Conflict is a common dynamic within student groups, often arising from differences in background, perspectives, and communication styles. This study aims to analyze the role of communication in resolving group conflicts among students at the State Islamic University of North Sumatra. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, 36 active students with group work experience were selected as respondents through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed descriptively. The results indicate that comfort in expressing opinions (61.1%) and willingness to listen (72.2%) are key indicators of effective communication. Nevertheless, 69.4% of respondents reported experiencing conflicts, mostly due to misunderstandings and ineffective communication (77.8%). Open communication, group discussions, and the active role of group leaders were found to significantly facilitate conflict resolution. However, satisfaction with conflict resolution was relatively low, with only 55.6% expressing satisfaction, indicating a need to enhance interpersonal communication skills and leadership roles. This study recommends strengthening a culture of open, honest, and participatory communication as a key to fostering harmonious and productive student group dynamics.

This Community Service activity aims to increase the capacity of women farmer groups (KWT) in developing human resources (HR) in the agricultural sector. KWT plays a crucial role as agents of change in improving food security and family welfare. However, limited knowledge, managerial skills, and access to technology are often major obstacles. The research method used was a qualitative approach with a case study technique. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with KWT members. The results showed that capacity building can be achieved through several strategies, including: 1) Continuous training on innovative cultivation techniques, financial management, and agricultural product marketing; 2) Intensive mentoring by agricultural extension workers in implementing new practices; and 3) Facilitating access to resources such as capital, market information, and appropriate technology. This capacity building not only increases agricultural productivity but also strengthens women's economic independence, self-confidence, and strategic roles in decision-making at the community level. Thus, strengthening KWT in human resource development is an important investment to realize a more sustainable and gender-equitable agriculture. Furthermore, this community service activity highlights the importance of community participation in maintaining the program's sustainability. Active participation by KWT members in every stage of the program, from planning to evaluation, is crucial to ensuring that the program is tailored to local needs and conditions. Through collaboration between KWT, agricultural extension workers, and various other stakeholders, such as microfinance institutions and local governments, it is hoped that an ecosystem will be created that supports the growth and development of an inclusive and sustainable agricultural sector. This program is expected to have a long-term impact, not only on the welfare of KWT members but also on improving food security at the community level.

Post-harvest handling of fish requires an effective cold chain system, including the availability of ice factories, to preserve the quality and freshness of catches. The presence of an ice factory enables fishermen to bring ice during fishing trips, ensuring the catch remains safe for consumption. The planning of a portable mini ice factory in Ciwaru Village, located within the Ciletuh National Geopark, aims to maintain fish quality along the southern coast of West Java. Although several ice factories exist in Sukabumi Regency, their availability at fish landing sites such as the Ciwaru Fish Auction Place (TPI) remains insufficient. According to the Regulation of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries No. 2 of 2021, assistance for ice factory construction is provided to fishermen groups following a feasibility study submission. This community service project aims to assist fishermen cooperatives in improving cold chain management and preparing a feasibility study for ice factory development. Key issues identified include limited human resource competence, hygiene and sanitation challenges, feasibility study preparation, and internal communication enhancement within cooperatives. Solutions are implemented through training programs, cold chain method applications, feasibility analysis for mini ice factories, and the development of an information system for fishermen. The planned ice factory unit has a capacity of 1 ton per 8-hour cycle, supported by three freshwater wells near the site. Economic analysis reveals an NPV of Rp1,170,676,141, an IRR of 10.91%, and a Net B/C Ratio of 1.64, with a BEP at 311 tons/year, well below the installed capacity of 788 tons/year, confirming its economic viability. The resulting feasibility study will serve as the basis for applying for government assistance, complemented by scientific publications, national media coverage, video documentation, and intellectual property registration.

This research aims to see whether group guidance using problem solving techniques can improve students' learning skills at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) 3 Medan. This research uses quantitative methods with a quasi-experimental approach, non-equivalent control group design. In this design, both groups (experimental and control) underwent an initial test (pre-test) and a final test (post-test), but only the experimental group was given treatment, while the control group was not given treatment. The research population consisted of students in class X-1 (30 students) and X-2 (30 students). The sample was selected using a purposive sampling method, with a total of 16 students who had low learning skills, namely 8 students from the experimental group (class X-2) and 8 students from the control group (class X-1). The research instrument is a learning skills questionnaire with 26 statements whose validity and reliability have been tested. Data were analyzed using the T-test. The T-test results showed that the experimental group experienced an increase in learning skills, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. This means that problem solving techniques are effective in improving students' learning skills. In contrast, the control group did not show a significant increase in learning skills, with a significance value of 0.022 > 0.05. The results of the independent sample t-test show a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000 <0.05, which means there are differences in students' learning skills before and after being given services in the experimental group.
