Psikoedukasi Siaga Bencana Untuk Siswa Siswi Sekolah Islam Athirah

Hasdinar Umar — 2024-12-21

Makassar is one of the cities in Indonesia that is unlikely to be free from natural disasters. The problem is that the community, especially school-age children, is not yet responsive and alert and does not understand disaster preparedness's importance. Low knowledge, lack of information provision, and disaster risk management can increase the number of victims. Athirah Islamic School, one of the partners in this service, provides facilities for Psychoeducation activities for students. From this problem, a solution for disaster risk reduction is needed by giving psychoeducation (disaster mental health) and disaster preparedness around general reactions (behavior, emotion, cognition, and physical). Psychoeducation materials will be delivered by the Bosowa University psychology team, also partners in this Service activity. The implementation method of this service program includes mentoring and disaster preparedness training from a psychological perspective. The research method used in this service is experimental with a pretest-posttest design approach. The statistical analysis results showed a difference in student knowledge regarding disaster preparedness before and after participating in psychoeducation with a sig <0.05. This service concludes that the training provided to Athirah Bukit Baruga Islamic Middle School students positively impacts students' disaster preparedness knowledge.

Pemanfaatan Solar Cell pada Sistem Pertanian Hidroponik Cerdas di Samata Green House Group Indonesia, Kabupaten Gowa

Zaenab Muslimin — 2024-12-21

Hydroponics is a planting technique using water-based nutrient solutions, not through soil media, like conventional farming. This hydroponic system solves the problems arising from soil-based farming that requires plowing and weeding and is susceptible to pests, climate, and the need for large land areas. However, to produce quality soil, the hydroponic system requires monitoring of nutrients, temperature, humidity, water content, pH, and light. Developing a smart hydroponic system or a system based on Artificial Intelligence of Things (IoT) can guarantee these parameters online or in real-time monitoring. The next problem is the need for a continuous and reliable supply of electrical energy so that the built AIoT-based hydroponic system can work optimally. Disruption of electrical continuity will affect the crop yields from this system. Therefore, the Community Service (PkM) activity from the Department of Electrical Engineering, Hasanuddin University, conducted socialization of the use of solar cells (solar panels) in the AIoT-based smart hydroponic system, which is a solution to the problem of the continuity of electricity supply at the Samata Green House (SGH) Group, as a partner of the activity, which still fully uses electricity from PLN. Based on the results of quantitative analysis of pre-test (before socialization) and post-test (after socialization) measurements by activity participants, an increase in the level of understanding of participants was obtained, which was initially 11-55% "quite understanding" to "understanding" of the components of the Solar Power Plant (PLTS) system, as well as how to operate and maintain PLTS, to 100% of participants "quite understanding" to "very understanding" regarding these parameters. This indicates that this activity has achieved the expected targets.

Syarifuddin Mabe Parenreng — 2024-12-21

Mas Dimas Stall and The Dill Restaurant are Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) that have a restaurant business with various types of food and are famous among students. Both MSMEs want to have a halal logo on their restaurants and also to follow government regulations regarding halal certification, but are constrained by the lack of information circulating in the community so that they have not submitted halal certification to the Halal Guarantee Institution (LPH). Therefore, this community service activity aims to provide and increase knowledge and understanding of MSME actors who will provide information about what steps must be taken by MSME actors to get a halal logo on their business, especially about the documents they must prepare for the preparation of a halal manual which is the initial step for submitting halal certification. The implementation process will begin with the provision of a pre-test then continued with the socialization of the preparation of the halal manual, continued with a discussion and ended with the provision of a post-test. The results of this analysis state that participants' knowledge of the halal manual increased significantly, as can be seen from the results of the pre-test and post-test for the halal theory assessment aspect from 42% to 94%, the systematic preparation of the halal manual from 30% increased to 90% and the report on the preparation of a simple halal manual from 24% to 76%, so it can be stated that this community service activity was successful.

Sosialisasi Aplikasi E-learning Bahasa Bugis dengan Fitur Penerjemahan Aksara Lontara di SMPN 2 Pangkajene

Ingrid Nurtanio — 2024-12-21

Preservation of indigenous languages, especially Bugis with Lontara script, is an important challenge in the digital era. In school activities, mastery and learning of local languages are associated with one subject, namely Muatan Lokal. However, the main problem that is often encountered is the use of indigenous languages that are increasingly minimally socialized, thus reducing students' interest and motivation in learning this local language, especially in SMP Negeri 2 Pangkajene Class VII. This community service aims to be a forum for socializing research results in the Department of Informatics and Electrical Engineering, Hasanuddin University in the form of an E-learning application that facilitates interactive learning of Bugis with Lontara script. In addition, this activity is expected to contribute to the advancement of knowledge and technology by providing E-learning tools, in the form of mobile applications, to support learning both at school and at home. The process of introducing this application involves quantitative analysis in the form of an initial survey (pre-test) which includes the user experience (in this case students) when learning Bugis and then ends with a final survey (post-test) and System Usability Scale (SUS) testing to determine the student's experience when using this Bugis language application. The results obtained indicate the formation of Bugis language learning motivation after participants are familiar with this E-learning application with an increase of 52% from 32% less motivated to 84% very motivated. In addition, this Bugis language E-learning application also reached an acceptable level based on SUS with a value of 74.

Gusnawati Gusnawati — 2024-12-21

Waste is anything that is no longer used from all human activities, where, if not managed properly, it can hurt the surrounding community, including waste dumped into water channels such as rivers, which carry the waste to the sea and pollute the sea. Plastic waste is included in it. The amount of this waste continues to increase over time. The use of equipment made of plastic because it is light, unbreakable, flexible, practical, economical, and can replace the function of other items, such as use for drinking water packaging, food containers, and others, encourages increased production of plastic waste. Skills are needed in processing and converting this plastic waste into goods that have economic value and are helpful, especially for residents who live around rivers and coastal areas, including on the coast of Muara Abu Beach, West Oesapa. Therefore, this service aims to provide practical solutions by providing skills to women on the coast of Muara Abu Beach who have a profession as scavengers who join PKH Kasih Dua RT. 001/RW 001, Oesapa Barat Village, Kupang City, to implement waste bank management and plastic waste processing techniques that cannot be deposited into the waste bank, namely with a plastic waste shredder machine, so that residual waste has economic value. The implementation of community service using interview and training methods related to waste bank management and the use of plastic waste shredder machines. The pre-test and post-test results of community service participants showed that 65% of the participant's knowledge of the activity material was an essential reason for the sustainability of similar programs for other community environments. It is hoped that activities like this can provide solutions to problems related to waste around the partner's residence.

Muhammad Alief Fahdal Imran, S.T., M.Sc — 2024-12-21

The INS Cooperative, which is located in Takalar Regency, South Sulawesi Province, has 11 MSMEs that collaborate with this cooperative. However, the low digital literacy of business actors in the INS Cooperative in managing and marketing their products means that the Cooperative's performance is less than optimal. The solution to overcome the problems faced is through modernization in terms of cooperative management to the concept of product marketing. The method used is a website-based information system modeling method and outreach and training to business actors, INS Cooperative managers and local communities who then carry out a survey. The survey was conducted with 11 business actors who are members of the INS Cooperative and 10 managers and communities who are members of the INS Cooperative to measure respondents' responses and to measure the level of success of the service carried out. As many as 76% of respondents initially did not understand the use of the cooperative website, but after socialization and training, 85% showed an increase in understanding of the use of the website. The level of difficulty in accessing information via the website also decreased significantly after the program was completed. The socialization and training carried out as a form of community service succeeded in increasing the digital literacy of business actors, the community and INS Cooperative managers, especially in using websites for cooperative operations. This program is also effective in reducing barriers to information access, significantly supporting the digital transformation of cooperatives.

Kontribusi Masyarakat terhadap Eksplorasi Bambu sebagai Material Konstruksi Hunian Humanis di Pedesaan

Imriyanti Imriyanti — 2024-12-21

Most housing materials are made of manufactured materials so that houses/residences do not give the impression of being one with their environment. The large use of manufactured materials causes building materials that are easily obtained around housing or organizations to no longer be utilized, such as bamboo. Houses in Kalase'rena sub-district predominantly use manufactured materials so that the use of bamboo as a Natural Resource (SDA) is no longer utilized, with the reduced use of bamboo as a housing/residence material, how is the role of the community/its contribution in exploring it as a humanistic housing material. The purpose of this service is to increase the community's contribution to the exploration of natural materials in community housing buildings that can be integrated with their environment, reduce costs and increase the level of community togetherness. The service was carried out by distributing questionnaires, identification and direct meetings with the Kalase'rena sub-district community. The initial response from the community to the use of bamboo as a humanistic housing material was very minimal (2%). This service achievement is that the role and understanding of the community towards the processing of bamboo as a humanistic housing material has increased from the economic (90%) and social (94%) fields. This influences the public's understanding of humanist housing which is very beneficial for the community directly in the Kalase'rena sub-district.

Sosialisasi Area Aktivitas Wisata Pantai Biru Berdasarkan Kontur Batimetri di Kelurahan Tanjung Merdeka Kecamatan Tamalate Kota Makassar

Taufiqur Rachman — 2024-12-21

The tourist activities at Blue Beach are divided into 3 categories: swimming, water rides and fishing. The implementation of activities in the water poses a risk to tourists, which has the potential to cause accidents and even fatalities. This is due to the lack of segregation of areas for the implementation of the three beach tourism activities, which makes it difficult for tour managers to monitor tourists. For this reason, tour managers will be equipped with knowledge on the importance of dividing beach tourism activity areas based on bathymetric contours and the use of warning flags as safety signs for beach tourism activities. This socialisation can increase the awareness of tourism managers of potential hazards and disasters in the tourist sites they manage, by completing early warning signs of potential hazards of beach tourism activities. This socialisation is done in partnership with community-based tourism managers, namely Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) of Tanjung Merdeka. The increase in knowledge and understanding of the socialisation material among the participants was 44.9 points. The service activity safety sign products were submitted by the service team in the form of a Blue Beach tourism activity map based on bathymetry contours and beach safety warning flags as occupational safety and health-based signs in the Blue Beach tourism area.

Sosialisasi Teknik Penyambungan Papan Kulit ke Gading dan Lunas pada Kapal Kayu dengan Rangka Konstruksi Baja

Ganding Sitepu — 2024-12-21

The construction of wooden boats for fishermen in South Sulawesi is starting to find it difficult to get high-quality wood, especially for boat hulls. An alternative to wood as a wooden ship hull is steel. The problem of joining or fastening planking boards made of wood with a steel frame is not fully understood by the wooden boat craftsmen in Galesong. For this reason, this activity aims to socialize the binding of planking boards with wooden ship steel frames to the "Patorani" craftsman group in Galesong District, Takalar Regency. The activity was carried out using the lecture method (socialization) and a simple demonstration using a wooden ship model. The results of the activity showed that the members of the craftsman group were very enthusiastic about participating in the activity and hoped that steel could replace wood as a ship construction material. Prior to the activity, almost none of the craftsmen group members had seen and knew that steel could be used as a ship's hull, and at the end of the socialization, they believed that steel could be a substitute for wood as a wooden ship's hull so that the construction and production of wooden ships would continue. Furthermore, it is also seen that members of the craftsman group can understand the technique of installing or fastening planking boards to steel frames.

Transplantasi Coral sebagai Aksi Peduli Lingkungan untuk Pemanfaatan yang Berkelanjutan

Ashury dj — 2024-12-22

The existence of coral reefs in Indonesia ranks first in area and type. The total area of coral reefs owned by Indonesia is 14% of the total area of coral reefs in the world. Coral reefs have an important value in life, both in terms of ecology to promising economic value. Therefore, the Department of Marine Engineering in collaboration with partners of the South Sulawesi Provincial Tourism Office held an activity “Coral Transplantation as an Environmental Care Action for sustainable use”. This activity has the aim of providing an understanding of the importance of knowledge about the economic and environmental benefits of coral reefs as a beach / sun tourism attraction for domestic and foreign tourists to visit the province of South Sulawesi, especially on Badi Island in Pangkep Regency (Pangkajene Islands). Coral reefs that have been damaged require a long time to recover, due to the slow growth rate of corals. Therefore, human intervention through various methods and means becomes indispensable to improve and rehabilitate the condition of coral reefs. One rehabilitation technique that has been widely recognized and applied in various parts of the world is coral transplantation. By using lecture and discussion methods, as well as coral reef rehabilitation efforts through the real action of coral transplantation. The results obtained showed that there was an increase in knowledge before and after the community participated in the activity and the degradation of coral reefs that occurred could be restored through transplantation of 500 donor corals. The conclusion of this activity indicates that the presentation of material in the form of lectures and discussions has increased community knowledge, and the real action of coral reef transplantation can increase coral reef colonies as a sustainable use.
