Abstract

People with disabilities are vulnerable to being infected with the COVID-19 virus. The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on human life, including the health of people with disabilities. The government makes various policies and programs in an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but their implementation is still challenging for people with disabilities. This community service program was carried out in collaboration with Mitra Sejahtera Disability Empowerment Center (PPDMS), an organization empowering people with disabilities in Gunungkidul Regency. Empowerment of people with disabilities was carried out using 'community control' principle in which the community has the control in making decisions regarding the problems they face so that they can adopt a ‘new normal’ lifestyle because of their knowledge. The principle of 'community control' was applied by providing education about COVID-19 situation in Indonesia, the symptoms and signs of COVID-19 infection, wash hands, proper cough etiquette, how to use masks, food and lifestyle that can prevent COVID-19 transmission, as well as about the benefits of COVID-19 vaccination. Education was given with a presentation followed by discussion. Evaluation was carried out quantitatively and qualitatively. Quantitative evaluation using pretest and post-test showed an increase in knowledge. Qualitative evaluation using FGD indicated changes in attitudes and behavior that support the adoption of ‘new normal’ lifestyle to prevent transmission of COVID-19. People with disabilities who have received education disseminate the information obtained to other people with disabilities, resulted in multiplication effect of this empowerment program for people with disabilities.

Abstract

This research-based community service program is entitled Implementation of a Web-based Digital Repository Information System at the Office of Sumbersekar Village. This activity is motivated by the need to conduct collaborative learning programs with the village for the implementation of research results. Activities oriented towards product implementation as a more comprehensive effort for the downstream process of research results in the service carried out by private universities that can be utilized by the community. Down streaming the results of this research is also the basis for managing collaborative learning activities for the Independent Learning (as suggested by the term MBKM) between Ma Chung University and the village. The issue of the village's desire to switch from a manual system to a computerized system is our focus. In the transition process from manual to computerized system, many information systems are needed, one of which is data digitization. Digitizing the repository allows centralized data so that the village staffs will find them easier to search when needed. Centralized storage media can support verification, namely the process of checking, confirming, and ensuring archives, ensuring the legality and integrity of related files and their relationship to the village. The repository information system implemented at the village office is expected to minimize archiving errors, facilitate data retrieval, avoid lost or damaged documents, and can anticipate data theft. This repository information system also facilitates the process of monitoring, controlling, as well as backing up data. Therefore, this community service has successfully implemented a repository information system for internal village documents.

Abstract

The pandemic of COVID-19 has forced pharmacist assistance practitioners to strive to improve their qualifications and competencies, especially in molecular biology. The human resources competencies in this field are still lacking, resulting in some obstacles in the handling of COVID-19 encountering, thus hampering the acceleration of post-pandemic recovery. The Virus that can spread rapidly requires competent health workers to move as quickly as possible to overcome this pandemic condition. Ignorance of these critical technical matters often occurs so that it affects the identification results, which are expected to be more accurate, precise, and reliable. In a workforce to increase the competency capacity of pharmacist assistants in the biomolecular field, especially in the technical competence of genetic material isolation and PCR methods, the Pharmacy Study Program of Ma Chung University held Webinars and Workshops related to DNA isolation and quality testing. The webinar and workshop on the isolation of genetic material were carried out to implement one of the research topics in the Pharmacy Study Program, especially in the field of development of molecular biology. The essential thing in this webinar and workshop is discussing some critical criteria before the actual virus identification. This program collaborates with PAFI (Indonesian Pharmacy Experts Association) of Batu City as a partner. People who took part in this event consisted of 63 persons from the Batu City and Malang City areas. Most of the participants work in health facilities, with 50% of the participants having isolated genetic material and PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction). Spreading the pre and post-test with the same questions increased the average acknowledgment score from 42.9 to 61.1. This indicates that continuous training in this field needs to be held on an ongoing program so that the competence of pharmacists in the field of molecular biology is getting better.

Abstract

UPT Bulupountu Jaya is the one of many shallots or red onions and other vegetables production center in Sigi Regency. The farmers rely heavily on pesticide and chemical fertilizer in their business. Even, the residual pesticide on the plant is beyond permitted standard. The main factor is the lack of awareness and skills of the farmers towards environment-based cultivations and pest control. Our community service with regional featured product schematics, aim to spread the information about the technology of formulation and application of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) as biofertilizer and bioprotectant on red onion plantations. The methods that were going to be implemented, there are training, demonstration plot of technology application, and assistances. The result of our community service, shows that participants are really into this daily program in the moment, shown by the activeness of participants at various stages of activity.

Abstract

The decreased soil carrying capacity is due to reduced soil organic matter content, caused by disproportionally larger use of inorganic fertilizers and synthetic chemical pesticides in farming activities than organic fertilizers and environmentally friendly weeds, disease, and insect pests control materials. Reducing the use of inorganic fertilizers and synthetic chemical pesticides could be done by using production facilities of organic agriculture in the form of organic fertilizers and synthetic non-chemical pesticides on a larger scale, which base materials are available in nature. The problem faced by farmers in using these inputs is the lack of awareness and skills in producing organic inputs. This community service program with competitive schematics aims to assist the community in preparing local resource-based organic production inputs in Uwe Nuni Village, Palolo District. Specifically, to increase the awareness and skills of farmers in producing organic inputs based on local resources. The method used for counselling and training is Focus Group Discussion (FGD) approach, as well as practice and demonstration plots, which also provide technical guidance on making compost and botanical pesticides, and organic-based plant cultivation techniques. The results of the community service program show that the implementation of counselling and training increases the community’s awareness, skills, and attitudes by 38%, 56% and 54%, respectively. The compost made during the technology training was made from cow and goat manure, while the botanical insecticides were made from quickstick (Gliricidia sepium) plant leaves, papaya leaves, and soursop leaves. These plants are potential resources in Uwe Nuni Village, Palolo District.
