Background: Now that the spread of COVID-19 has been controlled, it is important to investigate changes in young people’s perceptions of the vaccine and their behavior toward infection. The objectives of this study were as follows: (1) to investigate the association between Omicron strain vaccination rates among college students, their perceptions of the vaccine, and past adverse reactions to the vaccine; (2) to compare 2021 (when COVID-19 was spreading) and 2023 (when COVID-19 was strained) to identify changes in attitudes toward vaccination and motivations for vaccination and changes in infection prevention behavior. Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted via e-mail from 5 January to 30 January 2023. All students at Hiroshima University were sent an e-mail, which provided them access to the survey form and requested their cooperation. The questionnaire consisted of 33 items related to attributes, vaccination status, adverse reactions after vaccination, motivation for vaccination, perception of the vaccine, presence of coronavirus infection, sequelae, and infection prevention measures. Results: A total of 1083 students responded to the survey. Over 50% of the students were vaccinated with the Omicron booster. Regarding trust in vaccines, the majority of both male and female respondents said they had some trust in vaccines, although this was less than that observed in the 2021 survey. As for infection control measures, only 2% of males and 0.3% of females answered that they did not take any infection control measures. The most common response was “wear a mask”, as in the 2021 survey, with 476 men (96.6%) and 575 women (99.5%). Conclusions: The survey showed a high Omicron-responsive vaccination rate of more than 50%. In addition, more than 99% of the students were found to be taking measures to prevent infection, such as wearing masks.
Risk of COVID-19 in Children throughout the Pandemic and the Role of Vaccination: A Narrative Review
Authors: Weber David J. , Zimmerman Kanecia O. , Tartof Sara Y. , McLaughlin John M. , Pather Shanti
Published: August 2024

At the beginning of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, persons ≥65 years of age and healthcare personnel represented the most vulnerable groups with respect to risk of infection, severe illness, and death. However, as the pandemic progressed, there was an increasingly detrimental effect on young children and adolescents. Severe disease and hospitalization increased over time in pediatric populations, and containment measures created substantial psychosocial, educational, and economic challenges for young people. Vaccination of children against COVID-19 has been shown to reduce severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections and severe outcomes in pediatric populations and may also help to prevent the spread of variants of concern and improve community immunity. This review discusses the burden of COVID-19 on children throughout the pandemic, the role of children in disease transmission, and the impact of COVID-19 vaccination.
A Non-Linear Optimization Model for the Multi-Depot Multi-Supplier Vehicle Routing Problem with Relaxed Time Windows
Authors: Mawengkang Herman , Syahputra Muhammad Romi , Sutarman Sutarman , Salhi Abdellah
Published: August 2024

In the realm of supply chain logistics, the Multi-Depot Multi-Supplier Vehicle Routing Problem (MDMSVRP) poses a significant challenge in optimizing the transportation process to minimize costs and enhance operational efficiency. This problem involves determining the most cost-effective routes for a fleet of vehicles to deliver goods from multiple suppliers to multiple depots, considering various constraints and non-linear relationships. The routing problem (RP) is a critical element of many logistics systems that involve the routing and scheduling of vehicles from a depot to a set of customer nodes. One of the most studied versions of the RP is the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW), in which each customer must be visited at certain time intervals, called time windows. In this paper, it is considered that there are multiple depots (supply centers) and multiple suppliers, along with a fleet of vehicles. The goal is to efficiently plan routes for these vehicles to deliver goods from the suppliers to various customers while considering relaxed time windows. This research is intended to establish a new relaxation scheme that relaxes the time window constraints in order to lead to feasible and good solutions. In addition, this study develops a discrete optimization model as an alternative model for the time-dependent VRPTW involving multi-suppliers. This research also develops a metaheuristic algorithm with an initial solution that is determined through time window relaxation.

Published: August 2024

The Water Quality Index (WQI) is a tool designed to provide a singular figure representing the overall water quality status of a water body. This study applies Malaysia WQI, National Sanitation Foundation WQI (NSFWQI) and statistical analysis to investigate the impact of diverse pollution sources on the Brunei River’s water quality, a critical aquatic ecosystem affected by the rapid escalation of urbanization, industrial activities, and agricultural runoff. Principal component analysis (PCA), expert judgement, and correlation analysis were used to propose parameters for developing Brunei River’s WQI. Eight monitoring stations were selected to analyze 16 water quality parameters (pH, water temperature (T), dissolved oxygen (DO), oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), chemical oxygen demand (COD), the five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), salinity, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), turbidity, total suspended solids (TSS), ammoniacal-nitrogen (NH3-N), fecal coliform (FC), total coliform (TC), phosphate and nitrate (NO3−) in this study. The results showed that NSFWQI classified the Brunei River as moderately polluted, while Malaysia (WQI) status was classified as slightly polluted except for Station Q around the quarry area. Statistical analysis revealed that the primary pollution sources are anthropogenic activities such as quarrying, domestic waste, and agricultural and urban runoff. Other specific areas of concern with low WQI and significant pollution levels are situated at Kampong Ayer Stations (N and J) due to proximal anthropogenic activities. The proposed water quality parameters for developing Brunei River’s WQI are pH, DO, EC, FC, NO3−, BOD5, T, TSS, turbidity and phosphate. This study addresses the current pollution status of the Brunei River and sets a precedent for future research emphasizing collaborative data-driven strategies for water quality management.

Published: August 2024

The escalating rates of deforestation, compounded by land degradation arising from intensified mining operations, forest fires, encroachments, and road infrastructure, among other factors, are severely disrupting the botanical and soil ecology of tropical ecosystems. This research focused on the upper Narmada River catchment area in central India, employing geospatial methodologies to assess land use and land cover (LULC) changes. Landsat 5, 7, and 8 satellite data for 2000, 2010, and 2022 were digitally classified using the maximum likelihood algorithm within the ERDAS IMAGINE and ArcGIS platforms. LULC was delineated into five categories (i.e., water bodies, built-up land, agricultural areas, forested regions, and fallow land). A spatio-temporal analysis revealed substantial declines of approximately 156 km2 in fallow land and 148 km2 in forested areas, accounting for 3.21% of the total area, while built-up land, water bodies, and agriculture land expanded between 2000 and 2022. There was a notable negative correlation observed between the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Land Surface Temperature (LST) across all LULC categories, except water bodies. The Land Degradation Vulnerability Index indicated that fallow lands, followed by forests and agriculture areas, exhibited a high vulnerability, with 43.16% of the landscape being categorized as vulnerable over the past 22 years. This study underscores the imperative of effective ecological restoration to mitigate land degradation processes and foster resilient ecosystems. The findings emphasize the importance of integrating scientific data into policy-making frameworks to ensure the comprehensive and timely management of the Narmada River landscape.
Harvest of Myriophyllum spicatum Facilitates the Growth of Vallisneria denseserrulata but Has No Significant Effects on Water Quality in a Mesocosm Experiment

The recovery of submerged macrophytes is crucial for lake restoration. However, Myriophyllum spicatum usually shows an overgrowth and inhibits the growth of Vallisneria denseserrulata via light shading in many restored shallow lakes after the plant transplantation. So far, harvesting M. spicatum is the primary method to alleviate these shading effects in post-restoration lakes. Nevertheless, the effects of harvesting on the growth of V. denseserrulata and water quality are poorly elaborated. In this study, we conducted a mesocosm experiment, including both monoculture and polyculture groups, to investigate the response of V. denseserrulata growth, light climate, and nutrient concentrations in the water with M. spicatum harvesting. Moreover, the growth and morphology of M. spicatum were also examined. We hypothesized that M. spicatum harvesting would enhance the growth of V. denseserrulata and improve both the light climate and water quality. Our results showed that harvesting M. spicatum in the polyculture mesocosms substantially enhanced the relative growth rate (RGR) of V. denseserrulata compared to the non-harvesting controls. Moreover, harvesting M. spicatum reduced the light attenuation coefficient at 30 cm depth; however, the concentrations of chlorophyll-a, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus did not change significantly. As for M. spicatum, harvesting inhibited the growth of main stem and root but did not significantly affect the cumulative weight and RGR of M. spicatum. In contrast, the presence of V. denseserrulata decreased cumulative weight and RGR while promoting the root parameters of M. spicatum. Our findings imply that harvesting overgrowth nuisance submerged macrophyte species (e.g., M. spicatum) can improve the light climate and reduce its root growth, thereby enhancing the growth of target macrophyte species like V. denseserrulata without changes in the water quality which provides valuable insights for post-restoration lake management.
Groundwater Sustainability Planning in California: Recommendations for Strengthening the Kern Groundwater Sustainability Plan
Authors: Okamura Kiana , Quandt Amy
Published: August 2024

Kern County is one of the most valuable agricultural counties in the nation. This, however, is being put in jeopardy with the recently implemented Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) in response to the ongoing California drought and extensive groundwater pumping for irrigation. The Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) are responsible for developing Groundwater Sustainability Plans to address the new SGMA policies. The objective of this paper is to examine the Kern Groundwater Sustainability Plan (KGSP), determine its strengths and weaknesses, and provide recommendations for the updated plan released in 2025. The plan performs well in defining criteria that must be met, but fails to address how these goals will be implemented. Based on our policy analysis, our recommendations include standardizing groundwater management terms across sub-basins, defining clear measurements of undesirable results, utilizing financial (dis)incentives to encourage groundwater users to manage water sustainably, and increasing interconnections between local and state organizations. Importantly, improving this policy process for the SGMA may be an example for critically overdrafted groundwater basins globally on how to more sustainably manage their groundwater.
Evaluating Uncertainties in an SM-Based Inversion Algorithm for Irrigation Estimation in a Subtropical Humid Climate
Authors: Almendra-Martín Laura , Judge Jasmeet , Monsivaís-Huertero Alejandro , Liu Pang-Wei
Published: August 2024

Monitoring irrigation is crucial for sustainable water management in freshwater-limited regions. Even though soil moisture (SM)-based inversion algorithms have been widely used to estimate irrigation, scarcity of irrigation records has prevented a thorough understanding of their uncertainties, especially in humid regions. This study assesses the suitability of the SM2RAIN algorithm for estimating irrigation at field scale using high-temporal-resolution data from four corn growing experiments conducted in north-central Florida. Daily irrigation estimates were compared with observations, revealing root mean squared differences of 1.26 to 3.84 mm/day and Nash–Sutcliffe Efficiencies of 0.33 to 0.89. The estimates were more sensitive to uncertainties in static inputs of porosity, saturation moisture and soil thickness than they were to noise in time series inputs. Defining the saturation moisture as porosity made the algorithm insensitive to both parameters, while increasing soil thickness from 40 to 200 mm improved detection accuracies by 34–46%. In addition, the impact of SM on the estimations was investigated based on satellite overpass times. The analysis showed that morning passes produced more accurate estimates for the study site, while evening passes doubled the uncertainty. This study enhances the understanding of the SM2RAIN algorithm for irrigation estimation in subtropical humid conditions, guiding future high-resolution applications.

As lutas (de) negras na terra, e os desafios da elaboração teórica: o sujeito negro como agente histórico no campo
Authors: Nascimento Givigi Ana Cristina , Oliveira Cristiane Santos
Published: August 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir a (des)consideração do sujeito negro como agente histórico do campo em face à disparidade entre a existência e lutas negra e feminina no campo e a elaboração teórica da educação do campo. Novos sujeitos vêm emergindo no cenário da educação do campo, reivindicando o seu lugar nas lutas e na produção teórico-política. Ao assim se colocarem, subvertem as classificações impostas pelo projeto de modernidade, cujo epicentro é a manutenção da supremacia racial branca e seus pressupostos políticos e econômicos. À esteira deste argumento, percebe-se que o legado ancestral feminino é constituído por estratégias que se circunscrevem a partir de cosmologias negras, cujas performances são tecidas fora dos modelos eurocentrados da política (Martins, 2003) e que estão fora da elaboração teórica da educação do campo, uma vez que as pedagogias negras não constituem princípios e concepções da educação do campo. Este trabalho utiliza-se de cartas de discentes negras do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação do Campo da Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia, elaboradas num projeto de pesquisa, para apontar o violento silenciamento das negras, e em contrarresto dizer dos arranjos políticos que indicam sociabilidades produtivas no campo. Estas práticas ancestrais ritualizaram lutas pela e na terra, seja de escravizados/as, seja de assenzalados/as, que eram, antes de tudo, povos negros africanos e agentes históricos da luta pela terra. Isso indica uma política de (re)conhecimento das lacunas do pensamento social brasileiro e a necessidade de reposicionamento do branco e seu lugar de privilégio na produção teórica.

The period 1940-1944 was an extremely difficult one for European Jewry, subject to a comprehensive program of persecution and extermination, with the decisive contribution of Nazi Germany and its allies.The Antonescu Regime differed from that of his predecessors and from its contemporary European counterparts in some significant respects, and, while enjoying the overwhelming support of the Romanian nation for the military activities against the Soviet Union, it was still a military dictatorship.The article analyses some aspects of the Jewish situation in Romania during this period, and its relations with the Romanian state in a complex context, mainly based on archival sources.
Opera istorico-religioasă a arhimandritului Andronic Popovici în raport cu cenzura țaristă
Authors: GUMENÂI Ion
Published: August 2024

Censorship is known to be an essential tool for promoting and preserving a political regime. Considering that in Bessarabia and the Russian Empire, Orthodoxy is the dominant religion, and that Orthodoxy as a religious doctrine is not divisible or interpretable, this mechanism should not have been applied in this context. However, censorship as a repressive tool depended on the origin and content of the works, and obviously there was a huge difference between works endorsed by the Holy Synod of St. Petersburg and those of other states, especially those with a non-Slavic population.This paper refers to this censorship mechanism and the circumstances in which it was employed. Archimandrite Andronic Popovici, with education and experience at the school of Neamț and Secu monasteries in Moldavia, was active in Bessarabia after his leaving the region of Neamț in Moldavia, because of the secularization processes imposed by prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza.At the Noul Neamț monastery, Popovici wrote the fourth edition of the History of the Holy Neamț and Secu monasteries, which he tried to publish in Bessarabia. However, local censors rejected his book. The causes that led to the interdiction of this religious work, written by a monk and descendant of Paisie Velicikovcki, is the subject of this paper.
Религиозные репрессии в Украинской ССР: судьба православной церкви южной Бессарабии
Authors: AKCHEBASH Alyona
Published: August 2024

This paper analyses the repressive nature of the relationship between the Soviet Government and the clergy in the Ukrainian SSR in the postwar years. The most tragic period for the church and believers is shown in relation to the case of Southern Bessarabia. In this article the focus falls on the directions of the state policies during the period when the region was a part of the Romanian Kingdom. Scholars have determined that before 1940 and between 1941–1944 the Romanian authorities aimed to raise the authority of the Church. In subsequent years, however, the Soviet Government perceived the clergy and believers as a hotbed of dissent and opposition, subjecting them to persecution and repression. The persecution of the church contributed to the establishment of a new political situation, the characteristic features of which were a general atmosphere of fear, denunciations and espionage. This persecution resulted in the destruction of a significant part of local architectural monuments, cultural values, the reduction in the intellectual potential of society and – most importantly – millions of people were deprived of their lives and became prisoners in the Soviet GULAG.
Printre „prietenii dușmani”. Situația Legației României din Bratislava (august 1944 – aprilie 1945)
Authors: BRUJA Radu Florian
Published: August 2024

This paper details the situation of the Romanian Legation in Bratislava after the political and military turn of August 1944. Romania and Slovakia were partners in the Tripartite Pact and had worked closely together until then. Without a declaration of war, the Romanian political turn brought them face to face in the final confrontations of World War Two. Slovakia’s dependence of Nazi Germany and the failure of the national uprising profoundly affected the status of the Romanian diplomats in Bratislava. Led by Gheorghe Elefterescu, the diplomatic mission was prevented from leaving Slovak territory and was kept in a state of permanent insecurity. Quite numerous, diplomatic and contract staff lost their diplomatic status and had great financial difficulties during the winter of 1944–1945. The Slovak authorities and hostile Germans violated the international legal norms of the time. The efforts of the Romanian diplomacy and the mediation of the Swiss Legation in Bratislava could not change the situation of the former Legation. The uncertain status worsened after the loss of any connection between Bratislava and Bucharest in February–April 1945. Only after the arrival of Romanian and Soviet troops, the staff of the former diplomatic mission was rescued and brought back to the country.
Şcolile secundare din România în perioada 1918-1948
Authors: Constantin (Preda) Elena
Published: August 2024

In the Romanian educational space, secondary education underwent various paradigm shifts, after 1919, having as main responsibility the formation of a nation with a deep general culture, formed for university education and prepared for raising the level of education throughout the country. According to the pedagogical currents of the time, secondary education was presented as an intellectual school, but with lower-than-expected performance, which led to the introduction of exams at the end of each school year and the baccalaureate exam in 1925, hoping to increase the quality of education and, consequently, to have well-prepared graduates. The impact produced by these changes led to the increase of philosophical education, starting with 1926, in the idea of training students in the spirit of conceptions about the world and life, as a result of finding that young people were disoriented, professionally. This type of education, focused on theorizing, developed to the detriment of realist education, reaching in the first half of the twentieth century the conclusion that in Romania were trained too many clerks and too few “people with a trade”. Only after the great economic crisis of 1931 the high school acquires practical orientation, and from 1934 it returns to the old form of high school, as a school of general culture, a school for the selection of intellectual elites.Normal schools are constantly evolving in number, immediately after the war, in line with democratic ideas and socio-political needs that required an educated citizen, able to manage the two consequences of electoral and agricultural reforms, the vote and private property. The normal school, in general, participated intensely in the increase of the educational level, especially in the rural environment, particularly in the conditions in which the number of teachers and the number of normal schools increase, so that in the interwar period the number of normal schools had reached 111, approximately two schools in each county, each school doubled the number of classes, the number of years of study increases from six years to seven years, by the law of 1924 and from seven years to eight years in 1931.Individualism focused on the formation of the individual and starts from the fundamental premise that the human individual is of paramount importance in society. The society being made up of educated individuals, it had all the chances to become an educated society.

Reprezentanţi consulari austrieci şi belgieni în oraşe din Ţara Românească (1849 – 1936)
Authors: Mitea Ionel Constantin
Published: August 2024

For the reference period, Austria and Belgium have registered an intense dynamic of consular representation in Bucharest and other important cities in the Romanian region, as an expression of a pronounced geopolitical and economic interest in the strategic opportunities offered by our space. The beginning of the sustained Austrian consular interest in the Romanian Country region is recorded in the archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bucharest, starting in 1849, and a similar interest in Belgium is evident from 1870. The consular representation efforts complemented those of the foreign shipping companies that were active in Romanian ports from the third decade of the 19th century until the second decade of the 20th century. The two Western powers set up consular offices of various ranks (vice-consulates, consulates, consulates general and honorary consular offices) in Bucharest and five other important cities in the region of Wallachia (Brăila, Craiova, Giurgiu, Ploiești and Turnu-Severin). Three of the cities, which have benefited from Austrian and Belgian consular representation, are important ports on the Danube. In the Romanian cities, Austrian and Belgian consular representatives with a rich experience in the diplomatic field worked, some of them being members of the noble families of their countries of origin. We also note the policy of rotating consular representatives between the offices operating in Romanian cities, stating the principle of good knowledge of all their realities. In the geopolitical and military context of the outbreak of the First World War, Austria restricted its consular activity in the Romanian provincial towns, the Belgian consular presence being also recorded in the interwar period.
Reflecţii pe marginea cărţii lui Cyril Hovorun: Ortodoxii politice. Ereziile unei biserici aservite
Authors: Enache George
Published: August 2024

The study starts from Cyril Hovorun's book: Political Orthodoxies: The Unorthodoxies of the Church Coerced and analyzes several concepts present in the book: "Political Orthodoxies", "Unorthodoxies", "Heresies", "Church Coerced", "civil religion", "political religion", "ideology", "conservatism", "fundamentalism", etc.Once these concepts are clarified, it is shown that Hovorun does not define some concepts well, in many situations it is confusing, and the work presents many shortcomings from the point of view of historical documentation. The situation is even more complicated in the case of the Romanian translation, which subtly tries to criticize the Orthodox Church from a Protestant perspective, by manipulating some concepts.At the end, the study proposes a new grid for understanding the relations between Orthodoxy, ideology and political power in the contemporary era.

First aid is essential for accident victims that can happen anywhere, including at school. This community service activity aims to increase student's knowledge, awareness, and skills in providing first aid to accident victims (P3K), especially in schools. P3K educational activities use lectures, discussions, leaflets, and demonstrations. The training participants were 35 SMPN 5 Meurebo Peunaga Ujong, West Aceh Regency students. The material presented includes essential life support, first aid for poisoning, choking, and allergies, wound care, and evacuation of accident victims. The demonstration was presented using audio-visual media, and this community service activity was evaluated using questionnaires given at the beginning and end of the activity. The results of this service activity showed that before P3K education was given, 71% of students had insufficient knowledge, and 29% had medium knowledge. After being given P3K education and demonstration, there was an increase in knowledge; namely, 34% of students had moderate knowledge, and 66% were highly knowledgeable. P3K education for students of SMPN 5 Meurebo Peunaga Ujong, West Aceh Regency, can improve students' knowledge and skills in performing first aid. Junior high school children are expected to act as first responders for victims of accidents that occur at school.

Bullying has occurred in various types of schools, including Islamic boarding schools. The Al-Amanah Junwangi Modern Islamic Boarding School is no exception. Partners experience two problems: (1) teachers lack knowledge about bullying and its handling; and (2) students engage in bullying. Partners are aware of the dangers of bullying, so there is a need for an anti-bullying program. One solution is to provide knowledge and insight about bullying or anti-bullying lessons. To address the second problem, the solution is to implement anti-bullying lessons directly with students. We implemented the method by using lectures interspersed with questions and answers, discussions, viewing videos, games, case studies, and simulations. There were 46 anti-bullying lesson participants, with details of 16 teachers, 15 Santri, and 15 female students. The results of the implementation showed an increase in understanding about bullying and its impacts by 16% and an increase in practical sessions by 38% among teachers. Meanwhile, students showed an increase in understanding about bullying and its impacts by 19%, and female students by 10%. Other results show that female students are able to demonstrate behavior against bullying completely, while 58% of students are able to demonstrate stay-calm behavior, 33% feel good about you, and 75% don't be quite.

Desain grafis merupakan sarana untuk berkomunikasi melalui visual dalam wujud dua dimensi atapun tiga dimensi yang melibatkan prinsip-prinsip estetika. Untuk membuat karya desain bisa menggunakan Photoshop yang merupakan salah satu software yang sering digunakan desainer grafis. Penggunaan software ini sangat positif karena dapat memfasilitasi desainer menghasilkan mahakarya desain grafis buah dari pemikirannya sendiri. Photoshop tidak hanya bisa digunakan untuk pembuatan stempel, tetapi juga poster, spanduk, logo, dan jenis desain grafis lainnya. Pengabdian di sini dilakukan mengusung metode pendidikan dan pelatihan dengan instrumen ukur keberhasilannya adalah pre-test dan post-test. Sementara tahapan yang ditempuh mengikuti rentetan POAC Terry dengan mengadopsi ATM sebagai tekniknya. Adapun tujuan yang diharapkan adalah dapat mengetahui dan membekali pemahaman serta keahlian Zoomer di SMA Muhammadiyah 6 Meulaboh dalam penguasaan software Photoshop guna menghasilkan produk desain grafis. Temuan dan hasil evaluasi yang tim peroleh selama pelaksanaan menunjukkan bahwa Zoomer di sekolah tersebut memiliki ketertarikan terhadap desain grafis dengan menunjukkan antutiasme dalam mendengarkan materi yang dipaparkan dan dipraktikkan. Namun juga didapati sebagian Zoomer kurang aktif saat diskusi dan beberapa mengalami kebingungan karena belum pernah adanya sosialisasi dan pelatihan desain grafis yang dilakukan sebelumnya. Oleh karenanya, tim merekomendasi agar instens memberikan pendidikan dan pelatihan kepada mereka agar pengetahuan dan keterampilannya tumbuh.

Published: August 2024

Health is a long-term investment that is indispensable in supporting the success of Indonesian development. WHO has committed to developing a health system that can ensure everyone gets the health services they need without worrying about being constrained by costs, this health is known as Universal Health Coverage. One of the obligations of JKN participants was to pay monthly fees, Ability to pay and Willingness to pay greatly affected people's interest in paying monthly fees. As many as 83% of Indonesia's population had become participants of JKN, but the high number of JKN participants was not accompanied by the active participation of the participants in paying monthly fees.

The rise of fraudulent methods seems to be a big task for state officials in Indonesia. Housewives are the primary victims of phishing crimes. The absence of knowledge and information about legal literacy in relation to phishing crimes via WhatsApp and Telegram messages appears to be a significant obstacle. This study aims to understand the role of housewives in Surabaya, particularly in dealing with phishing, and educate their family and friends about legal literacy to prevent them from becoming victims of these criminal acts. We use a descriptive method that employs a quantitative approach. The data used is primary data. The data collection technique entails distributing data via a Google Form questionnaire and utilizing information from previous literature, journals, online media, and books. The research results showed that messages sent via WhatsApp or cellphones, which contained invitations to join or clicked on unclear links, had the greatest impact on the group of elderly housewives. This is due to a lack of information regarding fraud prevention awareness. Housewives are required to be socialized about phishing crimes and legal literacy. Legal literacy among housewives in the city of Surabaya is very necessary, considering that there are many cases of violations committed by housewives, some of which even have criminal consequences. Educating housewives on the fundamentals of fair legal literacy can help lower the high crime rate that stems from a lack of legal understanding. The elderly group, especially housewives in Surabaya, still lacks experience dealing with personal problems based on their comfort.
