Anemia in adolescents is a serious health issue that impacts students' concentration and productivity. This community service activity aims to conduct early detection of anemia through a comprehensive manual screening method at three high schools: SMA Sains Alumnika Palembang, SMA Candradimuka, and SMA Mandiri. The implementation method involved three main stages: identification of clinical signs and symptoms (5L), visual observation of the palpebral conjunctiva, and hemoglobin (Hb) level measurement using Point of Care Testing (POCT) devices. Held from April 1st to 8th, 2026, the activity involved the active participation of students and school authorities as an effort toward independent nutritional surveillance. The screening results showed a correlation between subjective symptoms, pale conjunctiva conditions, and Hb measurement results in the field. Changes in students' behavior regarding nutritional intake and the emergence of new awareness among school authorities about the importance of routine check-ups served as indicators of successful social transformation. In conclusion, integrated manual screening is highly effective as a preventive health measure for adolescents within educational environments.

This study examines the role of the Lubuk Intan Village Unit Cooperative (KUD) in assisting in managing oil palm sales for smallholder farmers in Peninjau Village, Batanghari Regency. The background of this study is based on the suboptimal distribution of economic benefits to farmers, despite increasing sales through the cooperative. This situation indicates the need to strengthen the role of cooperatives in the harvest marketing system. This study used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Thirteen informants were interviewed: three administrators and ten members of the Lubuk Intan KUD in Peninjau Village, Batanghari Regency. The results indicate that the Lubuk Intan KUD plays a role in facilitating collective sales, providing price information, and creating certainty and transparency in the weighing and recording of harvests. This role has been able to improve marketing efficiency and member trust. However, its implementation still faces obstacles such as limited human resources, limited operational capital, and inadequate member participation.

This study examines the effects of word of mouth, peer influence, and promotion on exercise decisions at gymnasiums in Bandar Lampung City, with hedonic motivation as a mediating variable. Drawing on the Theory of Planned Behavior and consumer behavior perspectives, the research employed a quantitative causal-associative design. Data were collected through structured questionnaires from 100 active members of four gymnasiums and analyzed using Partial Least Squares - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS . The results indicate that word of mouth, peer influence, and promotion have positive and significant effects on hedonic motivation and on exercise decisions. Hedonic motivation also exerts a positive and significant effect on exercise decisions, suggesting that pleasurable and emotionally rewarding fitness experiences reinforce consumers' intention to engage in regular gym- based exercise. Mediation analysis further reveals that hedonic motivation significantly channels the effects of peer influence and promotion on exercise decisions, while the indirect effect of word of mouth is also significant, although its negative coefficient warrants careful interpretation. These findings demonstrate that exercise decisions are shaped not only by utilitarian health considerations but also by social influence, promotional exposure, and affective consumption experiences. The study provides practical insights for gym managers in designing service and marketing strategies that strengthen customer engagement and sustained participation.

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of Palangka Raya City Regional Regulation Number 9 of 2024 concerning Tourism Villages at the Sei Batu tourist attraction in Sei Gohong Village, with a primary focus on facility maintenance and the development of the local community’s creative economy. In addition, this study seeks to understand the extent to which the policy is able to encourage community participation in managing tourism potential in a sustainable manner. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach through field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation, with informants purposively selected from management, local government, and community elements. The results indicate that the implementation of the policy has not been optimal, as reflected in weak communication among stakeholders, limited human and financial resources, low commitment among implementers, and ineffective institutional coordination. Furthermore, the lack of regular monitoring and evaluation has also slowed the achievement of policy objectives. This condition has led to neglected tourism facilities and the underdevelopment of local creative economy products as part of community empowerment efforts. These findings indicate a gap between the formulated policy and the reality of its implementation in the field. Therefore, comprehensive improvements are needed in aspects of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure, accompanied by enhanced collaboration among relevant stakeholders, so that the objectives of community-based tourism development can be achieved sustainably and provide tangible benefits to the local community

This study aims to determine the village financial management of Tinting Village, Sarolangun Subdistrict, in improving community welfare and to identify its supporting and inhibiting factors. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews and documentation. The informants in this study were the village secretary, village treasurer, and the Village Activity Implementation Team (TPKAD). Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the financial management of Tinting Village has been implemented through planning, implementation, administration, reporting, and accountability stages. However, it has not been fully optimal in improving community welfare, as it is still dominated by infrastructure development rather than community economic empowerment programs. The supporting factors include clear regulations, cooperation among village officials, and community participation. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors consist of limited human resources of village officials, low community understanding, and limited budget for empowerment programs

This study aims to analyze the implementation of cross-sector education based on community participation as an effort to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Watangsono Village, Wonogiri. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach by collecting data through participatory observation, documentation, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) involving key stakeholders in the village. The results show that the implementation of cross-sector educational programs covering education, health, economy, and environment has a significant impact on improving community knowledge, skills, and awareness. Community participation was reflected through active involvement in various practical activities, such as anti-bullying education, digital literacy training, stunting prevention through local food processing, herbal plant utilization, natural pesticide production, family health massage practices, and strengthening local economic capacity. The participatory and applicative approach encourages two-way knowledge transfer and strengthens community capacity in managing local resources sustainably. Despite challenges such as limited resources and time constraints, the program demonstrates positive contributions to supporting SDGs achievement at the village level. Therefore, cross-sector education based on community participation can serve as an effective strategy in empowering rural communities and fostering sustainable development.

The governance of natural resources (NR) in Indonesia remains marked by structural inequalities that favor large corporations, while indigenous and local communities are marginalized from access, management rights, and equitable benefit-sharing. Although the Constitution and several laws mandate social justice and ecological sustainability, NR governance practices tend to focus on exploitation and investment acceleration, sacrificing environmental protection and meaningful public participation. This study employs a normative juridical approach to analyze weaknesses in sectoral regulations, overlapping authorities, and their implications for the rights of local communities. Drawing on Satjipto Rahardjo’s progressive justice theory, it offers a reformulation of the concept of “controlled by the state” in Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution as a trustee mandate, rather than a monopoly, placing humans, the environment, and justice as the primary orientation. The proposed legal transformation strategies include revising NR regulations, implementing the Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) principle, strengthening community-based management models, recognizing the rights of nature, and establishing participatory oversight mechanisms. This approach is expected to dismantle unequal power relations and direct NR governance toward ecological sustainability, community empowerment, and intergenerational benefit equity.

This Community Service (PKM) activity aims to improve the religious understanding of students through reading the book at the Ar Rohman TPQ, Candinegoro Village, Wonoayu, Sidoarjo. The context of this activity is the limited skills of students in reading and understanding the contents of the book in depth, so that a more interactive and effective learning method is needed so that students are not only able to read, but also understand and practice religious values ​​in everyday life.

The results of the activity showed that the reading the book went well and received a positive response from students, marked by an increase in reading ability and understanding of the contents of the book, activeness, enthusiasm, and courage in practice and discussion. Furthermore, this activity contributes to character development, including discipline, responsibility, patience, and self-confidence. Therefore, it is effective in enhancing religious understanding while simultaneously shaping the character of students and deserves continued development.

The development of the digital era has significantly transformed government administration, particularly in technology-based public services. This transformation requires strengthening the principles of good governance, which include transparency, accountability, public participation, effectiveness, efficiency, and legal certainty. State Administrative Law plays a strategic role in ensuring that bureaucratic digitalization remains within the correct legal framework and does not deviate from good governance principles. This study employs a normative juridical approach with a literature review method to analyze the role of State Administrative Law in strengthening good governance in the digital era. The findings show that State Administrative Law functions as an instrument of legality, discretionary control, data protection, improved accountability, and enhanced public service efficiency. Thus, State Administrative Law is not only regulatory but also adaptive to technological developments in achieving good governance in the digital era.

Waste management has become a critical environmental issue at both global and national levels due to increasing population and changing consumption patterns. In Indonesia, waste generation exceeds 60 million tons annually, with a significant portion consisting of plastic waste that requires hundreds of years to decompose. One of the main challenges in addressing this issue is the low level of public awareness and understanding regarding waste types and their decomposition time. This community service program conducted by students of Universitas Negeri Padang aims to improve environmental awareness through environmental education and community empowerment using an innovative visual medium in the form of waste decomposition time educational boards. The activity was implemented in Pasar Hilir Hamlet, Lumindai Village, using a participatory approach involving observation, socialization, board design, production, and installation. The results indicate that the program successfully enhanced community knowledge regarding the differences between organic and inorganic waste and their environmental impacts. The educational boards, placed in strategic locations near waste disposal areas, function as effective visual tools that continuously deliver information and reinforce environmentally responsible behavior. In addition, this program contributes to improving environmental cleanliness, strengthening community participation, and increasing environmental literacy. Therefore, the innovation of waste decomposition time educational boards serves not only as an informative medium but also as a sustainable educational tool to promote long-term behavioral change toward environmental awareness.

The Amaliyah Ramadhan Program is a religious activity carried out to instill spiritual values ​​while increasing the social awareness of students. This activity serves as a means of character development through various worship and social activities during the month of Ramadan. The implementation of a targeted program is expected to be able to form an attitude of empathy, togetherness, and concern for the surrounding community. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Amaliyah Ramadhan Program in increasing the social awareness of students at Pondok Trensami Kwangsan Sedati, Sidoarjo.

The results of the activity indicate that the Amaliyah Ramadhan Program is able to increase the social awareness of students as demonstrated through active participation in sharing activities, attitudes of mutual assistance, and increased awareness to care for the surrounding community. This program also strengthens the values ​​of togetherness and social responsibility within the Islamic boarding school environment.

The development of globalization, digital technology, and social change has influenced the way young people understand and live out their faith. Secularism tends to place religion in the private sphere, so that religious values do not always become the basis for decision-making in daily life. This study aims to analyze the challenges of secularism to the formation of the identity of Catholic youth in the modern era and to formulate relevant religious education responses in addressing these dynamics. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method that examines various scientific literature, Church documents, and research findings related to the phenomenon of secularism and the formation of the religious identity of Catholic youth. The results of the study indicate that secularism has a complex impact on the faith life of young people, including decreased participation in Church activities, the emergence of individualistic attitudes, and the tendency to view religion merely as a formal identity. However, on the other hand, the modern era also opens opportunities for young people to develop their faith creatively through the use of digital technology and involvement in faith communities. Therefore, Catholic religious education and pastoral accompaniment that are dialogical, contextual, and participatory are very important in helping Catholic youth integrate their faith into daily life. This study is expected to provide theoretical and practical contributions for educators and pastoral ministers in fostering the faith identity of Catholic youth in modern society.

This study focused on addressing the problem of low self-confidence among seventh-grade students at SMP In Tana Toraja. The issue was identified through several behaviors, such as difficulty in voicing opinions, lack of courage to stand in front of the class, and minimal participation during the learning process. To address the identified issue, the study was designed to enhance students’ self-confidence through group guidance activities incorporating the sociodrama technique. This investigation adopted a Guidance and Counseling Action Research approach implemented across two consecutive cycles, each involving planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The participants consisted of 30 students, while data were collected through questionnaires and observation instruments. The results indicated that students’ self-confidence developed progressively over time. In the initial condition, most students were still classified in the low-confidence category, but improvement began to appear in cycle one and became more significant in cycle two. These changes were reflected in students’ increased confidence in performing, better communication skills, and stronger active participation in group activities. The sociodrama technique provides direct social interaction experiences that help students develop their self-confidence. Based on the results, the use of group counseling activities incorporating sociodrama emerges as a viable strategy for school counselors to support the development of students’ self-confidence.

This study uses a quantitative method with an explanatory approach to explore factors contributing to low pension literacy among workers. The sample consisted of 66 workers from both the formal and informal sectors in Jakarta in December 2025. The findings reveal that low pension literacy is not solely due to a lack of knowledge but results from various factors, including low awareness, short-term financial behavior, product complexity, inadequate education, and underutilization of digital tools. There is a mismatch between workers' perceptions and the reality of pension fund behavior. The majority of workers (86%) are unprepared for retirement, and 89% do not have a voluntary pension fund. Despite this, 80% do not rely on workplace pension funds, and 45.5% feel confident they can meet their living expenses in old age, indicating pseudo-awareness they understand the importance of pension funds but have not established one. This reveals a gap between awareness and action regarding pension funds. Improving pension literacy requires an integrated approach that combines transformative education with digitalization to facilitate access and participation. Education must drive behavioral change, while digitalization simplifies processes, enhances accessibility, and broadens financial literacy. The synergy of education, digital technology, and policy support is essential for improving workers' financial readiness for a secure retirement.

The research employed a qualitative descriptive method, using observation, interviews, and documentation as data-collection techniques. The findings indicate that community participation plays a significant role in the success of the program, particularly in selecting planting locations, providing tools and support, and maintaining the planted trees. The greening activities have produced positive impacts, including increased vegetation cover, a cooler village environment, and stronger community awareness of the importance of green spaces. Moreover, collaboration between students and local residents has enhanced social cohesion and supported the sustainability of environmental initiatives. This study concludes that a participatory approach combined with a qualitative descriptive method is effective in understanding the dynamics of implementing greening programs at the village level.

The presence of BUMDes is an important factor in improving the economy and community independence, such as through the village savings and loan program. However, the lack of socialization and inaccurate targeting of program recipients are problems that have implications for BUMDes capital turnover. This study aims to explain the optimization of the savings and loan program in BUMDes in realizing the economic independence of the community of Kalimanah Kulon Village, Kalimanah District, Purbalingga Regency. This study uses a qualitative case-study approach. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The results show that the BUMDes savings and loan program is able to increase village income and community welfare, although it is still not optimal. In its implementation, there are several obstacles that have the potential to hinder the implementation of this program, including the issue of inadequate human resources, minimal business planning and innovation, and low community participation in loan repayment and BUMDes business management. Therefore, adequate planning by the village government to increase the capacity of managers and community participation, as well as strengthening institutions and collaboration with relevant stakeholders in BUMDes business management are important prerequisites for optimal program achievement. In addition, intensive and ongoing outreach to all levels of society regarding BUMDes programs is needed to ensure BUMDes can more optimally fulfill their role in improving village welfare and independence.
