Abstract

Background. The rapid pace of modernization and urbanization has contributed to the erosion of local cultural heritage, especially in rural communities such as Bukit Sangkal Village, South Sumatra. Cultural practices, traditional arts, and indigenous values are increasingly marginalized in favor of more dominant globalized norms. Purpose. This study aims to examine how community service programs initiated by higher education institutions can play a pivotal role in preserving and revitalizing local culture. Method. Using a qualitative participatory action research (PAR) method, the study engaged directly with local stakeholders, including elders, artisans, youth groups, and village leaders. Data were collected through focus group discussions, field observations, and documentation of cultural activities.Results. The findings reveal that collaborative cultural workshops, educational campaigns, and documentation of oral traditions significantly increased awareness and participation among local residents. The revitalization of traditional dance and craft-making practices was particularly effective in engaging the younger generation. Conclusion. The study concludes that community service programs can act as dynamic instruments of cultural preservation when they are participatory, adaptive, and context-sensitive. These programs not only preserve heritage but also strengthen communal identity and intergenerational transmission of cultural knowledge.

Abstract

The global burden of disease, driven largely by preventable lifestyle factors such as poor diet, physical inactivity, and smoking, continues to strain healthcare systems worldwide. In response, health promotion strategies incorporating technological innovations have gained prominence as effective tools for preventive interventions. This study explores various technology-based strategies in health promotion, focusing on their role in encouraging preventive lifestyle changes to reduce the incidence of chronic diseases. The research employs a systematic review methodology, analyzing data from 40 peer-reviewed studies that evaluate the effectiveness of digital interventions such as mobile health apps, telemedicine, and wearable devices in promoting healthy behaviors. The findings indicate that technology-based interventions significantly improve health outcomes by increasing physical activity, enhancing dietary habits, and reducing smoking rates. Additionally, these interventions are shown to be highly effective in engaging populations that may have limited access to traditional healthcare services. The study concludes that technology-based health promotion strategies offer scalable, cost-effective solutions to reducing the burden of disease. However, challenges remain in ensuring equitable access and addressing concerns related to data privacy and security. The research underscores the importance of integrating technological tools into public health strategies to drive long-term improvements in population health.

Abstract

Dumping grounds are characterized by the absence of engineering controls such as base liners and cover layer. Consequently, these dumping grounds present risks for surrounding resources such as soil, groundwater and air. The concern for groundwater contamination by leachate from tropical dumping grounds is heightened due to the greater amounts of rainfall and subsequent infiltration and percolation through the waste mass. The emergent demand for old dumping grounds reclamation drives the need to employ remediation technologies. Generally, in-situ aeration is a remediation method that promotes aerobic conditions in the later stage of dumping ground. It accelerates carbon transfer, reduces remaining organic load, and generally shortens the post closure period. However, high rainfall in tropical areas straitens this technique. For example, pollutants could be easily flushed out and more energy should be required to overcome hydrostatic pressure. Although heavy rainfall could supply sufficient water to the substrate and accelerate degradation of organic matter, it may inhibit aerobic activities due to limited air transfer. The waste characterization from Lorong Halus Dumping Ground (closed dumping ground in Singapore) showed that the waste materials were stabilized after 22 years closure. According to the Waste Acceptance Criteria set by European Communities Council, the waste materials could be classified as inert wastes. One interesting finding was that leachate layer detected was about of 5 - 8 meter depth, which entirely soaked the waste materials. Hence, the reclamation design and operation should be carefully adjusted according to these characters. Lorong Halus Dumping Ground case study can provide a guideline for other tropical closed landfills or dumping grounds.
