LMK 2021 was held by the Student Executive Board (BEM) of Faculty of Engineering Universitas Sriwijaya, Palembang. Various universities send their students to participate in the competition, such as Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS), Universitas Indonesia (UI), Universitas Sriwijaya, and Universitas Diponegoro, with a total of 50 teams.

To uns.ac.id team, Tegar and Fadillah Rizky stated that they participated in LKM 2021 because they were interested in the theme, renewable energy. “I like the theme, renewable energy. Therefore, I discuss renewable energy topic as an increasingly developed national issue,” Tegar stated.

By participating in the competition, Tegar and Fadillah Rizky also wanted to enrich their experience in the scientific writing field. Their work discussed the installation of a biogas reactor from fish wastes in the coastal area. In their work, Tegar and Fadillah conducted a deep analysis of the economic condition of the coastal community that could be improved with the installation of a biogas reactor.

“Thus, indirectly, the partners in marines and fisheries business that apply this biogas reactor will benefit from (the system),” Tegar explained.

In preparing the essay, Tegar was inspired by his tutor in High School. Tegar and Fadillah Rizky also admitted that they did not expect that they would win 1^st place because both of them are students of Historical Science Program FIB UNS and participated for the first time.

“I was surprised because, for the essay, we were in 10^th place according to the score. And after the presentation, we won 1^st place. Very surprised because we did not have an experience in scientific writing, especially essay,” Tegar stated.

In the future, Tegar and Fadillah Rizky want to explore their potential in writing, especially in renewable energy topics. Tegar also admitted that he wants to collaborate with students from other programs to conduct research that will bring a proud name for UNS at the national and international levels. Humas UNS

Salman said that in his work, he discussed the relationship between Islam and science because people often contradicted both and stated that religion inhibits science development and vice versa; the development of science contradicts religion, while that is not correct. Islam is a universal value system and perfects that never contradicts science development, science, and technology.

“Both in Islam is a means to achieve development and benefit the mankind,” Salman stated on Saturday (18/12/2021).

He added that scientific culture is upheld in Islam with many Al Quran verses that encourage humans to study. He also explained that Islamic civilization in Abbasiyah time was once the mecca for global science development.

“Although many said it was because the leaders were liberal and progressive, but according to my references, at the time, there was no discourse between Islam and science. Curiosity based on faith brought the Muslim community to achieve their peak of intellectualism as a believer,” he added.

In the competition participated by students from various universities, Salman said that he was delighted to win the 1^st position in his first experience participating in a microblog competition. He explained that initially, he was interested in participating in a poster competition but later decided to participate in a microblog competition instead.

Through this achievement, the final semester student hoped that it could encourage him to participate in other similar competitions. He also hoped that the Muslim community could learn from Islamic glory in the Abbasiyah Caliphate era with its advanced science. Humas UNS
