This community service activity was motivated by the low literacy of students in utilizing reference management applications in the preparation of scientific papers. The objective of the activity was to improve students' understanding and skills in using Mendeley effectively and independently. The implementation method included training, development of a guide module, integration of use in lecture assignments, as well as mentoring and evaluation. The results of the activity showed significant improvements, where 100% of participants were able to use Mendeley for citations and automatic bibliography compilation independently. In addition, there was an increase in the timeliness of assignment submissions and the quality of students' scientific writing. This comprehensive and sustainable approach has proven effective in forming more systematic and technology-based academic habits. This activity has the potential to be implemented more widely to support improving the quality of scientific writing in higher education.

Introduction: Hardiness is a frequently studied psychological concept, but in the context of sports, there have been few studies, particularly on testing instruments that encapsulate this construct. Objective: To adapt the language and test the validity and reliability of the Revised Athletic Hardiness Scale (RAHS) in the context of Indonesian sports students. Methodology: A total of 189 sports students participated in this study: 135 (71.43%) were male and 54 (28.57%) were female. The sports students ranged in age from 18 to 22, with an average age of 19.48 (± 0.879). In addition to the RAHS, two other standardized instruments, MTI and SWLS, were used to test validity. Results: The CFA test results showed a good fit with the data, with a chi-square (χ2) value of 89.910 (p < 0.001), CFI = 0.936, TLI = 0.914, RMSEA = 0.080, and SRMR = 0.048. RAHSid correlated significantly with MTI (p < 0.001) and did not correlate significantly with SWLS (p > 0.05). RAHSid had high reliability, both in McDonald's omega (α) and Cronbach's alpha (α), with reliability values ranging from 0.723 to 0.840 for each dimension. Discussion: The Indonesian version of RAHSid consists of 11 items, differing from the original version, which had 12. However, psychometrically, RAHSid is a three-factor model consisting of commitment, control, and challenge, confirming the original version. Conclusions: RAHSid is a valid and reliable instrument in revealing hardiness, so that the instrument can be used to reveal hardiness in the Indonesian context, especially for sports students.

Volleyball requires mastery of basic techniques such as serving, passing, setting, smashing, and blocking. However, many players on the field have difficulty mastering these skills due to monotonous training methods. This study used a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest experimental design. The sample consisted of 40 students from the Dogiyai dormitory in Jayapura City who were selected using purposive sampling. The resistance band training program was implemented for six weeks with a frequency of three times per week, including serving, passing, setting, and smashing exercises. Data were obtained through a basic volleyball skills test, then analyzed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, and paired sample t-tests with the help of SPSS 22.0. The results showed an increase in the average score from 15.60 in the pretest to 17.75 in the posttest with a difference of 2.15 points. Normality and homogeneity tests showed that the data were normally distributed and homogeneous. The results of the paired sample t-test showed a significance value of 0.000 <0.05, which means there was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest. The use of resistance bands significantly improved basic volleyball technical skills among students at the Dogiyai dormitory in Jayapura City. These findings provide practical insights for coaches and educational institutions in designing more varied, effective, and efficient training methods.

The concept of mental toughness (MT) is increasingly recognized as a key factor in athletic performance. The Sport Mental Toughness Questionnaire (SMTQ) is an MT measuring instrument developed in a sports context and in English. However, few studies test psychometric structures across different languages and cultural contexts. Therefore, this research aims to adapt and test the SMTQ in the Indonesian context and analyze invariance based on the comparison between athletes and non-athletes. A total of 856 people participated in this study, but the final data were analyzed for 724 participants (Mage = 21.56 years, SD = 7.63). The number of athletes was 385 people (Mage = 20.79 years, SD = 5.05), while the number of non-athletes was 339 people (Mage = 22.42 years, SD = 9.70). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to analyze the psychometric structure of the SMTQ. The research results showed that the three models tested (single-factor model, three-factor model, and higher-order model) did not meet the model fit. The results of the revised model show that the revised three-factor model is a model that fits the data (CFI = .983, TLI = .977, RMSEA = .054, SRMR = .049). The invariance results based on status (athlete vs. non-athlete) found that there was no significant decrease in model fit and the SMTQid invariance achieved strict invariance. The validity of SMTQid shows very good factor loading values ​​and falls within the good to excellent criteria (λ = .57 to .86), as well as convergent validity, which shows a significant correlation with MTI (r = .38, p < .001). The results of the reliability test show CR values ​​= .82, .79, and .81 and α values ​​= .73, .60,and .83 for each of the confidence, constancy, and control scales in the SMTQ. El concepto de fortaleza mental (MT) se reconoce cada vez más como un factor clave en el rendimiento deportivo. El Cuestionario de Fortaleza Mental en el Deporte (SMTQ) es un instrumento de medición de MT desarrollado en un contexto deportivo y en inglés. Sin embargo, no hay muchos estudios que prueben las estructuras psicométricas en diferentes contextos lingüísticos y culturales. Por lo tanto, esta investigación tiene como objetivo adaptar y probar el SMTQ en el contexto indonesio y analizar la invariancia en función de los atletas frente a los no atletas. Un total de 856 personas participaron en este estudio, pero los datos finales se analizaron para 724 participantes (Mage = 21,56 años, SD = 7,63). El número de atletas fue de 385 personas (Mage = 20,79 años, SD = 5,05), mientras que el número de no atletas fue de 339 personas (Mage = 22,42 años, SD = 9,70). Se utilizó el análisis factorial confirmatorio (CFA) para analizar la estructura psicométrica del SMTQ. Los resultados de la investigación mostraron que los tres modelos probados (modelo de un solo factor, modelo de tres factores y modelo de orden superior) no cumplieron con el ajuste del modelo. Los resultados del modelo revisado muestran que el modelo de tres factores revisado es un modelo que se ajusta a los datos (CFI = .983, TLI = .977, RMSEA = .054, SRMR = .049). Los resultados de la invariancia basados ​​en el estado (atleta vs. no atleta) encontraron que no hubo una disminución significativa en el ajuste del modelo y la invariancia de SMTQid logró una invariancia estricta. La validez de SMTQid muestra valores de carga factorial muy buenos y se encuentra dentro de los criterios de bueno a excelente (λ = .57 a .86), así como la validez convergente que muestra una correlación significativa con MTI (r = .38, p < .001). Los resultados de la prueba de fiabilidad muestran valores de CR = .82, .79 y .81 y valores de α = .73, .60 y .83 para cada una de las escalas de confianza, constancia y control del SMTQ. O conceito de resistência mental (TM) é cada vez mais reconhecido como um fator chave no desempenho atlético. O Sport Mental Toughness Questionnaire (SMTQ) é um instrumento de medida de MT desenvolvido em contexto desportivo e inglês. No entanto, não existem muitos estudos que testem as estruturas psicométricas em diferentes contextos linguísticos e culturais. Assim sendo, esta investigação tem como objetivo adaptar e testar o SMTQ no contexto indonésio e analisar a invariância baseada em atletas versus não atletas. Um total de 856 pessoas participaram neste estudo, mas os dados finais foram analisados ​​para 724 participantes (Mage = 21,56 anos, DP = 7,63). O número de atletas foi de 385 pessoas (Mage = 20,79 anos, DP = 5,05), enquanto o número de não atletas foi de 339 pessoas (Mage = 22,42 anos, DP = 9,70). A análise fatorial confirmatória (AFC) foi utilizada para analisar a estrutura psicométrica do SMTQ. Os resultados da investigação mostraram que os três modelos testados (modelo de um fator, modelo de três fatores e modelo de ordem superior) não cumpriram o ajuste do modelo. Os resultados do modelo revisto mostram que o modelo revisto de três fatores é um modelo que se ajusta aos dados (CFI = 0,983, TLI = 0,977, RMSEA = 0,054, SRMR = 0,049). Os resultados da invariância baseados no estatuto (atleta vs. não-atleta) revelaram que não houve uma diminuição significativa do ajuste do modelo e a invariância SMTQid atingiu a invariância estrita. A validade do SMTQid apresenta valores de carga fatorial muito bons e enquadra-se nos critérios de bom a excelente (λ = 0,57 a 0,86), bem como validade convergente que apresenta uma correlação significativa com o MTI (r = 0, 38, p < 0,001 ). Os resultados do teste de fiabilidade mostram valores de CR = 0,82, 0,79 e 0,81 e valores de α = 0,73, 0,60, 0,83 para cada uma das...

The rising incidence of filariasis cases necessitates heightened vigilance, particularly given the limited public awareness about this disease. This study aims to explore community knowledge and attitudes regarding filariasis in Jayawijaya Regency, Papua. Utilizing a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, the research population comprised all household heads in Itanggen Village, Wolo District. A total of 34 household heads participated as informants, representing each family unit. Data collection employed structured questionnaires followed by in-depth interviews. Findings revealed that 3 filariasis cases was found, accounting for 38.2% (n=13) of respondents demonstrated good knowledge about filariasis, while 61.8% (n=21) showed inadequate understanding. Regarding preventive attitudes, 55.9% (n=19) exhibited positive attitudes toward filariasis prevention, whereas 44.1% (n=15) displayed less favorable attitudes. However, there was no significant relationship between community knowledge and filariasis case (p value=0.729). Also, there was no significant relationship between community attitude and filariasis incident (p value=0.830). These results highlight critical gaps in filariasis knowledge despite moderately positive preventive attitudes, suggesting the need for targeted health education interventions in this endemic region. The study provides valuable baseline data for public health planning in Papua's filariasis control programs.

Background. This study examines the urgency of developing students’ movement independence through internalizing physical literacy in physical education learning according to Project-Based Learning (PBL). Objectives. The study aimed to explore the impact of internalizing physical literacy in physical education learningaccording to PBL on students’ movement independence. Materials and methods. The method used was a quantitative approach with a pseudo-experimental design, involving students of State Aliyah Madrasah Barito Kuala Regency, grade XI as the population. The sample consisted of two treatment classes (XI-A and XI-B) and two control classes (XI-C and XI-D), each with 40 students. The research instrument was a movement independence questionnaire, which was divided into 4 indicators: 1) responsibility, 2) initiative, 3) confidence, and 4) problem solving. The data analysis technique used the analysis of variance (ANOVA) to compare the results between the treatment and control classes. Results. The findings showed that the indicators of responsibility and confidence had a very significant difference between the experimental group and the control group, with a Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.000 0.05 respectively. Overall, the experimental group provided better results than the control group. The results indicated that the application of PBL to physical literacy internalization significantly increased students’ movement independence, especially in the indicators of responsibility and confidence. Conclusions. The conclusion of this study confirms that the internalization of physical literacy in physical education learning according to PBL is effective in increasing students’ movement independence.

This study aims to evaluate the factor structure of the short version of the Mental Toughness Questionnaire (S-MTQ) in the Indonesian context and test measurement invariance based on gender (male vs. female) and status (athlete vs. non-athlete). A total of 710 people (Mage = 22.07 years; SD = 7.99) consisting of 490 (69.01%) males and 220 (30.99%) females; 476 (67.04%) athletes and 234 (32.96%) non-athletes were involved in the study. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to evaluate the factor structure of the short MTQ. The results showed that the unidimensional models tested, MTQ-18 and MTQ-10, were unfit. Therefore, a revision was carried out by removing items that had low loading factor values. The results of the revised Indonesian version (MTQid-6) found CFI = .983, TLI = .969, RMSEA = .052, and SRMR = .024, which indicated that the MTQid-6 unidimensional model was very satisfactory. MTQid-6 has a loading factor category ranging from good to very good (λ = .50 to .74). This validity is strengthened by convergent validity results, which show that MTQid-6 has a significant correlation with MTI, PPI-A, and APSQ (p < .001). The reliability analysis results show high internal consistency values, namely α = .762,  = .763. Invariance testing found invariance at the configural, metric, and scalar levels (ΔCFI ≤ -.01, ΔRMSEA ≤ .015). With these results, MTQid-6 can be used to measure MT, both in athletes and non-athletes, in both males and females in the Indonesian population.
