Abstract

Background and Aim: Blang Asan Village has economic potential in the brick production sector; however, production activities are still conventional and have not integrated innovations in construction material technology. In addition, unmanaged Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) plastic waste contributes to environmental problems. This community service activity aimed to implement a circular economy concept by transforming LDPE plastic waste into environmentally friendly construction materials in the form of eco-paving blocks. Methods: The program was implemented using an experimental and participatory approach involving local partners through socialization, technical training, and construction implementation assistance. Laboratory testing was conducted on six specimen variations molded using 3 kg hexagonal molds. The mixtures consisted of LDPE plastic waste, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, cement, and varying amounts of used oil. Compressive strength tests were performed to determine the optimal composition. Results: The compressive strength test showed that the best composition was obtained with 15% LDPE without an oil mixture, producing a compressive strength value of 24.2 MPa. Based on SNI 03-0691-1996 standards, the product met the B Quality criteria, making it suitable for parking area applications. The program successfully transferred technology to local brick craftsmen, enabling them to independently produce eco-friendly construction materials. Conclusion: The application of LDPE-based eco-paving blocks effectively reduced plastic waste while creating value-added construction products with economic potential. This program also supported the development of sustainable green economy practices in Blang Asan Village.

Abstract

Zoonotic bacterial diseases such as colibacillosis and salmonellosis in poultry affect animal health and productivity and pose a risk to human health. Sukahaji Bird Market in Bandung City is a high-traffic site for live poultry trading and close human-animal interaction, making it a potential hotspot for zoonotic disease transmission. This work aimed to improve poultry traders' knowledge on the bacterial zoonotic diseases and promote the application of basic biosecurity measures as a preventive effort. In this work, implementing methods involved three main stages namely pre-activity, main activity, and post-activity. The pre-activity stage involved coordinating with the market managers and institution partners, developing simple surveys, and preparing the educational materials (pamphlets and posters). The main activity was conducted through an interactive education approach, distribution of printed materials, survey completion, and the provision of hand sanitizer to support the hygiene practices. In the post-activity stage, the evaluation process was carried out throughout surviving 30 poultry traders to assess their knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to biosecurity. Results showed that 96.67% of traders were not aware of bacterial zoonotic diseases in poultry, while 93.3% were able to recognize clinical signs of sick birds. Furthermore, although most traders had implemented basic hygienic practices, their understanding of zoonotic diseases remained limited. Both printed educational media and the personalized approach have an effectiveness in enhancing awareness. Moreover, applying the community engagement activities could support the One Health strategy through integrating animal, human, and environmental approaches to control the zoonotic disease transmission in the traditional markets.

Abstract

The risk of periodontitis is greater in pregnant women with malocclusion, especially if they use fixed orthodontic appliances (brackets) because it is difficult to maintain oral hygiene. Untreated periodontal infection can trigger systemic inflammation and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which have an impact on uterine contractions and fetal growth, and increase the risk of premature birth and low birth weight (LBW). The purpose of this community services is to carry out preventive educational efforts on the risk of periodontitis in pregnant women with malocclusion at the Sedati Health Center, both those undergoing orthodontic treatment and those not. This community services method is through interactive education, clinical examinations and facial profile photos, oral cavity to 51 pregnant women with malocclusion who undergo routine examinations at the Sedati Health Center. Interactive education by providing question and answer sheets, clinical examinations including gingival sulcus, gingival recession, periodontal exudate, tartar, tooth mobility and taking photos of the face and oral cavity profile. Result, all pregnant women do not understand periodontitis and its risks, pregnant women who use brackets have a higher percentage of pus/periodontal exudate indicators (10%) and loose teeth (30%) compared to those who do not use brackets. Pregnant women without brackets show a higher prevalence of gingival recession (19.5%) and tartar (97.6%). Conclusion, preventive education is needed comprehensively for pregnant women with malocclusion, both those who use brackets and those who do not, in order to reduce the risk of periodontitis which can have an impact on pregnancy complications.
