Abstract

This study aims to analyze the potential utilization of palm kernel shell waste as an alternative fuel to replace coal in steam power plants. The method used is a literature study with a descriptive and comparative approach based on various previous studies. The analysis was conducted by comparing energy characteristics through calorific value, electricity generation capability represented by the energy ratio, and economic aspects reflected in fuel prices and energy costs.The results show that palm kernel shells have an average calorific value of approximately 4,300 kcal/kg, which is relatively close to medium-grade coal with an average value of around 5,000 kcal/kg. In terms of electricity generation capability, the energy ratio of palm kernel shells ranges from 0.935 to 1.160 MW/ton, while coal ranges from 1.158 to 1.724 MW/ton. Although coal demonstrates relatively higher energy efficiency, palm kernel shells exhibit a significant economic advantage due to their lower fuel price, resulting in energy costs of approximately IDR 906,000–925,000 per MW, compared to coal which ranges from IDR 1,434,000–1,456,000 per MW. Therefore, palm kernel shells have strong potential as an alternative fuel that is technically feasible and more economically efficient, particularly in regions with abundant availability of palm oil waste.

Abstract

Rat (Rattus spp.) pest infestations are a major constraint to rice productivity in Pidie Jaya Regency, Aceh, with potential losses reaching 60–70% and even crop failure. Conventional methods currently used by farmers, such as chemical rodenticides and electric traps, have proven ineffective in the long term and have negative ecological impacts. This Community Service (PKM) activity introduced the Owl House (RUBUHA) innovation as a sustainable biological control approach by involving farmer groups in Meurah Dua Sub District. The implementation method includes five stages: socialization, theoretical and practical training (30%–70%), application of RUBUHA in demonstration plots, intensive mentoring, and development of sustainability strategies. Evaluation of farmer knowledge was conducted through pre- and post-tests, while productivity impacts were measured based on harvest data before and after technology implementation. The implementation results showed an increase in rice productivity from 6.1 tons/ha to 7.2 tons/ha, with an estimated additional income of IDR 5–6 million/ha. Farmers' knowledge and skills increased by 70%, indicating the success of learning-by-doing-based technology transfer. In addition to economic benefits, the implementation of RUBUHA also reduces the use of chemical rodenticides, thus positively impacting the environment. The results of this PKM are not only relevant in supporting local food security and farmer welfare but also align with the achievement of the SDGs. Replication Innovation Rubuha to other regions is recommended as part of a community-based Integrated Pest Management strategy.

Abstract

Kendala utama dalam upaya peningkatan produktivitas tanaman padi adalah adanya serangan hama tikus (Rattus-rattus spp). Tikus merupakan hama yang relatif sulit karena memiliki kemampuan adaptasi, mobilitas, dan kemampuan berkembang biak yang pesat serta daya rusak yang tinggi. Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian program kemitraan masyarakat ini adalah untuk terlaksananya pengendalian hama tikus secara berkelanjutan dengan menjawab masalah serangan hama tikus yang mampu menurunkan hasil produksi padi sawah yang diusahakan oleh anggota kelompok tani mitra secara berkelanjutan dan ramah lingkungan. Penerapan Inovasi pengendalian hama tikus dengan pengadaan Rumah Burung Hantu (RUBUHA) diharapkan mampu membantu meningkatkan produksi padi sawah anggota kelompok tani “Tuah Mugoe" pada khususnnya, dan petani diareal pengabdian pada ummunya. Pengabdian ini mengunakan metode Pelatihan dengan Demontrasi Cara (DemCa), pendampingan kedua metode ini menjadi pendekatan yang tepat dimana partisipasi petani mitra dalam peningkatan ketrampilan dan proses pedampingan dilakukan dengan langsung mempraktekkan dan secara tidak langsung proses ini menerapkan prinsip” learning by doing” belajar sambil bekerja. Kegiatan pelatihan yang sudah dilakukan meliputi pengenalan pengendalian hama tikus secara hayati mulai dari pengenalan jenis-jenis pengendalian hama tikus secara hayati, manfaat dan dampak pengendalian hama tikus dengan pendekatan ekologi (lingkungan). Praktek langsung pembuatan Rumah burung hantu (RUBUHA) pembuatan struktur bangunan, pembuatan pondasi tiang penyangga dan pemasangaan Rumah Burung hantu secara benar.

Abstract

This research was conducted in Padang Sidimpuan City. This research was carried out becausePadang Sidimpuan City is one of the snakefruit producing cities which is currently developing as afarming commodity. Salak in Padang Sidimpuan City is utilized and developed by every company toprovide added value or profitable prices, one of which is UD Bolu Salak. However, it is felt thatmanaging the supply of raw materials by the company is not optimal, so researchers use theEconomic Order Quantity (EOQ) method to optimize the supply of raw materials in the company.This research aims to analyze the control of the supply of raw materials for salak sponge cake at UDBolu Salak Kenanga, Padang Sidimpuan City, using the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) method.The sampling technique was carried out using the purposive sampling method. The research methoduses a quantitative descriptive approach, namely analyzing the control of the supply of raw materialsfor at UD Bolu Salak. The research results show that the company's policy inventory costs are IDR11,400,000.00 for each raw material. This policy is considered not optimal because excess purchasesoften occur which causes wasted costs. On the other hand, using the EOQ method provides moreefficient results. The inventory costs generated by the EOQ method for each raw material are aroundIDR 1,310,000.00 per year, which is much lower than the company's policy. The Safety Stock analysisshows that the need for reserve supplies for wheat flour is 18,400 kg, granulated sugar 3,591.68 kg,snake fruit 3,116.68 kg, and eggs 7,095 squares, which is not accommodated by company policy.Meanwhile, the Reorder Point (ROP) based on the EOQ method occurs at certain minimum inventorylevels, such as 64.64 kg of wheat flour and 32.18 kg of granulated sugar, while company policy doesnot stipulate ROP.Keywords: Inventory Control, Raw Materials, Salak Cake, Economic Order Quantity (EOQ), CostEfficiency

Abstract

This study aims to identify the development strategy of the Bolu Susu Bunda Lisa Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (UMKM) using a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis. The method used in this study was a qualitative approach using interviews and direct observation at the business location. The results indicate that the Bolu Susu Bunda Lisa UMKM possesses key strengths, including the experience of the business owner, affordable product prices, and a strategic location. However, this business also faces weaknesses, including unstable production and limited capital. From an external analysis, opportunities exist that can be exploited, such as increasing public interest in local traditional cakes and the application of technology for production efficiency. On the other hand, threats include rising raw material prices and a lack of government support.  Based on the SWOT analysis, several development strategies were formulated, including developing a distribution system through collaboration with travel drivers and establishing a reseller network from the local community. This research is expected to contribute to the development of UMKM in North Aceh and serve as a reference for further research.
