Emic and Ethic Knowledge of Bamboo’s Characteristic in Process of Making Angklung

Bamboo as raw material of angklung has not received special attention yet, whereas the quality of angklung will be highly influenced by the quality of bamboo as its main material. Only bamboo with certain character can produce angklung with the quality of good sound and proper tone. Unfortunately the knowledge of the local community regarding the characteristics of bamboo is still qualitative hence that the process of knowledge inheritance was obstructed. Therefore in this research, society knowledge (emic knowledge) will be translated scientifically in order to obtain the quantitative data of bamboo characteristic for angklung. The methods used was a qualitative and quantitative descriptive. The emic data was collected with deep interview with the selected informants in purposive. The key informant on this research was the owner of Bale Angklung Bandung. Quantifying emic data was conducting by the measurement and laboratory test of physical properties (the water content), chemical properties (the concentration of sugar reducing/Luff Schoorl) and anatomy (the density of vascular bundles). The measurement aimed to determine the reed diameter, the minimum length of internode, the physical condition of drying, the reed uprightness, the reed roundness, and the depreciation. The result showed that the scope of local knowledge regarding making angklung was varying. Not all of the craftsmen understood the steps and the characteristics of bamboo that used in the main material selection process. Some of bamboo characteristic for angklung could be quantifying, including the chosen bamboo which having 44 cm of minimum length, the reed uprightness was 45-90˚ above the ground, and the circles reed round with the maximum diameter change tolerate outside the reed is 0,15 cm. But there are still many more local knowledge that could not be construed scientifically so it needs further excavation. In main material selection process, the most treatment and bamboo characteristic selection was conducted to gather bamboo in the low water and sugar level at average 7.5% and 0.54%. The low water level will prevent the reed shrinks after drying process. After drying, the bamboo will be compact with the average of density vascular bundles is 142.63 number/mm

Mini-Review Mengenai Pemanfaatan Material Berbasis Polimer Koordinasi Berpori untuk Penyimpanan Hidrogen

This review aims to summarize the various types of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and their utilization for hydrogen storage. MOFs have high surface area, flexibility, good stability and tunability, various active sites, and abundant raw materials. These characteristics make MOFs worthy of being considered as a new material in hydrogen storage applications. The potential for using MOFs is very broad because its properties can be determined from the choice of metal and linker. Hydrogen gas storage commonly requires high pressure tanks whereas in liquid form, it requires cryogenic temperatures due to its very low boiling point, the challenge is to synthesize MOF with high hydrogen adsorption capacity under mild conditions. Moreover, it is crucial to learn about the relationship among the pore volume and surface area of MOFs, physisorption of hydrogen, and adsorption condition

Prospects of Indonesian Rice Self-sufficiency As a Food Security Effort Using a Dynamic System Model

Problems at the level of rice production faced include reduced agricultural land due to land conversion, damage to irrigation networks, pests and diseases in production and not yet maximizing productivity because the use of seeds and fertilizers has not been optimal. Meanwhile, at the consumer level, the need for rice continues to increase, both to meet industrial needs, to meet household (RT) and non-RT needs. The purpose of this research is to simulate a scenario of achieving self-sufficiency in rice in the dynamic system model, to find out the key factors that determine the achievement of self-sufficiency in rice in Indonesia and to develop policy recommendations needed to achieve self-sufficiency in rice towards food security. The research method used is a system dynamic approach using secondary data to build a simulation model. The simulation results show that the paddy field printing program contributes the most to increasing rice self-sufficiency. Furthermore, the intensification and reduction of rice consumption, but these two policies did not have a major impact on self-sufficiency in rice, in contrast to the results of achieving self-sufficiency in the extensification program. But unfortunately, creating paddy fields, intensification in the form of using certified seeds and decreasing consumption are the biggest obstacles currently facing agricultural development

PENGARUH EDUKASI TERHADAP PENINGKATAN PENGETAHUAN MASYARAKAT TERKAIT SWAMEDIKASI

Introduction: Self-medication is an attempt to treat minor ailments independently before consulting to a doctor. In Indonesia, self-medication is always increasing every year. Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the percentage of the Indonesian population who self-medicated in 2020-2022 is 72.19%, 84.23%, and 84.34% respectively. Self-medication that is carried out has the potential for errors in disease diagnosis, delays in searching for the necessary treatment, inaccurate doses, and wrong administration methods. Therefore, knowledge is needed to carry out self-medication so as to prevent medication errors. Methods: The method used in this research is a literature study from various journals and websites using Mendeley and Harzing's Publish or Perish as sources (digital libraries). Result: The focus group discussion (FGD) method has a significant effect on increasing public knowledge about self-medication with the posttest scores of all respondents experiencing an increase indicating the range of assessments is in the good category. Then in the second article using online media there is a sufficient percentage of 4.48%. However, this education can contribute to increasing public knowledge about self-medication. Education using leaflet media and the Active Individual Learning Method (CBIA) method can increase public knowledge about self-medication. Conclusion: Education to the public can increase knowledge about self-medication. Of the three methods used, the method that most increased public knowledge about self-medication was focus group discussions (FGD) by holding discussions so that participants could be more active and understand the material more easily.    Pendahuluan: Swamedikasi merupakan upaya untuk mengobati penyakit ringan secara mandiri sebelum periksa ke dokter. Di Indonesia, upaya swamedikasi selalu melangalami peningkatan setiap tahunnya. Berdasarkan data dari Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS), persentase penduduk Indonesia yang melakukan pengobatan sendiri pada tahun 2020-2022 berturut-turut sebesar 72,19%, 84,23%, dan 84,34%. Swamedikasi yang dilakukan dapat berpotensi kesalahan dalam diagnosis penyakit, keterlambatan dalam mencari pengobatan yang diperlukan, dosis yang kurang tepat, dan cara pemberian yang salah. Oleh karena itu dibutuhkan sebuah pengetahuan untuk melakukan swamedikasi sehingga mencegah adanya medication error. Metode: Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah studi literatur dari berbagai jurnal dan website dengan menggunakan Mendeley dan Harzing’s Publish or Perish sebagai sumber (digital library). Hasil: Metode focus group discussion (FGD) memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap peningkatan pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai swamedikasi dengan nilai posttest semua responden mengalami peningkatan yang menunjukkan range penilaian masuk dalam kategori baik. Kemudian pada artikel kedua menggunakan media online terdapat persentase nilai cukup sebesar 4,48%. Akan tetapi, edukasi tersebut dapat menyumbangsih peningkatan pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai swamedikasi. Edukasi dengan menggunakan media leaflet dan metode Cara Belajar Insan Aktif (CBIA) dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai swamedikas Kesimpulan: Edukasi kepada masyarakat dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan mengenai swamedikasi. Dari ketiga metode yang digunakan, metode yang paling meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai swamedikasi adalah focus group discussion (FGD) dengan mengadakan diskusi sehingga peserta dapat lebih aktif dan mudah dalam memahami materi.     &nbsp

Kata Kunci: Pemahaman Konsep, NHT, Pembelajaran Tematik. ----- ABSTRACT The thematic learning process at Gandamekar Elementary School was allegedly not oriented towards learning that was active, effective, and exciting. Learning that is carried out centrally on teacher activities carried out involves students to be directly involved in learning, presumably still low and low teachers in utilizing the supporting infrastructure of learning well, and improving in collaborating learning models. This study discusses teacher teaching learning, student learning activities, the use of infrastructure to support learning, and understanding student concepts through the application of the Numbered Head Together (NHT) model on the theme of safety at home and travel. The research method used was Classroom Action Research (CAR) with three Suharsimi Arikunto cycle models. Data collection is done through tests, collection and implementation. The research subjects were second grade students of Gandamekar Elementary School. The results showed that teacher teaching activities from cycle 1 to cycle 3 increased the acquisition significantly. Such is the case with student learning activities from cycles 1 to 3 cycles which improve very well. Along with teacher activities starting from cycle 1 to cycle 3, correct it. Together using infrastructure supports learning from cycles 1 through 3 cycles to improve optimal improvement. And by understanding the concept of students in the first cycle, including the good category. In the second cycle, after being corrected, improve with a very good category. In cycle 3 it is in the very good category. This means that the Numbered Head Together (NHT) learning model cannot be used. Keywords: Understanding of Concepts, NHT, Thematic Learning
