Shrimp shell waste is a potential marine biomass resource rich in bioactive compounds such as astaxanthin and chitin, yet remains underutilized in the livestock sector. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of incorporating shrimp shell meal into duck (Anas sp.) feed rations on the yolk color intensity of duck eggs. The experimental design applied a completely randomized design (CRD) with a single factor and four treatments: D0 (100% rice bran, control), A1 (rice bran + 2% shrimp shell meal), A2 (rice bran + 6%), and A3 (rice bran + 10%), with a 21-day observation period. The primary parameter measured was yolk color intensity, assessed visually using a standardized color scale. The results indicated that the addition of shrimp shell meal significantly enhanced yolk color intensity, with the highest pigmentation observed in the A3 treatment. Astaxanthin, functioning as a natural carotenoid pigment, was biologically absorbed and distributed into the yolk via lipophilic pathways, while chitin supported gut health and nutrient absorption efficiency. This study aligns with the principles of the circular economy by valorizing marine processing waste as a functional feed ingredient. A 10% inclusion rate was found to be visually optimal; however, further studies are required to assess its physiological impacts and economic feasibility in broader production contexts.

Internal combustion engines generate thermal energy through the combustion of an air-fuel mixture. The incoming air must be filtered, as it contains impurities and particles. While air filters are commonly made from paper, they can also be developed using organic waste materials such as sugarcane bagasse and rice husk. This study aims to analyze the effect of biocomposite air filters on engine power, torque, and specific fuel consumption (SFC), by varying the material composition and the number of pleats, and comparing the results with those of a standard air filter. The method used is a quantitative experimental approach involving dyno testing on a 150 cc motorcycle engine. The tested material compositions include 50:50, 40:60, 30:70, 60:40, and 70:30 (sugarcane bagasse\:rice husk), with pleat counts of 28, 26, and 24. Results showed that the biocomposite filter with 28 pleats and a 30:70 composition delivered the best performance, producing 18.47 Hp and 16.66 Nm of torque—higher than the standard filter’s 17.98 Hp and 15.52 Nm. In terms of fuel efficiency, the 26-pleat filter with a 50:50 composition recorded the lowest SFC at 41.90 g/kWh, significantly better than the standard filter’s 53.03 g/kWh. Conversely, the 60:40 composition resulted in the highest SFC due to increased airflow resistance.

Rice is a primary commodity in Indonesia's agricultural sector, playing a strategic role in national food security. However, rice productivity in Jombok Village, Ngantang District, Malang Regency, has declined due to an infestation of rats (Rattus argentiventer). The uncontrolled rat population has caused damage to crops from the vegetative to the generative stages, resulting in a decrease in harvest yields. The limited understanding among farmers about effective pest control strategies has worsened the situation. The community service aims to enhance farmers' knowledge and skills in controlling rat pests through an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach. The methods used include socialization, counseling, field training, and the evaluation of pest control techniques involving mechanical, biological, and chemical methods. Evaluation results showed that farmers' understanding improved from 40% to 85% after the training. Furthermore, after one month, the rat population decreased by 40%. These findings suggest that education and hands-on practice contribute to the effectiveness of pest control and increased rice productivity. Therefore, a farmer empowerment-based approach should continue to be implemented to support the sustainability of agriculture in agrarian regions.

This study examines Boras Sipir Ni Tondi, a sacred cultural symbol of the Batak community which literally means “rice that restores the soul,” often used in traditional rituals as a medium of spiritual healing, blessing, and communal solidarity. The research addresses the growing theological tension and cultural disconnection among Batak Christian youth who are caught between ancestral heritage and the normative teachings of Christianity. The objective of this study is to explore the symbolic and theological meaning of Boras Sipir Ni Tondi and to develop a contextual approach for its integration into Christian Religious Education (CRE). Using a qualitative research approach with library research methods and contextual hermeneutic analysis, the study draws on theological literature, cultural anthropology, and scriptural narratives. The findings reveal that Boras Sipir Ni Tondi holds profound symbolic meanings aligned with Christian concepts of restoration, spiritual renewal, and divine grace. When interpreted theologically, this symbol can serve as a pedagogical tool to bridge faith and culture, especially through reflective learning models, contextual liturgies, and integrative teaching strategies. The study proposes that by embracing culturally meaningful symbols within the framework of biblical theology, CRE can foster spiritual identity that is both rooted in tradition and transformative in faith. It concludes that a critical and theologically grounded inculturation of local symbols enhances the relevance of Christian education, enabling learners to embody faith that is contextually aware, spiritually alive, and culturally rooted.  

This study aims to analyze the determination of selling prices and enthusiasts by traders and their relationship with demand fluctuations in the traditional market of MMTC Medan. The method used is a qualitative descriptive analysis method with a survey approach, involving three traders, namely rice, onion, and cabbage traders, data collected through direct interviews. The results of the study show that the setting of selling prices by traders has an effect on market enthusiasts as well as fluctuations in demand. Merchants set prices based on a combination of cost of goods sold, competitor prices, and estimated consumer purchasing power. Significant price fluctuations tend to lower the volume of demand, especially in non-primary products, and also poor quality of goods. Thus, this study concludes that understanding demand patterns and price adaptability are the main key factors in maintaining the business continuity of traders in the traditional market of MMTC Medan.

This study examines the dilemma of rice import policy in Indonesia within the context of international trade and food security challenges. Rice, as a strategic commodity, holds significant social, economic, and political value, making import policies highly influential on price stability, farmers’ welfare, and national food security. The research identifies that import policies are often misaligned with domestic needs due to weak inter-institutional coordination, data inaccuracies, and pressures from political and business interests. As a result, import policies frequently create imbalances between the interests of consumers, traders, and local farmers, while also reducing the competitiveness of domestic rice due to inefficiencies in the distribution chain and post-harvest infrastructure. This study emphasizes the importance of data-based, transparent, and farmer-protective governance of rice import policies to strengthen national food security amid global trade liberalization pressures. hain, trade liberalization.

Stunting remains one of the major nutritional problems in Indonesia. According to the 2024 Indonesian Health Survey (SKI), the prevalence of stunting in Papua Province reached 16.8%. A child’s nutritional status is strongly influenced by dietary intake, particularly protein, which plays a crucial role in growth. One potential source of animal protein is Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta), a type of fish commonly found in Papua. Indian mackerel is rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids but is highly perishable, limiting its shelf life. To address this issue, the fish is processed into flour. Additionally, green spinach is used as a source of fiber and minerals, although it is also prone to spoilage. The spinach is processed by extracting its juice, which is then incorporated into noodle products. Dried noodles were chosen as a medium for fortification because they are widely consumed across age groups and often used as a substitute for rice.This study aimed to determine the effect of adding Indian mackerel flour and green spinach extract on the chemical properties and sensory acceptance of dried noodles. The research methods included nutritional content analysis and organoleptic testing. The sensory evaluation was conducted by 25 semi-trained panelists who were nutrition science students

Food is a basic need that must be met by every individual. In Indonesia, rice is still the main staple food, but the shift in consumption to rice and wheat which are imported foodstuffs raises concerns about food security. Therefore, the development of local food alternatives such as MOCAF (Modified Cassava Flour) flour from cassava is important. In this practicum, MOCAF flour was made through a cassava fermentation process, followed by making onion cakes using the MOCAF flour. Organoleptic tests and XRF tests were carried out to evaluate the quality of MOCAF flour. The results of the practicum showed that the substitution of MOCAF flour in making onion cakes can produce low-gluten products that have the potential to be a sustainable food alternative.

Jamalsari Village has rich local potentials, including natural tourism, agriculture, and traditional culture. Unfortunately, these potentials have not been optimally managed, and as a result, they have not significantly contributed to the community’s welfare. In response to this issue, a community service program was conducted with the goal of empowering the residents in developing tourism and creative economies based on local potentials. The approach used was participatory, where the community was actively involved in every stage of the activity, from identifying potentials and problems to training, mentoring, and evaluating the outcomes. Key activities in this program included training local tour guides to enhance residents' capacity in welcoming tourists, homestay management training as a form of community-based accommodation, and training on processing local products such as cassava chips and opak (crispy rice cakes).
