This community service aims to increase the Structural Engineering Education (PTB) Study Program students’ awareness towards the community, especially children at the Darul Falah Orphanage. The activity started with a variety of exciting and interesting games. The games, among others, are marbles racing, guessing words, and painting. The children at the Darul Falah Orphanage looked very enthusiastic in playing the games.

After the game, the activity is followed by vegetable plantings, such as tomatoes, chilies, and eggplants. This vegetable planting activity utilizes secondhand goods such as plastic bottles as planting media or pots. It aims to train the children’s creativity at the Darul Falah Orphanage in using plastic waste and secondhand goods. The activity was concluded by providing education on the importance of maintaining cleanliness and a healthy lifestyle to children at the Darul Falah Orphanage.

Muhammad Kuat Mulyanto, as the Chair of the Himapensil FKIP UNS PKM Committee, hopes that the committee and students can increase their social awareness through the community service program. This means that they can develop a better awareness of their surrounding communities that need attention and a helping hand.

The community service program was held with support from the Institute of Research and Community Service (LPPM) UNS. The RG was led by Prof. Suranto, M.Sc., Ph.D., and Dr. Solichatun, M.Si., Dr. Nita Etikawati, M.Si., Dr. Widya Mudyantini, M.Si., Ari Pitoyo, M.Sc., Suratman, M.Si., and Ardo Tanjung, M.Sc., as community service members.

The event was held with Farmers Group (Klomtan) Tani Mulyo Kramen members as community service partner since 2019 and aimed to provide assistance for the development of UBILAR Production House as a means for the local women to share their creativity. The production house has also explored the local potential to improve the economy of people in Kramen Hamlet, Pablengan Village. UBILAR Production House has produced various processed foods from sweet potatoes, including sweet potato flour, dodol, brownies, and various biscuits.

“One of the problems that have been identified during the pandemic is the significant decline in production due to the halt in the product promotion and marketing,” Prof. Suranto stated to uns.ac.id on Thursday (28/10/2021).

To solve this issue, PKM RG Plant Biometry planned several activities, including the assistance to apply for a Home Industry Product license (PIRT) for UBILAR sweet potato flour. The team also provided a workshop for product marketing through social media, food photography training, and website management for UBILAR production house for information sharing and product marketing media that maximizes the use of digital technology.

The food photography training and marketing workshop was held through the Zoom Cloud Meeting platform after the participants were introduced to the platform. The event involved students from Kelompok Studi Biopix that focuses on biological photography. The group shared information on the basic knowledge in photography and tips and tricks in taking the best picture in food photography. This skill will help UBILAR in creating its promotional and marketing content. The team also assisted in the development of https://rumahproduksiubilar.com/ as UBILAR Production House website that contains product information, order information, and general information of the production house.

Supervised by Dr. agr. Ir. Muhammad Cahyadi, S.Pt., M.Biotech., IPM, the Team members are Mohammad Ilham Dhiaurridho, Firmansyah Tristadika Prakosa, Firna Fauziatul Karimah, Salsabilla Ramadhana, and Ine Febriantama. They are Animal Science Program students of the Faculty of Agriculture (FP) UNS. The study was initiated because of the high report of lactose-intolerant people in Indonesia. The team tried to study the cause of intolerance and found that the A1 variant that contains proline amino acid in the polypeptide chain beta-casein is one of the causes. The team leader, Mohammad Ilham Dhiaurridho, explained that this milk variant contains polypeptide BCM-7 that affects the production and activity of lactose enzymes that causes digestive problems such as abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea.

“Our concern was the Indonesian community did not meet their nutritional needs because they are reluctant to consume milk due to diarrhea that occurs after consuming milk. Therefore we conducted a study and found that Friesian Holsten (FH) Indonesia cow that could produce A2 variant and ready to be developed as the producer of digestive-friendly milk,” Ilham explained on Monday (18/10/2021).

The UNS PKM Team analyzed the beta-casein gene in 12 Friesien Holstein (FH) Indonesia cows and found the mutations in exon 7 of the beta-casein gene using DNA sequencing techniques. This mutation caused adenine to change into cytosine, thereby changing the amino acid composition of the beta-casein gene (CSN2) from histidine to proline.

This finding showed that the majority of FH cows in Indonesia bring an A1 variant alel of 0.417 (41.7%) and have a high probability of causing digestive issues. This study also found that 33% of FH cows in Indonesia produced an A2 milk variant that is friendly from people with lactose intolerance because it does not contain the BCM-7 compound and does not cause problems for a digestive system such as diarrhea.

This finding can be used as a factual basis in improving the genetic quality of FH cows in Indonesia that could produce a digestive-friendly A2 milk variant. Dairy farmers, industries, and the government could utilize this research finding in developing FH cows to produce A2 milk variants. Various benefits are projected from this product, such as reducing lactose intolerant cases, increasing community milk consumption, and fulfilling people’s nutritional needs. This condition will have a positive effect on maintaining the immune system amid the pandemic. Humas UNS

Under the supervision of Dr. Kundharu Saddhono, M. Hum., as the Faculty Member of PBSI FKIP UNS, Aldi and team prepared a PKM-AI proposal titled “Friday Preacher in Javanese Language as an Effort to Maintain Indigenous Language: Socio-linguistics Study in Surakarta”. Aldi explained that the title is selected based on their willingness to study Friday Preach from the socio-linguistic aspect to sharpened the socio-cultural studies of a community and its speakers.

“We selected the theme because we want to study Friday Preach, which is a religious agenda with formal and even sacred background. However, the sacredness of this event is affected by the khatib as the speaker and their community socio-cultural condition. This is why Friday Preach is interesting to be studied from the socio-linguistic aspect because it will sharpen the community socio-cultural study and its speakers. Secondly, it is clearly affected by the context of the speech, including speech components,” Aldi explained.

The outcome of their project is the research finding published in Sinta indexed national journal. Aldi explained that their finding is expected to have three benefits. First, to propose an in-depth and comprehensive theory on Friday Preach in the Javanese Language based on the current and real data. Second, to develop socio-linguistic theories such as anthropo-linguistic, religious sociology, and cultural sociology. Third, contributing to preserving the Javanese language as local wisdom in Surakarta.

In the future, Aldi and team hoped that more PKM-AI UNS team could win PKM Kemendikbudristek incentive. “If this year there are 13 teams from UNS who win the PKM-AI, we hope next year it could be more than 20 teams PKM-AI who win PKM Kemendikbudristek incentive,” Aldi concluded. Humas UNS
