Gestión de salud descentralizada
Authors: Castañeda Vlado
Published: December 2024

El poder de asignación, distribución y uso de los recursos públicos es crucial. Sin una adecuada gestión financiera, es complicado gestionar. No obstante, no solo se requieren recursos presupuestales o financieros para gestionar, como se dejó claro en varias exposiciones ayer. Primero, es necesario saber cómo gestionar. Por ejemplo, si te proporciono 20,000 millones de dólares ahora para la lucha contra el cáncer, ¿cuánto de ese monto realmente se gastará? El desafío no radica solo en los recursos, sino también en la capacidad de gestionarlos.
(...)
Finalmente, mi última recomendación es que, dado que este es un trabajo que implica una estrecha colaboración con los gobiernos regionales, creo que deberíamos trabajar con el Dr. Berrospi y la ANGR para establecer algo similar a un observatorio. Esto nos permitiría monitorear la progresividad del proyecto. Aprovecho para hacer un llamado a los representantes de Arequipa y al Presidente de la ANGR presentes en esta reunión. También a la vicegobernadora y a la consejera: comuniquen al gobernador la importancia de trabajar juntos en este proyecto. Si se han dado cuenta, este modelo solo funcionará si todos colaboran y monitorean el progreso de la implementación de la red.

RESUMEN
El estudio revisa el proceso de importación de vehículos para personas con discapacidad en Ecuador, analizando los desafíos y el panorama de este proceso. Sin embargo, Durante el siglo XIX se fundaron instituciones para personas con discapacidad de igual manera se crean movimientos que abogan por los derechos y la equidad de estas personas. En los años 90 se aprueba la Ley de estadounidenses con Discapacidades (ADA) marcando un hito importante en la igualdad de acceso y oportunidades para este tipo de personas. A mediados del siglo XX en el Ecuador se da mayor importancia a sus derechos, creándose instituciones de ayuda, sin embargo, carecían de recursos y condiciones adecuadas. En los años 70 se fundó la Federación Nacional de Organizaciones para personas con Discapacidad del Ecuador (FENASEP), en 1992 se emite la Ley sobre Discapacidades, sentando bases para la creación del Consejo Nacional de Discapacidades (CONADIS).  En 2012 se emite una nueva Ley garantizando la inclusión social, laboral y educativa. Se enfatiza la importancia de importar vehículos adaptados para mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas con discapacidad, promoviendo una mayor integración social. El estudio analiza los desafíos que tienen que enfrentar las personas con discapacidad, el desconocimiento de la oportunidad de obtener este beneficio. En este sentido, el objetivo de esta investigación ha sido avanzar hacia una sociedad más inclusiva, donde las personas con discapacidad tengan igualdad de oportunidades y derechos que el resto de la población. La investigación es de carácter cualitativa. Para la obtención de los datos se consideró opiniones de profesionales del área de estudio y experiencia de personas que realizaron procesos de importación de vehículos. En conclusión, el artículo enfatiza la importancia de desarrollar estrategias que faciliten los procedimientos de importación de vehículos adaptados a personas con discapacidad, promoviendo de esta manera la inclusión y bienestar social.

Published: December 2024

Este estudio examina el impacto del crecimiento urbano en las áreas verdes de Otavalo, Ecuador, a través de un análisis multitemporal utilizando imágenes satelitales y técnicas de teledetección. Los índices espectrales como el Normalized Difference Vegetation Index y el Normalized Difference Built-up Index se aplicaron a imágenes Landsat 8 para detectar cambios en la cobertura vegetal y las áreas edificadas en los años analizados. Los resultados muestran una expansión significativa de las áreas construidas, acompañada de una drástica disminución de las áreas verdes, lo que subraya la necesidad de políticas urbanas sostenibles. Se concluye que la planificación territorial debe priorizar la protección de los espacios verdes para mitigar los impactos negativos del crecimiento urbano no planificado en Otavalo.
Shifting Gender Norms of Care in the Family Home in Aotearoa
Authors:   , Bennett Philippa
Published: December 2024

Although gender roles have shifted significantly for women over the past 50 years, gender roles for men largely remain the same. In Aotearoa New Zealand, unpaid labour in the home of dual working different sex couples with children is highly gendered, with women shouldering primary responsibility for childcare and housework. This has left the family as a site of tension between paid and unpaid work. While there has been much work done to understand the interplay between gender, work and family, many interventions are pro-mother rather than pro-family and there is no consensus on what interventions or policies create gender equality in the home. Therefore, this research aims to examine how gender norms drive inequality in unpaid labour at home, and how they might be shifted for more equitable home lives. Nine different sex dual-working couples with their youngest child aged 3 or younger participated in surveys, interviews and workshops to share their experiences and beliefs about the division of childcare and housework. Findings show that gender norms drive the unequal division of unpaid labour and emphasise how systemic forces, such as government policy, enforce and maintain traditional gender norms. Utilising feminist design practices, two artefacts were created focusing on enhancing systemic support of plurality in the identities and experiences of parents beyond the traditional mother/father binary. This work also reflects on what feminist design looks like in practice and proposes four key matters essential to guiding feminist design practitioners. These contributions show promise in providing better identification of gender norms, highlighting where interventions are best focused for results, and provide recommendations for orientating feminist design in practice.
Erosive-abrasive wear modeling of a water jet pump in a slurry medium
Authors: Kosa Ergin , Mutlu Yaşar
Published: December 2024

In the study, water jet pump transfers the slurry in the well through pipe system to centrifugal pump. Sand-water mixture causes amount of material loss in the water jet pump structure computed by a software program. The purpose of the study is to determine the most critical part in the water jet pump. The wear amount is affected by many parameters such as sand particle diameter, mass flow rate of abrasive and inlet velocity. So, it is investigated that the wear amount on the jet pump is changed according to sand percentage in the well water, inlet velocity and erodent diameter. Mass flow rates of sand have a value of 0.097 kg/s for w.p. % 5, 0.194 kg/s for w.p. % 10, 0.291 kg/s for w.p. % 15 at an inlet velocity of 3.98 m/s. The maximum erosion wear rate is raised from 2.26x10-4 kg/(s m2) to 6.84x10-8 kg/s2m2 for inlet velocities of 1.99 m/s, 3.98 and 7.96 m/s, respectively for the case of weight percentages of %15 in Finnie erosion wear model. Finnie, Mclaury, Generic and Oka erosion models have been compared. It is found that Mclaury’s erosion model demonstrates the highest erosion value of 1.38x10-3 kg/(s m2) for w.p. % 15 at 3.98 m/s inlet velocity for the erodent diameter of 0.0005m in all. It is claimed that erosive wear has been concentrated on the nozzle of the water jet pump. The wear rate can be predicted as straightforwardly for different conditions.
Representation of different social actors in readers’ comments on immigration: The case of German newspaper articles
Authors: Os Stanisław , Wąs Tomasz
Published: December 2024

The article discusses how different social actors are represented in discourse related to immigration and refugees. The main focus is on the comments to the German newspaper articles in the context of the meeting of right-wing politicians and extremists, such as the members of the German Alternative für Deutschland party; during that meeting, the participants discussed controversial immigration policies. Comments posted under the articles covering this meeting and its outcomes are analysed using tools provided by Critical Discourse Analysis. This method shows that both the AfD party and migrants are passivated (migrants more than AfD), with AfD being presented as a victim of circumstances, while migrants are mostly treated as objects in most of the comments. Most blame for the situation seems to be directed towards “the democratic opposition”.

El framing de la comunicación política: Las mañaneras 2018-2022
Authors: Chihu Amparán Aquiles
Published: December 2024

¿Cómo se comunican los líderes con sus seguidores? Los análisis presentados en este libro, proporcionan un respaldo empírico a la hipótesis: la principal herramienta de un líder es el framing. En el examen de la naturaleza del liderazgo, el modelo de análisis que se propone tiene sus fundamentos en la teoría de los frames y en la teoría del framing. No es posible entender una sin la otra, ya que forman parte de los esfuerzos por interpretar un mismo proceso cognitivo y comunicativo donde intervienen los frames del pensamiento y el framing de la comunicación. Framing significa hacer visible un frame invisible. El presidente logra visibilizar y comunicar el frame de la corrupción que permanecía invisible, legitimado por las élites simbólicas que monopolizan el discurso: periodistas, intelectuales, científicos, políticos, empresarios, líderes sociales. El modelo del framing de la comunicación política se aplica en el análisis de la comunicación presidencial durante los primeros cuatro años de las conferencias mañaneras.
Uruguay através de Punta del Este:
Authors: Cajarville Daniel
Published: December 2024

Esta investigación estudia las imágenes proyectadas durante el período 1997 - 2020 por el diario Folha de São Paulo sobre el destino Punta del Este (PdE), a partir de su relación con las imágenes de Uruguay, durante un período de consolidación de los flujos de movilidad desde Brasil.  A través de una estrategia de análisis de contenido y estudio bibliográfico, se identifican imágenes en torno la geografía uruguaya y puntaesteña, por un lado, así como dimensiones simbólicas en torno al ethos del país y su destino insignia. Por una parte, la ciudad, la playa y el campo constituyen la imagen de Uruguay a la vez que la imagen de PdE ello condensa; por otra parte, la estabilidad, progresismo y tranquilidad imaginados para el Uruguay dialogan singularmente con la seguridad, suntuosidad y relativa agitación puntaesteña. Se concluye que las imágenes de Uruguay vistas por el periódico brasileño se diversifican a través de aquellas de Punta del Este, al mismo tiempo que las representaciones en torno al área balnearia condensan atributos nacionales entre la metonimia y el oxímoron.
Caracterização das pesquisas sobre destino turístico, marketing e turista
Authors: Rodrigues Fernanda Imaculada Barroso Veríssimo e , Lemuel de Oliveira Alexandre Mauro
Published: December 2024

O desenvolvimento da atividade turística é decorrente do deslocamento de pessoas de um destino emissor para um destino receptor, caracterizado como Destino Turístico. No destino turístico é o local onde ocorrem as trocas comerciais e culturais modificando a dinâmica de vida da comunidade. E para que seja uma atividade organizada, pensa-se na necessidade de ações de planejamento e de marketing que estruture a atividade de modo a atender as necessidades dos turistas. O objetivo do artigo é analisar as características da produção científica sobre destinos turísticos, marketing e turista. Para isso, fez-se uma revisão de artigos científicos publicados a partir do ano de 2010 e que constam na plataforma Publicações de Turismo. Essa plataforma é uma base de dados criada pelo Programa de Pós-Graduação em Turismo da EACH-USP que reúne as publicações de pesquisadores nos periódicos iberoamericanos de turismo. Com a busca de dados na referida plataforma obteve-se o retorno de 20 artigos que foram analisados com o objetivo de compreender as características teóricas e metodológicas das pesquisas dessas produções. Conclui-se que, as pesquisas sobre essa temática tratam as relações existentes dentro do setor turístico, como a imagem do lugar e promoção dos destinos e que a abordagem metodológica mais presente foi a qualitativa de natureza exploratória e descritiva, onde os autores buscaram compreender as ações do marketing sobre os destinos turísticos e, consequentemente sobre os turistas.

Mobilidades imaginativas e turismo urbano
Authors: Silva do Lago Andressa , Allis Thiago
Published: December 2024

O turismo urbano é um conjunto de práticas turísticas realizadas em cidades que atraem turistas por oferecerem uma cena urbana com diferentes espaços e experiências. Neste contexto, o  objetivo desta pesquisa foi identificar e analisar quais são as imagens de São Paulo propagadas por órgãos de turismo e como estão distribuídas espacialmente no espaço urbano. A pesquisa ganhou consistência teórica-metodológica a partir de um olhar pela chamada "virada das mobilidades", ao considerar as mobilidades imaginativas como propagadoras  de discursos. A metodologia é de abordagem qualitativa e com caráter descritivo-exploratório. Para tanto, foram analisados como a revisão do Plano Diretor Estratégico de 2023 aborda o turismo e as imagens das nove versões do PLATUM (Plano de Turismo Municipal), “SP: Cidade do Mundo” (2017), além do banco de imagens da SETUR (Secretaria de Turismo e Viagens) e do MTUR (Ministério do Turismo). Após analisar a espacialização e em quais categorias as 155 imagens se enquadram, foi constatado que a Avenida Paulista segue sendo o grande ícone de São Paulo, apesar de haver alguma diversidade no imaginário produzido ao longo do anos e na dispersão espacial. Este tipo de trabalho ajuda a entender como as políticas urbanas e turismo participam da produção espacial do turismo, a começar pela projeção de imagens que antecipam e estimulam desejos de experiências in loco.
Statement on the confirmatory data following the Article 12 MRL review for triclopyr
Authors:   European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)
Published: December 2024

Abstract
In accordance with Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, EFSA received a mandate from the European Commission to issue a scientific statement concerning the confirmatory data following the review of the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) under Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for triclopyr. Although the required application in support to the confirmatory data following the MRL review was not submitted within deadline, some information identified as unavailable in the MRL review has been made available to EFSA in the context of other applications submitted under different regulatory processes. Based on the assessment of the available data, EFSA concluded that the tentative MRL for apples, pears and peaches is confirmed. The tentative MRLs for grapefruits, oranges, lemons, mandarins, apricots and rice are not fully supported by data. Risk manager may consider the alternative MRL of 0.07 mg/kg for oranges, lemons, mandarins and the lowering to the specific limit of quantification (LOQ) for grapefruits, apricots and rice. An update of the consumer risk assessment for triclopyr was performed and it did not indicate any potential consumer health risks. The statement was circulated to Member States for consultation via a written procedure before finalisation.

Authors: Jiménez‐Munoz Luis , Papaioannou Aristea , Anyfanti Alexandra , Corredig Milena , Theodoridis Georgios , Virgiliou Christina
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The objective of this study, PLASTOGEST, was to evaluate the risk associated with oligomers and other potentially harmful chemical compounds when consumed by humans through food. This research systematically reviewed existing literature and applies untargeted analysis to assess the fate of non‐intentionally added substances (NIAS) and intentionally added substances (IAS) during in vitro digestion. Polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate oligomers and simulation of real food conditions were used to evaluate migration and how these oligomers behave during in vitro digestion. This approach, involving enzymes and digestive juices, measured bioavailable levels of these substances in humans. The analytical work, including sample preparation was performed at Aarhus University, whilst extraction and untargeted analysis using ultra‐high performance liquid chromatography trap ion mobility spectroscopy time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC‐TIMS/TOF‐MS), were performed at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The EUFORA fellow gained insights into advanced analytical techniques and risk assessment, following specific EFSA guidelines. The study aimed to enhance our understanding on how plastic packaging materials might affect human health, potentially leading to more rigorous risk assessment frameworks.
Exploring frameworks for quantitative risk assessment of antimicrobial resistance along the food chain
Authors: Mandel Tiina , Iulietto Maria Francesca , Reinik Mari , Condoleo Roberto
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Campylobacter is one of the most reported causes of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. Birds are the predominant reservoirs for thermotolerant Campylobacter, therefore consumption of contaminated and undercooked poultry products represents one of the major transmission routes for campylobacteriosis. In addition to foodborne diseases, another relevant public challenge is the silent pandemic of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), impacting also the food chain. The occurrence of antimicrobial‐resistant Campylobacter in broiler meat poses a significant threat to public health. In this context, quantitative microbiological risk assessment (QMRA) might support policy‐makers in addressing these challenges. Hence, this project aimed to describe the current status of knowledge on occurrence of AMR Campylobacter at a global scale, with focus in estimating the prevalence of fluoroquinolone‐resistant Campylobacter isolated from broiler meat at retail level. Following the drafting of a dedicated protocol, a systematic literature review and meta‐analysis were conducted. Based on the extracted data, after the determination of the proportion of AMR isolates, the proportions were compared by Campylobacter species, geographical regions, processing step and sampling matrices. Meta‐analysis allowed the estimation of the pooled prevalences of resistant isolates by regions and species, combining the findings from different independent studies in a comparable way. In terms of future perspectives, the outcome of this project will support future risk assessment and provide valuable inputs for estimating consumer exposure to AMR Campylobacter via broiler meat consumption. In conclusion, this report will provide a general overview of activities, preliminary results and research performed during the EU‐FORA fellowship programme (2023/2024).

Authors: V.M. Abirami  , S. Karunanidhi
Published: December 2024

Well-being is an important aspect in the life of an adolescent and are associated with various psycho-social factors. Majority of the studies focus on the psychological factors influencing well-being, however the individual and social factors that can influence well-being are often overlooked. The objective of this study is to find out the influence of individual and social factors on the well-being of adolescents from low socio-economic background. An embedded mixed-method research design was used. The data were collected from 393 adolescents in the age group of 12 to 17 years using convenience sampling technique. The individual and social variables included are age, gender, class, medium of study, interest in study, expectation of love and care and like/dislike of school. The EPOCH adolescent well-being scale (Kern et al., 2016) was used to assess well-being. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, percentage analysis, independent sample t- test, regression analysis and qualitative analysis. A significant difference was found in all the selected variables on well-being except expectation of love and care. Further, class, medium of education, interest to study and liking/disliking school were found to be significant predictors of well-being. In addition, the qualitative analysis revealed various themes related to disinterest in studies and liking/disliking of school. The present study found out the crucial role of individual and social factors in improving or decreasing the well-being of adolescents.

Hindsight is 2020: Lessons Learned from the COVID-19 Pandemic on Death, Dying, and Grief
Authors: Booker Reanne
Published: December 2024

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has led to significant changes not only in the way we live, but also in the way we die. Visitor restrictions mean that patients are dying alone, and that families and loved ones are often unable to say goodbye or visit in the days and hours preceding death. Further, limitations on various cultural norms and rituals following death, such as the ability to hold funerals or wakes, are also influencing the experience of death and dying. The impact of these changes on bereavement and grief remains unknown, but it has been speculated that such changes may lead to adverse bereavement and grief experiences. There is an urgent need to establish a national grief strategy to ensure sufficient resources and supports for people experiencing the loss of a loved one, be it from coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) or another cause, during and beyond the pandemic.

To Resist or Not to Resist? That is the Dangerous Situation: A Look at Antimicrobial Stewardship in Pediatric Care in North America
Authors: Khafagy Rana
Published: December 2024

This article will explore the impact of antibiotic resistance on pediatric care in North America, specifically focusing on how it negatively affects patient health outcomes. The mitigation of this issue in everyday health practice will be outlined. Antibiotics are one of the most commonly prescribed medications in children, with a significant number of them being used inappropriately. Considering the growing global threat of antibiotic resistant superbugs, it is vital to develop strategies and programs for decreasing antibiotic misuse and combating antibiotic resistance. Antimicrobial stewardship is one such method of reducing antibiotic resistance and has already shown evidence of improving patient outcomes, such as decreasing risk of future invasive infections, decreasing hospitalization and decreasing mortality. With more awareness to this dangerous issue, we are beginning to see the development and implementation of a variety of practices aimed at using antibiotics judiciously in pediatric patients across North America. This article will address the severity of the issue of antibiotic resistance in pediatric care in North America and highlight how this can be managed using antimicrobial stewardship principles that are practical, evidence-based and easily implementable in healthcare practices. Although there is still much work to be done, small improvements in resistance rates show that we are moving in the right direction.

Untuk mengatasi masalah yang dihadapi oleh Kelompok Nelayan ‘Obor Kehidupan' di Dusun Cemare, Desa Lembar Selatan, Kecamatan Lembar, Kabupaten Lombok Barat terkait penggunaan baterai (accu) sebagai sumber tenaga listrik yang mensuplai lampu penerangan perahu untuk menerangi perahu dan aktivitas melaut di malam hari, solusi yang ditawarkan adalah dengan menggunakan catu daya listrik sel surya (Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Surya skala kecil). Penggunaan catu daya listrik sel surya memiliki kelebihan dibanding penggunaan baterai (accu) sebagai sumber tenaga listrik. Penggunaan catu daya listrik sel surya hanya memerlukan sinar matahari untuk proses pengisian sehingga tidak perlu dicabut dari instalasi lampu penerangan perahu nelayan. Tidak adanya proses mencabut, memindahkan dan memasang yang dilakukan berulang kali akan menghasilkan dua keuntungan bagi kelompok nelayan tersebut. Pertama, tidak menambah beban kerja sehingga menguntungkan secara teknis bagi kelompok nelayan. Kedua, tidak menyebabkan baterai yang ada di dalam catu daya listrik sel surya cepat rusak sehingga menguntungkan secara ekonomis bagi kelompok nelayan tersebut.
Tim pelaksana pengabdian kepada masyarakat yang beranggotakan staf pengajar dan mahasiswa Jurusan Teknik Elektro Fakultas Teknik Universitas Mataram telah melaksanakan kegiatan berupa pembelian alat dan bahan yang diperlukan, perakitan dan penyuluhan cara penggunaan catu daya listrik sel surya kepada pengurus dan anggota Kelompok Nelayan ‘Obor Kehidupan' di Dusun Cemare. Berdasarkan hasil evaluasi diperoleh hasil bahwa pengurus dan anggota kelompok nelayan tersebut telah dapat menggunakan catu daya listrik sel surya dengan baik.

Pengabdian kepada masyarakat yang berjudul Pelatihan Sosialisasi Sertifikasi Halal Produk UMKM Masyarakat Pesisir Desa Gili Gede Indah Sokotong Lombok Barat dilaksanakan di Desa Desa Gili Gede Indah, Kecamatan Sekotong Kabupaten Lombok Barat. Urgensi dari pengabdian ini adalah masalah legalitas produk dalam menunjang pemasaran produk lokal terutama olahan hasil laut yang berupa olahan hasil laut berupa pangan dan non pangan. Produk pangan antara lain olahan bahari berupa abon tongkol, kerupuk gurita dan keripik kerang. Namun kesemua produk tidak diupayakan maksimal karena belum memiliki ijin produksi dan legalitas halal. Gili Gede Indah menjadi salah satu destinasi unggulan jajaran kawasan Gili di pesisir selatan Lombok yang memiliki potensi hasil laut dan sebagai daerah tujuan wisatawan. Olahan hasil laut dapat menjadi ciri khas dan punya nilai jual tinggi kepada wisatawan. Oleh karenanya dari kegiatan pengabdian ini penting dilakukan mengingat produk olahan hasil laut belum ada standarisasi dan legalitas produk yang aman dikonsumsi dan dapat dipercaya konsumen. Metode pelaksanaan dimulai dengan FGD (Focus Grup Discussion) untuk mengidentifikasi permasalahan. Kegiatan selanjutnya yaitu pelatihan pengajuan sertifikasi halal produk olahan hasil laut dengan sasaran pengabdian yaitu perempuan pesisir di Kawasan Gili Gede Indah. Tim pengabdian yang dipandu oleh pendamping halal provinsi mengawal produk UMKM hingga terbit sertifikat halal

Peristiwa gempa Lombok pada bulan Juli 2018 menimbulkan dampak terbesar pada sektor permukiman yaitu sebesar 72,43%. Hal ini menyadarkan kita semua bahwa dalam membangun rumah haruslah mengikuti kaidah pembangunan rumah tahan gempa. Sebagian besar masyarakat khususnya yang berada di Desa Sesait dalam membangun rumah untuk tempat tinggalnya maupun fasilitas umum masih belum sepenuhnya mengikuti kaidah rumah tahan gempa. Hal ini disebabkan karena kurangnya informasi khususnya kepada para tukang bangunan tentang bagaimana tata cara membangun rumah yang lebih tahan terhadap bahaya gempa. Disisi lain, potensi tanaman bambu di Kecamatan Kayangan cukup melimpah namun pemanfaatannya belum optimal khususnya untuk membuat rumah yang aman dari gempa bumi. Tujuan dari sosialisasi ini adalah memberikan pengetahuan kepada masyarakat Desa Sesait dan sekitarnya tentang pembangunan rumah dari pasangan batu dengan struktur beton bertulang dan rumah bambu plester yang tahan gempa. Metode kegiatan yang dilaksanakan dikemas dalam bentuk demo dan sosialisasi. Demo dilakukan untuk menjelaskan secara langsung bagaimana cara membuat rumah dari pasangan batu dengan struktur beton bertulang dan rumah bambu plester yang tahan gempa. Adapun kegiatan sosialisasi ini dibagi menjadi beberapa tahap yaitu persiapan sosialisasi, pembuatan materi dan gambar-gambar desain sebagai alat bantu sosialisasi, koordinasi dengan Kepala Desa dan menentukan jadwal dan lokasi/tempat sosialisasi. Dari hasil sosialisasi terlihat bahwa masyarakat desa Sesait telah mendapatkan informasi dan pengetahuan tentang bangunan sederhana tahan gempa dari beton bertulang dan bambu plester. Dengan pengetahuan yang dimiliki diharapkan dapat ditularkan kepada keluarga dekat dan masyarakat disekitarnya.

This community service aims to improve the capacity of shallot farmers in Galung Village, Lombok, Polewali Mandar, in implementing True Shallot Seed (TSS) technology as an effort to increase shallot (Allium cepa L.) production. The use of TSS is an innovation that can increase harvest yields and reduce the risk of disease spread, which is often carried by conventional bulbs. The activity method includes focus group discussions (FGD) to understand participant readiness, preparation of extension materials, and implementation of extension that includes an introduction to the TSS method and comparison with traditional cultivation techniques. Evaluation was carried out with a pre-test and post-test to assess the increase in participant understanding. The evaluation results showed an increase in the average score from 41.63 in the pre-test to 76.08 in the post-test, reflecting an increase in understanding of 82.75%. Further analysis showed that age and farming experience factors did not significantly affect the increase in participant understanding. In conclusion, this program has succeeded in increasing farmer knowledge in TSS-based shallot cultivation techniques, which have the potential to support the sustainability of shallot production and strengthen farmers' economic resilience in the future. It is hoped that the TSS method can be applied more widely through the demonstration plot system to increase farmer confidence in adopting this technology
