Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (UMKM) play a crucial role in driving local economic growth, particularly in the food and beverage sector. However, many UMKM, such as Cipta Rasa Mulya, still face significant challenges in adopting modern marketing approaches to expand their reach and enhance their competitiveness. This community service program focuses on addressing two major issues: the lack of effective digital marketing utilization and the weak brand identity—especially in packaging design—of the dairy products produced by the UMKM. Through a structured and intensive training program, this initiative aims to provide UMKM actors with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in rebranding and digital marketing. The activities include workshops on digital branding strategies, hands-on mentoring sessions for social media management, product photography, and brand storytelling, as well as ongoing evaluations to monitor progress and implementation. The expected outcomes of this program are multifaceted, including improved brand awareness among consumers, more attractive and informative packaging, increased product variety, and broader market reach through the use of digital platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and e-commerce channels. By enhancing the UMKM’s ability to present their products professionally and utilize social media for marketing purposes, this program supports the development of more competitive and sustainable business practices. In the long term, it is anticipated that such interventions will not only increase the visibility of Cipta Rasa Mulya’s dairy products but also strengthen their position in both local and national markets. Ultimately, this initiative highlights the importance of combining technological adaptation with creative branding in empowering UMKM and stimulating inclusive economic growth.

Successful development encompasses various aspects of community life and cannot be separated from progress in the health sector. Health is one of the key indicators in determining the quality of life of a population. Therefore, attention to health—especially for vulnerable groups such as the elderly—is of great importance. Regular health check-ups serve as a preventive measure to help the community detect illnesses early and encourage individuals to take an active role in maintaining their own health. Several types of examinations are commonly provided free of charge during community service activities, including blood pressure checks, random blood glucose tests, uric acid level tests, and cholesterol level screenings. These health checks are especially beneficial for the elderly, as they help monitor overall health conditions and enable early management of diseases to prevent further complications. In this activity, a total of 40 elderly individuals voluntarily participated in the health screening. The methods used included health education sessions and direct examinations of blood pressure, uric acid levels, and random blood glucose levels. The counseling was delivered using simple and clear language, and it included a question-and-answer session to help participants better understand the information provided. The results of the examinations showed that some of the elderly participants had high blood pressure and elevated blood glucose levels, which led to recommendations for follow-up visits to nearby healthcare facilities. Through this health screening initiative, the overall health quality of the elderly participants improved, and their awareness of the importance of early detection increased. This activity is expected to motivate the broader community to pay more attention to their health and to undergo regular health check-ups. By taking a proactive role in managing their well-being, individuals can reduce the risk of serious complications in the future and contribute to the creation of a healthier society overall.

Abstract. This study aims to examine the role of social innovation in accelerating community economic development through a participatory approach based on local potential. Social innovation is seen as an effective new solution to address various social and economic problems, particularly at the community level, by involving communities as key actors of change. This study highlights the importance of collaboration between communities, government, academia, the private sector, and non-governmental organizations in creating an inclusive and sustainable development ecosystem. The results indicate that social innovation can strengthen community economic independence, create alternative economic models such as digital cooperatives and community-based economies, and encourage broad participation in the development process. However, various obstacles remain, such as low digital literacy, limited access to funding, and weak policy support. Therefore, systemic interventions and more progressive policy support are needed to expand the impact of social innovation on sustainable community economic development.

The author constructs the story world through elements such as plot, character, and setting. These elements are interconnected and form a cohesive whole within the narrative. This study aims to examine and analyze the story elements in the novel Angin Bersyair by Andrei Aksana. The theoretical framework used in this research is Robert Stanton's structuralism theory. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out through literature study, using techniques such as reading the novel, highlighting and identifying data, classifying, selecting, compiling the data corpus, and organizing the data. The results of the analysis show that the novel Angin Bersyair by Andrei Aksana is constructed using a mixed plot structure, the setting is categorized into place, time, and atmosphere. The characterization includes both main and supporting characters. The mixed plot in the novel combines both progressive and regressive plot patterns, allowing the author to weave past and present events fluidly to enrich the narrative tension and emotional depth. The temporal shifts also reflect the psychological complexity of the main characters, especially in relation to themes of love, identity, and longing. The setting of place varies from urban environments that reflect modern social dynamics to more introspective or symbolic places that reveal the characters’ inner worlds. The time setting spans multiple periods, indicating a narrative that draws heavily on memory and personal transformation. The atmosphere often shifts between melancholic, romantic, and contemplative tones, aligning with the protagonist’s emotional journey. Character analysis reveals a strong central figure whose emotional struggles and internal conflicts are supported and contrasted by secondary characters, enriching the story’s multidimensionality. The protagonist is depicted with psychological depth, while the supporting characters serve as foils or catalysts for change. Overall, this research highlights how Angin Bersyair employs literary elements to construct a rich and emotionally engaging narrative grounded in structuralist principles.

This study aims to improve student learning outcomes through the implementation of the cooperative learning model of the jigsaw type in science instruction for Grade V students at SDN 76/IX Muaro Jambi. This research is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) using the Kemmis & McTaggart model, which consists of four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The research was conducted in two cycles to measure progressive improvements in student learning outcomes. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The subjects were all 20 students of Grade V at SDN 76/IX Muaro Jambi. In the pre-cycle stage, before the intervention, only 25% of the students achieved satisfactory learning outcomes, which was categorized as "not yet meeting expectations." After the implementation of the first cycle, student achievement improved to 50%, falling into the category of "approaching fairly successful." However, this result had not yet reached the expected level of success. In the second cycle, the application of the jigsaw-type cooperative learning model was further optimized. The results showed a significant increase, with 80% of students achieving successful outcomes, which was categorized as "approaching highly successful." This improvement demonstrates that the jigsaw model effectively enhances student engagement, individual and group accountability, and conceptual understanding in science learning. Therefore, this study concludes that the cooperative learning model of the jigsaw type has a positive impact on improving student learning outcomes in science. The researcher recommends that teachers, especially in science and religious education (PAI), adopt the jigsaw learning model as a strategic alternative to foster an active, enjoyable, and meaningful learning process. The collaborative nature of the model encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning and for helping their peers, creating a more supportive and productive classroom environment.

This study aims to quantitatively test the effectiveness of a concrete object-based science learning strategy in improving students' understanding of abstract concepts and addressing their learning difficulties in science at the elementary school level. By implementing a quasi-experimental design, this study compared a group of students who learned science through real media and concrete objects and through contextual, hands-on experiences with a control group. The hypothesis in this study states that students in the experimental group will show a significant increase in their science concept understanding test scores, measurable development of critical thinking skills, and a decrease in their detected learning difficulties, when compared with the control group. The tools employed in this research included a standardized test for understanding science concepts, a rubric designed to evaluate critical thinking abilities, and a Likert-scale survey to gauge students' opinions on how difficult they found the material. The quantitative data collected will be examined using an independent t-test to compare the average scores of different groups and a paired t-test to measure progress within the experimental group. Preliminary findings indicate that complex and abstract science materials are often the main cause of learning difficulties for elementary school students, which is in line with the limitations in abstract reasoning at that age, as stated in Piaget's theory of cognitive development. Therefore, this concrete method is expected to significantly increase student participation, help them absorb new information into their existing understanding, and in turn, improve their learning outcomes. The results of this study will provide concrete evidence of the positive effects of using concrete media and direct experiences in science learning at the elementary school level, as well as provide data-based suggestions for curriculum development and better teaching practices to address gaps in students' understanding of abstract concepts.

Shrimp shell waste is a chitin-rich biopolymer with high potential for microbial bioconversion into value-added products. This study aimed to analyze the microstructural degradation of shrimp shells by the actinomycete isolate 18D38A1 under solid-state fermentation, using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). A fresh sample preparation method was applied, involving washing and immersion in 70% ethanol, followed by vacuum drying and gold sputter-coating. Fermentation was conducted over a period of 1 to 4 days. SEM analysis revealed progressive structural deterioration of the shrimp shell matrix, including increased surface erosion, pore formation, and breakdown of chitin fibers, which became more pronounced each day. These observations indicate active and time-dependent biodegradation by isolate 18D38A1. The sample preparation protocol proved effective in preserving morphological features and enhancing SEM image clarity, enabling precise visualization of degradation stages. The combination of solid-state fermentation and optimized SEM preparation provides a reliable approach to evaluate the biodegradation process of chitinous waste by actinomycetes over time. This study demonstrates a practical SEM sample preparation method for visualizing the progressive biodegradation of shrimp shell by actinomycete isolate 18D38A1 from day 1 to day 4.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), benign prostatic enlargement (BPE), and lowerurinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are among the most prevalent urological conditions affecting agingmen. Over 30% of men above the age of 60 experience moderate to severe LUTS, often requiringmedical intervention. While the pathophysiology of BPH/BPE remains partially unclear, theandrogen receptor pathway—particularly the role of dihydrotestosterone—is well established. Agentssuch as finasteride and dutasteride target this pathway by inhibiting 5α-reductase. More recently,metabolic dysfunction and chronic prostatic inflammation have also been recognized as contributingfactors to the progression of BPE and LUTS. A deeper understanding of these mechanisms is criticalfor developing more effective therapeutic strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness ofdual therapy with tamsulosin and solifenacin in improving urinary symptoms and bladder function inpatients diagnosed with BPH. A total of 120 patients with bothersome urinary symptoms wereenrolled. Data was collected using a structured medical questionnaire, and the follow-up periodranged from 3 to 6 months. The findings demonstrated a significant improvement in symptomseverity, with the mean score decreasing from 10.09 to 3.44 post-treatment. Additionally, the pre-void urine volume increased from 181.62 ml to 260.81 ml, indicating enhanced bladder capacity.However, no statistically significant change was observed in post-void residual urine volume. Theseresults support the incorporation of tamsulosin-solifenacin dual therapy into clinical protocols formanaging LUTS in BPH patients, particularly for those with storage-related symptoms.

This research examines the legal protection available to communities affected by land acquisition for public interest development in Indonesia. Although governed primarily by Law No. 2 of 2012 and updated through Law No. 6 of 2023, many legal ambiguities remain, especially regarding the fairness of compensation and the recognition of informal or uncertified land rights. The objective of this study is to critically evaluate the adequacy of these legal frameworks and identify gaps that undermine justice for affected populations. Employing a normative-juridical method, the research conducts doctrinal analysis, comparative law review (with cases from Malaysia and India), and stakeholder consultation to assess both the text and implementation of relevant laws. The study finds that key legal concepts such as “fair and appropriate compensation” remain undefined in statute, leading to inconsistent application across regions. Furthermore, compensation mechanisms such as share ownership and resettlement are inadequately regulated and poorly implemented. The findings emphasize the disparity between normative intent and administrative reality, particularly for holders of uncertified land. By integrating stakeholder feedback with normative evaluation, the research proposes actionable reforms to strengthen legal protection and uphold constitutional guarantees under Article 28H. In conclusion, while Indonesia has made progress in establishing a framework for public interest land acquisition, significant doctrinal and institutional reforms are required to ensure equitable outcomes for all landholders.

The patient, MA, a 2-year-4-month-old boy, was brought by his mother to Simpang Keuramat Primary Health Center with complaints of itchy scalp for the past 4 months. On the itchy area, white scales were observed. Initially, it was only itching, but two weeks later, the parents noticed white patches on the scalp that became thicker and more scaly. The itching was intermittent and worsened with sweating. At first, only a few hairs were broken, but over time it progressed into a round area of hair loss with well-defined borders. The patient bathes twice daily and shampoos every other day. Towels, pillows, and combs used by the patient were not shared with other family members. According to the patient's parents, the child often plays with stray cats around the house. Primary data were obtained through allo-anamnesis, physical examination, home visits, completion of the family folder, and patient records. Assessment was conducted based on the initial holistic diagnosis, process, and outcome of the visits, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Interventions included educating the patient about the causes of tinea capitis, emphasizing the importance of skin hygiene, and explaining that the disease is highly contagious. Therefore, patients were advised to avoid sharing clothing and towels with family members as a preventive measure against transmission.

The role of teachers is very central to the successful implementation of this curriculum, both as learning facilitators, developers of open modules, and implementers of formative evaluations. Despite facing various challenges such as understanding learning concepts and time constraints, most teachers showed high enthusiasm and readiness to adapt, supported by internal training and support. Meanwhile, students showed active involvement in project-based and thematic learning, although there were still errors in adaptability. Overall, this study concludes that the implementation of the Independent Curriculum at MAPN 4 Medan reflects the institution's readiness to incorporate 21st-century skills and character values into the educational process, in line with strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile.

The Police Record Certificate (SKCK) policy as one of the requirements in the labor recruitment process often becomes an obstacle for former convicts to obtain employment. In fact, the right to work is part of human rights (HAM) that should be guaranteed for every individual, including those who have completed their sentence. This study analyzes the impact of the SKCK policy on employment opportunities for former convicts and how its elimination can be a progressive step in realizing human rights equality. This study uses a normative legal approach by examining related regulations, human rights principles, and comparative studies with other countries that have implemented inclusive policies for former convicts in the world of work. The results of the study show that the SKCK policy in job recruitment has the potential to discriminate against former convicts and strengthen social stigma, thus hindering their reintegration process into society. The elimination or at least reform of the SKCK policy to be more inclusive is expected to open up fairer access to employment, strengthen social rehabilitation, and reduce the rate of recidivism. Therefore, changes in regulations and policies are needed that better support the fulfillment of the rights of former convicts to obtain equal employment opportunities.

Literature is born from the human desire to express their existence, which is closely related to the relationship between individuals and with the reality of life. A literary work contains specific intentions and purposes set by the author. Therefore, all aspects of a literary work originate from the author, who plays a crucial role in generating creative ideas that are expressed through their writings.In line with technological advancements, literature has also undergone transformation. One of the indicators of this progress is the emergence of intersemiotic transfer or adaptation, namely the process of changing the medium through which a literary work is presented, such as from text to audiovisual or film. In this context, the researcher examines the adaptation process from novel to film as the object of study.The object of this research is the novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, which was later adapted into a film by director Baz Luhrmann, released in 2013 under the same title. The novel portrays the life of the American upper class during the 1920s, an era often referred to as the Roaring Twenties.This study uses a descriptive qualitative method. Qualitative research aims to describe and analyze social phenomena and activities found in the research object. The data were collected through reading, observing, and note-taking techniques, involving both the novel and the film script. In total, the researcher collected 12 data points from the analysis of the novel and its film adaptation.

Chronic Kidney Failure (CKD) is a condition of permanent and progressive decline in kidney function. CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis often experience sleep disturbances, which impact their physical and psychological condition. Non-pharmacological interventions such as deep breathing relaxation and lavender aromatherapy can be alternative therapies to address these disorders. This study analyzes nursing care for sleep disturbances in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis and evaluates the effectiveness of deep breathing relaxation therapy combined with lavender aromatherapy inhalation. This study used a case study approach with three CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis and experiencing sleep disturbances. The intervention was carried out for three days with a combination of deep breathing relaxation therapy and lavender aromatherapy inhalation. After three days of intervention, complaints of insomnia decreased in all three patients. The sleep pattern score increased to 5, indicating undisturbed sleep patterns. Deep breathing relaxation therapy combined with lavender aromatherapy inhalation is effective in addressing sleep disturbances in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis. This therapy is recommended as an additional intervention in the hospital and should be carried out with family support to increase patient comfort.

Turmeric is a spice commodity that has high economic market potential. However, the utilization of turmeric, especially in Kunden Village, Sukoharjo Regency is still limited in terms of processing innovation, and creates organic waste that has not been optimally utilized, namely turmeric leaves. The Village Development Program, carried out a zero waste-based transformation through the manufacture of gummy spices from rhizomes and liquid organic fertilizer from turmeric leaf waste. This activity is with the farmer women's group of Tani Lestari, with stages of socialization, training, and practice. The results of this program show that the farmer women's group of Tani Lestari members are able to understand product processing innovations in the form of turmeric gummy and optimize turmeric leaf waste into liquid organic fertilizer. Gummy turmeric is a functional food product that is good for health, while liquid organic fertilizer is an alternative to reducing organic waste from turmeric leaves to support sustainable agriculture. The provision of e-modules strengthens the sustainability of the program even after the activity has ended. Zero waste-based innovation not only encourages community participation, especially farmer women's group in village development based on local resources, but also creates a community that is adaptive to progress.

This study aims to explain the application of the drill method and to analyze the improvement of students' ability to understand initiation after using this method. This study uses the Action Research (CAR) method in the classroom. This study was conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, action, observation, and reflection.
