Early Childhood Education (PAUD) is a stage of education that plays a crucial role in maximizing children's cognitive, social-emotional, motor skills, and creativity growth at their peak developmental stage. Children aged three to six learn efficiently through play, hands-on exploration, and interaction with their surroundings. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of loose parts media based on natural materials as a means to stimulate creativity in early childhood at PAUD Pelita Mandiri Kertek. This study adopted a descriptive qualitative approach and utilized data collection techniques such as observation, in-depth interviews with teachers, and documentation of children's work. The main focus of this study was on the use of various natural materials, such as corn cobs, twigs, pebbles, and leaves, in play and learning activities. The results showed that loose parts media using natural materials can enhance children's creativity by improving problem-solving skills, strengthening verbal skills in expressing ideas and telling stories about their work, and supporting independent learning because children are actively involved in the educational process. The open-ended nature of the materials allows children to explore and express their ideas freely, thus creating a learning atmosphere full of creativity, innovation, and fun. The implications of this research indicate that the use of loose parts media based on natural materials can be an alternative learning method that is not only effective, but also economical and easy to implement to support the development of children's creativity, independence, and thinking skills, in line with the principles of child-centered learning.

This community service program aimed to promote a community-based environmental care movement through the planting of productive trees in Meunasah Panggoi Village, Muara Dua District, Lhokseumawe City. The program was implemented over four weeks using a Community-Based Participatory (CBP) approach, actively involving local residents in the planning, observation, seedling procurement, tree planting, and initial maintenance stages. The observation results indicated that vegetation cover in the village was still limited, highlighting the need for sustainable greening efforts. A total of 25 productive trees, including mango, longan, coconut, guava, and avocado, were successfully planted at several strategic locations. The activity involved village officials, youth groups, and community members, thereby strengthening public participation in environmental conservation. The program not only increased vegetation cover but also reinforced the spirit of mutual cooperation, enhanced collective awareness of environmental preservation, and encouraged the productive use of available land. The productive trees are expected to provide long-term ecological, social, and economic benefits by improving environmental quality and generating harvests that can be utilized by the community. Therefore, community-based greening represents an effective strategy for supporting sustainable environmental development at the village level.

The low literacy rate and limited infrastructure continue to be ongoing issues in the city of Palangka Raya. As an effort to improve the literacy value of the community, especially in the narrower social sphere. Therefore, in this case, the establishment of libraries at the Village or Subdistrict Government level is very much needed. As a step to regulate the management and organization of libraries from the city level to the sub-district level, the Palangka Raya City Government has enacted Regional Regulation No. 9 of 2019 concerning Library Management. This Community Service Program focuses on improving community literacy, particularly for students of SD Negeri 1 Kereng Bangkirai, conducted in the village of Kereng Bangkirai. Thru this activity, it is expected that there will be an increase in community visits to the "Harati" Library in the village of Kereng Bangkirai and that it will enhance interest and awareness of literacy, especially among the students of SD Negeri 1 Kereng Bangkirai. Thus, this Community Service activity can run and have a maximum impact.

One key measure of a region's economic growth is the employment rate, as it reflects the ability of the economy to absorb labor and improve community welfare. In Jambi Province, employment opportunities are influenced by several factors, including Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), population growth, and the Human Development Index (HDI). This study aims to analyze the effects of GRDP, population growth, and HDI on employment growth rates across regencies and cities in Jambi Province. The research employs a quantitative approach using panel data regression analysis covering 11 regencies and cities during the period 2017–2023. The findings indicate that GRDP growth, population growth, and HDI simultaneously influence employment levels. Partially, population growth and HDI have significant effects on employment, indicating that improvements in human development and demographic dynamics contribute to labor absorption. Meanwhile, economic growth, as measured by GRDP, has a relatively small negative effect on employment. This suggests that economic expansion does not always generate proportional employment opportunities, possibly due to structural changes and technological developments. Therefore, policies aimed at improving human capital and labor market conditions are essential to support sustainable employment growth in Jambi Province.

High-quality forage selection is a central factor in improving Bali cattle performance, particularly in smallholder systems that rely heavily on local feed resources. This study evaluated the effects of odot grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott) and pakchong grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Thailand) on feed intake, average daily gain, and feed conversion ratio of male Bali cattle. The experiment was conducted for 30 days from February to March 2026 at CV. RnB Farm, Gorontalo Regency. Nine male Bali cattle with relatively homogeneous initial body weights of 150–200 kg was assigned to a completely randomized design with three treatments and three replications. The treatments were P0, field grass as the control; P1, 100% odot grass plus concentrate; and P2, 100% pakchong grass plus concentrate. Dry matter intake did not differ significantly among treatments, with values of 6.47 ± 0.19, 6.52 ± 0.19, and 6.55 ± 0.16 kg/head/day for P0, P1, and P2, respectively. In contrast, average daily gain differed significantly, with the highest value observed in P2 at 0.56 ± 0.08 kg/head/day, followed by P1 at 0.52 ± 0.09 kg/head/day and P0 at 0.45 ± 0.06 kg/head/day. Feed conversion ratio also differed significantly, with the most efficient value recorded in P2 at 11.98 ± 2.10. These findings indicate that pakchong grass combined with concentrate provides the best feed efficiency and growth performance, while odot grass remains a promising alternative forage for improving Bali cattle productivity.

This study was conducted to examine, from an organizational behavior perspective, how leadership styles influence employee work behavior at the Population and Civil Registration Service (Dukcapil) of Magelang Regency. This study utilized various reference sources, including books, scientific journals, and previous research on leadership, organizational behavior, and employee work behavior. The results showed that certain leadership styles have a significant impact on employee work behavior, particularly in terms of improving discipline, motivation, responsibility, and the quality of public services. Transformational, democratic, and authentic leadership styles are considered more effective because they can create a good work environment, build trust, and encourage positive behaviors such as cooperation and initiative. Conversely, ineffective leadership can lead to low work motivation, decreased organizational commitment, and decreased quality of public services. Furthermore, this study shows that organizational systems are not the only factor influencing the success of public services; leaders also have the necessary expertise to direct and change employee work behavior. Therefore, a flexible and engaging leadership style is an important component in improving the quality of public services at Dukcapil of Magelang Regency.

Odot grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott) is an important ruminant forage because of its high palatability, adaptability to tropical environments, and potential for high biomass production. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of solid organic fertilizer on the growth and production of odot grass as a basis for developing productive and sustainable forage cultivation. The experiment was conducted in Pangi Village, Dulupi District, Boalemo Regency, from February to March 2026 using a completely randomized design with five treatments and three replications. The treatments consisted of P0 without solid organic fertilizer, P1 at 10 t/ha, P2 at 20 t/ha, P3 at 30 t/ha, and P4 at 40 t/ha. Observed variables included plant height, leaf number, tiller number, and fresh weight production. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance followed by Duncan’s multiple range test at the 5% significance level. The results showed that P4 produced the best response for all measured parameters. The highest plant height was 77.83 ± 43.80 cm, with 18.83 ± 3.67 leaves, 2.42 ± 1.38 tillers, and fresh weight production of 52.33 ± 10.12 t/ha. These improvements indicate that 40 t/ha solid organic fertilizer enhanced nutrient availability and supported biomass formation. Solid organic fertilizer is therefore a promising locally based cultivation input for improving ruminant forage productivity.
