Gender Education Socialization At The Hidayatussibyan Islamic Boarding School Foundation Nw Sengkerang Year 2024

The activity of providing gender education socialization to students of the Hidayatussibyan NW Sengkerang Islamic Boarding School Foundation is a form of community service implementation targeting students of the Hidayatussibyan NW Sengkerang Islamic Boarding School. Community service in the form of socialization is intended to provide knowledge and awareness building about gender issues such as awareness of gender equality and gender violence. This socialization is expected to raise students' awareness of gender concepts and stereotypes that are developing in society. Based on the results of the community service team's analysis, there are still many students who consider the gender inequality they see in everyday life to be something normal and are not critical of it. The internalization of the values they have received since childhood in their families and the surrounding environment, especially about gender inequality, they consider it commonplace and accept it for granted. This community service is carried out using a direct socialization method and added Focus Group Discussion to find the core of the existing problem. The results of the community service activities are measured through several questions in the form of pre-tests and post-tests, the results of which show an increase and awareness that is starting to build from regarding the students' concept of gender, gender equality, and gender violence.

Peran Mahasantri dan Alumni Ma’had Aly Hasyim Asy’ari dalam Program Pengabdian di Pesantren Tebuireng Jombang

Ma'had Aly has the ability to establish and develop its own curriculum, guided by core, main, and supporting competencies based on classical texts and assessable using Credit Units (SKS). Additionally, the curriculum of Ma'had Aly must include materials on research implementation and community service. The purpose of this research is to investigate the community service program of Ma’had Aly Hasyim Asy’ari and the roles of students (mahasantri) and alumni within the program at Pesantren Tebuireng Jombang. The research method employed is qualitative, involving data collection, data reduction, data presentation, conclusion drawing, and verification. The research findings indicate that in its implementation, Ma’had Aly Hasyim Asy’ari, as a higher education institution, has fulfilled the principles of community service, including institutional principles, the principles of practical knowledge (ilmu amaliah) and scientific action (amal ilmiah), cooperation principles, sustainability principles, as well as educational and developmental principles. The roles of Mahasantri in the community service program at Ma’had Aly Hasyim Asy’ari in Pesantren Tebuireng include being mentors, administrators, and instructors. Mahasantri in the community service program can carry out three main roles: social control, an iron stock (strong successor generation), and moral force (exemplars).

Waqf Institutions and Sustainable Development in Nigeria: An Analysis of Community Service Delivery

This study focuses on the contributions Waqf institutions make to community service delivery while critically examining their role in advancing sustainable development in Nigeria. In order to assess the impact of Waqf in sectors including education, healthcare, poverty reduction, and infrastructure development, the study uses both qualitative and quantitative data gathered through surveys, interviews, and document analysis. In order to highlight excellent practices and issues, case studies of prominent Waqf foundations in Nigeria are given, together with their accomplishments and shortcomings. The results show that although Waqf institutions have made important contributions to community service, issues including tax regulatory frameworks, low public awareness, and subpar management techniques have prevented them from reaching their full potential. The report emphasizes that in order to improve the operation of Waqf institutions, legal reforms, capacity training, and public-private collaborations are necessary. With a focus on its alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the study ends by offering a roadmap for utilizing Waqf as a tool for sustainable development in Nigeria. There are suggestions on how civil society, religious institutions, and government agencies might work together to revive Waqf institutions for efficient community service delivery, which would eventually support social cohesion and national growth.

Application of Soft Bone Milkfish Processing Technology for Processed Fish SMEs in The City of Semarang

Processed fish in the form of soft bone milkfish is a superior product of the city of Semarang that needs attention because it involves many business actors and has an influence on regional economic growth. However, there are still many obstacles related to production and marketing aspects. This paper is limited to handling production aspects in two fish processing SMEs in Semarang City, namely CV New Citra and UD Putri Laut. The problem faced by the two SME partners is that the production equipment for pressure cooking milkfish has a small capacity so that productivity is less than optimal. Another problem is that the shelf life of existing products is not long enough. To overcome this problem, the implementation team carries out community service using several methods, including socialization, training and mentoring. After the two tools were successfully created, the implementation team provided training and assistance on how to operate the two tools until the partners mastered and were skilled. Currently these two tools have been used in the pressure cooker milkfish production process, and have been proven to be able to increase production capacity and quality. Based on field observations, pressure cookers are able to increase production capacity by up to 300 percent, saving fuel costs by 66.66 percent. The retort tool succeeded in increasing product shelf life by up to 1 year, and saved retort costs of IDR 600,000, per retort process.

Use of Quizizz for Learning Evaluation Class IV Primary School

Educators in the national education system are responsible for planning and implementing the learning process, assessing learning outcomes, providing guidance, as well as conducting research and community service. Learning evaluation is a core competency that every educator must have, including the ability to use modern evaluation tools in accordance with technological developments such as Quizizz. This research aims to describe the use of the Quizizz application in evaluating learning in class IV elementary schools. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews and documentation. The research subjects consisted of teachers and fourth grade students in one of the elementary schools. The research results show that using Quizizz can increase students' learning motivation. This can be seen from the students' enthusiasm in taking the quiz and their active participation during the evaluation process. Students feel more challenged and motivated to learn because of the interactive and gamification features offered by Quizizz. In addition, the feedback provided through Quizizz has proven to be effective in helping students understand their mistakes and improve their understanding of the lesson material. Teachers can provide feedback directly after students complete a quiz, so students can immediately find out the results and correct their mistakes. Research also finds that Quizizz makes it easier for teachers to manage learning evaluations. Teachers can easily create quizzes, aggregate results in real-time, and provide fast and accurate feedback to students. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that Quizizz is an innovative and effective evaluation tool in improving the quality of learning in class IV elementary schools.

Co-Designing Recipe Resources to Support Healthy Eating in African-Caribbeans in the United Kingdom: An Academic and Community Partnership Approach.

The wealth of free food-based resources available to UK consumers on healthy eating and nutrition provides very limited illustrations of ethnic foods including African-Caribbean cuisines. This inequality in available resources limits the ability of African-Caribbean communities to effectively manage their health and reduces the cultural competence of health professionals. The aim was to co-design healthier versions of several traditional African-Caribbean recipe resources by working in partnership with academics, a community-based Third Sector organisation, and their service-users. Nutritional analysis software was used to theoretically modify the nutritional composition of popular traditional African-Caribbean recipes using recently produced analytical food composition data. Twelve recipes were theoretically modified to reduce the content of key nutrients and ingredients of concern (i.e., salt/sodium, free sugars), or increase those nutrients known to be at risk of lower than adequate intakes (i.e., iron, folate) within the UK African-Caribbean communities. Recipes were then prepared by community service-users (n = 12) of African-Caribbean ethnicity living in Leeds (UK) in the community service setting. The feasibility and acceptability of the recipes were evaluated by obtaining verbal feedback from service-users, following which recipes were further refined as appropriate. Modification resulted in a reduction in the overall energy (in the range of 23-188 kcal), fat (in the range of 0.1-13.7 g), saturated fatty acid (in the range of 0.1-2.9 g) and sugar (in the range of 0.2-8.3 g), provided by 100 g of the standard recipes. Similarly, modification resulted in the reduction in salt from about 63 to 0.01 g per 100 g edible portion of the standard recipe. It is feasible to modify African-Caribbean recipes to be healthier and acceptable to consumers. Combined with improving access to food environments that make available healthy foods, the recipes are intended to support healthier eating with African-Caribbean foods.

Субъектность горожан: понятие и его операционализация

The research is relevant because it explores a new phenomenon – city dwellers’ agency – and introduces it in the thesaurus of social psychology of the city. The aim of the research is to formulate the concept of “city dweller’s agency” and to conduct its operationalization. Hypothesis: There is a connection between an individual’s internal sense of responsibility for positive urban changes and their attitudes towards city dwellers’ engagement across various platforms including online, discussions, and physical actions. Participants: 324 respondents aged from 18 to 75 years (M = 43, SD = 18) living in Moscow (49% women and 51% men). Methods (tools): The study employed several methodologies, including “Readiness for Active Participation in the Life of the City” (T .P. Emelyanova, T. V. Drobysheva, E. N. Vikent'eva, S. V. Tarasov) to identify attitudes towards active participation in the public life of the city, “Attribution of City Dwellers’ Responsibility” (T. V. Drobysheva) to analyze how the responsibility for urban conditions is manifested. Additionally, a questionnaire collected the socio-demographic data from the respondents. Results: The concept of “city dwellers’ agency” was formulated based on theoretical analysis. Key indicators (activity, responsibility) and empirical referents (manifestations of activity and responsibility of city dwellers) were identified. Selected methods underwent their primary psychometric verification, revealing issues that effectively demonstrate city dwellers’ internal sense of responsibility and various forms of engagement in the urban environment aimed at improving the quality of urban life. The research also revealed a correla tion between the indicators of the internal sense of responsibility of city dwellers who participated in urban community service and their readiness to engage in public life. Main Conclusions: City dwellers’ agency refers to an individual’s capacity to assume responsibility for urban conditions and to direct their activity to transform the urban environment in order to improve conditions for urban living. It has been empirically confirmed that taking responsibility for urban conditions correlates with respondents’ willingness to directly participate in community service and discuss urban life problems with other residents. Practical Significance: The results can aid municipal employees in developing programs to actively involve the population in urban improvement efforts.

Do networks of relationships shape translation policies, or vice versa? The case of telephone interpreting services for quarantine hotels during the pandemic in Shanghai

ABSTRACT In this paper, we explore how translators, foreign nationals and other stakeholders interacted in specific instances of COVID-19 communication in Shanghai, and how their (inter)actions were related to the government’s policy concerning translation services. The focus is on the telephone interpreting services that were commissioned by the Shanghai Municipal Foreign Affairs Office (Shanghai FAO) for quarantine hotels. Centrality concepts in a social network analysis (SNA) were used qualitatively to map the network of relationships in which individuals were embedded. Complexity theory was used to capture the irreducible relationships between individuals and emergent structures. The study revealed that pre-existing networks reinforced Shanghai’s policy of providing multilingual translation services for foreign communities during the pandemic. Moreover, new networks of relationships emerged due to interpreter-mediated interactions, which challenged the Shanghai FAO’s codes of conduct. Reflexivity enabled volunteer interpreters and foreign nationals to mediate between structural opportunities and their subjectively defined concerns, thus leading to multi-layered approaches to COVID-19 communication. Possible solutions to the low degree of centrality of official translation services for COVID-19 communication in Shanghai are discussed based on foreign nationals’ experiences.

How Rural Digitization Promote Coordinated Urban–Rural Development: Evidence from a Quasi-Natural Experiment in China

Rural digitalization not only constitutes the strategic orientation of rural revitalization but also serves as a potent means for augmenting farmers’ income. This study regards the implementation of China’s digital village pilot policy as a quasi-natural experiment. Based on the panel data of Chinese counties spanning from 2017 to 2022, it employs a multi-period difference-in-differences model to investigate the influence of rural digitalization on the coordinated development of urban and rural areas from the perspective of the income gap. The findings indicate that the policy has significantly reduced the urban–rural income gap. Mechanism analysis reveals that this reduction is achieved through enhancing county innovation capacity, accelerating agricultural digitization, promoting advanced industrial structure, and expanding non-farm employment. Heterogeneity analyses reveal that the policy has a greater impact in regions with less robust digital infrastructure, higher levels of community service, and stronger financial development. Consequently, it is indispensable to enhance the digital literacy of farmers, accelerate the digitalization of agriculture and the upgrading of industrial institutions, promote the balanced development of digital villages in various regions, and fully exert the guiding and facilitating role of community service levels.

Design and socialization of elderly-friendly hydraulic toilets for Elderly Shelter PCA Dau, Malang

The spirit of improving the welfare of the elderly is the concern of Amal Usaha Aisyiyah, an autonomous organization under Muhammadiyah by establishing a Shelter for the Elderly in the Dau area, under the management of the Aisyiyah Dau Branch Leadership. One thing that is a serious problem is the need for infrastructure that supports the ease of movement of the elderly. It is common knowledge that the elderly's movements slow down and their motor skills are greatly reduced due to physical factors and age. This is what causes them to fall easily and get injured. And the majority of falls occur in the bathroom, in addition to wet conditions that can cause slipping, also because the toilet is not suitable, or is not friendly to the elderly. This community service is aimed at creating a special toilet design that provides convenience and safety when used. The method applied is by conducting anthropometric observations, interviews with elderly users and administrators and caregivers, conducting design calculations, fabrication followed by product testing and socialization to users. Finally, this community service succeeded in building an elderly-friendly hydraulic toilet with special specifications and has been given to the Shelter for the Elderly. The handover of the product was carried out simultaneously with testing and socialization. This product is expected to increase comfort for the elderly and reduce the occurrence of accidents involving falls in the bathroom.
