Abstract

Screening of diabetic foot neuropathy and vasculopathy using monofilament and Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) devices is a crucial step in the early detection of potential complications in diabetic patients. These screening tools are simple yet effective methods to assess sensory loss and peripheral arterial disease, which are major risk factors for the development of diabetic foot ulcers. Early identification allows for timely interventions that can significantly reduce the risk of severe complications such as infections, gangrene, and lower limb amputations. In addition to regular screening, prevention strategies should be implemented consistently. These include maintaining good glycemic control through routine blood sugar monitoring, adhering to a balanced and regulated diet, and engaging in regular physical activity. One recommended form of exercise is diabetic foot exercise, which helps improve blood circulation in the lower limbs and enhances nerve function, thereby reducing the risk of foot-related complications. Comprehensive foot care education, combined with these preventive measures, plays a vital role in improving the quality of life of individuals with diabetes and minimizing the burden of diabetic foot disease on both patients and the healthcare system.

Abstract

Mangrove rehabilitation using ecological and hydrological approaches presents a viable solution for restoring abandoned ponds and enhancing coastal ecosystem health in Percut Sei Tuan, North Sumatra. This study examines the impact of a community-driven initiative focused on the re-establishment of native mangrove species, including Rhizophora apiculata and Avicennia marina, within degraded coastal areas. Over the first year, the project achieved a survival rate of 80% for planted seedlings, contributing to increased biodiversity and improved sediment stabilization. Hydrological assessments indicated significant enhancements in water quality, with reductions in turbidity levels by 30% and increases in dissolved oxygen concentrations by 25% post-rehabilitation. Community involvement has been crucial, with over 150 local participants engaged in planting, monitoring, and sustainable livelihood activities objectivity. Training sessions have led to the development of alternative income sources, including sustainable aquaculture practices that align with mangrove conservation efforts. Preliminary economic assessments indicate a potential income increase of 20% for households involved in traditional fishing practices compared to ecotourism and aquaculture. This initiative not only restores ecological functions but also fosters community empowerment and economic resilience. Future directions include further species diversification, enhanced integration of ecotourism, and the establishment of adaptive management frameworks to ensure the long-term sustainability of mangrove ecosystems.

Abstract

The cultivation of Trigona honey bees by the "Kelompok Tani Peduli Pesisir" (Coastal Care Farmer Group) has strong potential for rapid development due to the abundant availability of food plants that support the life of kelulut bees (Trigona spp.), particularly from home gardens in mangrove areas. The diversity of plant species is crucial for ensuring a steady supply of nectar, pollen, and resin, which directly impacts honey production. However, limited community knowledge about suitable plant species and the lack of plant variety pose challenges to sustainable Trigona spp. beekeeping. This community service initiative aims to introduce potential food sources for kelulut bees and provide plants to enrich the variety of feed sources, ensuring availability year-round. Activities include 1) preparing plant materials and planting media, 2) planting fruit trees, and 3) conducting educational outreach. As a result, farmers’ knowledge and the diversity of beneficial perennial plants such as mango (Mangifera indica), jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus), and water apple (Syzygium aqueum) have increased, contributing to the sustainable development of Trigona spp. bee cultivation.

Abstract

The focus of the service was teaching at the Usaha Bersama Tani Ternak Joint Business Group, Tadukan Raga Village, STM Hilir District, Deli Serdang Regency. In this group, many dairy goat farmers produce milk. Product innovation from goat milk is needed because, if we rely solely on the basic product — milk — there are limitations for consumers who buy it. In 2023, in the Joint Business group, training was conducted to make ice cream from goat's milk. The innovation of processing milk into ice cream will expand the product's marketing range and increase its shelf life. In 2024, assistance was provided to this group to develop ice cream with prebiotic and probiotic innovations. This is a regular one-year service, carried out in July 2024, and assistance will continue until December 2024. It is hoped that after the service, processing goat's milk into ice cream will be carried out intensively. Given that the air in North Sumatra is getting hotter, ice cream products will be in high demand. In addition, this community service activity also improves the Main Performance Indicators (IKU) of Higher Education, namely IKU 2, 3, and 5.  Mandatory outputs of this community service activity program include: 1) Scientific publications in abdimas journals/service journals with ISSN / National Journal Proceedings, 2) videos, and 3) disseminated through electronic/print media. Additional outputs include the production of probiotic prebiootic ice cream and participation in a national seminar, as well as the development of probiotic prebiotic ice cream products in Deli Serdang Regency.
