This study aims to analyze the relationship between the educational level of tuberculosis (TB) patients and the incidence of Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in Surakarta City. The study utilized an observational analytic design with a case-control approach, involving 304 subjects, consisting of 76 MDR-TB patients and 228 non-MDR TB patients. Data were collected through surveys, and the analysis was conducted using the chi-square test. The results showed that a low educational level was significantly associated with an increased risk of MDR-TB (OR=3.26; 95% CI=1.88-5.66; p<0.001). Patients with a lower educational level were 3.26 times more likely to develop MDR-TB compared to those with higher education. This study concludes that educational level plays a crucial role in the incidence of MDR-TB and emphasizes the need for improved health education programs to enhance treatment adherence and prevent drug resistance among TB patients.    

This study aims to investigate the effect of adjustment on student motivation at Sebelas Maret University. Quantitative research method with causality design was used to collect data from 40 students using accidental sampling method. Research instruments include self-adjustment scales and learning motivation scales that have been tested for validity and reliability. The results of a simple linear regression analysis showed that self-adjustment had a significant effect on student learning motivation (p-value = 0.000). The regression coefficient (Beta) indicates the magnitude of the change in learning motivation if self-adjustment increases by 1 point, while the coefficient of determination (R square) indicates that self-adjustment has an effect of 43.5% on learning motivation, with 56.5% influenced by other variables. The suggestion for future research is to consider the addition of other variables that influence learning motivation and extend this research to different educational contexts. These findings make an important contribution to the understanding of the factors that influence student motivation.

Introduction and use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology is increasingly widespread in various aspects of human life. In the context of community service, AI has great potential to improve the quality of life of people through a variety of innovative applications. This article discusses how AI can be used in community service, including practical applications in the field of education. Student Data Management: Al Ihsan Foundation can use AI to manage orphan student data such as personal data, academic data, and health data. AI-supported data management systems can integrate this information better, thus enabling more personalized and customized services. Learning and Development: AI can be used to develop online learning platforms that are tailored to individual student learning needs. AI systems analyze student learning preferences and progress and recommend the most effective learning materials and methods. By leveraging AI, younger generations can create exciting, high-quality content without having to have specialized expertise in graphic design or video editing. For example, technologies such as Canva Magic Studio leverage artificial intelligence to make it easier to make exciting designs.The training aims to provide a better understanding to the younger generation of the basic concepts of AI and its applications in everyday life, including in the creation of creative digital content. Hopefully, with a better understanding of AI, the younger generation will be able to develop their creative potential and use it for a variety of positive purposes in their lives.
