Abstract. Batik is Indonesian cultural heritage and has been regarded as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity on October 2nd, 2009 by UNESCO. Since that, there has been increasing demand of batik products. However, one of the problems faced by batik industry is batik craftsmen are increasingly rare, and many young people are less interested in becoming batik craftsmen. Batik machine offers an alternative solution to overcome the problem. Using technology, some of batik processes are done by an automated machine. Batik motifs are redrawn using computer software and based on these drawings, a program is created and then run by a batik machine. The batik machine is still using wax (malam) on producing batik patterns. Comparing the results with the manual batik processes, it shows that for the primary batik processes (known as klowong), it may reduce the processing time by up to 60% for certain motifs. The results also prove that it can maintain wax penetration during the processes. read more

Abstract. One of the natural resources that are found in Seram Utara Timur Seti, Maluku Tengah is coconut. However, the community’s know how in utilizing their potential resources is limited. Usually, they are dried the coconut in the sun for copra, then sold for few rupiahs. Recently, few community leaders have learned how to make VCO, but the VCO product was not always in good quality. They need assistance, so they can produce better VCO and have added value for their coconut. To have better VCO product, they must know the detail process and the equipment to be used. So, by the utilization and application of appropriate technology program, how to make better VCO as well as making derivatives product from the VCO have been conducted. Soaps are personal care product to moisturize, cleanse, whiten and rejuvenate skin. Soap are basically mixture of natural oils and fats with alkali. VCO are known for its health benefits such as balancing the cholesterol levels. VCO was also proven to have sanitizing effect. So VCO soap is a premium grade natural mild soap made with organic pure VCO. By making natural VCO soap solid and liquid soap, people in Seti village will have more ways to maximize one of their potential resource. However, it still need time to upgrade processing facility for soap making, to enhance production capacity through equipment upgrading, to commercialize the technology on soap making and to enhance technology on soap making through continuous research. read more

Abstract. Kobi Mukti Village in Seram Utara Timur Kobi Subdistrict, Central Maluku Regency has been blessed with abundant natural resources such as coconut, spices and a number of forest products. Due to lack of know how, the utilization of local resources has limited impact to improve the economy of the village. Community service program on the utilization and application of appropriate technology has been conducted in Kobi Mukti Village. The program aimed to increase welfare of the local community through production of briquette from coconut shell waste using appropriate technology. In addition, a number of innovations have also been proposed under the community service program that includes diversification of coconut-based products and introduction of fisheries processing technology which aims to enhance the basic knowledge of the community to utilize the natural resources in a sustainable way. The program of farm crops sector includes utilization of coconut shell into charcoal and briquettes. In addition, we have also initiated production of nata de coco, virgin coconut oil (VCO) and body butter. For the fishery sector, we have initiated introduction of fish processing technology to produce shredded fish, nuggets and meatballs. The community service program includes following steps: observation, materials preparation, counseling, implementation, and evaluation. The implementation of community service has been quite successful with positive acceptance by the local community followed by creation of small business enterprise in the village. Despite of the success, there is a challenge to market the products out of the village and hence needs support from the local government.

Abstract. People with diabetes are increasing in Indonesia to an estimated 16 million affected individuals in 2018. Diabetes is the leading cause of cardiovascular morbidities, stroke, blindness, kidney failure and lower limb amputation. Self-management of diabetes plays critical role in achieving blood glucose control and preventing complications. PACE-DIA questionnaire was developed to assess diabetes self-management activities, including medication adherence, dietary practices, physical activities, blood pressure control, and blood glucose monitoring.The objective of this study is to evaluate the ability of PACE-DIA questionnaire to predict HbA1C as a key indicator of blood sugar control among people with diabetes. The design of this study is cross-sectional, with a sample size of 79 individuals, non randomly selected from primary health centers located in Bantul, Gunung Kidul, Kulon Progo and Sleman, Yogyakarta Special Region. Participants living in these locations represent suburban, low-land, and high-land population. The PACE-DIA questionnaire was administered to each participant through face-to face interviews, followed by venipuncture to obtain 10 ml of blood from median cubital vein, for HbA1C measurement. Multiple linear regression analyses were carried out to estimate the crude and adjusted regression coefficients of items in the PACE-DIA questionnaire indicating the relative importance of these items in predicting blood sugar control. There were 7 participants who did not meet the criteria for diabetes diagnosis, leaving 72 individuals included in data analyses. All study participants were type-2 diabetics, with a mean of HbA1C levels 9.2%, ranging from 6.6% to 15%. Multiple linear regression demonstrated that participants who monitored their blood sugar more than once a month showed 2.3% less HbA1C (p = 0.016) compared to those who never or very rarely monitored their blood sugar.  Those who took medication continuously and regularly had 1.7% HbA1C less than people who did not regularly take medication (p = 0.001). Study participants who avoided the consumption of sugary beverages and  snack had 1.6% HbA1C less than those who did not change their diet after diabetes had been diagnosed (p = 0.003). People who did exercise or high intensity physical activities regularly at least twice a week showed 1.4% HbA1C less than those who never exercised or had low intensity of physical activities  (p = 0.03). Normotensive individuals, without taking medication to reduce blood pressure, had 1% HbA1c less than study participants whose blood pressure had been 140/90 mmHg or higher (p = 0.01). The control of type-2 diabetes, suggested by acceptable level of HbA1C, could be achieved through self-monitoring of blood sugar, adherence to medication, exercise or physical activities, sugar free diet, and  maintaining blood pressure less than 140/80 mmHg. PACE-DIA is a simple tool to assess the performance of diabetes self-management, so that active engagement with the control of blood sugar level could be continuously improved. read more

Abstract. The community service program in Banjararum Village, Kulon Progo Regency is an activity to increase the Clean Water Supply and Improvement of Fisheries Products by the Rainwater Filled Pool Method combined with the installation of GAMA Rainfilter rainwater harvester. The program implementation process begins with installing the installations in July to October 2019 (3 months) at 3 location points, subsequently in October until December 2019 by harvesting rain and raising fish. The purpose of these activities are increasing productivity and development of aquaculture by using rainwater resources media, reducing the cost to purchase clean water in the dry season, utilizing rainwater for fisheries production and putting excess rainwater into society’s wells. Another goal is to form a habit to utilize rainwater in daily life and build a movement to harvest rainwater for raw water and fisheries. The implementation process of this program is using the roof of the house as the basis for catching rainwater which is channeled into a storage with a capacity of 1050 liters (1 m3) per location. The excess from the storage water is channeled into the people’s wells and into the fish ponds. The fish pond is made from iron wearnes with a diameter of 2 m. The test material used for productivity analysis with rainwater media is catfish (Clarias sp.), which amount 1000 per point. The recording results of the comparative process of catfish productivity with groundwater and rainwater media are carried out every month at 3 points of implementation, so that we can get an average percentage (%) level of aquaculture increasing and level of income that obtained. The result of the first phase are the installation of all equipment at all three locations and start raising the catfish in ordinary well water. While the next step will be carried out with rainwater from October to December. read more

Abstract. Chocolate is one of the most popular confectionery products in the world due to its unique flavour and mouthfeel perceived during consumption. It is consumed mostly in developed countries, even though cacao, as the raw material for chocolate manufacture, is highly produced in developing countries, such as Ivory Coast, Ghana and Indonesia. In the cacao producing countries around the equator, chocolate consumption is relatively low. The fact that about 90–95% of cocoa in the world is produced by smallholder farmers limits the possibility of cocoa farmers to produce their own chocolate due to unaffordable price of huge chocolate processing machine installations. Apart from that, this phenomenon can also be associated with the lack of knowledge of chocolate processing. Therefore, an alternative (small scale) processing method that can be economically applied is highly required. Aside from this, a knowledge on how to create high quality chocolate is needed by cocoa farmers and small scale chocolate makers. Through several projects of community empowerment, including a project named as “Teknologi Tepat Guna (TTG)”, small scale chocolate processing machines, workshop of chocolate production and concept of Choco-Edu Tourism have been introducing to farmers and small scale chocolate makers. By conducting these programs, a higher level of livelihood can be achieved by farmers. read more
