This study aims to describe the condition of clean water access and its impact on public health in Swadaya Village. The research employed a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with household heads, community leaders, health workers, and local water managers. The findings reveal that access to clean water in Swadaya Village remains very limited. Most residents rely on dug wells and river water for daily needs, while only a small portion use water from the local water utility (PDAM) due to high installation costs and limited pipeline coverage. The water quality often decreases during the dry season, becoming cloudy, odorous, and causing skin irritation. These conditions contribute to the increasing incidence of waterborne diseases such as skin infections, diarrhea, and typhoid fever. Besides infrastructure limitations, the lack of community awareness regarding hygiene and sanitation practices worsens the situation. Although the village government has proposed clean water development programs, their implementation has been hampered by budget constraints. The study concludes that clean water problems in Swadaya Village are not only related to resource availability but also to environmental management and community behavior. Therefore, improving water infrastructure must be accompanied by community education to promote a healthy, safe, and sustainable living environment.

The purpose of this study was to determine how puzzle games affect the problem-solving abilities of early childhood children. This study used quantitative methods and a quasi-experimental design. The study involved children aged 4 to 6 years from various early childhood education institutions (PAUD). Purposive sampling was used to collect samples. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests of problem-solving abilities and observations of children's behavior while playing puzzles. Logical thinking, creativity, concentration, focus, use of problem-solving strategies, and willingness to learn were all metrics used for assessment. To determine the differences in abilities before and after treatment, the collected data were analyzed statistically. The results of the study showed that puzzle game intervention improved children's problem-solving abilities. Children learned to identify problems, make plans for solutions, and work independently. In addition, it was proven that puzzle games as a learning medium were more effective with the help and guidance of teachers and parents. According to this study, puzzle games are an effective tool for developing the cognitive, social, and emotional abilities of early childhood.

In the learning process, educators often face challenges in helping students achieve optimal learning outcomes. One of the contributing factors is the dominance of teacher-centered learning models, which frequently leads to low student engagement and reduced motivation. This condition affects students’ curiosity, particularly in Science learning, which requires active participation and exploration. Therefore, innovative teaching materials are needed to encourage student involvement while simultaneously stimulating their curiosity. One alternative that can be utilized is the Student Worksheet (Lembar Kerja Peserta Didik/LKPD), which can be designed systematically and contextually to support active learning. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using LKPD in enhancing students’ curiosity in Grade VII Science learning at SMPN 1 Sanrobone. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach carried out in two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The findings indicate a significant increase in students’ curiosity after the implementation of LKPD, as shown by improvements in questioning behavior, interest in the material, and the ability to observe and explore scientific phenomena. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the use of LKPD is effective in fostering students’ curiosity and contributes to a more interactive and meaningful Science learning experience.

Outpatient services at community health centers experience a high and dynamic service burden influenced by evolving disease patterns in the community. However, the use of disease pattern data to support outpatient service management remains limited and is often restricted to administrative reporting purposes. This community service activity aimed to enhance the capacity of health workers and managers at Darussalam Community Health Center to utilize disease pattern data as a basis for managing outpatient service burden. A community-based participatory approach was applied through mentoring, training, and hands-on practice in data analysis using routine data from the Integrated Recording and Reporting System of Community Health Centers (SP2TP). The subjects of the activity were health workers and managerial staff at Darussalam Community Health Center. The results demonstrated an improvement in participants’ understanding and ability to analyze disease pattern data, reflected by an increase in average knowledge scores from a moderate to a high category. Behavioral changes were also observed, including increased data-based discussions, the emergence of internal change agents (local leaders), and the development of collective awareness regarding the importance of data-driven outpatient service management. This community service activity contributed to strengthening outpatient service management and fostering a data-driven work culture at Darussalam Community Health Center.

A market is a place where buying and selling transactions take place between sellers and buyers at a specific time and place. This definition encompasses several key elements: the presence of sellers, buyers, a specific place and time, and a transaction agreement. Such markets are also known as traditional markets. "Surprise" or "overflow" markets are markets that open suddenly and briefly. "Surprise" or "overflow" markets are increasingly common in various locations. There are many reasons why people enjoy shopping at these markets. One example is the very low prices, especially compared to shopping at supermarkets or malls. Over time, with the increasing demand for basic necessities, the "surprise" market, located along the road in the Vila Mutiara Cikarang housing complex, has also experienced gradual development. The number of traders and buyers has increased, the trading space has expanded, and transaction times have decreased. This "surprise" market is located along the road in the Vila Mutiara Cikarang housing complex, starting from the second block to the end of the road exiting the housing complex. The "surprise" market operates during peak hours, especially in the morning, when this time is not only for market activities but also for many activities such as going to work, school, and other activities.
