This community service activity aims to increase the business capacity of the wood ear mushroom food MSME through integrated mentoring on business legality and access to financing. The subject of the activity was the Brother Farm MSME in Kediri Regency, which initially ran its business informally without adequate legality and had limited access to formal financing. The method used was a participatory approach with activity stages including: initial observation and problem identification, mentoring in creating a Business Identification Number (NIB), mentoring in understanding halal certification, mentoring in processing Fresh Food of Plant Origin (PSAT) permits, and education on access to financing through the People's Business Credit (KUR) scheme. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews and documentation, while data analysis used a qualitative descriptive approach by comparing conditions before and after mentoring. The results of the activity showed that the MSME successfully obtained business legality in the form of a Business Identification Number and Fresh Food of Plant Origin permits and experienced an increase in understanding regarding halal product guarantees and access to formal financing. This integrated mentoring had a positive impact on increasing consumer confidence, expanding market opportunities, and business readiness in accessing capital. Thus, this activity is able to encourage business transformation towards a more formal, structured and sustainable condition (SDG 8 and SDG 12) thereby contributing to increasing the competitiveness of food MSMEs.

Assistance in obtaining a Business License Number (NIB) and halal certification at Rewwin Housing was carried out as a strategic effort to promote legality and increase the competitiveness of MSMEs. In general, many business actors still do not have legal status due to limited knowledge regarding administrative procedures and digital licensing systems. In fact, business legality is a crucial aspect that can increase consumer trust, expand market access, and strengthen a business's position amidst competition. Sobar et al. (2023), "improving product quality and becoming a service are key factors in increasing the competitiveness of MSMEs," which is supported, among other things, by having a business legality. The mentoring activity was carried out on February 7–8, 2026, using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, which emphasized active participation between the mentor and business actors in identifying obstacles and completing the mentoring process together. Through this process, MSME partners gained practical understanding regarding NIB registration through the OSS system and halal certification applications. The results of the activity showed an increased awareness that business legality is not only an administrative responsibility, but also a strategic increase in business credibility and professionalism. Ridwan et al. (2024) legal assistance can increase the understanding and readiness of MSME actors in developing their businesses sustainably.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in the economy and community independence. However, the great potential of home-based businesses is often hindered by administrative issues related to business legality. This research focuses on UMKM Krecek Kulit Sapi Ashif in Jatirejo Village, which has been operating since 2018 but lacks a Business Identification Number (NIB), Household Industry Food (PIRT) permit, and halal certification due to perceived complex procedures. The main objective of this activity is to strengthen business management through product standardization and obtaining legal certifications to enhance the competitiveness of this MSME. The research method used a descriptive qualitative approach with a community service method based on mentoring, including observation, in-depth interviews, and hands-on practice in managing documents through the Online Single Submission system. The results show that through phased mentoring, UMKM Krecek Kulit Sapi Ashif successfully obtained an NIB and increased the owner’s awareness of PIRT food safety standards and halal certification procedures. The impact of this activity includes meeting administrative legality and improving knowledge, confidence, and professionalism in business management. Intensive mentoring proved crucial in transforming informal businesses into formal, legally protected entities.

Low financial literacy, weak sharia-based governance, and limited business legality remain key barriers to the sustainability of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). These constraints reduce managerial capability, restrict access to formal financing, and hinder business growth. This study developed an integrated mentoring model combining financial literacy, sharia governance, and business legalization using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. 25 MSMEs in Brebes Regency participated in four stages: needs assessment, training, mentoring, and evaluation. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, bookkeeping observations, and legality checklists. Results showed significant improvements: financial literacy scores increased from 52 to 84 (61.5%), bookkeeping adoption rose from 20% to 88%, and Business Identification Number (NIB) ownership increased from 32% to 84%. Average monthly turnover also grew by 33%. These findings indicate that participatory and practice-based mentoring effectively enhances knowledge, behavior, and economic performance. The model offers a scalable strategy for strengthening sustainable and ethical MSME management.

The ability to read the Qur’an is a fundamental competence in Islamic education. However, many children still face difficulties in reading the Qur’an accurately and fluently in accordance with tajwid rules. This community service program (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat/PKM) aimed to improve Qur’anic reading skills of students at Asy-Syakirin Qur’anic Learning Center (TPQ) in Nibung Village, Kapuas Hulu Regency, West Kalimantan. The program employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, actively involving teachers and students in all stages of the activities. The implementation consisted of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. During the planning phase, students’ initial reading abilities were identified and grouped into basic (iqra’) and advanced (tahsin) levels, appropriate learning methods were selected, and supporting learning media were prepared. The action phase involved individual and small-group mentoring, guided Qur’an reading with direct correction of pronunciation (makharij al-huruf) and tajwid, application of memorization and dictation (imla’) techniques, and varied teaching approaches through instructor rotation. Evaluation was conducted through pre-tests and post-tests, direct observation of students’ reading performance, and assessment of participation and attendance. The results indicate a significant improvement in students’ Qur’anic reading skills, particularly in fluency, accuracy of pronunciation, and basic understanding of tajwid. This program is expected to serve as a sustainable model for improving Qur’anic literacy in Qur’anic learning institutions.

Community service with the theme of Socialization and Education of Legal Products for MSME and Creative Economy Actors in Temberan Village, Pangkalpinang City, is based on field conditions, where many MSME actors in the region do not have legal legality for the businesses they run and lack basic knowledge regarding product packaging and brand creation that have high marketability. As a result, their businesses are not developing to strengthen the creative economy and enhance the capacity of actors. The model used in this program is a direct dialogue method with the MSME actors. The discussion results showed that of the 26 participants, only 1 MSME actor had received guidance and had an NIB (Business Identification Number), but lacked a halal certificate and patent rights for their product brands. The other 25 participants were briefed for the first time regarding the importance of legal legitimacy for their business. Therefore, it can be concluded that these 25 MSME actors do not have legal legitimacy for their businesses. The team provided assistance to help register their businesses by collaborating with relevant agencies. Regarding product branding, it was found that all participants had not optimized their product branding, as most MSME actors in Temberan Village packaged their products simply without attractive branding, packaging, colors, or packaging materials. Many even used plastic wrapping without a brand. The team intervened intensively by providing further assistance to MSME actors in Temberan Village, utilizing information and communication technology to help determine product brands for those without one and to select packaging materials that follow current trends, shapes, colors, and materials to make the product more attractive and increase branding and consumer interest.

Nutritional status is a health condition that indicates whether or not nutrients are sufficient in the body. This is influenced by eating habits and the body's ability to absorb nutrients. Nutritional status assessment can be done by body measurements, diet analysis, or laboratory tests. This indicator shows the extent to which nutritional needs are met to support body function and growth. This study aims to determine the nutritional status of toddlers in Keude Nibong Village and the factors that influence it. The research design used a quantitative approach with a correlation method, involving 35 toddlers as samples. The results showed that most toddlers were male (52%) and most were aged 24-35 months and 48-59 months (23.7% each). A total of 29 toddlers (83%) had good nutritional status, while 6 toddlers (17%) were malnourished. The nutritional condition of toddlers was generally good, but regular monitoring by health workers and the village government through integrated health posts (posyandu) is needed. Further research is recommended to examine factors such as diet, economy, and parental education that influence children's nutritional status.

Elderly exercise is a sporting activity that can help improve heart health, maintain stable blood pressure and blood sugar levels, and prevent various degenerative diseases in the elderly. Abnormal blood sugar levels can cause metabolic disorders that lead to various serious health problems. This study aims to determine the impact of elderly exercise on improving the health and independence of older adults in carrying out daily activities. This study used an evaluative method with a cross-sectional approach at the Nibong Community Health Center, North Aceh, involving 38 elderly people (14 men and 24 women) as a sample. The results showed that after participating in regular exercise, the number of elderly people with high blood sugar levels decreased to 31.6%, while the number of elderly people with normal blood sugar levels increased to 86.6%. Statistical tests showed a significant difference between blood sugar levels before and after exercise (p < 0.05). From these results, it can be concluded that elderly exercise is effective in lowering blood sugar levels, increasing insulin sensitivity, improving fitness and balance, and motivating elderly people to maintain their health. It is recommended that the Nibong Community Health Center regularly hold structured elderly exercise programs and provide educational counseling on the importance of a healthy lifestyle and controlling sugar intake. The results of this study can serve as a reference for health institutions and further research

Anemia is a micronutrient deficiency problem that is common in various parts of the world. Indonesia is one of the countries with a high anemia rate. According to the 2024 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas), the anemia rate in adolescent girls reached 32%. Breakfast habits and consumption of iron supplements affect daily nutritional intake. Low hemoglobin levels occur due to infrequent iron supplement consumption and inadequate food intake, resulting in a lack of iron stores in the body. The purpose of this study was to encourage adolescent girls to continue maintaining good habits of consuming iron supplements and having a healthy breakfast. This study used a quantitative analytical observational method with a cross-sectional design. The target population was female students of SMPN 1 Nibong. The study was conducted at SMPN 1 Nibong. The sample was obtained using a cluster random sampling technique of 50 respondents. The results of the chi-square test showed a strong association between breakfast habits and the risk of anemia, with a p-value of 0.000, which is far below 0.05, so technically significant. In essence, breakfast habits and blood supplement consumption have been shown to influence the risk of anemia in adolescent girls at SMPN 1 Nibong. The school is expected to promote understanding of nutrition and the importance of breakfast and blood supplement consumption, as well as motivate students to eat breakfast and consume blood supplement tablets regularly.

Business legality is an urgent need for MSMEs, particularly in the food sector, which faces strict regulations and high risks to food safety. However, many MSMEs still lack a Business Identification Number (NIB) or Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protection due to low digital literacy and a lack of understanding of licensing procedures. This situation emphasizes the urgency of mentoring so that MSMEs can operate legally and be legally protected. This Community Service Program (PKM) aims to assist the Golden Kriuq MSME in obtaining an NIB and increase business owners' understanding of the importance of IPR, branding, and digital marketing. The implementation method uses a qualitative approach through observation, interviews, education, documentation, and direct mentoring. Activities carried out include NIB registration through the OSS Indonesia application, logo, banner, and menu design, business Instagram account creation, location determination on Google Maps, and education on the stages of brand registration through the DJKI system. The results show that Golden Kriuq successfully obtained an NIB, has a more consistent visual identity, and has a more professional digital presence. The program's impact is evident in increased awareness of legality, digital administration readiness, and businesses' ability to compete more professionally and sustainably.

Advances in information technology increasingly require communities to adapt to digital communication tools, particularly email, which functions as a key digital identity for account registration, information exchange, and online transactions. Despite its importance, digital literacy remains limited among the general public, especially rural housewives, many of whom lack awareness of the need for email accounts, have limited operational skills, and are vulnerable to cyber risks such as phishing and data theft. To address this issue, a workshop entitled “Fundamentals of Using Gmail and Account Security” was conducted for the PKK women’s group in Jompo Kulon Village to improve basic digital skills and promote safe online practices. The program aimed to introduce the functions and benefits of email, assist participants in independently creating Gmail accounts, provide knowledge on securing accounts through two-factor authentication, and train participants to send and receive emails. The workshop was delivered through an interactive face-to-face approach combining short presentations and hands-on practice using participants’ mobile devices. Initial sessions explained email as a digital identity, followed by guided account creation and security setup. The final session focused on practicing email communication to reinforce understanding. The results showed high participant engagement, with most participants successfully creating Gmail accounts, understanding essential digital security concepts, and demonstrating basic email usage skills. Overall, the activity increased awareness of personal data protection and is expected to serve as an initial step in strengthening digital literacy among women, enabling them to better adapt to ongoing technological developments.

Business legality is a very important component in the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Business legality provides MSME players with legal protection, easier access to financing, and greater opportunities for growth. The Business Identification Number (NIB) is the official identity of business actors used to obtain business licenses and commercial or operational permits through an integrated electronic licensing system, namely Online Single Submission (OSS). The objective of this community service program is to increase the understanding and awareness of MSME actors in Kelayu Selatan Village, Selong District, East Lombok Regency, regarding business legality, particularly the creation of an NIB. To support more efficient assistance tailored to the needs of each business operator, this activity was conducted door-to-door and included several stages, such as observation and data collection on MSMEs, dissemination of information on the importance of business legality, assistance in creating OSS accounts, and assistance in the application process until the issuance of the NIB. The results of the activity showed an increase in awareness and knowledge about the importance of business legality. It is hoped that this program will encourage MSMEs to transform into formal businesses that are competitive and sustainable.

This study aims to analyze and explain in greater detail the influence of service quality in managing the Business Identification Number (NIB) through the Online Single Submission (OSS) system on public satisfaction at the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Office (DPMPTSP) of Gresik Regency.

This research examines the phenomenon of Gado-Gado Boplo as a legendary eating place recognized by Kompas, Flokq, and Nibble articles. The research uses quantitative methods using questionnaires via Google Form and secondary data from the internet, journals and interviews. The sample used was 100 people who had eaten at Gado-Gado Boplo using a Likert scale. All questions were declared valid, with a calculated R value > R table, after which the data was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha for reliability and Pearson Correlation for validity. Apart from that, the Cronbach alpha data value > 0.6 shows its reliability. The data was then subjected to multiple regression analysis, classical assumption testing, and hypothesis testing (T and F tests). The Excellence variable (X3) has a partially significant influence on the Purchasing Decision variable (Y), but the Strength (X1) and Uniqueness variables (X2) do not have a partial influence on the Purchasing Decision variable (Y), according to the T test. Furthermore, jji F shows that variables X1, X2, and X3 all influence Y significantly at the same time. In conclusion, superiority has a favorable and large influence on purchasing choices, but strength and uniqueness only have a small influence. These three X factors all have a significant influence on purchasing choices (Y) at the same time.

The study concludes that the use of IT is not merely a supporting tool, but a key factor in creating competitive advantage. The implications of this research offer insights for e-commerce industry players and policymakers to continuously promote digital innovation in pursuit of efficiency and business sustainability.

This research analyzes the business licensing process for plywood products at PT Anugerah Albasia Abadi Talun, Blitar Regency. It aims to identify the processes undertaken, the obstacles encountered, and to provide recommendations. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach and the Triple Bottom Line framework, data was collected through interviews, observation, and documentation studies. The research findings indicate that the company has successfully fulfilled all complex formal licensing requirements, including the Business Identification Number (NIB), Industrial Business License (IUI), Timber Legality Verification Sistem(SVLK) certificate, Environmental Management and Monitoring Efforts (UKL-UPL), and Forest Product Transportation and Trading License (IPHH), demonstrating a commitment to regulatory compliance. Nevertheless, the licensing process is still hampered by the disharmony between the digital Online Single Submission (OSS) system and manual practices, dynamic regulatory changes that are not yet widely disseminated, limited internal human resource capacity, and a lack of harmonization and coordination among government agencies. The Triple Bottom Line analysis reveals that licensing legality supports economic competitiveness and market access, while social aspects are well-established through local job creation and CSR programs. However, environmental management remains administrative and not yet fully performance-based. Therefore, the research recommendations focus on strengthening internal capacity, optimizing the OSS system, developing proactive environmental management, and enhancing continuous community involvement to achieve higher operational efficiency and sustainability
