Abstract

Training and assistance in the creation of scientific articles based on artificial intelligence (AI) aims to improve the scientific writing skills of prospective teachers at Mandalika Education University. The program involves the use of AI-based tools such as ChatGPT to correct grammar and Scite AI to help participants find relevant references quickly. A total of 25 students of the Faculty of Science, Engineering, and Applied participated in this training online. The method used in this activity involves three main stages, namely preparation, training, and mentoring. In the preparation stage, the training materials are designed to cover important topics related to scientific writing, the use of AI-based tools, and reference management using Mendeley and Zotero. The training was carried out in the form of interactive sessions, where participants were given material on the structure of scientific articles, the use of AI tools, and reference management techniques. Mentoring is carried out individually to provide more specific feedback on the articles that have been compiled by the participants. The results of the evaluation showed a significant improvement in the participants' ability to understand the structure of scientific articles using academic language, and to manage references appropriately. Despite the challenges associated with academic integrity and reliance on technology, this training provides a solid foundation for aspiring teachers to integrate technology in scientific writing and teaching.

Abstract

The use of natural medicines has been part of the culture and local wisdom of the Indonesian people since centuries ago. This hereditary experience gives an idea that the use of natural medicines in general is considered relatively safe. In practice, both the selection process and the processing of natural ingredients are still often carried out inappropriately. This condition can have an impact on decreasing the effectiveness of natural ingredients, both for preventive, curative, promotive, and rehabilitative purposes. The purpose of this community service activity is so that the use of natural medicines can be carried out safely and correctly. The method used is in the form of interactive counseling on the safe and appropriate use of natural ingredients. Before counseling, a pre-test is carried out, and after counseling a post-test is carried out. The respondents in this activity were PKK women in Sumbersuko Village, Wagir District, Malang Regency as many as 18 people. The pre-test results showed that 65% of respondents had a sufficient level of knowledge in the category, while the post-test results showed an increase to 89.85% with the knowledge category being very good. Based on the results of the t-test, there was a significant difference in the level of knowledge about the safe and correct use of natural medicines between before and after counseling. Thus, the counseling process has an impact in the form of increasing the knowledge of PKK women in Sumbersuko Village, Wagir District, Malang Regency.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to analyze the village potential and formulate a sustainable Bayan spiritual ecotourism model as an accelerator for Bayan Village, Bayan District, North Lombok Regency, towards the status of Empowered Village. Bayan Village in North Lombok has unique potential in the form of the sacred site of the Bayan Beleq Ancient Mosque and the local wisdom of Wetu Telu, but this potential is threatened by the risk of commercialization and the lack of structured customary governance. The method used is action research with a participatory qualitative approach, through SWOT analysis, FGDs, and customary workshops involving the Customary Council, Pokdarwis, and BUMDes. The results of this service produce scientific findings that the educational ecotourism model is only sustainable if the absolute authority of the customary council is determined as the main control variable that limits zoning and commercial activities. Based on these findings, a Bayan spiritual-customary ecotourism model is formulated that clearly distinguishes the sacred core zone and the educational buffer zone. This community service activity also successfully increased the human resources capacity of the Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) through ethical storytelling training, which serves as a filtering mechanism for cultural values. The main output of this activity was a strategic roadmap integrated into the village planning document (RPJMDes), which serves as an operational guide for the development of Bayan Village towards an Empowered Village through the synergy of cultural preservation, social empowerment, and local economic empowerment.

Abstract

This community service program was carried out in Gandari Hamlet, Narmada Village, Narmada District, West Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province, with the aim of improving financial literacy and financial management skills of micro business actors and local organizations through the implementation of a simple cash book system. This activity was motivated by low public awareness of financial recording and weak cash flow management practices. The implementation of the program uses a participatory and educational approach which is carried out through three stages, namely observation and identification of financial problems, education and training in the use of simple cash books, and evaluation and assistance in the implementation of financial records. Data collection was carried out through field observations, interviews, and questionnaires involving ten participants. The results of the activity showed that most of the participants had not previously made written financial records. After the training, as many as 60% of participants began to record daily transactions consistently, while 70% stated that simple cash books are easy to use and beneficial for business management. This program has succeeded in fostering financial awareness, discipline, and accountability among participants, as well as encouraging the creation of sustainable financial practices and empowering local micro-enterprises to be more transparent and independent.

Abstract

The economic potential of Utemungkur 1 Village, Kolang District, Central Tapanuli Regency is still not optimal due to traditional business management and low financial literacy of MSMEs. This service activity aims to identify the main problems of village MSMEs and formulate solutions through basic socialization of MSMEs based on a community engagement approach. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a participatory approach through Focus Group Discussion (FGD) involving MSME actors, farmers, and fishermen. The results of the activity show problems in the form of mixing business and personal finance, low product added value, and limitations of digital marketing. The solutions formulated include the implementation of simple cash books, the use of community social media, and the initiation of the formation of Joint Business Groups (KUB). Early indicators of success can be seen from the increased understanding of financial recording and participants' commitment to business development. This activity encourages changes in the mindset of the community towards a growth mindset and strengthens the sustainability of the village economy based on participation.

Abstract

Smoking and secondhand exposure provide significant health and economic issues in environments where indoor smoking is prevalent. This Community Service-Oriented (PkM) research aims to: 1) identify the level of knowledge, attitudes, and commitment in Dusun Ngargosoko Wetan concerning smoking hazards before and after the implementation of a cigarette smoke-free home PkM program; and 2) investigate how the initiative can enhance family health, fortify socio-religious cohesion, and alleviate economic burdens in low-income households. This community service-oriented research utilized a defined Participatory Action Research (PAR) cycle (planning → action → reflection → revision) to collaboratively create and implement a full-day intervention for 40 intentionally selected residents (25 adult men, predominantly fathers/young adults, 15 adolescents). The majority of participating homes had children and reported low to moderate incomes. Pre/post questionnaires assessed knowledge, attitudes, and household regulations; enabled small-group conversations incorporating socio-religious messages and generated family commitments. Quantitative analyses (SPSS v26; R v4.2) employed paired t-tests for continuous variables. A community-led three-month follow-up was scheduled to evaluate enduring change. The results indicate that the average knowledge improved from 62.5 to 81.3, reflecting a 30% relative improvement (paired t-test, p < .01). Post-event commitments: 65% embraced smoke-free household promises, 25% aimed to decrease smoking, 10% remained unchanged. The implementation of PAR cycles and socio-religious framing yielded immediate, substantial benefits and created local monitoring systems to facilitate long-term sustainability and policy adoption.

Abstract

The purpose of this activity is to analyze the influence of the sustainable cleanliness movement on students' level of environmental awareness. Environmental conservation activities through the sustainable cleanliness movement conducted by students are carried out on campus. The sustainable cleanliness movement activities carried out by students on campus reflect the application of the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) method, which focuses on strengthening local assets such as skills, motivation, and student networks. Direct participation in activities such as waste collection and environmental education has been shown to significantly increase student engagement and foster social responsibility towards the environment. The implementation of these activities has also succeeded in instilling important values ​​such as environmental awareness and a spirit of cooperation. Given the positive impacts generated, it is highly recommended that similar activities be held regularly and periodically to raise awareness of the importance of environmental protection. The campus or student groups are encouraged to continue implementing the sustainable environmental cleanliness program for the ongoing benefits of all parties on campus.
