Abstract

Tomatoes are a horticultural commodity that is widely cultivated, especially in Bandung Regency. Tomato plants are widely cultivated because they have a fairly high economic value and are in demand by the community because of their many health benefits, among them are vitamin and antioxidant content. Currently, tomato production is declining, so education and assistance are needed to increase the potential for results. The target of this activity is tomato farmers in four sub-districts in Bandung Regency. The purpose of this activity is to increase farmers' knowledge in cultivating hybrid tomatoes at various altitudes. The activity started with counseling, field practice, and evaluation of the results of the activity. As a result of this activity, farmers have additional knowledge in appropriate technology for tomato plants in their respective locations. After the evaluation process, tomato production increased significantly, both in terms of quantity and quality, so it had a positive impact on the economic welfare of farmers.

Abstract

Bulusari Village in Banyuwangi Regency, despite its abundant water resources, faces a significant clean water crisis that adversely affects the quality of life and health of its residents. This community service program was initiated to address this crisis through the implementation of environmentally friendly hydraulic pump technology. The primary objective was to provide a sustainable solution for clean water delivery to the rural community. The project was carried out in several stages, including community socialization, elevation measurement, hydraulic pump design, preparation of tools and materials, pump assembly, trial runs, application, and ongoing evaluation and monitoring. The hydraulic pump was designed to lift water up to 150 meters by harnessing the energy from water falling from an 8-meter height. The implementation of the hydraulic pump in Bulusari Village has had a significant positive impact, resulting in increased access to clean water, improved health outcomes, and enhanced environmental awareness among villagers. The pump has consistently delivered water at a rate of 4.8 liters per minute, proving its effectiveness. Guidelines for periodic monitoring and evaluation have been established to ensure the long-term functionality of the pump. This project has successfully alleviated the clean water crisis in Bulusari Village, thereby improving the villagers' quality of life and health.

Abstract

In Indonesia, the government is trying to safeguard and protect children from sexual crimes. Sexual crimes are particularly vulnerable to students with special needs. These students have limitations and minimal access to sexual education, making them frequent targets of sexual harassment and abuse. Students with special needs are at a higher risk of becoming victims of sexual violence due to their unique vulnerabilities. The impact of such abuse includes inferiority, anxiety, panic, and even depression. This must be addressed immediately, as it can disrupt the psychological and emotional development of students with special needs, hindering their potential to thrive and compete in the increasingly competitive digital era. The aim of this community service activity is to provide digital media with a local Moerija cultural approach to introduce sexual and application-based education. The method used in these community service activities is participant active learning, ensuring engagement and practical application. The results obtained are the development of an application designed to prevent sexual violence, utilizing a culturally relevant Moerija approach to raise awareness and enhance protective measures.

Abstract

Sriwulan Village, located in Limbangan District, Kendal Regency, is home to both cattle farmers and several Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The village has a farmer group named Ngudi Kawruh, managing around 20 cows. However, cow dung in the area has become a source of air pollution, and the four MSMEs still rely on Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) for production. One effective solution to this issue is converting cow dung into biogas, which offers both environmental and economic benefits. This community service program aims to introduce appropriate technology for processing cow dung into biogas using biodigesters. The biogas is stored in portable containers, such as truck inner tires, while the biodigester output, in the form of slurry, is utilized as solid organic fertilizer. The program provides education on these concepts through posters, videos, demonstrations, and YouTube links to ensure broad community understanding. By implementing this technology, the program not only addresses environmental concerns and reduces dependence on LPG but also significantly enhances the economic potential of both the villagers and MSME entrepreneurs, promoting sustainable development.

Abstract

KSM SAB BAHANA in Ciawi, Bogor is a Community Self-Help Group (KSM) for Clean Water Facilities (SAB) BAHANA located in Kampung Tipar RT 01, RW 04 Ciawi. KSM SAB BAHANA was formed based on Decree Number 36 on December 31, 2019. Currently, there are significant problems in managing clean water services, especially in terms of customer registration and management of financial reports which are still done manually. This condition causes inefficiency and has the potential to cause recording errors. To overcome these challenges, community service is carried out by introducing an Android-based application designed to improve the efficiency and accuracy of financial management. The purpose of this service is to provide a technological solution that facilitates customer registration and management of financial reports effectively. The methods used include data collection, application design, socialization, implementation, evaluation, and ongoing maintenance to ensure the successful implementation of the application. The evaluation results show that 86 percent of the community strongly agree with the use of this application, which confirms that this program has succeeded in helping residents and SAB BAHANA officers manage customer reports and data better and more sustainably.

Abstract

Probiotic drinks are needed to enrich the microbiome in the digestive organs. Increasing age causes a decrease in the ability of cells to metabolize food, resulting in various degenerative diseases. Tepache probiotic drinks, made from pineapple skin, contain magnesium minerals for bone health, vitamins A, B, and C. Through fermentation, it is enriched by lactic acid bacteria which play a role in helping food metabolism in the intestines and increasing the immune response. Counseling on making tepache probiotic drinks for Family Empowerment and Welfare (PKK) mothers RW 11 Pamulang Timur is expected to improve public health and stimulate the household economy. The method of implementing community service is carried out by means of socialization of the benefits of probiotic drinks, training in making tepache probiotic drinks, financial management and marketing training, and production assistance. Tepache drinks are made from pineapple skin fermented for 24 hours using brown sugar, water, cloves, and cinnamon. The success of fermentation is indicated by the presence of white grains on the surface of the liquid. The fermentation results are filtered and can be consumed directly. The results of the counseling produced a tepache drink product that has been routinely consumed by PKK mothers RW 11 Pamulang Timur, and has an impact on reducing knee pain, tension, blood sugar, uric acid, and cholesterol. The results of household-scale sales have not shown significant profits, but simple calculations if pursued will increase household income.

Abstract

The training program on item response theory (IRT) analysis using R Studio for teachers in Manokwari aims to enhance their understanding of modern test theory and their ability to use R Studio as an analytical tool. Many teachers are unfamiliar with these concepts, so the training provides in-depth knowledge and practical applications to analyze test data and estimate student abilities. This interactive, practice-based training involved 30 teachers and included socialization, training, technology application, mentoring, and evaluation of R Studio in test item analysis. The results showed a significant improvement in teachers' knowledge and skills. Before the training, 90 percent of teachers were unfamiliar with R Studio, and 70 percent lacked understanding of IRT. After the training, 70 percent of teachers could use R Studio for student answer analysis, and 80 percent demonstrated a good grasp of modern test theory concepts. This improvement reflects the program's success in achieving its objectives and has the potential to enhance the quality of educational assessments in Manokwari. By utilizing IRT analysis more effectively, teachers can make better-informed decisions in the teaching and learning process, ultimately contributing to improved educational outcomes.

Abstract

The optimisation of water table management is a significant strategy to prevent the risk of fire and peat subsidence. Peatlands, unique ecosystems, are frequently damaged by drainage due to human activities. The hydrological restoration program aims to protect and manage peat ecosystems, thereby contributing to the enhancement of the resilience of fire-free villages. The success indicators of peat rewetting can be indicated by a shallow water table and a slow rate of subsidence. The objective is to optimise the water table management to prevent fires and subsidence, while increasing community awareness of its importance in agriculture. The implementation of Community Service Activities was conducted in Punggur Kecil Village, involving the Farmer Group in Parit Toom Jaya and the Fire Care Community Parit Rahmat group in the Kapuas River-Punggur Besar River Peat Hydrological Unit. These activities included socialization, educational sessions, and field visits to peatlands to gain insight into the concept of peat rewetting techniques. Practical training was also provided on measuring and monitoring water tables, followed by regular evaluations to assess progress. This strategy not only enhances agricultural productivity but also reduces fire risks and land subsidence, providing a sustainable, long-term solution for peatland ecosystem management.

Abstract

Yobeh Village, located in the Sentani district, consisted of 3 community units (RW) and 7 neighborhood units (RT) with a total of 173 families and 692 residents. A portion of the community, approximately 56 families with around 246 residents, lived along the shores of the island in the Lake Sentani area. The waters of Lake Sentani served as the "center of life" for the community, where the lake was utilized for fishing, disposing of household waste, and fulfilling bathing, washing, and sanitation needs. It was also used as a source of raw water for drinking and other clean water needs. This community service activity aimed to provide the community with an understanding of the importance of clean water for life. It also equipped them with the skills to assemble and operate filtration technology equipment using four filtration tubes arranged in series. Tube 1 contained bio foam media, tube 2 contained polypropylene media, tube 3 contained Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) media, and tube 4 contained Chlorine, Taste, and Odor (CTO) media. Testing the quality of the filtered water demonstrated very significant improvements, meeting the requirements for hygienic clean water suitable as raw water for drinking purposes.
