectively enhanced tuberculosis knowledge among close contacts (p<0.05). Both interventions significantly increased self-detection scores in this group; however, the web-based application demonstrated a greater mean improvement than the lecture method. This suggests that the web-based application is a more effective for enhancing TB-related knowledge and self-detection skills.
Conclusion: Both the “Sijari Manis” web-based application and the lecture method effectively enhance knowledge and self-assessment of tuberculosis transmission risk.
