Kyriad Hotel Arra Cepu is a star-rated hotel located in Blora Regency that plays an important role in supporting tourism activities, business travel, and the development of the local hospitality industry. Despite its strategic position, initial observations and discussions with hotel management revealed several challenges related to service quality, which has not yet fully aligned with current hospitality industry standards. These challenges include limited continuous staff training, inconsistencies between employee competencies and established standard operating procedures, and insufficient professional communication skills. In response, a community service program was developed in the form of competency-based training specifically tailored to the needs of Kyriad Hotel Arra Cepu. The program aims to enhance human resource quality through structured and intensive training aligned with the Indonesian National Work Competency Standards in the hospitality sector, covering Front Office, Housekeeping, Food and Beverage Products, and Food and Beverage Service. The training was implemented using a participatory and hands-on approach supported by ongoing coaching. Training materials included hotel hygiene and sanitation, excellent service practices, telephone operator etiquette, and basic English communication. This program provides direct benefits by improving employee competence, professionalism, and guest satisfaction, while also supporting the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education and strengthening collaboration between academia and the hotel industry. The expected outcomes include improved staff skills, higher service quality, and a replicable training model for similar hotels.

The rapid rise of short-form social media platforms, particularly TikTok, among adolescents has raised concerns regarding excessive use and potential behavioral addiction that may negatively affect mental health and academic functioning. This community engagement program aimed to screen the risk of TikTok addiction among secondary school students in West Jakarta and provide education on healthy digital practices. The program was conducted at one private school in Jelambar, involving 306 students aged 11–18 years. Screening was performed using the TikTok Addiction Scale (TTAS) followed by digital literacy education. A Plan–Do–Check–Action (PDCA) framework was applied to ensure systematic implementation. The mean TTAS score was 39.97 ± 14.24 (range 20–84), indicating diverse levels of TikTok engagement. Female students demonstrated higher scores and wider distribution, suggesting greater vulnerability to excessive social media use. Digital hygiene and screen-time management education enhanced students’ awareness regarding social media addiction risks and appropriate preventive strategies. This program demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of TTAS-based screening for early identification of TikTok addiction risk. It highlighted the importance of integrating digital health promotion into school-based mental health programs to support adolescent well-being.

This study aims to analyze the comprehensive relationship between selection, placement, career development, and employee well-being within the perspective of organizational psychology. Human resources (HR) are the central driver of organizational success, yet many institutions, including Islamic educational institutions, still face challenges in professional HR management. This research employs a library research method with a descriptive-comparative analysis approach, reviewing relevant scientific literature and empirical reports. The findings indicate that these four aspects form an integrated unit; effective selection based on person-organization fit provides quality candidates, appropriate placement optimizes potential, structured career development maintains motivation, and holistic well-being ensures loyalty and productivity. The study concludes that organizational success is heavily dependent on the synergy of these four components managed through an organizational psychology approach, rather than being treated as separate administrative functions.

Marriage is a basic human need that involves an official agreement between husband and wife, regulating rights and obligations, including the ownership and management of joint property. Under Indonesian law, property acquired during marriage is considered joint property, which often becomes a source of conflict during divorce. To prevent this, Indonesian law recognizes the existence of a marital separation of property agreement, which regulates the separation of assets between spouses from the beginning, whether before or during marriage. A separation of property agreement provides legal protection for personal assets, protects one party from being liable for the partner’s debts, and reduces the potential for disputes during divorce. Therefore, it is important for the public to receive socialization and legal education about the separation of property agreement in marriage to increase understanding of its benefits and protect the rights of married couples in both marriage and divorce. Legal education on this matter can help reduce disputes over joint property and offer better protection for couples who wish to clearly and legally manage their assets.

This study aims to analyze the role of UINSU’s Community Service Program (KKN) students in enhancing Islamic entrepreneurial awareness among the residents of Pahang Village, Talawi District, Batu Bara Regency. The KKN program serves as a platform for applying academic knowledge while empowering communities through educational, persuasive, and participatory approaches. The students introduced fundamental concepts of Islamic entrepreneurship, including principles of justice, honesty, sustainability, and the avoidance of riba, gharar, and maisir. Through a series of activities such as seminars, micro-business training sessions, financial management mentoring based on sharia principles, and simple business model simulations, the villagers began to show improved understanding of Islamic economic values. Moreover, the active involvement of students created an inclusive learning environment that was accessible to various community groups. The findings indicate that the presence of KKN students contributed positively to cultivating entrepreneurial motivation, particularly among youth and micro-business actors. This improvement was reflected in changes in mindset, interest in initiating halal businesses, and increased awareness of applying sharia principles in daily economic activities. Thus, the KKN program not only provides practical experience for students but also offers a tangible contribution to strengthening sharia-based economic empowerment at the village level.

This article investigates how Islamic Education teachers implement their professional competence in managing learning at a public Islamic senior secondary school in North Maluku, Indonesia. Teacher competence is understood as a multidimensional construct that includes pedagogical, professional, personal, social, and spiritual dimensions and is expressed through lesson planning, classroom instruction, and learning assessment. Using a qualitative naturalistic design, data were collected through participant observation, in depth interviews with teachers, school leaders, and students, and documentation of lesson plans and institutional records. The findings show that lesson planning is carried out consistently and aligned with the curriculum, but the depth and creativity of plans vary between teachers, with some documents remaining largely administrative. In classroom instruction, teachers demonstrate sincere efforts to create a conducive learning climate, connect Islamic teachings with students daily lives, and encourage participation, although limited use of educational technology, differences in student engagement, and classroom management challenges constrain the consistency of instructional quality. Assessment practices employ diverse techniques to evaluate cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains, yet the systematic use of formative and authentic assessment is still uneven due to workload and time pressures. Supporting factors include institutional backing through workshops and subject teacher forums, supportive leadership, adequate facilities, and teacher experience, while inhibiting factors comprise internal limitations in instructional design, external constraints related to technology and student diversity, and structural administrative demands. Overall, the study offers an integrated and context specific picture of how competence in learning management contributes to students understanding, motivation, and religious character.

Stunting remains one of the major chronic nutritional problems in Indonesia, including in Oesapa Village, Kelapa Lima District, Kupang City, East Nusa Tenggara Province. This condition is not only caused by inadequate nutritional intake but is also closely related to chronic infections resulting from poor hygiene and sanitation, particularly intestinal parasitic diseases. To reduce the risk of parasitic infections and improve children’s nutritional status, preventive efforts through education and health promotion are essential.This community service activity aimed to increase public awareness and knowledge, especially among parents and caregivers of stunted children, regarding the importance of maintaining hygiene and sanitation to prevent intestinal parasitic diseases. The methods used included participatory approaches such as interactive lectures, group discussions, and practical demonstrations of clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS), food hygiene, clean water management, and household waste disposal. Evaluation was conducted using pre-test and post-test instruments to measure changes in participants’ knowledge.The activities, carried out from May to September 2025 in Oesapa Village, showed a significant improvement in community understanding of hygiene and sanitation practices. Participants demonstrated greater commitment to maintaining environmental cleanliness and adopting healthier daily behaviors. Continuous educational efforts and multisectoral support are needed to help reduce the prevalence of stunting in the region

The Bulusari Film Village Community possesses considerable potential as a community-based creative space, yet it continues to face limitations in technical film production skills and community management. This community engagement program aims to strengthen the community’s creative capacity and professionalism through training in scriptwriting, cinematography, production, and film editing, as well as reinforcing organizational management using the Participatory Community Appraisal (PCA) approach. The activities were implemented through five major stages, namely needs identification, formulation of alternative solutions, technical training, short film production mentoring, and strengthening of the community’s management system. The results demonstrate significant improvements in members’ technical competencies across all stages of film production, from pre-production to post-production. The community successfully produced a script and one short film with enhanced visual and narrative quality compared to their earlier works. In addition, the establishment of a new organizational structure, operational SOPs, and a simple administrative system effectively improved community governance. The program also broadened the community’s collaborative network with local government, educational institutions, and other creative groups. These findings indicate that PCA-based empowerment supports increased creativity, autonomy, and competitiveness among local creative communities in alignment with the SDGs, particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG 11 (Sustainable Communities).

This study aims to understand the impact of income distribution from the “Khas Matab–Agro Eco Edu Tourism” Program on the economic growth of communities in the area of the Al Hidayah Social Foundation (YSA), Bedugul, Bali. Unlike quantitative studies that measure impacts numerically, this research employs a descriptive qualitative approach to explore the perceptions, experiences, and socio-economic changes perceived by program beneficiaries. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), observation, and documentation. Thematic analysis was used to identify key themes related to changes in household income, consumption patterns, micro-enterprise empowerment, and perceptions of fairness in program distribution. The findings indicate that the “Khas Matab–Agro Eco Edu Tourism–Farming” Program not only enhances community economic access but also strengthens economic and social capital in education, fosters a sense of self-reliance, and promotes the sustainability of micro-enterprises. Nevertheless, challenges remain in ensuring equitable income distribution and improving community business management capacity. This study emphasizes the importance of an empowerment-based income distribution approach grounded in social capital theory (Putnam, 2000) and community empowerment theory (Chambers, 1997) for local economic development.

The software used is DBMS (Database Management System), while the data storage medium is MySQL and PHP as a Programming Language.

The capacity of village officials to understand village legislative procedures is a key factor in realizing accountable and law-based village governance. However, conditions in Tanjung Village, Pademawu District, Pamekasan Regency indicate that village officials' understanding of the village regulation drafting process is still limited, and there are no regulations regarding the management of village tourism potential. This community service activity aims to improve the legislative capacity of village officials through technical assistance in drafting Village Regulations (Perdes). The method used was a participatory approach through field observations, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), village legal education, and assistance in drafting simple academic papers and Perdes drafts. The activity results indicate an increased understanding of legislative mechanisms among village officials and the development of a draft Village Regulation on Village Tourism Management, which has been submitted to the Tanjung Village Government as one of the main outputs. Furthermore, this activity contributed to the formation of a local legal culture and increased village government participation in the legislative process. This mentoring model can be replicated in other villages as a strategy to strengthen village governance based on regulations and local needs

Effective communication is a key competency for medical professionals, but traditional classroom-based methods in Indonesia face challenges such as limited practice, geographical barriers, and insufficient exposure to diverse patient scenarios. Mobile-assisted learning (MAL) offers a promising solution to enhance medical communication training outside traditional settings. This study investigates the effectiveness of MAL interventions in developing communication skills among Indonesian medical students and healthcare professionals. A mixed-methods approach was used, involving a quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-assessments of communication competence among 180 participants from three Indonesian medical schools. The MAL intervention included a mobile app with video demonstrations, interactive case scenarios, peer feedback, and microlearning modules. Quantitative data showed a significant improvement in communication competence (mean increase of 23.4%, p<0.001), with notable gains in information gathering (28%), relationship building (26%), and patient education (21%). The mobile platform saw high engagement (average of 4.3 sessions/week) and 87% module completion. Qualitative data revealed increased confidence in consultations, improved cultural sensitivity, and better time management. Challenges included inconsistent internet access, varying digital literacy, and resistance from traditional educators. MAL shows potential for improving medical communication in Indonesia, offering flexible, accessible training. Successful implementation requires addressing infrastructure issues, integrating MAL into existing curricula, and training faculty. This study adds to the growing evidence supporting technology-enhanced medical education in resource-limited settings.

This study investigates the influence of financial literacy, entrepreneurship training, and financial inclusion on the performance of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) through business sustainability. Using a systematic literature review (SLR) examines the impact of financial literacy, entrepreneurship training, and financial inclusion on MSME performance through business sustainability mediation by synthesizing empirical data from 12 research (2020–2025) across Scopus and Web of Science. Positive direct effects on sustainability (financial literacy via budgeting/risk management; training via adaptive resilience; inclusiveness via digital access) and performance metrics like profitability/growth are confirmed by results using the PRISMA 2020 flow.  Amid obstacles like financial access restrictions and COVID-19 disruptions, business sustainability appears as a crucial mediator, linking these factors to improved MSME results in developing contexts (Africa, Indonesia). Practical implications compel policymakers to give integrated literacy programs, contextual training, and inclusive finance top priority. Theoretical contributions combine financial literacy, entrepreneurial learning, and sustainability ideas into a holistic mediation model. The results highlight the importance of integrating financial education, entrepreneurial skill development, and inclusive financial systems to strengthen MSME resilience and competitiveness. This study provides practical implications for policymakers, financial institutions, and support organisations in designing effective interventions that foster sustainable business growth. The research also contributes theoretically by confirming the mediating role of business sustainability in the relationship between financial literacy, entrepreneurship training, financial inclusion, and MSME performance. Future studies may expand these insights by examining additional contextual factors such as digital technology adoption and business networking that further support sustainable MSME development.

The growing demand for transparency, accountability, and measurable performance has transformed higher education institutions into complex public organizations required to deliver reliable and stakeholder-oriented services. Within this governance-driven environment, institutional governance plays a fundamental role in shaping service excellence and institutional legitimacy. Drawing on a public administration perspective, this study examines how governance dimensions influence academic service performance in higher education. This research employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, document analysis, and institutional observations involving university leaders, academic administrators, faculty members, and students. The analysis focuses on governance dimensions—transparency, accountability, participation, effectiveness, and responsibility—and their integration into institutional systems such as performance management, quality assurance, and digital infrastructure. The findings reveal that governance frameworks are formally established through regulations and digital systems; however, their operational integration remains uneven. Transparency improves service reliability when supported by consistent information management, while accountability mechanisms tend to emphasize procedural compliance rather than performance-based evaluation. Stakeholder participation is institutionalized but largely consultative. The study concludes that service excellence in higher education is a governance-driven outcome that requires systemic alignment between governance principles, institutional capacity, and performance management processes. Strengthened governance integration enhances service reliability and institutional legitimacy.

Preterm birth remains a significant public health concern due to its contribution to neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Among the various risk factors, maternal infections—particularly sexually transmitted infections (STIs)—have been identified as preventable yet critical determinants of premature delivery. This study aimed to examine the relationship between STIs and preterm birth among mothers receiving care at Tomalou Primary Health Care Center. A cross-sectional analytical design was employed, involving 30 postpartum mothers whose medical records and antenatal care data were available. Data on STI status and birth outcomes were collected from health center records and laboratory results, while maternal demographic and obstetric characteristics were also documented. Results indicated that 40% of participants were diagnosed with STIs during pregnancy, and 33.3% experienced preterm birth. Chi-square analysis revealed a significant association between maternal STI status and preterm delivery (p = 0.003). Logistic regression demonstrated that mothers with STIs were sixteen times more likely to deliver prematurely compared to uninfected mothers (OR = 16.0; 95% CI: 2.45–104.3; p = 0.002). These findings suggest that STIs represent a substantial risk factor for preterm birth, even among mothers with adequate antenatal care attendance. Early detection, timely treatment, and comprehensive reproductive health education are recommended to reduce infection-related adverse outcomes. Strengthening STI screening and management within primary healthcare settings is essential to improve maternal and neonatal health outcomes. This study provides evidence for the importance of integrating infection prevention strategies into routine antenatal care to mitigate the risk of premature delivery.

This study aims to describe and analyze the implementation of contextual Islamic Religious Education (PAI) based on agro-education integrated with Islamic values at SMP Nurul Huda Merakurak. The background of this research is the need for a more practical and contextually relevant PAI learning model that aligns with students’ real-life environments, particularly in agrarian-based schools. This study employs a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results show that PAI learning is directly integrated into agro- educational activities such as plant cultivation, environmental management, and character building through values such as trustworthiness (amanah), hard work, responsibility, and gratitude. PAI teachers play an active role in connecting Islamic teachings with agro-educational practices through contextual and reflective approaches. This research contributes to the development of a contextual and transformative PAI learning model that is relevant to local potential and students’ spiritual needs. The findings are expected to inspire other educational institutions in designing innovative PAI learning models based on environmental engagement and character development.
