This program is expected to encourage MSMEs to register their intellectual property to protect innovation and enhance sustainable business competitiveness.

Adolescent mental health is an essential component of optimal growth and development, yet it often receives less attention compared to academic achievement. Adolescents are in a vulnerable developmental stage characterized by emotional changes, social pressure, and environmental demands, which increase the risk of mental health problems. This activity aimed to improve knowledge and promote positive attitudes among junior high school students regarding adolescent mental health, including its definition, signs and symptoms, risk factors, and prevention strategies. The method used was a health education intervention employing a pre-test and post-test design. The activity was conducted at Al Amanah Junior High School, South Tangerang City, involving 25 students. The evaluation instrument consisted of a 10-item multiple-choice questionnaire with a maximum score of 100. The results showed that the average pre-test score was 98.40%, while the post-test score increased to 99.60%, indicating a 1.20% improvement. Although the increase was relatively small due to the high baseline knowledge (ceiling effect), the findings demonstrate that the educational intervention effectively reinforced students’ understanding of adolescent mental health. In addition, interactive discussions during the session contributed to increased awareness and reduced stigma related to mental health issues. This mental health education program has the potential to support early prevention efforts and foster a more supportive school environment for adolescents’ psychological well-being.

Learning is the process of children getting to know knowledge that aims to increase knowledge as a basis for forming behavior. The learning process is carried out so that children experience behavioral changes and gain an overall improvement in knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Learning is very closely related to daily life, therefore it is important for children to learn continuously, one of which is through learning mathematics. Mathematics learning has a very important role in the sustainability of children's education because mathematics is one of the fundamental non-physical tools in the world of education and daily life. Through mathematics learning, children are trained to think logically, systematically, critically, and creatively in solving various problems. In addition, mathematics helps children solve calculation problems that are often encountered in daily activities, such as counting money, measuring length, time, and distance, and interpreting simple data. Mathematics learning also plays a role in developing the ability to reason and make appropriate decisions. Therefore, mathematics learning is a subject that must be followed because it has a great influence on thinking skills, learning independence, and children's readiness to face life challenges and scientific development in the future.

Drug storage is not only carried out in health facilities but can also be done independently by the community that consumes drugs, either as an emergency supply or leftover medication from previous use. Drug storage is often done without paying attention to the condition after the packaging is opened or understanding the drug's usage limit/Beyond Use Date (BUD). The community generally only looks at the expiration date/Expired Date (ED) on the drug packaging as a reference for safe drug use, and does not understand the safe usage limit for drugs after the primary packaging is opened. The purpose of this community service is to evaluate the community's knowledge and practices regarding the implementation of BUD/ED, as well as to provide education. This community service was carried out with an educational approach involving 21 people in Rejosari Village. This activity was carried out by distributing questionnaires to the community about the knowledge and practice of BUD/ED daily, then continued with the delivery of education using posters. The results of this activity indicate that the community has good knowledge of ED and BUD, but has not yet implemented ED and BUD in the storage and use of drugs independently.

Premarital sexual behavior in adolescents is a public health issue influenced by various individual, social, and environmental factors. Changes in social norms, technological advancements, and limited reproductive health knowledge make adolescents a group vulnerable to risky sexual behavior. This study aims to examine the factors influencing premarital sexual behavior among adolescents based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) approach. The method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), review national and international scientific articles published between 2013 and 2025. Data sources were abtained from Google Scholar and ScienceDirect, with inclusion criteria including articles in Indonesia and English, open access, full text, and relevant to HBM components. The study result indicate that factors such as perceived barriers, self-efficacy, and the quality of information play an important role in shaping adolescent sexual behavior. Low knowledge and limited perception oh the negative impacts of premarital sex increase the risk of engaging in risky sexual behavior. In addition, health promotion interventions based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) have been proven effective in improving knowledge, attitudes, and preventive behaviors regarding premarital sex among adolescents. Therefore, the HBM approach is recommended as a basis for developing comprehensive and sustainable adolescent reproductive health education and promotion programs.

Qualitative methods were used through observation, interviews, and direct outreach to the craftsmen. The results of the activity demonstrated increased knowledge and a shift in participants' perspectives on business management, particularly regarding equipment maintenance and division of labor. The craftsmen began to understand that routine maintenance can be performed simply and does not always require significant costs. Therefore, this activity is expected to help maintain the continuity of the production process, reduce the risk of equipment damage, and support increased productivity and the well-being of the local community.

Electronics learning in higher education continues to face various challenges, particularly in the provision of interactive learning media capable of concretely and engagingly visualizing the form, characteristics, and working principles of electronic components. The limitations of conventional learning media often result in abstract learning processes, which in turn lead to a low level of student understanding of basic electronics concepts. This study aims to develop the AMPERE as an innovative and technologically relevant interactive learning medium. The research employed R&D approach using the Borg & Gall model, which includes the stages of needs analysis, design, product development, validity testing, and limited implementation. The AMPERE application was developed using marker based AR technology, in which a smartphone camera detects markers to display and interact with 3D electronic component objects in real time. The results indicate that the AMPERE application achieved a high level of validity, with a score of 0.88 from subject-matter experts and 0.84 from media experts, and was therefore deemed suitable for use as a learning medium. The small-group trial results showed a practicality level of 82.07%, while the practicality test during the implementation stage reached 85.67%. These findings demonstrate that AMPERE is effective in enhancing learning interactivity and assisting students in understanding the form, function, and working principles of electronic components through smartphone-based digital visualization. Theoretically, these results are consistent with constructivist learning theory, which emphasizes active knowledge construction through direct experience and interaction with learning objects.

The development of Islamic political thought cannot be separated from the historical context and social dynamics surrounding it. One significant period that influenced the direction of this thought is the era of Western colonialism in the 19th to early 20th centuries. During this period, much of the Islamic world was under Western colonial rule, which had a profound impact on the social, political, and intellectual conditions of Muslims. Within the Muslim community itself, various internal issues related to religious understanding arose, causing difficulties in facing the dominance and hegemony of the West. Islamic political thought became one of the fields of study in political science, which is not only relevant today but also gained attention during the classical Islamic period. This study is highly significant, both in the development of knowledge and as a framework for political practice. Therefore, it is important to study Islamic political thought, as it provides deep insights into political dynamics and Islam’s contribution to shaping existing political systems, as well as offering perspectives that are useful in facing contemporary global challenges.

Indonesian language learning in elementary schools, especially on figurative language, still faces various problems, such as difficult to understand material, limited learning media, and low student interest and understanding. This is also experienced by fifth-grade students of SD 1 Mlati Lor who have difficulty recognizing types of figurative language and understanding their meaning well in context. This study aims to develop an interactive flipbook media about figurative language that highlights the local wisdom of North Sulawesi and test its feasibility and practicality for semantic learning. The method used in this study is research and development (R&D) with the ADDIE model, which consists of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research subjects were fifth-grade students of SD Negeri 1 Mlati Lor. Data collection was carried out through interviews, observations, validation by material and media experts, questionnaires for teachers and students, and learning outcome tests. Data were analyzed using qualitative and quantitative descriptive approaches. The results of the study indicate that the interactive flipbook media inspired by the local wisdom of North Sulawesi was considered very valid by experts. Furthermore, practicality testing demonstrated that teachers and students responded in the "very practical" category, indicating that the media was easy to use and well-received in learning. The application of local cultural elements has been shown to help students understand figurative language concepts more clearly and meaningfully. Therefore, the developed flipbook can be used as an alternative Indonesian language learning medium to improve students' semantic understanding and cultural knowledge in elementary schools.

Semantic interoperability remains a major challenge in large scale distributed information systems due to heterogeneous data schemas, diverse contextual interpretations, and the dynamic nature of distributed environments. Traditional metadata-based interoperability approaches are often insufficient to address these challenges, as they lack semantic expressiveness and adaptability. This study proposes a context aware knowledge graph framework to enhance semantic interoperability across heterogeneous distributed systems. The research adopts a design-oriented methodology involving requirement analysis, knowledge graph construction, ontology modeling and alignment, context aware semantic representation, and semantic reasoning. A prototype implementation is developed to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed framework through interoperability scenarios and cross-system semantic queries. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly improves semantic alignment accuracy, query precision, and recall compared to conventional metadata-based solutions. The explicit integration of contextual information and ontology-based reasoning enables adaptive semantic interpretation and reduces ambiguity across systems. Overall, the findings confirm that combining knowledge graphs with ontology modeling and context aware mechanisms provides a robust and scalable solution for improving semantic interoperability in complex distributed information systems.

Introduction: Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is an important indicator in improving health status, particularly among university students as a productive age group. Health knowledge plays a role as a predisposing factor in the formation of healthy behavior. Individuals with a good level of health knowledge tend to have higher awareness and motivation to implement PHBS. Conversely, a lack of knowledge may lead to behaviors that pose health risks. Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between the level of health knowledge and clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS) among students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang. Methods: This study employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 55 students, including students from health-related and non-health-related faculties. Samples were selected using an accidental sampling technique, namely respondents who were encountered and willing to complete the questionnaire at the time of data collection. The research instruments were a health knowledge questionnaire and a PHBS questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Spearman test. Results: The results showed that the majority of respondents had good health knowledge (89.1%) and good PHBS (90.9%). The Spearman test results showed a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant relationship between the level of health knowledge and PHBS. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the better the level of students’ health knowledge, the better the implementation of clean and healthy living behavior.

The world of education must actively participate in preparing a creative, innovative, and competitive generation in response to advances in technology and science. Schools, as formal educational institutions, have a great responsibility to improve students' entrepreneurial skills by adding innovative product development theory to the learning process. Amidst increasingly fierce competition, product innovation is essential to create added value and maintain the sustainability of managed businesses. Entrepreneurship also plays an important role in driving social change and economic growth. Students are also encouraged to learn to be more creative, take initiative, and dare to take risks if they are given the facilities to develop their entrepreneurial spirit at school. Practical learning, training in innovative product creation, and business management simulations help students understand and apply entrepreneurial principles efficiently. Schools are expected to be a sustainable place for developing students' entrepreneurial character through targeted outreach and instruction. This method not only improves students' knowledge and skills, but also builds independence and innovation, which can help students prepare for the world of work, business, and industry. The goal is to foster an entrepreneurial culture focused on developing personal potential, thereby producing independent, adaptive, highly competitive graduates who are ready to face global challenges.

The goal of Christian education is not only to increase students' knowledge but also to shape character that reflects the values ​​of faith in Christ. In the context of a diverse society, an inclusive and tolerant attitude towards differences is crucial for students. This paper aims to illustrate how students can be shaped to develop an inclusive and tolerant attitude based on the values ​​of the Christian faith. Through Christian Religious Education (PAK) learning that emphasizes love, respect for one another, justice, and peace, students are encouraged to recognize that every human being is created in the image and likeness of God. An inclusive and tolerant attitude can develop when students understand that differences are part of God's plan and implement this in their interactions with others. Therefore, Christian education plays a crucial role in instilling the value of Christ's love so that students can live peacefully together, appreciate differences, and become role models in a diverse society.

Malnutrition in children remains a serious public health challenge in Indonesia because it directly impacts growth, cognitive development, and the child's future quality of life. Parents play a crucial role in maintaining children's health, particularly in providing balanced nutrition and preventing nutritional problems such as stunting and malnutrition. This study aims to analyze the role of parents in maintaining children's health due to malnutrition based on a literature review. The method used is a qualitative literature study, through a search of various written sources in the form of scientific journals, articles, and relevant books obtained from Google Scholar. The results of the study indicate that the level of knowledge, education, parenting patterns, socioeconomic conditions, and active involvement of parents in monitoring children's growth significantly influence children's nutritional status and health. Parents play a role as providers of nutritious food, nutrition educators, role models of healthy lifestyles, and regular monitors of children's growth and development. Parents' lack of understanding of balanced nutrition, the habit of consuming instant foods, and minimal participation in health programs are risk factors for malnutrition in children. Therefore, increasing parental education and involvement through a family-based approach is an important strategy in efforts to prevent and address child nutrition problems sustainably.

Reading ability is a basic skill that plays a crucial role in the success of students' learning process. However, various studies indicate that the reading ability of junior high school students remains low. This study aims to analyze the reading ability of students at the UPT SMP Negeri 2 Mappakasunggu using Alfred Schutz's social phenomenology perspective. The research approach used was qualitative with descriptive methods. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation of students and teachers. The results indicate that students' low reading ability is not solely caused by cognitive factors but is also influenced by subjective meanings formed through students' social experiences. The lack of a literacy culture in the family and school environment results in reading not being perceived as an important or enjoyable activity. Furthermore, the dominant use of gadgets for entertainment creates habits that reduce students' interest and concentration in reading texts. From Alfred Schutz's social phenomenology perspective, these conditions are related to students' lifeworlds and stock of knowledge, which shape their perspectives and actions toward reading. This study concludes that improving students' reading ability requires a comprehensive approach, taking into account experiences, social interactions, and the formation of meaning in reading in students' daily lives.

Adolescents are an age group that is vulnerable to reproductive health problems, including the risk of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and risky sexual behaviors, due to limited knowledge and psychosocial maturity. Schools have a strategic role in providing reproductive health education as a promotive and preventive effort. This counseling activity aimed to determine adolescents’ knowledge regarding the prevention of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) among students at Parulian 3 School, Medan.This study employed a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The participants were all seventh-grade students who met the inclusion criteria. The intervention consisted of reproductive health education delivered through lectures, discussions, and visual media. Data were collected using questionnaires measuring knowledge and attitudes before and after the counseling session, and then analyzed descriptively by comparing pretest and posttest results. The results showed an increase in students’ knowledge and attitudes after receiving reproductive health education. The differences in scores before and after the intervention indicate that the counseling provided was effective in improving students’ understanding and fostering positive attitudes toward the prevention of STIs and risky sexual behaviors. Reproductive health education in the school setting is an effective effort to enhance adolescents’ knowledge and attitudes regarding reproductive health. Therefore, reproductive health education activities should be implemented continuously and integrated into school programs.

Overall, this outreach program effectively fostered entrepreneurial spirit, motivation, and readiness among students at SMK Ganesha Tama Boyolali to pursue independent business opportunities after graduation.

This community service programme was implemented in the coastal community of Padelegan Village, Pademawu Subdistrict, Pamekasan Regency, with a focus on strengthening health literacy and behaviour-based disease prevention at the household level. The background of the activity is based on the vulnerability of coastal communities to health problems related to hygiene, household drinking water management, and environmental cleanliness, as well as the need for an approach that not only increases knowledge but also encourages consistent preventive practices. The programme aims to improve residents' ability to understand and use health information in an applicable manner, while strengthening key disease prevention behaviours through education and mentoring. The activity will be carried out from February to April 2025 with a behaviour-based education design combined with practice demonstrations and community mentoring, involving 48 participants (40 residents/households and 8 posyandu/PKK cadres). The stages included initial assessment, development of KIE media (brief modules and leaflets/posters), two education-demonstration sessions, two home mentoring sessions, and final evaluation. The evaluation was conducted using pre-post knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) assessments and practice observation through a checklist. The results showed an increase in health literacy and improved consistency in preventive behaviour; knowledge increased from 5.4 to 7.8, and compliance with hand washing at critical times increased from 41.7% to 72.9%. Programme outputs included an information, education and communication (IEC) package, a household monitoring checklist, and capacity building for cadres as local facilitators. It was concluded that the integration of participatory education, practical demonstrations and cadre mentoring has the potential to be effective in encouraging preventive behavioural change in coastal communities, with recommendations for integrating monitoring into the routine agenda of integrated health service posts (posyandu) and community empowerment groups (PKK) and for follow-up monitoring for 3–6 months to maintain the sustainability of practices.

This study identified the use of abbreviations in Medical Treatment Consent Forms (SPTK) at X Hospital Indonesia. A quantitative cross-sectional descriptive approach was applied to 76 SPTKs in September 2024, and questionnaires were administered to 30 patient-responsible physicians (DPJP). The results showed that 75% of SPTKs contained abbreviations, even though 97% of respondents understood the risk of miscommunication to patient safety. The state of the art includes accreditation standards that prohibit the use of abbreviations in informed consent, with global orthopedic studies reporting a decrease from 54% to 22% after educational interventions, as well as Indonesian regulations, namely Peraturan Mentri Kesehatan (Permenkes) Republik Indonesia No. 24/2022, which emphasizes that medical records must be complete. The novelty lies in the first empirical analysis in Indonesian hospitals to reveal the disparity between high physician knowledge and low documentation compliance, contributing to the development of evidence-based monitoring for patient safety. These findings support recommendations for daily review of SPTK, ongoing socialization, and integration of digital checklists to reduce medical errors.

Limited legal literacy among village officials may contribute to disorderly village administration, inconsistent document formats, weak record-keeping, and poor archive traceability, ultimately affecting public service quality. This Community Service Program (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat/PKM) aimed to strengthen the legal literacy of village officials in Larangan Luar Village, Pamekasan Regency, to improve orderly and accountable village administrative governance. The program applied a hands-on training model combined with mentoring/document clinics and a pretest–posttest evaluation involving village officials (n = 18). Implementation consisted of three core training sessions and two mentoring sessions over four weeks, focusing on document legality, official correspondence standards, numbering and registers, and basic archive management. Results showed an increase in the average legal literacy score from 54.1 (pretest) to 74.6 (posttest), an improvement of 20.5 points. Beyond knowledge gains, document quality and administrative order improved through the adoption of practical administrative tools developed during the program. Key outputs included a concise module (±22 pages), 10 village administrative document templates, one village administrative SOP, and a simple filing system based on document classification and folder numbering. In conclusion, strengthening village officials’ legal literacy through practice-based training and mentoring effectively supports improvements in village administrative governance and is potentially replicable in other villages in Pamekasan with context-specific adjustments.
