From Harvesting Practices to Market Orientation: Empowering Coffee Farmers through Participatory On-Farm Cupping Tests
This community service program aims to describe the implementation of on-farm coffee cupping across different harvesting methods and to analyze its effects on farmers' technical practices, quality awareness, and market orientation. The program was implemented using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach based on six stages adapted from Saliyo's framework and delivered through an Andragogy-Based Coffee School involving 18 coffee farmers (14 men and 4 women) in collaboration with a local coffee farmers' group in Wonosalam Village. Data were collected through participatory observation, on-farm cupping using the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) sensory evaluation protocol, and focus group discussions. Quantitative descriptive analysis was employed to visualize cup profiles using radar charts, while qualitative thematic analysis was used to examine participants' experiences and behavioral changes. The results revealed a clear relationship between harvesting methods and coffee flavor profiles. Strip picking produced flat sensory characteristics with relatively low cup quality, whereas selective picking combined with mossto fermentation generated more complex flavor profiles characterized by fruity and wine-like attributes. The program increased farmers' awareness of coffee quality, encouraged the adoption of selective harvesting and post-harvest sorting practices, and expanded market opportunities from conventional local markets to specialty and export-oriented markets. These findings suggest that participatory, experience-based learning through on-farm cupping can promote quality-oriented production practices and enhance the competitiveness of smallholder coffee farmers.

Enhancing Emotion Regulation among Orphanage Adolescents through Mindfulness Training and Expressive Writing: A Community Service Initiative
This community service program aims to improve emotion regulation among adolescents residing in an orphanage through mindfulness training and expressive writing while evaluating the effectiveness of these interventions. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a control group was employed involving 35 adolescents aged 12–18 years, who were allocated to a mindfulness group (n = 13), an expressive writing group (n = 12), and a control group (n = 10). The interventions were delivered through brief, structured group sessions facilitated within the orphanage setting. Emotion regulation was assessed using the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), adapted from Gross and John (2003), which measures the dimensions of cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression. Data were analyzed using Welch's ANOVA followed by the Games-Howell post hoc test. Pretest scores showed no significant differences among the groups, indicating comparable baseline conditions. In contrast, posttest results revealed significant between-group differences, with both intervention groups achieving significantly higher emotion regulation scores than the control group, whereas no significant difference was found between the mindfulness and expressive writing groups. These findings suggest that mindfulness training and expressive writing are practical, low-cost psychosocial interventions for strengthening emotion regulation among adolescents in orphanage settings. Although the program was limited by a relatively small sample size, the quasi-experimental design, a short intervention period, and the absence of follow-up assessment, both interventions demonstrate potential for integration into routine psychosocial services through basic training for caregivers and orphanage staff, thereby supporting sustainable implementation with minimal resources.
