The ability to write scientific papers is an essential competency for students in supporting academic achievement and readiness to face the world of work and research. However, many students still experience difficulties in compiling scientific papers, especially in the aspects of writing systematics, the use of academic language, and reference management. In response to this problem, the service team carried out a Scientific Writing Preparation Training for PASIM National University students as a form of implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education in the aspect of community service. The training method uses an andragogy approach through interactive lectures, discussions, and hands-on practice. The activity was attended by around 50 students across study programs. The training material includes an introduction to scientific papers, writing rules, topic determination techniques, reference search and management, and outline preparation. Evaluation was carried out through observation, assessment of written products, and satisfaction questionnaires. The results showed an increase in participants' understanding by 30–40% based on the comparison of pre-test and post-test. All participants succeeded in compiling an outline of scientific papers, and the majority expressed satisfaction with the training. This activity has proven to be effective in improving students' scientific writing skills and fostering academic motivation and culture. It is recommended that similar training be carried out on an ongoing basis with intensive mentoring to support the improvement of the quality of human resources and contribution to student scientific publications.

Sharing love is a form of caring for others, especially for orphans in orphanages. On Friday 20 September 2024, we held a love sharing event by distributing green bean porridge to orphans at the Puteri Melati `Aisyiyah Orphanage in Sebengkok, Tarakan. This event aims to provide simple happiness and strengthen ties between the community and children in orphanages. Social activities such as sharing food are often considered trivial. In fact, for those living in orphanages, healthy and nutritious food is an important need that is sometimes difficult to meet regularly. By distributing green bean porridge, we not only provide nutritional intake that is beneficial for the body, but also provide happiness and new enthusiasm for the children there. This activity is a form of love that they can feel directly, both through the taste of the food they enjoy and through our presence who provides attention and care. Apart from that, green bean porridge has its own meaning in the tradition of sharing in Indonesian society. As a food that is often associated with moments of togetherness and mutual cooperation, green bean porridge is a symbol of simplicity and sincere love. When this porridge is distributed in orphanages, it is not just food, but becomes a symbol of concern from those who care about the welfare of the children there.  Social concern is an attitude of connection with humanity in general, an empathy for every member of the human community, for example female students. Community service is one of the media to hone student awareness in carrying out community service.

This study aims to determine the village government's efforts to encourage community participation in development in Mario Village, Tanasitolo District, Wajo Regency, and to identify inhibiting and influencing factors in the implementation of these efforts. Community participation is considered a crucial element in sustainable village development, as without active involvement from residents, development programs are difficult to achieve optimal results. This study used a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. This approach allows the researcher to capture in-depth insights and perspectives directly from the community and village officials. This method allows the data obtained to more comprehensively describe the dynamics of community participation and the strategies implemented by the village government. The results show that the village government has implemented various efforts to encourage community participation, including through village deliberations, mutual cooperation activities, and community service. Community involvement was encouraged through collective decision-making and shared responsibilities in development programs. These efforts have generally had a positive impact on community involvement. However, the study also found inhibiting factors, particularly the community's economic limitations that affect their ability to participate in development. Furthermore, some residents still face challenges in terms of awareness and understanding of the importance of active participation. Therefore, more inclusive strategies oriented towards the socio-economic conditions of the local community are needed. Inclusive policies and adaptive strategies are essential to fostering sustainable rural development. This research is expected to serve as a reference for village governments and other stakeholders in formulating more effective policies, so that village development can proceed effectively, sustainably, and truly benefit all levels of society.

According to data from the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs in 2024, Indonesia has more than 60 million SMEs, which are very important to its economy, contributing 60% to the national GDP. However, around 77.5% of SMEs do not keep financial records, while 22.5% have some form of financial reporting that is often inconsistent and poorly documented. Many entrepreneurs do not realize the importance of financial reports, instead focusing on business growth and sales. Lack of financial literacy leads to poor decision-making and operational transparency. Quality financial reports can facilitate access to capital and serve as an indicator of business success. Programs aimed at improving financial literacy and the importance of financial reporting have shown a positive impact on SME performance. The training program for Dapur Umi Ila SMEs in Bojongkerta aims to empower participants through education on financial management, emphasizing the importance of maintaining accurate financial records for proper decision-making and sustainable business growth. By creating financial reports, Dapur Umi Ila SMEs are expected to be more concerned about operational finances so that they can learn to make decisions based on relevant and reliable financial reports..

One of the mandatory programs for students of Borneo Tarakan University is the Real Work Lecture (KKN) by combining students from various departments into one group placed in a village to carry out community service. Group 19 was placed in Sebidai Village, Tana Tidung with the aim of "Optimizing Village Development towards Independent Villages". The problems were the lack of public understanding about proper agricultural land clearing, the low knowledge in managing agricultural products (taro) into superior products, and the lack of village understanding regarding fair and reasonable retribution. The activities included socialization on the dangers of illegal land clearing, entrepreneurship training on processing taro into marketable chips and cakes, as well as the proposal of village regulations regarding retribution. The results of the activities had a positive impact, with the community being more vigilant in land clearing, taro-based products being able to be marketed, and village regulations on retribution being completed as requested by the Village Head.
