Implementasi Aquasmart And Wastewater Treatment Guna Meningkatkan Hasil Produksi pada Budidaya Ikan Bumdes Bio Avicenna Abyudaya Kabupaten Pekalongan
The activities are based on the issues by the community in Api-Api village regarding the management of fish and shrimp ponds. These issues include the high cost of pond cultivation, inefficient feed provision, leading to wastefulness and a decrease in the Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR). Additionally, the liquid waste from the cultivation process has not been optimally utilized or managed, resulting in environmental pollution when disposed of directly, and many fish/shrimp dying due to poor water quality. Efforts have been made to provide solutions using the Aquasmart technology system: Smart Feeder Innovation and Water Quality Monitoring IoT (Internet of Things) and biofiltration technology with natural material wastewater treatment as a solution to the wastewater problems caused by feed materials and fish/shrimp waste.The activities were implemented in stages, starting with socializing and introducing the Aquasmart system and the use of simple biofilter wastewater treatment at the house of the headman of Api-Api. After that, the implementation of the Aquasmart system was carried out directly at the ponds managed by BUMDes (Village-Owned Enterprise) together with BUMDes members and the pond management community. The result showed that the community and BUMDes members reached new knowledge and skills related to pond management technology for fish and shrimp. The satisfaction level of the participants in the socialization and implementation of the activities showed above 50%, that indicating the participants were satisfied with the activities. The technology provided is expected to reduce the issues in pond management.

Sosialisasi Bijak Menggunakan Gadget untuk Edukasi Orang Tua dalam Mendampingi Anak Belajar
The use of gadgets has become an essential part of daily life, including in supporting children’s learning processes. Gadgets provide wide access to information, interactive educational applications, and opportunities to develop digital skills. However, excessive use without proper guidance can lead to negative impacts such as physical health problems, digital addiction, decreased concentration, and reduced social interaction. These challenges highlight the crucial role of parents as guides, supervisors, and role models in ensuring wise gadget use. This community service program aimed to educate parents, particularly PKK mothers in Dawung Village, on practical strategies for accompanying children in their use of gadgets. The activities were carried out through socialization sessions, interactive discussions, and quizzes. The discussion revealed major issues faced by parents, such as difficulty in limiting screen time, children’s preference for gaming over learning, and limited knowledge of educational applications. Meanwhile, the quiz results indicated that most participants achieved “good” (45%) and “very good” (37.5%) categories, with an average score of 72, showing improved understanding after the program. This program concludes that family digital literacy can be strengthened through interactive socialization that actively involves participants. With consistent parental guidance, gadgets can be directed to become a healthy, productive, and safe learning tool for children’s development.

Peningkatan Pengetahuan dan Skrining Anemia pada Remaja Putri SMP Negeri 11 Denpasar
Anemia is characterized by low Hemoglobin (Hb) levels, which is a major health problem affecting adolescent girls, with a prevalence that remains relatively high. Anemia in adolescent girls is largely caused by increased iron requirements during puberty and blood loss during menstruation. Untreated anemia can continue into pregnancy and affect the health of both mother and child. This activity aimed to educate and screen 40 female students at SMP Negeri 11 Denpasar for anemia. The methods used include health education through interactive counseling, Hb level screening using photometry, the formation of adolescent health cadres and data analysis using statistical tests to determine the increase in knowledge. The screening results showed that 9 participants had symptoms of anemia with Hb <12 g/dL. The counseling session successfully increased the participant’s knowledge significantly, with the average post-test score jumping from 56 to 76 compared to the pre-test results. Although the educational intervention proved to be effective in increasing knowledge about anemia, the importance of follow-up medical treatment and continuous monitoring is very much needed. This activity successfully increased adolescent girls’ knowledge about anemia. However, follow-up in the form of iron tablets and dietary changes is required. Continuous intervention with the involvement of families and schools is expected to reduce the prevalence of anemia and improve the health quality of adolescent girls in the area.

Digitalisasi Operasional UMKM Indekos: Implementasi Aplikasi Manajemen Penghuni, Pembayaran, dan Keluhan di Kota Medan
MSME 'Indekos' (boarding houses) in Medan City are generally still managed manually, causing partners to face fundamental problems in service and administration. The billing process, reliant on face-to-face meetings, makes tracking payments difficult, while tenants are often late paying due to a lack of reminders. Furthermore, the absence of a documented complaint channel means owners often forget to follow up on issues. This community service (PKM) activity aimed to overcome these problems through operational digitalization. The priority problems addressed were (1) the digitalization of billing and payments to provide real-time arrears information, and (2) the provision of a documented complaint channel with status tracking. The PKM method involved Training and Mentoring for 3 'indekos' owners in Medan City. The science-and-technology (ipteks) solution, a web-based management application, was developed using the adaptive Extreme Programming (XP) methodology, allowing iterative improvements based on partner feedback. Implementation included business process mapping (Planning), application installation (Small Releases), and guided testing (Testing/Feedback). The result of this activity is a ready-to-use application (PHP/MySQL) delivered to partners, along with operational SOPs and training modules. The implementation successfully improved the owners' administrative efficiency and service transparency for tenants.

Pentingnya Gizi dan Pengelolaan Stres dalam Menjaga Kesehatan Reproduksi Remaja Putri: Upaya Pencegahan Polimenorea
Polymenorrhea is a menstrual cycle disorder characterized by an interval of less than 21 days, indicating an imbalance in reproductive hormones among adolescent girls. This condition not only causes physical discomfort such as fatigue, abdominal pain, and excessive bleeding but also affects psychological well-being, leading to stress, anxiety, and decreased learning concentration. One of the major contributing factors to polymenorrhea in adolescents is nutritional imbalance combined with poor stress management skills. Preliminary observations revealed that adolescent girls in RW 01, Mangunharjo Village, experienced a high prevalence of polymenorrhea, low knowledge of balanced nutrition, and high levels of academic and social stress. This community service program aims to improve adolescents’ knowledge and skills regarding reproductive health, balanced nutrition, and stress management as preventive measures against menstrual cycle disorders. The activities were conducted through interactive education sessions, personal mentoring, and regular monitoring of behavioral changes and menstrual patterns. The educational approach emphasized active participation and direct application in daily life. It is expected that this structured intervention will enhance adolescents’ awareness and adoption of healthy lifestyle behaviors, reduce the incidence of polymenorrhea, and promote sustainable physical and mental well-being. Furthermore, the outcomes of this program are expected to serve as a model for empowering adolescents to maintain reproductive health through simple, non-pharmacological, and community-based approaches.

Edukasi dan Pemeriksaan Gula Darah untuk Hidup Sehat Bebas Diabetes di Sungai Keledang
Chronic diseases are non-communicable conditions that require a long time to heal and account for 70% of global deaths according to WHO (2024). One of the most common chronic diseases is diabetes mellitus, which requires medical treatment, self-management education, and continuous support to prevent complications. The International Diabetes Federation (2017) reported that the number of people with diabetes reached 427 million and is projected to increase to 629 million by 2045, with Indonesia ranking as the third-highest contributor globally. Poor diabetes management is often caused by patients’ noncompliance with healthy diet, exercise, and medication. The community still has limited understanding of the importance of blood glucose testing and proper care for family members with diabetes. Educational and blood glucose screening activities were carried out in Sungai Keledang Village, Samarinda Seberang, over three days in September 2025. The methods used included health education, interactive discussions, and blood glucose examinations. The results showed an increase in participants’ knowledge based on pretest and posttest scores on diabetes mellitus. The community was also actively involved in the screening and health education sessions.

Pengaruh Adopsi Teknologi, Luas Lahan, dan Pendidikan Formal pada Petani Milenial di Kabupaten Brebes terhadap Ketahanan Pangan Rumah Tangga
This study aims to analyze the influence of agricultural technology adoption, land size, and formal education on household food security among millennial farmers in Brebes Regency. The impetus for this research arises from the significant role of younger generations as catalysts for agricultural transformation in the face of challenges such as land fragmentation, rice price volatility, and climate change, which jeopardize the stability of regional food security. This study employs a quantitative method with a survey approach involving 30 millennial rice farmers selected purposively. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the aid of SPSS software. The results show that simultaneously, agricultural technology adoption, land size, and formal education significantly affect household food security among millennial farmers, with an F-value of 9.634 and a significance level of 0.000 (<0.05). Partially, agricultural technology adoption and formal education have a positive and significant effect on food security, while land size has no significant effect. The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.526 indicates that these three variables explain 52.6% of the variation in household food security, while other factors may influence a larger portion of the variation. These findings emphasize that the food security of millennial farmers in Brebes Regency is more strongly determined by the level of technology adoption and formal education than by land size. Therefore, strategies to enhance food security should focus on agricultural modernization based on technology and the improvement of human resource capacity through education and training.

Pengembangan Desa Air Mesu Timur sebagai Sentral Produsen Bawang Merah di Pulau Bangka
The Bangka Belitung Islands are one of the regions with high shallot consumption. This is not comparable to the total local shallot production on Bangka Island, so it must be supplied from outside the region. Central Bangka Regency is the center of horticultural commodity production on Bangka Island. Air Mesu Timur Village has the potential to become a shallot production center on Bangka Island, but its development is hampered by limited business capital, low-quality seeds, and suboptimal implementation of standard operating procedures (SOPs) for cultivation. The Timur Makmur Farmers Group is one of the shallot producers in Air Mesu Timur Village. This activity aims to improve the implementation of SOPs for shallot cultivation and increase local farmers' yields. The program methods include Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), provision and delivery of production facilities and infrastructure, shallot cultivation demonstration plots, and shallot marketing. Community service activities will be carried out from June to September 2025 at the Timur Makmur Farmers Group's garden in Air Mesu Timur Village. The results of the activity showed increased farmer interest in growing shallots, and the demonstration plot was able to produce 500 kg of fresh bulbs from 50 kg of seeds, equivalent to a yield ratio of 1:10. The results of the agricultural business analysis showed that shallot cultivation in Air Mesu Timur Village produced a R/C ratio of 1.43. This indicates that the cultivation effort is economically profitable. Based on this activity, it was discovered that implementing the SOP for shallot cultivation typical of Bangka Island can increase shallot production and productivity on Bangka Island.

Implementation methods include outreach, theoretical training, and intensive practical mentoring. The activity stages are systematically designed, starting with needs analysis and program implementation, and ending with impact evaluation, measured by increasing empowerment levels. The results demonstrate significant improvements in digital literacy and financial management skills among participants. 85% of participants are able to create promotional content for products on social media, and 92% understand the basic concepts of simple financial record keeping. Close collaboration with the village government also strengthens program synergy, aligning with the regional development vision. The program has not only succeeded in improving technical capacity but also fostering an entrepreneurial spirit and independence, which are essential foundations for the economic sustainability of local communities.
