Abstract

This qualitative research examines the implementation of Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) through the ancient tombs and historical sites of the Sultan Barumun era to enhance historical thinking skills among students at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) Barumun. Involving 50 students, 3 history teachers, 4 community guides, and 2 school administrators, the study employed mixed qualitative methods including structured observations (8 sessions), semi-structured interviews (7 participants), focus group discussions (2 sessions with 30 students), document analysis, student learning journals (weekly reflections), and site visits over a four-month period. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis with open and axial coding procedures to identify patterns in student engagement, understanding, and skill development. Results revealed significant improvements in students' historical thinking skills across six dimensions: source analysis and interpretation (7-student increase to Proficient level), historical contextualization (7-student increase), causation and chronological reasoning (16-student increase), evidence-based argumentation (Advanced category achievement), perspective recognition (38 students in Advanced category), and synthesis and conceptualization (1-student progression to Proficient level). Thematic analysis identified six primary themes: enhanced critical engagement (23 occurrences), deepened historical understanding (28 occurrences), active participation and agency (31 occurrences), emotional connection to heritage (26 occurrences), collaborative learning dynamics (29 occurrences), and implementation challenges (17 occurrences). The study demonstrates that IBL through culturally significant historical sites effectively develops students' capacity for historical thinking while fostering emotional connections to local Islamic heritage and regional identity..

Abstract

This community service activity is carried out as a form of academic contribution to enhance the knowledge and skills of the community, especially the Kelompok Ternak Amerta Sari in Kesiut Village, in processing and preserving local resources as alternatives for livestock feed, particularly for Bali cattle. The issues faced by farmers in this area include limited availability of fresh feed, especially during the dry season, and the suboptimal use of local feed materials such as straw, turi leaves, and other agricultural waste. Through this activity, the service team provides training and guidance in feed processing techniques such as fermentation, silage, and the production of complete feed based on local resources. The methods used include counseling, technical demonstrations, and hands-on practice together with the farmer group members. The results of this activity show an increase in the understanding and skills of the community in preserving and processing livestock feed.

Abstract

The International Collaborative Community Service Program, conducted by the Forestry Study Program of the Faculty of Forestry and Environmental Sciences in collaboration with the University of Technology of Mara, Malaysia, aims to: Provide training on utilizing sengon/jabon wood waste (harvested) by converting it into wood pellets as a renewable energy source; and Increase the economic value of community forests by improving the quality of primary wood and creating value-added products from waste. This community service activity is implemented through outreach and practical training on making wood pellets from sengon/jabon waste, introducing the potential of wood waste as a renewable energy source. Techniques for collecting, drying, and shredding wood waste, as well as the process of molding the shredded waste into pellets, are also covered. After this activity, community forest farmer groups can utilize and convert previously unused waste from sengon and jabon felling into wood pellet products. Environmental benefits include more sustainable forest management and reduced wood waste, which can otherwise pollute the environment. The expected benefits for the partner (UiTM) include applying existing knowledge and technology in the context of international community service and strengthening collaborative networks.

Abstract

Background: In tropical regions, women of reproductive age face a double health burden from obstetric risks and endemic infectious diseases. However, population-based data quantifying the interaction between tropical infections and reproductive health outcomes in Indonesia are scarce, hindering the development of effective interventions. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the association between malaria and soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections with adverse reproductive health outcomes among women aged 15-49 in North Sumatra. Methods: A population-based, cross-sectional study was conducted involving 1,420 women selected via stratified random sampling. Data were collected through structured interviews and biological sample analysis. Multivariate logistic regression was used to measure associations after controlling for confounding variables. Results: The overall prevalence of at least one tropical infection was 28.2%. Malaria infection was independently and significantly associated with an increased risk of anemia (Adjusted Odds Ratio [aOR] = 3.15; 95% CI: 2.20–4.51) and a history of preterm birth (aOR = 1.89; 95% CI: 1.15–3.10). STH infection was also a strong predictor of anemia (aOR = 2.10; 95% CI: 1.60–2.75). Implications: These findings provide robust evidence supporting the need to integrate infectious disease control programs into maternal and child health services. Active screening for malaria and STH should be a standard component of antenatal care in endemic areas to mitigate adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Abstract

Strengthening brand identity is a key strategy to enhance SME competitiveness, particularly for New Entrepreneurs (WUB) at the early stages of business development. This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge and skills of WUB members of the Bunda Sejahtera Cooperative, Depok, in creating innovative products, designing effective and informative labeling, and developing market-oriented packaging. The implementation method included interactive lectures, discussions, and hands-on practice in producing a “Café-style Herbal Drink” based on traditional herbs, complemented with modern label and packaging design training. Twenty participants joined the program, dominated by the culinary sector (50%), with capital under Rp 10 million (55%), monthly turnover below Rp 5 million (75%), and social media use limited mainly to WhatsApp (100%). Evaluation was conducted through validity and reliability tests of the questionnaire (SPSS 23) and frequency distribution analysis. All indicators were valid (r > 0.444; p < 0.05) and reliable (Cronbach’s Alpha 0.709–0.797). The average understanding level reached 85%, categorized as “Highly Understand” for Brand Identity, Innovative Products, and Packaging (86%), and “Understand” for Labeling (80%). Practical implementation of innovative product creation reached 86%, surpassing the 65% target. The program resulted in improved knowledge, skills, product health quality, and potential income for partners. This initiative aligns with SDGs 1, 3, 8, 9, 12, and 17, and supports higher education KPI 5. The results show that training integrating theory and practice effectively enhances SME/WUB branding capacity sustainably.

Abstract

Cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among women, particularly in developing countries, largely due to late diagnosis and low participation in early screening programs. Limited knowledge and awareness regarding cervical cancer and Pap smear examinations contribute significantly to delayed detection. This community service activity aimed to increase the knowledge and awareness of the congregation of HKBP Jatisampurna Church, Bekasi, regarding the importance of early detection of cervical cancer through Pap smear examinations. The activity was conducted using interactive educational counseling followed by free Pap smear examination services. Educational sessions covered cervical cancer risk factors, prevention strategies, and the procedures and benefits of Pap smear screening. A total of 50 female congregation members participated in the activity and voluntarily underwent Pap smear examinations. The results demonstrated an improvement in participants’ knowledge and understanding of cervical cancer and the importance of early detection through Pap smear screening. In addition, there was an increased willingness and participation of congregation members in undergoing Pap smear examinations, indicating positive behavioral changes toward preventive health practices. In conclusion, educational counseling combined with direct Pap smear services effectively increased awareness and participation in cervical cancer screening among the HKBP Jatisampurna Church congregation. This community service activity represents a strategic approach to cervical cancer prevention and early detection and highlights the importance of community-based interventions in promoting women’s reproductive health
