The Grant provided is the Portable Drum Incinerator to incinerate or destroy various types of waste, especially sterilized waste, masks, and others. This tool is considered a fast and efficient means to prevent the misuse of waste. This Grant is part of a series of community services that have been conducted for a while. Previously, the PKM Team of the Biology Study Program, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) UNS provided raw material to handle virus attacks on horticulture plants such as chili plants, tomatoes, watermelon, eggplant, and others. “To support the program objectives, on this day, we handed the incinerator for virus-infected plants. Viral attacks must be handled properly. Otherwise, losses due to this disease can reach 20 percent to 80 percent,” explained Prof. Suranto as the PKM Team Leader, Tuesday (31/5/2022).

Viral infection on horticulture plants must be controlled to prevent the losses that haunt horticulture farmers. This tool is useful not only for horticulture viruses but also for handling viruses that attack animals, for example, in cases of avian influenza, Prof. Suranto added.

Prof. Suranto hopes that the use of the Portable Drum Incinerator can be useful for the horticulture farmer in eradicating the virus. He also hopes that the partnership established between UNS and CV MGA Karanganyar can go on smoothly because many students have done course experiments and field trips in the institution.

“Hopefully, MGA CEO and Director kindness, who has been collaborating with UNS for a long time, can also last for a long time. Similarly, students’ field trips and experiments, which have been conducted in collaboration with this institution, can go flawlessly,” concluded Prof. Suranto. Humas UNS

The Chief of Managing Committee of the talkshow, Prof. Dr. MTH. Sri Budiastuti, stated that this talkshow shared the stories from each invited professor in running their role as academia and a mom.

“In this occasion, eleven female professors will share the role of women who participate in advancing the nation, state, and their loved institution through a real work while performing their function as a partner for their husbands and mother for their children,” Prof. Tutik stated.

The eleven professors invited in this event are Prof. Dr. Wiedy Murtini, Prof. Dr. Izza Mafruhah, Prof. Dr. Siswandari, Prof. Dr. MTH. Sri Budiastuti, Prof. dr. Ari N. Probandari, Ph.D., Prof. Dr. Chatarina Muryani, Prof. Dr. I Gusti Ayu KRH, Prof. Dr. Okid Parama Astirin, Prof. Dr. Hartiwiningsih, Prof. Dr. Suciati, and Prof. Dr. Susy Susmartini.

The Rector of UNS, Prof. Dr. Jamal Wiwoho, appreciated the talkshow and stated that these professors have a great role because they need to handle two roles, as a mother and academia in the campus. Prof. Jamal also revealed that the Covid-19 pandemic had put a more significant burden on the professors because they are demanded to do many things simultaneously.

“The Covid-19 pandemic has put enormous pressure on each family, including these female professors. The female professors had played a remarkable role in assisting and adapting to the new life. The role of a mother is tested to perform their role during Covid-19, not to mention amid the tumultuous activities of the mother,” Prof. Jamal stated.

Prof. Jamal also appreciated the role of female professors who continue to be active in educating the community through various means possible.

“I deliver my gratitude. I appreciate the UNS professor’s devotion, who continues to be the vanguard of academic research in Indonesia. Many webinars were held by UNS Board of Professors,” he added.

To celebrate the success of UNS female professors, Prof. Jamal presented a song, “Kasih Ibu” (Love of a Mother), for the attendees. He stated that this song fully describes the unlimited role of a mother in teaching and accompanying their children. Humas UNS

The post Commemorating Mother’s Day, Board of Professor UNS Held a Talkshow with Eleven Female Professors appeared first on Universitas Sebelas Maret.

Inviting two speakers, the webinar was held online through the Zoom Cloud Meeting application and live-streamed on the UNS YouTube channel on Monday (13/12/2021). Two invited speakers are Prof. Dr. Agus Kristiyanto as UNS Columnist and Vice-Dean at the School of Postgraduate Studies and Iwan Kurniawan from Tempo Institute.

The webinar on opinion column writing was officially opened by the Rector of UNS, Prof. Jamal Wiwoho. In his opening remark, the Rector appreciated the webinar because opinion column writing in mass media has great benefits for participants who like to write to the media. Prof. Jamal also thinks that UNS faculty members have a large opportunity to share their ideas through writing, considering the diverse disciplines in UNS that could translate into various topics of discussion. Through their writing, UNS faculty members could share their ideas and contribute to solving the nations’ problems.

“I truly hope that the members of the Board of Professors and all participants could find solutions for local, national, and even international level,” Prof. Jamal added.

Widely accessible and available for the public, writing in mass media could improve people’s awareness of the issues in Indonesia. “Writing also elevates us, elevate our delf identity,” Prof. Jamal added.

Attending the same occasion, the Chairman of the UNS Board of Professor, Prof. Suranto Tjiptowibisono, agreed to Prof. Jamal. Although, writing in media is not an easy task that requires experience and patience. Prof. Suranto emphasized that journal writing tends to be formal and difficult to understand for common people, while the information contained in such writing is accessible for everyone.

“Our highly formal writing in the form of the journal needs to be modified and shared to people who are not in that particular field of study but also understand the topic,” Prof. Suranto stated.

Therefore, Prof. Suranto hoped that through this webinar, UNS Board of Professors and UNS faculty members could share their ideas in mass media and facilitate accessibility towards such discussion for people. The Chairman of the UNS Board of Professor also added that currently, 12 articles from the UNS Board of Professor are under publishing process by Cambridge Publishing Company. Humas UNS

In his opening remark, Prof. Jamal stated that it is appropriate for a campus to be committed to implementing and monitoring the nation’s character building.

“Campus is a miniature of the community because it has diverse people with different backgrounds, races, religions, thoughts, ideologies, and interests, who gather in a system,” Prof. Jamal stated.

The Rector added that the true miniature of the nation had been presented in UNS with its six places of worship in one close area. The six places of worship are Mosque, the Catholic church, the Christian church, Hindu Temple (Pura), Buddhist Temple (Vihara), and the Confucian Temple. (Klenteng). Prof. Jamal also emphasized that he believes that through correct and strong Pancasila education, the university could achieve humane and diversity-friendly campus life that will continue upholding the values of tolerance, tepo seliro (Javanese philosophy of helping each other without discrimination), togetherness, and kinship.

The discussion that followed the opening remark was moderated by Prof. Pujiyono. All participants received an opportunity to deliver their ideas in defining UNS as Pancasila vanguard in this discussion. Prof. Hasan mentioned that the values in Pancasila must be applied by all UNS academic members through small things in the surrounding environment, at home, and in the academic environment.

Prof. Susy Susmartini also mentioned the examples of Pancasila Vanguard implementation by the student association she supervised, Voca Erudita. She explained that despite a large number of members, but Voca Erudita could perform together and achieved numerous awards. Prof. Susy stated that one of the values upheld in Voca Erudita is togetherness.

“Before concert or competition, they shared their feelings. Whatever disturbing their minds are shared with their fellow members; this aims to avoid talking in one’s back and to maintain togetherness,” Prof. Susy stated. Humas UNS
