Red galangal (Alpinia officinarum) is a medicinal herb rich in phenolic and flavonoid compounds, which offer significant health benefits. This study aimed to optimize the fermentation duration using Lactobacillus plantarum FNCC 0026 to maximize the bioactive content in red galangal flour. The research method involved fermenting red galangal flour for periods ranging from 1 to 7 days, followed by drying and a staged maceration extraction using 70% ethanol. The analyzed parameters included the final pH of the fermentation medium, total phenolic content (TPC), and total flavonoid content (TFC). The results indicated that a longer fermentation period decreased the pH, although no significant differences were observed among the 1- to 7-day treatments. Otherwise, the fermentation duration had a highly significant effect on TPC (p0.01) and TFC (p0.05). The highest accumulation of both TPC and TFC was achieved after 5 days of fermentation, with values of 1468.78 mg GAE/100 g and 41.49 mg QE/100 g, respectively. It is concluded that a 5-day fermentation period is the optimal duration for enhancing the bioactive compounds in red galangal, offering an effective biotechnological approach for developing functional food ingredients.

Digital transformation of public services is an important step towards efficient, transparent and accountable government institutions. This study recommends strengthening digital infrastructure and providing ongoing training for staff and the community to support the optimization of digital transformation of land services. The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of Management Information Systems in supporting the digital transformation of land services at the Land Office (BPN) of Asahan Regency. The study used a qualitative approach, combining case studies and analysis. The results show that various services such as Complete System Land Registration (PTSL), certificate checking, and electronic transfer of rights have been digitized, supported by innovations such as the Touch My Land application and digitization of land registration archives. This shift has accelerated service processes, increased transparency, and improved public satisfaction.

The widespread phenomenon of bad debts on PayLater has become a serious problem affecting the younger generation. This community service activity aims to educate the risks of PayLater as a form of early financial literacy prevention at the secondary school level. PayLater requires terms and conditions to be met. However, users often ignore these terms and conditions, resulting in legal consequences. The legal provisions regarding PayLater in e-commerce are regulated by Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 10/POJK.05/2022 concerning Information Technology-Based Joint Funding Services, and the Agreement under Article 1313 of the Civil Code (KUHPerdata). This agreement is considered a standard agreement because it contains terms and conditions made by one party and an electronic agreement made and documented in an electronic document. The community service activity was carried out by the Community Service Team in partnership with SMA Kesatrian 2 Semarang, targeting the school's eleventh-grade students. The community service location is at Jalan Gajah Raya No. 58, Gayamsari, Semarang City. The problem faced by partners is a lack of understanding regarding the legal aspects of using PayLater on e-commerce platforms. Therefore, the Community Service team conducted outreach to provide understanding regarding this matter. This community service activity utilized methods including lectures and question-and-answer sessions to address the partners' concerns. To gauge the students' level of understanding, a pre-test was conducted before the presentation. Following the Q&A session, the community service team provided an evaluation through a post-test.

Traditional markets are characterized by fast-paced and diverse transactions, necessitating a reliable product monitoring system to enhance the efficiency of stock management and transactions. This study develops a monitoring system based on a loadcell sensor and a TCS230 color sensor to automatically classify product weight and type. The loadcell is used to measure product weight with high accuracy, while the TCS230 detects the color characteristics of products to distinguish between different types of commodities, such as various varieties of chili peppers. The development process includes sensor calibration, dataset collection, and the training and evaluation of a classification model. Experimental results show that the classification accuracy exceeds 90%, demonstrating the effectiveness of combining weight and color data for market product recognition.

Purpose: This study examined how family communication transmitted environmental values among the Baduy (Indonesia), linking their unique traditional ecological knowledge, cultural practices, and identity-based frameworks to sustainability outcomes to inform broader conservation efforts.
Methods: This qualitative study conducted in-depth interviews with four purposefully selected Baduy participants (Banten, Indonesia) to capture diverse perspectives. Informants included a ‘Tokoh Adat’ (customary leader), the ‘Kepala Desa Kanekes’ (village head), and two ‘Warga Baduy’ (general community members), representing traditional authority, administrative leadership, and community viewpoints.
Findings: Findings illuminate the Baduy people's profound integration of traditional agriculture and environmental preservation. This commitment manifests in their strict chemical prohibition, reliance on natural fertilizers, deep reverence for protected forests, and adherence to eco-friendly farming methods. These practices are embedded within a robust framework of customary law (‘adat’) and significantly informed by ‘Karma’ belief, reflecting a sophisticated understanding of long-term ecological consequences. Furthermore, these ingrained traditions fundamentally shape intergenerational communication, positioning the family as the primary conduit for transmitting vital environmental values and ecological knowledge. This dynamic process actively cultivates environmental responsibility and perpetuates a harmonious coexistence with nature within the community.
Originality: Providing novel insights, this qualitative study uniquely examined family communication's role in embedding environmental values across Baduy generations (Indonesia). Findings illuminate how traditional ecological knowledge and cultural practices synergize, driving sustainable agriculture/waste management and reinforcing community resilience through ancestral wisdom, informing culturally grounded conservation.
