A Diagnostic Overview of Geriatric Oral Cavity in Randegansari, Gresik

Nurfitri Amaliah — 2026-06-02

As the global population ages, the intersection of systemic health, polypharmacy, and oral pathology presents a growing challenge for geriatric care. In elderly populations, oral health is often a reflection of systemic well-being, where chronic diseases and their pharmacological treatments directly modify the oral environment. This study aimed to provide a diagnostic overview of the oral health status—specifically dental caries experience and oral mucosal lesions—among a geriatric and pre-geriatric cohort in Randegansari, Gresik. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted involving 35 respondents (62.9% female; 37.1% male). Clinical examinations were performed to determine the Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMF-T) index and to identify Oral Mucosal Lesions (OMLs). Systemic health history and routine medication use were also recorded to contextualize clinical findings. The mean DMF-T score for the population was 6.86, categorized as "Very High" according to WHO severity scales. The index was dominated by the Decayed (4.29) and Missing (2.51) components, while the Filling component was remarkably low (0.06). Systemic comorbidities were prevalent, with Diabetes Mellitus (34.3%) and Hypertension (25.7%) being the most frequent, accompanied by high rates of polypharmacy (71.4%). Notably, 100% of respondents exhibited oral mucosal findings, with Coated Tongue being the most ubiquitous lesion across all age and gender groups. There is an urgent need for integrated geriatric health programs that prioritize biofilm control, tongue hygiene, and minimally invasive restorative interventions to prevent further dental loss.

Legal Communication for Gen Z, Disability Groups, and Fishing Communities Through Cultural Da'wah Approach in Jakarta

Dini Wahdiyati — 2026-06-02

For some grassroots communities, legal issues are problems that are not widely understood and seem complicated. Therefore, they have gained an understanding of the law, especially related to their rights through legal communication. Because the target of this community service activity is grassroots groups, the approach uses Cultural Da'wah. The cultural da'wah approach is one of Muhammadiyah's da'wah strategies in spreading Islamic teachings by integrating the values of Islamic teachings with local traditions, creatively, persuasively, and humanistically. By using problem-solving methods such as lectures, interactive discussions, and focus group discussions, this activity can provide understanding, awareness, and empowerment regarding legal issues that are often faced by grassroots communities. They understand the legal aspects related to electronic-based sexual violence, the rights of persons with disabilities, the protection and empowerment of fishermen. They are also aware and empowered to deal with the legal problems they face because they already understand the legal and legal aspects related to their respective groups. In conclusion, as a form of cultural da'wah, this activity has very good implications as an effort to understand, awareness, and empower legal issues through legal communication so that they become legally literate and can overcome the legal problems they face.

Vital Health Indicator Screening for Early Detection of Non-Communicable Diseases in Sigapiton Village, North Sumatra

Muh. Arfah — 2026-06-03

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) pose a growing global health burden, including in rural Indonesia. This community service program conducted vital health indicator screenings—covering blood pressure, blood glucose, uric acid, and total cholesterol—alongside structured health education on NCD prevention and control for residents of Sigapiton Village, Ajibata District, Toba Regency, North Sumatra. The program applied a community-based health screening approach with a quantitative descriptive design combined with a health education intervention. A total of 87 participants were enrolled (mean age 46.3 ± 12.7 years; 43.7% male, 56.3% female). Screening findings revealed hypertension in 34.5%, elevated blood glucose in 18.4%, hyperuricemia in 27.6%, and high total cholesterol in 31.0% of participants. Pre-post test evaluation demonstrated a mean knowledge score improvement of 27.5 points (from 52.3 ± 9.1 to 79.8 ± 7.4), with the greatest gains in knowledge of modifiable NCD risk factors (+35.2 points) and the benefits of routine health check-ups (+31.6 points). Notably, 72.4% of participants had never undergone any preventive health examination in the past year, underscoring the critical diagnostic gap in this rural setting. The high prevalence of hyperuricemia—exceeding the national average—reflects local dietary patterns rich in high-purine foods common in the Lake Toba region. Community-based health screening combined with contextual health education proved effective as an early detection and prevention strategy for NCDs at the village level. Routine integration of such programs into the existing primary health care system is recommended.

The Difference in the Effect of Passing Practice on Flat and Non-Flat Surface Walls on the Endurance of Male Sepak Takraw Athletes Fostered by Psti Serdang Bedagai in 2025

Aldi Gunawan — 2026-06-03

Sepak takraw is a team sport played using the feet, body, and head, except the hands, with a maximum of three touches. Therefore, this sport requires fundamental technical skills in controlling and managing the ball to score points in each game. In sepak takraw, each team consists of three players: the left apit, right apit, and tekong. This study was motivated by the low defensive ability of male sepak takraw athletes under the guidance of PSTI Serdang Bedagai. This is evident from the frequent failures in juggling the ball, receiving serves, controlling the ball, passing, and defending against opponents' attacks during matches. In fact, defensive ability plays a crucial role in maintaining the playing area and serving as a foundation for building counterattacks.This study aims to determine: (1) the effect of passing exercises using a flat wall surface, (2) the effect of passing exercises using an uneven wall surface, and (3) the difference in the effects between these two training methods on the defensive ability of male sepak takraw athletes under PSTI Serdang Bedagai in 2025.The research method used was an experimental method with a pretest–posttest design. The population consisted of 16 athletes, with a sample of 8 athletes selected based on specific criteria. The study was conducted over 18 sessions within 4 weeks. The research instrument was a defensive ability test, and data were analyzed using a t-test at a 5% significance level after fulfilling the normality and homogeneity requirements. The results showed that passing exercises using a flat wall surface had a significant effect on athletes' defensive ability, with a t-value of 2.795 > t-table of 2.353. Passing exercises using an uneven wall surface also had a significant effect, with a t-value of 18.800 > t-table of 2.353. However, the third hypothesis test indicated that there was no significant difference between the two training methods, as the t-value of 0.454 < t-table of 2.446. In conclusion, both types of training, passing using a flat wall surface and an uneven wall surface, are equally effective in improving the defensive ability of male sepak takraw athletes under PSTI Serdang Bedagai in 2025.

Raihan Rahmad Hartoyo — 2026-06-03

The low arm muscle power and passing ability of MAN 2 Model Medan basketball athletes is the problem addressed in this study. This condition causes a decrease in playing effectiveness and teamwork. This study aims to determine the effect of medicine ball chest throw and kettlebell floor press exercises on the arm muscle power of male basketball athletes at the MAN 2 Model Medan club. The research method applied in this study was a Pre-test and post-test two-group design. The research sample consisted of 12 male athletes divided into two groups, namely the medicine ball chest throw group and the kettlebell floor press group. The research was conducted over 18 sessions. The first hypothesis test shows that the t-count > t-table (8,06 > 2.571). It is concluded that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, which means that there is a significant effect of medicine ball chest throw training on arm muscle power. The second hypothesis test shows that the t-count > t-table (6,79 > 2.571). It can be concluded that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, which means that there is a significant effect of kettlebell floor press training on arm muscle power. The third hypothesis test shows that t-count > t-table (9.13 > 2.571). It can be concluded that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, meaning that there is a significant effect of medicine ball chest throw training on passing ability. The fourth hypothesis test shows that t-count > t-table (5.70 > 2.571). It can be concluded that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, meaning that there is a significant effect of kettlebell floor press training on passing ability. The fifth hypothesis test shows that t-count < t-table (2,06 < 2.228). This can be concluded that there is no significant difference in the effect between the post-test of the medicine ball chest throw group and the post-test of the kettlebell floor press group on arm muscle power. However, the calculations show that the medicine ball chest throw group exercise has better results than the kettlebell floor press group on arm muscle power. The sixth hypothesis test shows that the t-count is less than the t-table (1.93 < 2.228). It can be concluded that there is no significant difference in the effect between the post-test of the medicine ball chest throw group and the post-test of the kettlebell floor press group on passing ability. However, the calculations show that the medicine ball chest throw group exercise has better results than the kettlebell pullover group on passing ability.

An Examination of the Principle of Due Care in the Regional Government’s Policy on the Construction of the Kelingking Beach Lift

Elizabeth Prima Ratrisari — 2026-06-03

Large-scale tourism infrastructure development in coastal areas often triggers conflicts between economic interests and ecological sustainability. This study examines the case of the construction of a glass elevator at Kelingking Beach, Nusa Penida, which was halted by the Bali Provincial Government due to various regulatory violations. The main focus of this research is to analyze the extent of the authority of local governments in controlling tourism development following the enactment of the Job Creation Law, as well as how the principles of sustainable tourism are integrated into regional policies. Using a normative legal research method, the findings indicate that the project violated five fundamental legal instruments, including spatial planning non-compliance, the absence of a Sea Space Utilization Approval, and the neglect of Bali’s cultural tourism standards. This analysis concludes that although business licensing procedures have been simplified through the Online Single Submission system, local governments still possess both attributive and delegative authority in supervisory and spatial control functions to ensure environmental carrying capacity sustainability and the protection of local wisdom.

The Relationship between the Bandwagon Effect and Students' Career Decision Making at Taruna Satria Vocational School, Pekanbaru

Fitri Muslimah — 2026-06-03

This study aims to analyze the relationship between the bandwagon effect and career decision-making among students of SMK Taruna Satria Pekanbaru. This phenomenon is motivated by the tendency of students in determining career choices that are not entirely based on personal considerations, but are influenced by social environments such as peers, family, and trends in social media. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational research type. The study population was 150 students with a sample of 60 students determined through the Slovin formula with a simple random sampling technique. The research instrument used a Likert scale questionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability. The data analysis technique used Spearman Rank correlation because the data was not normally distributed. The results showed that the level of bandwagon effect was in the fairly high category of 41.7%, while career decision-making was in the fairly high category of 50%. The results of the correlation test showed a coefficient value of 0.508, which means there is a positive relationship with a moderate level of strength between the bandwagon effect and career decision-making. This finding indicates that the higher the tendency of the bandwagon effect, the greater the influence of the social environment in the student's career decision-making process.

A Model of Empowering Children in Orphanages Through Zero-Waste Textile Craft: A Study in an Gunungan Surakarta Orphanage

Nadia Sigi Prameswari — 2026-06-03

This community service offers a strategic solution in the form of strengthening the creative capacity of zero-waste textile craft based on upcycling industrial waste fabric scraps through collaboration with the Gunungan Surakarta Orphanage located in the industrial center area of Kampung Blangkon Potrojayan which is famous for its blangkon crafts. Kampung Blangkon Surakarta is known as a blangkon craft center that accommodates 40 active craftsmen with unique designs as a local cultural identity. However, the production process produces 25 kg of scrap fabric waste per week that has not been systematically managed and the waste is always thrown away without added value. On the other hand, craftsmen still focus on the main product blangkon without developing derivative designs based on waste, so the potential for product diversification and strengthening the creative economy based on sustainability has not been optimal. Textile waste is identified and processed into valuable craft products such as souvenirs and unique accessories through the sustainable Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, including training in knowledge of patchwork materials, craft design techniques with upcycling methods, product management and marketing strategies, as well as attractive and valuable packaging techniques. This program aims to strengthen the creativity of orphanage children by optimizing production waste management and developing a sustainable social enterprise model. The urgency of collaboration lies in creating synergy between the creative industry and social institutions in building a community-based circular economy ecosystem. With this integrated approach, this innovation is expected to increase the added value of textiles while simultaneously promoting the sustainable economic independence of orphanage groups.

Safe Movement, Comfortable Living: Optimizing Health and Productivity among Older Adults at RPTRA Masudela, Sawah Besar District

Ratu Chairunisa — 2026-06-12

Falls remain one of the most frequent health concerns among older adults, often affecting mobility, independence, and overall well-being. Limited understanding of fall risk factors may increase the likelihood of accidents and reduce participation in daily activities. This community service activity was conducted to improve older adults’ knowledge of fall prevention, safe movement, mobility maintenance, and productive aging. The program took place on June 2, 2026, at RPTRA Masudela, Sawah Besar District, Central Jakarta, and involved 30 female participants aged 60–68 years. The activity consisted of health education sessions, interactive discussions, balance and mobility exercise demonstrations, and knowledge assessments using pre-test and post-test questionnaires. Participants received information on common causes of falls, preventive strategies in everyday life, and the importance of maintaining physical activity in later years. Following the intervention, participants showed a noticeable improvement in their understanding of the topics presented. The average knowledge score increased from 62 before the activity to 88 after the intervention. In addition, more participants achieved good and very good knowledge categories in the post-test assessment. These results suggest that combining health education with practical exercise demonstrations can be an effective approach to increasing awareness of fall prevention and encouraging active aging among older adults.
