Abstract

Rats pose a significant threat to rice farmers, attacking crops at all stages of growth, including storage, with the most severe damage occurring during the reproductive phase. In Bendung Village, Bendung District, rats have caused substantial losses, including crop failures, particularly due to unpredictable weather conditions. The proposed solution involves creating eco-friendly rodent repellents powered by solar energy. The activities include socialization, device design, technology implementation, and evaluation. Evaluation results indicate that 40% of farmers understand the operation of the rodent repellents using frequency waves, and 60% understand their environmental impact. This program has provided farmers with new knowledge about methods to repel harmful rodents.

Abstract

Cases of violence against women and children in Buton Regency often go unreported, resulting in an increasing number of cases each year. Several contributing factors include the lack of community participation in providing information and support to victims, as well as a tendency to blame the victims. This condition discourages victims from fighting for their rights. To address this issue, legal education on the protection of women and children at the village level is essential. The objective of this activity is to enhance community understanding and participation in making Buton Regency free from violence against women and children. The method used in this Community Service activity is legal counseling. Prior to the counseling, the initial step involved identifying and inventorying the problems faced by the community. After conducting legal education through counseling sessions, the community demonstrated an increased understanding of the importance of protecting women and children, as well as their role in preventing violence and providing support to victims. This education is expected to contribute to creating a safer and more supportive environment for women and children in Buton Regency.

Abstract

Preschool-aged children are at risk of various health problems. This community empowerment initiative aims to conduct early detection of health issues in young children while simultaneously educating teachers on simple anthropometric measurements. The activities included mentoring in child anthropometric measurements, health examinations, and discussions of health examination results. The findings from the examination of 58 young children revealed that the most common health problems were dental caries and tonsillitis. Additionally, teachers demonstrated competence in conducting anthropometric measurements, but their capacity for data interpretation needs further improvement. Parental involvement, teacher capacity enhancement, and regular health check-ups are crucial factors in monitoring children's health.

Abstract

Infrastructure development in Indonesia requires many civil engineering graduates, who play an important role in developing sustainable infrastructure to meet current needs. Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) in 2023, the Net Participation Rate (APM) for the 19-24 age group reached 20.63% for higher education, including both undergraduate and diploma programs. To support this development, the Community Service Team of the Faculty of Civil Engineering collaborated with SMA Negeri 3 Jakarta to organize an activity to introduce the role of civil engineering in infrastructure development. This activity aims to familiarize students with the role of civil engineering and assist them in exploring their interests and talents in this field. The method of implementing the activity includes delivering materials, demonstrating equipment in the laboratory, and conducting a questionnaire session to determine the level of student understanding. The results showed that the level of student understanding of civil engineering reached 42% in the "understand" category and 45.8% in the "very understand" category, out of a total of 24 participants.

Abstract

Injuries can occur due to direct physical pressure, excessive use of body parts, or accidental trauma during training and competition. Kinesiotaping is a method that can be used as a preventive and rehabilitative measure for injuries, thus helping athletes improve their performance, skills, and achievements in sports. However, Petanque athletes in South Sulawesi Province still have limited understanding of the application of kinesiotaping as an innovation in the treatment and rehabilitation of sports injuries. Therefore, the purpose of this Community Service (PkM) is to provide education and practice of installing kinesiotaping to Petanque athletes in South Sulawesi Province. The method used is service learning (SL), which consists of three stages: pre-implementation, implementation, and post-implementation. The results of this activity show an increase in athletes' understanding and skills related to kinesiotaping. As many as 76.66% of participants now know about kinesiotaping, while 80% of participants know how to install kinesiotaping. Thus, it can be concluded that there is an increase in athletes' understanding and knowledge regarding the benefits and methods of installing kinesiotaping as an innovation in the prevention and treatment of sports injuries.

Abstract

Muhammadiyah branches and sub-branches, present in every sub-district and village, play a pivotal role in enhancing community welfare and ensuring equitable distribution of resources. To foster economic self-reliance, these units must establish business ventures capable of sustaining organizational operations and generating employment opportunities. The Muhammadiyah Sub-branch of Singosaren, Ponorogo Regency, has been our partner in this community service project. Through this initiative, non-productive members of the Singosaren sub-branch have developed new skills in producing hygienic herbal medicine following Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Moreover, participants have gained essential soft skills in digital marketing to promote their products online.

Abstract

Kebonduren Village has high pineapple production potential, but also produces increasing and unmanaged pineapple peel waste which has the potential to harm the community. One solution is to turn pineapple peel into a tepache probiotic drink, a Mexican drink that is fermented for 3-5 days. Tepache is useful for improving digestion and endurance thanks to its lactic acid bacteria content. The purpose of this community service is to create business opportunities for mothers of the Family Empowerment and Welfare (PKK) in Kebonduren Village. The methods applied include preparation, training, mentoring, and evaluation, with all participants filling out questionnaires before and after the training. The results of the training showed significant improvements; all participants not only understood the content of pineapple peel but were also able to make tepache probiotic drinks and knew their benefits. Before the training, 100% of participants had never made tepache, but after the training, 100% of participants succeeded in producing it. This shows the effectiveness of the training in improving the understanding and skills of PKK mothers, which is very important for the success of the community service program.
