Abstract

The high public interest in becoming migrant workers is motivated by the narrowing number of available jobs and the low wages of domestic workers. This is the reason why migrant workers dare to take the risk to leave their home country and work abroad. However, migrant workers often find challenges and obstacles in financial management of their income while abroad. The financial management constraints faced by migrant workers are triggered by the low level of financial literacy, so a training program related to financial literacy is needed as an effort to improve financial management skills for migrant workers. This service program focuses on investment strategies for the welfare of migrant workers. This program aims to broaden the insights and knowledge of migrant workers regarding the correct investment strategy as an effort to achieve economic independence. The training method carried out in this service program is based on interactive training related to appropriate investment strategies. The results of this study are expected to improve the financial literacy of migrant workers, especially in the context of investing, so that it can be used as a provision for migrant workers to improve their economy sustainably in the long term.

Abstract

Science learning, which is often theoretical at SMP Negeri 14 Ambon, is less connected to local biological potential. As a result, teachers and students' understanding of honey bees native to Maluku, both from the morphological aspect to the cultivation technology, is still limited. This service activity aims to increase the capacity of teachers and students on the topic as contextualized science enrichment material. The methods used include counseling, training, and hands-on demonstrations on morphological characters and bee cultivation technology. The results showed a significant increase in participants' enthusiasm and understanding. Teachers obtained new relevant teaching materials, while students were able to connect biology concepts with practical applications. Thus, this pengabdin activity was carried out to integrate local content and increase the relevance of science learning.

Abstract

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is an important food crop with significant economic and social value, particularly in tropical regions. However, its productivity is often affected by pest attacks, which are frequently not detected early due to the limitations of traditional monitoring systems. This study aims to develop a pest monitoring system for sweet potatoes by utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) technology and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). IoT enables real-time monitoring of environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and light, while GIS is used to map the spatial distribution of pests. By integrating these two technologies, pest control can be carried out more efficiently, accurately, and environmentally friendly. This system provides early notifications to farmers regarding pest infestations, allowing for quick and effective decision-making in pest management. Additionally, the use of IoTand GIS isexpected to reduce excessive pesticide use andenhance the sustainability of sweet potato production. This article offers an innovative solution for pest management based on spatial-temporal data in dryland agroecosystems.

Abstract

This article discusses a strategic approach to improving taxpayer compliance among restaurant owners in Surabaya through a method known as “shadowing.” The peddling approach involves direct supervision and education, where tax officials engage with business operators to increase their understanding of tax obligations and improve their accounting systems. The results show a significant increase in transparency and accountability in tax reporting, leading to a reduction in tax evasion. Despite the successes, challenges remain, particularly regarding resistance from some business owners and a lack of understanding of tax responsibilities. Continued efforts from the government are essential to provide better education and create an enabling environment for tax compliance. This study concludes that a collaborative ecosystem between government and businesses can foster a fair, transparent, and sustainable tax environment, ultimately contributing to regional development and community welfare.

Abstract

Persons with disabilities in Indonesia still face significant challenges in achieving independence due to discriminatory views and limited access to various services, including assistive devices. In Surabaya City, with a substantial number of persons with disabilities, the Social Services Department of Surabaya City, through its social rehabilitation program, strives to improve their quality of life by distributing assistive devices. This program involves systematic stages, starting from receiving reports, conducting field surveys, measuring assistive devices, to distributing aid to recipients in need. The program successfully distributed various assistive devices, such as wheelchairs, hearing aids, and prosthetic limbs, with a total of 254 units during the writer's internship period (September 23 - December 31, 2024). As a result, recipients demonstrated significant improvements in independence, both in carrying out daily activities and in interacting with others. Additionally, the families of the recipients also experienced benefits in the form of reduced burdens, as family members who were previously fully dependent now have greater abilities to manage their own needs. This program is expected to continue to grow and provide further solutions to help build an inclusive and empowered society for persons with disabilities in Surabaya.

Abstract

The global prevalence of congenital defect reaches 0.992 per 1,000 live births, with a high incidence rate also observed in Jember Regency, particularly in Rambipuji District. Nutrition intake, including protein, is essential to prevent congenital defect, but many sufferers come from families with poor nutritional intake. To prevent congenital defect through education and assistance in planting healthy crops for family nutrition and mapping cases in Jember Regency as a promotive and preventive measure. This study design is a quasi-experimental using pretest and posttest. Participants consisted of 30 married couples aged 14-49 years. The intervention included two educational sessions on congenital defect and the management of healthy crops to be processed into nutritious food. A healthy food recipe book was provided, followed by a cooking demonstration by each participant. The knowledge of couples of reproductive ages increased from pretest to posttest with an average increase of 22.5. Statistical analysis using Wilcoxon showed a significant difference in the knowledge of couples of reproductive ages after the intervention (p=0.000). Providing education and training effectively increases knowledge and skills in managing food for family nutrition among couples of reproductive ages.
