Abstract

The 2025 flood disaster in Ujong Pacu Village, Lhokseumawe City, disrupted access to preventive health services for children, including circumcision, which has medical, social, and religious aspects. This community service research aims to improve the health of flood survivor children through a community-based mass circumcision program. The implementation method uses a community-based intervention approach that includes preparation, medical procedures, and post-procedure monitoring and evaluation. Data were collected through activity observations, participant documentation, and post-circumcision health evaluations. The results of the activity indicate that the mass circumcision program, implemented continuously from 2015 to 2026, served 260 children with a 100% success rate without serious complications. This program not only improves children's preventive health but also strengthens social solidarity and the role of universities in post-disaster social rehabilitation. These findings confirm that community-based health interventions are effective as a community empowerment strategy in disaster-affected areas.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of economic growth, population growth, and unemployment on poverty levels in Indonesia in both the short and long run. The data used are time series data for the period 1991–2024, sourced from the Central Bureau of Statistics and the World Bank. The analytical method employed is the Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to examine both short-term and long-term relationships among variables. The results show that in the short run, economic growth has a negative effect on poverty levels in Indonesia, while population growth and unemployment have positive effects on poverty levels. In the long run, economic growth also has a negative effect on poverty levels, whereas population growth and unemployment continue to have positive effects on poverty levels. This implies that an increase in economic growth can reduce poverty levels. Conversely, population growth and unemployment contribute to an increase in poverty levels.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Provincial Minimum Wage, Industrialization, and Population Growth on Urbanization in Indonesia from 1992 to 2024. This study uses the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method to see the dynamic relationship between independent variables and dependent variables. The results show that Provincial Minimum Wage has a positive sign and is not significant in the short run, while in the long run, Provincial Minimum Wage has a positive and significant effect on urbanization in Indonesia. Industrialization has a negative sign and is not significant in the short run, as well as in the long, industrialization has a negative sign and is not significant. Population growth has a positive sign and is not significant in the short run, while in the long run it has a significant and positive effect on urbanization in Indonesia.

Abstract

Sustainable productivity has become a strategic issue in the development of Gayo Arabica coffee agribusiness due to increasing production costs, the need for plantation investment, and the growing demand for efficient and sustainable farming practices. This study aims to examine the effects of long-term production costs and plantation investment on sustainable productivity through operational capabilities in the Gayo Arabica coffee agribusiness sector in Aceh, Indonesia. A quantitative approach with an explanatory research design was employed. Data were collected through a survey of Gayo Arabica coffee farmers using a structured Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results indicate that long-term production costs and plantation investment have positive and significant effects on operational capabilities. Furthermore, both variables positively and significantly influence sustainable productivity. Operational capabilities also have a positive and significant effect on sustainable productivity and mediate the relationships between long-term production costs, plantation investment, and sustainable productivity. These findings suggest that improvements in coffee productivity are not determined solely by the amount of production costs and investments incurred, but also by farmers’ ability to effectively manage resources, technology, and operational processes. This study reinforces the Resource-Based View and Dynamic Capability Theory by highlighting the critical role of operational capabilities as a mechanism for transforming resources into sustainable performance. Practically, the findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, cooperatives, and agribusiness stakeholders in formulating strategies to enhance the sustainable productivity of Gayo Arabica coffee through increased investment and the development of farmers’ operational capabilities.

Abstract

This research investigates how education levels, Special Autonomy Funds, and economic growth influence poverty in the districts and cities of Aceh Province. The study uses panel data from 2019 to 2024, obtained from Statistics Indonesia (BPS) and the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance (DJPK), and applies panel regression analysis. Among the models tested, the Random Effects Model (REM) was identified as the most suitable approach. The results reveal that education expenditure and special autonomy funds significantly reduce poverty, whereas economic growth shows a positive but statistically insignificant effect. Combined analysis indicates that education levels, special autonomy funds, and economic growth together have a significant positive impact on poverty levels in Aceh’s districts and cities. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the Aceh government enhance investments in education and improve education quality through effective use of special autonomy funds. Such measures are expected to foster economic growth and contribute to the reduction of poverty across the province
