BLOOD PRESSURE EXAMINATION AND EDUCATION ON HYPERTENSION PREVENTION IN RANGING HAMLET, NORTH SATARMESE DISTRICT

2026-03-01T21:44:51+07:00

Hypertension is a significant global health problem with an increasing prevalence. It is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease and premature death worldwide due to its impact on vital organs and its association with chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, and obesity. Despite the availability of various current management strategies, many patients still fail to achieve adequate blood pressure (BP) control. Cardiovascular mortality related to hypertension continues to rise along with the global increase in chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, and obesity. Therefore, improving BP control must be prioritized urgently. Most individuals are unaware that they suffer from hypertension even when they experience its symptoms. The lack of public awareness in monitoring blood pressure and the limited knowledge about hypertension and its management often result in recurrent increases in blood pressure and, in many cases, severe complications. In Ranging Hamlet, most elderly residents suffer from hypertension, and some even experience multiple complications. Blood pressure screening and hypertension education can help in monitoring and controlling blood pressure, providing understanding on how to prevent or manage hypertension, and raising awareness about adopting a healthy lifestyle to avoid hypertension. This activity began with the preparation and implementation stages. After the community service (PKM) for the elderly conducted on October 18, 2024, the results showed that the elderly participants became aware of their blood pressure levels and gained improved knowledge and understanding of hypertension and its management.

Increased capacity of village youth through Karang Taruna is expected to support the development of value-added craft products based on pejal sand, so they can become the village’s flagship product that supports sustainable economic growth.

ANALYSIS OF THE CONTRACT MECHANISM IN SHARIA VENTURE CAPITAL AND ITS RELEVANCE TO MSME FINANCING

2026-03-02T08:31:20+07:00

Sharia Venture Capital is an alternative financing instrument that offers a partnership-based scheme oriented toward fairness and free from elements of usury. This study aims to analyze the contractual mechanisms used in Sharia venture capital and their relevance for financing Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The research was conducted using a qualitative approach through a literature review that examines the concept of Sharia venture capital, contract structures, and the characteristics of MSME financing needs. The analysis shows that the most commonly used contracts in Sharia venture capital are musyarakah, mudharabah, and wakalah bil ujrah. Each contract has distinct characteristics that address the needs of partnership-based financing, risk-sharing, and business mentoring. The study finds that this financing model is highly relevant for MSMEs, particularly because it does not require collateral, emphasizes profit-sharing, and provides managerial support. However, its implementation still faces several challenges, such as low Islamic financial literacy and the limited number of Sharia venture capital institutions in Indonesia. This study is expected to serve as a foundation for developing a more inclusive and Sharia-compliant MSME financing model.

Keywords: CTPS, elementary school, hygiene education, handwashing, sanitation, STH prevention

ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF LEASING FINANCING IN IMPROVING ACCESS TO CAPITAL FOR MICRO AND SMALL ENTERPRISES

2026-03-02T08:32:59+07:00

Sharia leasing provides an asset-based financing mechanism that enables Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) to obtain productive equipment without requiring substantial upfront capital. This study analyzes the effectiveness of sharia leasing, particularly the ijarah and ijarah muntahiyah bittamlik (IMBT) contracts, in improving MSEs’ access to capital. Using literature review methods, this study evaluates scholarly articles, books, and regulatory documents related to Islamic financing. The findings indicate that sharia leasing effectively enhances access to capital because it does not require additional collateral, offers flexible payment structures, and includes asset ownership options at the end of the lease period. However, its implementation faces challenges such as limited sharia leasing institutions, low financial literacy, and insufficient product innovation. Strengthening education, expanding institutional reach, and developing more flexible leasing models are needed to maximize its contribution to MSE development.

These findings emphasize that Indonesia's future in combating corruption heavily relies on the synergy between transparent bureaucracy, strong rule of law, and community involvement in the ongoing democratic process.

LEGAL PROTECTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE STATE ADMINISTRATION PROCESS IN SINGAPORE

2026-03-02T08:33:34+07:00

This research discusses aspects of legal protection of human rights in the context of state administrative processes through a comparative study approach examining the legal systems and cultures between Indonesia and Singapore as two ASEAN member countries with fundamental differences. The focus of the study is directed at identifying differences in administrative law systems, administrative court mechanisms, and procedures for resolving administrative disputes in both countries. This research uses a normative method with analysis of legislation and literature review to reveal differences and similarities in the implementation of state administrative law as part of public law.The study highlights significant differences in the system of government and administrative judiciary institutions, where Indonesia has the State Administrative Court specifically handling administrative disputes, while Singapore resolves such administrative disputes through general courts with a judicial review mechanism. In addition, there are differences in the enforcement of immigration administrative sanctions; Indonesia tends to emphasize aspects of protection and systematic regulation, while Singapore implements sanctions that are repressive in nature with the aim of creating a deterrent effect for violators. These findings make a significant contribution to the development of administrative law and serve as a reference for policy innovation to sustainably improve public welfare

JURIDICAL ANALYSIS OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT LAWSUIT ON THE MINIMUM EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS FOR PRESIDENTIAL AND VICE-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES

2026-03-02T08:34:38+07:00

The lawsuit regarding the minimum educational requirements for presidential and vice-presidential candidates before the Constitutional Court (MK) has become a crucial issue in constitutionalism and democracy in Indonesia. This issue arose when some parties considered that the provisions regarding minimum educational levels in the general election law had the potential to limit citizens' political rights, contradict the principle of equality before the law, and violate the constitutional right to be elected. This study aims to conduct a legal analysis of the Constitutional Court's ruling on this lawsuit, using a normative and legislative approach, including a review of Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections, the 1945 Constitution, and previous Constitutional Court decisions. The analysis shows that the Constitutional Court considers the principles of political accessibility, justice, and harmonization between state interests and individual rights in determining the reasonableness of educational requirements. The Constitutional Court tends to emphasize that excessive requirements can hinder political participation and are potentially discriminatory, necessitating a balanced constitutional interpretation. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the understanding of constitutional law, the formulation of general election policies, and the strengthening of democracy in Indonesia. Thus, this study emphasizes the importance of aligning the formal requirements for candidates for head of state with the principles of citizens' constitutional rights.

This study analyzes the impact of digital pluralism on political party preferences from the perspective of Islamic Human Resource Management (HRM) in West Sumatra. This study aims to examine how pluralistic narratives on social media shape the perceptions and political choices of people with a strong religious-cultural basis. This study uses a quantitative descriptive-correlational approach, data collected through a survey of active social media users. The results of the statistical analysis indicate that the level of digital pluralism and Islamic HRM ethics are in the high category, while party preferences based on pluralistic imagery are classified as moderate. There is a significant correlation between digital pluralism and party preferences, with Islamic HRM ethics acting as a mediating variable. These findings indicate that the influence of pluralism in digital politics is only effective when integrated with substantive ethical values. The implication is that strengthening ethical human resource governance and leadership with integrity are important prerequisites for increasing democratic participation and political professionalism in the context of Islamic society.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT OF BATIK MICRO, SMALL, AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES FOR CLEAN WATER CONSERVATION

2026-03-02T08:35:28+07:00

Batik wastewater generated by micro-scale industries typically contains high organic loads, intense coloration, and fluctuating pH, exceeding national discharge limits. This study aims to design, install, and evaluate a simple pilot-scale wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) using a coagulation–filtration–adsorption process for UMKM Batik Ulur Wiji in Indonesia. Wastewater quality was analyzed before and after treatment for pH, BOD, COD, TSS, TDS, turbidity, and color referring to Indonesian Ministry of Environment Regulation No. 5/2014. The results show a substantial improvement in water quality, with COD reduced from 857 to 112 mg/L and BOD from 358 to 68 mg/L. Turbidity decreased from 218 to 14 NTU, and color removal was visually significant. The treated effluent met key parameters for non-potable reuse. A partner satisfaction survey revealed increased environmental awareness, full operational understanding of WWTP, and long-term commitment to system use. This study demonstrates that simple low-cost treatment units are effective for batik wastewater management in micro-industries and provide a replicable model for community-based environmental interventions.

TECHNOLOGY TRANSFORMATION, FINANCIAL LITERACY, AND GOOD CORPORATE GOVERNANCE IN STRENGTHENING FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW OF MSMES AND THE FINANCIAL SECTOR

2026-03-02T08:35:42+07:00

Abstract. This study aims to map the role of technological transformation, financial literacy, and Good Corporate Governance (GCG) in strengthening financial performance in MSMEs and the financial sector through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. Using the PRISMA protocol, 29 articles from the Google Scholar, Crossref, and ScienceDirect databases for the period 2020–2025 were systematically analyzed. The results of the study show a relatively consistent pattern of findings that financial literacy and technological transformation have a positive effect on business performance and sustainability. However, the implementation of GCG still faces challenges at the MSME level due to limited resources, while in the financial sector, GCG has been proven to strengthen accountability despite variations in its impact on profitability ratios. The inconsistency of results in several studies indicates empirical gaps influenced by human resource capacity and regional characteristics. This study provides a theoretical contribution in the form of an integrative conceptual framework and practical advice for policymakers to optimize the digital ecosystem and governance education to improve the competitiveness of the MSME and financial sectors.

THE INFLUENCE OF INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL FACTORS ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EFFECTIVE CLASS MANAGEMENT

2026-03-02T08:37:17+07:00

Education plays a crucial role in shaping character, fostering creativity, and enhancing discipline in students. Learning success is largely determined by the teacher's skill in optimally and effectively organizing and controlling the classroom, aiming to create a conducive learning atmosphere that fosters enthusiasm and fosters students' creative potential. The effectiveness of classroom management is influenced by several factors, both internal and external. Internal factors include psychological aspects such as self-awareness, interest, motivation, and a positive mindset. Students with high motivation and self-awareness tend to be more active and responsible. Learning success is largely determined by the teacher's skill in optimally organizing and controlling the classroom. Research shows that the most dominant external factors are a lack of parental supervision and support, as well as a community environment that does not support discipline. Therefore, the main conclusion is that teachers must take a strategic role in balancing these internal and external influences. This can be achieved through the implementation of planned, collaborative, and contextual classroom management strategies, an inclusive, participatory learning environment, and one that supports the development of student creativity.

ANALYSIS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FAMILY QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM IN REALIZING GENDER EQUALITY IN BANDUNG CITY

2026-03-02T08:37:30+07:00

Gender equality is a development priority in various countries and is one of the main objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 5. In the Indonesian context, one of the key strategies to achieve it is through improving the quality of the family as a basic institution in the formation of social norms. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the family quality improvement program run by the Bandung City Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Agency (DP3A) and evaluate the extent to which the program reflects the principles of Gender Responsive Governance (GRG) and contributes to the achievement of SDG 5. Using a qualitative policy research approach, data were obtained through interviews with DP3A officials as well as studies of regulatory documents and statistical data. The research findings indicate that the DP3A plays a primary role as a coordinator within a cross-sectoral ecosystem encompassing other government agencies, community organizations, and pentahelix partners. Several programs, such as PUSPAGA (Fathers' School), Sekolah Ayah (Fathers' School), Sekolah Remaja (Youth School), and the Keluarga 2P (Family 2P) movement, have successfully improved parenting literacy and gender awareness. However, challenges persist, including budget constraints, minimal male representation in family programs, and low achievement of objectives such as the Gender Development Index (GDI). This article concludes that policy implementation has reflected GRG principles, but its impact on changing gender norms still requires ongoing intervention. Recommendations are provided for institutional aspects, service expansion, and strengthening data integration across agencies

GENDER RESPONSIVENESS IN THE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN PREVENTION PROGRAM IN BANDUNG CITY: AN ANALYSIS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SDGS 5-BASED DP3A

2026-03-02T08:37:44+07:00

Violence against women remains a priority issue in the context of local government and is one of the indicators for achieving SDGs 5. The Bandung City Government, through the DP3A (Regional Development Planning Agency), implements the Prevention of Violence Against Women Program to strengthen efforts to protect and fulfill women's rights. This study aims to analyze the implementation of this program by assessing the level of gender responsiveness in the policy process and its implementation. The research approach uses a qualitative descriptive-evaluative method through interviews and a review of official documents such as the Strategic Plan (RENSTRA), program reports, and data on gender-based violence. The analytical framework uses David Easton's policy system model and the Gender Mainstreaming (PUG) perspective. Initial results indicate that the policy has a strong regulatory basis and is aligned with the mandate of SDGs 5. However, its implementation still faces challenges such as limited gender-responsive budgets, cross-sectoral coordination, and the use of gender-disaggregated data. These findings indicate a gap between policy formulation and implementation, necessitating the strengthening of more gender-responsive service design.

The program was put into action in Muara Penimbung Ulu Village, Ogan Ilir Regency. It was aimed at micro, small, and medium-sized businesses, housewives, and young people. The answer included community socialization events, technical instruction on how to compost organic trash and turn inorganic waste into handicrafts, using composting equipment at home, and mentoring on how to run a business based on waste. We evaluated the program's success by how well participants understood it, made products, and engaged with the community. The results indicated that people were more aware of the environment, more involved in their communities, and able to make compost and recycled crafts. This program helps the community reduce trash, improve the quality of the environment, and create long-lasting green jobs.

DEVELOPMENT OF CONCENTRATE-COMBINED SILAGE TECHNOLOGY FOR SUSTAINABLE WASTE MANAGEMENT AND ENHANCED GOAT PRODUCTIVITY IN KAHURIPAN URBAN VILLAGE

2026-03-02T08:38:27+07:00

The sustainability of small ruminant farming in developing regions is often constrained by feed scarcity during the dry season, low animal productivity due to unbalanced nutrition, and ineffective agricultural waste management. This program addressed these challenges by implementing a concentrate-combined silage technology within the Farmers Group (Poktan) and Women Farmers Group (KWT) in Kahuripan Urban Village. The primary objective was to transform abundant local corn stover into high-quality, stable animal feed. A quasi-experimental (pretest-posttest) design was employed to evaluate the intervention's effectiveness. Results indicated a statistically improvement in the participants' knowledge regarding nutrition and silage technology (2.84 and 2.7 for KWT and Poktan, respectively). The resulting silage, enriched with concentrate, demonstrated optimal fermentation success, confirmed by achieving an pH range is 3.8 and favorable physical characteristics. Crucially, the introduction of this enriched silage into the feeding regimen of goats at Poktan led to a higher Average Daily Gain (ADG) compared to the traditional forage-only diet, thereby enhancing livestock productivity and resolving the problem of nutrient deficiency. This technology offers a sustainable, dual-benefit strategy by simultaneously converting agricultural by-products into a reliable feed source, ensuring year-round feed security, and improving the economic viability of small-scale goat farming.

DYNAMICS OF OVERSIGHT OF PUBLIC POLICY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF STATE ADMINISTRATIVE LAW IN THE DIGITAL ERA

2026-03-02T08:42:30+07:00

The digital revolution has transformed the delivery of public services in Indonesia through digitalization processes and electronic-based government systems (SPBE). This change makes it easier for the public to access services, reduces corruption practices, and enhances government transparency and accountability. Nevertheless, there are several legal challenges in managing digital services, such as questions about the validity of digital administrative decisions, liability for system errors, differences in digital access, and personal data protection. This study uses a normative legal approach by analyzing legislation and related literature. The research findings indicate that administrative law plays an important role in overseeing and improving the performance of effective, efficient, transparent, and accountable governance, while also serving as the legal foundation for inclusive and equitable digital transformation. Problems in implementing digitalization Public services such as infrastructure disparities, digital literacy gaps, bureaucratic unwillingness to change, data security issues, and incomplete policies need to be addressed with a flexible and integrated legal approach.

Participants were also able to create promotional content, manage social media accounts, and begin expanding their marketing networks. Overall, the program had positive impacts, including enhanced self‑confidence, strengthened business capacity, and greater opportunities to improve household income among coastal families.

LEGAL RESPONSIVENESS IN WASTE MANAGEMENT TO ADDRESS THE ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS BASED ON SATJIPTO RAHARDJO’S RESPONSIVE LAW THEORY

2026-03-02T08:44:16+07:00

This study examines the responsiveness of Indonesia’s legal framework in addressing the escalating waste management crisis through the perspective of Satjipto Rahardjo’s responsive law theory. Waste has emerged as a multidimensional environmental issue influenced by population growth, consumption patterns, and limited waste processing capacity. Although Law No. 18 of 2008 provides a normative foundation for integrated waste management, its implementation remains inconsistent and often disconnected from social realities. This research analyzes gaps between regulation and practice, particularly regarding public participation, institutional coordination, and infrastructure readiness. Using a normative–qualitative legal method with statutory, conceptual, and socio-legal approaches, the study evaluates how responsive law principles can strengthen waste governance. The findings show that Indonesia’s waste regulations have not fully embodied responsiveness, as communities are still treated primarily as objects rather than active partners, and local initiatives are not optimally integrated into policy. This study proposes a model of ecological responsiveness, emphasizing adaptive regulation, community empowerment, and collaborative governance. These recommendations contribute to developing a more effective and sustainable legal framework capable of addressing environmental challenges.

Using a quantitative method with a One Group Pretest-Posttest pre-experimental design, the study involved eleven children at the Kota Ilmu Plus Kindergarten. The intervention was carried out for three weeks with a frequency of once per week, a duration of 30-45 minutes per session. Data were collected through structured observations measuring the ability to count, problem solving, logical thinking, focus, and memory. The results showed a decrease in the average score from 20.82 (Developing According to Expectations) in the pre-test to 15.82 (Starting to Develop) in the post-test, with an increase in variance from 11.76 to 84.76. A paired sample t-test showed a significant difference (t=2.355; p=0.040<0.05). The analysis identified internal factors (cognitive maturity, emotional state, motivation, learning style, concentration, physical condition, previous experience) and external factors (student grouping, time management, lesson planning, teacher competence) that influence learning outcomes. The study concluded that the effectiveness of the congklak game is highly dependent on the suitability of the application to the individual characteristics of the child and requires attention to supporting learning factors. A differentiated approach that considers the child's cognitive-emotional readiness, adequate time allocation, and responsive teaching strategies to individual needs is needed.

MAIN DETERMINING FACTORS OF INTEREST AND MOTIVATION IN LEARNING AMONG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

2026-03-02T21:48:52+07:00

This study aims to identify and analyze the main determinant factors that most dominantly influence the interest and learning motivation of Elementary School (SD) students. Fluctuations in interest and motivation are often the main obstacles to achieving optimal learning outcomes at the elementary level. The research employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, involving the critical identification, evaluation, and synthesis of relevant primary studies. The synthesis of empirical findings indicates that students' interest and motivation are significantly influenced by both internal and external factors. Internal factors include students' physical and mental condition, intelligence, and attitude towards the lesson, while the most dominant external factors relate to the teacher's role, encompassing teacher creativity in varied methods and media usage, and creating a conducive classroom environment. Furthermore, environmental support, particularly the role of parents and the availability of facilities, is also a crucial determinant. Intrinsic motivation factors, such as drive, needs in learning, and future aspirations, were found to be quite dominant. These findings confirm that effective learning strategies must be student-centered and supported by improving teacher competency in classroom management and instructional innovation, as well as active collaboration with parents.

THE IMPACT OF DIGITAL LITERACY ON POLITICAL TRUST

2026-03-02T21:48:28+07:00

The phenomenon of political hoaxes poses a serious challenge to political communication in the digital era, particularly with the widespread use of social media. Hoaxes not only distort information but also have the potential to reduce political trust and undermine the quality of democracy. This study aims to analyze the relationship and influence of digital literacy on political trust among young social media users. The study employed a positivistic paradigm with a quantitative approach through a survey method. The study population was college students who used Instagram, with a sample of 399 respondents in West Java. Data were collected through a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire measuring digital literacy and political trust, then analyzed using SPSS. The test results showed that all research instruments were valid and reliable. Spearman correlation analysis showed a positive and significant relationship between digital literacy and political trust (r = 0.355; p < 0.05). Furthermore, binary logistic regression analysis showed that digital literacy significantly influenced the likelihood of respondents having a high level of political trust (Exp(B) = 1.268). These findings confirm that digital literacy plays a protective role in dealing with political hoaxes and is important in maintaining the quality of political communication and democracy in the digital era.

APPLICATION OF SOLAR FEED FERMENTOR TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY OF FERMENTED FEED PRODUCTION AT BALEBAT FARM, KALIJAYA VILLAGE

2026-03-02T21:48:01+07:00

EFFECTIVENESS OF VICTIM PROTECTION IN HUMAN TRAFFICKING CRIMES: A REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW

2026-03-02T21:47:11+07:00

Human trafficking as a transnational crime requires legal responses aligned with international standards, particularly the Palermo Protocol. Victim protection is a critical aspect considering the vulnerability of victims' positions. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of victim protection in human trafficking cases in Indonesia and assess its compliance with international criminal law principles. The research method employs a normative legal approach through legislative studies, conceptual analysis, and literature review of national and international legal frameworks. Data were collected through document studies, doctrinal analysis, and interviews with legal practitioners to deepen understanding of implementation issues. The research findings indicate that although victim protection has been normatively regulated under Law No. 21 of 2007 and the authority of the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK), its implementation remains ineffective. Challenges include limitations in ongoing assistance, minimal asset tracing mechanisms, weak fulfillment of restitution rights, and suboptimal inter-agency coordination. Compared to international standards, protection in Indonesia remains procedural and does not yet reflect a holistic approach in accordance with the 3P principles (prevention, protection, prosecution). The study concludes that there is a gap between legal norms and the implementation of victim protection.

THE DIFFERENCE IN THE EFFECT OF FIGURE EIGHT WRAPS AROUND AND FIGURE EIGHT DRIBBLE EXERCISES ON THE DRIBBLE SKILLS OF DM BASKETBALL CLUB BASKETBALL PLAYERS IN 2025

2026-03-02T21:46:51+07:00

Dribbling is one of the fundamental skills in basketball and is especially important for beginner players, as it plays a major role in overall game control. Observations of athletes at DM Basket Club revealed several problems, including low dribbling ability, stiff movements, excessive focus on the ball, poor ball control and direction, as well as suboptimal coordination and agility. These conditions cause athletes to have difficulty avoiding opponents and to easily lose ball possession during games. This study aimed to determine the differences in the effects of figure eight wraps around training and figure eight dribble training on the dribbling skills of DM Basket Club basketball players in 2025. The study employed a quantitative experimental method with a pre-test and post-test two-group design using matching pairing. The population and sample consisted of 12 athletes selected through total sampling. Data analysis was conducted using normality tests, homogeneity tests, and t-tests. The results showed that both figure eight wraps around training and figure eight dribble training had a significant effect on improving athletes’ dribbling skills. However, there was no significant difference in the effect between the two types of training, indicating that both training methods are equally effective in enhancing the dribbling skills of DM Basket Club basketball players.

2026-03-02T21:46:29+07:00

This study explores the implementation of the 7 Great Habits of Indonesian Children (KAIH) Program in shaping the character of sixth-grade students at UPT SD Negeri 141 Inpres Parappunganta II, Takalar Regency. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research was conducted over two months and involved sixth-grade students, teachers, and the school principal. Data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured in-depth interviews, and document analysis. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification, with trustworthiness ensured through triangulation, member checking, and peer debriefing. The findings indicate that the implementation of the KAIH Program significantly improved students’ character, as shown by an increase in average behavioral scores from the “Sufficient” category to the “Very Good” category within one month. The program effectively fostered discipline, spirituality, independence, social responsibility, and healthy lifestyle habits. However, habits related to waking up early and sleeping early required continuous reinforcement due to external environmental influences. Key supporting factors included strong school leadership, teacher commitment, parental involvement, and student enthusiasm. The study concludes that the KAIH Program is an effective strategy for character education, provided that sustained collaboration among schools, families, and communities is maintained.

The Mini Store simulation proved to be an effective medium for applied learning in instilling national values and basic financial literacy. Thus, this program can be an alternative model for strengthening national identity for Indonesian students abroad through an educational and practical approach.

ENGINEERING INNOVATION FOR RURAL WASTE MANAGEMENT: DEVELOPMENT OF AN ORGANIC WASTE CHOPPER MACHINE IN JEMBER REGENCY

2026-03-03T21:48:24+07:00

Waste management remains a critical challenge in rural and semi-urban communities in Indonesia, where limited infrastructure and low public awareness often lead to environmental degradation. Jelbuk Village in Jember Regency produces approximately 1,200 kg of household waste per day, most of which is disposed of in rivers or vacant land. This condition has resulted in pollution, health risks, and flooding, while the economic potential of waste recycling remains untapped. To address these issues, the Universitas Jember community service team implemented an integrated waste management program that combines technical innovation with community empowerment. The technical approach involved designing and fabricating a portable organic waste chopper machine with a capacity of 120 kg/hour, enabling the production of compost from organic waste. In parallel, inorganic waste such as plastics and metals was separated for recycling. The non-technical approach included training, awareness campaigns, and mentoring in simple bookkeeping to strengthen community capacity for sustainable waste management. The program successfully reduced waste accumulation, improved sanitation, and created new economic opportunities through compost production and the sale of recyclable materials. Furthermore, the involvement of students in design and implementation enhanced academic outcomes and knowledge transfer. This initiative demonstrates that integrated technical and social approaches can effectively transform waste problems into community-based solutions with long-term sustainability.

ASSESSMENT OF KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE, AND PRACTICE (KAP) RELATED TO ORAL HEALTH IN RESIDENTS OF THE PUSKESMAS PEGIRIAN AREA

2026-04-11T21:55:36+07:00

Oral and dental health remain important public health issues because they directly affect overall well-being and quality of life. Community-based Puskesmas play a crucial role in promoting preventive oral health habits within the community. This study explored levels of knowledge, attitudes, and daily practices regarding oral health among community members at Pegirian Puskesmas. A descriptive study was conducted with 50 participants who took part in an oral health education activity. The analysis revealed that most participants possessed good knowledge and held very positive attitudes toward oral health; however, these attitudes were not always reflected in their everyday practices. The primary challenge identified was the disparity between what people know and how they apply it in their daily lives. For this reason, health education was delivered with an emphasis on strengthening behaviour and providing practical guidance. The results indicated that attitudes were the strongest aspect, followed by knowledge, while oral health practices remained the weakest. In conclusion, oral health promotion efforts should not only aim to increase knowledge and improve attitudes but also place greater focus on behaviour-based approaches to achieve lasting oral health outcomes.

SOCIAL FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE SUCCESS OF THE ELDERLY POSYANDU PROGRAM IN THE WORKING AREA OF THE SADABUAN HEALTH CENTER, PADANG SIDIMPUAN CITY

2026-03-02T08:50:04+07:00

Posyandu Elderly program in the working area of the Sadabuan Health Center, Padangsidimpuan City. The increase in the number of the elderly along with the increase in life expectancy requires optimal and sustainable health services. This study uses a quantitative approach with an analytical descriptive design. The study population is all elderly people who are registered as participants of the Elderly Posyandu, with samples taken using stratified random sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentation studies. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS through descriptive and inferential analysis. The results of the study showed that the level of education of the elderly did not have a significant effect on the level of participation in Posyandu Elderly activities. On the other hand, family support, social interaction of the elderly, and activities of health cadres have an influence on the success of program implementation. Elderly people who receive family support and have good social interaction tend to be more active in participating in activities. The active role of cadres also increases the effectiveness of services. It was concluded that social factors have an important role in supporting the success of the Elderly Posyandu, so it is necessary to strengthen family support and empower health cadres in a sustainable manner.

2026-04-11T21:55:12+07:00

The Baitul Maal Foundation of PLN (YBM PLN) Research Institute, located at Jl. PLN Duren Tiga no. 102, Pancoran, South Jakarta, has dozens of fostered families who are underprivileged families in the surrounding area. Scholarships for schoolchildren have been in place as a sort of guidance. Students fostered by YBM PLN require nutritional support to help them learn in school and strengthen their immune systems. As a result, community service and education activities that reinforce the concept of eating healthy and nutritious foods as part of a clean and healthy living behaviour (PHBS) are essential. As a result, there is a greater understanding and awareness of the need of proper nutrition for child development, particularly throughout the school years. Fulfilling family nutrition needs, beginning with nutritious and balanced home meals in combination with Indonesian herbs, will boost immunity, prevent disease, and promote students' learning activities.

SEXUAL EDUCATION THROUGH DOLLS TO STRENGTHEN PERSONAL SAFETY OF CHILDREN WITH HIV/AIDS AT LENTERA FOUNDATION SURAKARTA

2026-04-11T21:54:49+07:00

Children with HIV/AIDS are a vulnerable group that needs to strengthen their understanding of personal safety from an early age due to limited knowledge and the risk of experiencing unsafe treatment. Situation analysis shows that personal safety education that is appropriate to the child's age and condition is still limited, so that children do not fully understand the limits of their personal body and how to protect themselves. These problems are the basis for the implementation of community service activities that aim to increase the understanding of personal safety of children with HIV/AIDS through education using puppet props. The activity was carried out at the Surakarta Lentera Foundation involving 15 children aged 6-12 years. The activity method includes pre-test, interactive education about personal body parts, safe and unsafe touch, and direct practice using puppet props, then ending with a post-test. The results of the activity showed an increase in the average score of children's understanding from 66.1% before the activity to 95.2% after the activity. In addition, children show the courage to tell stories and ask for help when they are in uncomfortable situations. This activity is complemented by the implementation of training of trainers for caregivers and the submission of educational manuals as an effort to sustain the program. It can be concluded that personal safety education based on doll props is effective, easy to accept, and feasible to apply to community service activities for other vulnerable children.
