The community service employed a needs assessment, participatory training sessions, and evaluation using pre-test and post-test analyzed through N-Gain scores. The results show an N-Gain value of 0.79, categorized as high, with an effectiveness level of 78.89%. These findings indicate that basic sign language training is effective in improving participants’ understanding in supporting more inclusive multicultural educational practices. This activity highlights the importance of collaboration between higher educations, civil society organizations and disability communities in advancing the No One Left Behind principle within inclusive education initiatives.

Presidential Instruction Number 1 of 2025 concerning State Expenditure Efficiency gave rise to a fiscal paradox at the beginning of the new administration, with a cut of Rp306.69 trillion facing a 17.9% APBN deficit for flagship programs such as Free Nutritious Meals, which triggered doubts about public trust, especially students at the University of Jambi affected by the BOPTN adjustment. This study analyzes the influence of student perceptions on the dimensions of effective-efficient (X1) and transparent-accountable (X2) policies on public trust (Y) as an indicator of government legitimacy. A quantitative survey approach was applied to 400 active students at the University of Jambi (proportional random sampling using the Slovin e=0.05 formula), with SPSS multiple linear regression analysis after classical assumption testing, validity (r> r-table), and reliability (Alpha Cronbach's 0.920 (x1); 0.949 (x2); 0.918 (y)). The results show a significant simultaneous effect (F=200.951; sig=0.000), partial X1 is dominant (t=7.116; β=0.162; sig=0.000) and X2 is significant (t=5.532; β=0.110; sig=0.000), with R²=0.503 explaining 50.3% of the variation in trust. The findings confirm the theory of Easton (1965) and Weber (1947) that efficiency performance evaluation shapes trust, so it is recommended that a real-time APBN dashboard, transparent communication to regional PTNs, and fiscal literacy strengthen the legitimacy of good governance.

The implementation of e-government is one of the local government's strategies in improving the quality of public services and realizing Good Governance.

The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the Tangerang LIVE Application contributes positively to increasing public information disclosure, expanding public participation, accelerating government responses to public complaints, increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of public services, and strengthening the accountability of local government performance. However, there are several obstacles to achieving Good Governance through the Tangerang Live application and these obstacles become an evaluation of the Tangerang City government to innovate through e-government that supports the improvement of Good Governance in the Tangerang City Government. This study recommends strengthening digital literacy, improving institutional coordination, and sustainable system development to ensure optimal and inclusive e-government implementation.

This community service activity aims to increase awareness and independence of elementary school students in maintaining hand hygiene through education on proper handwashing. The background to this activity stems from the low level of handwashing habits among school-age children, despite hand hygiene being a simple action that has a significant impact on preventing infectious diseases. Based on initial observations at Tamanbali 3 Public Elementary School, most students did not yet have the habit of washing their hands before eating or after playing, despite the availability of facilities. Therefore, a hand hygiene education program was implemented, designed to help students understand the importance of proper handwashing according to WHO guidelines. The activity methods included outreach through educational posters and videos, demonstrations of the seven steps of handwashing, mentoring in daily habits, and evaluation of behavioral changes. The results of the activity showed a significant improvement in students' hand hygiene behavior. Students began washing their hands independently before eating and after activities without being reminded by teachers. The school environment also became cleaner and healthier due to the growing awareness of personal hygiene among students. Teachers and the school are committed to continuing this habit as part of the daily classroom routine. This activity demonstrates that hand hygiene education delivered through interactive methods can shape character and hygiene habits from an early age.

MA Sakti Ngebel, a secondary education institution in Ngebel District, Ponorogo Regency, has excellent potential to develop more context-based chemistry learning. MA Sakti students have previously struggled to understand fundamental chemistry concepts, particularly in relating them to everyday phenomena. Students tend to memorize formulas without understanding the meanings and applications of the concepts. Therefore, an effort is needed to implement simple, applicable, and school-specific learning innovations. One relevant approach is the implementation of Fun Chemistry Learning based chemistry practicums. The purpose of this community service (PKM) activity is to strengthen the understanding of chemistry concepts at MA Sakti Ngebel Ponorogo through FCL-based chemistry practicums. The stages of this PKM activity are program socialization, training, implementation of FCL learning innovations, mentoring, evaluation, and program sustainability. The N-gain analysis of the pretest and posttest results indicates that the increase in students’ knowledge of chemistry concepts falls in the moderate range. The results of the overall satisfaction questionnaire showed that the lowest level of satisfaction was in the aspect of time management and events during the PKM activities (45% of students considered it very satisfactory), while the highest level of satisfaction was in the aspect of motivation to learn chemistry after the PKM activities and the effectiveness of the FCL training carried out (both of which 70% of students considered it very satisfactory).

Budget efficiency is an important issue in state financial management because it is directly related to government spending priorities and their impact on public service programs. Discussions about budget efficiency policies are widespread on social media platform X, generating diverse public responses, thus necessitating an automated approach to understand public opinion trends more quickly and objectively. This research aims to analyze the sentiment of Indonesian people toward budget efficiency policies and compare the performance of the Naïve Bayes and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms in classifying sentiment. The research data used 10,909 Indonesian-language tweets sourced from a public dataset, which were then processed thru the preprocessing stages including cleaning, case folding, normalization, tokenization, stopword removal, and stemming. Sentiment labeling is performed automatically using the Indonesian Sentiment Lexicon (InSet) approach to categorize data into positive, negative, and neutral sentiments. Feature extraction was performed using Term Frequency–Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF), and then the data was divided into training and testing sets with an 80:20 ratio. Model performance evaluation was conducted using a confusion matrix and the metrics of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The research results show that sentiment distribution is dominated by negative sentiment at 56.78%, followed by positive sentiment at 37.40%, and neutral sentiment at 5.83%. In the classification stage, SVM performed best with an accuracy of 86%, while Naïve Bayes achieved an accuracy of 74%. These findings indicate that SVM is more optimal for sentiment classification on social media text data and can be utilized to more effectively support the analysis of public response to budget efficiency policies.

The cigarette industry in Dawe District, Kudus, has been the backbone of the local economy for decades. However, this heavy dependence on a single industrial sector creates economic vulnerability, especially when production fluctuations or policy changes affect the tobacco industry. An economic empowerment program through agricultural entrepreneurship skills is highly relevant in this context. Modern agriculture using wick hydroponic technology and mini Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) offers an appropriate solution because it has characteristics that are suited to the geographic and socioeconomic conditions of the Dawe community. This PKM program has proven that economic empowerment through technology and skills transfer can be an effective strategy for increasing community income. Based on the results achieved, it is recommended to replicate similar programs in other areas with similar characteristics. Furthermore, ongoing monitoring and evaluation are necessary to ensure the sustainability of the businesses pioneered by participants. Collaboration with relevant agencies and microfinance institutions can strengthen participants' access to capital for broader business development.

Spirituality is a fundamental foundation of congregational faith life that directly influences character formation and daily behavior. However, social, cultural, and technological changes in the modern era have contributed to the weakening of congregational spirituality, including within the GKSI Sungai Maram congregation in Ketapang Regency, West Kalimantan. This condition is reflected in faith practices that tend to be routine and have not yet fostered holistic Christlike character. This community service program aimed to revitalize congregational spirituality as an effort to strengthen character formation and faith through a contextual and participatory approach. The program was implemented through pastoral mentoring, reflective group discussions, prayer fellowships, and community-based faith development activities involving church leaders and congregants. The implementation methods included initial observation of congregational conditions, interviews with church leaders and members, and community reflection as an evaluation tool. The results of the program indicate increased spiritual awareness among congregants, reflected in the strengthening of Christian character values such as love, integrity, responsibility, and social concern, as well as improved relational quality within the congregation. In addition, the program encouraged the establishment of sustainable shared spiritual practices as an integral part of church life. Therefore, contextual and sustainable spiritual revitalization through community service activities serves as an effective strategy for building a congregation that is mature in faith, strong in character, and socially impactful.

The Mastery Learning Strategy is a learning approach oriented towards achieving comprehensive student competencies before they move on to the next material or learning stage. This approach is based on the assumption that every student has the potential to succeed, provided they are given the appropriate time, methods, and guidance. In its application, Mastery Learning emphasizes systematic learning planning, the establishment of clear learning objectives, and ongoing evaluation to measure the level of student mastery. Students who have not yet achieved competency standards will receive corrective feedback and remedial activities, while students who have completed them will be provided with enrichment programs to deepen their understanding. With this mechanism, learning gaps can be minimized so as not to hinder the learning process in the next stage. Furthermore, this strategy encourages individualized, structured, and measurable learning according to student needs. Therefore, the implementation of Mastery Learning is considered effective in improving the quality of the learning process, strengthening conceptual understanding, and contributing to optimal and sustainable learning outcomes.

The development of digital technology has encouraged the government to utilize social media as an effective means of public communication. The Ministry of Agriculture is one institution that actively uses Instagram to convey information, build a positive image, and interact with the public. This study aims to determine the Public Relations strategy in managing the Instagram social media account @kementerianpertanian. This study uses the Public Relations strategy theory from Cutlip and Center, which consists of four stages: problem identification, planning and programming, communication and action, and evaluation. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews and documentation of the Ministry of Agriculture's Public Relations team. The results show that the Ministry of Agriculture's Public Relations has implemented a planned communication strategy, starting from planning informative and educational content, utilizing Instagram features such as reels, stories, and live to increase interaction, to routine evaluation based on engagement data (likes, shares, comments, and saves). This strategy also adapts to social media trends and audience needs. Public Relations actively responds to user questions and comments to maintain two-way communication. However, challenges such as negative comments, limited resources, and changes in the Instagram algorithm are obstacles that still need to be overcome. Overall, the implemented strategy has successfully supported the improvement of the image and transparency of public information within the Ministry of Agriculture.
