Unequal power relationships between lecturers and students often lead to sexual assault in universities. Students who were victims of sexual violence were hesitant to disclose incidences of violence on campus because they were terrified, humiliated, or unsure how to do so. The team found that students lack understanding of the concept and forms of sexual violence, are unsure of how to report violence or sexual harassment, and are not aware of the formation of a Prevention Task Force to address sexual violence in the Nusa Cendana university setting. The goal of this service project is for students to learn about the various types of sexual violence and how to report it if it occurs on campus. The service activity employs a participatory method. This activity results in the election of Anti-Sexual Violence Ambassadors who serve as champions or spokespersons for preventing and overcoming sexual violence among students, and students are becoming more conscious of all sorts of sexual violence on campus.</em></p> Susana C.

Rengginang Masagena is one of the commercial products in Masagena Village, Konda District, which is produced by a community business group. However, the obstacle faced by this group is the lack of understanding of partners to improve the quality of packaging so that product sales slow down. This can be done especially to increase community income. The implementation of this service aims to help partners improve their knowledge and quality of packaging through training and direct materials. The results of the community service show that the knowledge and understanding of partners has increased significantly regarding the benefits of using standing pouches as new packaging to replace previously used plastic bags, and the knowledge of partners regarding their use. Likewise with the use of vacuum equipment and packaging presses used in rengginang packaging where partners improve in terms of understanding and direct practice, then partners also understand how to design and create brands/brands in packaging so that partners have products that have brands that ultimately the team hopes that partners can improve the quality and sales of rengginang products.</em></p> Syahruddin Syahruddin Ahmad Hamid Jasman Jasman Paramitha Purwitasari Hasdi Syahid Kasim Abdul Sarlan Menungsa Andi Juliana Roro Cahyani Copyright (c) 2024 Abdimas Universal 2024-09-11 2024-09-11 7 1 10 17 10.36277/abdimasuniversal.v7i1.525 Pemetaan Kebersihan dan Perilaku Aman Pangan (PEKA-PANGAN) Sebagai Upaya Peningkatan Derajat Kesehatan Masyarakat Tanjung Beringin https://abdimasuniversal.uniba-bpn.ac.id/index.php/abdimasuniversal/article/view/526 <p><em>Food safety is a global issue that directly affects a person's health.

To achieve these objectives, several strategies are employed: awareness campaigns about proper sanitation, provision of squat toilets to the less fortunate, and support in policy-making for sanitation program implementation. The outcomes of this community service include: (1) improved understanding of clean living practices through awareness campaigns, (2) distribution of seated toilets to the needy who lack such facilities, and; (3) drafting policies for the implementation of sanitation programs.

The geographical condition of Balikpapan, which is susceptible to natural disasters such as landslides, floods, and fires, presents additional obstacles to the provision of safe and secure housing infrastructure. An example of this is the landslide disaster that happened in Karang Joang Village in 2021, which was caused by a lack of awareness regarding the safety and security of residential construction. The resulting damage to numerous houses in the village was significant. This paper tries to examine the practical implementation of construction safety standards in residential homes, including the use of safe building techniques and appropriate materials, through community service activities. This program provided the community with a more comprehensive understanding of disaster risk management and enhanced their ability to take proactive and reactive measures in the event of an emergency. The results of the questionnaire distribution shows that there was a significant difference in the level of community knowledge. In terms of construction design knowledge, more than 50% (from 3 people to 13 people) of residents answered that they already knew the safe construction design after listening to the community service presentation. The same result also occurred in the knowledge of methods, more than 50% (from 3 people to 11 people) of respondents have known the right construction method for their area after attending this community service presentation.</em></p> Indira Anggriani Riyan Benny Sukmara Ariyaningsih Ariyaningsih Copyright (c) 2024 Abdimas Universal 2024-09-16 2024-09-16 7 1 39 45 10.36277/abdimasuniversal.v7i1.521 Strategi Pemanfaatan Nanas Lokal Melalui Diversifikasi Sirup dalam Pemberdayaan UMKM di Desa Tanjung Baru https://abdimasuniversal.uniba-bpn.ac.id/index.php/abdimasuniversal/article/view/542 <p><em>Most farmers in Tanjung Baru Village sell pineapples directly without processing, leading to suboptimal economic value.

Based on these problems, the Physics Laboratory of Universitas Trisakti held a Community Service (PkM) activity in collaboration with MGMP IPA of Tangerang. Service activities are carried out in the form of training for science teachers with training materials to improve brain memory abilities and training on the digitalization of science learning with ThingLink interactive media. Teachers are often faced with various challenges in teaching, including the complexity of science material, the rapid development of science and the high workload of teachers. Training to improve brain memory abilities can help improve teachers' ability to remember information, focus and concentrate. Furthermore, training on digitizing science learning using ThingLink is considered important to carry out. ThingLink is a digital platform that allows the creation of interactive science learning content, simulations and virtual experiments that are interesting and easy for students to understand.
