It is important to recognize that globalization has had a significant impact on the world of work. In this context, many companies recognize that cross-cultural communication skills are key to facilitating effective interactions between workers who come from heterogeneous cultural backgrounds. In addition, the phenomenon of an increasing number of individuals migrating from one country to another further strengthens the urgency of developing cross-cultural communication skills in the educational realm. The topic raised in this community service activity is in accordance with the needs of Sabilul Rahmah International Islamic Boarding School (Sabira-IIBS). Located in Sumberam, Sajen, Pacet, Mojokerto, East Java, Sabira IIBS is a pesantren education institution and Madrasah Aliyah (MA) level school with a learning system that combines traditional pesantren Islamic values with modern learning. The curriculum used is based on the national curriculum & international curriculum (Al Azhar University for diniyah & Cambridge for Math, Science & English). The school aims to prepare its graduates to become agents of change in accordance with the purpose of the graduation designation. Most santri are encouraged to continue their studies to favorite universities both domestically and abroad. This community service activity was carried out through collaboration between the Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Surabaya and UniMap Malaysia Perlis. Based on the activities that have been carried out, it can be concluded that after the activity takes place there is an increase in the knowledge and understanding of the participants related to cross-cultural communication from an average understanding of 1.1 on a scale of 4 to 3.7 on a scale of 4. This indicates that the joint community service activities carried out by the academics of FIB Untag Surabaya in collaboration with the academics of Universiti Malaysia Perlis completed successfully and can achieve the goals or targets of this activity. As a result, this activity had a positive impact on increasing the knowledge and understanding of students of partners’ institution.

Integrating technology into physics education is critical in preparing students with 21st-century skills. However, many physics teachers in Indonesia face challenges, including limited access to technological tools, insufficient training, and low confidence in using technology. This study aimed to explore the perspectives of physics teachers on a workshop designed to empower them in developing technology-based teaching materials. The workshop, held in Bandung Barat, provided hands-on training on integrating various technologies, such as Augmented Reality, Physics Mobile, Live Worksheets, and Articulate Storylines, into physics teaching. Data were collected from 51 participating teachers using a descriptive survey method through structured questionnaires. Results indicated high satisfaction across four evaluated aspects: material comprehension (mean score: 4.29), relevance and benefits (4.15), implementation and facilitation (4.17), and outcomes and impacts (4.20). Teachers perceived an increase in their confidence and readiness tp create innovative teaching materials, though some required additional time and support for mastery. This study highlights workshops' significance in bridging the gap between technology and education. It emphasizes the need for sustained training programs and collaboration among educators, policymakers, and technology developers to enhance the quality of STEM-based physics education in Indonesia.

Elderly people with hypertension are at risk of experiencing severe cardiovascular complications. Self-management education efforts are important to increase patient independence to prevent the severity of hypertension. The purpose of this community service (PKM) is to optimize the health of the elderly and menopausal women through self-management health education as an effort to treat hypertension in Talang Jambe Village, Palembang. This PKM program began with the consolidation of the Health Office and Talang Jambe Health Center to identify participants. There were 41 elderly and menopausal participants who participated in this PKM. At the implementation stage, blood pressure, knowledge and behavior were checked. The intervention was given in four sessions with a duration of 60 minutes. The evaluation included blood pressure conditions and knowledge, and behavior of participants. A total of 39 participants completed this program. Two participants did not complete it because their health conditions did not allow it. Data analysis used frequency distribution and the Paired T test and Wilcoxon test. The results of the PKM showed a significant increase in the mean knowledge score, from 56.67 ± 6.7 to 86.08 ± 7.63 (p = 0.000), and the mean value for behavior score, from 53.9 ± 6.03 to 85.31 ± 9.24 (p = 0.000). The majority of participants initially reported low levels of activity in terms of exercise frequency, but after the intervention, there was a marked increase, with more respondents exercising three to five times a week. Furthermore, diastolic blood pressure decreased from 108.28 ± 9.8 mmHg to 99.77 ± 10.39 mmHg (p = 0.000), and systolic blood pressure decreased from 197.72 ± 15.16 mmHg to 172.64 ± 10.46 mmHg (p = 0.000). The PKM program has been shown to be effective in improving knowledge, behavior, and blood pressure control in preventing hypertension complications.
