Depression is one of the mental health problems that often arise in patients with chronic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and chronic kidney failure. This condition not only impacts the patient's quality of life, but also affects the treatment process and the burden on the family. However, mental health literacy in the community is still low, so targeted preventive and curative efforts are needed. The Community Service Program (PKM) aims to improve people's mental health through educational interventions with scientific booklet media that are easy to understand and apply. The activity method is carried out in a participatory manner, including the preparation stage, socialization, educational implementation, and evaluation. Education is provided to the community with a focus on preventing depression through a healthy lifestyle, stress management skills, and early intervention efforts by seeking professional support. Evaluation is carried out through pre-post tests, observations, and group discussions. The results of the activity showed an increase in public knowledge about depression, a change in attitudes to be more open in expressing feelings, as well as practical skills in relaxation, maintaining sleep patterns, and building social support. Participants also better understand the importance of seeking professional help when depressive symptoms are getting worse. The conclusion of this PKM is that the scientific booklet has proven to be effective as a preventive and curative educational intervention medium, and can be an innovative strategy in improving the mental health of people affected by chronic diseases.

This community service program aims to improve teachers' competency in developing short story writing assessment instruments. This is crucial to ensure objective assessments for all students. This community service program contributes to the Indonesian language curriculum, particularly the short story writing curriculum. This community service program was conducted at Urumb State Junior High School in Merauke, with eight teachers participating. The school faced challenges in assessing the lack of objectivity, specifically the use of assessment instruments that align with the learning objectives. Furthermore, students' short story writing skills were still very low. This community service program enabled teachers to develop valid and reliable short story writing assessment instruments. The program took the form of a workshop, which included outreach through training, mentoring, and discussions with the implementation team. During the training phase, the implementation team provided students with an initial understanding of the importance of objective assessment. This was because, in addition to identifying student abilities, teachers could also assess the success of the teaching and learning process in the classroom. During the mentoring phase, the team provided direct guidance to train teachers in developing short story assessment instruments for student assignments. The questions in the assignments are written in language that is easy for students to understand. After developing the assessment instrument, which is the student assignment, a group discussion is held to refine the short story writing assessment instrument. Furthermore, students can improve their short story writing skills through the assignments in the assessment instrument.

Optimizing human resource (HR) performance through a business process reengineering (BPR) approach is a crucial strategy in a competitive and dynamic industrial environment. This study qualitatively examines through a literature review how BPRs radically redesign business processes to improve productivity, quality, time efficiency, and reduce operational costs, with a focus on HR aspects such as recruitment, training, performance appraisal, and career development. The BPR theory by Michael Hammer and James Champy emphasizes the principles of results-based workflow reorganization, the integration of information technology such as ERP and AI, and the empowerment of HR to eliminate task redundancy. In the Indonesian industrial context, the integration of BPR with digital transformation supports Industry 4.0, where HR acts as a catalyst for innovation through adaptive skills and cross-functional collaboration. The study results show that BPR implementation strategies including as-is process analysis, to-be design, change management, and continuous evaluation increase employee motivation, retention, and sustainable competitive advantage. Case studies such as PT Telkom Indonesia and PT Cahaya Mega Group demonstrate efficiency increases of up to 100%. This approach not only streamlines operations but also builds an organization resilient to market and technological disruption.
