Background: Exclusive breastfeeding is crucial for improving maternal and infant health, yet its success remains inconsistent, influenced by psychological factors such as breastfeeding self-efficacy. Mothers with high confidence are more likely to maintain exclusive breastfeeding despite physical and emotional challenges postpartum. Limited evidence exists regarding this relationship at the community level. Objective: This study analyzed the relationship between breastfeeding self-efficacy and successful exclusive breastfeeding among postpartum mothers. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted in Sliyeg Village, the working area of Puskesmas Sliyeg, Indramayu, in March 2026. The population included postpartum mothers with infants aged 0–6 months. A total of 68 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF) and an observation sheet for exclusive breastfeeding success. The Chi-Square test was used for analysis with a significance level of α=0.05. Results: Most respondents had high breastfeeding self-efficacy (61.8%) and successfully practiced exclusive breastfeeding (66.2%). Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between breastfeeding self-efficacy and exclusive breastfeeding success (p=0.001). Conclusion: Breastfeeding self-efficacy is significantly associated with the success of exclusive breastfeeding among postpartum mothers. Enhancing lactation education, family support, and counseling is recommended to strengthen maternal confidence and promote successful exclusive breastfeeding practices.

Indramayu mango is a seasonal fruit that is highly favored due to its delicious taste and high nutritional content. However, high mango production is often not supported by adequate post-harvest facilities, particularly in terms of fruit ripeness classification. Currently, mango ripeness classification is still performed manually, which tends to be subjective and inconsistent. To address this issue, this study proposes a ripeness detection system for Indramayu mangoes by integrating the TGS2602 gas sensor and the YOLOv11 algorithm based on image processing. The TGS2602 sensor is used to detect ethylene gas emitted by ripe mangoes, while YOLOv11 is employed for visual image analysis of the fruit. This study aims to evaluate the system’s performance in classifying ripe and unripe mangoes, as well as analyze the integration between the gas sensor and the object detection model. The test results show that the TGS2602 sensor can detect increased ethylene gas concentration in ripe mangoes, while YOLOv11 demonstrates high accuracy in detecting mangoes based on visual images, with precision and recall close to 1.0. The system was also tested under various lighting conditions, including dark environments, and still performed well, although with a slight decrease in accuracy under low-light conditions.

Public legal awareness is an important element in realizing an orderly, just, and law-based social life, as it enables citizens to understand and properly carry out their rights and obligations. In Mekarjaya Village, Gantar District, Indramayu Regency, a low level of public understanding of the hierarchy of laws and regulations is still evident, which has the potential to cause errors in the application of law within families and communities. This condition indicates the need for systematic, contextual, and easily understood legal socialization. This Community Service Program aims to improve the understanding of members of the Paguyuban Istri Peduli regarding the hierarchy of laws and regulations, while strengthening their role as agents for disseminating legal information within the surrounding community. The method employed is descriptive qualitative with a participatory approach through the delivery of materials, interactive discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and joint reflection. Data were collected through direct observation, oral question-and-answer sessions, and participant feedback forms. The results show an increase in participants’ understanding, high levels of participation in discussions, and the ability to relate legal concepts to real conditions. These findings confirm that participatory-based legal socialization is effective in enhancing public legal awareness and encouraging active community involvement at the local level.

This research program aimed to improve farmers’ understanding of the Jajar Legowo rice planting system and to analyze the factors influencing their perceptions. The program was conducted with the Sukatani Farmer Group in Tukdana Village, Indramayu Regency, using a mixed-method approach that combined observation, interviews, and questionnaires with 30 farmers. The results showed that farmers’ knowledge of the Jajar Legowo system was relatively low (54.17%), while their attitude was in the moderate category (58.92%). Correlation analysis revealed a strong relationship between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.672), which together shaped farmers’ perceptions of the system. Further analysis indicated that only land area had a significant influence on farmers’ perceptions, while age and education level showed no significant effect. Qualitative findings also revealed that farmers’ perceptions were influenced by direct farming experience, agricultural extension activities, institutional support, and social influence from leading farmers. Based on these findings, efforts to increase the adoption of the Jajar Legowo planting system require participatory extension strategies, hands-on demonstrations, and strengthened farmer group involvement.

The digital design of cultural museums with an interactive and educational approach in Indramayu Regency aims to present a modern, innovative, and interesting cultural preservation space. This concept was born from the urgent need for a means that are able to preserve, document, and promote local cultural wealth in the midst of the rapid flow of globalization. The lack of cultural literacy among the public, especially the younger generation, as well as the loss of historical objects due to inadequate storage facilities, are the main reasons for the importance of developing digital-based museums. Through an interactive approach, visitors can actively engage with cultural collections using advanced technologies such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and interactive multimedia. This technology provides an immersive, engaging, and personalized learning experience, so that visitors not only see, but also virtually experience the richness of the culture on display. Meanwhile, the educational approach is designed to create an informative, collaborative, and fun learning environment, which is highly relevant for learners and the younger generation as the successors of cultural preservation. Indramayu Regency, known for its long history, maritime traditions, and distinctive coastal culture, has great potential to become a center for cultural education. This digital museum will utilize digital technology to document cultural narratives in depth, so that it can be accessed not only by local people, but also national and international tourists. With its strategic location in the city center, the presence of this museum is expected to encourage the participation of the public and tourists in understanding, appreciating, and preserving the local culture of Indramayu. Apart from being an educational facility, this museum is expected to be able to become a driver of local tourism that makes a positive contribution to the economy of the surrounding community. Digital cultural museums are not only a place for preservation, but also a symbol of a strong regional identity, reflecting the synergy between technological innovation and commitment to cultural sustainability in the modern era.

The results indicated a significant improvement in participants’ understanding and abilities in funeral care. Prior to the training, only 13 participants had prior experience or training, while 27 had never been exposed to funeral care procedures. By the end of the session, all participants had gained practical experience and demonstrated improved knowledge. This initiative not only enhanced religious literacy but also fostered social awareness and solidarity within the community. It is recommended that similar training programs be conducted regularly to ensure community readiness in fulfilling this religious duty.

Regian Music is a music service provider company established in 2021 and has been operating in the regions of Cirebon, Indramayu, Majalengka, and Kuningan, contributing to various events including parties. The Regian Music band has the potential to emphasize professionalism, but it faces challenges with its visual logo element. The current logo of Regian Music does not yet represent the band's vision and mission. In the old logo, there is inconsistency in the use of elements, typography, and colors. There is also a "Canva" watermark in the center of the logo, which detracts from its professionalism in a visual context. Therefore, a logo redesign is necessary to better reflect the characteristics of the Regian Music band. The logo redesign process follows the Brand Identity design method (Alina Wheeler, 2013). The new logo is created with a music theme and minimalist design style, using a combination of red, black, and white colors, as well as incorporating Japanese element concepts.
