versities in Indonesia. Thematic analysis reveals that social media use contributes to various aspects of mental health, including anxiety, depression, and self-image disorders. The study identifies that interactions on social media often trigger social comparison and unrealistic expectations about personal life, contributing to a decline in psychological well-being. However, the results also indicate that social media can be a useful tool for supporting mental health, particularly through support communities and awareness of mental health issues. The researchers suggest a need to increase awareness of healthy and constructive social media use among students. This study also emphasizes the importance of mental health education and intervention programs in educational institutions. These results provide insights for policymakers, educators, and mental health practitioners in developing effective strategies to support the mental health of students in the digital era. This study paves the way for further research on the specific impact of social media features and algorithms on student mental health.

gap between the academic world and the workforce. Although it has been widely adopted in various universities, the efficiency of this program in enhancing students’ job readiness remains a key question. The aim of this research is to evaluate the implementation of the MBKM program and its impact on students’ job preparation, including both soft skills and hard skills. The background of the issue reveals a gap between higher education graduates’ competencies and the needs of the workforce, which has driven the government to initiate the MBKM policy as a solution to better prepare students for the dynamics of the labor market. The research problem focuses on the effectiveness of MBKM program implementation across various universities and how it affects students’ job readiness. Through a comprehensive literature review method, this study analyzes various scientific publications, policy reports, and evaluation studies related to MBKM from 2020 to 2024. The findings indicate that the implementation of MBKM still varies across higher education institutions with several challenges, such as infrastructure readiness, administrative systems, and stakeholder understanding. However, a positive correlation was found between student participation in the MBKM program, particularly in industry internships and collaborative projects, and improvements in adaptability, problem-solving skills, and technical competencies needed in the workforce. The novelty of this research lies in the comprehensive mapping of critical factors in the implementation of MBKM as well as the development of a sustainable evaluation framework that universities can use to enhance the effectiveness of the MBKM program in preparing graduates who are job-ready and globally competitive.

ns as it depends on weather conditions, requires 2–3 days, and produces products that are less hygienic and inconsistent in quality. The purpose of this activity is to provide a solution through mentoring and training in the use of the electric emping melinjo dryer (KEPINGJO) so that partners are able to operate the equipment and increase production capacity. The implementation method includes several stages: preparation, technology socialization, training, trials, evaluation, and mentoring. The results show that the partners actively participated and were able to operate the equipment independently. The use of the electric dryer resulted in a reduction from 1 kg to 0.64 kg within 1 hour at a temperature of 55 °C, which is much faster than the traditional drying method that takes 2–3 days. In addition, the moisture content of emping melinjo, initially 29% in the wet condition, decreased to 9.5% after the drying process using the electric dryer. The final product is more hygienic, evenly dried, and has a longer shelf life. The application of the KEPINGJO electric dryer has proven to increase productivity, product quality, and household income while strengthening the role of universities in delivering appropriate technological innovations.

sions that can be generalized to a wider population, statistics is needed. Such research is quantitative research with a positivistic paradigm, ie a phenomenon is real if it can be seen, measured, and classified. The application of statistical science which is generally needed by students in writing research such as theses and theses, will have a positive impact, especially in improving the quality of the research. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to conduct socialization to students. The socialization was carried out to several students from both state universities and private universities in the city of Palembang. The socialization was done by introducing and giving tutorials on how to use statistical applications such as SPSS and Eviews, because several lecturers at several universities in Palembang complained about the poor quality of research and some said that their students did not really understand how to use SPSS and Eviews. The first result of this service is that students' understanding of SPSS and Eviews can be seen from discussions and questions and answers, second, namely the ability of students to apply the use of SPSS and Eviews in research.

Abstrak: Statistik dan penelitian merupakan dua hal yang tidak bisa dipisahkan. Meskipun ada jenis penelitian yang tidak membutuhkan peranan statistika yang dominan (penelitian kualitatif), namun untuk dapat menghasilkan kesimpulan yang dapat digeneralisasikan ke populasi yang lebih luas diperlukan ilmu statistika. Penelitian yang demikian adalah penelitian kuantitatif dengan paradigma yang positivistik, yakni suatu gejala itu adalah nyata jika bisa dilihat, diukur, dan diklasifikasikan. Penerapan ilmu statistik yang umumnya dibutuhkan mahasiswa dalam penulisan penelitian seperti skripsi dan tesis, akan berdampak positif terutama dalam meningkatan kualitas penelitian tersebut. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut maka perlu diadakan sosialisasi kepada mahasiswa. Sosialisasi dilakukan pada beberapa mahasiswa baik dari perguruan tinggi negeri maupun perguruan tinggi swasta di Kota Palembang. Sosialisasi dilakukan dengan cara mengenalkan dan memberikan tutorial bagaimana penggunaan aplikasi statistic seperti, SPSS dan Eviews, karena beberapa dosen di beberapa universitas di Palembang mengeluhkan buruknya kualitas penelitian dan ada juga yang mengatakan bahwa mahasiswa mereka tidak begitu mengerti cara penggunaan SPSS dan Eviews. Hasil dari pengabdian ini yang pertama adalah pemahaman mahasiswa mengenai SPSS dan Eviews dapat dilihat dari diskusi dan tanya jawab, kedua yaitu kemampuan mahasiswa dalam menerapkan penggunaan SPSS dan Eviews dalam penelitian.

educational background. students, for example, because they are deemed to have taken higher education and are accused of writing from assignments given by the lecturer. The low number of writers in Indonesia means that scientific publications in Indonesia are still inadequate. In 2019, Indonesia succeeded in publishing the most scientific papers when compared to other ASEAN countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. However, this figure is still insufficient, so that efforts are needed to increase the number and quality of good research writing. This activity aims to help make it happen. The target of this activity is students, both from public and private universities in Palembang City. The methods used in this PkM activity were material presentation, practical assistance, and discussion together. Based on the results of the questionnaire answers from 36 participants, the majority of participants agreed that this activity provided new knowledge and information in the topic of research writing. In addition, most of the participants also found this training interesting and made them excited to write a good research. So it can be concluded that the majority of students are not proficient in using Mendeley and Grammarly software and feel that both software can make writing their research easier.

Abstrak: Menulis merupakan suatu kegiatan untuk mengungkapkan gagasan atau gagasan yang ada di benak seseorang. setiap orang pasti punya ide atau ide, tapi tidak semua orang mampu menuliskan ide-ide tersebut. bahkan ada yang beranggapan bahwa menulis membutuhkan latar belakang pendidikan yang tinggi. mahasiswa, misalnya, karena dianggap telah menempuh pendidikan tinggi dan dituduh menulis dari tugas-tugas yang diberikan dosen. Rendahnya jumlah penulis di Indonesia membuat publikasi ilmiah di Indonesia masih kurang mencukupi. Pada tahun 2019, Indonesia berhasil menerbitkan karya ilmiah terbanyak jika dibandingkan dengan negara ASEAN lainnya seperti Singapura, Malaysia, dan Thailand. Namun angka tersebut masih belum mencukupi, sehingga diperlukan upaya untuk meningkatkan jumlah dan kualitas penulisan penelitian yang baik. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk membantu mewujudkannya. Sasaran kegiatan ini adalah para mahasiswa, baik dari perguruan tinggi negeri maupun perguruan tinggi swasta di Kota Palembang. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan PkM ini adalah Pelatihan. Berdasarkan hasil jawaban kuisioner dari 36 peserta, mayoritas peserta sepakat bahwa kegiatan ini memberikan pengetahuan dan informasi baru dalam topik penulisan penelitian. Selain itu, sebagian besar peserta juga menganggap pelatihan ini menarik dan membuat mereka bersemangat untuk menulis penelitian dengan baik. Maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa mayoritas mahasiswa belum mahir menggunakan software Mendeley dan Grammarly dan merasakan bahwa kedua software tersebut dapat mempermudah penulisan riset mereka.
