Abstract

Silver nanoparticles have been studied for its application in wound healing therapy, while aqueous extract of Plantago major L has been studied also for its antibacterial and wound healing activity. This study aimed to obtain silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) through a green synthesis pathway using aqueous extract of Plantago major L. The initial study was performed to optimize the three concentration points of Plantago major L. aqueous extract, namely 0.125%, 0.25% and 0.5% and three synthetic temperature points (60 °C, 70 °C, and 80 °C). The formation of AgNPs were confirmed using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer which shows a peak at a wavelength of 445 nm. The obtained silver nanoparticles were then characterized using Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS Nano), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) dan X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The study showed that the extract concentration of 0.25% with an optimum temperature of 70 °C was the optimal combination to produce the best AgNPs, based on the organoleptic parameters (as the color of silver was produced), the highest yield with weight of 9.13 mg and particle size of 129.20 nm with Polydispersity Index (PDI) of 0.25. The morphology of AgNPs showed the spherical shape and the crystallization of AgNPs showed a diffractogram pattern similar to the silver standard using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Antibacterial activity of AgNPs was tested against three bacterial strains, namely Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and was measured with diffusion method using paper disc. The antibacterial activity testing showed that AgNPS has better antibacterial activity than silver nitrate and is equivalent to its comparative antibiotics, gentamicin sulfate for gram-negative bacteria and Chloramphenicol for gram-positive bacteria.

Abstract

A previous study demonstrated that low-incomewomen tend to have lower financial literacy. This low level of financialliteracy affects the manner in which they manage their daily finances, as wellas their ability to save for long-term needs. Currently, the statistics show that financialliteracy in Indonesia is relatively low. Tosupport Indonesian government in improving financial literacy, especially among the mostmarginalized group – women of low income – Universitas Indonesia launched acommunity engagement initiative conducted in the form of financial literacytraining targeted at low-income women working as streetsweepers around the university. This study investigates the motivation toward andperceived usefulness of the financial education program to improve the financial literacy of low-income women working as street sweepers aroundUniversitas Indonesia. A mixed research method is applied in the study. The data were collected from in-depthinterviews and a mini survey conducted to 23 low-income female street sweepers who joined the 10weeks financial education program. Both quantitative and qualitative data wereanalyzed to produce a comprehensive descriptionof the participants’ perceptions and attitudes toward the financial literacyprogram. The study demonstrates that the majority of low-income women have lowmotivation toward financial literacy education, and they also have a negative perceptionof the usefulness of such program. Thus, it is very important that alleducators and trainers examine the characteristics of the trainees and assessthe relevancy of the education program before they design certain communityengagement program.

Abstract

Using Community Organizing Participatory Action Research(COPAR) as the main framework for the multiple data-gathering methods utilizedin the study, the researcher addressed the following objectives: (1) to assessthe educational needs of the Lumad and peasant communities in light of theimplementation of Republic Act 10533, and (2) to developa curriculum that addresses the needs of the Lumad and peasant communitiesconsidering the learning competencies stipulated by RA 10533. Freire’s methodof education was maximized as participants in the research included men, women,and children who learned toassess their role in their community as agents of change with the goal ofachieving social transformation through education. Still adhering to Freire’smethod of education, the intended curriculum that was designed is simple andeasy to understand, integrative, and perceptive of the social realitiessurrounding the Lumads and other peasant learners. From the state-approvedcurriculum, the new alternative curriculum ensured the presence of lessons andactivities with a positive influence on all the aspects of a child’sdevelopment: physical, emotional, social, linguistic, aesthetic, and cognitivethrough the application of the outcomes-based education (OBE) framework. Curriculumdesign also utilized the Makabayan (nationalist), Makamasa (mass-oriented), andSiyentipiko (scientific) (MMS) orientation, which is based on rooted assessmentof the needs of the community learners. The integration of OBE with MMSframework is expected to result in transformative education that can producelifelong learners who will aspire to be part of national development whilepromoting their identity and the good of their communities. The researchprocess undertaken proved that community immersion provides an opportunity forself-reflexivity that can result in a more inclusive curriculum design. Lastly,it can be concluded that community organizing in education is a painstaking andendless process of collaborations, which, if purposeful and sustained, canpositively impact the communities.

Abstract

Students’ behaviortowards waste takes a crucial role to successful sustainable waste managementat school level. As many scholars mentioned, a proper waste management shouldnot only environmentally effective and economically efficient, but alsosocially acceptable. Therefore, it is important to know how to drive studentsto behave more environmental friendly. Using eco-friendly behavior survey forstudents as part of community engagement program titled “Creating Healthy, Fitand Productive Generation through Comprehensive Mental Revolution Model”, thispaper aims to identify factors that determine students’ eco-friendly behavior.This survey was administered to 797 students from three high schools in thecity of Bekasi, SMA N 1 Bekasi, SMA N 2 Bekasi and SMK Korpri. We divided threebroad characteristics in determining student’s eco-friendly behavior, namelyindividual characteristics, household characteristics and communitycharacteristics, as mentioned in various researches. The result shows that outof three broad characteristics, individual characteristics play significantrole in determining the level of student’s eco-friendly behavior. In terms ofindividual characteristics, knowledge about waste and school course playspositive and significant role in determining the level. For the study course,we conclude that students in the science course have a relatively higher eco-friendlybehavior level compared to social course or others. Female students are alsomore likely to have higher level of eco-friendly behavior rather than malestudents. Finally, daily expenditure significantly determines the level. On theother hand, we found that environmental concern and class rank do not havesignificant effect to student’s behavior. In addition, none of the householdand community characteristics variables were significant in determining thebehavior. This result emphasizes the importance of individual characteristicsimprovement, especially waste knowledge and environmental education, to drivestudents in dealing waste appropriately.

Abstract

This research and community engagementinvestigates an ancient Balinese ritual known as Sang Hyang Dedari. Thedance is interrelated to an agricultural aspect of the traditional Balineseliving. As the Balinese struggle tomaintain their values from the constant threat of modernization andindustrialization, this dance reveals the powerful impact of creating anawareness of socio-ecological equilibrium. The effort made by the villagers ofGeriana Kauh, Karangasem, displays how local community rebuilds its environmentbased on their traditional ecological value. Analyzing Sang Hyang Dedaridance through phenomenological approach, thus, it can be discovered how theritual sustains the social relations. The bodies of the dancers are the centerof an elaborate nexus between people, nature and god. To understand how thedualism of sacred and profane bodies, this research utilizes the body theory byMaurice Merleau-Ponty. The importance of phenomenology as a theory relates tothe understanding on how the ritual works as an event in its totality.Understanding the unity between the presence of the divine, nature and human.The output of this research and community engagement is a museum built incooperation between University of Indonesia with the villagers of Geriana Kauh,Karangasem. As the performance and knowledge about Sang Hyang Dedari appearedto be scarce, this museum is a form of collaboration to retrace the history ofSang Hyang Dedari ritual, in an attempt to conserve the ancient knowledge.

Abstract

This paper is aimed at presenting an implemented community engagementof the University of San Carlos School of Education with the communities ofAgusan del Sur, Philipines, in closepartnership with the Justice Peace andIntegrity of Creation-IDC, (JPIC-IDC) Incorporated of Agusan del Sur as aresponse to a felt need in the early childhood education program of theprovince. In 2004, JPIC pooled together concerted resources from provincial andlocal government units, non-government organization and academe to create anddevelop a culture-based curriculum guide for early childhood education that isappropriate and responsive to the needs of indigenous groups in Agusan del Sur,Southern Philippines. To address these needs, an ethnographic community engagement framework was utilized andinitiated by JPIC-IDC team and the University Of San Carlos School OfEducation. The community engagement framework facilitated the partnership ofAgusan del Sur government leaders, a non-government organization in Germany,community cultural masters, Day Care Teachers and the University of San CarlosSchool of Education to create a developmentally appropriate and culture-basedcurriculum for Day Care with a supporting handbook for mother-teachers in earlychildhood education. As a result of this framework, children drop-out decreasedfrom 80% to 10% while parent-community involvement increased from 30% to 90% in2009 (JPIC-IDC, 2007). Ongoing teachertrainings and community orientations on the culture-based curriculum have beenextended to 42 additional communities in 2012-2018 from 35 communities in 2007upon request from the provincial governor. Two editions of a culture-basedhandbook have been published and a third edition is currently prepared forDistrict 2 communities with guided participation by Day Care teachers as co-authors.This community engagement framework, initiated by the Justice Peace andIntegrity of Creation of Agusan del Sur Philippines involving all stakeholdersfrom the provincial leaders to the recipients of early childhood education,serves as a model to community extension service programs (CES) of schools anduniversities as well as to curriculum practitioners and administrators. Threeprinciples involved in this particular community engagement concretelydemonstrate that program sustainability is a product of partnership,sensitivity to culture and context and relevance to community’s need.

Abstract

The ability of adolescents to cope with stressful life events has notbeen well developed. Facing stressfulsituations might trigger them to engage in many dangerous and self-destructivebehaviors. Life skills program in improving mental health of adolescents has been proven in many countries, as it has in Indonesia. In post-disaster situation, there is rarelyany community program which focuses on adolescent mental health. Life skillsprogram is a psychological intervention to teach adolescents to improve theirskill to cope with stress, develop self-esteem, deal with peer pressure, thinkcritically, communicate appropriately and act assertively. Teachers and localhealth professionals who have already been trained about life skills programapply this program in adolescents experiencing a stressful event, a naturaldisaster from the eruption of Mount Merapi in Yogyakarta-Indonesia. This studyattempts to apply and evaluate the effectiveness of the program for adolescentswho had survived a natural disaster in Yogyakarta-Indonesia. Three-weeks lifeskills training was conducted in 2012 on 40 junior and senior high schoolstudents, post Mount Merapi eruption in Yogyakarta and Magelang. Subjects wereassessed for their self-image using Rosenberg self-image questionnaire, andtheir emotional-behavioral problems and mental strength using Strength andDifficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), before and after the training. SPSS was usedfor the statistical analysis. The average age of the subjects was 14.48 +1.21 years old. There were significant differences on the self-esteem andmental strength aspects of the subjects before and after intervention. Score onlow self-esteem was improved (p=0.005), negative self perception also becamebetter (p<0.001), and prosocial behavior was increased (p=0.001). There werealso decreasing difficulties and emotional-behavioral problem score afterintervention, and other aspects of self-esteem such as instability andself-consciousness. Life skills training has several positive effects inimproving mental strength and self-image and decreasing emotional andbehavioral problems of adolescents post-disaster.
