This study aims to analyze the quality of administrative services at UPT Puskesmas Bumi Ayu, Dumai City, as part of primary public health service delivery. Service quality is an important indicator of institutional performance and community satisfaction. This research uses a qualitative approach with data collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. Informants consisted of the head of the health center and a service user selected purposively based on direct involvement in administrative services. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The assessment framework applies five service quality dimensions: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The findings indicate that administrative services generally perform well, particularly in staff responsiveness, procedural reliability, and empathetic interaction. However, several limitations remain, including limited inpatient room facilities and difficulties among elderly users in understanding the Mobile JKN online registration system. These results suggest that service improvement should focus on strengthening physical infrastructure and enhancing user support for digital service access to improve overall administrative service quality in primary healthcare institutions.

Intestinal diseases caused by transmission from worms as a source of helminthiasis generally occur in areas with subtropical and tropical climate conditions which have a wet climate and lack of awareness among the public regarding maintaining health and sanitation of the surrounding environment. Around 60 percent of Indonesians experience worm infections. The largest age group is 5-14 years old. The prevalence figure is 60 percent, 21 percent of which attack elementary school age children. This disease can be spread by eggs in human waste found in soil and water, therefore awareness of clean and sanitary living is very influential, the process or pattern of feces disposal is also very influential in the spread of this worm. The high rate of soil contamination by Ascaris, which reaches >70%, can also be caused by feces that are thrown anywhere, such as in bushes or around houses close to where you live.  Preventing recurrent infections is very important by practicing clean and healthy living habits such as avoiding contact with soil that may be contaminated with human feces, washing hands with soap and water before handling food, protecting food from soil and washing or heating food that falls on the floor. Several researchers have shown that school age is a group that is often affected by worm infections because they are often in contact with soil. Apart from the government, the role of teachers and parents is very important in providing understanding or knowledge about worms so that they are more disciplined. The aim of community service is to provide knowledge and understanding to class IV/A students at SD N Pannara regarding the dangers of worms and how to prevent them and administer worm medicine.    

The rapid spread of infectious diseases remains a major global health threat, and early detection is vital to minimize their impact. This research investigates the role of predictive modeling using big data in the early detection of infectious disease outbreaks. The primary objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of big data systems in forecasting potential outbreaks and the implications of these forecasts for public health systems. The study employs machine learning-based predictive models to process large health datasets, including electronic health records, sensor data, and social media information. The results demonstrate that the predictive model achieved an accuracy rate of 87%, significantly surpassing traditional methods in terms of early detection. By integrating various data sources such as medical records, sensor networks, and real-time digital traces, the system is capable of providing more accurate, timely predictions, which can greatly improve the ability of public health authorities to respond effectively to emerging health threats. Furthermore, the application of big data in public health not only improves the speed of response but also enhances the allocation of resources, allowing for more targeted and efficient interventions. Despite these successes, challenges remain, particularly in relation to data quality, privacy, and regulatory issues, which could hinder the broader implementation of such systems. Thus, collaboration between government agencies, healthcare institutions, and technology developers is essential to overcome these obstacles and ensure the sustainable integration of big data into public health infrastructures. This research highlights the significant potential of big data to transform public health responses, offering valuable insights for future epidemic management strategies.

The handling of plastic waste in Indonesia, especially in Central Java, poses a serious issue. Bank Sampah Banjarnegara (BSB) in Kasilib Village, Wanadadi, Banjarnegara, stands as a successful example in addressing this problem. The motivation from the increasing plastic waste prompted BSB to seek innovative solutions. Through the Fastpol 5.0 technology, BSB successfully converted plastic waste into high-efficiency fuel oil. Fastpol 5.0, a fifth-generation pyrolysis machine, can transform plastic waste through the fast pyrolysis and catalytic cracking processes. The machine excels in efficiency, the ability to produce various types of fuel, and plasma technology to clean combustion residues. This innovation is acknowledged through the nomination for the 2023 Innovative Government Award (IGA). BSB not only prioritizes economic aspects but also considers the environmental and public health impacts. Collaboration with waste collectors is a holistic approach to managing plastic waste. In addition to Fastpol 5.0, BSB has also developed a practical kerosene stove in the hope of providing economic and environmental solutions. The success of BSB demonstrates that technology-based solutions can be a positive step in handling plastic waste. It is recommended for these solutions to be adopted by other regions while increasing public awareness of waste separation. Environmental sustainability can be achieved through technological innovations that are not only effective but also have positive economic and social impacts.
