Electricity dependence is increasing as people have easier access to electronic devices. However, this ease of access is not always accompanied by adequate energy literacy. In its Community Service program, Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Jakarta helped to educate the residents in RW06 Kalibaru, Jakarta, about the safe and efficient use of electricity. This community service program was conducted through participatory seminar with a qualitative approach for residents. The activity used informal visual presentations and discussions in an informal atmosphere. The outreach program demonstrated residents' high enthusiasm for the efficiency of electrical equipment usage such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and water pumps. Through the discussion session, residents realized that using air conditioners with too low a power consumption actually leads to higher energy consumption because the compressor runs continuously. Participants understood that investing in automation concepts, such as using water reservoirs, provides significant long-term electricity cost savings. This outreach successfully shifted residents' paradigm from just simply seeking low prices to selecting devices with optimal capacity according to their needs. This education program demonstrates the effectiveness of energy literacy in improving electricity consumption habits at the household level. Therefore, simple technical understanding can boost family economic financial advantages through sustainable effective energy consumptions.

Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disease caused by problems in the body in producing insulin, insulin produced is lacking or nonexistent, or it can be due to the insulin receptor not functioning so that cells cannot receive glucose for metabolism (Black, M. J. & Hawks, 2014; Pranata, S & Khasanah, 2017). Diabetic wounds are caused by infection as a result of high blood glucose, thereby increasing bacterial proliferation, and added to the deficiency of the immune system which causes the wound inflammation period to last a long time. In addition, inappropriate treatment of diabetic wounds (ulcers) can worsen the condition of the wound (Ekaputra, 2013). Therefore, proper and optimal wound care is needed. The wound care method that is currently developing is moist wound healing, which is more effective than conventional methods because it is easy to install, can adjust to the shape of the wound, easy to remove, comfortable to wear, does not need to change dressings frequently, absorbs drainage, presses and immobilizes wounds, prevents new wounds from mechanical injury, prevents infection, improves hemostasis by pressing the dressing. Wound care procedures through Debridement and dressing. Wound debridement can accelerate healing by removing necrotic tissue, particulates, or foreign material, and reducing the bacterial load. The conventional method is to use a scalpel and cut away all unwanted tissue including callus and eschar. Saline-moistened (wet-to-dry) gauze dressings; moisture-retaining dressings (hydrogels, hydrocolloids, hydrofibers, transparent films and alginates) that provide physical and autolytic debridement respectively; and antiseptic dressings (silver dressings, cadexomer). Newer advanced dressings are being studied, such as Vulnamin gel made from amino acids and hyaluronic acid used in conjunction with elastic compression have shown positive results.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition that causes pain, tingling and weakness in the hand due to compression of the median nerve in the wrist. Treatment of CTS is based on two main approaches, namely steroid injection therapy and endoscopic surgical decompression therapy. Steroid injection therapy provides greater temporary pain relief, but the benefits are not permanent. At the same time, surgical decompression treatment with endoscopy is a definitive treatment that is more effective in the long term and has a lower therapeutic failure rate than steroid injection treatment. This literature research explores various scientific studies and related literature that have been conducted in recent decades to understand the effectiveness and relative superiority of these two treatment methods. This review covers clinical aspects, such as the rate of pain recovery, recovery of hand function, as well as the impact on the patient's quality of life. The results of this literature review indicate that both treatment methods have their respective advantages and disadvantages. Steroid injection therapy can provide rapid and minimally invasive symptom relief, while endoscopic surgical decompression therapy tends to provide more lasting and complete improvement. Factors such as symptom severity, patient preference, and medical recommendations may influence the choice between these two methods.

In the development of increasingly developed technology and the demands of the community's needs for infrastructure facilities, it also affects the development of a construction field. This is also no exception in the manufacture of mortar which is used as a non-structural material in buildings. In making mortar itself, it is also influenced by developing technological developments, one of the types affected is pozzolan mortar. Pozzolan mortar has added materials derived from nature or industrial waste. In Indonesia, waste from eggshells is increasing every year, because eggshells are one of the people's favorite food ingredients. The eggshells have contain calcium carbonate (CaCO3) compound which is an element than cement. The materials of making the mortar itself are water, cement, and sand.  This research aims to utilize egg shell waste as an added material in mortar with variations in the percentage of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% eggshell powder. From the results obtained, the addition of eggshell powder at maximum compressive strength lies at a percentage of 15% of 300 MPa.

Mortar is a mixture of materials composed of fine aggregate (sand), adhesives such as (clay, lime, portlaand cement) and water with a certain composition. Mortar can be affected by several specification factors such as density, mortar age, type of bonding material, and aggregate properties. In this study using coconut fiber ash as an added material in making mortar which has a function as an enhancer of compressive strength value in mortar. In coconut fiber ash, it has an important chemical compound for mortar, namely silica compounds which function as the main element to increase the compressive strength value of mortar. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of adding coconut fiber ash material on the compressive strength of mortar with a percentage of 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%. From the results of the research conducted, a compressive strength value of 253 Mpa was obtained at a percentage of 10% of 7 days old and 253 Mpa at a percentage of 2.5% of 7 days old.

Concrete is a material that is commonly used when doing construction work today. Because concrete has several advantages when compared to other materials, such as being easy to form, resistant to weather changes, has high compressive strength, and is durable. In this study the use of Silica Fume as an additive to flow concrete has the function of improving the quality of flowing concrete. Silica Fume has an important role in affecting the chemical and mechanical properties of concrete. Judging from its chemical properties, Silica Fume geometrically fills the voids between cement materials, and causes the pore diameter to decrease and the total pore volume to decrease. Meanwhile, from its mechanical properties, Silica Fume has a pozzolanic reaction (a material containing silica/silica dioxide and alumina compounds) which reacts to the limestone released by the cement. The aim of the research is to increase the maximum compressive strength of flowing concrete by using Silica Fume added with varying percentages of 0%, 5%, 6%, 7.5%, 9%, 10.5% and 12% and using a superplasticizer of 1.5 %. From the results of the research conducted, it was found that flowing concrete with added silica fume on concrete compressive strength was able to reach 7.5% at 7 days of age of 25.91 MPa and at 28 days of concrete age was obtained at 26.19 MPa.

Paving blocks, also known as concrete bricks, are one of the materials commonly used by the public with many uses. Paving type A for roads, paving type B for parking lots, paving type C for pedestrians and paving type D for parks and other uses. Related to waste management efforts in Indonesia, efforts have been made to process one of them by processing plastic waste into paving blocks.
