Abstract

The use of natural pesticides, such as mahogany seed extract, can control crop pests without negative health effects. However, farmers' awareness of its benefits remains low. This study aims to socialize the utilization of mahogany seed extract as a natural pesticide to farmers in Kolam Village, Percut Sei Tuan District, North Sumatra. The activity, involving 30 farmers, was conducted in March 2024 and included socialization, training on production, application, and evaluation of natural pesticide use. The results showed high enthusiasm among farmers, indicating the potential for sustainable application of this natural pesticide in their agricultural practices.ABSTRAKPenggunaan pestisida alami, seperti ekstrak biji mahoni, dapat mengendalikan hama tanaman tanpa dampak negatif bagi kesehatan manusia.

Abstract

Urgensi penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh rendahnya pemahaman anak usia sekolah dasar di Desa Perteguhan, Kecamatan Simpang 4, Kabupaten Karo, terhadap tata cara shalat yang sesuai tuntunan. Minimnya media pembelajaran yang menarik dan kontekstual menjadi salah satu faktor penyebab. Oleh karena itu, pengembangan media Pop-Up Book sebagai sarana edukatif diharapkan dapat menjadi solusi inovatif untuk mempermudah proses pembelajaran tata cara shalat bagi anak-anak. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan keterampilan masyarakat, khususnya guru TPQ dan orang tua, dalam membuat media Pop-Up Book sebagai alat bantu pembelajaran tata cara shalat bagi anak usia sekolah dasar. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif dengan pendekatan pelatihan partisipatif. Kegiatan dilaksanakan melalui tahap sosialisasi, pelatihan pembuatan Pop-Up Book, pendampingan, dan evaluasi hasil karya peserta. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelatihan ini mendapat respon positif dari peserta, dengan 85% peserta mampu membuat Pop-Up Book yang sesuai dengan standar yang ditentukan. Media yang dihasilkan dinilai menarik secara visual, mudah dipahami anak, dan efektif digunakan dalam proses pembelajaran praktik shalat. Peserta juga menyatakan adanya peningkatan motivasi dan pemahaman mereka terkait pentingnya media kreatif dalam pendidikan agama. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa pelatihan pembuatan Pop-Up Book terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan keterampilan masyarakat dalam menghasilkan media pembelajaran tata cara shalat yang edukatif dan menarik bagi anak usia sekolah dasar. Diharapkan program ini dapat dilanjutkan dan dikembangkan sebagai strategi pemberdayaan masyarakat dalam pendidikan keagamaan anak di Desa Perteguhan.

Abstract

Enzymatic biotechnology offers an innovative and environmentally friendly approach to modifying the functional properties of plant proteins to support the development of value-added foods. The urgency of this research lies in the increasing need for alternative protein sources that are not only highly nutritious but also have functional characteristics suitable for the formulation of modern food products and those intolerant to animal protein. This study aims to systematically examine the role of various enzymes, such as proteases, transglutaminases, and oxidoreductases, in improving the solubility, water and oil binding capacity, gel formation, and emulsification properties of plant proteins from soybeans, nuts, wheat, and microalgae. This research method uses a systematic literature review approach to scientific publications published in the last five years obtained through the indexed databases Scopus and ScienceDirect. The results of the study indicate that enzymatic modification can significantly improve the functional performance of plant proteins without damaging the structure of essential amino acids, and opens up opportunities for broad applications in plant-based milk products, imitation meat, and functional beverages. The conclusions of this study confirm that enzymatic technology is a promising sustainable biotechnology strategy for improving the quality and competitiveness of plant proteins in the global food industry. The implication is that cross-disciplinary research collaboration between food biochemistry and process technology is needed to optimize the formulation and efficiency of plant-based food production.

Abstract

Odonata is one of the orders of insects that has an important role as an indicator of the quality of aquatic ecosystems as well as a component in the food chain. The diversity of Odonata species in urban areas, including campus environments, is often not optimally documented, even though this information is crucial as a basis for environmental management and conservation of local species. Campus II of the State Islamic University of North Sumatra, which has a small aquatic ecosystem, such as ponds and riparian vegetation, is a potential habitat for the existence of the Odonata order. However, until now there has been no scientific study documenting the species in the area. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of identifying Odonata species found in the Campus II environment of the State Islamic University of North Sumatra. This research is an exploratory research with data collection techniques using direct sampling methods in the field. Specimen collection was carried out using insect nets, visually documented through digital cameras, and identified using taxonomic determination keys as the main reference. Stationery is used for recording data during field observation. The data from the research were analyzed qualitatively using the Miles and Huberman model analysis technique which involved four systematic steps, namely data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study showed that in the Campus II area of the State Islamic University of North Sumatra, two species of Odonata were found, namely Diplacodes trivialis from the suborder Anisoptera and Agriocnemis pygmaea from the suborder Zygoptera. These two species show adaptation to artificial aquatic habitats in the campus environment. This study concluded that even though the area is semiurban, there is still a diversity of Odonata species that needs attention. The implications of this study are expected to be an initial reference for the development of local insect biodiversity studies as well as the basis for the formulation of insect-friendly habitat management policies in university areas.

Abstract

The main problem in Entomology lectures is the low level of active participation among students and their difficulty in understanding the material on insect classification and morphology. This has an impact on suboptimal learning outcomes and student interest in the field of entomology. The urgency of this research lies in the importance of identifying factors that hinder the learning process as a basis for developing more effective and relevant learning strategies. The objective of this study is to analyze students' learning problems in Entomology courses based on their own perceptions. This study uses a survey method with a descriptive quantitative approach. The main instrument is a closed-ended questionnaire covering five aspects of learning problems: understanding of material, learning media, teaching methods, availability of learning resources, and learning motivation. The research subjects consisted of 93 students from the Biology Education Program at FITK UINSU in the even semester of the 2024/2025 academic year who were enrolled in Entomology courses. The analysis results showed that 68% of students experienced difficulties in understanding insect classification material, 54% stated that learning media were uninteresting, and 47% considered the teaching methods used by lecturers to be insufficiently varied. The conclusion of this study indicates that students' learning challenges in Entomology lectures remain significant and diverse, necessitating the development of interactive learning media and innovative pedagogical strategies to enhance the effectiveness of the learning process.
