The Effect of Media Composition on the Growth of Earthworms (Lumbricus Terrestris) to Support the Learning Process on Annelida Material in Class X Semester I SMA

The study was conducted to determine the growth of earthworms (Lumbricus terrestris) using artificial media and the use of research results to support the learning process on the concept of invertebrate growth as a support for the learning process on annelid material in class X semester I SMA. This research was conducted at the Biology Education Laboratory of Palangka Raya University from June to July 2018. This study used a completely randomized design with 3 types of treatment and 6 replications. The material used was 72 earthworms (Lumbricus terrestris) with an average biomass and body length. Organic material as a living medium, namely P0 control / soil without a mixture of manure, P1 soil 2 Kg + 2 Kg cow manure, P2 Soil 2 Kg + 2 Kg goat manure, P3 soil 2 Kg + 2 Kg chicken manure. The parameters measured were the length and biomass of earthworms for 7 days after the worms were introduced into the media (at the beginning and end of the study). Supporting parameters measured are soil pH, soil temperature and humidity. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by LSD (Least Significant Difference) at the 5% level. The results showed the highest increase in length and biomass of earthworms (Lumbricus terrestris) in treatment (P3) (chicken manure). The results of the research can be used to support the learning process in the form of Student Worksheets (LKS) in class X SMA.

Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Melalui Pengolahan Singkong menjadi Bahan Baku Produk Olahan Makanan di Desa Tarung Manuah, Kecamatan Basarang, Kabupaten Kapuas

Cassava is a type of plant that is easy to grow in various types of soil, and its cultivation method is relatively easy. The stems, leaves, and tubers of cassava have various benefits for human life. Limited knowledge and skills regarding the diversification of cassava-based processed products are an obstacle for which solutions must be sought. The purpose of this service activity is to empower the community, especially partners/target groups, through training on processing cassava into raw materials for processed food products. Community service activities carried out using training/mentoring and demonstrations/practices are one of the solutions that can be carried out for community empowerment. The results of community service activities show that all participants (100%) can actively participate in receiving all the knowledge and skills transferred and are interested in doing it themselves at home (100%). Processed products in the form of cassava flour will be consumed by themselves (77%) and sold (23%) with processed food products of cassava lunkhead (89%) and cassava noodles (11%), which were of high interest. This data shows that community service activities carried out by Palangka Raya University can contribute and become a solution to overcome problems faced by the community.

Indonesian civic engagement among college students

ABSTRACTThis paper aims to analyze the overall picture of Indonesian civic engagement, particularly among Palangka Raya university students. Through a quantitative approach and survey method, the population and sample of the research include the students who were on their fourth (2015/2016) and second (2016/2017) semester about 2,422 students. The answers were then divided into three categories: good, moderate, and poor. As for the civic attitude and civic behavior variables, the maximum value is 5 and the minimum 1, and then the answers were divided into five categories: very high, high, moderate, low and very low. Findings reveal (i) the similarity of civic engagement in each faculty and level of the students who are on their fourth and second semester is in moderate category in terms of their knowledge based on identifying the governmental process, rights, and duties of citizens in terms of laws and politics, as well as the lecturers; (ii) the similarity of the high category of their attitude based on the values of humanity, empathy, openness, tolerance, ethics, and social responsibility; (iii) the difference of civic engagement between the second semester students who are low and the fourth semester who are high in terms of their behavior is determined by learning experience where the fourth semester students are more experienced in coping with the problems in community than the second semester counterparts. Recommendation for future research is the exploration of the reason behind the emerging unsynchronized results between the Indonesian civic knowledge, attitude, and behavior.
