Abstract

Background: Hypertension has been a prevalent condition among the elderly within the community, often receiving insufficient attention from those affected. Based on screening data, it was found that 52.63% of the 57 elderly people in Awiligar had blood pressure in the hypertension category. This high prevalence indicates that this population is at high risk for cardiovascular and kidney complications.Objectives: This community service initiative seeks to facilitate the early detection of cardio-renal risk among the elderly population in Awiligar, Bandung Regency, in light of the high prevalence of hypertension and the potential for chronic kidney complications.Methods: The method for implementing this community service activity consists of Health Screening and Health Education.Result: The screening results revealed a high prevalence of hypertension, with 52.63% of participants exhibiting BP ≥ 140/90 mmHg. Urine laboratory findings indicated significant abnormalities, notably Proteinuria in 42.11% (24 individuals) and Hematuria in 21.05% (12 individuals). Furthermore, a high prevalence of metabolic risk indicators was observed. The elevated prevalence of proteinuria, in conjunction with the high incidence of hypertension, serves as a significant marker of early kidney damage within this population.Conclusion: The conclusion of this initiative underscores the necessity for immediate medical follow-up and community-based health education interventions aimed at managing cardio-renal risk factors to prevent the progression of Chronic Kidney Disease.

Abstract

Background: Water availability is a critical factor influencing the sustainability of community-based economic activities, particularly in fisheries and plantation sectors. In Bernung Village, Gedong Tataan District, Pesawaran Regency, limited water supply during the dry season has restricted the optimal utilization of fish ponds and plantation land, thereby affecting local economic productivity.Objectives: This study aims to describe a community service program integrating geoelectrical groundwater identification with community-based economic empowerment to support sustainable local business development.Methods: The program applied a Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) approach involving community participation throughout field surveys, groundwater-source identification, site selection, mentoring, and evaluation stages. Groundwater investigation was conducted using 1D geoelectrical sounding with a Schlumberger configuration at two observation points. The acquired data were interpreted to identify aquifer characteristics and to support groundwater utilization planning.Results: The geoelectrical survey identified potential aquifer zones at depths of 33.4–81.9 m at Point 1 and 21.5–82.8 m at Point 2, providing a technical basis for groundwater utilization planning. The program further supported the development of plantation land and fish-farming activities while improving community understanding of water-resource management and business development.Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that geoelectrical investigation serves not only as an effective groundwater exploration tool but also as a practical decision-support approach for strengthening community livelihoods and promoting more sustainable fisheries and plantation-based economic activities.

Abstract

Background: International summer camps have become a vital form of social engagement in higher education, providing chances for cultural learning and global contact. However, a rigorous evaluation of participant perceptions is required to ensure program efficacy and sustainability.Objectives: This study seeks to investigate students' impressions of the FKIP Universitas Lampung Summer Camp 2025, with an emphasis on cultural experience, program satisfaction, and areas for development in a community-based educational setting.Methods: This study used a descriptive quantitative technique supported by qualitative data. A perception questionnaire with a Likert scale was provided to 17 participants, supplemented with open-ended responses to elicit deeper insights into their experiences.Result: With mean values ranging from 4.50 to 4.89, the results show a high degree of participant satisfaction, especially in cultural activities, social connections, and committee support. Strong social ties and significant cross-cultural learning were noted by the participants. On the other hand, insufficient interaction with local pupils (M = 2.61) and time management (M = 3.83) were found to be moderate issues. Negative categories typically had low mean scores, suggesting that people thought the program was safe, inclusive, and relevant.Conclusion: All things taken into account, the summer camp successfully served as a community engagement program that increased student experience and cross-cultural knowledge while emphasizing the need for better scheduling and more possibilities for local contact. In addition to benefiting international participants, the program provided sociocultural benefits for the local community by strengthening cultural promotion and encouraging collaboration between universities and local stakeholders.

Abstract

Background: Football performance relies on cognitive-perceptual abilities that vary by playing position, yet evidence on position-specific cognitive-perceptual training is limited.Aims: This study investigated the comparative effect of cognitive-perceptual training on cognitive performance among university-level football players across different playing positions.Methods: Sixty male football players (18-25 years) were categorized as forwards (n = 20), midfielders (n = 20) and defenders (n = 20). Participants completed an eight-week cognitive–perceptual training program using the Vienna Test System. Reaction Speed, decision-making (Cognitrone) and Peripheral Perception were assessed using a pre–post design. Data were analyzed using mixed-design ANOVA.Result: Cognitrone scores showed a significant main effect of playing position (F(2,57) = 5.17, p =.009, η² =.15). Pre-post changes in Cognitrone scores varied among playing positions, according to the significant Time × Position interaction (F(2,57) = 3.41, p =.040, ηp² =.10). Follow-up comparisons are necessary to identify which positional groups differed considerably, even though midfielders displayed the biggest descriptive mean gain. Peripheral perception (p =.308) and reaction speed (p =.192) did not exhibit significant interactions.Conclusion: Significant pre-post alterations in cognitive-perceptual performance were found, and Cognitrone scores revealed positional variation. Without suitable follow-up comparisons, the results do not demonstrate better improvement among midfielders, despite the fact that midfielders displayed the largest descriptive gain. The observed changes cannot be exclusively attributed to the training program because the study did not include a non-intervention control group.

Abstract

Background: Agricultural export capability is vital for developing economies, yet Nigeria's shift toward petroleum has left its rural sector structurally underdeveloped and vulnerable.Aims: This study investigates the key determinants of Nigeria's agricultural export performance, focusing on agricultural land availability, foreign direct investment, GDP growth, domestic crop production, exchange rates, and female agricultural employment.Methods: Utilizing annual time-series data from 1990 to 2023, the study evaluates short- and long-run dynamics using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model combined with the Residual Augmented Least Squares–Engle Granger (RALS-EG) cointegration approach.Result: In the long run, agricultural land expansion, FDI inflows, and exchange rates positively impact export volumes, whereas GDP growth, domestic crop production indices, and female agricultural employment show negative effects. In the short run, land use and crop production enhance exports, while exchange rate volatility and GDP growth exert negative pressures. The findings reveal that output increases do not automatically translate to export growth due to domestic food demand and supply chain inefficiencies, while structural and resource barriers hinder the export contribution of female labor.Conclusion: Policymakers must look beyond purely output-driven initiatives. Achieving sustainable agricultural export growth requires targeted investments in post-harvest rural infrastructure, macroeconomic and financial stability, and gender-equitable access to agricultural resources and extension services.

Abstract

Background: SMP Negeri 4 Siak Hulu faced difficulties in monitoring classroom environmental conditions and managing classroom facilities due to the absence of an integrated monitoring and control mechanism. This program addressed these challenges through the implementation and mentoring of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based Smart Classroom system.Aims: This program aimed to improve teachers' and school personnel's knowledge and practical skills in environmental monitoring and lighting control using an IoT-based Smart Classroom system.Methods: The program consisted of four stages: situation analysis, system preparation, training and mentoring, and evaluation. The system employed an ESP8266 microcontroller with DHT11, LDR, and PIR sensors, a relay module, a 16×2 LCD, and an Android application developed using Kodular for environmental monitoring and lighting control. Evaluation involved 19 participants using a 14-item pre-test and post-test, complemented by observations of participants' basic system operation after mentoring.Results: The mean score increased from 81.95% to 95.86%, representing a descriptive increase of 13.91 percentage points. The minimum score increased from 50.00% to 85.71%, while the maximum remained 100.00%. Thirteen participants (68.42%) increased their scores, 6 (31.58%) maintained the same scores, and none decreased. All 19 participants were observed performing basic operating procedures independently after mentoring.Conclusion: The program was associated with improved participant knowledge and demonstrated basic independent operation of the implemented IoT-based Smart Classroom system. Long-term knowledge retention, system utilization, energy savings, and maintenance performance were not evaluated.

Abstract

Background: Stunting reflects interacting nutritional, infectious, environmental, socioeconomic, and caregiving pathways. In Toriyo Village, program records identified 266 mothers with children under five and 22 children with stunting.Aims: To describe an integrated family education program on complementary feeding, handwashing with soap, and household sanitation and to report participants’ post-education knowledge and attitude profiles.Methods: The program was conducted on 16 May 2026 with 12 mothers who attended after mobilization by village partners and community health cadres; no probability sampling or formal sample-size calculation was used. Education covered stunting and the first 1,000 days of life, age-appropriate complementary feeding, nutrient-dense local foods, handwashing, feeding-utensil hygiene, safe drinking water, and household sanitation. Knowledge was measured with 10 true-or-false items (0–100) and attitude with 10 four-point Likert items (10–40). Psychometric estimates were exploratory because n = 12.Results: Mothers were aged 21–42 years (31.58 ± 6.13); 75.0% had completed senior high school and 75.0% were homemakers. Knowledge scores ranged from 70–100 (92.50 ± 12.15; median 100), and attitude scores ranged from 30–40 (34.83 ± 4.00; median 35). Cronbach’s alpha was 0.536 for knowledge and 0.932 for attitude.Conclusion: The program integrated three household prevention domains and produced reusable media for cadres. The post-education scores describe activity participants only; without baseline measurement and with an attendance-based sample of 12, they do not demonstrate improvement, effectiveness, or population-level effects.
