Application of Tissue Culture in the Maintenance of Kappaphycus alvarezii Seaweed Seedlings at the Ambon BPBL Laboratory

Meillisa Carlen Mainassy — 2025-08-31

This community service activity aimed to apply tissue culture techniques for developing high-quality seedlings of Kappaphycus alvarezii (Cotoni seaweed) at the Marine Aquaculture Center (BPBL) Laboratory in Ambon. The methods involved the preparation of solid and liquid PES-based media, sterilization of tools and materials, and maintenance of micropropagules and plantlets under aseptic conditions. Observations focused on media quality, plantlet growth, and subculture frequency. Results showed that P2.5NW1PW1T and SM FITO media supported optimal plantlet development with low mortality rates, while media with high hormone concentrations induced plantlet death. The findings emphasize the importance of media formulation and water quality monitoring in tissue culture success. This program demonstrated a practical contribution to the sustainable cultivation technology of seaweed aquaculture.

The purpose of this community service research is to measure the effectiveness of basic training on the use of generative AI in assisting content production for MSMEs in Yogyakarta. This training was designed to address the main challenges faced by MSMEs, namely limited resources and expertise in creating consistent and high-quality digital marketing content. Through an interactive workshop method focused on hands-on practice, 25 MSME actors were educated on the concept of generative AI, prompt engineering techniques, and the utilization of AI tools. The evaluation results showed a significant increase in participant understanding, content quality, and time efficiency, where participant understanding jumped from 15% to 95%, content quality increased by 60%, and time efficiency improved by 40%. In conclusion, this training proves that the integration of generative AI is an effective strategic solution for empowering MSMEs, enhancing their competitiveness, and fostering sustainable business growth in the digital era.

PENINGKATAN KESADARAN GAYA HIDUP SEHAT MELALUI SKRINING DAN EDUKASI HIPERTENSI BAGI LANSIA DI POSYANDU

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease with a high prevalence, often referred to as a “silent killer” because most cases go undetected. In Indonesia, the prevalence of hypertension reaches 34.1% and increases significantly among the elderly population. Low awareness of routine check-ups, particularly in rural areas, heightens the risk of severe complications. This community service program aimed to raise awareness of healthy lifestyles through hypertension screening and education for the elderly in a village in West Java. The program was carried out using a participatory approach involving older adults, community health volunteers (posyandu cadres), healthcare workers, and village officials. A total of 52 elderly participants underwent blood pressure screening, which revealed that 40.4% were normal, 34.6% were pre-hypertensive, and 25.0% had hypertension. These findings highlight that nearly 60% of participants were either at risk or already suffering from hypertension.Interactive health education using simple media proved effective, as demonstrated by an increase in knowledge levels from 28.8% before the program to 75.0% after. The level of participation was also high, with 88.5% of elderly participants actively engaging in discussions. The involvement of posyandu cadres further strengthened the program by supporting routine monitoring and reinforcing healthy lifestyle reminders. This initiative successfully enhanced early detection, knowledge, and awareness among the elderly in preventing and managing hypertension.

Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk mengoptimalisasi pelayanan publik di Kantor Kelurahan Karang Mumus, Samarinda, melalui digitalisasi arsip surat menyurat yang selama ini masih dilakukan secara konvensional. Metode yang digunakan dalam pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah pelatihan dan pendampingan praktis yang dilaksanakan dalam satu hari, yaitu pada 20 Juni 2025. Efektivitas program diukur secara kuantitatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan pre-test dan post-test. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan adanya peningkatan signifikan pada rata-rata nilai staf, dari 46 pada pre-test menjadi 92 pada post-test. Peningkatan hampir sebesar 100% ini membuktikan bahwa program pelatihan dan pendampingan yang singkat sangat efektif dalam meningkatkan pemahaman dan keterampilan staf. Meskipun program satu hari ini berhasil memberikan bekal dasar, disimpulkan bahwa keberlanjutan dan keberhasilan jangka panjang membutuhkan pengembangan lebih lanjut, seperti pendampingan berkala dan implementasi sistem manajemen arsip elektronik (E-Arsip) yang lebih komprehensif.

The rapid development of social media has made Generation Z strongly attached to the digital world. This condition presents both opportunities and challenges, especially for junior high school students who are still in the process of character formation. Islamic values need to be integrated into social media use so that students can become wise users. Based on this issue, the team conducted a Community Service Program (PKM) at SMP Muhammadiyah 3 Semarang on June 27, 2025, coinciding with 1 Muharram 1447 H (Islamic New Year). This momentum was chosen because it is rich in meaning of hijrah, introspection, and new resolutions, which align with the program's goal of promoting digital hijrah. The method involved socialization with the principal, teachers, and the school committee, followed by interactive seminars and workshops for students. The materials focused on Islamic digital ethics, self-control in using social media, and the Prophet Muhammad's exemplary communication practices. The results showed high enthusiasm from students who actively engaged in discussions, teachers' awareness of their role as digital role models, and parents gaining new insights into guiding their children. The discussions also produced an agreement to draft an Islamic digital ethics guideline for the school. In conclusion, this PKM effectively raised awareness of the importance of Islamic digital ethics in the social media era. The recommendation is to sustain the program through follow-up workshops, strengthening school–parent collaboration, and involving the student council (OSIS) as agents of positive change.
