Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia, particularly in the Medan Skip area, still face various challenges in managing their business finances effectively and efficiently. Problems such as mixing personal and business finances, not recording daily transactions, and not knowing how to prepare simple financial reports are major obstacles to their business development. This community service activity aims to improve the financial management capacity of MSMEs through intensive training and direct field mentoring. The methods used in this activity included identifying training needs, developing participatory training modules, implementing three days of interactive training, and providing one month of mentoring. Evaluation was conducted through pre- and post-tests, as well as field observations and interviews. The results of the activity showed a significant improvement in participants' understanding and practice of financial management. Approximately 78% of participants were able to prepare simple financial reports, and 84% had separated personal and business finances. Furthermore, participants became more disciplined in recording daily transactions and began implementing short-term financial planning. In conclusion, financial management training tailored to local needs and contexts can improve MSME business efficiency. This activity also encourages changes in managerial behavior and strengthens the business foundation in facing future economic challenges.

Abstract

The financial recording capability of small business actors remains limited due to the lack of understanding and skills in basic accounting practices. This service program was designed to address that problem by enhancing the knowledge and practical competence of micro and small entrepreneurs in implementing simple and structured financial bookkeeping. The purpose of this activity was to empower business owners to independently manage their financial records for better decision-making and business sustainability. The applied method in this activity was an educative and participatory approach, consisting of three stages: initial needs assessment through interviews and observations, implementation of interactive training and direct practice using real transaction cases, and evaluation using pre- and post-tests, observations, and interviews. The results showed a significant increase in participants’ abilities to manage cash records, prepare basic financial reports, and utilize spreadsheet tools effectively. Participants also showed behavioral changes in adopting routine bookkeeping and separating business finances from personal expenses. This program proved to be effective in building a new financial culture among participants, both in the short term and with potential long-term benefits. The activity concluded that targeted and practice-based training can significantly improve financial literacy and management among small-scale business owners.

Abstract

Environmental education is a crucial aspect in shaping a generation responsible for environmental sustainability, with the Adiwiyata Program being a strategic initiative in Indonesia to achieve this goal. The Adiwiyata Program encourages schools to create a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment, and to instill an environmental culture through real practices involving all school elements. One modern agricultural method that can be effectively integrated into environmental education in schools is hydroponic cultivation. Hydroponics, as a soilless farming technique utilizing nutrient-rich solutions in water, offers efficiency in water and land use, and reduces the risk of pests and diseases. These advantages make it ideal for schools with limited land or those wishing to maximize space utilization. SMK Gelora Jaya Nusantara Medan, as a vocational institution, has great potential to implement hydroponics as part of Adiwiyata, especially given the challenge of limited green space in urban Medan. Hydroponic training can equip students and teachers with technical knowledge, foster environmental awareness, entrepreneurship, and self-reliance through active involvement in cultivation. This initiative aligns with the Adiwiyata vision to create an environmentally cultured school environment and produce graduates who care about global issues. Hydroponic projects also teach about the water cycle, plant nutrition, and the positive impacts of sustainable agriculture on food security and climate change mitigation. This community service discusses the implementation and impact of hydroponic training at SMK Gelora Jaya Nusantara Medan as a concrete step towards becoming an Adiwiyata School, and analyzes the increased environmental awareness within the school community.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia, particularly in densely populated areas with low awareness of environmental disease prevention. This community service activity aimed to increase public knowledge and awareness regarding the prevention and control of DHF through health education and counseling in the working area of the Pujidadi Sub-Health Center, Binjai City. The activity was conducted by lecturers from the Master of Public Health Program, Institute of Health Sciences of North Sumatra (INKESSUMUT), as part of the 2024 community service program organized by the Institute for Research and Community Service (LPPM) INKESSUMUT. Methods included interactive lectures, small group discussions, and practical simulations of mosquito breeding site eradication (PSN) using the 3M Plus approach. Educational materials such as leaflets, posters, and visual aids were used to support learning. Target participants included housewives, health cadres, and local youth. The results showed improved community understanding of DHF symptoms, transmission methods, and the importance of maintaining environmental cleanliness as a preventive measure. Participants demonstrated high enthusiasm and expressed commitment to adopting clean and healthy living behaviors (PHBS) and continuing PSN activities regularly. This initiative highlights the effectiveness of community-based educational approaches in enhancing disease prevention efforts and represents a practical implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education in improving public health.

Abstract

The availability of clean water is a basic need that is vital for public health and well-being. However, communities living along the Deli Riverbanks in Medan face serious air quality issues due to household and industrial waste pollution. This Community Service (PKM) activity aims to implement a simple clean water filtration technology that can be built with local materials, is easy to operate, and is affordable for lowland communities. The methods used include an initial air quality survey, training in building the filtration system, installation of units in residents' homes, and technical and social evaluations. The filtration system uses layered media consisting of palm fiber, gravel, fine sand, and activated charcoal in a plastic drum container. Laboratory tests showed that this system effectively reduced air turbidity from 78 NTU to 4 NTU and eliminated Escherichia coli contamination to 0 MPN/100 ml, approaching the national clean water quality standard. In addition to the technical aspects, this activity also had an impact on increasing community awareness of the importance of clean water and healthy lifestyles. The community satisfaction level with the quality of the filtered water reached over 90%, and the majority expressed a desire to replicate the system independently. This activity demonstrates that locally based appropriate technology can be an effective solution in addressing clean water problems in poor urban areas, as well as strengthening community capacity and independence in managing water resources sustainably.

Abstract

This extension program focuses on exploring business opportunities for farmer-entrepreneurs in horticultural plant nurseries, utilizing cutting and grafting techniques to serve local markets. The initiative aims to enhance farmers' technical skills, market understanding, and business management capabilities in plant propagation. Through participatory training methods, including hands-on demonstrations and mentoring sessions, participants acquired practical knowledge of vegetative propagation techniques with demonstrated success rates of 80-90%. Market analysis revealed strong local demand for fruit seedlings (particularly citrus, mango, and guava) and ornamental plants, offering profit margins of 40-60%. Key challenges identified include limited access to capital, price fluctuations, and competition from imported seedlings. The program proposed solutions such as improved financing access, strengthened marketing networks, and quality certification systems. Post-intervention results showed significant improvements: 30-50% increase in production capacity, expanded market connections, and 20-40% income growth among participants. The program effectively enhanced both technical competencies and business acumen, creating sustainable livelihood opportunities in the horticultural nursery sector. Recommendations include establishing government-agriculture department partnerships, developing digital marketing platforms, and implementing continuous mentoring programs to ensure long-term business sustainability. These findings highlight the potential of vegetative propagation techniques in empowering small-scale nursery entrepreneurs while contributing to local agricultural development.

Abstract

Anemia during pregnancy remains a significant public health concern, affecting both maternal and fetal health. Adequate intake of prebiotic foods has been suggested as a strategy to improve intestinal health and enhance iron absorption, thereby contributing to anemia prevention. This study aimed to improve pregnant women’s knowledge about prebiotic food sources as a preventive measure against anemia. The intervention employed interactive educational sessions, including lectures, discussions, and demonstrations on the consumption of prebiotic foods. Participants were pregnant women registered at local community health posts or healthcare facilities. Knowledge levels were assessed using structured questionnaires before and after the intervention. The pre-test results indicated that nearly half of the participants (48%) had low knowledge, while only 16% demonstrated high knowledge. Following the educational intervention, knowledge improved significantly, with 68% of participants achieving a high knowledge level and only 8% remaining in the low category. These findings indicate that targeted educational programs on prebiotic food consumption effectively enhance pregnant women’s understanding of anemia prevention. Increasing awareness and knowledge about prebiotic foods can encourage healthier dietary practices, ultimately contributing to a reduction in anemia prevalence during pregnancy.

Abstract

The ability to process and analyze statistical data is an essential skill for Accounting Education students, particularly in the preparation of quantitative research. However, most students are still limited to the use of common statistical software, necessitating mastery of more comprehensive applications such as STATA. This community service activity aims to improve students' understanding and skills in using STATA through socialization and practice-based training. The implementation methods included preparation, opening and socialization, core training, group discussions and case studies, evaluation, and preparation of reports and publications. The activity was attended by fifth-semester Accounting Education students at Makassar State University. The evaluation results showed an increase in participants' understanding and ability to operate STATA. This activity had a tangible impact on improving student competency and supporting the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, particularly community service. It is recommended that similar training be conducted continuously with more in-depth coverage of statistical analysis material.
