Abstract

Gunung Anyar District in Surabaya focuses on agropolitan development to encourage regional economic growth, especially in agribusiness. Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are important in improving the economy, reducing unemployment, and improving welfare. However, MSMEs face challenges with branding, digital marketing, and environmental impact. The community service program by UPN Veteran East Java aims to support the development of MSMEs through digitalization, product branding, and product diversification. The program also discusses environmental issues, including waste management and Urban Farming. Collaboration between local governments, MSMEs, and the community is essential for the success of this program. The program aims to overcome barriers such as low sales turnover and limited market access, strengthen the position of MSMEs in a competitive market, and become an example of sustainable business practices. The Lecturer Team conducts continuous socialization and assistance related to MSME skills in implementing digital marketing, training and mentoring "e-brilliant MSMEs" and maintaining cleanliness and preservation of the surrounding environment to reduce carbon footprint, increase green open space, and meet food needs through urban farming.

Abstract

Balinese pigs are one of the livestock commodities that the community has raised. However, their maintenance is still carried out traditionally by utilizing makeshift feed ingredients in the vicinity, so the appearance of Balinese pigs is not optimal with indicators, and their growth is still below the NRC standard. With simple maintenance, the weight gain of local pigs can only be achieved 180-260 gr/head/day, which is still below the NRC standard of 500-750 gr/head/day. Therefore, efforts must be made to increase weight gain by improving feed quality through fermentation. This study aims to improve the performance of local Balinese pigs by treating feed with various fermentation times from surrounding materials such as banana stems, forage, and complete feed mixtures (rice bran, fine corn, and concentrates). This study used a complete randomized design with fermented feed treatment with variations in fermentation time, namely feed without fermentation (F0), feed fermented for 14 days (F1), and feed fermented for 28 days (F2). Each treatment used 3 Balinese/local pigs of 2-3 months old weaning age with a weight range of 10-12 kg. The banana stem and lamtoro leaf-based feedstuffs fermented for 28 days showed significant results or the best on the performance of Balinese pigs.

Abstract

The agricultural sector is essential for national development, especially in managing and using key resources, emphasizing food commodities. This sector is essential for economic growth, as a significant portion of the Indonesian population depends on agriculture for sustenance. This study analyzes data from three primary sectors: agriculture, forestry, and plantations, explicitly concentrating on OKU Regency in South Sumatra Province. The assessment utilizes Location Quotient (LQ), Dynamic Location Quotient (DLQ), and Klassen Typology methodologies to analyze the viability and sustainability of specific sectors.The findings indicate that the agriculture, forestry, and fisheries sectors are fundamental and prospective contributors to the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) in OKU Regency, with a Location Quotient (LQ) value of 2.41, signifying these industries sufficiently satisfy local demand from 2014 to 2023. A comparison of LQ (2.41) and DLQ (2.81) further substantiates that these sectors are predominant and will persist as fundamental sectors in the future, indicating their sustainability. Furthermore, the Klassen Typology analysis reveals that OKU Regency exhibits a growth pattern in which the regional growth rate (r_ik) surpasses the overall sector growth rate (r_i). However, the contribution to GRDP (Y_ik) remains below the average (Y_i). This study emphasizes the agriculture, forestry, and fisheries sectors as pivotal catalysts for regional development and significant contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially in promoting sustainable economic growth, environmental conservation, and food security.

Abstract

Sarining Trigona Pertiwi, a beekeeping group established on June 6, 2020, in Bongkasa Pertiwi Village, Badung Regency, Bali, emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide supplementary income amidst economic turmoil. Starting with 470 colonies of stingless bees, including Tetragonula Laevicheps and Heterotrigona Itama, the organization has expanded to 620 colonies and now consists of 22 members. With financial backing from The Aqua, a private company, the group produces honey in 250 ml and 100 ml sizes and has embraced eco-tourism to educate visitors about honey harvesting and environmental conservation. Despite employing best practices such as regular hive inspections and sustainable harvesting methods, Sarining Trigona Pertiwi faces substantial postharvest and marketing challenges. These include a lack of standardized postharvest protocols, inadequate hygiene and storage practices, high moisture content in honey, and the absence of commercial licenses. Marketing obstacles encompass an undefined market, poor packaging and labeling, limited social media presence, and ambiguous brand identity. Addressing these issues is critical for enhancing Sarining Trigona Pertiwi's operations' productivity and sustainability, ensuring this community initiative's long-term success and economic stability.

Abstract

There is significant wasteful use of clean water for operating equipment during field and laboratory practice. Additionally, damage to laboratory equipment has been reported due to the use of untreated water. These issues, along with previous research on managing air conditioner (AC) wastewater at the Lampung State Polytechnic, form the basis for our initiative to utilize AC wastewater as a sustainable resource. Proper management of this abundant water source can support the operation and maintenance of laboratory equipment. The research findings demonstrate that circulating AC wastewater to operate a Soxhlet extraction system for 4.5 hours can reduce clean water consumption by 0.65 cubic meters, equivalent to a cost savings of IDR 43,200. Furthermore, the results indicate improved efficiency, effectiveness, and overall equipment performance when using AC wastewater compared to conventional methods.

Abstract

The Community Convergence Framework for Solid Waste Management is a sound management plan to address the solid waste problem for the Tangkas Organic Fertilizer Facility in Bali, Indonesia and for private and government institutions worldwide. The framework’s components are based on the principle that solid waste management should be a collective effort between local governments, communities, and organic waste processing centres. The management plan is structured so that there is a convergence between these three components. In this way, communities can strive to create a cleaner and healthier environment for current and future generations. This research will guide understanding of waste management's importance and community convergence's role in achieving sustainable solutions.

Abstract

Brown seaweeds are rich in fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide with antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. The brown algae Sargassum sp. has not been thoroughly investigated for fucoidan extraction using various techniques and evaluations of their effects on extraction yield and its structural properties. The purpose of this study was to compare the structural characteristics and extraction yield of fucoidan from Sargassum sp. using conventional, microwave, and ultrasonic-assisted extraction methods. The results showed that a slightly higher yield was obtained by using the ultrasonic-assisted extraction method (2.772%) followed by the microwave-assisted extraction method (2.494%) and conventional extraction method (2.399%). However, the IC50 values for antioxidants were found to be lower (less value is preferable) for crude fucoidan obtained by microwave-assisted extraction method (175 ?g/ml) than for conventional (195 ?g/ml) and ultrasound-assisted extraction methods (230 ?g/ml). The crude fucoidan obtained from the three different extraction methods showed moderate antioxidant strength Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)SDG 3: Good Health and Well-beingSDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and InfrastructureSDG 12: Responsible Consumption and ProductionDG 14: Life Below Water
