This community service activity stems from a core challenge faced by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Semarang City: the difficulty in consistently producing high-quality promotional visual content, primarily due to budget constraints and the lack of professional design skills. This condition severely hampers their competitiveness in the digital marketplace. The main goal of this activity was to enhance the technical capability of MSME participants in using Gemini AI as a multimodal model to generate professional, ready-to-use visual assets, thereby achieving significant cost and time production efficiency. The solution offered was a hands-on training focusing on Prompt Engineering defined as the art of formulating detailed commands to control the AI's output. The activity was conducted through an intensive workshop and case study mentorship for 25 MSME actors. The evaluation results demonstrated a highly significant increase in competence. The participants' average cognitive score drastically rose from 48.5% on the pre-test to 87.9% on the post-test, proving the successful mastery of Prompt Engineering. Applied results showed that participants were able to produce product visual assets with an average quality of 87.5%. Participant satisfaction reached 95.0%, especially concerning the indicators of cost and time efficiency. This activity successfully democratized design, empowering MSMEs to be self-sufficient in content production, and tangibly strengthening their brand identity and competitiveness across digital platforms.

This study aims to analyze the influence of financial literacy, self-control, parental influence, peer influence, and income on students’ saving behavior in the Economic Education Study Program at Universitas PGRI Ronggolawe Tuban for the 2021–2024 cohort. A quantitative approach with an associative research design was applied. The population consisted of 173 students, and the sample was determined using Slovin’s formula with a total of 64 respondents. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS, including classical assumption tests. The results reveal that financial literacy, parental influence, and income have a significant positive effect on saving behavior, while self-control and peer influence have a significant negative effect. The coefficient of determination (R²) is 0.724, indicating that 72.4% of the variation in students’ saving behavior can be explained by the independent variables, while the remaining 27.6% is influenced by other factors outside the model. These findings highlight that students’ saving behavior is shaped by the interplay of cognitive, psychological, social, and economic factors.

This study was motivated by the low ability of seventh grade students at SMP Dharma Karya UT to present descriptive texts orally, which is indicated by their lack of fluency, unclear pronunciation and intonation, and low self-confidence. This condition is aggravated by monotonous learning models that make students feel bored. One alternative to overcome this problem is the application of the Teaching at The Right Level (TaRL) learning model. This model focuses on the students’ actual ability levels so that the content and learning activities can be adjusted to their readiness to learn. This research used a quantitative method with a Randomized Demonstration Group Posttest Only Design and involved two groups: an experimental class and a control class. The sample consisted of 53 seventh grade students of SMP Dharma Karya UT. The research instrument was a test of oral descriptive text presentation skills. The results show a significant effect of applying the TaRL model on students’ ability to present descriptive texts orally. The experimental class receiving TaRL obtained an average posttest score of 47.8 out of 80, while the control class only scored 34.29 out of 80. The t-test showed tcount (2.45) > ttable (1.66) at a 5% significance level, so H0 was rejected and H1 was accepted. It can therefore be concluded that the application of the TaRL model is more effective than conventional teaching in improving students’ oral presentation skills of descriptive texts.

This study aims to describe the extent to which hobbyists perceive photography as a means of self-expression and anxiety reduction. Photography, as a form of visual art, provides a space for individuals to creatively express their emotions, thoughts, and life experiences. Through photography, individuals can convey things that are difficult to express verbally, including feelings of anxiety, stress, or confusion. The method used in this study is a qualitative method, where data is collected through in-depth interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) to explore the subjective experiences of participants in more depth. The subjects in this study were 21-year-old students who have had a photography hobby for 4 to 5 years. The number of subjects in this study was 3 people who were selected purposively based on their active involvement in photography activities. Data analysis techniques used included interview transcription, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions based on the data collected from each subject. The results show that the three subjects have many similarities in their views on the psychological benefits of photography, despite differences in their respective focuses and approaches. In general, they stated that photography helps them express themselves, process and interpret past experiences, and reduce anxiety, especially in social situations or when interacting with others. Photography is also considered to increase self-confidence, provide a sense of control over situations, and serve as a medium for self-reflection. Thus, photography is not just a hobby, but also serves as a positive coping mechanism for maintaining mental health and emotional balance.
