Abstract

Skintific adalah merek skincare yang menggabungkan bahan alami dan teknologi modern untuk mengatasi masalah kulit seperti jerawat, kulit sensitif, dan penuaan dini. Meski berkualitas, Skintific menghadapi tantangan berupa harga yang relatif tinggi, keluhan efek samping, serta promosi yang kurang efektif. Hal ini menyebabkan konsumen cenderung memilih merek lain yang menawarkan harga lebih terjangkau dan promosi menarik. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada mahasiswa Fakultas Sains dan Teknologi Universitas Prima Indonesia angkatan 2021–2024, karena jumlah populasi cukup besar, maka ditetapkan teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan rumus Slovin dengan tingkat kepercayaan 90% dan margin of error sebesar 10%, sehingga diperoleh sampel sebanyak 97 responden. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa faktor harga, keamanan produk, dan promosi memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap keputusan pembelian produk Skintific melalui TikTok Shop di Kota Medan, baik secara parsial maupun simultan

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

The development of digital technology, especially artificial intelligence (AI), has had a significant impact on the world of work, requiring the younger generation to have qualified technological literacy. However, church youth often face limited access to information and technology-based training. This Community Service Activity (PKM) aims to increase technology literacy and basic understanding of AI for the youth of the HKBP Bethesda Perumnas Mandala Church as an effort to prepare for career readiness in the digital era. The implementation method is in the form of an interactive workshop that includes the delivery of materials, discussions, and questions and answers involving 75 participants of productive age. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of AI concepts, ethics in the use of technology, and strategies for dealing with digital-based career opportunities. The active discussion of the participants showed enthusiasm and readiness to adapt to technological transformation. This activity proves that collaboration between universities and churches is effective in strengthening the digital capacity of the younger generation, and can be a model of sustainable empowerment in the religious community.
