Abstract

One of the challenges in enhancing the productivity of FISIP UNISRI lecturers is the suboptimal utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support their work, along with inefficient implementation of AI. This service has dual objectives: introducing AI to those unfamiliar with it and providing education on crafting effective prompts to ensure AI-generated responses meet expectations. To achieve these goals, the method involves delivering focused material on AI introduction and prompt creation effectiveness. Results from this program indicate that all 8 lecturers who had not used AI before are now proficient and frequently utilize AI (100%). Additionally, among the 10 lecturers with prior AI experience, 8 individuals (80%) reported the training's benefits in enhancing prompt creation effectiveness, leading to more elaborate and expectation-aligned AI outputs.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic affects all sectors, including agriculture. Challenges faced by the "Belo Singgani" Livestock Farmer Group include a lack of skills in enhancing agricultural productivity at a macro level, resulting in low marketability of agricultural products, and insufficient community engagement and awareness regarding agricultural maintenance and utilization. To address these issues, implementing zero waste farming system technology, specifically integrated farming techniques, is proposed as a solution. The Community-based Empowerment Program (PBM) aims to support the community in implementing a zero waste farming system for economic empowerment post-Covid-19. Methods employed include training, demonstration plots, and community assistance. Results from the community service initiative indicate an 80% increase in participants' knowledge about zero-waste farming systems and 60% of participants successfully utilizing waste to produce organic fertilizer. This is evidenced by the production and utilization of organic fertilizer, contributing to the development of a sustainable zero waste farming system.

Abstract

Most of the residents in Sindangkasih Village earn their livelihoods through farming. The survey results indicate a decrease in the level of agricultural productivity in this village due to a lack of knowledge in agricultural management, leading to a continuous decline in soil fertility. Conversely, the village serves as a livestock center, producing cow dung waste, and houses a grain milling industry that generates rice husk waste, both of which have not been optimally utilized. The goal of this community service is to provide training and assistance to enhance the knowledge of farmer groups in producing soil improvement materials based on local resources. The methods employed in the service activities include counseling, demonstrations on creating soil improvement materials, and group discussions with the participation of 30 individuals. The results of the activity demonstrate an increase in the knowledge and skills of the Sindangkasih Village community in producing soil improvement materials, particularly organic fertilizer, to support agricultural production.

Abstract

Puncak Anabawa is situated in Sialang Jaya Village, District Rambah, Kab. Rokan Hulu, Riau. The objective of this initiative is to enhance the tourism potential of Puncak Anabawa, positioning it as a preferred destination for tourists. One significant challenge faced by our partners is the lack of electricity and lighting sources at Puncak Anabawa, creating difficulties for tourists in finding essential services. To address this issue, we propose the use of solar panels as a sustainable source of electricity and lighting. The installed solar panels at Puncak Anabawa serve as an effective solution, providing power for visitors who come to camp or capture the scenic views at the peak. The execution of these activities involves site surveys, the assembly and installation of solar panels for lighting, and assistance with technology usage. Following the completion of these activities, the solar panels have been successfully installed and function as reliable lighting infrastructure at this tourist location.

Abstract

Purworejo is among the districts with the highest malaria cases in Central Java, reaching 517 cases in 2021 and 544 cases in 2022. Kaligesing District, in particular, recorded the highest number of malaria cases in Purworejo Regency in 2022, with an API of 5.5 per 1000 population. The high incidence of malaria is influenced by various risk factors, including limited public understanding of malaria and community-based surveillance. Additionally, the less-than-optimal control of malaria vectors in the community contributes to this issue. The objective of this service is to reduce malaria cases in Kaligesing District by enhancing the understanding of Village Malaria Cadres and Interpreters (JMD) regarding malaria surveillance and vector control. The method involves providing surveillance assistance and conducting malaria vector control training for cadres and JMD. Results from this program indicate a significant improvement in participants' general knowledge. The paired samples t-test revealed an average score of 58.2% before training and 79.6% after training, with a p-value 0.0001. This demonstrates a substantial difference in participants' knowledge before and after training. Consequently, this activity is deemed successful in enhancing the knowledge of cadres and JMD regarding malaria surveillance and vector control.

Abstract

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a structural disorder of the vertebrae characterized by vertebral curvature exceeding 10°, commonly identified in children aged 10-18 years. Several contributing factors for AIS include genetic factors, abnormalities in connective tissue and skeletal muscles, biomechanical factors, and the use of school bags with associated weight. The primary issue identified from the preliminary study is the relatively high AIS rate, reaching 10.2%, with no previous preventive education programs implemented for students. The targeted participants for this program are students from Muhammadiyah Middle School 5 and Muhammadiyah Middle School 7 in Surakarta. The team conducted AIS prevention health education sessions in April-May 2023 for students aged 12-15 years. The educational activities involved the use of informative materials such as pocket books and videos, covering topics like the definition of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis, physical examination methods for AIS, and preventive measures through posture correction exercises and the proper use of school bags.Results from the influence test, employing the Paired Sample T-Test, indicate a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.023. This implies a significant difference in the average knowledge level before and after receiving education on AIS prevention.

Abstract

Salak is a prominent agricultural commodity in the Sleman Region, particularly in Wonokerto Village, Turi District. Residents of Wonokerto continue to rely on salak as a source of income, selling it in its fresh fruit form. However, salak farmers currently face a challenge with the declining selling value of their produce, especially during the main harvest season. Salak with a low selling value tends to go unsold and may end up rotting. The objective of this community service activity is to increase the added value of processed salak products, such as salak fruit vinegar, and provide licensing assistance for effective marketing. The community service activities are divided into two parts: learning and mentoring. The results of the activity demonstrate that residents can successfully produce salak fruit vinegar. Participants showed great enthusiasm and interest in making salak vinegar, with 44.44% expressing high satisfaction with the training. The salak vinegar product has received certification with P-IRT number 1093404011436-28 and Business Identification Number (NIB) 1610230086544.
