The UNS Community Service Program (KKN) Batch 68 was conducted from July to August 2025 in Jaten Village, Karanganyar Regency, Central Java. This program focused on educating the community about the utilization of organic waste, particularly dragon fruit (Hylocereus spp.) peel, which is generally underutilized. Dragon fruit peel has the potential to be developed into functional food products as it contains fiber, vitamins, and pectin. Through the “Dragon Fruit Peel Waste Management into Sauce” workshop, participants were provided with knowledge and skills to process organic waste into value-added products while supporting household food security. The implementation methods included counseling, demonstrations, and hands-on practice. The results showed an increase in community understanding of food waste management, improved skills in processing dragon fruit peel into sauce, and the establishment of communication networks among village cadres for program sustainability. This innovation also holds potential to be developed into micro-enterprises in the healthy food sector.

The placement of Civil Servants (ASN) in the Mentawai Islands Regency, West Sumatra Province, faces significant challenges, such as difficult transportation access, limited communication networks, and budget constraints for improving ASN competency. This study aims to analyze these challenges and their impact on public services in remote areas. The research method used is a literature review, gathering data from various related sources. The findings show that ASN in the Mentawai Islands often face long and costly journeys to attend training due to limited sea transportation. Inadequate communication networks hinder the ASN's duties and efforts to improve education quality. Budget limitations for training and competency development also pose challenges, negatively affecting discipline and the quality of public services. The remoteness of the area and its vulnerability to disasters are additional concerns for ASN, and the lack of infrastructure hampers their activities. Therefore, better management strategies for ASN in remote areas are needed to enhance the effectiveness of public services and support the development of policies that are more responsive to the needs of the local community.    

Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a multiplexing technique that enables the transmission of multiple signals over a single communication channel by allocating separate time slots for each signal stream. This study aims to analyze the working principles of TDM, examples of its implementation, as well as the benefits and drawbacks of TDM in communication networks. The findings show that TDM can enhance data transmission efficiency through flexible bandwidth allocation, minimizing signal interference and thereby improving signal quality. Due to these advantages, TDM is widely used in fiber optic communication systems, such as telephone and internet networks. Additionally, all data processing is conducted within integrated circuits utilizing Plastic Optical Fiber (POF), allowing TDM to be implemented at a low cost. 

Currently, the development of communication networks has influenced how humans communicate and exchange information. Data communications technology reflects the rapid evolution in the way humans communicate and exchange information. Data communication is the process of exchanging information between two or more devices via a transmission medium, such as cables, radio waves, or other network infrastructure. The goal of data communications is to transfer data from one location to another quickly, efficiently, and accurately. The method used is to look for references from several internet sources such as Google. The OSI model has 7 layers, namely Application Layer, Presentation layer, Session Layer, Transport layer, Network layer, data link layer, physical layer

In the era of digital communication, access speed and data security are crucial. The study evaluated network topology, focusing on tree topology using simulations with Cisco Packet Tracer. Tests highlighted stability, latency, throughput, and bottleneck potential. Data transmission time information is key in assessing network performance. Test results are important for optimizing performance and identifying areas of improvement in the network. In conclusion, monitoring network performance is an important step for operational efficiency and security.    

Diamond Printing is one of the largest offset printing companies with 32 years of experience and is located in the city of Surabaya, East Java. Data from HRD managers explained that there was no report from observations related to employee work effectiveness in terms of coordination and synergy between employees as seen from the communication and collaboration relationships. The absence of data related to the effectiveness of the performance of CV employees. Diamond Printing in terms of communication network mapping is one of the obstacles faced by HRD in determining KPI (key performance indicator). By using the Social Network Analysis (SNA) method with the help of UCINET 6 software, it is hoped that some employees will have advantages, especially in collaboration and communication in group network structures. There are three parameters used in SNA, including: degree centrality, closeness centrality, and betweenness centrality. This study involved 104 respondents (the entire population) with a sampling technique using snowball sampling and a questionnaire as a means of collecting data. The results of this study indicate that most of the collaboration and communication network interactions are dominated by manager level employees and department heads. Based on these findings, an innovation is needed from all stakeholders from CV. Diamond Printing in developing effective communication methods between its members.
