Abstract

Snacks play an important role in providing energy and other nutritional intake for school-aged children. Children's consumption of snacks is expected to contribute energy and other nutrients that are useful for children's growth. Bread is a food that is popular with people because it has a simple shape, so it is often chosen as a breakfast food before starting daily activities or as a snack to fill the stomach before the actual meal time arrives. Community service activities are carried out at Tahfidzul Qur'an Amanah Middle School in Sei Mencirim, Deli Serdang Regency. The aim is to increase students' understanding of the importance of healthy snacks and the potential dangers of additives contained in processed foods. This activity was carried out on December 7, 2023, including a pre-test to assess students' knowledge about healthy snacks, a comprehensive educational session about the importance of a healthy diet and the dangers of additives, as well as a post-test to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. Apart from that, practical demonstrations were carried out on how to turn bread into healthier snacks, especially chocolate rolls. The results of the pre-test and post-test show a significant increase in students' understanding of healthy snacks. The success of this activity shows the potential of similar interventions in promoting health education and better eating habits among school students.

Abstract

Various land use change phenomena have occurred from time to time, especially in Sidomulyo Village, Stabat District. Changes in land use are occurring in line with the increasing population, which has a direct impact on the increasing need for land, especially agricultural land. Sidomulyo Village is located in the urban area of Stabat City, so according to government regulations regarding land use, Sidomulyo Village must be dominated by community settlements, not agricultural land. For this reason, the USU Community Service team offered a solution to continue to be able to carry out agricultural cultivation on limited land, namely the use of the NFT hydroponic system using an easy-to-use portable greenhouse. This cultivation only requires a small amount of land to cultivate horticultural vegetables. The aim of this activity is to develop an NFT system for hydroponic-based horticultural cultivation in Sidomulyo Village so that the community in Sidomulyo Village, Stabat District, becomes an economically and socially independent community and can become a role model for other farmer groups. The next planned stage that must be carried out is monitoring and evaluating the development of horticultural vegetable cultivation through to harvesting and post-harvest handling.

Abstract

Rice is one of the most important staple crops in Indonesia. Rice is the main source of food for the majority of Indonesia's population, including the Stabat area, which is a small town part of Langkat Regency, North Sumatra Province. Rice itself needs water to grow and develop, and is a plant that is no stranger to pests in the form of birds, mice, javelin, and so on. In dealing with pests, farmers in Stabat usually still use traditional methods by installing scarecrows and using pesticides to kill the pests. The work carried out by always going to the fields takes up a lot of energy and time from farmers. The University of North Sumatra Community Service Team offers a solution, namely making tools to protect rice plants from pests (javelin, aphids, caterpillars, mice, fungi) using pest detection sensors to help farmers in caring for rice to maintain the quality and quantity of rice through spraying pests to reduce losses incurred by farmers, especially during the harvest period. Solar energy-based pest control tool to improve the quality of rice plants to reduce losses. Farmers can also reduce the spraying of rice pests using chemicals so that soil fertility is maintained

Abstract

Rabies is a zoonotic acute infectious disease that can be transmitted from animals to humans through the bite of a rabies-positive dog. Rabies is caused by a Lyssavirus virus, which belongs to the family Rhabdoviridae, and is transmitted through the bite of a rabies-positive animal such as a dog. The disease is often found in dogs, cats, and monkeys. In humans, rabies is transmitted through dog bites, and deaths from rabies occur every year with a case fatality rate of 100 per cent. According to WHO, rabies cases annually reach 60,000 people worldwide, with 95 per cent of cases occurring in Africa and Asia. The incidence rate of rabies is 40 per cent, with most cases occurring in children. Education methods were quasi-experimental to increase children’s knowledge of rabies prevention and control in community service, especially junior high school students and the community. There were 40 respondents involved in this education program, beginning with a pretest. The intervention was conducted in several sessions for in-depth interaction and better understanding. The intervention increased the knowledge of students in the post-test. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistical methods. Observation and documentation were used to strengthen the pre-and post-test findings and observe the level of participation of junior high school children, measured by attendance and engagement. The results showed that the education program could empower junior high school students, increase their knowledge, and encourage active contributions in preventing rabies.

Abstract

A candlenut peeling machine is a technological innovation aimed at improving the efficiency of separating candlenut seeds from their shells. Hand-peeling candlenuts requires a lot of time and effort, and it carries a high risk of damaging the candlenut kernels due to uneven impact. This candlenut peeling machine is equipped with a mechanism that reduces seed damage and increases productivity. The machine can be operated manually or semi-automatically and works on the principle of utilizing pressure and friction to break the shell without damaging the seeds inside. Experimental results show that this machine has a high success rate in separating candlenut seeds from their shells and reduces the number of damaged seeds compared to traditional methods. The use of this machine aims to increase the productivity of candlenut farmers and add value to the candlenut processing industry.

Abstract

Education in rural areas faces challenges such as limited access to technology and outdated teaching methods, hindering student engagement and learning outcomes. This study implements a Smart Classroom initiative at SD Negeri 173637 Narumonda, North Sumatra, aiming to improve educational quality through digital tools and interactive teaching in line with Society 5.0 principles. The project began with observations and a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to assess the school’s readiness. Findings revealed limited technological resources and low teacher proficiency in digital tools but high enthusiasm from students and a positive attitude from teachers. The initiative introduced Android TVs, sound systems, and teacher training on digital pedagogy and Moodle-based e-learning. Initial results show increased student engagement and improved teacher confidence in using technology, despite concerns about sustainability and curriculum adaptation. The program demonstrates the potential of collaboration between educational institutions and communities in transforming rural education. It serves as a scalable model for addressing educational disparities and aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4 on quality education.

Abstract

An independent economy for a village aims to improve the quality of life. One way is by entrepreneurship, namely running your own economic business, creating new business units, and creating innovations that generate profits for the village, by the village, and for the village. Products produced by BUMDes often do not have the identity of the products they produce. The lack of awareness of the village community about their business brand image will make it difficult for buyers to buy the same product in the future. Therefore, through activities and creativity produced by digital screen printing techniques, the products produced by BUMDes finally have a business identity that is easy for buyers to find again, and can even order BUMDes products repeatedly. This service will be carried out in Tanjung Harapan Village, Pangkatan District, Labuhanbatu Regency. The method used in this service is community empowerment in the form of education on the importance of creating local economic independence, as well as the implementation of digital packaging screen printing designs for products produced by BUMDes in the food, beverage, and handicraft sectors.
