Peningkatan Keterampilan Pembuatan Olahan Minuman Berbahan Dasar Jahe sebagai Usaha Menguntungkan pada Kelompok PKK Kecamatan Wajak

Wonoayu merupakan Desa pembudidaya jahe dalam jumlah yang cukup  banyak, selama ini hasil budidaya dijual dalam bentuk mentah, beberapa di antaranya terbiasa mengolah jahe sebagai bubuk jahe instan dan kripik jahe,  belum variasnya produk olahan berbahan jahe ini menyebabkan nilai ekonomi jahe relative rendah. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan keterampilan masyarkat dalam mengolah jahe menjadi berbagai variasi produk, juga menyadarkan masyarkat akan peluang berwirausaha dari sector ini. Kelompok sasaran kegiatan adalah ibu-ibu yang tergabung dalam organisasi Pembinaan Kesejahteraan Keluarga (PKK). Tingkat keberhasilan kegiatan diukur dari tingkat ketertarikan dan partisipasi serta mutu produk akhir. Metode yang digunakan adalah tahapan analisis kebutuhan, sosialisasi dan pelatihan berbantuan video pembelajran. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan antusiasme peserta selama kegiatan pembuatan  produk sangat baik,  produk yang telah dihasilkan dan siap diproduksi untuk dipasarkan adalah ragam sirup dari bahan jahe, diantarnya adalah  minuman JEMON (Jahe Madu Lemon). Kata kunci— jahe lemon, , sirup jahe, wirausaha PKK Abstract Wonoayu is a village of ginger cultivators in large quantities, so far the cultivation products are sold in raw form, some of them are accustomed to processing ginger as instant ginger powder and ginger chips, the lack of variety in processed products made from ginger causes the economic value of ginger to be relatively low. This community service activity aims to improve community skills in processing ginger into various product variations, as well as making people aware of entrepreneurial opportunities in this sector. The target group for the activity are mothers who are members of the Family Welfare Development Organization (PKK). The level of success of the activity is measured by the level of interest and participation and the quality of the final product. The method used is the stage of needs analysis, socialization and training assisted by learning videos. The results of the activity showed that the enthusiasm of the participants during the product-making activities was very good. The products that have been produced and are ready to be produced for market are a variety of syrups made from ginger, including JEMON (Ginger Honey Lemon). Keywords— lemon ginger, ginger syrup, PKK entrepreneurshi

Radiation damage in the LHCb vertex locator

The LHCb Vertex Locator (VELO) is a silicon strip detector designed to reconstruct charged particle trajectories and vertices produced at the LHCb interaction region. During the first two years of data collection, the 84 VELO sensors have been exposed to a range of fluences up to a maximum value of approximately 45 × 1012 1 MeV neutron equivalent (1 MeV neq). At the operational sensor temperature of approximately −7 °C, the average rate of sensor current increase is 18 μA per fb−1, in excellent agreement with predictions. The silicon effective bandgap has been determined using current versus temperature scan data after irradiation, with an average value of Eg = 1.16±0.03±0.04 eV obtained. The first observation of n+-on-n sensor type inversion at the LHC has been made, occurring at a fluence of around 15 × 1012 of 1 MeV neq. The only n+-on-p sensors in use at the LHC have also been studied. With an initial fluence of approximately 3 × 1012 1 MeV neq, a decrease in the Effective Depletion Voltage (EDV) of around 25 V is observed. Following this initial decrease, the EDV increases at a comparable rate to the type inverted n+-on-n type sensors, with rates of (1.43±0.16) × 10−12 V/ 1 MeV neq and (1.35±0.25) × 10−12 V/ 1 MeV neq measured for n+-on-p and n+-on-n type sensors, respectively. A reduction in the charge collection efficiency due to an unexpected effect involving the second metal layer readout lines is observed

The development of a non-formal training programme for extra-institutional pre-school child care: the LiMErIC project

The level of migration across Europe has vastly increased over the years. In order for the successful integration of migrant families to occur in their new homeland, it is important to understand the process of language development and to encourage intercultural awareness and tolerance.High quality early years education and care has been defined as a priority and pre-school education has a key role and responsibility for fostering cultural inclusion. The stage of child development during which language acquisition takes place is seen as a vital period in which to nurture social participation. But it also coincides with a time where children from immigrant backgrounds will face difficulties when presented with a lack of support in bilingual language acquisition. The extra-institutional education sector plays a very important role in childcare but there appears to be a lack of general knowledge in educators and adults working in this sector on the topics of supporting language learning and intercultural competences. A European partnership was set up to address the need to improve the level of competency, in adults working in extra-institutional child care, about language development and intercultural issues. The Language Meets Intercultural Competencies (LiMErIC) project aimed to gauge the level of knowledge of language development and intercultural issues of those working in pre-school child care and to develop a blended learning training programme. A target group of adults working in the early years child care sector was identified in each partner country. A needs analysis questionnaire was then developed to gauge the level of need and interest for a non-formal training programme. Data from the needs analysis survey provided a snap-shot of the current level of knowledge, awareness and competencies in language development and intercultural issues and provided the starting point for the development of the LiMErIC curriculum. Ten modules were written; each consists of e-learning and face-to-face units. The module contents were then incorporated into a handbook for the course trainers which included detailed notes together suggested didactics and methodology. The training programme was implemented in 4 of the partner countries and evaluated using pre-and post-course self-rated questionnaires. Overall, the course was evaluated as being appropriate for the target group and response was positive for both the topics covered and content. The e-learning sections of the course proved to be quite challenging for most participants and was also more time consuming than had been expected. The LiMErIC project has developed and piloted a non-formal training programme for adults working in the early childhood education setting.Those working in this sector are often a parent’s first experience of a country’s education system and have a vital role to play in promoting inclusion and maintaining cultural diversity in Europ

Charge collection properties of a depleted monolithic active pixel sensor using a HV-SOI process

New pixel detector concepts, based on commercial high voltage and/or high resistivity CMOS processes, are being investigated as a possible candidate to the inner and outer layers of the ATLAS Inner Tracker in the HL-LHC upgrade. A depleted monolithic active pixel sensor on thick film SOI technology is being extensively investigated for that purpose. This particular technology provides a double well structure, which shields the thin gate oxide transistors from the Buried Oxide (BOX). In addition, the distance between transistors and BOX is one order of magnitude bigger than conventional SOI technologies, making the technology promising against its main limitations, as radiation hardness or back gate effects. Its radiation hardness to Total Ionizing Dose (TID) and the absence of back gate effect up to 700 Mrad has been measured and published [1]. The process allows the use of high voltages (up to 300V) which are used to partially deplete the substrate. The process allows fabrication in higher resistivity, therefore a fully depleted substrate could be achieved after thinning. This article shows the results on charge collection properties of the silicon bulk below the BOX by different techniques, in a laboratory with radioactive sources and by edge Transient Current Technique, for unirradiated and irradiated samples
