Abstract

This community service was conducted using a survey method. The survey aimed to test the understanding of high school students regarding the dangers of radiation exposure from the surrounding environment. Participants in this activity were 48 students (35 science students and 13 social science students) from a high school in Majalaya, Bandung Regency. The instrument used was a two-tier diagnostic test consisting of 4 essay questions related to physics concepts concerning radiation exposure. The analysis of the test results was divided into two parts: conception analysis and Rasch analysis. The conception analysis was done by interpreting students' answers and categorizing them into five conception categories: Full Understanding (FU), Partial Understanding (PU), Misconception (MC), Not Understanding (NU), and No Coding (NC). This categorization was presented in percentage form. The Rasch analysis was conducted based on the distribution of students' answers and item bias detection to identify the spread of students' answers to each question item and the biases present. First, the conception analysis results showed that 53% of students were included in the FU category, while only 5% were in the Not Understanding (NU) category. This indicates that students' understanding of the dangers of radiation exposure is quite good, as more than half of the participants are in the FU category. Second, the Rasch analysis results based on the distribution of students' answers showed that more students could answer basic comprehension questions compared to classification and analysis-based questions. Additionally, the Rasch analysis results based on item bias detection indicated that there was no gender or academic major bias in the four question items.

Abstract

The primary product made in Candikusuma Village, Melaya District, Jembrana Regency, Bali, is cocoa. In order to boost community empowerment based on cocoa plantations, including cocoa cultivation and cocoa post-harvest technology, the PM-UPUD initiative seeks to support the growth of farmer groups and micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises. The operational techniques that are employed include direct practice, monitoring, assessment, surveys, and consultations. The Kusuma Sari Women's Farming Group, a farmer group affiliated with PM-UPUD (Community Service for Regional Superior Product Businesses), is situated in Candikusuma Village, Melaya District, Jembrana Regency, Bali. Partners encounter issues with the caliber of the cocoa beans they produce as well as insufficient knowledge about planting and caring for cocoa trees following harvest. The Kusuma Sari Women's Farmers Group now has the ability to grow cocoa and manage it post-harvest in an integrated and thorough way thanks to PM-UPUD initiatives. The application of cocoa bean fermentation technology and cocoa planting technology are among the talents that the PM-UPUD program partner group will use in 2024. Farming communities now have the ability to create fermented cocoa beans, which are more valuable to consumers. PM-UPUD initiatives have the potential to boost community welfare and revenue, particularly for those in the cocoa producer group.

Abstract

Circular economy literacy efforts are important considering that the waste awareness index in Indonesia is still worrying. If we look at the data from the National Waste Management Information System (SIPSN), food waste dominates the composition of waste based on waste type, namely 40.2 percent. When looking at the source, it is known that households are the largest source of waste (38.3 percent). Considering these data and facts, preventive efforts need to be carried out at the household level, especially regarding food waste. This activity aims to provide education for mothers regarding the circular economy and food waste behavior to minimize food waste, especially in its preparation or better known as food preparation. It is also believed that this effort will have a positive impact on the family's economy. This activity is carried out through the outreach method, and is also accompanied by a pre-test and post-test as a form of evaluation. The locus of the activity will be carried out in Batuan Village, Sukawati District, Gianyar Regency, targeting the local village PKK (family welfare empowerment) team. The aim is that information and activity materials can be distributed and implemented widely. After comparing the results of the pre-test and post-test, it was discovered that there had been an increase in service participants' understanding of the circular economy and food preparation. It is certainly important to continue this activity, one of which is through assistance in preparing circular economy programs through the PKK.
