/in /by

The Community Empowerment Program (Prodamat) conducted by the Graduate Program of Ahmad Dahlan University (UAD) Yogyakarta is a means for students to be able to think critically and find the best solution to the problems existing in the society.

Before being sent off, the students were equipped with materials about Prodamat which was delivered by Drs. H. Muchlas Abror, dr. H. Agus Taufiqurrahman, Sp.S., M.Kes., and Dr. Ir. Dwi Sulisworo, M.T. The briefing was held in the auditorium of Campus 3 UAD on Saturday (16/12/017) and was attended by 244 students.

Prodamat is one effort to synchronize general knowledge and science with religion. Prof. Dr. Ahmad Mursyidi, M.Sc., Apt., UAD Post Graduate Director stated that Islam must cover all aspects.

“Knowledge and religion are aimed at realizing prosperity, justice and environmental protection, especially about the environment, community, and nature."

This program required graduate students to serve the community in Yogyakarta and around Central Java. During the implementation of the program, the students must show the attitude of an intellectual. This attitude is important as the foundation for scholars and practitioners who want to deepen their knowledge on religion, especially Islam.

Mursyidi stated that this activity aimed to improve the mental and spiritual aspects of the students as agents of change. In addition, students were encouraged to continue to think critically by using their creativity and innovation to provide alternative solutions for existing problems. Solutions to the existing problems are expected to improve the quality of the society. (ard)

The Commitment of LPPI UAD to Improve Its Journal Quality

/in /by

The Institute for Research and Scientific Publications (LPPI) of Ahmad Dahlan University (UAD), Yogyakarta held a workshop entitled "Scientific Periodical Publishing Management according to National/International Standards and the Strengthening of Scientific Publication for Editors". The event was held at Tjokro Style Hotel (12-13/12/2017) and was attended by scholars and practitioners from UAD, as well as from other universities.

The speakers of the workshop were the Chairman of LPPI UAD, Tole Sutikno, Ph.D., and others, such as Moch Fuad Saifuddin, M.Pd., Lina Handayani, Ph.D., Andri Pranolo, M.Cs., Damar Yoga Kusuma, Ph.D., Dr. Rully Charitas Indra P., Dr. Ir. Dwi Sulisworo, M.T., and Iwan Tri Riyadi, M.IT. Each speaker presented various materials including journal standards, strategies, and how to manage journals.

 

Tole stated that both organizers and journal authors should be able to take advantage of the journal. "There are many benefits to be gained from journals, not only journals from UAD, but also from various universities outside of UAD and Yogyakarta. In addition, the current quality of journals plays an important role in improving the quality of the university. "

Meanwhile, the Rector of UAD, Dr. Kasiyarno, M. Hum., has a similar view on journal. According to him, by writing journal findings, we can help contribute to the realization of a more civilized nation. Journal presents the findings of research and the development of the current science and technology that must be known by the general public.

"Research can determine the future. It can, at the very least, prepare more competent human resources who understand science and technology. Journal is a medium to publish the latest inventions and innovations. Read it, understand it, and develop it, "said Kasiyarno.

Currently, UAD is committed to continuously improve the quality of journals in every study program and faculty to improve the quality of the university in return. Lecturers of UAD are also encouraged to participate and publish their journals in national and international journal publishers. (ard)

Pocari Won ICP 2017

/in /by

Catering for Posyandu (Pocari), which was initiated by the students of Ahmad Dahlan University (UAD) succeeded in becoming the 1st place winner in INZI Creative Project (ICP) competition. The competition was organized by JAPFA Foundation and was participated by various public and private universities all over Indonesia.

The final stage was held at Peninsula Hotel, Jakarta (8-9/12/2017). The UAD team succeeded in surpassing 174 proposals from other participants. The team consisted of 4 students, Widia Maika Sari, Asri Lestari, Hasothiya Dwi Lestari Deflores (Public Health), and Gontang Ragil Prakasa (Information Engineering), as well as Oktomi Wijaya, S.K.M., M.Sc. as the supervisor.

From the explanation by Widia as the team leader, the idea of Catering for ​​Posyandu (Pocari) came from the high number of malnutrition problems in Indonesia and the project was an effort made to solve the problem.

"We focus on the first 1000 days of life, because it is a critical period and a period that determines the quality of one's life. The target is for pregnant women to focus on fulfilling the nutrition of their babies’ first 270 days of life. Mothers breastfeed for the first 180 days, and provide home-made MP-ASI for nutritional fulfillment for infants aged 6-24 months in the first 550 days of life."

The food menu provided is adjusted to the nutritional needs of a mother and her baby, based on the Number of Nutritional Needs (AKG). Pocari is also facilitated with an online application called "Mobile Pocari". Therefore, the ordering process can be done anywhere and anytime.

In the meantime, "Mobile Pocari" is still in the form of prototype (dummy). This online application which will make meal reservations easier is still in the process of refinement. There are four features provided, including Bumil (pregnancy) package, Busui (breastfeeding) package, Mpasi (complementary food) package, and Nutritional Information.

In addition to getting the prize of 20 million rupiah, as the winner, the UAD Team will be funded a maximum of 200 million to realize Pocari. In the process of the realization, there will be cooperation with and assistance from Japfa, Health Department and the Ministry of Health.

"The target area for the pilot testing of Pocari will be Nganjuk District, East Java. It is because the number of nutritional problems there is still high. Hopefully, our ideas can provide solutions to the nutritional problems that exist in Indonesia. If it is going according to our plan, this program can be a Posyandu program in Indonesia and recognized as Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)."

The realization of Pocari and "Mobile Pocari" is certainly not without problems. Because it uses an online system, there must be internet connection to access this application. The problem is, not all areas in Indonesia have internet access. Therefore, the team is still developing an application that can be accessed offline. (ard)

Learn How to Maintain Memory Capacity

/in /by
 
 
Last Saturday (16/12/2017), Bimalukar Literature Community (KSB) Wonosobo held Book Discussion (BB) #16. The event is a routine done by KSB, which is held once a month. However, the BB this time was not like the previous book discussions. Sule Subaweh, a writer who was born in Madura, was present in the event along with Rakai Lukman, a writer from Gresik, East Java.
 
BB #16 event which took place at Mandala Tourism Gate, Wonosobo (Mendolo Station Complex) was actually included in the series of events organized by KSB. The activity was fully supported by Wonosobo Tourism Department. The theme for BB #16 was "Publishing". This was in line with the main theme of Wonosobo's Creative Economy Week, because book publication was one of the economic products.
 
In BB #16, both Sule and Lukman became the first writers who published their solo book. With a title of Bedak dalam Pasir, Sule wrote short stories, while Lukman wrote his poems in a book entitled Banjir Bantaran Bengawan.
 
"The event that was attended by students from Wonosobo became one of the benchmarks that local literature is experiencing a dynamic," said Ardy Suryantoko as the chairman of KSB.
 
The nearly three-hour activity covered a lot of things, but there was one point that really mattered which was about creative process.
"Writing is one way to take care of our memory," Lukman said in the discussion. In line with this idea, Sule added, "The writing process will make us human beings who will not easily forget about things."
Everyone can write, but not everyone can be istiqomah. Yet, this is exactly how someone can keep developing and continue to grow, by doing something diligently.
 
Lukman added, "Writing is not enough, a more important thing to do than writing is doing research and/or reading."
"The best nutrition intake for a writer comes from reading books," Sule said during the discussion.
 
Sule and Lukman’s presence along with their books, Bedak dalam Pasir and Banjir Bantaran Bengawan, at the very least, had become a precious contribution to the development of our local books. At the end of the event, Sule and Lukman both advised that the life and continuity of local literature was in the hands of the local youth. Therefore, BB #16 which was organized by KSB and Wonosobo Tourism Department was at least able to give insight that book publishing could also become a part of the economic market. (ards)
