Authors: Shchutskiy V. L. , Efimenko E. A.
Published: November 2023

Introduction. The modern methods of analysis and conducting the numerical experiments referring to calculation and design of constructions are mostly aimed at a deeper study of parameter changes of different structures exposed to the influence of the certain loads. Due to the course of time and upon obtaining and analysing the new results of the numerical studies, there arises the need to revise and update the normative documents developed in the past in the frame of studying the certain modes of structures’ operation. Bearing in mind the above-mentioned objective, the numerical study presented in this article has been carried out.

Materials and Methods. It should be mentioned, that most of the previously conducted research was based on the results of the short-term exposure of the structures to the loads, but not enough attention was paid to the study of the influence of the long-term loading on the structures' operation. This paper presents the results of the numerical experiments investigating the load-bearing capacity, flexural rigidity and maximum force of the power transmission line poles exposed to the short-term and long-term loads. The specimen under study is the cylindrical power transmission line pole complying with the GOST 22687.2 “Centrifugal cylinder reinforced concrete posts for high-voltage transmission lines”.

Results. The paper presents the results of studying the behaviour of the cylindrical reinforced concrete poles, serving as the supports for the electrical power transmission lines, under the short-term and long-term loading. The work provides the results of numerical experiments investigating the strength and rigidity parameters of the above-mentioned structures under different types of loading, as well as upon changing the eccentricities of the application of these loads. The assessment of the rigidity parameters change under the long-term exposure of the poles to the loads is carried out.

Discussion and Conclusion. Based on the results, obtained during the numerical experiments, the strength and rigidity parameters of the annular section power transmission line poles were analysed, and proposals for improving the design codes were made that could become a basis for the further research on this issue.
Technology and Peculiarities of Production of Large-format Ceramic Stones Based on Opoka-like Rocks
Authors: Kotlyar V. D. , Terekhina Yu. V. , Lapunova K. A.
Published: November 2023

Introduction. One of the urgent tasks of the wall ceramics industry at present is the production of large-format ceramic stones with compressive strength of 10–15 MPa and thermal conductivity less than 0.12 W/(m·оС), while the market cost per 1 m3 should be competitive with gas-concrete blocks and be in the range of 5–6 thousand rubles per 1 m3. This problem can be solved by developing modern energy-efficient production technology and using opoko-like rocks and coal processing wastes as the main raw material as fuel and burnout additive.

Materials and Methods. The opoka-like rocks — opokas from the deposits of southern Russia — Nagolnovskoye, Bakanskoye, Shakhtinskoye, Avilo-Fyodorovskoye, and coal cake produced by Pyramida LLC were used for research. The study of chemical and mineral composition was carried out by standard methods on prepared samples. The study of ceramic and technological properties (plasticity, molding moisture, degree of crushing, air and fire shrinkage, compressive strength, water absorption) of raw materials was carried out according to generally accepted methods on samples precrushed to a certain grain composition, since opokas, depending on the type, do not soak or slowly soak in water.

Results. Pre-firing technological properties of opokas and their differences from traditional clay raw materials soaked in water were confirmed: increased molding moisture, small air shrinkage, low sensitivity to drying. The dependence of density and strength of samples on the degree of pulverization of opoka, firing temperature and the amount of carbon cake in the raw material mixture has been established. The influence of coal preparation wastes and their optimal amount on physical and mechanical properties of fired samples has been determined. The introduction of carbon cake allows to exclude the use of gas for firing or minimize its introduction. On the basis of the obtained results a simplified technological scheme for the production of large-format stones with minimum production cost has been developed.

Discussion and Conclusion. The proposed technological scheme consists of two units of the main mass preparation equipment, molding of products is carried out by semi-rigid extrusion, drying of products is carried out directly on kiln cars, and for firing coal cake is used, which is introduced into the raw mix. These factors and technological methods allow to obtain products with low thermal conductivity, but with strength 3–5 times higher than that of aerated concrete blocks of similar density. The prime cost of ceramic stones will amount to 3–3.5 thousand rubles per 1 m3 of products. Rostov region, possessing opoka-like rocks and unclaimed reserves of technogenic coal raw materials, can become a center of production of large-format ceramic stones with low cost and provide the south and central part of the country with highquality wall materials.

Authors: Georgiev S. V. , Mailyan D. R. , Solovyova A. I.
Published: November 2023

Introduction. In recent years, the use of composite materials for improving the operational properties of the building constructions within the restoration process is gradually replacing the methods, developed for this purpose in the middle of the XXth century and implying the use of reinforced concrete and metal. However, the regulatory framework stipulating the process of strengthening the loadbearing structures of buildings and structures was developed based on the insufficient amount of experimental data. Due to this fact, the large number of structures, exceeding the normative limits, cannot be strengthened with the composite materials, or such strengthening incurs significant economic costs. Thus, nowadays, the experimental studies on strengthening the reinforced concrete structures with composite materials are considered to be forward-looking and relevant. The aim of this study is to analyse the results of a number of experiments conducted to investigate the use and efficiency of composite materials in construction.  

Materials and Methods. To determine the level of stress in composite carbon materials of the external reinforcement of the eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete poles, the tests were carried out with four specimens. All specimens were strengthened using different reinforcement schemes. The strain gauges with 2cm active measuring grid length were installed in the zones of the most evident work of the composite materials to measure the changes of relative deformation at each load level during testing of the specimens. From 10 to 16 strain gauges were installed at each structure, depending on the importance of the zones for determining the deformations.

Results. The work presents the results of the study on determining the efficiency of composite longitudinal and transverse reinforcement for increasing the rigidity and strength of flexible eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete poles. The experimental data on the composite materials’ strength, deflections and relative deformations, obtained during testing of four reinforced concrete poles, is presented. The efficiency of composite reinforcement at ultimate strength and ultimate deflections is assessed. The relative deformations in composite materials are determined and the inclusion of the reinforcement system in the work of the strengthened reinforced concrete specimens is assessed.

Discussion and Conclusion. Based on the obtained results, the analysis of the composite reinforcement efficiency has been carried out, and proposals have been developed on designing the reinforcement systems of the flexible eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete poles working with the large eccentricities of the load application.

Published: November 2023

Introduction. A large number of works devoted to the research of physical and mechanical properties of bamboos, methods of nodal connections of bamboo rods are indicated. The main "bamboo" countries in which bamboo is gaining popularity as a structural material in the modern construction industry are listed. With the development of modern processing technologies, bamboo is widely used in the construction industry, including in the manufacture of slabs and boards, as well as in the decoration and interior decoration of rooms in Oriental style. The results of studies of the physical and mechanical properties of various types of bamboos conducted by scientists from different countries are currently combined into three ISO editions concerning building codes and rules for the use of bamboos in construction.

Materials and Methods. Consideration of the macrostructure of bamboo allows us to characterize the high mechanical properties inherent in natural and artificial polymers. Such an approach to the consideration of bamboo and wood as natural polymers makes it possible to use methods applied to the testing of wood and structural plastics in determining the mechanical characteristics of bamboo. Two series of samples of five pieces each were made. Tables of geometric characteristics of the cross-section of the samples are compiled. A constructive solution is proposed related to the reinforcement of the sample blades with an epoxy composition in order to increase the reliability of securing the samples in the grips of the test rig.

Results. To determine the elastic modulus of bamboo under tension, an experimental setup consisting of two grips in which the test sample is placed has been developed and manufactured. Through the lower gripper, the test load is applied by means of a steel rod with a loading platform on which the calibrated piece loads are stacked. To determine the magnitude of the absolute elongation of the sample base during stretching, contact deflection meters are used, as which watchtype indicators of the Mitutoyo company (Japan) are used.

Discussion and Conclusion. The formula for determining the elastic modulus under tension is given. The arithmetic mean of the modulus of elasticity of the tested samples and the mean square deviation of the results of the modulus of elasticity are taken as the test result. The analysis of the obtained results allows us to conclude that the experimental values of the modulus of elasticity of Moso bamboo under tension reliably coincide with the values known in the technical literature.

Published: November 2023

Introduction. The introduction of innovative technologies and materials in the construction industry is constrained by a number of reasons associated with insufficient knowledge of technological processes and the increased cost of highly efficient innovative materials. Therefore, studies in the field of monolithic concrete technology, reflecting the features of concreting structures from self-compacting mixtures and aimed at reducing their cost due to the use of construction waste, are relevant. The purpose of this work is experimental and statistical modeling of rheological characteristics of finegrained self-compacting concrete mixtures and physical and mechanical properties of concretes depending on the influence of two recipe factors — consumption of superplastifying additive and particle size distribution of aggregate including construction wastes.

Materials and Methods. For the preparation of fine-grained self-compacting concrete mixtures, portlandcement  CEM 0 52,5N, natural quartz sand and crushed concrete sand of a mixture of three fractions of 0.63–5.0 mm and a chemical additive - a superplasticizer based on polycarboxylate esters Polyplast PK were used. Process characteristics of fine-grained self-compacting mixtures (workability, viscosity, fluidity) were determined by standard methods. The shear limits of the mixtures were set by means of an instrument comprising a cylinder with a nozzle and a glass base with circumferential marking. Modeling of rheological and physical-mechanical properties of fine-grained self-compacting concretes was carried out using a two-factor simplex-summed plan on a hexagon inscribed in a circle, which is one of the most convenient for solving technological problems of construction materials science.

Results. Experimental-statistical models of rheological characteristics of fine-grained self-compacting mixtures and strength properties of concrete were obtained, adequately describing experimental data.

Discussion and Conclusion. The use of mathematical planning methods of the experiment made it possible to comprehensively assess the influence of the two most significant recipe factors on the technological processes of concreting monolithic reinforced concrete structures from fine-grained self-compacting mixtures using aggregate from construction waste. It was established that optimal content of grains from crushed concrete in natural sand is 30–35 %, and dosage of superplasticizer Polyplast PK is 1.2–1.25 % of binder weight.

A directed education process will bring this nation towards a better civilization. Conversely, an educational process that is not directed will only take up time, energy and funds without any results. Thus, the education system as the implementation of national education greatly determines the progress of a nation. To realize the goals of education, it is necessary to carry out planning and development in the world of education which continues to move forward by utilizing familiar technology in the 4.0 era. Planning is something that is important before doing anything else. Planning is considered important because it will determine and at the same time give direction to the goals to be achieved. Thus a work will be messy and undirected if there is no proper planning, careful and well-organized planning will have an impact on the achievement of educational goals that have been programmed. In addition, development can also determine the success or failure of a program, programs that do not go through good planning, then development tends to fail. The method in this research is literature review, namely by reviewing books and journals in accordance with the theory discussed in the article theme, namely to carry out in-depth discussions regarding Educational Planning and Development so that it can run optimally.

Published: November 2023

Pacientes com a dentição destruída apresentam falta de vários elementos dentários e severo desgaste dentário que, consequentemente, causará redução da dimensão vertical de oclusão (DVO). A DVO diminuída causará desarmonia facial e prejuízos nas funções mastigatória e fonética. Nesses casos, é preferível a reabilitação com implantes ou próteses parciais fixas, porém, em pacientes com limitações financeiras, anatômicas e/ou médicas, devem ser consideradas modalidades alternativas de tratamento, como prótese parcial removível do tipo overlay (PPRO). Assim, este trabalho tem como objetivo descrever a reabilitação proté- tica com o restabelecimento da DVO de um paciente parcialmente desdentado e com excessivo desgaste nos dentes anteriores através de uma PPRO recobrindo dentes preparados e raízes revestidas. Procedimentos prévios à instalação da PPRO definitiva foram realizados neste caso, como tratamento endodôntico, cimentação de “ball attachments” e prótese parcial removível provisória. A instalação das PPROs superior e inferior teve uma significativa melhora na qualidade de vida do paciente pela devolução da função mastigatória, fonética e estética, sendo uma das principais vantagens o custo reduzido dessa reabilitação.
Research on the Teaching of Color Composition in Chinese Painting
Authors:   Moscow State Pedagogical University, Bai Shuai
Published: November 2023

Painting of the Celestial Empire is a reflection of the wisdom of its people in art and characterizes the Chinese civilization as one of the most developed in the world of classical culture. The use of color in Chinese painting has been appreciated by artists for thousands of years. If artists use the visual and aesthetic psychological per-spective of color in their paintings, they can better reflect and express their true feelings, which greatly enhanc-es the artistic meaning and significance of their works, and meets the aesthetic requirements and sensory needs of modern people. Color composition is a way for artists to convey their ideas, emotions, moral and oth-er psychological feelings through color patterns and color combinations. At the same time, the use of color is subjective and emotional. In Chinese painting, artists tend to always focus on the atmosphere created by the tone of the painting, without the influence of the inherent color of the object itself. This paper will use the con-trast method to study color composition, allowing students to make full and reasonable use of the contrast be-tween the composition and color agreed upon so that the painting can enhance and emphasize the need for color effect. This paper attempts to study the basic.

To date, the problem of studying the emotional-volitional sphere and behavior of adolescents with mental re-tardation remains relevant and is not only fundamental, but more applied in the field of correctional psychology and pedagogy. The aim of the work is to study the features of the emotional-volitional sphere as a factor of so-cio-psychological adaptation of adolescents with mental retardation in order to further develop recommenda-tions for providing them with psychological and pedagogical assistance on the basis of the identified patterns. As a result, it was ascertained that adolescents with mental retardation are characterized by a higher level of socio-psychological adaptation compared to adolescents with a normal type of mental development. At the same time, the high level of adaptation of adolescents with mental retardation is determined by such features of the emotional and personal sphere as external locus of control, a low degree of neuropsychic stability and low personal anxiety. In adolescents with a normal type of mental development, with a high level of socio-psychological adaptation, there is an internal locus of control, high indicators of the level of neuropsychic stabil-ity, as well as low personal anxiety.

The subject of the article is the presentation of information about the sources and items of equity capital for external users. The methodological basis of the study is general scientific methods: analysis, synthesis, deduction, scientific abstraction and generalization of the results obtained. The article substantiates the deterioration in the perception of reporting information about the organization by external users by the presence of terminological confusion regarding the name of the element «equity capital». The author concluded that it is necessary to choose a single term to denote the share of owners in the assets of the organization. The article defines the value of equity capital for external users. There are two main classifications of equity capital: by sources and items. It is concluded that it is necessary to provide information about the sources of equity capital in the statement of changes in capital. It is concluded that there are no definitions of equity items in regulatory documents on accounting. The reasons for the lack of definitions of equity capital items are highlighted. The relationship between the lack of definitions of equity items and the need to present them in the balance sheet is determined. The necessity of harmonizing the definitions of equity capital items with the documents regulating the functioning of legal entities in our country is substantiated.

In this article we will review the legislative basis of the digital ruble platform, as well as analyze the key aspects of the implementation of the legislative initiative of the digital currency, highlight the potential benefits and challenges associated with this innovation. The emergence of a new instrument in the economy will certainly have a significant impact on domestic and foreign markets, as well as entail changes in the legislation of the Russian Federation. The adaptation of the economy and the legal framework will take place gradually, and participants in digital ruble settlements will need to get used to the new. It is already worth noting that it will take at least two to three years for market participants to get used to the new instrument and for the regulator to make the necessary adjustments to the new instrument. In the next few years it will be necessary to adapt and improve the legislative base for the new instrument. The existing legislative base does not fully allow to carry out operations with the new instrument, in the next few years, it will be necessary to make the necessary changes to the current legislation of the Russian Federation, as well as to adopt new draft laws. In this paper we will consider the business sector, which in the first stages will be the first participants who will be able to assess the full possible potential of the new financial instrument and propose new draft laws to improve the regulation of the digital ruble. It is worth noting that the business sector is already actively proposing new bills to improve the digital ruble platform, as well as pointing out gaps in the legislative framework related to the regulation of the digital ruble. Thus, the business sector will play a crucial role in finalizing the legislative platform to regulate the digital ruble in the Russian Federation.
Company management based on key performance indicators: Industry overview
Authors: Zaglyadin O. V.
Published: November 2023

Key performance indicators (KPIs) act as a specific indicator of productivity, and reflect the degree of implementation of goals and objectives that have been set for specific employees, departments, or the organization as a whole. There are different key performance indicators depending on the scope of the organization. In any case, as a rule, indicators are divided into different groups to optimize the process of developing an organization’s strategic plan. For organizations, depending on the field of activity, the main KPIs and industry performance indicators are identified, the use of which is designed to increase the efficiency of activities, increase profits and motivation of employees. An important point in optimizing the company’s activities is the formation of an understanding among employees that the achievement of their goals depends on the achievement of the goals of the organization as a whole, since payments of additional financial incentives are made from the profit of the organization. Thus, KPI acts not only as a motivation system for employees, but also reflects the degree of achievement of goals by the business as a whole. Using the example of the gold mining industry, construction, transport and a number of other sectors of the national economy, the main key performance indicators are determined. It is concluded that in addition to the industry specifics, it is very important to take into account the specifics of a particular company when forming a KPI system.

On the issue of planning and risk management in sports
Authors: Yakovlev M. A.
Published: November 2023

Every sporting and entertainment event involves a physical risk. The type and level depend on variables such as the type of activity, location, skill level of participants, time and number of viewers. Whatever your event is, it is important that you are prepared for it by managing these risks.

Sports and recreation involve a certain level of physical risk. Many sports and recreational activities involve high–speed impacts, extreme effort, exposure to altitude or depth, and environmental factors such as weather. Participants recognize that there is a risk when participating in these activities. At the same time, the organizers are responsible for taking measures to ensure the safety of participants, spectators, paid staff, volunteers and the general public.

Effective risk management applies a clear risk identification process, establishes an acceptable risk level and takes steps to maintain risks at this level. Risk management is carried out by assessing potential consequences and probability, developing clear actions and developing a response plan.

Successful organizers manage risks rather than avoid them. They focus on goals and security, not just compliance. Through effective risk management, you can minimize the potential costs and obligations associated with event planning, which will make the event safer and more enjoyable.

Published: November 2023

Abad ke-13 menjadi masa yang penting bagi Temujin atau Jengis Khan. Setelah dinobatkan menjadi pemimpin Mongol, dia terus melakukan ekspansi dari Asia Tengah, Anatolia, Eurasia hingga berada di depan gerbang Vienna. Abad ke-13 dapat dikatakan sebagai ‘Periode Mongol’ karena Mongol menjadi imperium dunia yang sangat berpengaruh. Ekspansi Mongol telah menghancurkan para penguasa lama, seperti Abasiyah dan Seljuk Agung. Para pasukan nomaden Turki atau beylik yang selama ini membantu Seljuk kemudian hidup berpencar menghindari ppersekusi Mongol. Setelah kekuasaan Mongol meredup, banyak penguasa beylik Turki mulai muncul sebagai penguasa yang independen. Di Anatolia, para bey dengan beylik-nya menciptakan kekuasaan baru. Osman Gazi (1302-1324), pendiri Negara Usmani, merupakan salah satu penguasa Anatolia yang muncul pasca invasi Mongol. Dalam artikel ini, penulis membahas mengenai bagaimana kepemimpinan Muslim di Anatolia pasca periode Mongol. Dengan demikian, penulis akan melihat kebangkitan Osman Gazi sebagai studi kasus terhadap kebangkitan penguasa Muslim di Anatolia.

Published: November 2023

Many EFL learners who have spent years studying the language cannot perform well in writing. The difficulties in producing written English can hinder the success of learning English. Thus, this research aims to analyse the challenges that students commonly face in writing descriptive text. It employed a qualitative descriptive method to study the writing performance of seventh-grade EFL learners in one of the Indonesian junior high schools. Observation, students’ texts, and questionnaires were used to collect the data. The results of this study show that the difficulties in writing descriptive text concern language (vocabulary and language use), cognition (content, organisation, and mechanics), and psychological difficulties (feedback). The significant difficulty found in the students’ writing is reflected by mistakes made in language mechanics, which returned the lowest mean score (1.71). The other factors contributing to the students’ low writing performance are lack of vocabulary, of interest in learning English, and of understanding of language use and the structure of the text. Further factors include limited exposure to English writing activities – compounded by limited availability of dictionaries – as well as ineffective feedback from the teacher. Based on the results, it is suggested that teachers pay more attention to all aspects of challenges faced by students and their contributing factors by creating or providing creative and effective learning methods or media that can encourage students to achieve their learning objectives.Keywords: Students’ difficulties; Writing; Descriptive text

Authors: Burgin Ximena , Daniel Mayra , Coli Sheila
Published: November 2023

The impact of COVID-19 exacerbated the need to integrate social emotional learning (SEL) for equitable instruction in English as a Foreign Language Classrooms (EFL). This case study explored the integration of SEL in Uruguayan classrooms and its influence on educational practice. Thirteen teachers from public and private schools completed a Cultural Awareness Survey and answered open-ended questions before, during, and after viewing a professional development video on SEL. Findings document that participants recognized the diversity in their classrooms and the relationship between cultural values and interpersonal respect. All participants indicated that their pedagogy focuses on SEL activities, but their responses did not reflect the integration of SEL concepts into the EFL curriculum.     Keywords: Culturally responsive instruction; English as a foreign language; social emotional learning; Uruguayan Teachers

Published: November 2023

The present study aims to examine the current practices, constraints, and potential enablers when assessing students' listening skills in Indonesian Islamic higher education EFL classrooms. This study used a qualitative approach with a case study research design. The selection of the participants used purposive sampling. The study used interviews as a data gathering technique, involving six EFL lecturers in one Indonesian Islamic higher education institution in South Sulawesi. The findings show participants’ awareness of the various alternative methods to assess students’ listening skills. However, their discussions tend to focus on what is easiest to use as opposed to what matters most for students’ listening skills. Furthermore, participants’ descriptions of EFL lecturers’ constraints in assessing listening skills encompass various educational aspects, which could be classified into resources and practical constraints. The former includes a lack of representative language laboratories and learning resources for conducting quality listening assessment practices. The latter relates to time constraints, auditory surroundings, and designing and developing listening assessment instruments. Therefore, the participants raised several key strategies to enhance quality listening assessment practices, ranging from resources to practical strategies. This includes a high quality and sufficient quantity of educational resources, the use of diverse and authentic assessment tasks, and more collaborative work to share best practices and experience in conducting quality listening assessment practices. These findings imply the need for reformulation of existing practices and policies related to foreign language assessment that could have significant impacts on EFL students, teachers, and classrooms.
Exploring Students’ Informal Digital Learning of English (IDLE) and Self-Regulated Language Learning from a Sociocultural Perspective
Authors: Fauziah Fauziah , Diana Novita
Published: November 2023

This study investigates the phenomenon of informal digital learning of English (IDLE) among students engaged in independent online learning environments. Focusing on practices for students’ language development, this study explores how students autonomously acquire English language skills through informal digital means and examines the implications. It employs a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys and interviews to collect and analyse data from a diverse group of independent online learners of English (N= 182) from 23 different Indonesian universities. Quantitative data reveals that approximately 45.1% of the variation in self-regulated language learning can be explained with informal digital learning of English identified as one of the predictors. On the other hand, qualitative data findings indicate that students actively engage in IDLE through a variety of digital channels, including social media, online forums, language learning apps, and YouTube tutorials. These informal learning activities encompass a wide range of language skills, from vocabulary acquisition and pronunciation improvement to cultural understanding and conversational proficiency. Implications of this research point to the importance of recognising and harnessing students’ IDLE practices in formal educational settings. Educators and institutions can leverage these insights to design more effective online language learning programmes that incorporate elements of informal digital learning.
Text on Instagram as emerging genre: A framework for analyzing discursive communication on a visual platform
Authors: Schreiber Maria
Published: November 2023

Against the backdrop of Instagram’s transforming platform culture, this contribution proposes a framework for analyzing text posts as form of discursive communication. Text posts on the formerly mainly visual platform are understood as both a new social media genre and an emerging social practice. First, the genre is contextualized and grounded by recent evidence of a modal expansion, as well as through the reconstruction of transforming platform affordances. Secondly, based on long-term online ethnographic involvement and data collection, recurring categories and properties are identified within the emerging genre and differentiated in four discursive dimensions: text types, forms of (re)mediation, stance, and tonality. Variations within the dimensions are further distinguished and illustrated and their relevance scrutinized. These discursive dimensions are designed to be used as heuristics and / or analytical categories in combination with various methodological approaches from in-depth qualitative explorations to large-scale automated analyses. Finally, possible broader sociocultural implications of the emerging genre are discussed.

Published: November 2023

Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) dan ekstrak beras merah dapat digunakan sebagai bahan aktif dalam pembuatan sabun mandi antioksidan. Pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk membuat sabun antioksidan dengan memanfaatkan VCO dan ekstrak beras merah sebagai bahan aktif. Sabun dibuat dengan mereaksikan VCO, minyak kelapa, asam stearat dengan suatu basa (NaOH), selanjutnya ditambahkan bahan-bahan lain seperti minyak zaitun, minyak jarak, dan gliserin untuk menjaga kelembutan kulit. Ekstrak beras merah selain digunakan sebagai bahan aktif antioksidan, juga sebagai pewarna alami sabun. Masyarakat yang ditargetkan pada pelatihan pembuatan sabun adalah Ibu-ibu PKK Banjar Penganggahan Desa Tengkudak, Kecamatan Penebel Tabanan Bali. Desa tersebut telah membuat VCO secara mandiri, akan tetapi mereka mempunyai kendala dalam pemasaran. Sehingga pelatihan pembuatan sabun ini juga membantu ibu-ibu PKK dalam pemanfaatan VCO tersebut. Pengabdian telah dilaksanakan pada hari Selasa tanggal 10 Agustus 2021, dengan peserta sebanyak 17 orang. Metode yang dilakukan adalah ceramah dan praktek pembuatan sabun. Sabun beras merah yang dihasilkan telah sesuai dengan Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI) dan bersifat antioksidan dengan nilai IC50 sebesar 264,64 ppm (metode DPPH). Dengan telah dilaksanakannya pengabdian ini, wawasan ibu-ibu tentang manfaat bahan-bahan yang digunakan dan cara pembuatan sabun meningkat. Diharapkan akan dihasilkan produk sabun beras merah dari Banjar ini dalam skala home industry.
