Tiga mahasiswa Fakultas Farmasi, Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) menyabet juara pertama pada Lomba Karya Tulis Ilmiah Mahasiswa (LKTIM) bertajuk “Chemistry in Festival” di Universitas Mataram, Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) pada 22−25 November 2018. Ketiga mahasiswa tersebut adalah Desty Restia Rahmawati, Diar Winanti, dan Riska Nurkhasanah yang sukses membuat inovasi obat Hepatitis B dari buah mengkudu dan tanaman herba meniran.

Desty, ketua tim menjelaskan, buah mengkudu mengandung senyawa scolopetin yang sangat efektif sebagi unsur anti peradangan dan anti-alergi. Sementara akar dan daun herba meniran kaya senyawa flavonoid yang antibakteri sangat tinggi. Kemudian adanya sentuhan teknologi nano membuat partikel semakin kecil dan dapat menghantarkan obat pada sel yang sakit. Selain itu, obat ini tidak merusak sel yang sehat.

Tim mempersiapkan materi lomba dengan mencari materi di jurnal dan beberapa referensi lainnya tentang buah mengkudu dan tanaman herba meniran. Proposal yang disusun mengombinasikan kedua bahan untuk terapi Hepatitis B. Selain itu, Desty dan tim meningkatkan kapasistas presentasi dan membuat prototipenya.

Proposal yang diajukan berjudul “Moraphy: Prospek Kombinasi Buah Mengkudu (Morinda citrifolia) dan Herba Meniran (Phyllanthus niruri) dengan Formula Nanoenkapsulasi Berbasis Kitosan dan Pektin sebagai Inovasi Strategis Targeted Drug Delivery System untuk Terapi Hepatitis B yang Menjanjikan”.

“Pada tahap seleksi, ada 86 tim yang mengajukan proposal. Setiap tim terdiri atas tiga mahasiswa yang berasal dari 30 perguruan tinggi se-Indonesia,” jelas Desty di kampus 1 UAD, Jumat (30-11-2018) didampingi Danang Sukantar, M.Pd. Kepala Bidang Pengelolaan dan Pengembangan Kemahasiswaan Bimawa dan Dr. Hari Susanti, M.Si., Apt. Wakil Dekan Farmasi UAD. Mereka di bawah bimbingan Siti Fatmawati Fatimah, M.Sc., Apt.

Desember 4, 2018/in Warta Utama UAD/by webmaster

Program Pascasarjana Program Studi Pendidikan Vokasi Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) menyelenggarakan Workshop Research Methodology in Vocational Educvation dengan Pemateri dari Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) Malaysia. Pemateri tersebut antara lain Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mohamed Nor Azhari Azman dan Dr. Arman Shah bin Abdullah. Ditambah satu pemateri dari UAD yaitu Dr. Budi Santosa.

Pada kesempatan ini, Direktur Program Pascasarjana UAD, Prof. Dr. Achmad Mursyidi, M.Sc.,Apt. menyampaikan, pendidik atau guru di Indonesia harus meningkatkan kompetensi dan keterampilan supaya bisa menjadi seorang profesional.

“Pengalaman mengajar itu penting, tapi pengalaman belajar juga penting. Banyak mahasiswa S2 yang berasal dari kalangan guru. Ketika di sekolah jadi pendidik, ketika di perkuliahan jadi mahasiswa. Maka belajar itu tidak ada putusnya.”

Kemudian, ia juga menjelaskan pentingnya menguasai ilmu agama. Pengetahuan dan ilmu agama merupakan bekal untuk menjadi orang bermanfaat bagi masyarakat, bangsa, dan negara. “Jika gurunya bagus, mutu siswa juga akan bagus. Ini akan memajukan pendidikan di Indonesia,” jelasnya ketika memberi sambutan di kampus UAD 2B, Sabtu (1–12–2018).

Sementara, Mohamed Nor Azhari Azman mengatakan, saat ini banyak penelitian di pendidikan vokasi. “Inovasi-inovasi baru terus bermunculan. Termasuk inovasi yang menyasar penyandang disabilitas. Kita tidak boleh mengesampingkan disabilitas. Oleh karenanya pendidikan harus menyasar semuanya.”

Meski bertema research methodology, dalam kesempatan ini juga menyinggung tentang perkembangan pendidikan vokasi, khususnya untuk kaum disabilitas. Bekal keterampilan bagi penyandang disabilitas merupakan hal penting untuk memaksimalkan potensi. Jadi dalam keterbatasan tetap ada kelebihan.

“Kami berharap kerja sama antara UAD dengan UPSI bisa terus belanjut. Ke depan mungkin bisa ada join research dan program-program lainnya. Jadi, tidak hanya dalam hal akademik saja, tetapi bisa ke penelitian dan pengabdian.” (ard)

Prof. Dr. Soepomo, S.H. Warungboto, Yogyakarta. Pelatihan ini diikuti mahasiswa umum UAD dan perwakilan dari Organisasi Mahasiswa (Ormawa) maupun Organisasi Otonom (Ortom).

Hendi Ristiono, S.Farm.,MPH.,Apt. Kepala Bidang CDC dan Alumni Bimawa dalam keterangannya menjelaskan, kegiatan yang diinisiasi UAD dan BNNP DIY untuk memberikan pengetahuan mengenai Napza dan untuk menekan pemakaian serta peredarannya.

“Kegiatan ini sebetulnya bentuk kepedulian UAD, karena mahasiswa baru yang masuk Yogyakarta setiap tahun sekitar 90 ribu. Jumlah ini tentu menjadi pangsa riskan penyalahgunaan Napza. UAD ingin membekali mahasiswanya supaya tidak terlibat dalam penyalahgunaan obat-obatan terlarang,” kata Hendi.

Lebih lanjut, ia menjelaskan, usia rata-rata yang menjadi sasaran penyalahgunaan narkoba adalah usia produktif. Artinya pelajar dan mahasiswa masuk dalam kategori tersebut. Ke depan, UAD akan membentuk satuan tugas (Satgas) dan pegiat anti Napza bekerja sama dengan BNNP DIY.

“Melalui pelatihan ini mahasiswa akan dibekali pengetahuan oleh para pemateri dari BNNP. Harapannya, mahasiswa yang mengikuti pelatihan akan menyebarkan keilmuannya serta bahaya tentang penyalahgunaan Napza kepada keluarga, teman, maupun lingkup masyarakat.”

Kemudian, anti Napza juga direkomendasikan oleh Kementerian Riset, Teknologi, dan Pendidikan Tinggi (Kemenrsitekdikti) RI masuk dalam kegiatan kemahasiswaan selain anti korupsi dan anti radikalisme. Kegiatan ini juga dapat meningkatkan perguruan tinggi dalam Sistem Informasi Manajemen Pemeringkatan Mahasiswa (Simkatmawa).

Sementara, Danang Sukantar, M.Pd. Kepala Bidang Kemahasiswaan Bimawa senada dengan Hendi, pembekalan mengenai anti Napza perlu terus digalakkan. “Mahasiswa UAD harus jadi pegiat anti Napza. Saat ini, Yogyakarta berada di urutan teratas pelajar yang menyalahgunakan Napza,” terangnya.

UAD akan terus mengembangkan kerja sama dengan BNNP. Misalnya dalam hal riset. Beberapa fakultas seperti Fakultas Farmasi, Fakultas Kesehatan Masyarakat, Fakultas Psikologi, dan Fakultas Hukum bisa ambil bagian dalam kerja sama riset ini. Tetapi, tidak menutup kemungkinan juga bagi fakultas-fakultas lain. (ard)

Desember 2, 2018/in Warta Utama UAD/by webmaster

Luthva Luviandani Pratiwi is the best graduate of Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) at the graduation period of November 2018 with a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.97. In total, there were 1,868 graduates with 768 of them being cum laude graduates. The woman, who was born in Garut on September 3, 1996 and is from the Faculty of Public Health (FKM), is interested in epidemiology.

Her love of science comes from his idol, John Snow. "He is the Father of Epidemiology. Epidemiology is a study about the spread of infectious diseases to humans and the factors that can affect their spread. The elective course that I chose while being in the university is also epidemiology. Therefore, I hope that, later in carrying out assignments in the workfield, I can be like John Snow. "

Luthva likes epidemiology because she has the desire to reduce the rate of spread of infectious diseases in Indonesia. Therefore, after graduating from UAD, she still had the intention to continue her master's degree in health.

In the process of becoming the best graduate in UAD, the daughter of H. Wahyudin and Hj. Endah Nurhayati always has her focus in class when the lecturer delivers the material. Unlike most students who take notes from the slides, Luthva takes notes of what the lecturer said. She takes notes and keeps in mind the important things that have been delivered.

"My learning method leans towards visual material. So, I do not print much material, I just study from the laptop and open the power point document. By doing that, without realizing it, I will remember the material based on the location and color in the slide, making it easier for me to memorie everything," she said.

Besides being diligent in studying, Luthva was active in organization, at the Student Executive Board (BEM) of FKM since the first semester. She spent her time at BEM for three periods by starting from being a cadre, then community service staff, and the head of the community service department. In addition, she was a champion of the 2016 the Most Outstanding Student (Mawapres) on the faculty level.

"My main learning motivation is both of my parents. I don't want to disappoint people around me and my family. Therefore, always trying the best in all things is something that I must continue to do."

Just like other regular students, Luthva also often feels lazy and bored. However, she has a good time management to arrange her class, practicum, organization, community service, and holidays. According to the woman who likes Korean dramas, holidays are needed to keep the mind fresh. "So, hanging out is also needed occasionally," she said.
