This community service activity aims to design a prototype of a web-based Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) registration information system at the South Sumatra Provincial Industry Office as an effort to support the improvement of public service quality. The main problem faced by partners is the manual registration and management process for IPR data, which has the potential to cause service delays, data recording errors, and difficulties in monitoring the status of IPR applications. This condition requires an information technology-based solution that can improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and transparency of services. The method used in this community service activity is the prototype method, which includes the stages of problem identification, user needs analysis, system design, and initial evaluation of the resulting prototype. The designed information system prototype includes features for online IPR registration, applicant and document data management, and application status monitoring. The results of the activity indicate that the IPR registration information system prototype is able to provide an overview of digital solutions that are in accordance with partner needs and have the potential to improve service efficiency and ease of data management. This activity is expected to become the basis for the development of a more comprehensive and sustainable IPR information system within the South Sumatra Provincial Industry Office.

The problem of waste dumping on Bali coast must be regarded as an ecological crisis which proves to be unseen under many perspectives. The article is about the making of a documentary film Apocalyptic Tides as an advocacy and educational tool bringing up this issue by means of the expository documentary style with highlights of poetry and performance elements in play. The method of field observation, semi-structured interviews with activist and scholars and visual documentation are also used in the research, followed by analysis and compiling of information with the help of non-linear editing tools by using Adobe Premiere Pro software. The film is set on a thematic narrative that shows the process of the waste as it goes upstream to downstream and how it affects the ecology and thoughts on the ecological consciousness. Techniques of non-linear editing were applied to organize the footage according to emotional echo and the schemes of meaning instead of the chronological order, thus creating an intellectually stimulating and reflective storyline. Apocalyptic Tides proves the power of documentary film to bridge the gap between art, science, and advocacy in case of creating the ecology-minded population.

The increasing intensity of ultraviolet (UV) radiation due to global warming poses serious risks to skin health and has led to a rising market demand for natural-based skincare products. Jabiras Body Scrub is an innovative body care product formulated from guava and brown rice to protect and nourish the skin from UV exposure. This program aims to produce an organic-based skincare product while empowering local farmers as raw material suppliers. The target market includes men and women aged 17 and above across Indonesia, including visiting tourists. Laboratory tests show that each 50-gram package of Jabiras contains 3% vitamin C and 1% antioxidants, which are effective in improving skin condition within two weeks. The product is registered with a Business Identification Number (NIB) and has obtained Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) for its brand and promotional flyer. Marketing strategies are carried out digitally via social media and e-commerce, as well as conventionally through entrepreneurship expos and word of mouth. This initiative has reached its break-even point, with a total of 250 units sold from May to September, generating IDR 9,750,000 in revenue. This activity not only achieved its sales targets but also strengthened the foundation for a sustainable business model that supports local farmers.

Post-harvest handling of fish requires an effective cold chain system, including the availability of ice factories, to preserve the quality and freshness of catches. The presence of an ice factory enables fishermen to bring ice during fishing trips, ensuring the catch remains safe for consumption. The planning of a portable mini ice factory in Ciwaru Village, located within the Ciletuh National Geopark, aims to maintain fish quality along the southern coast of West Java. Although several ice factories exist in Sukabumi Regency, their availability at fish landing sites such as the Ciwaru Fish Auction Place (TPI) remains insufficient. According to the Regulation of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries No. 2 of 2021, assistance for ice factory construction is provided to fishermen groups following a feasibility study submission. This community service project aims to assist fishermen cooperatives in improving cold chain management and preparing a feasibility study for ice factory development. Key issues identified include limited human resource competence, hygiene and sanitation challenges, feasibility study preparation, and internal communication enhancement within cooperatives. Solutions are implemented through training programs, cold chain method applications, feasibility analysis for mini ice factories, and the development of an information system for fishermen. The planned ice factory unit has a capacity of 1 ton per 8-hour cycle, supported by three freshwater wells near the site. Economic analysis reveals an NPV of Rp1,170,676,141, an IRR of 10.91%, and a Net B/C Ratio of 1.64, with a BEP at 311 tons/year, well below the installed capacity of 788 tons/year, confirming its economic viability. The resulting feasibility study will serve as the basis for applying for government assistance, complemented by scientific publications, national media coverage, video documentation, and intellectual property registration.
