The increasing snack consumption trend in Indonesia, along with the availability of processed snacks that are high in sugar, fat, and sodium but low in fiber, poses a significant challenge to digestive health. More than 40% of the global population experiences digestive disorders, often related to unhealthy eating patterns and low fiber intake. In response to this issue, an innovative healthy snack called TaroStik, made from taro vines (Colocasia esculenta) rich in fiber and nutrients, has been developed. This product comes in two forms, sticks and chips, with three flavor variants (salty, sweet, and spicy), offering a healthy snacking experience without sacrificing taste. Training on utilizing taro vines to create TaroStik was conducted in Banjarbaru, involving prospective entrepreneurs with a combined approach of theory, hands-on practice, and group discussions. Participants were trained from material selection, processing (peeling, soaking, steaming, frying), packaging, to social media marketing simulation. As a result, most participants were able to independently produce TaroStik, with some expressing intentions to continue production at a home scale. TaroStik not only provides a digestive health solution through natural snacks free of preservatives but also brings positive impacts in three areas: economy (creating business opportunities based on local ingredients), environment (reducing agricultural waste), and nutrition (increasing healthy food consumption). This innovation embodies the principles of green economy and sustainable entrepreneurship, opening new business opportunities and improving community welfare.

 Digital transformation in public service is an inevitable necessity in the era of modern governance. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of the Smart Civil Registration System (Smart System Dukcapil) in digital administrative services in Palangka Raya City as part of the national e-government initiative and the strengthening of electronic-based governance. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method, collecting data through in-depth interviews, direct observations, and document analysis of relevant regulations and the implementation of the system within the Department of Population and Civil Registration (Disdukcapil) of Palangka Raya City.The findings indicate that the implementation of the Smart System Dukcapil through applications such as the Sistem Informasi Dukcapil Oloh Itah (SI-DOI) and Digital Population Identity (IKD) has significantly improved efficiency, transparency, and data accuracy in population administration services. These digital innovations have streamlined bureaucratic processes, minimized physical interaction, and enhanced public satisfaction with administrative services. However, the system’s effectiveness is still constrained by challenges such as limited internet infrastructure in peripheral areas, low digital literacy among citizens, and inadequate technical capacity among civil servants in operating digital systems optimally. Theoretically, the implementation of the Smart System Dukcapil reflects the realization of good governance and smart governance principles through the integration of technology, bureaucratic reform, and community participation. This study recommends strengthening human resource capacity, expanding digital infrastructure, and promoting continuous public education to ensure system sustainability. Consequently, digital population administration in Palangka Raya has the potential to become an innovative, inclusive, and adaptive model for regional public service governance.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia often face challenges in protecting their Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), particularly due to limited understanding of trademark, copyright, and product design registration. This lack of legal awareness reduces competitiveness and increases the risk of ownership disputes. This Community Service Program aimed to enhance the legal knowledge and awareness of MSMEs regarding IPR through an interactive counseling activity in Bacang Subdistrict, Pangkal Pinang City. The method included material presentation, interactive discussions, IPR registration simulations, and evaluation using pre-test and post-test. The activity was attended by 25 participants from various business sectors. The results showed a significant improvement in participants’ understanding, as evidenced by the average pre-test score of 43.08 increasing to 77.08 in the post-test, representing a 79% improvement. Beyond knowledge enhancement, participants also demonstrated a shift in mindset, with the majority expressing a commitment to initiate IPR registration steps. These findings confirm that practice-based counseling combined with interactive discussions is effective in increasing MSME legal awareness and supporting the protection of intellectual assets through IPR mechanisms

This study delves into the linguistic and ideological dimensions of cyberbullying discourse directed at TikTok creator Putri Padang within the framework of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). In Indonesia’s digital landscape, TikTok has become one of the prominent platform for self-expression and cultural performance, yet it also serves as a site for public shaming and moral policing. Drawing on Fairclough’s (1995) three-dimensional model, this qualitative research analyzes fifty hate comments collected from several TikTok videos featuring Putri Padang to uncover how language reproduces power relations and cultural ideologies. The findings reveal that hate comments are not random acts of aggression but structured discursive practices characterized by repetition, labeling, and moral judgment. Linguistic strategies such as mockery, objectification, and intertextual humor—exemplified by terms like “muka kotak” and “Adudu”—function as mechanisms of symbolic domination, reinforcing gendered and regional hierarchies. Moreover, the comments often invoke patriarchal values and cultural authenticity to moral criticism, positioning the target as a violator of feminine and cultural norms. The research contributes to cyber-discourse studies by extending into multimodal contexts and emphasizing the need for culturally grounded approaches to online gender-based violence.

This community service activity was conducted in a Christian ministry institution located in Makassar City, South Sulawesi. The Student Creativity Program (PKM) was motivated by the reality that many people in Makassar have not yet known or believed in Isa Al-Masih (Jesus Christ )as Lord and Savior. As a city with a predominantly non-Christian population, evangelism in Makassar needs to be carried out contextually, wisely, and lovingly, without offending the beliefs of the surrounding community. The “PI 3 Saja” method (an acronym for Evangelism anytime, anywhere, and to anyone) serves as a relevant and effective strategy for reaching out to society. Through the 5P approach (Pertalian—Relationship, Peralihan—Transition, Penginsafan—Conviction, Pengabaran—Proclamation, and Penyelesaian—Commitment), this method emphasizes the importance of friendship, empathy, and naturally sharing the Gospel in everyday conversations. The purpose of this activity was to train participants in the institution to become contextual evangelists who can share the Good News without coercion, but rather through exemplary living and genuine friendship with others. The training and field practice results showed positive responses from the community, the formation of small discipleship groups (house churches), and an increased sense of courage and sensitivity among participants in sharing the Gospel in non-Christian environments. This activity demonstrates that evangelism can remain relevant and effective when it prioritizes love, relationships, and sensitivity to local culture.

The employee leave application information system is a digital solution designed to simplify the process of submitting, approving, and managing leave within an institution. This internship project resulted in the development of a system called SiCuti, which was built using the Laravel framework with a MySQL database. The system provides two main roles: employees and administrators/supervisors. Employees can apply for leave according to their entitlements, such as annual leave with a maximum of 12 working days, maternity leave for 3 months, pilgrimage leave (Hajj) which can be taken once during their service period, as well as special leave for important reasons such as marriage or the death of an immediate family member, typically lasting 1–3 days. When applying, employees may also upload supporting documents and monitor the status of their applications through the leave status menu.Administrators or supervisors have broader authority, including reviewing the list of leave requests, approving or rejecting applications, and managing employee leave quotas to ensure compliance with regulations. In addition, administrators can track the complete leave history of employees through an integrated dashboard. This feature supports faster, more transparent, and accountable decision-making processes.The results of local testing indicate that SiCuti has the potential to increase efficiency in administrative leave processes that were previously carried out manually, making them faster, more transparent, and more structured. The interactive dashboard design also facilitates monitoring from both employees and administrators. With the implementation of SiCuti, it is expected that the leave management process can reduce the risk of human error, ensure data accuracy, and support transparency and accountability in human resource management once the system is fully deployed within the institution.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the integration of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system with feeder transportation in improving the connectivity and accessibility of public transportation in Medan City. The research methods used include field surveys, interviews, and spatial analysis based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to map the transportation network and assess the scope of services. The analysis was carried out by comparing the existing conditions of the BRT (Corridors 2 and 3) and the results of the simulation after the integration of five feeder routes (A2, A3, A6, A7, and A8). The results show that the integration of feeder routes is able to increase service coverage from 57.84 km² to 128.84 km² (an increase of 122.8%), as well as expand the served area from 23 to 44 zones, with an increase in service ratio from 26% to 57%. In addition, the average distance to the bus stop decreased from 1.2 km to 0.6 km, and the route overlap was reduced by 40%. Spatially, areas with high accessibility (<500 m from bus stops) have increased significantly in city centers such as Merdeka Square and Petisah Market. This study concludes that the integration of BRT and feeder is an effective strategy to realize a sustainable, efficient, and inclusive transportation system in the city of Medan. The implementation of a rotating operating system is also recommended to optimize the fleet without the need for the addition of new vehicles.

This study aims to analyze the impact of facilities, security, and services of the Syahbandar office on the satisfaction of fishermen at the Pantai Fishing Port (PPP) Tegalsari, Tegal City. The research method used is a quantitative approach with an associative model, where data is collected through a questionnaire distributed to 100 fishermen operating at PPP Tegalsari. Data analysis is performed using SPSS version 26 with validity and reliability tests, multiple linear regression, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination (R²). The results show that, simultaneously, the variables of facilities, security, and services have a positive and significant impact on fishermen’s satisfaction. Partially, the service variable has the most dominant influence on fishermen’s satisfaction compared to the facilities and security variables. This indicates that improving the quality of services at the Syahbandar office, providing adequate port facilities, and ensuring security at the port are key factors in creating fishermen’s satisfaction. This study is expected to provide input for port managers to enhance public service quality in the fisheries sector and promote policies that better address the needs and comfort of fishermen in their activities at the port.

This study analyzes the influence of Service Quality, Facilities, Supervision, and Effectiveness on Parking Levies (Retribusi Parkir) in Blitar City. Motivated by the Blitar City Transportation Agency's failure to meet its 2022 Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD) target from parking levies, this quantitative study employs Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) on a sample of 100 parking service users. Classical assumption tests confirm the regression model is normally distributed and free from multicollinearity and heteroscedasticity issues. Partially, all independent variables Service Quality (\beta=0.38), Facilities (\beta=0.200), Supervision (\beta=0.331), and Effectiveness (\beta=0.329) were found to have a positive and significant effect on Parking Levies. The Adjusted R Square value of 86.8% indicates a high predictive power of the model. Crucially, the findings highlight that Supervision and Effectiveness factors, reflecting internal governance and regulatory enforcement, are the primary determinants of successful parking levy collection, surpassing the influence of direct Facilities and Service Quality. The implications suggest a need for governance reform focusing on strict supervision and digitalization to mitigate revenue leakage.

Pneumonia is one of the leading causes of mortality in children under five, especially those living in households with active smokers. This study aims to determine the risk of pneumonia in toddlers from smoking families in the working area of Meuraxa Public Health Center, Banda Aceh City. The research used a case-control design with 33 respondents, consisting of 11 cases (toddlers with pneumonia) and 22 controls (toddlers without pneumonia). Data collection was conducted through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the chi-square test. The findings revealed that the prevalence of pneumonia among toddlers from smoking households was 33.3%. There were significant associations between pneumonia incidence and several factors, including nutritional status (p = 0.024), immunization status (p = 0.034), exclusive breastfeeding (p = 0.027), parental smoking behavior inside the house (p = 0.009), and household ventilation (p = 0.017). Toddlers who were not exclusively breastfed, had poor nutritional status, incomplete immunization, poor air ventilation, and exposure to cigarette smoke at home were at higher risk of developing pneumonia. This study emphasizes the vital role of the family in creating a healthy, smoke-free home environment that supports children's well-being. Community-based interventions and educational programs are essential to prevent pneumonia and improve the quality of life of children, particularly in urban public health areas like Meuraxa.

Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN) digadang-gadang sebagai mahakarya pembangunan yang akan membawa Indonesia menuju era baru. Namun, proyek ambisius ini menuai kontroversi terkait transparansi, efektivitas, ketumpang tindihan kebijakan dan kemungkinan penyimpangan, termasuk dugaan praktik penyelewengan kekuasaan dalam pengadaan lahan dan pengelolaan anggaran. Artikel ini membahas apakah pembangunan IKN merupakan langkah maju atau justru membuka celah bagi para oknum di negeri ini untuk melancarkan niat buruk. Fokus utama kajian ini adalah peran hukum agraria dalam menjamin keadilan dan kepastian hukum dalam proses alih fungsi lahan serta perlindungan terhadap hak masyarakat adat dan pemilik tanah. Melalui analisis yuridis dan studi kasus, artikel ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana hukum agraria dapat berfungsi sebagai instrumen kontrol dalam proyek IKN serta tantangan yang dihadapi dalam implementasinya. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa tanpa pengawasan ketat dan kebijakan yang berpihak pada kepentingan publik, pembangunan IKN berpotensi menjadi ladang eksploitasi kepentingan yang merugikan masyarakat luas. 

The prevalence of hypertension in the elderly continues to increase and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Uncontrolled blood pressure can lead to serious complications such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. Anxiety, which is often experienced by the elderly, also plays a role in worsening hypertension through activation of the sympathetic nervous system and increased stress hormones. This study aims to determine the relationship between anxiety levels and the incidence of hypertension in the elderly at the Kuta Alam Community Health Center in Banda Aceh City. The study used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional analytical design. The study population consisted of 145 elderly people with hypertension, with a sample of 59 people selected through a purposive sampling technique. The study was conducted from April 28 to May 8, 2025. Anxiety levels were measured using the Geriatric Anxiety Inventory (GAI) questionnaire, and blood pressure was measured using a digital sphygmomanometer. Data analysis was carried out univariately and bivariately using the Chi-square test. The results showed that the majority of respondents experienced panic anxiety (39.0%) and Grade III hypertension (44.1%). There was a significant relationship between anxiety levels and the incidence of hypertension in the elderly (ρ = 0.000; ρ < 0.05). In conclusion, anxiety influences the severity of hypertension, so psychological aspects need to be considered in elderly health services at the Kuta Alam Community Health Center.
