2025-10-19T06:38:35+00:00

The International Labor Organization (ILO) reports that 2 million people die in the workplace, one of the causes being overexertion. Herbal saunas are decoctions of plants with medicinal properties, including anti-fatigue. Warm steam applied to the skin helps dilate blood vessels, improving circulation. The purpose of this activity was to provide knowledge about various medicinal plants that can be used as herbal saunas and to provide community members with skills in making herbal saunas. The PKM method involved participation through outreach and mentoring women in preparing herbal saunas. The activity took place on July 27, 2025, in Alue Deah Teungoh Village, with 15 women participating in the Family Welfare Movement (PKK). The activity began with a pre-test and then a herbal sauna booklet. The results of this activity were an increase in the knowledge and skills of the PKK women, demonstrated by the resulting product, a dried herbal sauna packaged in a standing pouch. Participants were very enthusiastic about the training. The activity concluded with the use of herbal saunas, which were boiled in a steamer and the steam flowed into a portable sauna tent. Participants took turns using the sauna, which had been filled with the herbal sauna decoction.

This Community Service (PKM) activity aims to increase the capacity of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Marindal Village to utilize digital marketing as a marketing strategy to expand their market and increase sales. The methods used included situational analysis, training, mentoring, and evaluation using pre- and post-test instruments. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of digital marketing concepts (28% to 90%), business account creation skills (15% to 80%), and digital content creation skills (10% to 75%). In addition, there was a shift in marketing patterns from conventional to digital-based systems, which resulted in increased product visibility and business confidence in managing their businesses. However, challenges such as limited internet infrastructure, low digital literacy among some participants, and a lack of consistent promotions remain obstacles that need to be overcome. This PKM activity concluded that implementing digital marketing is an effective strategy in increasing the competitiveness of SMEs, with the note that ongoing mentoring and digital infrastructure support are needed.

EMPOWERING FARMERS THROUGH THE UTILIZATION OF OWL HOUSE INNOVATION (RUBUHA) IN CONTROLLING RICE FIELD RAT PESTS FOR FOOD SECURITY

2025-11-01T23:05:22+00:00

Rat (Rattus spp.) pest infestations are a major constraint to rice productivity in Pidie Jaya Regency, Aceh, with potential losses reaching 60–70% and even crop failure. Conventional methods currently used by farmers, such as chemical rodenticides and electric traps, have proven ineffective in the long term and have negative ecological impacts. This Community Service (PKM) activity introduced the Owl House (RUBUHA) innovation as a sustainable biological control approach by involving farmer groups in Meurah Dua Sub District. The implementation method includes five stages: socialization, theoretical and practical training (30%–70%), application of RUBUHA in demonstration plots, intensive mentoring, and development of sustainability strategies. Evaluation of farmer knowledge was conducted through pre- and post-tests, while productivity impacts were measured based on harvest data before and after technology implementation. The implementation results showed an increase in rice productivity from 6.1 tons/ha to 7.2 tons/ha, with an estimated additional income of IDR 5–6 million/ha. Farmers' knowledge and skills increased by 70%, indicating the success of learning-by-doing-based technology transfer. In addition to economic benefits, the implementation of RUBUHA also reduces the use of chemical rodenticides, thus positively impacting the environment. The results of this PKM are not only relevant in supporting local food security and farmer welfare but also align with the achievement of the SDGs. Replication Innovation Rubuha to other regions is recommended as part of a community-based Integrated Pest Management strategy.
