Authors: Freitas Isabela S de , Roldán Gustavo Q , Macedo Ana Claudia , Mello Simone da C
Published: March 2021

ABSTRACT Supplemental lighting is becoming a common practice for horticultural greenhouse industries, especially at high-latitude countries. However, no scientific reports were found on this topic in tropical climate countries. This study investigates the effects of LED-interlighting and grafting on photosynthetic response and yield and quality of mini cucumber (hybrid Larino). The experiment took place from April to August in a greenhouse located at a Cwa climate type in Piracicaba (SP), Brazil (22°42’S; 47°37’W; 541 m altitude). The experiment was arranged in completely randomized block design composed of three types of seedlings (ungrafted hybrid, hybrid grafted onto rootstock cultivar Keeper and hybrid grafted onto rootstock cultivar Shelper) and two environments related to light condition (LED supplemental light and natural light as control). The LED devices were placed horizontally at 15 cm from the plants and at 1,5 m height from the floor. The LEDs emitted a photon flux of 220 µmol m-2 s-1 by red light (80%) with a peak wavelength of 662 nm and blue light (20%) with a peak wavelength of 452 nm. Lighting was used for 12 h d-1 from 30 days after seedling transplanting until the end of the growth period. The air temperature and relative humidity (RH) were maintained at 23.5±4°C and 72±10% during the light period, respectively. At night, average temperature was 18.6±5°C and the RH was 90±5%. The LED-interlighting treatment increased in 40% the plant CO2 net assimilation rate compared to plants grown under natural light in the greenhouse. Plants grafted onto both rootstocks had higher CO2 net assimilation rate (µmol CO2 m-2 s-1), apparent carboxylation efficiency (µmol CO2 mol air-1) and apparent electron transport rate (µmol electrons m-2 s-1) than non-grafted ones. The early yield increased 11.6% and 24% in response to LED-interlighting and grafting, respectively. The commercial yield also increased with LED light at rate of 13% but did not enhance with grafting. Postharvest quality parameters as titratable acidity, total soluble solids and shelf life were not affected by the LED light supplementation. Our study shows that even in tropical climate conditions LED-interlighting can be used as a tool to improve commercial cucumber production.
Democracia sanitária: avanços e resistências no processo de participação dos pacientes/usuários no sistema de saúde francês
Authors: Gama Carlos Alberto Pegolo da , Figueiredo Mariana Dorsa
Published: March 2021

Resumo A discussão a respeito dos avanços dos cuidados em saúde passa pela questão da participação dos pacientes/usuários nas decisões a respeito de seu tratamento, dos seus direitos e de sua influência nas políticas públicas de saúde. O objetivo do presente artigo é fazer um breve histórico sobre a participação dos pacientes/usuários no sistema de saúde francês e apontar as principais conquistas e dificuldades presentes na atualidade. O artigo utiliza dados de arquivos oficiais, documentos produzidos por associações de pacientes e artigos de revistas especializadas. Na França, a participação dos pacientes faz parte de um cenário complexo que pode ser reconhecido no termo “Democracia Sanitária”, que surge a partir da aproximação do campo da saúde e da política, propondo o questionamento das relações de poder estruturadas entre os atores e da possibilidade de um debate entre ciência e democracia. A epidemia da aids na década de 80 acompanhada de vários escândalos sanitários propiciou uma ruptura no modelo tradicional de estruturação das relações no campo da saúde produzindo uma mudança do status do paciente, de seu papel e de sua própria identidade através do fortalecimento do movimento associativo.
An experimental study on the fatigue properties of Alccofine-based crumb rubber concrete
Authors: Haldar Puja , Karmakar Somnath
Published: March 2021

The disposal of rubber tyres is one of the common causes of environmental pollution. This problem may be solved using crumb rubber (CR) as a construction material without side effects. Therefore, an attempt has been initiated in the present experimental study to prepare green concrete by replacing various sustainable materials in multiple percentages. This study continues with fatigue and mechanical properties, crack patterns, load–displacement behaviours under cyclic load and failure modes of normal concrete, CR concrete (CRC) and Alccofine-based CRC. Nineteen different mixes are taken into account with 5 and 7% replacements of CR (10, 12 and 20 mesh) with sand and different proportions of silica fume, fly ash and Alccofine. The compressive strength and splitting tensile strength are reduced with the increase in CR content and inversely increase with the rise in CR size. Therefore, Alccofine and silica fume have been used to resolve the problems of strength reduction. The results indicate that the failure manner of CRC beams is gradual, which means enhancement of structural ductility. Finally, this study proposes the application of Alccofine- and silica-fume-based CRC for magnifying structural ductility.
Foam-induced high gas pressures in wet municipal solid waste landfills

Published: March 2021

The assumption that the gas is a connected phase leads to underestimation of the gas pressure in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. In this study, the high gas pressure is shown, by way of field investigations and laboratory experiments, to be caused by foam in the landfills. The field investigations indicated that environmental disasters that have occurred at several landfills in China were caused by high gas or pore pressures. During drilling in these landfills, it was found that a mixture of foam and leachate was ejected from the borehole. The laboratory experiments indicated that foam generation in the landfills was attributable to the two-stage anaerobic biodegradation behaviours of MSWs. Volatile fatty acids (VFAs) decreased the surface tension of the leachate, enabling it to generate foam. The foam's composite index was adopted to evaluate foaming ability and foam stability of the leachate. Meanwhile, the liquid film in the foam divided the gas into a disconnected phase and remarkably increased its flow resistance. An experimental apparatus was designed to compare quantitatively the flow resistances of foam and gas in MSWs. When the foam and gas were injected into a saturated waste column at the same rate, the pressure drop of the foam (412 kPa) was 2·54 times that of the connected-phase gas (162 kPa), thereby resulting in lower residual liquid saturation for foam displacement. The unsaturated permeability coefficient of the foam was about an order of magnitude lower than that of the gas. Owing to the low permeability of waste to foam and continuous gas generation, high gas pressures are easily developed in wet landfills.
Introduction: lieux de savoir and archéologie du savoir
Authors: Corbellini Sabrina , Hoogvliet Margriet
Published: March 2021

The introduction to this special collection addresses a fundamental issue: the link between savoir/knowledge and the spatial turn in the humanities. This point, which will be the connecting thread of the articles to be published in the collection, is addressed and discussed through an analysis of two books that have significantly influenced theoretical reflection in the mentioned field: Michel Foucault's L'Archéologie du savoir (1969) and Christian Jacob's Qu'est-ce qu'un lieu de savoir? (2014). Keeping in mind the theoretical developments of the past half century, the introduction will look back on Foucault's concepts in order to see how they can be re-read in the light of recent developments in the spatial humanities and in particular in connection with the concept of lieux de savoir and the history of (religious) reading and knowledge transfer in medieval and early modern culture.
Study on the kinetics of process for obtaining cobalt nanopowder by hydrogen reduction under isothermal conditions
Authors: Tien Hieр Nguyen
Published: March 2021

The kinetics of metallic cobalt nanopowder synthesizing by hydrogen reduction from Co(OH)2 nanopowder under isothermal conditions were studied. Co(OH)2 nanopowder was prepared in advance by chemical deposition from aqueous solutions of Co(NO3)2 cobalt nitrate (10 wt.%) and NaOH alkali (10 wt.%) at room temperature, pH = 9 under continuous stirring. The hydrogen reduction of Co(OH)2 nanopowder under isothermal conditions was carried out in a tube furnace in the temperature range from 270 to 310 °C. The crystal structure and composition of powders was studied by X-ray phase analysis. The specific surface area of samples was measured using the BET method by low-temperature nitrogen adsorption. The average particle size of powders was determined by the measured specific surface area. Particles size characteristics and morphology were investigated by transmission and scanning electron microscopes. Kinetic parameters of Co(OH)2 hydrogen reduction under isothermal conditions were calculated using the Gray–Weddington model and Arrhenius equation. It was found that the rate constant of reduction at t = 310 °C is approximately 1.93 times higher than at 270 °C, so the process accelerates by 1.58 times for 40 min of reduction. The activation energy of cobalt nanopowder synthesizing from Co(OH)2 by hydrogen reduction is ~40 kJ/mol, which indicates a mixed reaction mode. It was shown that cobalt nanoparticles obtained by the hydrogen reduction of its hydroxide at 280 °C are aggregates of equiaxed particles up to 100 nm in size where individual particles are connected to several neighboring particles by contact isthmuses.

Authors: Glumova Zhanna
Published: March 2021

China is the biggest importer of Russian timber. However, the economic advantage, obtained from timber export, is not explicit for Russia. A pressing issue is the non-controlled cutting-down of forests on the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as their low reproduction. In view of this, The Russian Federation enacted the law envisaging temporary on timber export. Harvesting is allowed only for processing or using without processing on theterritory of he Russian Federation. This law will allow to restore the afforestation on cut-down or damaged areas, will serve as an impetus for developing national timber manufacturing industry, will contribute to creating additional jobs, and as well will increase budget incomes at various levels. What assessment is the Russian timber industry subject to and what is the response of the Chinese Internet–mass media to the prohibition of timber export? The answers to these questions are revealed in this article.
Cultural Contacts Between Russia And China: Contemprory History
Authors: Bagdueva Anna , Rogoznaya Nina
Published: March 2021

The Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China perceive each other as strategic, independent and equal partners with joint projects in bilateral trade, national security, tourism, education, etc. Countries are committed to long-term and mature cooperation and to peaceful and balanced settlement of disputes. Successful intercultural communication, based on an understanding of the values and norms of another nation, is a guarantee not only of peaceful relations but also of mutually beneficial partnership. We should understand that communication does not take place between States and organizations, but between real people and representatives of their countries. The communicator is the bearer of the collective experience of his people. Its national and cultural identity is shaped by the society in which he was brought up. In intercultural communication «their» norms are treated as reference norms, and «others» as incomprehensible, non-motivated and inadequate. The article discusses the cultural codes of Russia and China, examines the influence of national way of thinking on the vision of different reality and mentality, analyzes patterns of behaviour and judgment, which have a negative impact on the effectiveness of communication in various areas of joint activity. The article also describes recent intercultural contacts and highlights the most significant differences between the two countries. The article may be of interest to specialists and teachers in the field of intercultural communication, since it gives an idea of the manifestations of national and cultural identity in the individual, in his behaviour and in his speech. The article explores the reasons for negative impact on intercultural contacts in the recent period.
Fracture of endodontic instruments - Part 1: Literature review on factors that influence instrument breakage
Authors: Pillay Maheshan , Vorster Martin , Van der Vyver Peet J
Published: March 2021

Instrument fracture is a serious complication during endodontic treatment of teeth, having an adverse effect on the outcome of the nickel titanium (NiTi) treatment, especially if the fracture prevents apical access to the infected root canal. Despite the advent of NiTi files, the risk of fracture during the endodontic preparation of root canals, especially in severely curved canals, remains a serious concern. The fracture of NiTi files during preparation may result in a compromised prognosis for the tooth. In the presence of periapical lesions, instrument fracture may reduce the chances of successful healing.
Re-thinking South African dentists' role in a pandemic
Authors: Adam Razia Z
Published: March 2021

Mass disasters such as terrorism, earthquakes and virus outbreaks challenge any healthcare system. Response teams to disasters typically consist of health professionals, local government, corporations, and community organizations, academics and the scientific community. Dentists or dental hygienists have traditionally only played a role in the identification of victims or in the treatment of facial trauma in disaster response. In South Africa, the response was mainly driven by medical professionals. Collaborative practice supported by inter-professional education may offer a solution to assist countries struggling with access to healthcare and overburdened health systems. In addition, revisiting the dentists' role in prioritising oral health and its relationship with general health and well-being is much needed. This short article provides a perspective on the role of South African dentists' contribution to health during a pandemic.

La pandemia provocada por la COVID-19 se ha llevado por delante a buena parte de las pequeñas y medianas empresas españolas. Sin embargo, estas pymes dedicadas a la comunicación han visto cómo la crisis económica no solo no ha afectado de la misma manera que al resto de empresas y autónomos, sino que están saliendo adelante, en una amplia mayoría, con la gran esperanza de que la crisis les respetará en este 2021, a pesar de los duros ajustes que han tenido que hacer ante la reducción mayoritaria de ingresos. El estudio se ha realizado en pymes y autónomos/as de la Comunidad de Aragón fundamentalmente pero también se ha estudiado en una pequeña muestra de las de Madrid, por ser territorios representativos de lo que ocurre en España. El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en averiguar cuáles han sido las medidas adoptadas por estas empresas para afrontar y capear la crisis mundial. A través de una metodología e-Delphi se ha obtenido como principales conclusiones el alto grado de positividad frente a la crisis detectada en estas empresas; sus empeños por salir adelante, a pesar del mazazo económico que ha supuesto para la mayoría la bajada de ingresos y el alto grado de solidaridad para con el resto de la sociedad desplegada por estas personas.

Published: March 2021

Esta investigación analiza el crecimiento económico desde la teoría de la eficiencia dinámica, utilizando un indicador global de competitividad y uno de libertad económica global, partiendo de la hipótesis de que mayor libertad económica se traduce en mayor competitividad y crecimiento económico. La eficiencia dinámica sustentada en autores de la economía austriaca pretende explicar cómo el incremento en la rentabilidad y productividad en la producción de bienes y servicios, depende principalmente de la creatividad empresarial. Desde el punto de vista metodológico, el estudio es descriptivo, correlacional y prospectivo, se empleó datos de panel de las 20 economías más grandes del continente americano; también analiza los principales indicadores macroeconómicos, la calidad de las instituciones, salud, educación primaria, infraestructura y el grado de innovación empresarial, correlacionado con variables que miden el nivel de libertad para hacer negocios, presión fiscal, tamaño del gobierno, seguridad jurídica; se mide la competitividad por medio de los factores que determinan la productividad de una economía. Entre los principales resultados se encontró que el índice de libertad económica y el PIB per cápita, muestran una relación causal bidireccional en el sentido de Granger, develando con ello una relación de endogeneidad entre ambas variables. Se demostró el grado de cointegración, causalidad y explicación de la competitividad y la libertad económica con el crecimiento económico.
Gestión de costos en las cadenas productivas: reflexiones sobre su génesis
Authors: Melean Romero Rosana , Torres Fernando
Published: March 2021

La gestión de costos representa una importante herramienta para la toma de decisiones en empresas, más en épocas caracterizadas por altos niveles de incertidumbre y restricciones. Se precisa como objetivo analizar la gestión de costos desde la perspectiva de las cadenas productivas. Se apoya en la revisión y análisis de documentos científicos, procedentes de bases de datos especializadas, con la finalidad de identificar aspectos que permitan centrar la atención no solo en las relaciones internas de producción y sus costos; sino en el análisis cuantitativo en otros eslabones de la cadena: aprovisionamiento (disposición de factores de producción esenciales) y comercialización y ventas (salida de productos derivados de la actividad medular). Cuando las empresas requieren información contable focalizada para realizar análisis y proyecciones, la contabilidad de costos es una alternativa. Sin embargo, contextos cambiantes, exigen combinar métodos, medidas y reportes específicos sobre costos, con elementos cualitativos ofrecidos por la administración. Ambas disciplinas se complementan y dan surgimiento a la contabilidad de gestión o gestión de costos. Esta desde la concepción de cadenas productivas, permite organizaciones más potentes, al asumir una visión extendida en el análisis de las erogaciones incurridas. Sumar y ampliar desde una visión integral, permite analizar y evaluar costos asociados al aprovisionamiento de insumos, la producción y comercialización de productos o servicios con un mayor direccionamiento y sustento de decisiones empresariales.

Authors: ŞENOCAK Ayşegül , AKBAŞ Hüseyin
Published: March 2021

The reaction of o-aminophenol with para hydroxy and methoxy substituted benzaldehydes yielded two Schiff bases. These Schiff bases functioning precursors were turned into palladium complexes by treating palladium acetate. The structural formulas based on spectral methods (elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy and QTOF-LC/MS spectroscopy) were suggested for obtained both complexes. According to the structural characterization methods, one of the complexes had also an acetate co-ligand along with the hydroxy substituted Schiff base ligand. In the other complex, the palladium central ion was proposed to be coordinated with two methoxy substituted Schiff bases. Besides, DPPH scavenging activities of the all synthesized compounds were determined and compared to well-known antioxidant standards. According to the results, antioxidant activities of the palladium complexes was mild but lower than parent Schiff bases.
XRD and photoluminescence measurements of GaN grown on dome shaped patterned sapphire with different NH3 flow rates
Authors: ALTUNTAS İsmail
Published: March 2021

The aim of the study is to understand the effects of NH3 flow rate in the initial part of high temperature (HT) GaN growth on structural and optical characteristics of the HT-GaN layer grown on dome shaped sapphire susbtrate by Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) system. High resolution x-ray diffraction (HRXRD) and photoluminescence (PL) measurements were performed to characterization the growing GaN epilayer. It is observed that the using of different NH3 flow rate in the initial part of HT-GaN growth has an effect on both full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) values obtained from HRXRD results and intensities of yellow luminescence peaks. It is seen that the FWHM values obtained from the symmetric (00.2) omega scan increased as the NH3 flow rates in the initial part of HT-GaN growth increased. It is demonstrated that the intensities of yellow luminescence peaks are very sensitive to NH3 flow rates in the initial part of HT-GaN growth.

Published: March 2021

3D multiphase flow was analyzed in the area of Rijeka bay in the Adriatic Sea. The necessary morphology data in the range of interest of the coastal bottom area were collected and the spatial surface was created. The functionality of the 3D model was studied in the large area of the realistic stochastic structure of the bottom and the shore. The probability of meteorological conditions and wind impact in the model has been shown. The obtained results give a detailed view of the velocity fields in the horizontal plane of different depths. Numerical simulation was performed in open source program OpenFOAM with Volume of Fluid (VOF) method using the Eulerian approach. For solving this problem interFOAM solver for two incompressible, isothermal, immiscible fluids was used. The resulting simulations showed dominant flow from the western coast of the Krk island to the eastern coast of the Istrian peninsula. Seawater enters the bay through the Srednja Vrata and Tihi Kanal and exits the bay through the Vela Vrata. This research has shown that using a VOF method can be successfully implemented for describing fluid motion in large areas such as bays and oceans.

Kegiatan pengabdian kemitraan masyarakat ini dilaksanakan di SD Muhammadiyah Insan Kreatif Kembaran, Tamantirta, Kasihan, Bantul. Tujuan pelaksanaan kegiatan ini adalah untuk meningkatkan penguasaan kosa kata bahasa Inggris siswa SD tersebut. Pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris kurang variatif. Kurangnya sumber daya untuk memfasilitasi pengajaran Bahasa Inggris merupakan permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh sekolah mitra tersebut. Program kemitraan ini melaksankan program pembelajaran bahasa Inggris dengan metode Total Physical Response (TPR) storytelling. Pengajaran TPR storytelling ini dilaksanakan oleh dosen dibantu oleh mahasiswa PBI UMY sebagai fasilitator pelaksanaan program. Program pengajaran ini telah dilaksanakan secara tatap muka (luring) sebanyak dua kali. Akan tetapi, karena kondisi pandemi yang mengharuskan siswa belajar dari rumah, program ini diubah menjadi pembuatan video pembelajaran dengan menggunakan TPR story telling. Dari pengajaran secara tatap muka, diperoleh hasil bahwa siswa-siswi juga terlihat antusias mengikuti pembelajaran dengan menggunakan metode tersebut. Hal ini terlihat dari antusiasme mereka memeragakan dan menyebutkan kosakata yang diajarkan dengan menggunakan TPR storytelling. Selain itu, penggunaan TPR storytelling bisa membuat siswa-siswi SD memahami kosakata bahasa Inggris lebih cepat. Hal ini terlihat dari kemampuan siswa untuk menyebutkan kembali kosakata yang diajarkan selama menggunakan TPR storytelling. Melihat hasil positif penggunaan metode tersebut, kami menyarankan penggunaan metode TPR storytelling untuk pengajaran Bahasa Inggris.

Di tengah maraknya penyebaran virus Corona (Covid-19), tanaman rimpang menjadi ramuan yang banyak diandalkan masyarakat. Minuman jahe merupakan salah satu minuman yang halal dan thoyyib karena selain bermanfaat sebagai bumbu, jahe juga memberi manfaat bagi Kesehatan, yakni memberikan efek antioksidan, anti peradangan, serta memberi perlindungan yang maksimal terhadap tubuh, termasuk perlindungan dari virus Corona. Selain minuman jahe, materi pengabdian ini juga melatih pembuatan bubuk jahe (bon cabai).  Dampak dari pandemi Covid-19 adalah produk cabai sebagai salah satu komoditas pertanian melimpah dan tidak terserap oleh pasar sehingga sangat merugikan petani. Dengan diolahnya cabai menjadi bentuk bubuk, hal ini akan menyelamatkan produk cabai dari kerusakan. Mitra dalam Program Pengabdian Masyarakat Berbasis Persyarikatan Muhammadiyah (PPM MUH) adalah Aisyiyah Ranting Sinduadi Tengan, Mlati,  Sleman. Tingkat pendapatan rumah tangga anggota Aisyiyah sebagian besar masih rendah. Pimpinan Cabang Aisyiyah Mlati sebagai mitra berencana memberdayakan ibu-ibu anggota Aisyiyah untuk membentuk kelompok usaha mandiri yang bisa membantu menopang keuangan keluarga. Target luaran yang ingin dicapai adalah memotivasi kelompok mitra agar tumbuh jiwa kewirausahaannya dengan melakukan usaha makanan dan minuman di masa pandemi ini.

Sistem Informasi Desa (SID) merupakan salah satu mandat dalam UU Desa No 6 Tahun 2014 tentang Desa untuk mendukung tata kelola pembangunan desa. Namun demikian SID ini masih  banyak dipahami secara kurang tepat oleh perangkat desa maupun masyarakat desa yaitu sebagai sebuah produk sistem informasi semata, padahal SID dapat meningkatkan kualitas pembangunan desa, khususnya pada pembangunan kesehatan dan pemberdayaan perempuan berbasis data dengan mengedepankan prinsip partisipatif dan adil gender. Arus utama yang banyak terjadi di desa bahwa pembangunan dalam bidang kesehatan dan pemberdayaan perempuan masih belum menjadi prioritas. Merespon kondisi tersebut maka dilakukan pendampingan pengembangan SID dengan menggunakan pendekatan perspektif gender dan partisipatif di desa Kalibening, kecamatan Dukun, Magelang. Metode yang dilakukan diawali dengan need assessment, workshop SID dan perencenaan desa, workshop partisipatif penyusunan peta desa, penyusunan instrumen dan monev. Hasil dari pendampingan yang telah dilakukan adalah bahwa pengembangan manajemen SID secara partisipatif dan berpihak pada perempuan, berdampak pada ketersediaan data dan informasi desa yang sesuai dengan kondisi sosial ekonomi dan budaya desa serta kebutuhan maupun potensi perempuan di desa tersebut. Selain itu, integrasi data Program Indonesia Sehat dengan Pendekatan Keluarga ke dalam SID dapat meningkatkan kualitas perencanaan pembangunan desa berbasis data.

Gencarnya gaya hidup back to nature berdampak pada perilaku masyarakat dalam konsumsi tanaman obat baik yang masih alam maupun yang sudah dalam bentuk sediaan. Minimnya pengetahuan mengakibatkan penggunaan Tanaman Obat Keluarga (TOGA) yang kurang bijak, selain itu minimnya lahan terbatas juga membuat sulit untuk membudidayakan. Untuk itu pengabdi tergerak untuk meluruskan dari penyimpangan penggunaan TOGA dan mengajarkan tanaman tumbuh dalam pot (Tambulampot). Mitra yang digaet adalah Lembaga Lingkungan Hidup dan Penanggulangan Bencana Pimpinan Wilayah Aisyiyah Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (LLHPB PWA DIY) yang memiliki fokus terhadap permasalahan lingkungan, dengan menggerakkan potensi wanita. LLHPB memiliki 5 kader Aisyiyah di tiap kabupaten sehingga harapannya bisa ditularkan di tingkat ranting. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan pada tanggal 15 Maret 2020 di Kampus Terpadu Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta dihadiri oleh 35 peserta dari LLHPB. Pada kegiatan ini juga menyosialisasikan Modul SALING TOGA di mana tiap peserta diukur dari pretes dan postes untuk evaluasi tingkat pemahaman. Pada kesempatan ini tiap daerah/POS diberikan paket TOGA sesuai penyakit yang marak dikalangan masyarakat diantaranya gangguan pada Nafas, Hormon, Cerna, Jantung dan Syaraf. Hasil program ini menunjukan adanya peningkatan pemahaman sebesar 13,7% tentang TOGA. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa sosialisasi bermanfaat bagi peningkatan pengetahuan bagi para kader dan harapannnya bisa secara rutin.

KESETARAAN GENDER SEBAGAI KUNCI AISYIYAH BERKEMAJUAN

Published: March 2021

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran tentang  pelaksanaan pengabdian masyarakat yang dilakukan oleh Tim Prodi S1 dan S2 Hubungan Internasional, Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta di Cabang Aisyiyah Wirobrajan dan Cabang Aisyiyah Ngampilan, Yogyakarta, dengan tema pengabdian “Kesetaraan Gender sebagai Kunci Aisyiyah Berkemajuan”. Pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk mensosialisasikan tentang pentingnya kesetaraan gender, menumbuhkan dan meningkatkan kesadaran akan pentingnya kesetaraan gender, serta mengusahakan program pemberdayaan ekonomi perempuan di tingkat akar rumput. Sesuai dengan tujuan tersebut maka  metode pengabdian yang dipilih adalah sosialisasi, diskusi dan pemberian bantuan stimulan untuk rintisan usaha kecil bagi Cabang Aisyiyah Wirobrajan dan Ngampilan.

Sampai dengan saat ini perempuan masih dihadapkan pada berbagai masalah, seperti tingginya angka pernikahan anak, perceraian, kekerasan dalam rumah tangga, kemiskinan yang semakin parah sehubunga dengan pandemi  COVID, hingga rendahnya partisipasi perempuan dalam politik. Sejak pendiriannya pada 1917, tujuan utama Aisyiyah adalah menumbuhkan kesadaran masyarakat, khususnya perempuan, terhadap berbagai masalah yang ada di masyarakat. Aisyiyah sengaja dibentuk sebagai basis gerakan untuk berkiprah di masyarakat, bagi bangsa dan kemajuan peradaban dunia. Misi ini hanya dapat dicapai jika perempuan berani berfikir maju, tidak terkungkung pada sekat gender yang membelenggu.

Hasil  diskusi dalam pengabdian masyarakat tersebut  menunjukkan tentang pentingnya kesetaraan gender untuk meningkatkan kualitas hidup perempuan, keluarga, masyarakat dan Negara. Kesetaraan gender merupakan prinsip dasar yang akanmenjadi kunci untuk mewujudkan  kesetaraan dibidang kesehatan, pendidikan, perekonomian dan politik antara perempuan dan laki-laki sehingga baik perempuan maupun laki-laki akan menjadi sumberdaya manusia yang berkualitas, yang diperlukan bagi pembangunan Indonesia dan umat manusia pada umumnya.
