Abstract

The low level of cassava processing in rural areas of Central Kalimantan has led to untapped local economic potential. This community service activity aims to empower housewives in Rabauh Village by enhancing their skills in production, packaging, branding, and digital marketing of cassava-based processed products. The program was implemented by students of the University of Palangka Raya during the Regular Community Service (KKN) Period I in 2025 (July 16–August 18, 2025), involving 25 participants, most of whom were active housewives engaged in the Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) program. A Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach was applied to ensure participants’ active involvement in every stage of the activity, from needs identification and training to evaluation. The training focused on producing hygienic cassava chips with various flavors, creating simple product labels and packaging, and promoting products through social media. The results showed that 84% of participants improved their technical production skills, and 88% experienced socio-economic benefits through increased income and self-confidence in entrepreneurship. In addition to producing signature products such as “Spicy Sweet Cassava Chips with Kaffir Lime Leaves,” the activity also increased participants’ awareness of the importance of digitalization for micro-enterprises. Overall, the SIBER program made a tangible contribution to enhancing rural women’s economic capacity, fostering local food innovation, and serving as a sustainable empowerment model based on regional food potential in Central Kalimantan.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of dementia rises with the increasing life expectancy and elderly population. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is challenging for caregivers to help carry out their daily activities and provide cognitive stimulants to slow down the deterioration. Therefore, this research aims to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cognitive function in older people with dementia. Methods: This systematic review sought and reviewed observational studies data taken from various databases such as PubMed, EBSCOHost, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect starting from January to November 2022—using COVID-19, dementia, cognitive function, and elderly along with their synonyms as keywords. Results: As many as 11 literatures with a total of 3132 participants were obtained to be reviewed. Ten out of 11 pieces of literature showed a deterioration in the cognitive function of older people with dementia due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In comparison, one piece of literature showed an improvement in cognitive function that was not significant. Conclusion: The cognitive function of older people with dementia appears to deteriorate when compared between before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This can be seen as a decrease in MMSE, MoCA, or both scoring results. However, due to confounding variables not being accounted for in the pieces of literature reviewed, it is impossible to pinpoint the Covid-19 pandemic as the exact reason for this deterioration.
