Abstract

This community service program was designed to strengthen the competitive value of coffee bean processing through a combination of practical field training and structured mentoring for rural communities. The activity took place on June 29, 2025, in Motung Village, Ajibata District, Toba Regency, and involved 20 local participants representing farming households. The implementation model emphasized a participatory and hands-on approach, where participants were directly engaged in coffee bean processing techniques under the guidance of academic experts and field mentors. This initiative was a collaborative effort between Universitas Murni Teguh PSDKU Pematangsiantar, Politeknik Bisnis Indonesia, and the Farmer and Fishermen Association (KTNA) Pematangsiantar. The program’s primary objectives were to enhance local community skills in post-harvest coffee processing, to raise product quality standards, and to generate added value that would enable rural producers to compete in wider markets. Through structured mentoring, participants received continuous assistance that ensured they could apply the acquired knowledge and skills independently after the training activities concluded. The results demonstrated significant improvements in participants’ understanding and technical capacity, particularly in the areas of sorting, drying, roasting, and packaging coffee beans. These competencies allowed the local community to produce higher-quality coffee products that meet market expectations and enhance competitiveness. Furthermore, the program strengthened the link between academic knowledge, practical field skills, and local wisdom, which together form the foundation for sustainable rural empowerment. By improving coffee bean processing capacity, the initiative is expected to increase household income, foster an entrepreneurial spirit, and support the long-term development of Toba’s rural economy. In this way, the program not only equips the community with technical expertise but also contributes to broader goals of economic sustainability and social resilience in the region.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Technology Availability and Perceived Ease of Use on Academic Achievement with mediating variables of Perceived Behavior, Perceived Usefulness, and Subjective Norm. A qualitative approach with an explanatory design was used in this study. The research population consists of all students at Politeknik Bisnis Indonesia who actively use technology in academic activities, with a sample of 130 respondents selected through a purposive sampling technique. The research results show that Technology Availability has a significant positive effect on Perceived Behavioral Intention (T-Statistic 8.412; P-Value 0.000) and Perceived Usefulness (T-Statistic 3.249; P-Value 0.001). Perceived Ease of Use shows a significant positive effect on Perceived Usefulness (T-Statistic 10.875; P-Value 0.000) and Subjective Norm (T-Statistic 11.476; P-Value 0.000). These results support the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) theory. Additionally, Perceived Behavioral Intention and Perceived Usefulness each have a significant positive effect on Academic Achievement (T-Statistic 3.382; P-Value 0.001, T-Statistic 2.422; P-Value 0.016). However, Subjective Norms do not have a direct impact on Academic Achievement. (T-Statistik 1,452; P-Value 0,147). These findings highlight the importance of technology availability and perceived ease of use in enhancing students' academic performance by meditating on behavioural intention and perceived benefits. Recommendations are given for improving access and technology training in educational environments to maximize the use of technology in learning.

The activity took place at Politeknik Bisnis Indonesia on September 1, 2025, involving 60 students across two interactive learning sessions. The program aimed to enhance students’ ability to communicate effectively in global settings by integrating language proficiency, cultural awareness, and practical communication strategies. The learning process applied a communicative and experiential approach, featuring discussions, simulations, and task-based learning to develop students’ speaking fluency, cross-cultural sensitivity, and confidence. The participation of native English speakers provided authentic exposure to international discourse and cultural perspectives, which enriched the overall learning experience. Evaluation results indicated a significant improvement in students’ oral communication skills, vocabulary use, and intercultural understanding. Furthermore, participants demonstrated higher motivation and readiness to apply English in academic and professional contexts. Overall, this community engagement initiative effectively contributed to enhancing global communication competence and supported the institution’s mission to cultivate globally competitive and culturally aware graduates.

Abstract

Communication is an important aspect to allow human to interact with one another. It is quite simple and complex function in daily life. Mass media such as news is one of the types of communication that human use to receive information. Feature news stands out among other news due to its narrative and emotional aspects. With news being one of the roles to spread information to a diverse audience with different background such as language, it creates barriers to the non-English speaker audience. This study aims to explore translation roles with strategies and procedures to overcome communication barriers. It examines the process of translation by looking to the larger and smaller units of translation and how those units affect the Target Text naturalness by comparing the Source Text and Target Text using theories by Peter Newmark, Eugene Nida, Jean-Paul Vinay, and Jean Darbelnet as analytical frameworks.
