The government is very interested in implementing various policy resolutions/regulations in the field of fertilizer to create a conducive climate for the supply of fertilizer in Indonesia, so that farmers can easily Get fertilizer according to your needs. The proposal procedure for obtaining subsidized fertilizer by farmers through the preparation of an electronic definitive group needs plan (E-RDKK) is still not fully understood and is still carried out manually by both farmers and farmer group administrators. To overcome this, socialization and training were carried out on procedures for preparing the E-RDKK and training on preparing the E-RDKK.

Abstract

The Muhammadiyah Mondokan Branch Manager has a business charity in the field of education at the Elementary School level or often known as MI Muhammadiyah (MIM). MIM Gemantar was founded in 1978 with a basic education level. In carrying out its activities, MIM Gemantar is under the auspices of the Ministry of Religion. Accredited B on November 9, 2017. MIM Gemantar has the most apprehensive building conditions compared to the other four MIMs in Mondokan. On Monday, according to the news from Jateng, inews.id, it was reported that the roof of MI Muhammadiyah Gemantar had collapsed, resulting in the head of the school office and 2 students being injured. The incident of the collapse of the classroom roof occurred during teaching and learning activities or KBM taking place on Monday, January 9 2023 around 08.15 WIB. For the past four months, students from three classes have been assigned to one room. The room whose roof collapsed was used by three classes due to the small number of students, namely grades II, IV and VI. The purpose of this research is to design an integrated electrical installation with solar panels in the MIM Gemantar building which will be renovated. This has several benefits, including as a form of utilizing renewable energy and also as a learning medium for 4th year students with the theme of renewable energy. The method of this activity is for the team to obtain a floor plan of the building to be built, then carry out a design which is as simple as the implementation process, it is easy to update capacity, draw a single line and plan a budget. Currently the MIM Gemantar Mondokan Sragen building has finished building 4 classrooms, so it still requires the construction of 2 more classrooms. The source of electricity for the electrical installation of the 4 classroom buildings all use electrical energy from PLN. In the future, if funds are available and the manager wants the installation of solar panels, then only add according to the design results of a single line electrical installation that is integrated with solar panels on-grid (can be done in stages of 200 Wp, 400 Wp, even up to 1,000 Wp). The capacity of solar panels does not have to match the planned capacity, meaning that this capacity can be carried out in stages according to the conditions of the funds provided.

Abstract

Health screening is a form of monitoring children's growth and development, which involves evaluating growth and development status based on weight gain and addressing problems that may arise at each stage of a child's development. Physical health is measured by age, weight and height. The importance of conducting health checks on children early on is a crucial effort in detecting and preventing various health problems that may arise, including the problem of poor posture better known as bad posture. Bad posture is a condition in which the body's position deviates from the normal state which can cause various health problems. The possible negative consequences of bad posture include problems such as kyphosis, lordosis and scoliosis. Regular health checks on children, especially at early developmental stages such as in kindergarten, are important to identify early any potential health problems, including posture problems. By detecting such problems early, preventive measures can be taken immediately to avoid potentially more serious long-term impacts on children's health. Therefore, regular health check-ups in children are a necessity that cannot be ignored to maintain the health and well-being of future generations. In realizing the research results with quantitative methods, measurable and numerical-based data collection is involved to gain a deeper understanding of the posture characteristics of children in that age range. This provides a solid foundation for implementing appropriate preventive and posture corrective measures. The conducted research revealed intriguing findings regarding the posture of children at Aisyah Makam Haji 1 Kartasura Kindergarten. Among the observations: 56% of children were underweight, 10 children exhibited low arches on both feet, and 22% showed signs of scoliosis with a vertebral curve of 0°. While most children displayed normal limb length differences, some exhibited abnormalities in this aspect. These findings underscore the significance of posture screening for children aged 4-6 years, even if they seem physically healthy. Preventive measures, such as education for parents, are needed to prevent postural disorders that could potentially arise in the future.

Abstract

This paper aims to describe the development of a WebGIS application for the Muhammadiyah Regional Board of Central Java as a monitoring tool for the organization's Key Performance Indicator. The initial phase of the project involved conducting Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) to collect data regarding the organization's needs and requirements. Furthermore, the design process involved creating a comprehensive inventory of application functions and user interfaces. The use of WebGIS technology enables monitoring of key performance indicators (KPIs) and integration of spatial data. This enables more comprehensive visualization of performance data through interactive dashboards and spatial visualization. Further enhancements to the application were designed based on a thorough stakeholder review, taking into account comments obtained through the stakeholder review process. Once the application reached a satisfactory level of performance, it was formally introduced to stakeholders through a socialization process. The application was started and its security was verified using the reliable hypertext transfer protocol (HTTPS) via the URL https://kpi.pwmjateng.id. The implementation of the KPI monitoring tool based on WebGIS technology has yielded good results, and it is showing its success within the Muhammadiyah Regional Board of Central Java. Now, they can effectively monitor and track their indicators.
