Peningkatkan Kemampuan Anak Putus Sekolah di Kecamatan Gebog Kabupaten Kudus melalui Pelatihan Otomotif

Permasalahan utama yang dihadapi oleh kecamatan Gebog dalam menangani anak putus sekolah adalah rata-rata anak yang putus sekolah tersebut tidak mempunyai keahliahan sehingga mereka sulit mencari pekerjaaan apalagi harus memulai USAha sendiri, sehingga dibutuhkan suatu pelatihan yang dapat memberikan keahliahan kepada mereka. Tim KKN-PPM Universitas Muria Kudus berusaha memberikan solusi guna mengatasi masalah tersebut dengan mengadakan pelatihan otomotif untuk anak putus sekolah di wilayah kecamatan Gebog kabupaten Kudus. Target keluaran untuk meningkatkan pemberdayaan atau partisipasi masyarakat dengan berdirinya Kelompok Usaha Bersama (KUB) dibidang otomotif, disamping memberikan pelatihan tim juga memberikan pendampingan untuk KUB yang sudah berdiri harapannya KUB tersebut dapat bertahan sehingga dapat menciptakan lapangan kerja baru.Metode yang digunakan adalah dengan memberikan pelatihan otomotif ke anak-anak usia produktif yang tidak bersekolah, harapan dari kegiatan ini anak-anak usia produktif di wilayah gebog mempunyai keahlian dibidang otomotif sehingga mempunyai nilai lebih

Analisa Gesekan Pengereman Hidrolis (Rem Cakram) Dan Tromol Pada Kendaraan Roda Empat Dengan Menggunakan Metode Elemen Hingga

Rem merupakan salah satu faktor penting dalam sistem pengereman, karena pentingnya fungsi rem pada kendaraan perlu dilakukan kajian mendalam tentang keausan dan tahap-tahapannya. Simulasi dengan menggunakan metode elemen hingga (FEM) merupakan salah satu progam untuk menentukan umur dari suatu komponen. Dalam penelitian ini telah mensimulasikan gaya pengereman depan (disc brake) dan belakang (tromol) kendaraan roda empat. Metode yang digunakan adalah memodelkan gesekan dan keausan pada proses pengereman. Analisa tersebut dilakukan dengan menggunakan simulasi progam dengan metode elemen hingga (FEM) disajikan dalam permodelan 3 dimensi (3D). Material dari disc dan tomol adalah cast iron dan material kanvas rem adalah komposit. Karena proses pengereman dengan tekanan dan gaya moment yang berubah-ubah maka perlu kajian mendalam tentang keausan dan tahapan-tahapannya. Analisa statis menghasilkan nilai von misses stress dan displacement sedangkan analisa dinamis menghasilkan grafik gesekan pada sistem pengereman (disc brakes dan drum brakes) menggunakan metode elemen hingga (FEM)

A Literature Review of Complementary and Alternative Medicine Used Among Diabetes Mellitus Patients

Diabetes is a chronic disease that requires regular and sustainable health management that involves proper treatment. Some diabetic patients use CAM, as well as conventional medicine, to maintain their health and control their blood sugar. This literature review aimed to 1) determine the prevalence of CAM used by patients with diabetes, summarize and evaluate the CAM use that includes: characteristics, patterns, types and reasons, 2) propose a conceptual model associated with CAM used by patients with diabetes. Systematic reviews were searched using an electronic database. The systematic reviews were published between 2005 and 2015 by using specific keywords. The number of systematic reviews obtained as a search result is 14 articles from 14 countries. The prevalence of CAM used by patients with diabetes ranged from 16.6% to 76%. Determinants associated with the CAM use were age, gender, family income, occupation, residence, and the characteristics of the disease, such as the length of time since diagnosed and complications. Most patients used CAM, along with the conventional treatment, and did not inform health professionals about the CAM use. The CAM use by patients with diabetes was relatively high and the confidence of patients believed the benefits of CAM. Therefore, integration with health professionals to develop CAM management is highly required

Responses of Diabetes Mellitus Patients Who Used Complementary Medicine

Diabetes Mellitus as a chronic disease tend to seek appropriate medical treatment to heal the condition. Health-seek searched can be either medical treatment or Complementary and Alternative Medicine. This study explored deeply on the response of diabetes mellituspatients who visited to Indonesian Traditional Medicine Polyclinic on Regional Public Hospital dr. Soetomo Surabaya in using complementary medicine. This study used qualitative study with phenomenological method approach. The focus of this study was diabetes mellitus patients who use complementary medicine. Nine participants were selected based on purposive sampling method with certain criteria. Data collection used was in-depth interview and field note. Data analysis used thematic content analysis. Determining five themes that correspond with the purpose of study and a new theme. Some themes were psychological response after being diagnosed diabetes mellitus, opinion on the diabetes mellitus disease, complementary medicine usage patterns, reasons, the response after the use of complementary medicine, and family support. As a chronic disease, patients need proper treatment and conduct it continuously. Healer shopping was often taken by diabetes mellituspatients. It was required cooperation between patients and health professionals to monitor the behavior in order to achieve the effectiveness of medical treatment

Evaluating Students' Learning Experiences Using Course Management System in a Blended Learning

One of the major software used in today's classroom are Course Management Systems (CMS). There is currently little research regarding the learning experience of students using CMS like Moodle in a blended learning environment. Effective learning environments give students a chance to learn better and faster. Understanding the students' learning experience in a blended course using a CMS is the first step to determine how to best engage students. It assumes that good learning environments are achieved through three factors which are Cognitive Presence, Teaching Presence, and Social Presence. This study used a set of questionnaire to evaluate students' learning experience for 107 students in blended learning. Correlation analysis has been used to find the relationship between Cognitive Presence, Teaching Presence, Social Presence and learning experience of students who use CMS in blended learning. The findings of this research study show that there is a significant correlation among Cognitive Presence, Teaching Presence, Social Presence and the overall learning experience using Moodle in blended learning. However, the level of Social Presence is lower in comparison with Teaching Presence and Cognitive Presence

CAPBLAT Development and Testing: Computer-Assisted Assessment Tool for Problem Based Learning

Recent years, Computer-Assisted Assessment (CAA) has become increasingly important in education. This is indicated by many researches that focused on the development of computer-based assessment tool to help assess performances of students from various disciplines. This study contributes to education area with the research on the development of innovative computer-based tool for Problem-Based Learning (PBL) assessment. A web-based assessment tool, named CAPBLAT, has been developed. The tool incorporates some methods of PBL assessment process which framed within “Problem-Based Learning Assessment Framework”. The tool has been created for evaluating students' achievements on the PBL approach. This paper presents the development and user acceptance test of the CAPBLAT. The study utilizes the tool within two PBL classes as a medium for testing in the duration of one semester. A total of forty students participated in the testing of the tool. During the study, questionnaires were administered to students. The results concerning the assessment tool acceptance demonstrate that students showed positive feedback and accepted the USAge of CAPBLAT for the PBL assessment process. It is also proved that the use of CAA in PBL gives advantages for both of lecturers and students by providing them with detailed formative feedback on their learning achievements compared to conventional assessment. It also reduces lecturer's tedious load by automating parts of the task of marking students' work
