Pkkm

Universitas `Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta received another visit from a team of evaluators from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) in order to monitor and evaluate the Independent Campus Competition Program (PKKM) for the 2024 budget year. This activity took place in the courtroom of the Siti Moendjijah building, UNISA Yogyakarta, Monday (04/11).

PKKM is a flagship program of the Ministry of Education and Research that aims to provide opportunities for students to hone their skills outside the classroom. Through this program, students can participate in various activities such as internships, humanitarian projects, entrepreneurship, and research.

UNISA’s Commitment to PKKM

Dr. Sulistyaningsih, S.KM, MH.Kes, Vice Rector I of UNISA Yogyakarta, in her speech expressed her appreciation for the Ministry of Education and Culture’s trust in UNISA.

“We are very grateful for the opportunity to continue organizing PKKM. This program is in line with UNISA’s vision in producing graduates who not only excel academically, but also have competencies that are relevant to the needs of the world of work,” said Sulistyaningsih.

UNISA itself has been actively implementing PKKM since 2021. To ensure the program runs well, UNISA also routinely conducts internal monitoring and evaluation.

“We are committed to continuously improving the quality of PKKM implementation at UNISA,” she added.

The head of the evaluator team, Prof. Dr. Ir. Zulkarnain, M.Hort.Sc, said that the visit of the evaluator team to UNISA Yogyakarta aims to verify the documents and reports that have been prepared by the university.

“We will assess these documents to see how far the implementation of PKKM at UNISA has met the predetermined criteria,” Zulkarnain explained.

Furthermore, Zulkarnain also said that the evaluator team is open to input and suggestions from UNISA. “If there are things that need to be improved or added, we are ready to provide input,” he added.

With this visit from the Ministry of Education and Culture, it is hoped that UNISA can continue to improve the quality of PKKM implementation. This is in line with the government’s efforts in realizing Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM), a policy that provides hope for students to plan their own learning according to their interests and talents.

Strong protests from Muhammadiyah, Nahdlatul Ulama, and MUI have shaken Yogyakarta. These three large Islamic organizations firmly rejected the proliferation of liquor stores (alcohol) in the DIY area, the three organizations spoke out because the proliferation of alcohol stores in DIY had gone too far. Over the past two years, too many liquor stores have penetrated into villages in Yogyakarta. Even in santri villages, alcohol shops have been established. So the three mass organizations said one word: ENOUGH. There is no more tolerance for alcohol shops in DIY.

Liquor

Some argue that the proliferation of liquor stores in DIY is a consequence of DIY being a tourist destination, so the number of liquor stores is normal. It is a tourist destination. Of course, this reason is not correct. For decades, DIY has been pinned as a tourist destination and the existence of alcohol shops can be managed well by the government in accordance with Regional Regulation (Perda) No. 12 of 2015 concerning Control and Supervision of Alcoholic Beverages and Prohibition of Oplosan Drinks.

The emergence of the Job Creation Law in 2019 or often referred to as the Omnibus Law has triggered the establishment of uncontrolled liquor stores. For entrepreneurs, to open a business, it is now sufficient to obtain a Business Identification Number (NIB) which is obtained quite easily. The existence of this NIB eliminates the old business license rules, such as the Trading Business License (SIUP), Company Registration Certificate (TDP) and Nuisance Permit (HO), the existence of this new regulation makes it easier for alcohol stores to be established everywhere.

The persecution of two students of Krapyak Islamic Boarding School is the tip of the iceberg of the problem of alcohol shops in Yogyakarta. Right on the students’ day on Wednesday (23/10) the persecution occurred. This case began with a group of young people who were drunk and would make calculations to the wrong target, finally several Krapyak students who had just bought food at angkringan became the main target.

Before the persecution case occurred, the people who rejected the establishment of alcohol stores had been loudly voicing. After Muhammadiyah, Nahdlatul Ulama and MUI, then Forum Ukhuwah Islamiyah (FUI) DIY made a declaration rejecting the establishment of alcohol stores. The declaration was held at the DIY DPRD building and sent an audience letter to the Governor of DIY.

Not remaining silent, Nahdlatul Ulama DIY also held a Santri Memanggil demonstration to ask for clarity on the Krapyak santri persecution case. Santri Memanggil invited all elements of NU organizations and congregations in DIY. The location was also carried out in front of the DIY Police Chief, this location symbolizes law enforcement in the DIY area.

Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta shows its concern for the health of mothers and children. This time, through the Midwifery Study Program, UNISA Yogyakarta initiated the PERSIA Class (Preparation for Happy Childbirth and Prosperous Babies) aimed specifically at pregnant women in Banyuraden Village, Gamping, Sleman.

This community service activity was held on Saturday (02/11), and was attended by 37 pregnant women and local health cadres. The PERSIA class aims to provide comprehensive education to pregnant women about the process of pregnancy, childbirth, and baby care. The materials presented included mental and physical preparation before labor, relaxation techniques, newborn care, and the importance of nutrition for pregnant women and babies.

The head of Banyuraden Village TP PKK, Kwintartiningsih Puspo Putri, welcomed UNISA’s initiative. According to her, the PERSIA class is very beneficial for pregnant women in her area, considering the importance of careful preparation in facing childbirth.

“This activity provides valuable supplies for pregnant women, so that they can undergo pregnancy with more peace and comfort,” she said.

Nidatul Khofiyah, S.Keb., Bd., MPH, Head of UNISA’s community service team, explained that the main goal of the PERSIA class is to create a healthy and intelligent next generation.

“By providing the right education early on, we hope to reduce the stunting rate and improve the quality of life of children,” she said.

One of the important points discussed in the PERSIA class was the mental health of pregnant women. Ms. Suyani, S.ST., M.Keb, said that anxiety and depression are often experienced by pregnant women. Therefore, support from family and the environment is very important to maintain the mother’s mental health.

“Pregnancy is a time full of emotions. Support from husband, family, and health workers can help pregnant women overcome anxiety and stress,” said Bdn. Suyani.

Nuli Nuryanti Zulala, S.ST., M.Keb., also emphasized the importance of positive labor support. Good support can make the labor process more comfortable and enjoyable for the mother.

“Praise, touch, and clear explanations during labor can increase the mother’s confidence and reduce pain,” she explained.

Collaborative research conducted by Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta and Sebelas Maret University (UNS) has successfully explored the implementation of Islamic values in midwifery care for pregnant women. The main focus of this research is how midwifery students are able to integrate spiritual approaches in midwifery care practices, specifically to improve patient comfort and well-being.

Pregnant Women

The research, chaired by Endang Koni Suryaningsih, S.ST., MSc.N-M., Ph.D, consisted of a team of lecturers and midwifery students from Unisa Yogyakarta together with a team of lecturers and midwifery students from UNS, using qualitative methods with in-depth interviews, observation, and data analysis from midwifery students in the fifth semester. Participants were selected based on their experience in midwifery clinical practice. This research successfully revealed the various ways Islamic values are applied in health services provided to pregnant women.

Koni said the first finding of this study was the implementation of Islamic values in midwifery services, in midwifery practice, students familiarize themselves with reading basmalah before action and hamdalah after completion. “They also provide spiritual guidance to pregnant women, such as teaching prayers before labor or suggesting dhikr and prayers to overcome anxiety. This practice not only supports pregnant women psychologically but also provides a meaningful spiritual experience,” said Koni, Monday (9/12/2024).

Second, the benefits of a spiritual approach for the patient; an Islamic-based approach helps to reduce the anxiety of pregnant women, creates a sense of calm, and increases trust in healthcare providers. Pregnant women who receive this spiritual support feel more prepared for labor, which in turn can help the labor process run more smoothly.

Third, the usefulness of Islamic values for students; students involved in this study reported that the application of Islamic values helped them become more empathetic and communicative in providing services. In addition, this experience strengthened their understanding of the importance of providing holistic care, including physical, psychological and spiritual aspects.

Fourth, challenges in implementation; some students faced obstacles such as time constraints during clinical practice and patients’ lack of understanding of the importance of spiritual aspects in healthcare. However, these obstacles can be overcome with effective communication and further training.

Dr. Koni said the conclusion of this study is that the application of Islamic values in midwifery services provides great benefits, both for students and patients. Students are able to provide more humane care, while patients feel more comfortable and valued.

“Some recommendations from the results of this study include strengthening the curriculum by adding learning modules related to spiritual approaches in midwifery services. Clinical practice training, conducting intensive training for students to improve skills in integrating spiritual aspects in care. Service evaluation, developing an evaluation mechanism to ensure the implementation of Islamic values in midwifery practice,” said Koni.

Koni said the expected impact of the results of this research can be a reference in the development of midwifery education in Indonesia. By integrating Islamic values, the midwifery profession can provide more comprehensive and meaningful services, and support efforts to improve the quality of health services in the community.

“This study also shows the importance of a spiritual approach in health services, especially in providing psychological and emotional support to pregnant women. This emphasizes the role of midwives as health workers who are not only clinically in charge, but also able to build relationships that are full of empathy and support for patients,” she said.

Goblok

News, News

In the early 90s, political magazines and newspapers in Indonesia were busy with the word “stupid” which was put forward by Gus Dur, who was then chairman of PBNU and Chairman of the Democracy Forum. Initially the word stupid was uttered by Gus Dur when he was interviewed by an English-language foreign media. “He is stupid” is what Gus Dur said when asked his opinion about the steps taken by Soeharto at that time.

Saying Soeharto is stupid in the context of Indonesian politics at that time not only requires extraordinary courage, but also based on strong arguments. So almost all audiences admired Gus Dur’s courage and affirmatively agreed with him. After that statement, the political struggle between NU, Fordem, the Government, and ABRI as Soeharto’s defenders was violent. Starting from the banning of seminars to the attempted overthrow of Gus Dur from the chairman of PBNU.

Idiot

Not long ago, about 2 years ago, Philosophy Expert Rocky Gerung said that Jokowi was “dumb” when he spoke on one occasion. According to Rocky, Mr. Jokowi was an idiot because he did not understand the fundamentals of governance. The Indonesian media world was abuzz. There were both pros and cons.

As usual the palace or Jokowi never responded to RG’s criticism even though to most ears the word “imbecile” is harsh. Instead of experiencing difficulties like Gus Dur, Mr. RG is flying high and being invited everywhere. It seems that Jokowi’s opposition is happy with RG’s expression.

In recent days, the word “goblok” was released “over” iced tea by a presidential special staffer at a recitation forum. The word then went viral and was cut into pieces in a social media video which eventually gave rise to an intention that the word goblok was so insulting. Even on social media, it was peppered with very personal opinions about the president’s special staff that were not liked before and followed by a push for dismissal.

If we look at the context in the iced tea event, it was actually a joke that is common in similar forums in other places and ordinary people. When a trader has not been able to sell his merchandise, it could be that he is not good at selling, aka stupid. So where did the word idiot go wrong to cause blasphemy.

Perhaps the one who said it today is the president’s assistant, who in yesterday’s election was not the netizen‘s choice. The question is why the word dumb thrown at a president is considered more appropriate by netizens than the word stupid for an iced tea seller? Is it fair?
