Construction of Greenhouse for Horticultural Cultivation with Soil Media and Hydroponics

Mas Oetarjo — 2024-10-11

Theneral background greenhouse technology is increasingly recognized as an efficient solution for sustainable agricultural practices, especially in regions with limited fertile land. Specific background In Kedungpeluk Village, where the majority of residents work as fish farmers, there are also unused and arid lands. These underutilized spaces provide an opportunity for greenhouse-based horticultural cultivation using soil media and hydroponic technology. Knowledge gap however, limited knowledge and infrastructure have prevented local farmers from effectively utilizing these lands for sustainable crop production. Aims this community engagement project aims to build and utilize a greenhouse system to cultivate horticultural plants, focusing on optimizing both soil and hydroponic methods. Results the project successfully transformed barren land into productive greenhouses that facilitate the growth of tomatoes, chilies, eggplants, pak choy, and water spinach. The greenhouse structure, designed with transparent roofing, enhances sunlight exposure, promoting optimal plant growth. Both soil and hydroponic methods showed potential for increasing crop yields, with soil cultivation being more flexible but requiring extra care for pests, while hydroponics provided faster results with minimal weed and pest interference. Novelty this project introduces a dual-method approach combining traditional soil cultivation with modern hydroponic technology in a controlled greenhouse environment. Implications the findings highlight that greenhouse farming is a viable, modern agricultural solution for rural communities, offering increased productivity and quality crops, while also addressing the challenges of limited fertile land and changing climate conditions. This project serves as a model for sustainable agriculture in similar settings.

Highlights:

Dual-method approach: Combining soil and hydroponic techniques in a greenhouse.
Efficient land use: Transforming unused arid land for productive horticulture.
Controlled environment: Optimizing plant growth through sunlight, temperature, and humidity control.

Keywords: Greenhouse, Horticulture, Soil Media, Hydroponics, Sustainable Agriculture

Empiricism and Rationalism in Islamic View

Kumara Adji Kusuma — 2024-11-05

The question of whether an object can inform a subject of its inherent nature reveals complexities in the subject-object relationship in perception. Human perception is inherently limited by the physiological structures of the senses, and thus, reality is interpreted rather than directly experienced. For instance, the color orange is not an inherent trait of an object but a perception shaped by the human eye's capacity to detect certain wavelengths of light. Variations in sensory structures across species highlight that other beings may perceive the same object differently; many animals, for instance, have distinct visual and auditory ranges, allowing them to see ultraviolet light or hear frequencies beyond human capacity. This limitation of human senses, however, is often overcome through technology—such as telescopes, microscopes, and specialized audio equipment—enabling insights beyond natural perception. Philosophically, this emphasizes the role of the intellect in compensating for sensory limitations, facilitating a structured understanding of phenomena that are otherwise inaccessible. Different epistemologies, including empiricism and rationalism, debate whether the senses alone or in conjunction with reason reveal truth, while Islamic perspectives emphasize a harmonious relationship between the two, with both seen as essential yet ultimately limited in understanding metaphysical or divine truths. This interplay between sensory perception and intellectual inference demonstrates the intricate processes humans employ to approximate an understanding of reality and its complexities.

Highlights:

Perception’s Limits: Senses offer partial, not full, reality.
Tech’s Role: Extends perception beyond natural limits.
Philosophy’s Insight: Highlights sensory and perceptual boundaries.

Keywords: Subject-object-perception, sensory limitations, epistemology, intellect, human perception

Self-Disclosure pada Individu Introvert di Media Sosial dalam Perspektif Dramaturgi Erving Goffman

Gusti Chairunnisa Hildhasari — 2024-10-24

Abstract. General Background: Social media platforms have transformed into vital spaces for self-expression, particularly for individuals who struggle to articulate their thoughts in face-to-face interactions. Specific Background: This study investigates the self-disclosure strategies of introverted individuals on platform X, employing Alfred Schutz's phenomenology and Erving Goffman's dramaturgical theory to analyze the dynamics of their online interactions. Knowledge Gap: While existing literature has explored self-presentation in social media, the nuanced experiences of introverts and the role of anonymity in facilitating self-disclosure remain under-researched. Aims: The study aims to uncover the motives and meanings behind the online behaviors of introverted individuals who adopt extroverted personas on platform X. Results: Findings from nine informants reveal that anonymity enables a liberating front stage, allowing for greater openness in self-disclosure, even among individuals experiencing gender inversion. Informants report a "Motive of Cause," linked to a lack of understanding peers, and a "Motive of Purpose," highlighting platform X as a vital medium for self-expression. Novelty: This research offers new insights into the intersection of introversion, anonymity, and self-presentation, emphasizing the complexities of online identity construction. Implications: The findings suggest that social media can serve as a crucial outlet for introverted individuals, fostering connections and self-exploration, which may inform future research and mental health initiatives aimed at supporting introverts in both online and offline contexts.

Highlights:

Anonymity as Liberation: The study highlights how anonymity on platform X allows introverted individuals to express themselves more freely.
Motives of Self-Expression: Informants demonstrate specific motives for their online behavior, stemming from a lack of understanding peers in their offline lives.
Implications for Mental Health: Findings indicate that social media can play a significant role in supporting the self-exploration and connection of introverted individuals.

Canva Rebranding and Product Photography Training for the Development of MSME Actors in Kenongo Village

Novi Nur Aini — 2024-10-10

The increasing competition in the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) sector, particularly in the culinary field, necessitates effective branding strategies to enhance marketability. Despite the potential of rebranding to improve visibility and customer engagement, many MSMEs lack the skills to create compelling logos and packaging that reflect their brand identity. This study addresses this knowledge gap by implementing a training program in Kenongo Village focusing on rebranding using Canva and product photography. The primary aim of this training was to enhance the design capabilities of 16 MSME participants, particularly those without existing logos or employing simplistic packaging. Post-training assessments indicated a significant improvement in participants' understanding of rebranding concepts and their proficiency in utilizing the Canva application, resulting in logos and packaging that added value to their products and improved their market image. This training introduced participants to digital design tools, fostering a stronger visual identity for their businesses. While some participants experienced technical challenges due to varying levels of digital literacy, the training effectively motivated them to prioritize the development of their brand identity, suggesting that similar initiatives could be beneficial for other MSME groups seeking to enhance their competitiveness in the market.

Highlights:

Training Impact: Significant improvement in design skills and understanding of branding concepts among participants.
Digital Literacy: Varying levels of digital skills presented challenges, highlighting the need for tailored training approaches.
Market Competitiveness: Enhanced visual identity can lead to improved product image and broader market reach for MSMEs.
