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

Abstract

The low level of media literacy among Indonesian communities, combined with the rapid growth of digital media use, has increased public vulnerability to various online risks, particularly illegal online lending practices, digital hoaxes, and personal data misuse. This program aims to analyze the effectiveness of the community outreach initiative “Smart Digital: Protect Your Personal Data and Understand Online Loan Scam Mechanisms” in enhancing public awareness and critical understanding of digital risks. The program was conducted in two sessions using interactive lectures, case-based discussions, simulation activities, and the introduction of the digital verification platform intelligent.digital, involving 56 participants from vulnerable community groups. The evaluation employed a pre-test and post-test design to measure changes in participants' cognitive and psychological aspects. The results indicate a significant improvement in participants' ability to distinguish between legal and illegal online lending services, identify digital hoaxes, and recognize the importance of personal data protection. In addition, participants demonstrated increased risk awareness and proactive behavior in verifying information before making digital decisions. These findings confirm that media literacy is not merely theoretical knowledge, but a fundamental competence required to strengthen public resilience in navigating an increasingly complex and manipulative digital information environment.

Abstract

This qualitative study examines the effectiveness of a community-based digital literacy intervention—Rumah Literasi Digital (Digital Literacy House)—in empowering parents to supervise their children's digital learning in high-density residential neighborhoods. Through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with 32 parents and 8 educators from four community learning centers (CLCs) in Jakarta over an eight-month period, we applied Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis to explore how technology-integrated training programs foster parental empowerment across three dimensions: resource empowerment, critical awareness, and relational empowerment. Findings demonstrate that structured digital parenting interventions significantly enhance parents' capacity to identify and access digital resources, develop critical consciousness about technology risks, and strengthen family communication about online activities. Thematic analysis revealed five overarching themes: (1) Knowledge Construction and Digital Competency Development, (2) Critical Consciousness Formation, (3) Relational Networks and Peer Support, (4) Family Communication Enhancement, and (5) Systemic Barriers and Implementation Challenges. The study contributes evidence-based insights into community-based approaches for addressing the digital divide in resource-constrained urban contexts and offers actionable recommendations for integrating digital parenting literacy into non-formal education frameworks in Indonesia.

Abstract

The implementation of Core Tax, which officially came into effect in Indonesia in January 2025, is part of the tax reform to create a modern, integrated, and digital-based tax administration system. However, the implementation of this system still faces various challenges, especially for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) that have limited digital literacy and tax understanding. This community service activity aims to improve digital tax literacy and tax compliance of MSMEs in the milkfish processing industry center in Gresik Regency, with UD Multi Sarana Niaga (“Bandeng Mentari”) as a partner. The implementation method includes identifying partner needs, socializing the latest tax regulations, assisting in the use of the Core Tax application, and developing a practical guide module for managing Core Tax for MSMEs. The results of the activity indicate an increase in partner understanding of tax regulations, operational capabilities in using the Core Tax system, and the alignment between commercial and fiscal financial reporting. In addition, this activity raises awareness among MSMEs regarding the role of tax in national development and business sustainability. This program is also strengthened through international dissemination with Rajamangala University of Technology Krungthep (Thailand) which is aligned with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) point 9 on industry, innovation, and infrastructure.

Abstract

Freedom of expression is a foundational human right and a core precondition for democratic governance, transparency, and public participation. Nevertheless, international and domestic legal orders consistently recognize that this right is not absolute and may be restricted under certain conditions. This article conducts a qualitative, normative–juridical analysis of restrictions on the exercise of freedom of expression in public, examined through the lens of the rule of law. Drawing on international human rights instruments, particularly Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and its “three-part test”, as well as constitutional and statutory norms in Indonesia, the article develops a set of rule-of-law-based criteria for assessing the legitimacy of restrictions. Qualitative doctrinal analysis is combined with thematic examination of case law, statutory frameworks, and critical commentary. The findings show a persistent tension between justified, narrowly tailored limitations and broader, vague or disproportionate restrictions that risk converting the rule of law into “rule by law”. The article concludes by proposing normative benchmarks and practical safeguards to ensure that any limitations on public expression remain compatible with democratic constitutionalism and the rule of law..

Abstract

This article proposes a hybrid quantitative framework that integrates statistical time‑series modeling and evolutionary machine learning for portfolio optimization. The approach combines an ARIMA–GARCH model to jointly estimate conditional mean and volatility of asset returns with a Genetic Algorithm (GA) that searches for optimal portfolio weights on the basis of model‑implied return–risk profiles. The study adopts a secondary‑data quantitative design, synthesising evidence from prior empirical applications of ARIMA–GARCH forecasting and GA‑based portfolio optimization in equity markets, including the S&P500 index and Indonesian LQ45 constituents. Descriptive analysis confirms strong volatility clustering and leptokurtosis in daily stock index returns, justifying the use of GARCH‑type volatility models. Empirical results from the literature show that hybrid ARIMA–GARCH models significantly outperform standalone ARIMA and buy‑and‑hold strategies in terms of forecasting error and risk‑adjusted performance, while GA‑optimized portfolios achieve superior risk–return trade‑offs compared with traditional mean–variance optimization. These findings support the conceptual integration of ARIMA–GARCH forecasts and GA‑based allocation as a promising direction for portfolio construction, particularly in emerging markets such as Indonesia. The article concludes with implications for portfolio managers, regulators, and higher‑education curricula in quantitative finance and data‑driven investment.

Abstract

Early marriage remains a critical public health and social problem in many Indonesian rural areas and is closely related to low reproductive health literacy, gender norms, and limited access to youth‑friendly information and services. Peer‑based approaches are increasingly recognized as effective in changing adolescents’ knowledge and attitudes regarding early marriage and reproductive health. This quantitative study aimed to analyze the effect of peer counselor training on the knowledge and attitudes of adolescent health cadres toward early marriage prevention in Village X. A quasi‑experimental one‑group pretest–posttest design was applied to 30 adolescent health cadres selected through purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of a structured peer counselor training program on reproductive health, risks of early marriage, communication skills, and basic counseling techniques. Knowledge and attitudes were measured using validated questionnaires before and four weeks after the training. Data were analyzed using paired t‑test or Wilcoxon test according to distribution assumptions. The results showed a statistically significant increase in mean knowledge and attitude scores after training, indicating improved cognitive and affective readiness of adolescent cadres to act as peer counselors. These findings support strengthening community‑based adolescent health promotion through systematic empowerment of peer counselors to prevent early marriage in rural settings.

Abstract

Adolescents in Indonesia increasingly navigate a digitized environment where online and offline risks to sexual and reproductive health intersect. Padangsidimpuan City in North Sumatra has a predominantly young population, yet little evidence exists on how digital reproductive health literacy can be leveraged to prevent sexual violence. This qualitative study adopts a narrative review and document-based content analysis to synthesize empirical and conceptual literature on digital health literacy, adolescent reproductive health education, and sexual and technology-facilitated gender-based violence in Indonesia, with a specific focus on implications for Padangsidimpuan. Data sources include peer‑reviewed journals, government statistics, and policy and NGO reports. The analysis identifies four major themes: (1) rapid digitalization and youth demographics as a double-edged sword, (2) persistent gaps in reproductive health literacy and taboo-laden communication, (3) the high and evolving burden of sexual and online gender-based violence among adolescents, and (4) digital reproductive health literacy as a promising but underutilized strategy for primary prevention. A multi-level framework is proposed, emphasizing the roles of schools, families, health services—especially midwives—and local government in strengthening adolescents’ critical, safe, and rights-based engagement with digital reproductive health information. The findings inform context-sensitive strategies for Padangsidimpuan and highlight priorities for future local qualitative research

Abstract

Research on promotional strategies, brand equity, product innovation, and purchase intention in marketing is a crucial area of study. This research aims to enhance marketing strategies, particularly for MSMEs producing nata de coco in North Minahasa Regency, in supporting and improving their business processes. The study utilizes a sample drawn from the population. Given the large size of the population and the impracticality of studying the entire group, a sample size of 100 respondents was selected, meeting the minimum requirements for sampling. This research employs a causal associative approach to analyze the relationships among variables, both simultaneously and partially. The variables examined in this study include: promotional strategy (X1), measured through indicators such as promotional messages, promotional media, and timing (Kotler & Keller, 2016); brand equity (X2), measured by brand awareness, perceived quality, brand association, and brand loyalty; and product innovation (X3), with indicators including transactional interest, referential interest, preferential interest, and exploratory interest. The results of the study indicate that promotional strategies, brand equity, and product innovation have both partial and simultaneous (combined) effects on the purchase intention of nata de coco MSME products in North Minahasa Regency.
