Abstract

The waste problem is a challenge for cities, especially in developing countries. Waste management is closely related to population, community values and behavior, and existing organizations and systems. Organic waste refers to waste materials that can decompose naturally and be converted into compost. It includes various types of waste, such as food scraps, dry leaves, and vegetables. Based on the literature obtained, it was reported that the City of Padang produces 600 tons of waste daily and ends up in the Final Disposal Site (TPA) without any follow-up or effective management. A very efficient approach to managing organic waste involves transforming the waste into Eco-enzymes, a remarkable discovery made by Dr. Rasukon Poompanvong from Thailand over three decades ago. This eco-enzyme training was conducted on 16 September 2023 at the Cendana residence in Koto Kaciak, Padang City, West Sumatra-Indonesia. The results of the activities presented by the resource person to the community provided knowledge to the community regarding eco-enzymes. Eco-enzyme training for the community has been carried out. It was concluded that eco-enzyme can be used to reduce waste, especially organic waste, which has many benefits.

Abstract

Financial management is the heart of a business. Many businesses fail and eventually go bankrupt due to poor financial management. Quality products and services with sound financial management will be helpful with thorough financial planning. Empowering MSMEs is one of the government's commitments. Universities have a role in helping the government in empowering MSMEs. Therefore, Andalas University has organized various programs to carry out this role. One of the programs organized by Andalas University is the Business Camp activity. Business Camp activities consist of several types of empowerment material, including MSME financial management. First Business Camp activities with Financial Management material were conducted online using the Zoom Meeting Application. The activity was held on Saturday, 28 October 2023. The main participants in this activity were MSME owners whom Andalas University accompanied. However, this activity did not close the opportunity for other MSMEs who want to join. Therefore, as many as 80 participants had taken part in this activity. The result of this activity was the motivation for MSMEs to separate their financial books first so that sound financial management can be carried out. This activity is essential to carry out so that MSME businesses can become businesses that continue to grow.

Abstract

Nobita Hill, a tourist site in Padang City, is undergoing development as a tourist destination that offers a bird's-eye view of Padang City. Unfortunately, the hilly topography with steep slopes increases the risk of landslides in this area. In order to address the problem, the community service team from the Physics Department of Andalas University has carried out a six-month community service program from July to December 2022. It focused on disaster awareness education and used a qualitative approach. This activity aims to socialize disaster mitigation efforts, especially those related to landslides and earthquakes, considering that Padang City is also prone to earthquakes. The results of this activity showed an increase in the knowledge of the local community after the socialization, but repeated activities are needed to achieve optimal results. This ongoing activity is essential to ensure continuous improvement in the community's understanding of disaster mitigation and to support efforts to make Bukit Nobita a disaster-resilient area. Thus, this activity makes a positive contribution to shaping a safe, sustainable, and disaster-resilient tourism environment.

Abstract

The high level of corruption, which has become a pathology in developing countries, especially Indonesia, is evidenced by the 2022 international transparency data, which scored 34/100 and ranked 110 out of 180 surveyed countries. Indonesia ranks as the 5th most corrupt country in Southeast Asia. With these results, Indonesia has only been able to increase its Corruption Perception Index (CPI) score by 2 points from 32 over the past decade since 2012. Despite Law No. 20 of 2001's eradication of corruption, which covers various aspects, related to anti-corruption efforts, including education and anti-corruption socialization, this pathology remains unresolved. Therefore, a strong foundation is needed, especially among the younger generation as the nation's future leaders, by strengthening students' character regarding integrity and courage against corruption. This community engagement used socialization, interviews with school members, and participatory observation within the school environment. The concept of public administration ethics serves as the basis for this activity. The results showed that anti-corruption education through the perspective of public administration at SMP N 13 Padang plays a significant role in shaping students' integrity and courage in combating corruption. As adolescents, students are in the process of forming moral values and behaviors. Thus, anti-corruption education interventions can significantly impact shaping their character. Students improved their understanding of corruption and developed a more courageous attitude and strong integrity. The results provided valuable insights and a foundation for further improvement in anti-corruption education in middle schools.

Abstract

Forest betel (Piper aduncum) includes weed plants from the Piperaceae family that can be used as the main ingredient in the manufacture of environmentally friendly pest control technology, also known as botanical pesticides. Botanical pesticides from P. aduncum have the active compound dillapiol, which can control pests in various plants, especially horticulture. Commercialization of botanical pesticides needs to be done because the product meets the standards for pest control and is available in sufficient quantities on the market. The partnership was initiated by involving local communities as providers of raw materials. Surian area, Solok Regency, West Sumatra, Indonesia, has an area where P. aduncum plants dominate, so it has the potential to provide raw materials. Socialization activities about the potential of forest betel fruit or P. aduncum were given to prospective partner communities. Furthermore, training activities on handling P. aduncum fruit were also provided so that partners had sufficient knowledge and skills to proceed. At the same time, an analysis of P. aduncum fruit extract from the Surian area was also carried out. Sampling was carried out in the Surian area, and then the material was sorted, dried, refined, sieved, maserase, and extracted. Identification of dillapiol content was carried out using GC-MS. The analysis results showed that P. aduncum fruit extract was known to have an average yield of 0.1% with a dillapiol content of 12.23% at a retention time of 19.925 minutes.

Abstract

Nagari Cupak is a sub-district in Solok Regency with a big rice field that can be developed to increase farmers’ wealth. The development of rice field potential in Nagari Cupak can be conducted with agricultural extension to farmers. One of the outreach topics that can deliver to farmers is the importance of the efficient functioning of farmer groups (as a learning class, as production units, and as a place to cooperate). In this situation, the topic regarding conserving water and soil in rice fields for efficient rice production in Nagari Cupak is another one that may be discussed with farmers. The agricultural extension was carried out in Jorong Panyalai, Nagari Cupak, Gunung Talang District, on Thursday, 10 August 2023. The method used in community service is the lecture method. Furthermore, it continued with a question-and-answer session. The object of this community service is to join farmer groups in Nagari Cupak, which consists of 18 farmer groups. These activities showed that the farmers did not optimise the group’s function because they only used it as a gathering place. Farmer groups also shared the issues they frequently encountered, and solutions were offered. In addition, agricultural extension activities were continued with practice regarding soil and water conservation on land provided by the Nagari Cupak Government. The farmers’ persistence can be seen in their enthusiasm for this extension activity until the end of the extension. In order to enable farmers to practice soil and water conservation on their own, they also requested that Extension Officers continue to support them.

Abstract

The practice of cultivating Galo-galo bees has been steadily developing each year in West Sumatra. All parts of the Galo-galo bee, from honey to propolis, can be effectively utilized to produce commercial products, thereby enhancing the community's economy. Community service activities at Sungkai Green Park Ecotourism (ESGP) in Lambung Bukit Village, Padang, assist the community in cultivating Galo-galo bees. These activities involved providing colonies, conducting socialization sessions, offering mentoring and discussions, and collecting data on local plants and insects. Additionally, knowledge regarding the use and processing of honey and propolis was shared. These community service activities, conducted from September to December 2023, have had a positive impact, particularly on the community around the ESGP area. This aligns with the goal of the initiative, which is to provide education and hands-on practice in Galo-galo bee cultivation.

Abstract

A low level of knowledge related to the causative factors, signs and symptoms, dangers, prevention, and treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM) causes an increasing number of DM sufferers worldwide, including in Indonesia. This community service activity aims to increase public knowledge, especially in the office environment, about DM disease and conduct early detection of DM. Participants in the community service activities consisted of 90 employees of an Accountant's office in North Jakarta. The community service activities included education about DM disease, tests of blood sugar, and question-and-answer discussions about DM. The results showed an increase in knowledge by 20.3% based on the score obtained from the pretest compared to the posttest. Based on the blood sugar test results, 98.9% of participants had blood sugar levels within normal limits, 1.1% were below average (hypoglycemia), and 1.1% were at risk of DM. This activity concludes that educational activities can increase participants' knowledge about DM disease, so it is hoped that the community can implement a healthy lifestyle to prevent DM disease and reduce the number of DM sufferers.

Abstract

The low productivity of smallholder dairy cattle in Indonesia is due to limited capital and feed management. Limited land ownership, resulting in feeding from low-quality natural grasses and agricultural waste, limits milk production. Farmers rely on expensive commercial concentrate feed to improve feed quality. Efforts to improve productivity and milk quality on smallholder farms include utilizing low-cost, high-nutrient forages. Legume forages have the potential to replace commercial concentrates in dairy cow rations because they contain high crude protein (CP) and can increase livestock productivity. Using legumes as a substitute for commercial concentrates can reduce milk production costs by up to 20%. In Indonesia, the most widely cultivated legume crop is Gliricidia. Harapan Makmur Farmer Group is one of the few dairy cattle groups established in Padang City in 2011. The problem of the dairy cattle business is the high feed price, some of which comes from commercial feed. The activity method uses counseling, discussion, and the practice of making sweet corn silage mixed with Gliricidia. These activities concluded that farmers were utilizing forage from legumes to substitute commercial concentrates, and they were skilled in processing corn straw waste from sweet corn cultivation and Gliricidia into silage.
