There is a lack of qualified mentors or other resources and support. So, every startup from campus that has just started a business immediately loses enthusiasm and motivation because there is no continuous assistance. The method used to resolve this problem is assistance to improve student startup skills in providing competent human resources, financial assistance, and financial management literacy for student startups, providing facilities in the form of booths and business facilities, training and guidance to improve business management skills, and marketing. This program's online and offline results are characterized by opening up valuable opportunities for students to develop digital business ideas and promote sustainable business principles, allowing student businesses to contribute to sustainable growth.

Most of the Indonesian population still relies on the agriculture, plantation and livestock sectors to drive the economy. By-products in the form of waste are generally used as fertilizer which can actually be used as an alternative energy source. Biogas is a renewable energy produced through the process of anaerobic digestion of organic materials which is currently widely used by the community as an alternative energy to replace LPG for cooking and generator fuel to produce electricity. One of the utilization of non-hazardous biomass waste into energy in the form of biogas has been implemented in Tadukan Raga village in Sinembah Tanjung Muda (STM) Hilir District, Deli Serdang Regency which has been operated since 2018 and is equipped with a barn for mushroom cultivation. However, problems arise where the facility is abandoned where there is a lack of maintenance of biogas generation facilities and mushroom barns, lack of human resources and low understanding of the community, especially BUMDes in the management, development and business maintenance of this facility. Therefore, it is necessary to provide counseling and training to the community in the operation of biogas facilities, revitalize mushroom barns in biomass non-b3 waste utilization facilities and modify LPG stoves into biogas stoves and install stoves in residents' homes around Tungkusan hamlet. Tadukan Raga Village itself is a fostered village that has been used as a place for counseling and service from the University of North Sumatra to the community because there are still several things that need to be improved, so counseling is again carried out in this village.

2024-07-15T16:03:02+07:00

Until now, there has been a tendency for dengue fever patients to increase, and its transmission has become one of Indonesia's most common public health problems. Getting rid of mosquito nest eradication (MNE) with the 3M Plus Movement regularly, which includes draining water reservoirs, burying used items, and closing water reservoirs, which make it harder for mosquitoes to breed, can stop the spread of dengue. Even though this disease can attack all groups, several studies have shown that children and teenagers are more susceptible to dengue fever, so it is essential to make efforts to increase understanding and education for school-aged children, including high school students and teachers, who must work together to prevent dengue fever. As a result, the community service team from the Medical Faculty of Universitas Sumatera Utara carried out this activity using an outreach strategy that included questions and answers with students about MNE, Clean and Healthy Living Behavior, and other topics as well as the actual implementation of 3M Plus. A good understanding of MNE among students and teachers allows for the formation of awareness of MNE's significance in the school environment, which is the outcome of this activity.
