Abstract

Household waste management at the village level requires behavioral changes, institutional support, and the utilization of waste as a resource. This Community Service activity aims to increase the knowledge, awareness, and skills of the Lancang Garam Village community, Lhokseumawe City, through a circular economy-based Green Waste Management approach towards a zero-waste community. The program was implemented from July to November 2025 with the core activity on November 3, 2025. Methods included initial surveys, interviews and FGDs, outreach, training on waste sorting, organic waste processing, inorganic waste utilization, participatory approaches, education, appropriate technology, and collaboration with officials and community groups. The report results show an increase in understanding and awareness, the implementation of waste sorting from source and processing of organic waste into compost, and the formation of the embryo of a waste management group at the village level. Program achievements also include accepted journal articles, Copyright IPR, online media publications, and an increase in the level of application readiness from the range of 4-6 to 7-8. The findings confirm that participatory education supported by local governance can be the foundation for sustainable, circular economy-based waste management.

Abstract

The development of online commerce provides opportunities for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to expand their markets, increase sales, and reach consumers without geographical boundaries. However, the increase in digital commerce activity is also accompanied by various risks of digital fraud, such as phishing, payment manipulation, fake accounts, malicious links, and data theft. MSMEs play a crucial role in the digital commerce ecosystem because they not only act as sellers but also as managers of accounts, customer data, transaction communications, and payments. This Community Service (PkM) activity aims to increase the knowledge and awareness of MSMEs in Batam City in recognizing and preventing digital fraud in online commerce activities. The activity was carried out through lectures, discussions, and simulations of digital fraud cases involving 30 MSMEs. Evaluation was carried out using pre-test and post-test questionnaires consisting of 20 multiple-choice questions. The results showed an increase in participants' knowledge after being provided with education. The average score increased from 58.4 ± 12.6 in the pre-test to 84.7 ± 9.3 in the post-test, or an increase of 26.3 points. The proportion of participants with good knowledge increased from 13.3% to 63.3%, while the proportion with poor knowledge decreased from 46.7% to 6.7%. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank test showed p < 0.001, indicating a statistically significant increase in knowledge after the education. Satisfaction evaluation also showed a positive response with an average score of 4.0–4.7. This activity demonstrates that education combined with discussions and case simulations can be an effective strategy to improve digital fraud prevention literacy for MSMEs.

Abstract

Perimenopause and cervical cancer remain neglected reproductive health issues among informal women workers in Indonesia, including traders in traditional markets. This community service activity aims to increase women's awareness of perimenopause and early detection of cervical cancer through Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA/IVA) education at Pasar Beringharjo, Yogyakarta. The activity used a one-group pre-test post-test design involving women of perimenopausal age, women of childbearing age, and female traders as participants. Health education was delivered through lectures, leaflets, and interactive discussions, followed by a question-and-answer session. Knowledge was measured before and after the intervention using a structured questionnaire. Results showed the mean knowledge score increased from 68.5 (pre-test) to 89.2 (post-test), with a paired t-test result of t(29) = -10.524 and p < 0.05, indicating a statistically significant improvement. The activity successfully increased participants' understanding of perimenopausal changes, cervical cancer risk factors, and the importance of routine VIA examination. Sustainable collaboration among health institutions, market management, and the community is recommended to maintain awareness and encourage regular screening behavior.

Abstract

Preschool age is a sensitive period in which the ability to regulate emotion begins to take shape, while at the same time the consumption of sweet foods and sugar-sweetened beverages among Indonesian children remains high. This study aims to examine the relationship between sweet food consumption and emotional regulation in preschool children. The study used a qualitative descriptive design in the form of a narrative literature review. Eleven primary articles published within the last eight years were retrieved from Medscape, NCBI, and Google Scholar, and were complemented by national survey reports and institutional guidelines. The articles were selected using inclusion criteria, extracted into a synthesis matrix, and analysed thematically. The review indicates a consistent relationship between the two variables: frequent and excessive intake of added sugar is associated with blood glucose fluctuation, altered dopaminergic response, impulsivity, difficulty in maintaining attention, tantrums, and emotional lability, whereas controlled intake accompanied by responsive parenting supports better emotional regulation. Family feeding practices, the school environment, and health education act as contextual factors that strengthen or weaken this relationship. Parents, teachers, and health workers are therefore advised to manage children's sugar intake while providing emotional guidance. Longitudinal designs are recommended for further studies.

Abstract

Unsafe household medicine management can compromise treatment, facilitate misuse, and contaminate the environment. This community service activity delivered DAGUSIBU (Obtain, Use, Store, and Dispose) education to 33 women aged 35-70 years in RT 01/RW 01, Kemiri Jaya, Beji, Depok, Indonesia, on 9 July 2026. The two hour program comprised a 17item true/false pre-test, interactive counseling supported by a leaflet and banner, discussion, a post test, and blood pressure screening. Baseline findings showed marked gaps: 96.97% did not interpret twice daily dosing as approximately 12-hour intervals; 90.91% did not identify the correct eye-drop technique; 90.91% would automatically refrigerate liquid medicines rather than follow the label; and 60.61% disposed of medicines in domestic waste. The source report documented corrected understanding after education across all four domains, including antibiotic access, dosing intervals, original container storage, and disposal preparation. However, item level posttest counts, paired total scores, instrument validity, and inferential statistics were unavailable; therefore, the magnitude and statistical significance of change could not be established. The activity identified concrete household medicine safety gaps and provided a locally relevant pharmacist led response. Future programs should retain anonymized paired scores and assess whether correct practices are sustained.

Abstract

Language in Maharashtra has evolved from a marker of cultural identity into a powerful instrument of political mobilization. Within the broader framework of Indian federalism, regionalism and identity politics, this study examines how Marathi is used to construct political narratives, shape public opinion and redefine regional identity. The origins of contemporary linguistic politics can be traced to the Samyukta Maharashtra Movement and the formation of Maharashtra in 1960, which formalized Marathi identity and generated expectations of social and economic mobility among Marathi speakers. However, the gap between symbolic recognition and material opportunities, particularly in Mumbai, created conditions for the politicization of Marathi identity. Adopting a qualitative approach and discourse analysis of political speeches, party manifestos, media narratives and political campaigns, the study examines Shiv Sena and the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), with particular attention to Bal Thackeray and Raj Thackeray. The findings indicate that language is used to construct “us–them” distinctions and portray Marathi speakers as economically disadvantaged and culturally vulnerable. Linguistic mobilization cannot be explained by migration or demographic change alone; rather, economic insecurity, labour-market transformation, employment competition and perceived threats have been politically transformed into identity-based grievances. The study further identifies a shift from Bal Thackeray’s emotionally charged rhetoric to Raj Thackeray’s media-oriented and confrontational style, demonstrating the adaptability of linguistic politics to changing communication technologies and social contexts.

Abstract

MIS BI Al-Nazhar, a primary school in Kecamatan Tanjung Pura, Kabupaten Langkat, North Sumatra, faces persistent water and sanitation challenges in the aftermath of local disaster events, as its groundwater source is contaminated by salt intrusion and bacterial contamination originating from brackish soil. This community service program, entitled "Empowering School Sanitation Post-Disaster: Development of Water Filters and Soap Production in MIS BI Al-Nazhar, Langkat Regency," was designed to strengthen the school's sanitation resilience through the development of a simple household-scale water filtration system and training in lemongrass (sereh) soap production. The program was implemented in four stages: introduction and socialization, technology transfer and installation, hands-on training and mentoring, and monitoring and evaluation. A two-tank filtration system equipped with silica sand, manganese greensand, and activated carbon media, supported by a 3-way valve and a bypass line, was installed to reduce turbidity, iron and manganese content, odor, and taste in the school's water supply. In parallel, teachers and students were trained to produce lemongrass soap from palm oil, soybean oil, and citronella extract through the saponification process using NaOH. A production feasibility analysis showed that the cost of goods sold (Harga Pokok Produksi/HPP) of the soap was Rp4,056.89 per bar, generating a profit of Rp943.11 per bar at a selling price of Rp5,000, with a break-even point (BEP) of approximately 559 bars per month. The program is expected to improve access to safe water, strengthen hygiene behavior among students and teachers, and open an economically sustainable micro-enterprise opportunity for the school community.

Abstract

Kwala Gebang Village in Langkat Regency is a coastal community whose livelihood strongly depends on the capture fishery of rebon shrimp, the main raw material for a traditional shrimp paste (terasi) that has been produced through natural fermentation across generations, including by the Kelompok Tani Hutan (KTH) Kuala Indah. A flood disaster that struck the village at the outset of the program disrupted the production, distribution, and income of the partner group, prompting the International Community Service Collaboration Program between the Faculty of Vocational Studies, Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU) and Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Cawangan Pulau Pinang, Malaysia, to focus on post-flood economic recovery through three main solutions: strengthening business management, improving packaging quality using a vacuum sealer and official labeling, and product diversification through the development of shrimp paste powder. This study employs a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, covering situation analysis, training module development, procurement of production equipment, hands-on training, and mentoring. As of the 80% fund-disbursement stage, the program has completed initial coordination and needs mapping, training module preparation, procurement of most supporting materials and equipment, and part of the training and mentoring activities for KTH Kuala Indah members. The results show improvement in hygienic packaging standards, the emergence of a new value-added product in powdered form, and strengthened financial management capacity among the partner group. The program is expected to support post-flood economic recovery while contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 1, 8, 9, 12, 14, and 17).

Abstract

Whiteboards have been a staple in offices, universities, studios, and schools since the 1990s—nearly 40 years after their invention by photographer and Korean War veteran Martin Heit. They quickly eclipsed blackboards in popularity because they are easy to write on and erase, and are suitable for individuals with dust or chalk allergies. Today, whiteboards are generally preferred over blackboards, largely because they offer a more modern, cleaner aesthetic. Unlike writing on a blackboard with chalk, using a whiteboard keeps your hands clean, and the text produced by markers appears much clearer. However, their relatively high cost is a distinct disadvantage. A defining feature of a whiteboard is its smooth, glossy surface, which facilitates easy writing; however, not all whiteboards are made from the same material. Each material possesses unique characteristics that dictate how the board is used. There are six common materials used for whiteboard surfaces, one of which is melamine. Melamine boards consist of plywood coated with melamine, resulting in a smooth, shiny finish. These boards are often used for decorative purposes to enhance a room's appearance. While white is the most common color, they also come in green, blue, red, and cream. Melamine boards are typically available in standard plywood sheet sizes but are thinner, usually measuring 2–3 mm in thickness. To address the issue of cost, this article offers a solution for building your own whiteboard using easily accessible materials ranging from a basic, makeshift board to one that rivals or exceeds the quality of commercial products. Constructing a whiteboard from a melamine board requires a power drill. Once you have purchased a white melamine board, you can mount it directly onto a wall; the drill is needed to install wall anchors (fischers) to hold the mounting screws securely. At a fraction of the cost of a store-bought whiteboard, you now have a homemade whiteboard of comparable quality.

Abstract

Stingless bee (Trigona sp.) cultivation in Tanjung Pasir Village, Pangkalan Susu, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra has become an important economic activity managed by the Hutan Maju Bersama Trigona Farmer Group since 2024, through a sustained international community service program in collaboration with Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Terengganu, Malaysia. In its third year, the partner group faced a shift in problems from colony quantity toward harvesting efficiency and production capacity: the honey suction device used lacked suction control and an integrated filtering system, causing slow, unhygienic harvesting and occasional bee loss, while limited beehive boxes (lots) restricted colony-splitting expansion. This activity aimed to design and implement a honey suction machine with an integrated filter and to provide additional beehive lots for colony splitting. The method included needs assessment, machine design and fabrication at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences Laboratory, Universitas Sumatera Utara, field trials, user training, and distribution of new beehive lots. Field testing on 15 August 2026 showed the machine successfully performed suction and filtration simultaneously, reducing manual filtering steps and improving honey cleanliness. The number of beehive lots owned by the group increased from around 20 to 40, with several new lots showing successful colony development. This program strengthens sustainable livelihood and supports SDGs 2, 8, and 17.
