The purpose of this article is to explain the values ​​of Islamic religious education contained in the Ari Ana Mahun tradition in the people of Negeri Kilkoda, Gorom Island District, East Seram Regency. A unique tradition called Ari Ana Mahun or children's maulid is found in Negeri Kilkoda, Gorom Islands, East Seram Regency. Different from the usual commemoration of the Prophet Muhammad's birthday, this tradition is carried out 15 days before the month of Ramadan as a form of respect for children or family members who have died. The community believes that prayers and prepared food will make the spirits happy, as well as being a medium for maintaining Islamic cultural heritage. This tradition is carried out once a year and is passed down from generation to generation. In addition to being a form of respect, Ari Ana Mahun is a means of education for the community to preserve Islamic traditions and strengthen religious values. These values ​​are instilled from generation to generation so that the community maintains their cultural and spiritual identity. This paper aims to describe the values ​​of Islamic education contained in it. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of collection, reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results indicate that this tradition involves determining the date, preparing traditional food, visiting graves, decorating the containers, reciting prayers together, giving alms to children, and planting a raung (a symbol of Islam) at the graves. The Islamic educational values ​​contained include monotheism, worship, morals, silaturahmi (silaturahmi), instilling religious values ​​from an early age, and preserving Islamic culture.

Coastal areas are vital for ecosystems, social, and economic systems, yet they face challenges like erosion, land-use conversion, and weak community-based management. Serdang Bedagai Regency, located in North Sumatra, has significant ecological and socio-cultural potential, but this potential has not been sustainably managed. This study analyzes strategies for sustainable coastal land management by integrating local wisdom and village government roles. A mixed-method approach was used, including in-depth interviews, field observations, and surveys with 30 respondents from two coastal villages. The qualitative findings reveal that traditional practices, such as prohibiting mangrove cutting and communal conservation traditions, are still alive in the community. The village government plays a crucial role in strengthening institutions through village regulations (Perdes), environmental programs, and spatial monitoring. However, there is a gap between community understanding of ecological values and the implementation of regulations. Quantitative analysis using multiple linear regression shows that both local wisdom and the village government's role significantly influence sustainable coastal land management, with coefficients of 0.491 and 0.426, respectively (p < 0.05). Despite some heteroskedasticity, the model passed tests for multicollinearity and normality. These findings highlight the importance of combining traditional values with institutional support to balance coastal resource utilization and conservation. This study contributes to the development of a socio-ecological coastal governance model and offers practical recommendations for village governments, policymakers, and academics in creating participatory and sustainable coastal preservation programs.

Traditional games are an important part of cultural heritage that carry educational values and can serve as an enjoyable and effective learning medium for children. Through the Community Service Program (KKN), university students organized traditional game competitions during the Independence Day celebration with village children. The activities aimed not only to provide entertainment but also to foster children’s learning motivation, enhance social interaction, and develop their personal character. This study employed observation, interviews, and documentation to collect accurate data. A total of 30 children were recorded as participants, although the actual number of participants in the competitions was higher. Ten children were purposively selected as interview respondents to gain deeper insights into their experiences. The results revealed that most children felt happy and enthusiastic while participating in the competitions. They also acquired important educational values such as teamwork, concentration, patience, perseverance, and enthusiasm for learning. Moreover, the majority of respondents stated that participating in the traditional games motivated them to be more engaged in school learning and encouraged them to study harder after the activities. Therefore, the revitalization of traditional games during the Independence Day celebration can serve as an effective alternative medium to enhance children’s learning motivation, strengthen social interaction, and preserve local cultural heritage. This study suggests that integrating cultural activities into educational practices can positively influence children’s attitudes toward learning while maintaining the community’s cultural identity.

The Community Service Program (KKN) of Universitas Sebelas Maret, Group 217, conducted in Tegalweru Village, Dau District, Malang Regency, was designed to strengthen local economic capacity through strategies of value-added product development and the consolidation of MSME identity based on village potential. The socio-cultural homogeneity of the community, which largely depends on traditional agriculture, creates a paradox between strong social solidarity and weak economic diversification. This condition poses challenges such as limited innovation, low competitiveness, and the underutilization of local resources, thereby necessitating empowerment interventions capable of transforming traditional economic practices into more adaptive and sustainable business models. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation to explore community responses to training on product value addition, packaging, branding, and basic promotional strategies. The findings reveal increased awareness and enthusiasm among MSME actors and housewives to develop local products through simple processing, representative packaging, and distinctive brand identity. These results underscore that KKN not only serves as an implementation of the Higher Education Tri Dharma but also as a strategic empowerment instrument to reinforce the foundation of community-based economic independence. Practically, the program provides a transformative platform for local enterprises, laying the groundwork for sustainable economic development aligned with both global dynamics and the specific needs of rural communities.

The Community Service Program (KKN) of Universitas Teuku Umar for the 2025/2026 academic year, conducted in Desa Pasi Janeng, Woyla Timur Subdistrict, West Aceh Regency, focuses on the innovative use of lime (Krut nipeh) as a raw material for the production of environmentally friendly dish soap. This local resource, which has traditionally been used for domestic purposes, has not been fully exploited as a source of economic value. The program follows the POAC methodology (Planning, Organizing, Actuating, Controlling), which encompasses community outreach, soap-making workshops, hands-on production practices, and sustainability evaluations. The outcomes of this initiative include the development of an eco-friendly dish soap product, enhanced technical skills among community members, and active participation from housewives and young mothers. In the medium term, the program has succeeded in raising entrepreneurial awareness within the community, with the expectation that it will foster the establishment of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) based on local resources, thus contributing to sustainable development. Furthermore, the program aligns with the achievement of several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goals 1 (No Poverty), 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), making a meaningful contribution to community service in accordance with the Tri Dharma of Higher Education.

This research examines the design of simultaneous elections in Indonesia as its main research object, a crucial discourse spurred by the persistent inefficiencies of a separated election model that produced divided governments. The discourse is marked by the shifting jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court (MK). The primary problem addressed is the Court’s jurisprudential inconsistency, which creates significant legal uncertainty for election organizers and political actors. Therefore, the objective of this research is to critically analyze the evolution of the Court's rulings on this matter and their impact on its shifting role into a positive legislator. This study employs a normative-juridical method, focusing on the doctrinal analysis of primary legal materials, particularly the series of relevant Constitutional Court rulings. The analysis reveals an inconsistent jurisprudential journey, starting from an activist stance that imposed a five-ballot simultaneous model through Ruling 14/PUU-XI/2013, with the aim of strengthening the presidential system. Then, in response to the systemic chaos and humanitarian costs of the 2019 election, the Court retreated to an "open legal policy" doctrine in Ruling 55/PUU-XVII/2019, exhibiting judicial self-restraint by deferring the choice of an alternative model to the legislature. Finally, it abandoned this position in a final interventionist decision, Decicion 135/PUU-XXII/2024, which stipulated a specific model separating national and regional elections. The main finding confirms that this latest ruling positions the MK as a positive legislator, significantly overstepping its traditional judicial authority. It is concluded that although the final ruling substantively produces a more rational election design, its inconsistent formation process has fundamentally undermined the principles of legal certainty and the balance of powers, thereby creating a problematic precedent for the future of Indonesia's constitutional governance.

This community service activity aims to introduce cupping therapy and increase public understanding of the basic principles, benefits, and safety aspects in practice. The activity will be carried out in August 2025 by directly involving the community through the method of health education lectures and case discussions in the field. The counseling material includes the history of cupping, medical indications, implementation procedures, and the importance of maintaining the cleanliness of the device and the therapeutic environment. People's motivations in choosing complementary therapy, especially cupping include affordable cost factors, therapist friendliness, family support, religious beliefs, and belief in the effectiveness of natural remedies. The results showed a significant increase in the knowledge and awareness of the community, especially students, regarding cupping therapy as part of a safe and beneficial complementary approach. The conclusion of this activity emphasizes that education about complementary therapies, especially cupping, can be an effective strategy in expanding public health insights and encouraging the wise and responsible use of traditional therapies.

Shadow puppet craft training is a strategic intervention in preserving cultural heritage and strengthening the creative economy sector in Indonesia. To ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of training, a planning approach is needed that is not only conventional, but also based on quantitative analysis and intelligent systems. This community service proposes a training planning strategy using an interdisciplinary approach involving Operation Research, Design of Experiment (DoE), Simulation, Metaheuristic Algorithms, and Data Mining. This study begins with the identification of key training variables, such as duration, number of participants, initial competency level, teaching materials, and instructor resources. Through the DoE approach, various combinations of variables are systematically tested to identify the optimal training design. Next, Simulation is used to model the dynamics of training implementation and evaluate implementation scenarios. To predict training needs and participant behavior, Data Mining techniques are applied to historical data of arts community training. In the final stage, Metaheuristic algorithms such as Genetic Algorithm and Simulated Annealing are used to solve complex and large-scale scheduling and resource allocation problems. The results of the integration of these approaches show an increase in training efficiency of up to 27% as well as increased participant satisfaction and the quality of work results. This activity demonstrates that applying a quantitative, data-driven approach to traditional crafts training planning can provide significant added value. This model can be replicated in other training programs based on local wisdom and other creative industry sectors.

The development of digital technology and the impact of the pandemic have shifted the learning paradigm in elementary schools from traditional face-to-face models to technology-based online systems. However, the limited mastery of teachers in utilizing digital learning media, particularly Google Classroom, has become a major obstacle in implementing effective online learning. This community service activity aims to improve the competence of teachers at SD Negeri Gollu Sapi in managing technology-based learning through the use of Google Classroom. The implementation method consists of four stages: preparation, workshop implementation, practice mentoring, and evaluation. The workshop was designed interactively by combining material presentation, demonstration, discussion, and hands-on practice, covering the creation of virtual classes, uploading teaching materials, assigning tasks, and conducting online assessments. The results of the activity showed a significant improvement in teachers’ skills, both in independently managing online classes and in applying the main functions of Google Classroom. Teachers were able to create digital teaching materials, set assignment schedules, provide feedback, and prepare technology-based assessments. In addition, this activity also produced an online article publication and video documentation as additional outputs. The teachers’ enthusiasm during the implementation indicates that this activity is useful and relevant to the needs of 21st-century learning. With this training, teachers are expected to become more adaptive to the digital transformation in education, thereby supporting the achievement of a more interactive, effective, and sustainable learning process in the digital era.

Dawet Ayu in Banjarnegara Regency is one of the traditional culinary micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) that until now is still able to survive and continue to grow. This typical beverage product not only has cultural value, but also has the potential to be a promising economic source for the local community. However, the reality on the ground shows that Dawet Jabung's business actors are still facing various serious obstacles. Limited understanding of business management, difficulties in calculating production costs in detail, and inability to determine the right selling price of products are the main obstacles. In addition, the low knowledge related to aspects of marketing, promotion, and business communication strategies makes it difficult for this business to expand the market. As a result, some business actors have actually experienced a significant decrease in sales from year to year. To answer these challenges, community service activities are carried out through two approaches, namely Action and Quality Awareness and Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA). Action and Quality Awareness are carried out through extensive counseling, lectures, and mentoring aimed at increasing the knowledge of business managers. In this activity, business actors are guided to understand the importance of financial recording, cost management, and strategies to improve product quality. Meanwhile, the RRA method is used to identify real needs in the field, as well as prepare training, mentoring, and coaching programs that are relevant to business conditions. The results of the activity showed an increase in the ability of partners to classify production costs into the categories of raw materials, labor, overhead, marketing, and transportation. In addition, business actors are now more skilled in determining selling prices based on the realization of costs incurred, not just estimates. They also began to compile simple bookkeeping related to assets, debts, and capital, so that business management became more professional, transparent, and sustainable

This research examines the aesthetic value of the selendang (sash or shawl) worn by the sindhen (female singer) in wayang kulit purwa (Javanese shadow puppet) performances, and the shift in its meaning amidst the current of digitalization. The selendang, as an element of attire, functions not only as an aesthetic complement but is also laden with philosophical and symbolic meaning in Javanese culture. Traditionally, the selendang worn by a sindhen possesses aesthetic value that emanates from the choice of motifs, colors, and the way it is worn, reflecting elegance, social status, and spiritual depth. In performances, the selendang also serves as a dance prop that enhances movement and strengthens the sindhen's expression. The era of digitalization brings new challenges and opportunities for traditional performing arts, including wayang kulit purwa. This study employs a qualitative approach with literature review and observation of both live and digitally broadcasted wayang kulit performances. The results indicate that in the current digital era, a shift has occurred in several aesthetic aspects of the sindhen's selendang. There is a trend towards using more diverse and modern materials and motifs, sometimes adapting techniques like digital printing to create more visually appealing on-screen presentations. Nevertheless, the core values of the selendang as a symbol of refined character and artistic beauty are maintained, and even further explored to cater to a broader and more modern audience. The digitalization of the performance stage also influences the sindhen's interaction, where the selendang is sometimes used more dynamically

The application of interactive media in classifying Indonesian poetry based on stylistic devices aims to enhance students' understanding in identifying and analyzing the stylistic elements used in poetry. Stylistic devices such as metaphors, personification, hyperbole, and similes play a significant role in enriching the meaning of poetry and deepening the reader’s interpretation. The use of interactive media offers a more dynamic and effective approach compared to traditional methods. Through digital platforms and interactive learning applications, students can become more engaged in an active and enjoyable learning process, making it easier for them to recognize and comprehend various stylistic devices in poetry. This media also supports diverse learning styles, such as visual, auditory, and kinesthetic, enabling students to learn according to their preferences. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of interactive media in teaching the classification of stylistic devices in poetry and how it can enrich the learning experience while improving students' analytical skills in literary works. It is hoped that the application of interactive media can create a more engaging learning environment, boost students' motivation, and deepen their understanding of Indonesian poetry.

In addition, educational and informative digital content has proven to be effective in increasing public health awareness and customer loyalty. However, challenges such as cross-channel information consistency and integrated technology management still need to be addressed. This study concludes that omnichannel strategy is a relevant and adaptive approach in dealing with the dynamics of the health beverage industry in the digital era. The implementation of this strategy not only supports operational efficiency, but also strengthens the relationship between the company and consumers through a personalized and sustainable experience. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for other companies in designing digital marketing strategies that are inclusive and responsive to changing consumer behavior.
