According to several sources, since 1880, the ASME Journal Program has employed rigorous examination and a peer-review process to publish research of the highest quality, making it available to engineering professionals who seek to make a transformative impact on the world.

Thus, the presence of this application enables the academic community to submit their research journals, which are subsequently reviewed by a team from the publisher.

Because of the scholarly work of researchers and lecturers that is published in international journals.

This can potentially add value to the academic achievements of the researcher and the associated lecturer, as well as enhance the academic quality of the institution.

Bangkalan, August 15, 2024. The PKKMB (Introduction to Campus Life for New Students) has become an annual event at the university, faculty, and program study levels. The event aims to prepare new students for the transition to campus life through various activities focusing on national insight, patriotism, national defense, and familiarization with academic, student activities, and campus policies. This year, one of the main agendas of the PKKMB for the Faculty of Agriculture at UTM is to provide motivation for achieving academic success in higher education. This theme was chosen due to the frequent occurrence of students lacking enthusiasm for academic activities and showing little interest in the various opportunities provided by the campus. The event is a collaboration between the Faculty of Agriculture and lecturers from Universiti Teknologi MARA (UITM), Malaysia, namely Ts Dr. Juliana Brahim, Assoc Prof Ir Ts Dr. Rumaizah Mohd Nordin, Assoc Prof Ts Dr. Norfashiha Hashim, and Assoc Prof Sr Dr. Norazian Mohamad Yusuwan. Each speaker presented their material to new students across five programs within the Faculty of Agriculture. The event proceeded smoothly and enjoyably with the guidance of the program study chair as the moderator.

The speakers provided valuable insights into motivation, which can be categorized into two main types: intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation, originating from within the individual, includes enjoyment, purpose, growth, curiosity, passion, self-expression, and fun. Conversely, extrinsic motivation, which arises from external factors, encompasses promotions, financial gains, bonuses, and others. Additionally, the speakers emphasized that strong motivation is crucial for achieving academic goals, especially when confronted with obstacles and challenges. They highlighted the importance of resilience, the ability to recover, and maintaining an attitude of perseverance, adaptability, flexibility, and continuous learning as key components of success.

The Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture stated, “The PKKMB is a crucial moment for new students to begin their academic journey with enthusiasm and strong knowledge. We hope that with this motivational preparation, new students will be able to face academic challenges with confidence and achieve success throughout their studies.”

The PKKMB 2024 event is expected to provide significant preparation for new students to begin their academic journey with readiness and high motivation. New students should also be able to enjoy their learning experience on campus through various means, including participating in campus activities, utilizing university resources, building networks with faculty and fellow students, and balancing academic pursuits with extracurricular activities.

Bangkalan, 14 Agustus 2024 – Tim Program Penguatan Kapasitas Organisasi Kemahasiswaan (PPK Ormawa) Himala Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Trunojoyo Madura kembali melaksanakan  kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat yang memasuki tahun kedua sejak dimulai pada 2023. Kegiatan ini mengambil lokasi di Desa Pesanggrahan Bangkalan dengan fokus utama pada peningkatan kesejahteraan masyarakat melalui sektor pergaraman.

Pengabdian tahun ini menitikberatkan pada upaya untuk meningkatkan kualitas dan kuantitas hasil produksi garam lokal dengan menambahkan proses filterasi pada penuangan air baku ke bak penampungan dan kemudian ke tunnel sekrup-portabel. Tim PPK Ormawa juga membuat garam  pangan yodium dan fortifikasi ikan pepetek untuk di pasarkan. Selain itu tim PPK Ormawa Himala juga berupaya mengembangkan strategi pemasaran yang lebih modern dan efektif dengan memanfaatkan platform digital yang akan dikelola oleh karang taruna Desa Pesanggrahan. Langkah ini diharapkan dapat membuka peluang pasar yang lebih luas bagi para produsen garam di Desa Pesanggrahan, sehingga dapat meningkatkan pendapatan dan taraf hidup masyarakat setempat.

Sebagai pembuka program tahun ini, Tim PPK Ormawa Himala telah melaksanakan sosialisasi awal pada masyarakat dengan tujuan untuk memberikan pemahaman mengenai rencana kegiatan dan manfaat yang akan diperoleh dari program ini.

Selain sosialisasi, program ini juga mencakup berbagai kegiatan lain, termasuk rekacipta produk rill yang dijanjikan sebagai luaran tambahan kepada Direktorat Jenderal Pembelajaran dan Kemahasiswaan (Belmawa) bersama mitra. Rekacipta ini diharapkan dapat menjadi inovasi yang mendukung peningkatan produktivitas serta daya saing produk garam lokal di pasar yang lebih luas.

  “Kegiatan ini merupakan kelanjutan dari program sebelumnya dengan upaya kami memberdayakan masyarakat melalui pendekatan yang inovatif dan berkelanjutan. Tidak hanya sekedar sosialisasi, tetapi juga berfokus pada pengembangan produk  nyata yang dapat memberi nilai tambah bagi masyarakat. Kami percaya, dengan peningkatan kualitas produk dan akses pasar yang lebih baik, masyarakat dapat menikmati kesejahteraan yang lebih tinggi serta kami berkomitmen untuk memberikan luaran yang berkualitas sesuai dengan janji yang telah kami sampaikan kepada Belmawa” ujar Ketua Tim PPK Ormawa Himala

“Diverifikasi produk garam pangan yodium dan fortifikasi merupakan langkah penting dalam meningkatkan nilai tambah garam dan meningkatkan kesejahteraan petambak garam” ujar Dinas Kelautan Bangkalan. “Melalui sosialisasi ini, kami berharap petambak garam dapat menerapkan inovasi-inovasi baru dalam kegiatan produksinya.”

Program pengabdian ini tidak hanya melibatkan mahasiswa, tetapi juga berkolaborasi dengan pihak-pihak terkait, termasuk pemerintah desa dan para petambak garam setempat. Diharapkan sinergi ini dapat memberikan dampak positif yang signifikan bagi perkembangan ekonomi Desa Pesanggrahan.

“Inovasi dan kreativitas yang dihasilkan mahasiswa memberi banyak perubahan dan manfaat besar bagi kami petambak garam untuk terus meningkatkan hasil produksi garam. Kegiatan positif ini tidak hanya dirasakan oleh petambak garam, namun istri petambak, ibu PKK, serta karang taruna turut andil dalam proses menyejahterakan masyarakat desa setempat.” Ujar ketua petambak garam

“Kegiatan ini dapat menjadi wadah istri petambak garam maupun ibu PKK untuk berkreasi dan berinovasi menciptakan produk lokal yang dapat dinikmati ke seluruh penjuru nusantara.” ujar Bu Mirza, ibu PKK Desa Pesanggrahan. “Tidak hanya Bapak/Ibu saja yang produktif, namun kami sebagai pemuda Karang Taruna Desa juga melek akan teknologi sebagai pengelola platform digital mewadahi produk yang telah dihasilkan.” tambah Eko, sebagai pemuda Karang Taruna Desa Pesanggrahan.

Kegiatan ini menjadi salah satu wujud nyata dari komitmen Himala dalam memberikan kontribusi yang berkelanjutan bagi masyarakat, khususnya di sektor-sektor yang memiliki potensi besar namun belum tergarap maksimal.
