Based on Fermentation Technology, Compost Waste Processing uses Effective Microorganisms to Manufacture Organic Fertilisers

Rappi Ahmad Ajini — 2023-08-01

Aims to teach and prepare farming communities to use natural resources, particularly household vegetable and fruit waste that hasn't been used effectively, by applying fermentation technology, which is still unfamiliar to many, to turn it into more useful and eco-friendly products using effective microorganisms. So far, the community has not gotten any intense attention or understanding about discovering alternate solutions that can be applied to trash, notably domestic organic waste. Bokashi fertiliser is an organic fertiliser created from the fermentation of organic resources, such as compost, and utilises microorganisms like bacteria or fermenting fungus. The outcome is a solid fertiliser that includes more nutrients, both macro and micro, which are ready to be taken by plant roots. The purpose of the fertiliser activity is to provide training and build community skills in processing organic materials from home garbage. The programme also seeks to introduce the community to fermentation technology for the disposal of organic waste. The effort empowers the community, particularly farmers, to cultivate an inventive mentality in solving environmental concerns, which covers activities such as mentoring, group involvement, and innovation. The results of this analysis have a favourable impact on the knowledge and abilities of the farming community regarding the use of domestic organic waste. The findings of the evaluation of the questionnaire suggested that participants felt the benefits of the activity, exhibited curiosity, received new knowledge, and were willing to implement it in their daily life

Employment of Rainwater Infiltration Wells for Flood Mitigation

Patti Rajunai — 2023-08-01

This region holds considerable attraction for tourists. The extensive expansion of tourist attractions renders this hamlet susceptible to waterlogging during the rainy season, attributable to insufficient water infiltration, resulting in frequent occurrences of waterlogging. The community also encounters the issue of inadequate management of spring water supplies. The approach we proposed involved the implementation of infiltration wells. This well serves as a receptacle for rainfall that either descends or flows from upstream and is then collected into a reservoir (SPAH). The Rainwater Harvesting System (SPAH) is a method for utilizing rainwater for everyday requirements. The fundamental premise is that the water entering the infiltration well is channeled to the reservoir. This initiative involves the establishment of infiltration wells to facilitate the acquisition of clean water for communities while mitigating concerns of waterlogging during the rainy season. We aim to assist the community by providing a complimentary clean water supply.

Instruction on the Appropriate Utilisation of Antibiotics to Safeguard the Community Against the Threat of Resistance

Zorosisti Racohet — 2024-01-22

Irrational drug utilisation has emerged as a global issue, with around 50% of medications
being prescribed, distributed, marketed, and utilised incorrectly by patients. The primary
concern with the irrational use of medications pertains to the inappropriate application of
antibiotics, which includes unsuitable drug types, incorrect dosages, prolonged administration,
and excessive usage in non-bacterial infections. This syndrome induces antibiotic resistance.
Individuals frequently use various antibiotics to address non-infectious ailments such as
coughs, influenza, and fevers without a physician's prescription, and these medications are
readily available at certain health institutions that lack comprehension of the requirements. This
initiative aims to inform the public about the hazards associated with the incorrect use of
antibiotics. This community outreach initiative involved counselling and video screenings
around antibiotic usage in DAGUSIBU. We evaluated the activity's success by administering
pretests and distributing posters to the participating community. We determined the overall
percentage of individuals who could accurately answer questions. The data processing results
indicate a rise in public comprehension and awareness of antibiotic resistance following
counselling sessions.

Sharif Rahmad Ali — 2024-01-22

Indonesia's substantial population, coupled with a rapid growth rate, has led to a rise in garbage generation, with the capital city producing 3.1 million tons of waste in 2023, predominantly consisting of organic waste. In 2023, East Jakarta generated the highest trash volume, totaling 844,252 tons annually. This is undoubtedly a responsibility for all stakeholders, from the government level to the family level. One initiative to diminish waste volume involves converting it into new goods, such as eco-enzymes. The community empowerment method, implemented through training, constitutes a public education initiative in waste management aimed at addressing the issue of organic waste. The training occurred in May 2023. The service results indicate that the training on eco-enzyme production in Pinang Ranti Village, aimed at utilizing household organic waste, was successful, yielding orange peel eco-enzyme products. The community exhibited considerable enthusiasm throughout the activities, and participants subsequently felt motivated to process organic waste. This activity is anticipated to be conducted continually and consistently by relevant stakeholders, particularly the government at both national and local levels
