This study aims to describe the initial state of the research ecosystem at STAIN Mandailing Natal, to assess student participation in scholarly activities, and to identify the primary obstacles encountered. Employing a qualitative methodology with case?study and literature?review approaches, primary data were gathered through direct observation, in?depth interviews, and questionnaires administered to 360 students, while secondary data were derived from peer?reviewed journal articles, books, and other relevant documents. The findings reveal that only approximately 10?% of the institution’s 3,800 students, across 20 degree programmes, actively engage in scholarly writing. In response, the RISE2045 initiative established “RISE Clubs” to foster a student?centred research ecosystem, comprising brief methodological workshops, regular peer?review circles, and an internal e?repository. During the three?month pilot in the History and Islamic Philosophy programme, 60 participants were recruited; 30 manuscripts underwent peer review, 17 were selected as “best drafts,” and subsequently uploaded to the platform. Post?pilot surveys indicate that 85?% of participants reported improved writing skills and 70?% expressed greater confidence in submitting their work to academic journals. The RISE Club model is both adaptable and scalable to other programmes with local customization, and its sustainability depends on multi?stakeholder collaboration, including funding support, adequate IT infrastructure, and engagement from the broader research community. These results underscore the effectiveness of RISE Clubs in cultivating an inclusive and enduring research culture. It is recommended that local governments strengthen support through mini?grants, universities secure subscriptions to international journals, and other institutions adopt this model to stimulate student research activity in advance of Indonesia’s Golden Generation in 2045.

One of the important steps to improve transparency, effectiveness, and accountability in village governance is the digitalization of village assets. This program aims to use digital tools to improve asset management, make data access easier, and help improve decision-making processes. The focus of this study is to support the digitalization of village assets through the creation and implementation of the Smart Village website in Mondoretno Village, Bulu District, Temanggung Regency. The mentoring strategy includes four steps, namely Digital village asset inventory, Collaboration with third parties, Promoting to the community, and Capacity building through feedback. The results of the mentoring show a significant increase in data organization, ease of access, and the ability of village officials to use digital platforms. In addition, the Smart Village website functions as a center for information and administrative activities. This website helps build a more sophisticated and connected village governance system. This study found that digital technology in village asset management is not only possible, but also effective in addressing the problems faced by rural communities. The success of the program in Mondoretno Village provides a model that can be used by other villages that want to change their lives to the computer and internet era.

This research aims to determine the influence of the Problem Based Learning Model on Students' Critical Thinking Ability on Ecosystem Material for Class X Students of State High School 2 Gowa. This type of research uses a quasi-experimental type of research or also called quasi-experiment with a "random pretest posttest control group" design model. There are two data collection techniques in this research, namely, test and non-test, then the data collected is analyzed using descriptive analysis and inferential test analysis. The research results show that the average critical thinking ability students in the experimental class who were taught using the Problem Based Learning learning model were in the very good category with an average score of 78.52 and students' critical thinking abilities, while in the control class who were taught using the lecture method were adequate with an average score 52.55. Inferential analysis in hypothesis testing shows significant results with a sig value of 0.000 > 0.05 so that there is an influence of the Problem Based Learning learning model on students' critical thinking abilities in ecosystem material. This is also reinforced by the results of observations regarding student activity increasing.

Maahad Tahfiz Al-Qur’an Darul Falah, Selangor, Malaysia, is an institution focused on Qur’an memorization for female students. Due to their intense activities, including memorization requiring high concentration, balanced nutrition is essential for supporting their academic performance and health. However, their nutritional intake has not been fully optimized. Initial observations indicated that some students have limited knowledge of balanced nutrition, which may affect their health and nutritional status. This community service program aimed to raise awareness about the importance of balanced nutrition through education, nutritional status checks, and counseling. The program included three main activities: (1) Nutrition education through lectures and interactive sessions, covering basic concepts of balanced nutrition, the food pyramid, and guidelines from the Ministry of Health Malaysia; (2) Nutritional status checks through height and weight measurements to calculate Body Mass Index (BMI), identifying students' nutritional categories and related issues; and (3) Nutritional counseling, conducted after the status checks, teaching students how to achieve or maintain an ideal weight and offering advice on healthy eating and lifestyle habits. The program, which involved 40 students, found that 60% of them had a normal nutritional status, while some were underweight (12.5%), overweight (20%), and obese (7.5%). The education and counseling sessions helped improve the students' understanding of the importance of balanced nutrition and provided guidance on how to maintain or achieve a healthy weight, supporting their overall health and academic.
