Abstract

The primary objective of this community service activity is to provide Indonesian Immigrant Workers (IIWs) with a fundamental understanding of biometric data. This study is significant due to the growing reliance on biometric systems across sectors and the vulnerability of IIWs, who often lack awareness of data security risks. Limited digital literacy and inadequate access to legal protections heighten their susceptibility to data misuse and breaches. The research employs a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach, ensuring the involvement of stakeholders from Sanggar Belajar Sentul to design the activities, making them contextually relevant and addressing the specific needs of the target community. The community service successfully educated 23 Indonesian Immigrant Workers, increasing their awareness of the types of biometric data and the associated risks, particularly data leakage. The findings emphasise the importance of such educational initiatives in empowering vulnerable populations to safeguard their personal information. It is recommended that similar programs be expanded to other immigrant communities, integrating hands-on training and leveraging digital platforms for broader outreach. The contributions of this research include the effectiveness of community-based education in improving biometric data literacy and data protection awareness among immigrant workers, which can serve as a model for future educational interventions aimed at strengthening digital literacy in marginalised communities.

Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose caused by insulin resistance and impaired insulin production by pancreatic β-cells due to oxidative stress. Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) has been widely investigated for its antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects, attributed to its alkaloid, flavonoid, phenolic, and saponin contents. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of topical kratom hydrogel as an innovative approach to improving pancreatic histology in type 2 diabetic mice, which has not been previously reported. Methods: Fifteen mice were divided into three groups: untreated diabetic group (DM), diabetic group treated with 5% kratom hydrogel (K5), and diabetic group treated with 15% kratom hydrogel (K15). Treatments were administered for two weeks. Parameters assessed included the percentage of healthy β-cells and acinar cells, as well as histological scoring of islet damage. Data were analyzed using parametric or non-parametric tests according to the normality distribution of each parameter. Results: Administration of 5% kratom hydrogel significantly increased the percentage of healthy β-cells (p<0.05) compared with 15% kratom hydrogel, which unexpectedly showed a lower proportion of healthy cells than the untreated group. Interestingly, the higher dose appeared to exert more toxic effects, whereas the lower dose provided better protective effects. No significant differences were observed in acinar cell parameters or islet damage scores, possibly due to the limited sample size. Conclusion: These findings provide preliminary evidence supporting the systemic therapeutic potential of topical kratom hydrogel, particularly in determining the effective dose and the need for larger sample sizes to obtain more consistent outcomes.
