Respondent Characteristics and Dietary Intake Data Collected Using Web-Based and Traditional Nutrition Surveillance Approaches: Comparison and Usability Study (Preprint)
Authors: Timon Claire M , Walton Janette , Flynn Albert , Gibney Eileen R
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND

There are many constraints to conducting national food consumption surveys for national nutrition surveillance, including cost, time, and participant burden. Validated web-based dietary assessment technologies offer a potential solution to many of these constraints.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to investigate the feasibility of using a previously validated, web-based, 24-hour recall dietary assessment tool (Foodbook24) for nutrition surveillance by comparing the demographic characteristics and the quality of dietary intake data collected from a web-based cohort of participants in Ireland to those collected from the most recent Irish National Adult Nutrition Survey (NANS).

METHODS

Irish adult participants (aged ≥18 years) were recruited to use Foodbook24 (a web-based tool) between March and October 2016. Demographic and dietary intake (assessed by means of 2 nonconsecutive, self-administered, 24-hour recalls) data were collected using Foodbook24. Following the completion of the study, the dietary intake data collected from the web-based study were statistically weighted to represent the age-gender distribution of intakes reported in the NANS (2008-2010) to facilitate the controlled comparison of intake data. The demographic characteristics of the survey respondents were investigated using descriptive statistics. The controlled comparison of weighted mean daily nutrient intake data collected from the Foodbook24 web-based study (329 plausible reporters of a total of 545 reporters) and the mean daily nutrient intake data collected from the NANS (1051 plausible reporters from 1500 reporters) was completed using the Wilcoxon–Mann-Whitney U test in Creme Nutrition software.

RESULTS

Differences between the demographic characteristics of the survey participants across the 2 surveys were observed. Notable differences included a lower proportion of adults aged ≥65 years and a higher proportion of females who participated in the web-based Foodbook24 study relative to the NANS study (P<.001). Similar ranges of mean daily intake for the majority of nutrients and food groups were observed (eg, energy [kilocalorie per day] and carbohydrate [gram per day]), although significant differences for some nutrients (eg, riboflavin [mg/10 MJ], P<.001 and vitamin B12 [µg/10 MJ], P<.001) and food groups were identified. A high proportion of participants (200/425, 47.1%) reported a willingness to continue using Foodbook24 for an additional 6 months.

CONCLUSIONS

These findings suggest that by using targeted recruitment strategies in the future to ensure the recruitment of a more representative sample, there is potential for web-based methodologies such as Foodbook24 to be used for nutrition surveillance efforts in Ireland.
Developing a Vaccine Informatics to Identify Message Frames Used in Vaccine Debates on Social Media: Combining Automatic Tweet Classification and Clustering Machine-Learning Algorithms with Qualitative Content Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Argyris Young , Monu Kafui , Tan Pang-Ning , Aarts Colton , Jiang Fan , Wiseley Kaleigh
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND

Exposure to anti-vaccine content on social media has been associated with delays and refusals of vaccinations, while pro-vaccine campaigns devised to disseminate the preventive benefits of vaccines have not succeeded in increasing vaccine uptake rates. Reasons remain unknown why anti-vaccine messaging hampers uptake while pro-vaccine campaigns do not improve it.

OBJECTIVE

We aim to identify reasons for the disparate effectiveness of anti- versus pro-vaccine social media content on vaccine delivery rates. In so doing, we apply the perspectives of message framing used in interpersonal health communication to explain why individuals refuse to adopt preventive behaviors. Specifically, we compare (1) the diversity, coherence, and distinctiveness of topics discussed by pro- and anti-vaccine communities and (2) message frames used to portray vaccines as a public health accomplishment or harmful agents.

METHODS

We developed a multimethod that combines the collection of a large amount of data from Twitter (~40,000 tweets), an automatic tweet classification algorithm, the K-means clustering algorithm, and a qualitative content analysis.

RESULTS

Our results show a larger number of topics (20 versus 17 clusters), greater coherence of topics (0.98 vs. 0.97) and distinctiveness of topics (1.22 vs. 1.31) among anti-vaccinists in comparison to pro-vaccinists. In addition, while anti-vaccinists use all four message frames known to make narratives persuasive and influential, pro-vaccinists neglect the problem statement.

CONCLUSIONS

Based on our results, we attribute the diversity, coherence, and distinctiveness of topics discussed among anti-vaccinists to their higher engagement, and we ascribe the influence of vaccine debate on uptake rates to the comprehensiveness of the message frames. These results show the urgency of developing value propositions for vaccines to counteract the negative impact of anti-vaccine content on the uptake rates.

CLINICALTRIAL

This study was determined to be a non-human subject study by Michigan State University’s Institutional Review Board (#STUDY00004514).
Efficacy of metal artifact reduction algorithm of cone-beam computed tomography for detection of fenestration and dehiscence around dental implants (Preprint)

UNSTRUCTURED

This study aimed to assess the efficacy of metal artifact reduction (MAR) algorithm of two cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) systems for detection of peri-implant fenestration and dehiscence.
Thirty-six titanium implants were placed in bone blocks of bovine ribs. Fenestration and dehiscence were created in the buccal bone around implants using a round bur. The bone blocks were then mounted in a wax rim to simulate the mandible. CBCT images were obtained using Cranex 3D and ProMax 3D CBCT systems with and without MAR algorithm before and after creation of defects. Two experienced radiologists observed the images twice with a 2-week interval. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 22.The Kappa coefficient of agreement, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy of different imaging modalities were calculated and analyzed.
According to the kappa statistics, the intra- and inter-observer agreements were higher for images without the MAR algorithm compared with those with the MAR algorithm. In both CBCT systems, use of MAR algorithm decreased the area under the ROC curve and subsequently the diagnostic accuracy for detection of fenestration and dehiscence. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of both CBCT systems were higher in absence of the MAR algorithm. The specificity of ProMax 3D for detection of fenestration was equal with/without the MAR algorithm.
Although CBCT is suitable for detection of peri-implant defects, application of the MAR algorithm does not enhance the detection of peri-implant fenestration and dehiscence.

UNSTRUCTURED

Big data and its approaches are generally helpful for healthcare and biomedical sectors for predicting the disease. For trivial symptoms, the difficulty is to meet the doctors at any time in the hospital. Thus, big data provides essential data regarding the diseases on the basis of the patient’s symptoms. For several medical organizations, disease prediction is important for making the best feasible health care decisions. Conversely, the conventional medical care model offers input as structured that requires more accurate and consistent prediction. This paper is planned to develop the multi-disease prediction using the improvised deep learning concept. Here, the different datasets pertain to “Diabetes, Hepatitis, lung cancer, liver tumor, heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease”, from the benchmark UCI repository is gathered for conducting the experiment. The proposed model involves three phases (a) Data normalization (b) Weighted normalized feature extraction, and (c) prediction. Initially, the dataset is normalized in order to make the attribute's range at a certain level. Further, weighted feature extraction is performed, in which a weight function is multiplied with each attribute value for making large scale deviation. Here, the weight function is optimized using the combination of two meta-heuristic algorithms termed as Jaya Algorithm-based Multi-Verse Optimization algorithm (JA-MVO). The optimally extracted features are subjected to the hybrid deep learning algorithms like “Deep Belief Network (DBN) and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN)”. As a modification to hybrid deep learning architecture, the weight of both DBN and RNN is optimized using the same hybrid optimization algorithm. Further, the comparative evaluation of the proposed prediction over the existing models certifies its effectiveness through various performance measures.

Background and objectives

The histopathologic classification for ANCA-associated GN distinguishes four classes on the basis of patterns of injury. In the original validation study, these classes were ordered by severity of kidney function loss as follows: focal, crescentic, mixed, and sclerotic. Subsequent validation studies disagreed on outcomes in the crescentic and mixed classes. This study, driven by the original investigators, provides several analyses in order to determine the current position of the histopathologic classification of ANCA-associated GN.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

A validation study was performed with newly collected data from 145 patients from ten centers worldwide, including an analysis of interobserver agreement on the histopathologic evaluation of the kidney biopsies. This study also included a meta-analysis on previous validation studies and a validation of the recently proposed ANCA kidney risk score.

Results

The validation study showed that kidney failure at 10-year follow-up was significantly different between the histopathologic classes (P<0.001). Kidney failure at 10-year follow-up was 14% in the crescentic class versus 20% in the mixed class (P=0.98). In the meta-analysis, no significant difference in kidney failure was also observed when crescentic class was compared with mixed class (relative risk, 1.15; 95% confidence interval, 0.94 to 1.41). When we applied the ANCA kidney risk score to our cohort, kidney survival at 3 years was 100%, 96%, and 77% in the low-, medium-, and high-risk groups, respectively (P<0.001). These survival percentages are higher compared with the percentages in the original study.

Conclusions

The crescentic and mixed classes seem to have a similar prognosis, also after adjusting for differences in patient populations, treatment, and interobserver agreement. However, at this stage, we are not inclined to merge the crescentic and mixed classes because the reported confidence intervals do not exclude important differences in prognosis and because an important histopathologic distinction would be lost.
An Empirical Study of China-Australia Bilateral Trade Potential Based on Gravity Model
Authors: Chen Jun , Zhao Chenyang , Wang Xinyi , Liu Kaikai
Published: July 2020

Based on the use of trade integration index and gravity model, this paper uses the bilateral goods trade data between China and Australia from 2000 to 2019 to analyze the trade status, trade complementarity and trade potential between China and Australia. The results of the study show that the trade scale, trade complementarity and trade potential between China and Australia are constantly expanding. However, from the perspective of trade balance, China has always been in the position of a deficit country, and the deficit is getting larger and larger, especially in terms of primary products. Judging from the trade integration index, China’s trade integration with Australia generally shows an upward trend, indicating that the trade dependence between China and Australia is gradually increasing. Judging from the results of the trade potential analysis, the trade potential between the two countries has not been fully realized, and there is still much room for improvement in bilateral trade relations.
ANALISIS YURIDIS KEWENANGAN BUMN UNTUK MELAKUKAN MONOPOLI DAN ATAU PEMUSATAN KEGIATAN DALAM PERSPEKTIF KEPASTIAN HUKUM DAN KESEJAHTERAAN
Authors: Salsabila Enggi Syefira
Published: July 2020

Pemerintah dalam perannya meningkatkan perekonomian Negara harus dikuti oleh campur tangan semua pihak. Salah satunya yaitu campur tangan BUMN yang merupakan perusahaan yang memiliki peran besar dalam memberikan sumber pendapatan Negara.  Oleh karena itu BUMN memiliki kewenangan berupa monopoli dan pemusatan kegiatan terhadap suatu kegiatan usaha. Walaupun secara aturan yang ada bahwa kegiatan monopoli dan pemustaan kegiatan boleh dilakukan asalkan diperoleh dengan persaingan usaha yang sehat tetapi BUMN boleh melakukan monopoli dan pemustaan kegiatan tanpa harus melakukan sistem persaingan. Hal itu dapat dilakukan dengan adanya amanat Undang-undang. Adanya hak istimewa yang dimiliki BUMN tersebut, tercantum dalam pasal 51 Undang-undang no 5 tahun 1999 tentang larangan praktik monopoli dan persaingan usaha tidak sehat. Pasal 51 terbentuk dengan berlandaskan pasal 33 UUD 1945, dimana hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan hajat hidup orang banyak harus dikuasai oleh Negara. Penafsiran mengenai hak istimewa yang dimiliki BUMN ini kemudian ditafsirkan oleh beberapa pihak yaitu diantaranya pihak Komisi Pengawasan Persaigan Usaha (KPPU) dan Mahkamah Konstitusi (MK). Karena jika ditinjau kembali maksut dari isi pasal 51 masih memiliki arti yang sangat luas jika merujuk pada pengertian “penguasaan Negara” dan “menguasai hajat hidup orang banyak
PENAHANAN TERSANGKA TINDAK PIDANA TERORISME DALAM PERSPEKTIF HAK ASASI MANUSIA
Authors: Wulandari Siti
Published: July 2020

Disahkannya Undang-Undang Nomor 5 Tahun 2018 Tentang Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Terorisme, menimbulkan pro kontra, salah satunya terkait penambahan masa penahanan di tingkat penyidikan yang awalnya 6 bulan menjadi 9 bulan sebagaimana dalam Pasal 25 ayat (2), (3) dan (4). Hal tersebut sangat berlawanan dengan KUHAP Pasal 24 ayat (1) dan (2) bahwa untuk kepentingan penyidikan dilakukan penahanan selama 20 hari, dan diperpanjang 40 hari. Adanya penambahan masa penahanan di tingkat penyidikan telah menciderai hak hukum dan peradilan tersangka dan juga menciderai asas-asas peradilan pidana yaitu asas persamaan di muka hukum, asas praduga tak bersalah dan asas peradilan cepat, sederhana dan biaya ringan.Tujuan dilakukannya penelitian ini, untuk mengetahui dasar penambahan waktu penahanan di tingkat penyidikan dan untuk mengetahui konsepsi penambahan di tingkat penyidikan yang tidak melanggar hak asasi tersangka. Metode penelitian yang penulis gunakan yaitu pendekatan yuridis normatif, dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui studi kepustakaan.Undang-Undang Nomor 5 Tahun 2018 disahkan hanya untuk melindungi korban dan kepentingan penyidik saja, tetapi tidak dengan tersangka. Selama 2014-2015 terdapat 554 rangkaian kekerasan dan pelanggaran HAM yang dilakukan oleh Polri dalam melakukan penyidikan. Padahal dalam Keputusan Kapolri No. Pol. Skep/1205/IX/ 2000, Peraturan Kapolri Nomor 8 Tahun 2009, ICCPR, Undang-Undang Hak Asasi Manusia mengatur dengan jelas bahwa tidak boleh melakukan kekerasan dalam proses penyidikan. Tindak pidana terorisme tidak semua termasuk extra ordinary crime, tetapi juga ada yang serious crime. Karena ketika dikatakan sebagai extra ordinary crime ada unsur yang tidak terpenuhi. Saran dengan adanya penelitian ini, pemerintah lebih memperhatikan lagi Undang-Undang Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Terorisme dan untuk aparat penegak hukum dalam melalukan penyidikan lebih mengutamakan hak asasi manusia. Perlu adanya pedoman khusus untuk aparat penegak hukum terkait tindak pidana terorisme dan monitoring
Leaders and Managers Styles towards Employee Centricity: A Study of Hospitality Industry in United Arab Emirates
Authors: Matira Kristelle Marjori , Awolusi Olawumi Dele
Published: July 2020

Different styles of leadership have emerged within different studies and have been proven in different ways throughout the years. Aim of this study was to identify the effect of leadership styles towards employee centricity within the Hospitality Industry in UAE. Study’s conceptualization was derived from Burns (1978) theory on circulating the influences, inspirations, motivations, encouragements and consideration where behaviors such empathy, optimism, enthusiasm and openness are nurtured. Multiple regression analysis was applied to understand the influence of the analytical variables and target variable (employee centricity). Total 172 responses from different hotels were collected using survey questionnaires. Mixed method then was used to validate attributes from different parties to provide deeper insights of the given problem. Findings, based on the research data and as validated by the regression results, therefore revealed that employees, centricity greatly influenced the level of the employee satisfaction and motivation within the industry of study. Lack of trust, respect, engagement and motivation soars the big picture. Due to different aspect of responsibilities leaders and managers are entitled with, not every employee is given the proper attention and leniency over their issues. Research concluded that managers and leaders are great influence to employees which builds employee centricity as a whole. Consequently, employee centricity has to consider a bigger factor reclined from different characteristics of a manager’s responsibilities, relationship and provisions. This is found out to incorporate factors, like purpose and autonomy, rewards, recognition, development and growth that may encourage employees to work effectively and efficiently.
Use of factory calibrated real-time continuous glucose monitoring improves time in target and HbA1c in a multi-ethnic cohort of adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes: the MILLENNIAL Study

Published: July 2020

Objective: International
type 1 diabetes registries have shown that HbA1c levels are highest in young
people with type 1 diabetes, however improving their glycaemic control remains
a challenge. We propose that use of factory-calibrated
Dexcom G6 CGM system would improve glycaemic control in this cohort.

Research Design and
Methods: We
conducted a randomized crossover trial in young people with type 1 diabetes (16
– 24 years old), comparing the Dexcom G6 CGM system and self-monitoring of
blood glucose (SMBG). Participants were assigned to the interventions in random
order during two 8-week study periods. During SMBG, blinded CGM was worn by
each participant for 10 days at the start, week-4
and week-7 of the control period. HbA1c measurements were drawn after
enrolment, before and after each treatment period. The primary outcome was time
in range 70–180mg/dl.

Results: Time in
range was significantly higher during CGM compared to control [35.7±13.5% vs. 24.6±9.3%,
mean difference 11.1% (95% CI 7.0 to 15.2, p<0.001)]. CGM use reduced mean
sensor glucose [219.7±37.6mg/dl vs. 251.9±36.3mg/dl, mean difference -32.2mg/dl
(95% CI -44.5 to -20.0, p<0.001)] and time above range [61.7±15.1% vs.
73.6±10.4%, mean difference 11.9% (95% CI -16.4 to -7.4, p<0.001)]. HbA1c
level was reduced by 0.76% (95% CI -1.1 to -0.4) [-8.5mmol/mol (95% CI -12.4 to
-4.6, p<0.001)]. Times spent below
range (<70mg/dl and <54mg/dl) were low and comparable during both study periods.
Sensor wear was 84% during the CGM period.

Conclusion: CGM use in
young people with type 1 diabetes improves time in target and HbA1c levels
compared to SMBG.

OBJECTIVE To
examine the association of erythrocyte n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)
biomarkers with incident type 2 diabetes and explore the potential role of gut
microbiota in the association.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND
METHODS We evaluated 2,731
participants without type 2 diabetes recruited between 2008-2013 in the
Guangzhou Nutrition and Health Study, China. Type 2 diabetes cases were identified with
clinical
and biochemical information collected at follow-up visits. Using stool samples
collected during the follow-up in the subset (n=1,591), 16S rRNA profiling
was conducted. Using multivariable-adjusted Poisson or linear regression, we examined associations of
erythrocyte n-6 PUFA biomarkers with incident type 2 diabetes, and diversity
and composition of gut microbiota.

RESULTS Over 6.2 years of follow-up, 276 type 2 diabetes cases were
identified (risk=0.10). Higher levels of erythrocyte γ-linolenic acid (GLA), but not linoleic or arachidonic acid,
were associated with higher type 2 diabetes incidence. Comparing the top to the
bottom quartile groups of GLA levels, relative risk was
1.72 (95% confidence intervals: 1.21, 2.44) adjusted for potential confounders.
Baseline GLA was inversely associated with gut microbial richness and diversity
(α-diversity, both p<0.05) during follow-up, and significantly
associated with microbiota β-diversity (p=0.002). α-diversity acted as a
potential mediator in the association between GLA and type 2 diabetes (p<0.05).
Seven genera (Butyrivibrio, Blautia, Oscillospira,
Odoribacter, S24-7 other, Rikenellaceae other, and Clostridiales
other) were enriched in quartile 1 of GLA, and in participants without type
2 diabetes.

CONCLUSIONS Relative
concentrations of erythrocyte GLA were positively associated with
incident type 2 diabetes in a Chinese population and also with gut microbial
profiles. These results highlight that gut microbiota may play an important
role linking n-6 PUFA metabolism and type 2 diabetes etiology.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARENTS, PEER, LECTURER ATTACHMENT AND ISLAMIC RESILIENCY AMONG UNIVERSITY PUTRA MALAYSIA STUDENTS
Authors: HAMSAN Hannina HALIMATUSAADIAH
Published: July 2020

The main purpose of this study is to determine  the relationship  between parents, peer, lecturer attachment and resiliency among UPM students. Three factors which are parents, peer and lecturer attachment have been studied about their relationship with resiliency. A total of 397 undergraduates students in UPM were selected through convenience sampling as respondents in this study. Inventory of Parents and Peer Attachment  (Armsden  and  Greenberg,  1987)  was  used  to  measure  the  level  of parents  and  peer  attachment,  followed  by Inventory  of Teacher-Student Relationships (Murray and Zvoch, 2011) to measure the level of lecturer attachment and Adolescent  Resilience  Scale (Oshio,  Kaneko,  Nagamine  & Nakaya,  2003)  to assess the level of students’ resiliency. The results of this study show that most of the respondents perceived moderate level of resiliency (M = 78.18; SD = 7.697), peer attachment (M = 101.27; SD = 13.283) and lecturer attachment (M = 45.46; SD =9.096), and high level of parents attachment (M = 103.22; SD = 11.495). The findings revealed  that  there  was  significant  relationship  between  parents  attachment  (r  =0.434; p = 0.000), peer attachment (r = 0.455; p = 0.000), lecturer attachment (r =0.495; p = 0.000) and resiliency. The result from the study shows that the importance of improving the level of resiliency among the students in university is increasing the attachment  to students’  parents,  peer,  and lecturer  in order  to become  the good student in the life.

Problems regarding the status of children born outside of legal marital relations are still interesting discussions. In the community the status of children is often questioned, because not a few children are born without marriage. So from this this study will focus on the status of illegitimate children in Islamic law and in the Civil Code. The research method used is a normative juridical research method based on secondary data, namely primary legal material, secondary legal material and tertiary legal material. This research shows that in Islamic law and Civil Code the legitimate denial of children can result in the breakup of marriage making the child an illegitimate child and not having an inheritance relationship with his parents, but his mother according to Islamic law. If the child of adultery is associated with obligations and responsibilities regarding survival, then the parents or fathers are still charged with the obligation to provide a living. As the cost of living and the cost of their education as needed or according to their abilities, because he is the biological father of the child. If the status of the adultery child is associated with inheritance according to BW, then he does not inherit at all to the two tunya people. but if it is associated with Islamic inheritance, then he inherits only his mother and his mother's family.

Ketiadaan inovasi di dalam pengembangan kepariwisataan, khususnya untuk teknologi dan rekayasa daya tarik kunjungan telah membuat profil dan karakteristik usaha industri pariwisata ini, termasuk di Sumatera Barat masih mengalami stagnasi dan hambatan kemajuan. Keberadaan potensi sumberdaya wisata alam pantai yang ada, perlu diberi suatu daya tarik tersendiri agar dapat meningkatkan jumlah kunjungan, di antaranya mengembangkan konsep pariwisata terpadu pendidikan dengan membangun suatu daya tarik buatan yang dapat memberikan makna tujuan ganda “berwisata dan belajar” pada daerah tujuan wisata (DTW) yang ada. Mendirikan suatu taman tekno kincir angin (windmill techno park) sebagai suguhan bentuk wisata terpadu pendidikan (vokasi & teknologi) khususnya bagi kalangan siswa/mahasiswa adalah sebuah jawaban, yang perlu pula diberikan suatu imbuhan dekoratif keindahan taman melalui pembangunan prasarana dan sarana fisis pendukung dan peran serta masyarakat sekitar obyek wisata yang bersifat mengoptimalkan tampilan daya tarik dan kepuasan bagi pengunjung. Pada gilirannya hal ini akan menimbulkan motivasi kedatangan & membawa pada peningkatan jumlah kunjungan sekaligus memberikan dampak ekonomi (multiplier effect) segi pendapatan dan/atau tenaga kerja terhadap masyarakat di sekitar lokasi wisata, khususnya di negari Pantai Panjang Nagari Ketaping Kecamatan Batang Anai Kabupaten Padang Pariaman

Kelompok Pembudidayaan Ikan ( Pok Da Kan) Ulam Lumintu secara resmi dibentuk pada tanggal 01 Januari 2016. Usaha Budidaya ikan lele antara lain : Pembibitan, pembesaran Lele dan sudah mengarah ke pengolahan makanan. PokDaKan Ulam Lumintu didirikan dari beberapa orang yang tinggal di kalurahan Ngadirejo yang mempunyai usaha pembesaran ikan lele. Melihat peluang yang besar mengenai pembesaran ikan lele, karena kebutuhan ikan lele semakin lama semakin meningkat.Kegiatan usaha budidaya ikan lele di kelurahan Ngadirejo mengalami kesulitan untuk berkembang karena kendala harga pakan ikan melambung tinggi sementara harga jual lele konsumsi sangat rendah ditingkat peternak lele. Selain itu ketersediaan benih ikan lele unggulan yang bersetifikat juga masih sangat terbatas di kabupaten Sukoharjo. Satu sisi kebutuhan ikan lele di pasaran sangat tinggi. Solusi hasil diskusi tim Program Kemitraan Masyarakat dengan Pok daKan “Ulam Lumintu” adalah bagaimana menyiasati mahalnya pakan dengan membuat ramuan pakan lele plus sendiri, yaitu pakan lele berbentuk granul pellet dengan tambahan prebiotic untuk tambahan suplemen pakan lele dengan sentuhan teknologi dengan sistem mix hot rotary. Teknologi tersebut sangat tepat untuk PokDaKan Ulam Lumintu karena mampu menanggulangi permasalahan yang dihadapi.

Tingginya tingkat penjualan sepeda motor di Indonesia masih memberikan banyak permasalahan bagi pelaku bisnis otomotif, dalam hal ini ketersediaan bengkel servis yang mumpuni dengan perkembangan teknologi otomotif saat ini. Banyak di temui bengkel yang belum paham akan teknologi sepeda motor khususnya teknologi Injeksi. Bengkel servis sepeda motor dan pelaku bisnis konvensional merupakan kelompok yang sangat rentan termakan dampak lambannya proses transfer teknologi ini. Berdasarkan Observasi yang dilakukan kendaraan roda 2 (sepeda motor) merupakan moda transportasi utama yang menopang kegiatan keseharian warga dan penopang perekonomian warga dalam mengirim hasil produk pertanian di kenagarian kapau alam pauh duo di kabupaten Solok selatan. Oleh karena itu diperlukan bengkel servis teknologi terbaru (injeksi) agar kondisi sepeda motor tetap dalam kondisi fit dan prima. Bengkel sepeda motor yang ada rata-rata mereka memiliki permasalahan yaitu  sulitnya  bagi  mereka  untuk  mendapatkan  Up-date  teknologi  terbaru sepeda motor, sehingga apabila ada kerusakan pada kendaraan keluaran terbaru (5 tahun terakhir) mereka lebih memilih untuk menolak. Ini terjadi lantaran memang para mekanik bengkel bukanlah orang yang memiliki latar belakang pendidikan seorang mekanik. Program pelatihan bertujuan untuk memberikan  transfer  of  knowledge kepada mekanik, terutama teknologi terbaru sepeda motor. Sehingga output yang dihasilkan berupa kualitas pelayanan dan kompetensi mekanik menjadi lebih baik

Tingkat keterserapan lulusan SMK di Pesisir Selatan untuk bekerja sesuai bidang keahliannya yang ada masih kurang dari 50% dari jumlah lulusan. Hal ini disebabkan oleh keterbatasan fasilitas pratikum, ilmu yang diberikan kurang up to date, serta jumlah guru produktif yang masih kurang. Pembelajaran kewirausahaan masih bersifat teoritis, belum menyentuh ide-ide kreatif siswa untuk bisa menghasilkan produk-produk yang layak jual sesuai dengan ilmu yang mereka pelajari. Pertumbuhan lapangan kerja tidak sebanding, menjadikan tingkat persaingan bekerja semakin ketat. Untuk menyiapkan lulusan yang siap kerja maka tim memberikan pelatihan keterampilan dan program pendampingan untuk meningkatkan kreatifitas dan inovasi siswa yang akan tamat dalam menghasilkan produk-produk kreatif sebagai cendaramata dan bernilai jual di objek wisata Pesisir Selatan. Metode yang digunakan selama kegiatan pelatihan berlangsung adalah ceramah, tanya jawab, demonstrasi, dan bimbingan. Program Kemitraan Masyarakat dengan tema Rancang Bangun produk Inovatif dalam Rangka Menyiapkan Lulusan SMK Yang Mandiri, telah diselenggarakan pada tanggal 02 s.d 05 Agustus 2019, menghasilkan keluaran PKM berupa 16 unit lampu hias dari pipa paralon yang dihiasi cangkang kerang, peningkatan keterampilan peserta latih, bahan ajar kewirausahaan dan publikasi di media sosial internet. Kegiatan ini menumbuhkan ide-ide kreatif peserta latih dalam menghasilkan sebuah produk yang bernilai jual dengan memanfaatkan bahan yang ada disekitarnya.

Salah satu permasalahan sekolah di daerah adalah keterbatasan akses informasi dan update teknologi yang cenderung lambat. Kondisi ini diperparah dengan keterbatasan peralatan serta ketersediaan fasilitas praktikum. Kondisi ini menjadi latar belakang penulis bersama tim untuk melaksanakan pengabdian masyarakat di SMK N 1 Kec. Luak. Kondisi sekolah yang masih tergolong baru menyisakan banyak permasalahan dalam kegiatan PBM. Mulai dari ketersediaan peralatan, ketersediaan sumber informasi dan update teknologi yang minim(Erzeddin Alwi, Nuzul Hidayat, Wanda Afnison, 2018).Kegiatan PKM dilaksanakan selama 4 hari dengan materi system bahan bakar injeksi (EFI). Materi ini dipilih karena permintaan sekolah yang memang masih minim informasi terkait sistem EFI. Kegiatan PKM dimulai dengan kegiatan pre test(Fernandez, Chandra, Maksum, & Afnison, 2018) di awal pertemuan, yang digunakan untuk pemetaan kompetensi siswa. Kegiatan PKM dibagi menjadi 2 kegiatan utama yaitu: teori dan praktik. Peserta dibekali materi teori terlebih dahulu sebelum melakukan praktik di workshop. Pada akhir kegiatan dilakukan post test sebagai bentuk evaluasi berupa ujian tulis.Dari hasil evaluasi diperoleh peningkatan pemahaman siswa terkait materi system bahan bakar injeksi (EFI) dengan rata-rata peningkatan pemahaman sebesar 10-15% tiap siswa. Kondisi ini cukup posistif mengingat kegiatan PKM yang dilaksanakan hanya 4 hari. Penulis berkeyakinan jika ini dilanjutkan secara terus menerus maka dapat berdampak kepada peningkatan kualitas PBM dan kualitas lulusan(Hidayat, Arif, Setiawan, & Afnison, 2018).
