Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are one of the sectors that have an important role in supporting Indonesia's national economy. Its contribution is enormous to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), job creation, and increased innovation, especially in the face of global economic challenges and social inequality. This research aims to examine in depth the role of MSMEs in encouraging Indonesia's economic growth and identify various challenges faced by this sector. The method used in this study is library research, by analyzing various sources of scientific literature, policy reports, and relevant empirical data related to the role of MSMEs. The results of the study show that MSMEs not only contribute to increasing national GDP, but also become the main driving force in providing jobs for the community, especially in rural and suburban areas. In addition, MSMEs are also an important means in the development of local innovation, especially in the use of simple technology that is in accordance with community conditions. However, MSMEs also face a number of serious challenges that can hinder their contribution to economic growth. These challenges include limited access to digital payment systems, low quality of human resources (HR), weak marketing networks, and limited capital and technology. Thus, to increase the role of MSMEs in national economic development, synergy is needed between the government, the private sector, and financial institutions in providing comprehensive and sustainable support. The support includes training on human resource capacity building, access to capital, digital transformation, and strengthening the business ecosystem. This research is expected to contribute to the development of policies that favor the empowerment of MSMEs in Indonesia.

This research was motivated by the problem of children's low ability to coordinate hand and vision movements, which directly impacts their activities and fine motor skills. This study aims to describe the activities of teachers and children and analyze the development of fine motor skills in group A students at Hidayatullah Kindergarten Barito Kuala. This study used a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach with a qualitative design and was conducted over four meetings. The results showed a significant increase in teacher activities and the development of children's fine motor skills. Teacher activities that initially received a score of 18 in the fairly good category increased to a score of 32 in the very good category at the fourth meeting. Meanwhile, at the beginning of the intervention, only 7% of children were in the Very Well Developed (BSB) category. After the first intervention, the percentage of children in the BSB category increased to 27% or five children. A more significant increase occurred at the fourth meeting, with 14 children or 82% falling into the BSB category. The intervention used a project-based learning model combined with a demonstration method in stringing activities using natural materials. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that this model is effective in improving fine motor skills in early childhood. This combination of approaches encourages active child engagement and provides meaningful and contextual learning experiences, contributing to optimal fine motor development.

In this community service activity, the initiative was carried out with a group of residents who run home-based businesses and are part of the MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) group in RW 05 Pinang Griya. Several of these entrepreneurs—most of whom produce food and beverages—are still unfamiliar with the regulations regarding food distribution permits and halal certification for their products. This knowledge is essential to ensure that their products are recognized and guaranteed to be halal. Starting in 2026, Article 160 paragraph (2) stipulates that micro and small business actors (UMK) are subject to a phased obligation for halal certification for food products, beverages, slaughtered goods, and slaughter services. This regulation is expected to influence consumer awareness, particularly regarding the products they purchase. As Indonesia is a Muslim-majority country, such regulation will encourage UMK businesses to certify their products as halal. This, in turn, is expected to positively impact sales performance and contribute to improving the local economic conditions.

Kasturi ice is a traditional beverage from Riau, made from the kasturi fruit (Mangifera casturi). This drink has a unique taste, combining sweet and sour flavors with a distinctive aroma. More than just a thirst quencher, kasturi ice is a symbol of cultural heritage that carries historical, philosophical, and social values. Amidst globalization and the rise of modern beverage products, the existence of kasturi ice has been declining. This study aims to uncover the cultural values contained in kasturi ice and explore strategies for its preservation. A qualitative approach was used through observation, interviews, and documentation of social activities. The results indicate that preserving kasturi ice can be achieved through innovative, educational, and participatory approaches to ensure its relevance in the modern era. Kasturi ice should be seen as part of the cultural identity of the Malay community in Riau that must be preserved and passed down to future generations.

Conclusion: The da'wah conducted by the Prosperous Justice Party employs sentimental, rational, and sensory strategies through social programs and institutional relations to instill Islamic political values in society.

This study aims to examine the extent to which social media is utilized in agribusiness learning among students at Universitas Adzkia. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed, using a Likert scale-based questionnaire as the research instrument. The collected data were tabulated and classified into score percentages to determine the category of social media utilization. The research was conducted from June to July 2024 using a census method, involving all 38 students enrolled in the Agribusiness Study Program at Universitas Adzkia. The findings indicate that overall, the use of social media in agribusiness learning falls into the moderate category, with a score percentage of 55.76%. When broken down into agribusiness sub-systems, the results show that the use of social media in the agricultural input supply sub-system was 55.76%, in farming activities 56.14%, agricultural product processing 49.67%, marketing 44.08%, and agribusiness support services 47.20%. These results suggest that although social media has been used in the learning process, its utilization is still at a moderate level and not yet evenly distributed across all agribusiness sub-systems. This presents both opportunities and challenges for lecturers and educational institutions to develop more innovative, technology-based learning strategies. To enhance the effectiveness of agribusiness learning, it is recommended that lecturers actively encourage students to use social media in a productive manner. This could be implemented through the assignment of structured tasks that require the use of social media platforms for academic discussions, information searches, and the creation or sharing of relevant agribusiness content. Such efforts are expected to make social media not only a tool that enriches students' learning experiences but also a means to deepen their understanding of the dynamic and ever-evolving field of agribusiness. Ultimately, integrating social media into learning can support the development of digital competencies and practical insights among agribusiness students in higher education.
