Abstract

Community service in Nagari Saniangbaka, X Koto Singkarak, Kabupaten Solok was conducted. This project was divided into three activities, i.e., extension of healthy and nutritious foods; extension of safe, healthy, authentic, and halal foods; and training of salted egg manufacturing. Students of SD Negeri 20 Saniangbaka, MTs Muhammadiyah Saniangbaka, and women of the Sumpadang clan were chosen to participate in these three activities, respectively. For the first and the second activities, the students were involved in a short talk, discussion, quiz, and distribution of UHT milk. For the third activity, the women were trained to make salted eggs by applying two processing methods, i.e., coating paste and immersion in brine solution. In general, those activities were run well with positive participant responses. The two former activities could improve the knowledge and awareness of the students in choosing and consuming the food. At the same time, the latter activity furnishes women with the ability to make various egg products for family consumption. Also, it prepares the essential knowledge that could be developed into an entrepreneurship option.

Abstract

Halal products are crucial for consumers. In Islam, halal and wholesome food consumption is vital for maintaining physical and spiritual well-being. The Indonesian government mandates halal product certification by Law No. 33 of 2014 on Halal Product Assurance. The critical points in determining the halal status of a product refer to processes or ingredients in its production that may potentially involve, contain, or mix with haram substances. Nevertheless, many students lack a clear understanding of halal and haram principles. This knowledge is essential to help students avoid using forbidden ingredients in Islamic teachings. Padang Chemical Analyst High School (SMAKPA) students are the targets of this service because vocational school students must have work-ready skills. Before the education session, a pre-test was conducted to assess the student's understanding of the material presentation. Education was delivered using a flowchart to enhance engagement and comprehension. The content encompasses the concepts of halal and haram in Islam, the responsible parties for halal certification, halal logos, and the analysis of critical points in the halal status of food, cosmetics, and medications. Following the material presentation, a post-test was administered, followed by a question and answer session to evaluate the students' understanding. Pre-tests and post-tests were employed to assess student comprehension, with pre-test scores averaging 99 and post-test scores at 99.5. Through this educational initiative, students gain a comprehensive understanding of the Critical Points of Halal Status in Food, Cosmetics, and Medications using a flowchart

Abstract

Indonesia frequently experiences earthquakes, resulting in significant financial losses and casualties, especially in Padang. A major factor contributing to the high number of victims is the general public's lack of knowledge and preparedness for such disasters. Teenagers, including middle school students, are particularly vulnerable. Consequently, at SMPN 24 in Padang, virtual reality (VR) technology has been introduced to educate students about disaster preparedness. This simulation provided a realistic learning experience, allowing students to practice for emergencies without endangering themselves. At SMPN 24 in Padang, 32 students underwent an earthquake simulation using the VR approach. The results indicated an enhanced understanding of disaster preparedness among the students, with the median comprehension score rising from 59.00 to 60.50. Evaluations suggest that VR technology effectively increases students' disaster awareness and readiness. In summary, thanks to the virtual reality (VR) training, students at SMPN 24 in Padang feel better equipped to face potential earthquake disasters.

Abstract

Human activities pose significant threats to the biodiversity of Indonesia, leading to a decline in the population of endemic animals. Insufficient awareness among the public regarding the importance of conservation exacerbates wildlife trafficking and decreases animal populations. To enhance awareness, early-age education is crucial. Hand puppets, as educational tools, offer an engaging and practical approach to teaching children about Indonesian fauna. The implementation of Fauna Hand Puppetry (FHP) was conducted at SDN 22 Kuranji, and through a series of hand puppets, illustrated storybooks, and QR-coded tags linked to a website, the socialization aimed to capture children's interest and provide easy understanding of the protected fauna. FHP products are designed with child-safe materials and attractively packaged, empowering children to take an active role in conservation. Socialization methods involve PowerPoint (PPT) presentations to explain Indonesian wildlife and interactive Q&A sessions to allow students to inquire and discuss the presented materials. Through a combination of presentations and Q&A sessions, this socialization effort is anticipated to foster a better understanding among students regarding the importance of protecting Indonesian fauna. The quiz and Q&A session results conducted after the socialization showed that students' understanding increased, and they could answer an average of 9 out of 10 questions correctly related to Indonesian fauna.

Abstract

The village of Sungai Nanam, Lembah Gumanti, is an area in Solok Regency, West Sumatra, that produces significant organic waste from horticultural agriculture. If not managed properly, this waste can cause environmental and aesthetic issues. However, this waste can be converted into an eco-enzyme. An eco-enzyme is a liquid enzyme produced by fermenting organic waste. Eco-enzyme has many benefits, including being used as a liquid organic fertilizer, cleaner, and pest repellent. This community service aims to educate and train the community, especially the women farmers group, named Kelompok Wanita Tani (KWT) Rimbo Data Sejahtera, on converting organic waste into eco-enzymes. The program used three methods: socialization, demonstration, and mentoring. It has been proven to be an effective way to educate and train the community, particularly KWT Rimbo Data Sejahtera, on proper waste management. This program is a perfect fit for their needs and is very useful in reducing the impact of pollution.

Abstract

The modern society lifestyle triggers a tendency for people to consume fast food with high-calorie, low-nutrient, and low-fiber. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, society is becoming more aware of maintaining health by consuming healthy and nutritious foods. Therefore, the target of this educational webinar program was educated individuals in the education sector, and they were expected to influence their surrounding communities to adopt healthy eating patterns through the consumption of functional foods. Oil-in-water (O/W) food emulsions such as milk, mayonnaise, and creamer are widely consumed in processed foods. The development of Fiber CrèmeTM creamer as a substitute for milk/coconut milk, which is low sugar, trans-fat-free, and high fiber, has been produced by PT. LNK to enhance the taste of processed foods and beverages. Compounds such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants can be encapsulated within the emulsion system, such as using Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) in creamer products. This webinar was attended by 103 participants, with 80% coming from the education sector. The participants' high level of knowledge and awareness was reflected through online questionnaires and comments. This educational webinar encourages the community to sustainably enhance body immunity by consuming functional foods.

Abstract

The 2018 basic health research of the Indonesian Ministry of Health reported that dental and oral health problems in adolescents have a large percentage. In contrast, caries or cavities have the most significant proportion at 45.3%, and swollen gums have 14%. Meanwhile, according to WHO, those who experience cavities in the 12-year-old age group are 43.43%, and in the 15-year-old age group are 33.54%. Of this proportion, only a few receive services from dental medical personnel. Community service was carried out at the Liga Dakwah Padang Orphanage. In the initial survey, when the team interviewed the foster teachers, it was discovered that so far, many female students have experienced dental and oral problems, ranging from toothache, cavities, bleeding gums, and canker sores. The foster teachers gave them available painkillers at the orphanage or went to the nearest health center to treat the students' toothaches. The community service aimed to improve the dental and oral health of the female students who live there by providing counseling, services, and dental and oral care to female students with dental and oral problems. The method of implementing the activity is: 1. Dental and oral health counseling, demonstration of brushing teeth, discussion and provision of pretest and posttest questionnaires, 2. Service activities were carried out at the dentist's practice for female students with dental and oral problems, such as caries, fillings, extractions, and tartar cleaning. The results of this service were that dental and oral health counseling activities were carried out for female students so that the level of knowledge of female students improved, increasing from 23.7% to 50.8%. Dental and oral care has been carried out for 49 female students with the following actions: cleaning of tartar to 11 people, fillings to 19 people, extractions to 14 people, and provision of toothache medicine to 5 people. This activity provided students access to dental services and improved their dental and oral health.

Abstract

The Nagari Manggopoh is a central area for agricultural product corn, mainly corn for livestock, in Lubuk Basung District, Agam Regency, West Sumatra, Indonesia. The corn kernels produced are sold to animal feed processing factories. However, the corn stalk waste left after harvest is typically burned, leading to land biota damage and air pollution. This community service project aims to raise awareness and demonstrate the process of converting corn plant waste into compost. The project involved socializing, training, and practical demonstrations on composting corn crop waste. These activities have been conducted through counseling sessions, focus group discussions, and hands-on training from June to August 2022. Following the activities, an evaluation was conducted through discussions with the participants. The project's initial result was that ten stakeholders participated in the socialization of using corn crop waste for composting. Additionally, 15 Batang Piarau Jorong Sago farmer group members in Kenagarian Manggopoh have received training and successfully produced compost from corn stalk waste generated from animal feed crops.

Abstract

Gambir, an extract derived from the leaves and branches of the gambir plant, holds significant potential for enhancing the local economy and its benefits as a cosmetics product. Jorong Balai Tampuak Pinang, Nagari Simpang Kapuak, Kecamatan Mungka, was one of the areas producing traditional gambir in Lima Puluh Kota district, West Sumatra, Indonesia. This community service initiative aimed to augment the economic value of gambir from its processing to raw materials of bath soap. The initiative began with an educational session for training participants, outlining the advantages of gambir in skincare and how to incorporate it into bath soap formulations. Following the learning session, participants actively produced gambir-contained bath soap utilizing the provided formula. The activity received favorable feedback from participants who appreciated enhancing knowledge and skills. The outcomes of this endeavor underscore the substantial potential of developing body care products utilizing gambir as a primary ingredient. Participant testimonials underscore the need to conduct similar community engagement activities to harness Gambir's further utilization of other personal care products. The collaboration between the pharmacy study program and the local community has opened new avenues for local economic development and sustainable growth, significantly impacting the local population's well-being in the region.
