Mercury (Hg) is a metal that is commonly found in water and has toxic properties, so it is very dangerous for human health and the environment. Mercury in the environment can come from gold mining activities such as in Pesanggaran Village, Banyuwangi. Based on information from the surrounding community, the waste disposal flowed into the river and it was feared to affect the quality of river water in this area. This study aimed to analyze the mercury level in the river water using the UV-Visible Spectrophotometer method, where river water samples were taken from the upstream, middle, and downstream parts. Determination of mercury levels was carried out at the STIKES Banyuwangi Laboratory. The results showed that the Hg content in the river water around the gold mining area of Pesanggaran Village, Banyuwangi ranged from 0.031 to 0.033 mg/L. The Hg level of river water in this area was above the threshold and it was not recommended to use as drinking, bathing, cooking or washing. However, it is necessary to analyze Hg levels using other methods, such as the AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy) method which is more expensive but more accurate results will be obtained.

MSMEs are the most important pillars in the Indonesian economy. The most famous copper craft center in Indonesia is Tumang Village, Cepogo, Boyolali, Central Java. It is called a craft center because of the local residents, some of whom are copper craftsmen. The problems that occur are the limited information technology and the ability to access technology and information from outside, as well as management that has not been implemented properly that can support the craftsman development program, both from the point of view of the professionalism of its human resources as well as in terms of product development, craft design equipment and management. In addition, sales systems and data processing are still carried out conventionally, resulting in limited marketing opportunities and transaction processing. The lack of literacy of SMEs towards information technology is the cause. Only about 25% of all business actors in Tumang have utilized technology for marketing and financial management. The implementation of this Community Service is intended to provide socialization and training as well as assistance to improve skills and knowledge for craftsmen to market their products on a global scale and provide electronic sales applications for craftsmen so that customers can get information quickly, and can make online shopping transactions. As well as a digital accounting information system that will increasingly provide convenience in creating accountable, transparent, and secure financial reports. This PKM activity was carried out by the Community Service Team (PKM) from the Management Economics Study Program at the Islamic University of Batik Surakarta through the 2021 Matching Fund grant. The PKM activity was aimed at brass and copper metal craftsmen in Tumang, Cepogo Boyolali. The methods used are socialization, training, and mentoring. The results of PKM activities are technological innovations in the form of a Marketplace Application called "Javacraft", which is a web application developed by the Islamic University of Surakarta Batik as an online sales medium or as a sales medium for MSMEs of local Indonesian handicrafts, especially copper or brass crafts in Tumang Boyolali, handicraft products and sales processing facilities. In addition, PKM activities also include socialization about digital marketing (e-commerce) and Accounting Information Systems (SIA), training and assistance in using the "Javacraft" Marketplace Application to support sales of brass and copper metal crafts in Tumang.

Mesin Computer Numeric Control ( CNC ) adalah pengembangan dari mesin yang sudah ada sebelumnya tetapi belum menggunakan computer, masih menggunakan model sebagai contoh duplikasinya yang disebut Numeric Control ( NC ). Mesin Computer Numeric Control ( CNC ) pada awalnya dipergunakan sebagai alat cetak industri terutama pada bidang mesin dan otomotif. Computer Numeric Control ( CNC ) pada dasarnya dapat memakai bahan apa saja yang secara fisik bisa digrafir atau dibor ( dengan penyesuaian tertentu pada alat potongnya sesuai klasifikasi bahan ). Bahan material dasar yang sering dipakai dengan Mesin Computer Numeric Control ( CNC ) antara lain : metal / besi, kayu, plastic dan aluminium. Dari beberapa hal tersebut apakah mesin Computer Numeric Control ( CNC ) dapat berperan dalam sebuah karya arsitektur yang dihasilkan seorang arsitek?, atau apakah nantinya dengan adanya teknologi semacam ini peran arsitek tak lagi dibutuhkan? Pada sebuah karya arsitektur material bahan bangunan fabrikasi yang dihasilkan oleh Mesin Computer Numeric Control ( CNC ), biasanya dipakai sebagai finishing, walau tidak menutup kemungkinan dipakai sebagai sebuah struktur dengan rekayasa tertentu, dan juga material fabrikasi semacam ini dipakai sebagai bagian dari interior maupun produk produk furnitur hingga pelengkap suatu ruangan seperti vas, lampu, rak, dll. Produk Computer Numeric Control ( CNC ) pada sebuah karya arsitektur juga sangat indah dinikmati sebagai komponen yang diekspos pada bangunan. Suatu hasil dari produk Computer Numeric Control ( CNC ) tidak dapat dikategorikan sebagai karya arsitektur apabila hanya indah tetapi tanpa makna.
