2026-09-18T09:43:34+00:00

Organic waste on campus, particularly in canteen areas, remains a challenge requiring active participation from the academic community. This community service program aimed to optimize organic food waste management at the Canteen of UIN Sulthan Thaha Saifuddin Jambi using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, involving 10 canteen vendors as active partners. Conducted from July 14, 2026, the program followed four PAR stages: planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The main activity focused on producing ecoenzyme from fresh fruit and vegetable peel waste using a ratio of 1 kg molasses, 3 kg organic waste, and 10 liters of water. Data were collected through participatory observation and documentation of waste volume and analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The results indicated improved partner awareness of waste sorting, enhanced technical skills in ecoenzyme production, and greater independence in managing the fermentation process without full reliance on the volunteer team. The resulting ecoenzyme is intended for use as a natural cleaning agent in the canteen, contributing to organic waste reduction and lower operational costs for chemical cleaning products. The program supports SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and SDG 13 (Climate Action) while demonstrating the potential of participatory approaches to foster partner ownership and program sustainability. The success of the student volunteers is evident from evaluation results showing significant improvements in three key areas for the partners: awareness of waste sorting during food preparation, technical skills in producing eco-enzymes, and independence in managing the fermentation process.

2025-09-08T13:57:39+00:00

Improving family nutrition is a crucial step toward enhancing public health, particularly for early childhood and school-aged children. Ploso Village in Wonoayu District, Sidoarjo Regency, possesses abundant local agricultural produce—specifically vegetables and fruits—yet their utilization remains limited to simple preparations. This community service initiative aims to enhance the community's knowledge and skills in transforming local produce into appealing, nutritious, and healthy desserts. The activity was conducted in three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The implementation phase involved education on balanced nutrition, alongside demonstrations and hands-on practice in making healthy vegetable- and fruit-based desserts. The results demonstrated an increase in community awareness regarding the importance of balanced nutrition, improved participant skills in processing local produce into healthy food, and fostered creativity in presenting healthy dishes that appeal to children. Furthermore, the initiative holds the potential to support family food security and create opportunities for home-based businesses utilizing local produce. Thus, training on the preparation of healthy vegetable- and fruit-based desserts serves as a valuable strategy for improving family nutrition and supporting community-level stunting prevention programs.

Stunting is a chronic nutritional issue and a public health priority in Indonesia, including in the coastal areas of Bulukumba Regency. Nutritional interventions involving food fortification with local ingredients, including fish and Ulva sp. seaweed, offer the potential to boost children's intake of protein and essential micronutrients as a strategy to prevent stunting. This community service aimed to enhance the knowledge and skills of the Barakka Fish Processing Group in Binta Rore Urban Village, Ujung Bulu District, Bulukumba Regency, regarding the production of children's snacks fortified with fish and Ulva sp. seaweed. The program comprised preparation, outreach and training, and evaluation phases, involving 20 partner members who already possessed basic skills in conventional fish processing. Pre-test and post-test results demonstrated a significant improvement in participants' understanding of food fortification, with the average score rising from 27,7 to 86,9. The training also resulted in the creation of three types of fortified snacks: nuggets, meatballs, and pizza. This initiative contributed to building the partners' capacity to process nutritious, local-resource-based foods while simultaneously creating opportunities for product development as a home-based business that supports sustainable stunting prevention efforts.

An Applied Study for Increasing Individual Taxpayer Compliance Potential from the Voluntary Disclosure Program and Tax Sanctions Perspective at KPP Pratama Malang Selatan

2026-08-31T03:11:33+00:00

This applied study aims to analyze the impact of the Voluntary Disclosure Program (PPS) and tax sanctions on the compliance of individual taxpayers at the South Malang Primary Tax Office (KPP Pratama Malang Selatan). The study employs a quantitative approach using primary data collected via questionnaires from 100 individual taxpayers. The sample was selected using simple random sampling, and the data were analyzed through multiple linear regression using SPSS. The results indicate that the PPS does not have a significant effect on individual taxpayer compliance, whereas tax sanctions have a positive and significant effect. Simultaneously, both the PPS and tax sanctions significantly influence individual taxpayer compliance. The study recommends that the South Malang Primary Tax Office strengthen its outreach regarding the types and consequences of tax sanctions, alongside the consistent and proportional application of such sanctions. This approach should be implemented preventively—through notifications and education prior to obligation deadlines—followed by enforcement actions against taxpayers who fail to fulfill their obligations.

This article presents the results of a community service initiative conducted through the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) Volunteer Program—part of the ‘KKN (Kuliah Kerja Nyata) Rekognisi’ (Recognized Community Service) scheme at the State Islamic University (UIN) Sulthan Thaha Saifuddin Jambi—aimed at enhancing the digital marketing capabilities of MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise) operators in Mendalo Darat Village. The challenge faced by the partners was the limited use of digital technology as a marketing medium for their businesses. The implementation method involved needs assessment, outreach and socialization, mentoring, and activity evaluation. The activities consisted of education and hands-on practice regarding the use of WhatsApp Business, Facebook Marketplace, and Google Maps to support business promotion. The results indicate an improvement in the knowledge and skills of MSME operators in utilizing digital platforms for marketing, thereby supporting business development and enhancing competitiveness.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are key drivers of Indonesia's economy; however, many business owners still face challenges regarding legality and digitalization, which hinder their competitiveness and market expansion. This volunteer initiative aims to enhance the legality and digitalization of MSMEs in Pematang Gajah Village, Muaro Jambi Regency, by providing assistance with obtaining the Business Identification Number (NIB) and Taxpayer Identification Number (NPWP), securing "Self-Declare" Halal Certification, and creating Google Business Profiles integrated with Google Maps. The project partners include the Pematang Gajah Village Government and local MSME owners. A participatory and collaborative approach was employed, comprising preparation, implementation, and evaluation phases. Activities included initial coordination, MSME data collection, assistance with business legalization and digitalization, and a final evaluation. The initiative successfully documented 126 MSMEs, facilitated the issuance of 28 NIBs and 2 NPWPs, supported 13 "Self-Declare" Halal Certification applications, and established digital business profiles via Google Business Profiles integrated with Google Maps. This activity improved MSME owners' understanding of the importance of business legality, digital technology utilization, and entrepreneurial capacity building, while strengthening synergy among higher education institutions, the village government, and the community in support of SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
