The rapid advancement of information technology has brought about new challenges for society, one of which is the widespread practice of online gambling. With unrestricted access across time and space, online gambling is easily accessible through mobile devices and the internet, making the public—especially those facing economic hardship, social influence, and easy access—highly vulnerable. Online gambling not only violates the law but also poses serious social and economic consequences, such as addiction, debt, family breakdowns, and a rise in criminal behavior. Through a Community Service (PkM) activity conducted by lecturers from the Faculty of Law, Sunan Bonang University, Tuban, in Panyuran Village, legal and social education regarding the dangers and sanctions of online gambling was provided. This activity used participatory and descriptive approaches through lectures and interactive discussions. The results showed an increase in participants’ understanding of the mechanisms, impacts, and legal consequences of online gambling, while also fostering awareness to avoid engaging in such illegal practices. Preventive efforts such as continuous education and family-based supervision are expected to serve as strategic measures to minimize the spread of online gambling within society.

Today, higher education is one of the pillars of development and economic growth for every country in the world. The absence of innovation in higher education is one of the primary problems that Iraqi universities confront and still unable to overcome. This situation could be attributed to the dearth of strategic innovation programs and a lack of creativity in lecturing. Therefore, this study proposes a framework that fits innovation practices and employee creativity into the organizational performance of Misan University in Iraq. Quantitative methods were used to test the hypotheses and validate the fitness of the conceptual framework with the empirical data. Simple random sampling technique was used in the survey procedure. The study sample includes 500 lecturers, whereas 422 valid questionnaires have been included in the data analysis. The results show that innovation practices and creativity have a significant effect on the organizational performance of Misan University. These findings provide evidence that achieving superior performance in higher education no longer depends on the deployment of tangible assets like financial resources or the number of academic staff and faculty, but also on intangible assets such as creative lecturing and adopting innovation practices in the learning process. Thus, this study recommends that higher education institutions in Iraq focus on recruiting creative lecturers who can improve students' learning ability by promoting new ways of learning scientific materials in parallel with an innovation strategy in all organizational functions and processes.

Dumplings are many people's favorite food made from  flour with filling inside. Research conducted on chicken dumplings used bones as dumpling filling. Bones were not very well known in the culinary, with this research it is hoped that it will increase the selling value of  bones as well as increase the variety of dumpling menus. This research aims to determine the level of panelists' preferences based on five quality attributes, for appearance, color, texture, flavour and taste. Apart from that, it is also to find out recipe standards, business analysis, and the shelf life of dumplings.

The Final Project is an official work that consists of a thesis or an artwork, which is the result of research or scientific creation by students, conducted through a series of steps and procedures in accordance with the Final Project (TA) guidelines set by each faculty. One strategy to encourage students to complete their studies as quickly as possible is to require students who are working on their Final Project (TA) to attend campus at least once a week to report on their progress while bringing their Final Project guidance card. Interviews are conducted with students to find a supervising lecturer, students hold proposal guidance, after which the proposal is validated, students then register for the proposal seminar, students conduct the proposal seminar, a decree (SK) is issued, students continue with Final Project guidance, the documentation of the Final Project is validated, students register for the results seminar and final defense, as well as students undergoing plagiarism checks. This is due to the lack of application platforms that can monitor students' completion of their final projects online. Therefore, research on an information system application to supervise students' final projects is very much needed.

This community service activity aims to enhance the understanding of residents in the Jagakarsa,  South Jakarta, regarding the meaning and importance of literacy, particularly in facing the challenges of the digital information era. The underlying problem addressed in this activity is the low level of literacy awareness among the community, as indicated by the tendency to accept and spread information without verification, the lack of a reading culture, and limited understanding of various types of literacy, such as media, digital, and financial literacy. To overcome these issues, the team of lecturers conducted a literacy outreach activity using a casual discussion method, which was chosen for its effectiveness in reaching the community in an informal and communicative setting. The materials presented included the definition of literacy, the importance of filtering information, how to verify the accuracy of news, and the role of families in fostering a culture of literacy. The activity involved residents from diverse backgrounds and was conducted interactively, where participants were not only passive listeners but also engaged in active discussions and shared personal experiences related to literacy challenges. The results showed that the residents responded positively to the outreach, gained new insights, and expressed a commitment to start applying a culture of literacy within their families and communities. This activity demonstrates that a simple yet well-targeted approach can have a tangible impact in raising literacy awareness at the grassroots level.

This study aims to see to what extent the use of the Ruangguru platform affects students' learning motivation in offline Indonesian language learning at the Indonesian Education University. Amid the rapid development of educational technology, it is important to understand the role of digital tools such as Ruangguru in the context of face-to-face learning. This study uses a quantitative approach by distributing questionnaires to 102 students who have used Ruangguru and are at least 15 years old. The results show that most aspects of platform use are classified as low, but elements such as attractiveness of appearance, presentation of materials, and quality of learning videos are quite appreciated by users. Students' learning motivation is in the fairly high category, especially in terms of enthusiasm for learning and self-confidence in understanding the material. The habit of using the platform routinely is still relatively low. These findings indicate that Ruangguru has the potential to support offline learning motivation, but its effectiveness will be more pronounced if accompanied by direct direction from lecturers and more structured learning strategies.
