Vocational high school graduates are expected to master not only technical competencies but also interpersonal skills that support their readiness for the workplace. Field observations at SMK Pasundan 1 Bandung indicate that students in the Online Business and Retail (Bisnis Daring dan Ritel) program still show a low level of assertive communication, evidenced by their difficulty in expressing opinions confidently, refusing requests politely, and handling direct interaction with customers. This community service program (Program Kemitraan Masyarakat/PKM) was designed to develop students' assertive communication skills through the role-play method. The program consists of five stages: needs analysis, development of training materials and role-play scenarios, training and practice, evaluation and feedback, and continued mentoring. Students are placed in simulated roles such as seller, buyer, and observer in scenarios involving customer service, complaint handling, price negotiation, and teamwork. The information-dissemination approach combines material delivery, discussion, hands-on practice, and technical guidance. The program is expected to increase students' understanding of assertive communication concepts, strengthen their interpersonal communication skills, and provide an applied learning experience relevant to the demands of the retail and customer-service industry. The expected output of this activity is a scientific article published in a nationally accredited (Sinta) journal.

Low courage in arguing and high communication apprehension often become major obstacles for high school students when facing academic presentations. This Community Service (PkM) program aims to strengthen students' communicative rhetoric skills and public speaking abilities at SMA Negeri 11 Makassar. Based on a needs assessment, partner students need techniques for persuasive public speaking, self-evaluation tools for their communication performance, and strategies for managing mental anxiety. The program was carried out through a practice-based reflective workshop involving 25 students from the school's intra-organizational board. Quantitative evaluation results showed a significant improvement in students' speaking competence, with the average score increasing from 58.4 (pre-test) to 86.2 (post-test).

The Society 5.0 era demands increased student health literacy as an essential competency. However, previous research has tended to focus only on the health education aspect and has not comprehensively examined the integration of technology-based health education management. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effectiveness of technology-based health education management innovations and identify key factors influencing their successful implementation. This study used a mixed methods approach with a sequential explanatory design. Quantitative data were collected through a survey of 200 students, while qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews with 10 teachers and the principal. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed using a thematic approach to strengthen the interpretation of the results. The results indicate that technology-based health education management innovations have a significant impact on improving student health literacy. Furthermore, it was found that successful implementation is influenced by five main factors: school institutional support, availability of technological infrastructure, teacher training, student motivation, and parental involvement. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of managerial and technological approaches in health education, tested through a mixed methods approach. These findings confirm that successful health literacy improvement is determined not only by the use of technology, but also by organizational readiness and multi-stakeholder collaboration. The implications of this research provide theoretical contributions to the development of technology-based health education management models and practical recommendations for educational institutions facing the challenges of Society 5.0.

Kappaphycus striatum seaweed is a strategic commodity producing high-value carrageenan and is widely cultivated in Indonesia. This study aims to assess the growth rate of Kappaphycus striatum which is seeded with Sargassum sp. in floating net cages (KJA) and then cultivated using the longline method in the waters of Batuhopon, Huilelot Village, Semau Island, Kupang Regency. The study was conducted during August–October 2025 using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments, namely P0 (5 kg Kappaphycus striatum + 0 kg Sargassum sp.), P1 (4.5 kg Kappaphycus striatum + 0.5 kg Sargassum sp.), P2 (3.5 kg Kappaphycus striatum + 1.5 kg Sargassum sp.), and P3 (2.5 kg Kappaphycus striatum + 2.5 kg Sargassum sp.). Observed parameters included daily growth rate, specific growth rate, absolute growth rate, ice-ice disease incidence, and water quality. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results showed that the average daily growth rate in all treatments increased until the fifth week, but some treatments decreased in the sixth week. Treatment P0 provided the highest and most stable growth. The results of the ANOVA test showed that the treatment had no significant effect on the daily growth rate (P>0.05), but had a significant effect on the specific growth rate and absolute growth (P<0.05). The highest absolute growth was obtained in treatment P0, followed by P1, P3, and P2. The incidence of ice-ice disease increased gradually from 5% in the first week to 35% in the sixth week. Water quality parameters during the study were in the range that still supported seaweed growth, namely temperature 28–30°C, salinity 30–33 ppt, pH 7.5–8.0, depth 20 cm, and current velocity 0.3–0.4 m/s.

Gatot, a fermented-cassava food, is the culinary icon of Gatot Tourism Village in Sumberpucung Subdistrict, Malang Regency. Cafe Koka, the pioneering gatot business in the area, faces two problems that hold back its growth. Its drying process still relies on sunlight, so production stops during the rainy season and the failure rate reaches 30–40%, while product presentation lacks adequate display facilities, lowering its appeal and selling value. This community-service program installed a 5 kg-per-batch cabinet dryer and two display refrigerators, accompanied by dried-gatot packaging development and staff training. The work followed a Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle combined with participatory mentoring over eight months, evaluating production and marketing indicators. After the program, drying time dropped from 2–4 days to about 4–5 hours, the product failure rate fell to 8–10%, and drying uniformity rose to about 90%. On the marketing side, impulse purchases increased by more than 40%, customer satisfaction with product display reached 4.5 of 5 (n=50), and monthly revenue grew about 175% owing to the new packaged-gatot line. Combining production and marketing technology strengthened the self-reliance of this local-food micro-enterprise.

Furthermore, there was a difference in effectiveness between the two methods, with triangle pass training being more effective than square pass training. In conclusion, both triangle pass and square pass training significantly improve passing accuracy; however, triangle pass training is more recommended as the primary method in futsal training programs.

Language errors in public spaces are still frequently found in various media, such as signboards, banners, billboards, and posters. This phenomenon not only indicates a deviation from standard Indonesian language rules but also has the potential to influence how people understand and use language. This study aims to describe the forms of language errors in public spaces, analyze them from a critical linguistic perspective, and identify their implications for public literacy. The method used is descriptive qualitative research with a critical linguistic analysis approach. Data in the form of examples of language use in public spaces are analyzed based on aspects of spelling, diction, and sentence structure, then interpreted in relation to the social practices and ideologies that underlie them. The results of the study indicate that the dominant language errors include spelling errors, inappropriate word choice, and the use of ineffective sentence structures. From a critical linguistic perspective, these errors are not only caused by a lack of mastery of language rules but are also influenced by social habits, the reproduction of deviant language practices, and the tendency to use foreign languages ​​to construct a certain image. These findings indicate that repeated exposure to language that does not conform to rules can affect the quality of public literacy. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen critical literacy and increase language awareness so that society is able to use and evaluate language more appropriately and responsibly.

This community-based project aimed to analyze the cash management system of the micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) Bakpia Juwara Satoe and develop recommendations to improve the company's financial performance. Cash management is a crucial but often overlooked aspect of MSME financial management, which can lead to cash flow problems, inaccurate record keeping, and poor management decisions. The methodology used included qualitative data collection through direct observation, in-depth interviews, and financial statement analysis. The project findings revealed that Bakpia Juwara Satoe lacked a functioning cash management system. There was no separation between cash receipts and disbursements, no standardized system for handling cash, and transaction recording remained manual and inconsistent.

The development of digital technology has driven significant economic transformation in various countries, including Muslim countries. Economic digitalization offers various opportunities, such as increased transaction efficiency, expanded market access, and strengthened financial inclusion. However, this development also presents various challenges, such as low Islamic financial literacy, the risk of technology misuse, and the emergence of economic practices inconsistent with Islamic principles. This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic economic values ​​in supporting the economic resilience of communities in Muslim countries in the digital era. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with library research methods. Data were obtained from various literature sources, such as scientific journals, books, academic articles, and reports relevant to Islamic economics, economic resilience, and the digital economy for the 2021–2026 period. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis techniques through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that Islamic economic values, such as justice, honesty, trustworthiness, and the prohibition of riba (usury), gharar (gharar), and maysir (gambling), play a crucial role in creating more transparent, ethical, and sustainable digital economic activities. Furthermore, the development of Sharia-compliant fintech, Sharia-compliant digital financial services, and Sharia-compliant business platforms also supports increased financial inclusion and community economic resilience. Therefore, integrating digital technology and Islamic economic values ​​can be a strategy for strengthening the economic resilience of communities in Muslim countries.

Environmental pollution is a common problem in cities and can increase the likelihood of flooding. The purpose of this study is to analyze environmental pollution as a cause of flooding in the Pekapuran Street area, Depok City. This study applies a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data were obtained through observation, documentation, and literature review. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the accumulation of household waste around the drainage channels causes obstruction of water flow, which triggers flooding during rain. In addition, the shallow, mud-filled, and poorly maintained drainage conditions increase the risk of flooding. Low levels of public awareness of environmental cleanliness are also factors that exacerbate the condition. This study concludes that flooding on Pekapuran Street is influenced not only by high rainfall, but also by environmental pollution and a suboptimal drainage system. Based on this, better waste management and drainage maintenance are needed to minimize the risk of flooding in the area.
