This community service journal discusses the involvement of Universitas Muslim Indonesia (UMI) in addressing social issues, particularly in its partner villages, including Sanrobone Village in Takalar Regency. As part of UMI’s commitment to the Tri Dharma of higher education, which includes community service, new faculty members are assigned to contribute to the development of underprivileged areas. The program aims to improve community welfare through educational outreach, health initiatives, and literacy programs. The community service activities in Sanrobone, which took place from July 3 to August 3, 2024, involved three UMI faculty members: Aulia Mahardika, dr. Harry Supratama, and dr. Dhian Karina A. Hattah. The primary focus of these activities included health education, digital literacy, and contributing to the establishment of a community library. The service program was designed to enhance the community's understanding of osteoporosis, intestinal worms, and the importance of digital literacy in today’s technological age. Additionally, the faculty members contributed to building a library in the village to foster reading habits and knowledge acquisition. The journal also highlights the collaboration with the local government, emphasizing the importance of integrating academic expertise into community-based development. The outcomes of this community service initiative not only supported the local community's development but also provided valuable learning experiences for the faculty, contributing to their professional growth as educators and community leaders.

Worms are an infectious disease caused by parasites in the form of worms. According to data from the Papua Province Health Service in 2011, the number of worm cases was 528.8 per 1,000 population, while in the Jayapura City Health Service the number of worm cases in 2011 was 2.48 per 1,000 population. According to data from the Abe Pantai Community Health Center, the prevalence of worms in 2012 was 3.21 per 1,000 population. The prevalence in Hedam Community Health Center, Waena Community Health Center and Kotaraja Community Health Center in 2012 was 1.94 per 1,000 population, 1.25 per 1,000 population, 0.94 per 1,000 population, respectively. Vegetables that are eaten directly are at risk of being contaminated by various types of parasites during planting, harvesting and marketing and have the potential for transmission of infection to humans. This study aims to determine whether or not there is contamination with STH (Soil transmitted helminth) worm eggs contained in fresh vegetables from roadside tent stalls in Abepura District. The type of research used is descriptive research using a laboratory approach. The research sample was 20 samples of roadside tent stall traders in Abepura District taken using Random Sampling Technique. The method for examining worm eggs uses the Sedimentation method. The results of identification of worm eggs in fresh vegetables sold by roadside stall vendors in Abepura District showed that there was worm egg contamination found in 20 samples of fresh vegetables, with 8 samples contaminated or 40% and 12 samples or 60% not contaminated with worm eggs Soil transmitted helminth. The types of Soil Transmitted Helminth worm egg species found were Ascaris lumbricoides (35%), Trichuris trichiura (30%) and Hookworm (30%)

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem in children that can occur from the womb to the beginning of a baby's life until they are two years old. Worms are an infectious disease caused by the STH (Soil Transmitted Helminths) worm parasite. The impact of worms on children is that it results in a decline in health and nutrition. One of the activities carried out is socialization about worm disease in stunted children as an effort to increase public awareness from an early age through monitoring children's growth and development at posyandu. The aim of PkM is to increase the knowledge of mothers of toddlers about preventing and treating stunting and worms. The method used is counseling through health education on how to prevent and treat worms early in stunted children. The PkM target is 28 mothers of toddlers. The implementation was carried out in Bone Village. The results of the outreach show that the education and knowledge of mothers of toddlers is still low so that the implementation of socialization activities can increase knowledge and build commitment among mothers with toddlers in the Bone Village area to monitor the nutritional status and growth and development of toddlers against worms at the Posyandu.

The most common Soil Transmitted Helmints (STH) in Indonesia are roundworms (Ascaris lumbricoides), whipworms (Trichuris trichiura), and hookworms (Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus). Worms are a common disease that people in developing countries suffer from, but this cannot be underestimated because it can have a negative impact on the sufferer's health. One of the worm eggs that can cause worms is STH. Unfortunately, this has not been studied further, thus encouraging researchers to conduct a study regarding the Identification of STH Worm Eggs in the Nails of Female Farmers in Sukamandi Hilir Village, Pagar Merbau District, Deli Serdang Regency. This study aims to see the results of identifying STH worm eggs in the nails of female farmers in Sukamandi Hilir Village, Pagar Merbau District, Deli Serdang Regency. The research population was 34 nail samples from female farmers in Sukamandi Hilir Village. This type of research was descriptive. This research was carried out in the Parasitology Laboratory, Medical Laboratory Technology Department, Health Polytechnic, Ministry of Health, Medan using the Flotation method (NaCl 40%). The results of this research were obtained from 34 fingernail samples of female farmers, STH worm eggs were found in 2 samples (6%). The conclusion of this research is that female farmers in Sukamandi Hilir Village, Pagar Merbau District, Deli Serdang Regency, that some farmers lack good personal hygiene, incomplete use of PPE, and lack of personal hygiene

The catfish (Pangasius sp.) is a popular freshwater fish among consumers, both in Indonesia and internationally. One of the main challenges in catfish farming is the suboptimal use of feed. The commonly used feed consists of natural and artificial types. Natural feed is divided into two categories: animal-based and plant-based. The animal-based natural feed frequently used by farmers is tubifex worms. However, tubifex worms have a drawback, as their availability in the market is limited. Therefore, a study was conducted to explore the use of Azolla as an alternative feed for catfish. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with one treatment and two levels, namely 100% Azolla and 100% tubifex worms. The study was conducted over a period of 14 days. The observed parameters included fish growth (length and weight), survival rate (SR), Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), and water quality (temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen). The data from the study were analyzed using a mean value test. The results showed that the use of Azolla as feed had a positive impact on catfish growth, although it was not yet effective in fully replacing 100% tubifex worms. There was an increase in biomass of 13.8 grams and an average length increase of 0.56 cm during the 14-day maintenance period.

. Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH) is a group of intestinal nematode worms that require soil for the maturation process so that there is a change from a non-infective stage to an infective stage. This study aims to find out whether in the coastal sand area of Sekupang District, Batam City, there are intestinal nematode eggs of the Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH) group. The method used in this study is a survey method by taking sand samples from 3 different beaches, namely Tanjung Pinggir beach, Dangas beach, and Marina beach, then the sample is examined, namely by soaking the sample with 15 ml of saturated NaCl for 30 minutes stirring until evenly distributed with a stirring rod then transferred the soaking water in a test tube. Deck glass is placed on top at the mouth of the tube for 60 minutes. Then the sample was observed under a microscope with a magnification of 10 to 40 then analyzed descriptively by making a picture systematically. The results showed that there were no intestinal nematode worm eggs of the STH group in the beach sand sample so that it could be concluded that the tannjung beach sand area of Sekupang District, Batam City was free from contamination of intestinal nematode worm eggs of the soil transmitted helmith (STH) group.

Every human being has the right to shape himself into a healthy human being so that he can move well. Of course, being healthy must be familiarized from a young age. Elementary school age is an important period because at this age children are very vulnerable to various diseases and health problems. Diseases and health problems that often affect elementary school children are generally related to clean and healthy living habits, such as toothache, diarrhea, worms, skin diseases, dengue fever, and many others. This research uses the literature method obtained from scientific journal sources to provide an overview of how physical education and sports help elementary school children to improve clean and healthy living behavior. The results obtained are that there are components that support a clean and healthy lifestyle. Then internal and external factors must be considered because they can affect the increase in clean and healthy lifestyles. There are also simple steps that can be applied by elementary school-age children, such as the steps of washing hands every day and brushing teeth properly and correctly so that they can familiarize themselves with clean and healthy living.  

Nemo fish (Amphiprion sp.) is a type of marine ornamental fish that is popular because it is unique in terms of color, shape and movement. Feed is a factor in the growth and survival process of nemo fish. The aim of this research was to determine feed adaptation to the efficiency and feed conversion of nemo fish seeds. The research used an experimental method using a Completely Randomized Design consisting of 3 treatments and 3 replications. Treatment A (silk worms), treatment B (pellets) and treatment C (combination of 70% silk worms and 30% pellets). The best absolute weight growth results were in treatment C, namely 0.33 grams, while the lowest were in treatment B, namely 0.28. The survival rate (SR) during maintenance in each treatment was 100%. The best feed efficiency was in treatment C at 16.17% and the best feed conversion ratio was in treatment C with the lowest conversion ratio value of 4.81. Based on the results of the research conducted, it was concluded that feed adaptation for nemo fish seeds did not have a real influence on the efficiency and feed conversion of nemo fish seeds (Sig. > 0.05).    

Intestinal diseases caused by transmission from worms as a source of helminthiasis generally occur in areas with subtropical and tropical climate conditions which have a wet climate and lack of awareness among the public regarding maintaining health and sanitation of the surrounding environment. Around 60 percent of Indonesians experience worm infections. The largest age group is 5-14 years old. The prevalence figure is 60 percent, 21 percent of which attack elementary school age children. This disease can be spread by eggs in human waste found in soil and water, therefore awareness of clean and sanitary living is very influential, the process or pattern of feces disposal is also very influential in the spread of this worm. The high rate of soil contamination by Ascaris, which reaches >70%, can also be caused by feces that are thrown anywhere, such as in bushes or around houses close to where you live.  Preventing recurrent infections is very important by practicing clean and healthy living habits such as avoiding contact with soil that may be contaminated with human feces, washing hands with soap and water before handling food, protecting food from soil and washing or heating food that falls on the floor. Several researchers have shown that school age is a group that is often affected by worm infections because they are often in contact with soil. Apart from the government, the role of teachers and parents is very important in providing understanding or knowledge about worms so that they are more disciplined. The aim of community service is to provide knowledge and understanding to class IV/A students at SD N Pannara regarding the dangers of worms and how to prevent them and administer worm medicine.    

Helminths is a term that refers to a group of parasitic diseases caused by nematodes that are transmitted to humans through soil contaminated with feces. The incidence of worms is influenced by several factors, including poor environmental sanitation and personal hygiene, such as lack of cleanliness in washing hands, not wearing footwear, not paying attention to clean nails, and poor sanitation are factors that cause worm infections. In an effort to control worms, the Minister of Health has established regulations for the mass administration of worm prevention medication, hereinafter referred to as POPM worms. The general aim of this research is to determine the relationship between parental knowledge, personal hygiene and environmental sanitation with the incidence of worms in children at SD Negeri 94 Kendari in 2023. The population in this study is all active students at SD Negeri 94 Kendari in 2023. The results of this research show There is no relationship between parental knowledge and the incidence of worms with a P-value of 0.207, for personal hygiene it has a significant relationship with the incidence of worms with a P-value of 0.010 and for environmental sanitation it also has a significant relationship with the incidence of worms with a P-value 0.001.
