Pelatihan laboratorium

This is evidenced by the Health Education Laboratory Management Training held by UPT Laboratorium UNISA Yogyakarta which lasted for two days, August 15-16, 2024, in the courtroom of the Siti Moendjijah building.

This training is a strategic step for UNISA Yogyakarta in responding to global challenges that increasingly demand mastery of science and technology (IPTEK). Laboratories, as the heart of practical learning, play a crucial role in producing graduates who are competent and ready to face the world of work.

“Adequate laboratory conditions and good management are very important to support the practical learning process,” said Dr. Sulistyaningsih, S.KM., MH.Kes, Vice Rector I of UNISA Yogyakarta.

“Through this training, we hope that the quality of laboratory services at UNISA can continue to be improved so as to produce quality graduates,” she added.

Laboratory Management Challenges

Head of UPT Laboratorium UNISA Yogyakarta Dr. Dhesi Ari Astuti, S.SiT., M.Kes said that one of the challenges faced by many educational institutions is the unoptimal laboratory management. The diverse conditions of laboratory infrastructure, ranging from the availability of tools, materials, to data management, often become obstacles in the implementation of practicum.

“This training provides provisions for laboratory assistants in managing laboratories effectively and efficiently,” said Dhesi. “Thus, the laboratory can be a conducive place for learning and research.”

Comprehensive Training Materials

The training, which was attended by 70 participants from various regions in Indonesia, presented a very comprehensive material with several competent speakers. Starting from anatomy laboratory management, K3 biomedical laboratory, to information system-based laboratory management. The participants were also given the opportunity to discuss and share experiences with competent resource persons in their fields.

Expectations for the Future

With this training, it is hoped that the laboratories at UNISA Yogyakarta can become a reference for other educational institutions. In addition, graduates of the health study program at UNISA are expected to have high competence and be ready to compete at the national and international levels.

Tanam bibit

The Student Executive Board (BEM-KM) of Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta once again showed its concern for the environment. In a series of Unisa Green Day’s events, BEM-KM successfully established a strong collaboration with the Sleman Regency Environmental Agency (DLH). This collaboration was marked by the provision of 30 plant seeds of various types that will beautify the campus and support environmental conservation efforts, Wednesday (14/08).

During the visit to Sleman Environmental Agency Annisa Ul Mardhiyah, Minister of Social and Community of BEM-KM UNISA Yogyakarta, revealed that the enthusiasm of the academic community towards Unisa Green Day’s is very high. In addition to collecting and managing paper and plastic waste, the event was also filled with tree planting activities.

“Unisa Green Day’s is a concrete proof of our commitment to realize UNISA as a green campus,” said Annisa.

Esa Jongko Budi Angkoso, UNISA Student President, added that this activity is the first step in UNISA’s ongoing efforts to create a more friendly and sustainable campus environment.

“We hope that collaboration with DLH Sleman can continue and inspire other campuses to participate in protecting the environment,” said Esa.

The Head of Environmental Control Division of DLH Sleman, Mrs. Eni Yuliani, positively welcomed the initiative of BEM-KM UNISA.

Kader kesehatan

Universitas Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta has once again shown its commitment in improving the health status of the community. This time, through the Faculty of Health Sciences (FIKes), UNISA Yogyakarta collaborated with the Branch Manager ofAisyiyah (PCA) Kraton to organize a Health Cadre Training. This activity aims to equip health cadres with the knowledge and skills needed to provide basic health services at the community level, Saturday (03/08).

The training, which was attended by 27 participants from various areas in Kraton, focused on maternal and child health issues. The materials presented included early detection of child growth through weight and height measurement, as well as education on the importance of maintaining the health of pregnant women.

“Cadres have a very strategic role in improving the health status of the community. Through this training, we hope that cadres can become agents of change in their environment,” said Evi Wahyuntari.

The high maternal and child mortality rate in Indonesia is a serious concern. One of the contributing factors is the lack of public access to health information. Health cadres, as an extension of health workers, have an important role in overcoming this problem. By providing health education directly to the community, cadres can help raise awareness of the importance of maintaining good health.

As a follow-up to this training, the cadres will conduct identification of toddlers and pregnant women in their respective areas. The data obtained will be used as the basis for developing a more targeted health promotion program.

“We hope this training can be the first step in improving the quality of life of people in Kraton,” added Laila Desi Ikawati.

Eco Enzyme itself is a fermentation product from kitchen organic waste such as leftover fruits and vegetables that has many benefits, including as an organic fertilizer, natural cleaner, and organic waste decomposer. By utilizing eco enzyme, UNISA Yogyakarta contributes to reducing organic waste and preserving the environment.

Rector of UNISA Yogyakarta Dr. Warsiti, S.Kp., M.Kep., Sp.Mat, in her speech said that this activity is not only limited to chasing records, but also a form of UNISA’s commitment to play an active role in protecting the environment.

“Waste emergency is a serious problem in Yogyakarta. Through this festival, we want to show that UNISA is serious in addressing environmental issues and realizing a green campus,” he said.

UNISA and Green Campus Commitment
