Khoirotul Bariyah, Dyta Agnes Layung Sari, Muh. Irfan Mukhlishin — Thu, 31 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The globalization era is accompanied by a massive influx of foreign cultures, resulting in the nation's noble values being easily eroded, exacerbated by the young generation's lack of understanding of the nation's historical struggles. At an early age, children experience a growth in high absorption capacity, which can have a lasting impact and remain throughout their lives. Therefore, instilling values of patriotism from an early age is highly relevant and urgent. The method employs a collaborative approach, focusing on inspiring stories about national heroes and historical events. This is chosen based on its suitability for the characteristics of early-age children who enjoy narrative and imagination at Sejahtera Tunggulwulung PAUD. This activity includes the introduction of national hero figures, inspirational stories about these heroes, accounts of historical events related to the nation's struggle, and singing national songs. The results show an increase in children's enthusiasm for historical stories, their ability to remember several important figures or events, and a rise in children's interest in national topics, as indicated by the questions about heroes. This activity successfully laid the foundation for instilling a sense of love for the homeland and pride in national identity in children.

Sun, 03 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The coastal area of Lembar District, West Lombok, has great potential in cultivating marine ornamental fish such as clownfish and blue tang, but water pollution due to Lembar Port activities has caused a decline in water quality and low fish survival. This community service aims to increase the capacity of farmers in managing water quality through the application of protein skimmer technology, a tool that can remove dissolved organic particles from seawater. The activity was carried out in six stages, namely location survey, socialization, training, technology application, mentoring and evaluation, and program sustainability. The results of the activity showed that partners experienced an increase in understanding of the importance of water quality and skills in using protein skimmers. In addition, the condition of the cultivation environment became more stable and supported the growth of ornamental fish. With a participatory approach and the application of appropriate technology, this activity was able to provide a positive impact. This program is expected to be a pilot model for other coastal areas in the development of sustainable marine ornamental fish cultivation.

The results of the community service indicate that TPQ teachers can appreciate the importance of learning evaluation and are capable of creating standardized assessments using student achievement records.

Fri, 22 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This community service activity aimed to raise public awareness regarding the health benefits of probiotics and the importance of environmental responsibility in managing plastic waste. Awareness of healthy lifestyles, especially in the consumption of functional foods like probiotics, is still relatively low among Indonesian students.

Additionally, plastic waste from product packaging remains an environmental issue. This program implemented a practical and educational approach through socialization, field observation, and an industrial visit to PT Yakult Indonesia Persada in Mojokerto on June 24, 2025. The activity involved 120 participants aged 18–30, including students and young educators. They received information about probiotics and health, observed the production process, and learned about sustainable waste management based on the 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) principles. The results showed increased knowledge and motivation among participants to adopt healthier and more environmentally conscious behavior.
