Aglaonema plants (Aglaonema spp.) are popular ornamental plants that are famous for the beauty and diversity of their leaves. However, pest attacks can disrupt the growth and beauty of this plant. An alternative to controlling pests is to use vegetable pesticides. This research aims to test the effectiveness of organic pesticides derived from bintaro fruit extract and the effect of using banana peels as a leaf polish on Aglaonema plants. Bintaro is a potential source of botanical pesticides because it contains compounds that inhibit insect feeding. On the other hand, banana peels, which are often overlooked, actually have the ability to naturally enrich the leaves because of their nutritional content. This research used a randomized block design (RAK) with six different treatments, including a control without treatment and chemical pesticide treatment as a comparison. The results of the study showed that bintaro fruit extract had no real effect on aglaonema pest attacks, P4 treatment had a real effect, with the highest number of respondents, but P3 treatment tended to give a duller leaf shine. These results show that the use of the botanical pesticide Bintaro fruit extract did not have a significant effect in killing Aglonema pests, but P2 and P3 treatments had a better effect than other treatments in dealing with pests and P4 treatment was the best in shining Aglonema leaves.

Stunting is a condition that threatens the health of children as the nation's next generation. The prevalence of stunting in Penfui Subdistrict is high enough that it requires intervention through the OTA2S program using the method of Providing Supplementary Food (PMT) for 90 days to 21 stunted children but 10 people took part in the examination, parameters total protein and albumin as nutritional parameters can provide information regarding the nutritional status of stunted children. The results of total protein examination before and after PMT for all children were normal, however the albumin levels in all children before PMT were low, but after PMT 7 children were normal while 3 children were still low. Based on these findings, PMT is a good method to apply to reduce stunting rates.  

Extensive research has been conducted to investigate the formulation of a new generation of cereal-based Gluten Free (GF) foods formulated with High-Resistant Starch (RS) sources and high in nutritional value. Black glutinous rice flour is a rich in bioactive compound and MOCAF is known for its high RS content often used as an alternative to wheat flour in the production of gluten-free cookies. The formulation of the combination of these two ingredients needs to be investigated to produce gluten free cookies that have good physical and sensory characteristics. The aims of these research was to investigate the effect of different ratio of Black Glutinous Rice Flour (BGRF) and MOCAF (MF) formulation (F1 = 100:0, F2= 75:25, F3=50:50, F4= 25:75, F5= 0:100) on physical and sensory parameter of resultant GF cookies. The results shows that, cookies with high amount of BGRF showed interesting physical properties with higher diameter, spread ratio, and ∆E of the cookies, lower weight, thickness, baking loss, L*, a*, b*, C* value, and the hedonic score of color, aroma, taste, texture, overall compared to cookies with 100% MF. The best formula that produces gluten free cookies with the highest taste score score is F4 (BGRF 25%:MF 75%) with physical characteristics weight 10.70 g, diameter 48.40 mm, thickness 8.60 mm, spread ratio 5.63, baking loss 17.37 %, L* 53.96, a* 0.63, b* 17.65, C* 17.66,   ∆E 48.78. With the combination of BGRF and MF on cookies dough, we manage to obtain cookies that has great potential to increase the nutritional quality of gluten-free food.

Community Service (PKM) which is located in Lembang Tondon Langi', Tondon District, North Toraja Regency is one of the places where we served for approximately one and a half months. In the work program that we are implementing, the focus is more on preventing stunting that occurs in Lembang Tondon Langi'. Where this work program is one of the themes that has been determined by the campus, namely "Stunting Prevention". This work program aims to help stunting cadres and the community, especially mothers, in providing adequate nutrition for their children. The specific target of this program is to improve nutritional intake which is still not good in Lembang Tondon Langi'. This program also aims to reduce the potential for stunting in Lembang Tondon Langi', Tondon District, North Toraja Regency. However, there is a problem encountered in Lembang Tondon Langi', Tondon District, North Toraja Regency, namely that there is no awareness among some communities about the importance of adequate nutritional intake for their children. The initial step taken in this activity is to design and organize activities related to stunting as well as carry out outreach to school children and the community.

Banana is one of the potential tropical fruit commodities in Indonesia, including in Brebes Regency, Central Java Province. So far, people have only used the banana fruit and heart as food processing materials, while banana peels have only been processed product waste. Even though the banana peel contains 18.5% carbohydrates, 68.90% water, some vitamin C, various B-complex vitamins, including B6, fat, lutein, anti-oxidants, calcium, vegetable oil, fiber, serotonin and sufficient protein. With a simple food processing technology, these banana peels can be processed into banana peel chips with sweet, savory and spicy flavors which can be family meals or snacks that have nutritional value and can automatically reduce organic waste and generate income. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the addition of whiting on the organoleptic characteristics of banana peel chips. This research was conducted using a quantitative experimental method using a completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors, namely the addition of whiting and soaking time. Parameters measured were acceptability or organoleptic texture, color, aroma and taste.

Stunting is a chronic nutritional condition caused by long-term malnutrition resulting in impaired growth and development in children. Toddlers are very susceptible to disease and nutritional disorders that can cause delays in growth and development. Stunted children have a higher risk of developing degenerative diseases and death. This community service was carried out in Gunung Kesiangan Village, Benai District, Kuantan Singingi Regency. The purpose of this community service activity is to 1) inform and educate the public about malnutrition and stunting in children, 2) increase public knowledge and understanding of stunting prevention, 3) increase awareness of mothers about child development from an early age. The benefit of this community service is changing people's behavior so they better understand what stunting is, its causes, and efforts to prevent it from an early age, even during pregnancy. The targets of this activity are pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and children aged 0-2 years. The method used in community service activities is to distribute brochures about stunting to posyandu.

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem found in toddlers, which is characterized by height that is not the same (short) as children of the same age. Therefore, Riau University KKN students aim to help and reduce or prevent stunting which can affect the process of growth and development of children, especially in Sungai Batang Village, Bengkalis District, Bengkalis Regency. The method of implementing activities carried out during KKN in Sungai Batang Village is as follows. 1. Initial Planning Stage, holding a meeting with the head of the posyandu to request data on how many children are affected by stunting 2. Preparation Stage, namely preparation for socialization such as cleaning the place for the event and preparing the tools and materials used such as installing banners, snacks, tables, chairs, soundsystem, and others. 3. Implementation Stage, on July 25, 2023 carrying out stunting socialization the event began with the delivery of material about stunting provided by KKN students, followed by material provided by midwives. This socialization activity was carried out at the same time to establish a relationship with the village community, especially in Sungai Batang Village. The activity continued with health checks by the posyandu which is specifically for the elderly. The distribution of additional food is also a series of activities carried out by KKN students in the Stunting Prevention Socialization Program carried out by Riau University KKN students directly.

(3) Comparing the effectiveness of tea waste compost fertilizer in cultivating water spinach and packcoy varies depending on various factors, including the composition of tea waste, growing conditions, and plant nutritional needs.

Stunting is a condition where a child's height is lower than the height according to his age, which is caused by long-term malnutrition in the first 1,000 days of life (HPK). Apart from nutritional factors, stunting is also caused by a lack of understanding among the public, especially mothers with young children, regarding the problem of stunting. The aim of this community empowerment is to prevent stunting through community participation in monthly village activities by holding posyandu for toddlers and children of pregnant women in Kota Baru village. The method of implementing the activity is community participation in posyandu activities providing vitamin A. The conclusion of this research is that the stunting prevention movement through posyandu activities by providing vitamin A to children under five and providing complementary breast milk food to pregnant women can improve the community. awareness of the importance of nutritious food for children to prevent stunting. Regarding government programs related to stunting, Kukerta University students in Riau are collaborating with the Kota Baru Village Government to continue government programs by implementing monthly programs in the form of posyandu operations as a form of the government's efforts to prevent stunting. . The results of the implementation of posyandu activities carried out by Kukerta Riau University students were two activities, posyandu for toddlers and posyandu for pregnant women. Activities carried out include providing additional food for pregnant women and vitamin A supplements for toddlers.  

In an effort to bolster food safety awareness, the Community Service Team from the Department of Medical Laboratory Technology at Poltekkes Kemenkes Kupang launched an initiative. Its goal was to educate students about the dangers associated with Food Additives, or Bahan Tambahan Pangan (BTP), per the Indonesian Ministry of Health Regulation No. 33 of 2012. BTP encompasses substances not typically found in everyday food and may or may not provide nutritional value, intentionally added to various food products. The initiative's primary focus was on two hazardous additives: borax and formalin. Students were taught simple, effective methods for detecting these substances using natural ingredients like turmeric and papaya latex. This community outreach occurred in the village of Bone, Nekamese Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, and featured lectures, interactive sessions, and hands-on demonstrations. The results were promising, as participants gained a deeper understanding of the hazards associated with these additives and acquired skills to identify them. This initiative empowers a safer, more informed generation of consumers, championing food safety.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease that is ranked 10th with the highest number of deaths. Side effects caused by Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs (OAT) are often experienced by TB patients and result in physical disorders that reduce the quality of life of TB patients. This study aims to analyze the relationship between OAT side effects and the quality of life of TB patients at the Banyuglugur Community Health Center The research design in the study used a cross sectional approach. The population of this study was all TB patients in the Banyuglugur health center working area who underwent treatment for <6 months according to the inclusion criteria in January 2022 - May 2023, totaling 40 people using the Total Sampling sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire on OAT side effects and quality of life. The analytical test used was the Spearman Rank test. The results of this study showed that the side effects of OAT in 27 TB patients (67.5%) were severe and the quality of life of 31 TB patients (77.5%) was poor. The results of the analysis show a p value of .001 (smaller than 0.05), so there is a significant linear relationship between the OAT side effect variable and the quality of life of TB patients at the Banyuglugur Community Health Center. This research shows that the side effects experienced by TB sufferers, both mild and severe, greatly affect the quality of life of TB patients. Health workers must always carry out routine monitoring of OAT side effects experienced by TB sufferers and treat them as soon as possible so that they do not affect the quality of life of TB patients in terms of physical, nutritional or psychological aspects in order to prevent them from dropping out of treatment.

East Nusa Tenggara (ENT) is a province in Indonesia with diverse flora, including the diversity of local legumes. It has been extensively explored and reported in various scientific publications, especially the types of legumes, their nutritional composition, and their uses in local communities. However, few literature studies still comprehensively review the types of legumes, their nutritional composition, and their utilization in the local community of ENT. So, this literature review aims to briefly review the diversity, chemical composition, and use of local legumes from the dry lands of ENT. Various studies reported that Glycine max, Arachis hypogaea, Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek, Cajanus cajan, Vigna unguiculata, Phaseolus lunatus, Vigna umbellata, Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet, Mucuna pruriens (L.) DC, Phaseolus vulgaris L, Psopocarpus tetragonolobus (L.) DC, and Pueraria montana var. lobata (Willd.) Sanjappa & Pradeep nuts are commonly found in the ENT region, either cultivated by the local community or grown wild. Generally, local legumes in ENT have a relatively complete nutritional composition, which varies depending on the type of bean. The ENT's local people use local beans as a mixture of rice/corn and function as sources of protein. Future research is needed to explore the functional characteristics of each ENT local bean. In addition, it is necessary to develop formulations and other food products to utilize ENT's local legumes to diversify legume-based local food.

This research focuses on developing high protein fish feed derived from golden snails with the addition of a mixture of fish pellets. The aim of this research is to produce high quality fish feed from available local resources and apply it in the Community Service Program (KKN) in village communities. Experimental methods were used to develop a feed formula with the right ratio of golden snails and fish pellets. The feed developed has a high protein content and a balanced nutritional composition. Furthermore, the KKN program was implemented in the village by involving students as facilitators in the socialization and application of high protein fish food to the community. The results show positive adoption of the feed by village communities and increased productivity of fish farming. This program provides dual benefits, namely increasing village community income through more efficient fish farming and supporting sustainable use of local resources.

Purple yam (Dioscorea alata L.) is a local food with many sources of antioxidants, so it becomes a staple food for the community. The addition of purple yam flour to the production of cendol is expected to help increase the selling value of cendol and also purple yam. This research aims to produce cendol with the addition of purple yam flour which has antioxidant activity and liked by the panelists. A completely randomized factorial design was used in this study using 2 factors, namely the treatment of variations in the length of cooking time and variations in the concentration of purple yam flour added, so that 9 treatment combinations were obtained, namely the addition of 10%, 20% and 30% purple yam flour with a cooking time of 10, 15 and 20 minutes. The results showed that there was an effect of cooking time and the addition of purple yam flour concentration had an effect on the chemical properties and preferences of cendol.The best cendol formulation was the addition of 30% purple yam flour and 20 minutes of cooking time. The selected purple yam cendol has nutritional value: ash content 0.082%, antioxidant content 15.55% RSA, phenol content 8.33 mg GAE/g db body and anthocyanin content 15.86 mg/100 g db. Cendol substituted for purple yam flour can ward off free radicals because it has a purple pigment derived from anthocyanin, an antioxidant.

Tanara Village as a Coastal Village has a potential source of food that comes from the sea, but the people around Tanara Village are still very low in consuming sea fish directly, therefore a way is needed so that the nutritional intake / nutrition consumed is able to meet the needs of the community's body. In supporting and encouraging nutritional intake, business actors have an important role to play in creating processed fish products made from marine fish with the aim of increasing appetite because they are stimulated by the results of the product variants created. Business actors must have the courage to innovate their product variants. The Lecturer Team and the KKM Group help provide solutions through assistance in terms of strategies to create innovative variants of processed seafood products for business people. This step is carried out through mentoring and training in creating flavor variants, product packaging and marketing. Another thing is that it is hoped that after the service assistance for business actors they can be more prosperous in the economic field.
