Abstract

The rapid development of information technology, especially in the field of multimedia, has changed the way we communicate and document various activities. The use of video as a means of documentation is now the main choice in conveying information, both in the personal sphere and government agencies. Dolat Rayat District, like many other districts, often carries out various activities and programs that involve the community. Some examples of activities that are often carried out include social events, community meetings, seminars, and infrastructure development projects. For the purpose of reporting and promoting these activities, good and easily accessible documentation is very important. The use of CapCut for making video documentation is very relevant because this application is available for free and easily accessible via mobile devices that are generally owned by district employees. In addition, the features in this application greatly support the creation of professional video documentation, although it does not require high video editing skills. However, most employees of Dolat Rayat District still do not master the techniques and understanding needed to make maximum use of this application. Through this assistance, it is hoped that there will also be an increase in employee capacity in utilizing technology to support their duties and responsibilities, as well as improving the quality of communication and reporting at the government level.

Abstract

Oral health is an important component of general health that is often neglected in society. In Indonesia, many individuals experience oral health problems due to lack of access to quality health services. This is especially true in underserved areas, where people face various obstacles, such as distance, cost, and lack of information about available health services. In this PkM, researchers studied the development and implementation of a web-based oral health service system with telemedicine support to improve the accessibility and effectiveness of dental health services. Through user needs analysis and evaluation of the system prototype, the results showed that this platform allows patients to register, schedule consultations, and access dental health information online with a high level of satisfaction. Online consultations proved effective in providing accurate diagnoses, while the educational materials provided contributed to increased awareness of dental health. The results of this PkM confirm that the implementation of telemedicine in dental health services not only improves accessibility but also the quality of services, and contributes to the development of digital health systems in the future

Abstract

The utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the creative industry has opened new opportunities to enhance innovation and efficiency. This study aims to explore the use of AI as a tool to generate creative ideas for wood powder-based art at CV. Rendy Hendicraft. The methodology includes experiments with generative AI tools such as Flux AI, DALL-E and MidJourney to produce initial designs, followed by a selection and adaptation process by local artists. The results demonstrate that AI can generate diverse innovative design patterns, including traditional carvings, geometric abstracts, and modern-traditional hybrid elements, which are then transformed into wood powder artworks. The collaboration between AI and humans accelerates the conceptualization phase and broadens creative perspectives. However, adapting AI-generated designs to the wood powder medium requires modifications to accommodate material characteristics, such as texture and structural durability. The impacts of this initiative include increased productivity for CV. Rendy Hendicraft, product diversification, and strengthened competitiveness in the craft market. This study concludes that integrating AI into the creative process does not replace human roles but acts as an innovation catalyst supporting the sustainability of local-based creative industries.

Abstract

The increasing use of digital technology among vocational school students has had a positive impact in terms of access to information and skills development. However, this phenomenon has also opened up a gap for the emergence of online gambling threats, which are increasingly widespread among teenagers. Online gambling often targets young age groups through games and applications that seem harmless, which can lead to addiction and financial loss. On the other hand, the level of digital literacy among vocational school students is still relatively low. Although they are skilled in using digital devices, many do not understand the risks involved, such as the dangers of online gambling. This lack of understanding is exacerbated by limited education on digital ethics and wise internet use in schools, as well as a lack of awareness among parents and teachers regarding these potential risks. The importance of digital literacy is a solution to this problem, because with a good understanding, students can recognize and avoid the dangers of online gambling. However, educational programs on digital literacy and online gambling prevention are still limited, and many schools lack the resources to provide adequate training. As a solution, an empowerment program is needed for vocational school students through digital literacy training that aims to increase their awareness of the risks of online gambling, as well as teach them the responsible use of technology. This program also requires support from schools, parents, and the community to create a safe and healthy digital environment for students. The target output of this activity is scientific papers published in national journals with ISSN. The activities that will be carried out start from giving pretests to students to see students' knowledge of online gambling. After that, counseling is carried out on the negative impacts of online gambling. Then a posttest is carried out to see students' understanding of the material that has been presented.

Abstract

CV. Adi Makmur Metalindo is a metal manufacturing company with physically intensive work activities in its production area. Based on initial observations, the layout of the production area has not fully applied ergonomic principles, resulting in inefficient workflow and health complaints among workers. This program aims to analyze the existing layout conditions, redesign the production area based on ergonomic principles, and measure the impact of these changes on work efficiency and comfort. The implementation method includes field observations, measurement of distances and time between work activities, posture analysis using the REBA method, and layout redesign using the Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) approach. As part of the impact evaluation, pre-test and post-test questionnaires were distributed to 10 workers to assess their perceptions before and after the proposed improvements. The analysis results show that the new layout design successfully reduced travel distance and process time, as well as improved the placement of work tools that were previously inefficient. The questionnaire results revealed a significant increase in workers’ perceptions of workflow efficiency, posture comfort, and satisfaction with the layout—showing an average score increase of 1.4 to 1.7 points. In addition, the program also raised awareness among workers about the importance of ergonomics in the workplace. In conclusion, the application of ergonomic principles in the reorganization of the production layout had a positive impact on both work efficiency and comfort. This program can serve as an applicable model of ergonomic implementation that benefits other small and medium-sized industries in creating a more productive and sustainable work environment.
