Abstract

The scarcity of fertilizers in Indonesia makes it difficult for farmers to find alternative fertilizers, the causes are subsidized fertilizers which are difficult to obtain, and the high cost of non-subsidized fertilizers making it burdensome for farmers. Most of the community professionals in Sungai Ular Village are farmers and the lack of availability of fertilizers and the heavy economic value of inorganic fertilizers. Based on the potential of Sungai Ular Village, Secanggang District, the raw materials for making organic fertilizer can utilize Hydrilla verticillata plants, livestock faeces and rice straw. The organic fertilizer produced can be used for traditional cultivation. The results of this community service activity, in addition to ready-to-use organic fertilizers, are horticultural crops such as kale, spinach, curly red chillies, tomatoes, basil, etc. The resulting horticultural crops are expected to increase partner agricultural yields which can increase income and support the entrepreneurial spirit of partners in optimally utilizing village potential. Community Service Activities can empower the community to realise independence and prosperity and maintain environmental sustainability by reducing the use of inorganic fertilizers (chemical fertilizers) by optimally utilizing the potential of Sungai Ular Village, Secanggang District, Langkat Regency.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to find out how interpersonal communication is carried out in doctor consultations with patients via WhatsApp media. The method used in this research uses qualitative methods. The theory used in this research is Everret M Rogers' theory of diffusion of innovation which explains that society can accept communication technology as an innovation and spread it widely within that society. The research results show that in interpersonal communication between doctors and patients via WhatsApp media, health technology is a way to make their work more efficient. Currently the world is experiencing a digital era where all human activities use information technology. Almost all fields use information and communication technology for their respective interests, one of which is the health sector. Currently, interaction between patients and doctors no longer needs to be done directly—for minor illnesses—because of information technology. In this research, the author wants to know the effectiveness of using information technology, especially WhatsApp, in the consultation process for minor illnesses between doctors and patients at the Klinik Mitracheck. The author hopes that this research can determine the effectiveness of interpersonal communication felt by patients and doctors in using WhatsApp as a consultation medium.

Abstract

ntroduction: Traditional postpartum care practices remain an integral aspect of maternal and child health in indigenous communities. Mararang tradition is a postpartum care tradition that continues to be widely practiced among Batak postpartum mothers, as it is believed to accelerate maternal and infant recovery through heat therapy. . This study aims to examine the historical evolution of the mararang tradition, its cultural significance, and its implications for maternal and infant health. Methods: A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed to explore the experiences of postpartum mothers practicing the mararang tradition. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with postpartum mothers, their husbands, traditional leaders, and healthcare providers in North Sumatra Province. Source triangulation, methodological triangulation, and data analysis were applied in this research. Thematic and content analyses were conducted to explore key dimensions of health beliefs, communication, and the transformation of the mararang tradition over time. Results: Participants ascribed thermal balance, comfort, and social support to mararang, while acknowledging potential risks from heat and smoke. Communication between families and midwives produced adaptive forms (e.g., moderated heat, improved ventilation, time?limited sessions), balancing cultural continuity with safety. We synthesise a conceptual model showing how explanatory beliefs, family authority, and professional guidance co?produce negotiated care. Conclusion: Mararang persists through culturally safe adaptations facilitated by respectful dialogue; practical safeguards (distance from heat source, ventilation, exclusion post?caesarean) can be embedded within routine postpartum care. Programmes should integrate culturally anchored counselling and risk?mitigation protocols, enabling context?sensitive maternal and newborn care.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the optimization of local regulations on No Smoking Areas (KTR) in creating a balance between human health and environmental preservation in North Labuhanbatu Regency. The research employs a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation studies. The research informants consist of the health department, local government, active smokers, and non-smoking communities. The findings indicate that the implementation of the local regulation on KTR has not been effective. This ineffectiveness is reflected in the widespread presence of cigarette advertisements in public areas, the high prevalence of smokers, and the increase in respiratory disease cases after the regulation was enacted. Although the local government has made optimization efforts through the installation of no-smoking stickers and banners, its implementation still faces several challenges, including limited supervision, low public awareness, resistance from the tobacco industry, and weak coordination among stakeholders. Therefore, an integrated strategy based on supervision, education, law enforcement, and technological innovation is required to enhance the effectiveness of KTR implementation.
