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. Similar studies with a larger population can be conducted to review the effectiveness more comprehensively.

Abstract

Flood disasters in Kuta Village, Central Lombok Regency, are caused by high rainfall intensity, sedimentation, land-use changes, and low public awareness of river conservation. This study evaluates flood mitigation strategies for the Tabelo River through structural and non-structural approach. Hydrological analysis indicates that the river’s cross section is inadequate to handle flood discharge, leading to frequent overflows. Structural measures include sediment dredging to a depth of 1,45 m and constructing 4 m high embankments. Hydraulic modeling using HEC-RAS support these interventions to reduce flooding. Non-structural measures involve community outreach on riverbank regulations based on Ministerial Regulations No. 28 of 2015. This initiative aims to increase public awareness, prevent illegal riverbank constructions, and promote sustainable river management. The enforcement of riverbank regulations is expected to reduce flood risks, improve water quality, and minimize erosion and sedimentation. Additionally, educational posters have been developed to reinforce awareness of flood control and river construction. Integrating structural and non-structural strategies is crucial to mitigating floods and fostering environmental responsibility in Kuta Village.

Abstract

The National Madrasah Research Program serves as a powerful platform for madrasah students to compete at both national and international levels in scientific research through the Madrasah Young Researchers Supercamp (MYRES). This program aims to foster outstanding young talents with extraordinary creative ideas through scientific writing competitions. However, challenges persist, such as limited research skills among teachers, a lack of research-oriented guidebooks, and minimal training and mentoring for madrasah teachers. Students also show low interest in understanding the structure of scientific writing, and their research skills are generally considered underdeveloped. This study aims to optimize the Madrasah Research Program by providing training in proposal writing and exploring current research trends. The method used is Participatory Action Research (PAR), which includes the stages: to know, to understand, to plan, to act, and to change. The participants targeted in this study are mentor teachers and students. Based on the results, the training for teachers and students successfully enhanced the effectiveness of the Madrasah Research Program, particularly through workshops and mentoring in writing scientific articles. This improvement was reflected in several areas: increased potential in scientific writing, better understanding of managing the Madrasah Research Program, a greater number of written proposals, and higher interest and comprehension among participants regarding scientific work. Furthermore, participants demonstrated a stronger commitment to producing quality scientific writing, as evidenced by the availability of research idea documents developed into proposals aligned with the MYRES competition framework.

Abstract

Improving the quality of learning is one of the main focuses in the field of education. One factor that plays a role in enhancing students' understanding is the use of interactive learning media. This media allows students to be more active in the learning process, especially in understanding abstract concepts. However, based on interviews with teachers at State Junior High School 1 Huamual Belakang, it was found that the utilization of interactive learning media at that school is still very minimal. Therefore, this Community Service Program (PKM) aims to train teachers in using PhET, Prezi, Seesaw, and Renderforest applications as interactive learning media that can improve student learning outcomes. The method used in this activity is direct instruction, which includes material presentation, demonstrations of application usage, simulations, and discussion and Q&A sessions. The evaluation was conducted through a questionnaire filled out by teachers and students after the training. The analysis results from the questionnaire indicate that the use of interactive learning media received positive feedback from both teachers and students. Teachers felt more assisted in delivering the material, while students found it easier to understand abstract concepts. Thus, this activity has a positive impact on enhancing teachers' skills in utilizing learning technology and helps students understand the material more effectively. This program is expected to be implemented sustainably in other schools to improve the quality of education.

Abstract

Financial Literacy, Investment, and Digital Financial Information Training at SMAS Garuda Palangka Raya. Increasingly complex economic dynamics encourage people to look for additional sources of income outside their main job. Investment has emerged as a popular alternative. However, being successful in investing is highly dependent on an individual's level of financial literacy, investment experience, and risk profile. This community service aims to increase public awareness, especially among students and teachers at SMAS Garuda Palangka Raya, who often use online shopping applications and pay-later payment schemes. The digital transactions habits among students and teachers that are not balanced with basic knowledge about financial management and investment can trigger excessive consumer behavior. With 31 participants from SMAS Garuda Palangka Raya, the team successfully trained and gave information about how to budget, manage income and also invest using a fintech application. The training evaluation concluded that participants had improved their understanding of financial management and investment. The majority of participants also understand the function of an emergency fund and have a sense of how to deal with investments with irrational levels of profit and how to deal with debt. By implementing financial management, investment, and digital financial information literacy training, the training participant will be able to develop more responsible financial behavior and avoid debt traps, and also in order to prevent high-risk financial practices, such as dependence on high-interest loans to meet consumer needs.
