Abstract

Permasalahan sampah seolah menjadi permasalahan yang tidak berujung. Selain mencemari lingkungan, sampah juga menjadi tolak ukur derajat kesehatan masyarakat. Berbagai usaha telah dilakukan dalam upaya pengelolaan sampah dimasyarakat, salah satunya adalah dengan mendirikan program pembuatan ecobrick. Ecobrick adalah metode pengolahan limbah plastik dengan cara mengisi botol plastik bekas dengan sampah plastik lain yang sudah kering dan bersih, lalu dipadatkan hingga penuh. Ecobrick kemudian bisa digunakan sebagai bahan bangunan, seperti untuk dinding, furnitur, atau paving block. Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat tahun 2025 ini bertujuan untuk menyelesaikan masalah yang dihadapi oleh masyarakat desa yang bersifat komprehensif, multisektoral, yang mampu menuntun masyarakat ke arah kehidupan yang lebih sejahtera dan dinamis serta membantu meningkatkan kondisi sosial ekonomi warga dan mempermudah akses terhadap informasi dan ilmu pengetahuan tentang pengelolaan sampah berbasis masyarakat. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat kali ini bertujuan untuk melakukan pendampingan kepada masyarakat desa Talimbaru untuk meningkatkan kapabilitas dalam manajemen pengelolaan bank sampah. Selanjutnya masyarakat akan dibekali kreatifitas dalam mengolah sampah menjadi barang bernilai jual dalam kuantitas dan kualitas produk. Metode pelaksanaan pengabdian kepada masyarakat menggunakan metode pendampingan dan pelatihan.

Abstract

Background. Plastic pollution has become a defining environmental challenge for coastal communities in Southeast Asia, particularly in North Java, where rapid urbanization, industrial activities, and waste mismanagement exacerbate marine degradation. Local communities are not merely passive victims of this ecological crisis; they actively navigate, reinterpret, and resist the social and environmental impacts of plastic waste. Purpose. This study aims to investigate how a North Javanese coastal village adapts to and challenges marine pollution through cultural practices, social organization, and collective environmental action.   Method. An ethnographic research design was employed, integrating participant observation, in-depth interviews, household surveys, and environmental field notes to generate a multi-layered understanding of community responses. Results. The findings reveal three central patterns: first, adaptive behaviors emerge through pragmatic strategies such as waste repurposing and informal recycling networks; second, environmental degradation reshapes local cosmologies and cultural narratives surrounding cleanliness, morality, and human–nature relationships; third, forms of resistance manifest through community-led cleanups, youth environmental activism, and negotiations with local authorities and industries contributing to pollution. Conclusion. The study concludes that community adaptation and resistance are driven by intertwined ecological, economic, and cultural dynamics, illustrating that environmental crises are socially mediated phenomena requiring context-sensitive interventions.

Abstract

Background: Body mass index (BMI) inadequately captures metabolic risks driven by modern lifestyles, particularly the combination of ultra-processed food (UPF) intake and sedentary behavior. While each factor independently fosters low-grade systemic inflammation, their synergistic impact on the gut microbiota–inflammation axis in young adults with early metabolic syndrome (MetS) remains unexplored. Objective: This longitudinal cohort study examined the independent and synergistic effects of UPF consumption and sedentary behavior on gut microbiota composition and systemic inflammatory biomarkers in Indonesian young adults with early MetS over 12 months. Methods: We recruited 400 participants aged 20–30 years meeting 1–2 ATP III criteria for MetS. Dietary intake was assessed with a validated semi-quantitative FFQ with NOVA classification; sedentary time was measured via triaxial accelerometers. Gut microbiota was profiled using 16S rRNA sequencing (V3–V4 region), and hs-CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α were quantified at baseline and 12 months. Participants were stratified into four groups by median splits of UPF energy share (%kcal) and daily sedentary time. Generalized estimating equations tested synergistic interactions on inflammation, and mediation analyses evaluated microbiota diversity pathways. Results: The high-UPF/high-sedentary group exhibited the greatest increases in hs-CRP (+1.78 mg/L), IL-6 (+2.95 pg/mL), and TNF-α (+3.12 pg/mL), with a significant multiplicative interaction (p<0.001). Shannon diversity declined most sharply in the high-UPF/high-sedentary group (−0.32), paralleled by a rise in the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio (+0.47). Mediation analysis showed that 31.4% of the synergistic effect on hs-CRP was mediated by loss of diversity. Conclusion: Co-occurring high UPF consumption and sedentary behavior synergistically amplify systemic inflammation partly through gut dysbiosis in early MetS, underscoring the need to target both dietary and physical activity domains beyond BMI-centric strategies
