Under the guidance of Lina Ari Astuti, the Bagas Waras Women’s Farmer Group is dedicated to improving women’s knowledge and skills in agriculture and natural ingredient processing. This group consists of determined and enthusiastic women striving to develop the agricultural potential and natural ingredient processing in their area. With a strong vision, they are committed to making Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA) a sustainable source of livelihood.

“Based on the vision of the Bagas Waras KWT, the RG D3 Pharmacy UNS team contributes to achieving this vision through efforts such as training on utilizing TOGA to create traditional scrubs,” Ulfa explained on Friday (7/6/2024).

The ingredients used included simplified powders from ylang-ylang, moringa, gotu kola, roselle, turmeric, and jasmine. The demonstration was led by Ulfa, with assistance from Lina Ari Astuti and several experienced KWT members in natural ingredient processing.

Results and Impact of Training

The training, held on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, was attended by 30 enthusiastic members of the Bagas Waras KWT, who actively participated. They not only gained new knowledge about natural cosmetics but also practical skills in making traditional scrubs that can be used daily or even sold as homemade products.

Ulfa expressed her hope that this training would enhance the welfare of Bagas Waras KWT members by opening new business opportunities based on local natural resources. “We hope that traditional scrubs from TOGA plants can become a village’s supreme product and provide economic benefits to the community,” Ulfa said.

The event was opened with an opening remark from the Chairman of HMP Pendidikan Fisika, Muhammad Khairul Annam Najahy, who mentioned that this event is important because the publication of the event during the pandemic requires a graphic design to attract more participants. The event was followed by a material presentation from Muhammad Fathurridlo, who shared materials on design as campaign media. Therefore, designers need to understand many types of media.

“We need to understand the types of design for campaign media or publication of an event. There are banners, posters, flyers, and others. Match the design with the need of your event,” Fathur stated.

Fathur also explained the components of campaign media, especially posters. “In general, the components of a poster are the host, name of the event, sub-theme of the event, names of speakers, place, time, platform, link, contact person, the benefits of the event, and sponsors if any,” Fathur said.

He added materials on tips in designing campaign media for publication, such as determining the grand theme, consistency, matching the target audiences, and measurable. Designers need to ensure that the contents are correct because it will affect the composition of the design. Designers also need to match their design with their audiences and the event, for example, the use of bright and colorful parts for an exciting event.

Fathur added a simulation of design making using Figma in his materials. He explained that Figma could be used for many things; it also provides teamwork use, offers diverse features, and is free to use. The event was concluded with a question-and-answer session, discussion, and group picture. Humas UNS

The general lecture was also attended by the Rector of UNS, Prof. Jamal Wiwoho, who also delivered an opening remark in the general lecture. Prof. Jamal stated that in the national anthem, there is a phrase (bangunlah jiwanya bangunlah badannya) that indicates that a strong and reliable nation should have the strength in souls, body, and religiosity that are equal.

“This is the strategic role of sports in building the quality, excellent and whole, human resources. Sports have a strategic contribution in creating healthy Indonesia with a strong character, and excelled at the global level in line with the grand vision of national sports,” Prof. Jamal mentioned in this remark.

The Operational Chief of BCA Branch Solo, Agustin, shared their pride in getting involved in the general lecture. Agustin hoped that this kind of event could create a positive sports climate that was stopped because of the pandemic. Unfortunately, the Menpora, Dr. Zainudin Amali, could not attend the event.

In his discussion, Dr. Sapta Kunta shared that in maintaining the immune system, a person needs to prepare a program that correlates with aerobic activities with a pulse as its main indicator.

“Aerobic capacity is correlated with a pulse. If, before training, someone needs to measure their aerobic capacity, it will be complicated. That is why researches on the correlation between aerobic capacity and pulse need to be studied. The pulse is detected from the maximum aerobic capacity,” he explained.

Dr. Sapta Kunta also added that the suggested aerobic training frequency is between three and five days a week, including walking, light cycling, slow dancing, jogging, running, spinning, high impact gymnastic, swimming, basketball, tennis, football, hiking, and other sports.

“For first-timers, continuous activities for 10 minutes. Gradually to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise/day, total, target 60–150 minutes/week. Then continue up to 30-60 minutes/day, a total of 150-200 minutes/week. For intermediate, moderate activity can be 30-90 minutes/day, total 200-300 minutes/week,” he added. Humas UNS
