Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat profil pengrajin anyaman tikar, mengetahui pengaruh faktor produksi terhadap produksi dan mengetahui pengaruh lama usaha, tingkat pendidikan, status kepemilikan modal terhadap pendapatan pengrajin serta mengetahui pengaruh dan peran industri anyaman tikar terhadap pengembangan wilayah pantai cermin. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi kasus berupa kuisioner dan wawancara dengan pengrajin dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 10 °o dari populasi pengrajin anyaman tikar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa profil industri tikar rakyat sangat beragam yang dapat mempengaruhi perkembangan industri tikar rakyat. Dari hasil analisis linier berganda, modal berpengaruh signifikan terhadap produksi, namun tenaga kerja tidak berpengaruh nyata. Analisis korelasi chi-square lama usaha dan tingkat pendidikan dengan pendapatan menunjukkan tidak adanya korelasi, namun modal dengan pendapatan terdapat korelasi yang signifikan. Analisis rank-Spearman menyatakan hubungan lama usaha dan tenaga kerja tidak berpengaruh terhadapa pendapatan, namun modal perpengaruh positif terhadap pendapatan walaupun hubungannya lemah. Peran dan pengaruh industri anyaman tikar terhadap pengembangan wilayah dapat dilihat dari faktor bahan baku yang berasal dari dalam daerah. Selain itu, peningkatan pendapatan masyarakat mengindikasikan bahwa wilayah Kecamatan Pantai Cermin dapat dikatakan sudah berkembang. Kata Kunci : industri tikar rakyat, pengembangan wilayah

Pemanfaatan serat alam Muntingia calabura sebagai pengisi bahan biokomposit belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal. Penggunaan serat alam ini memiliki potensi yang baik sebagai bahan pengisi biokomposit. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh volume fraksi serat terhadap kekuatan tarik dan permukaan patahan biokomposit Polivinil Alkohol (PVA) dan Muntingia calabura. Volume fraksi serat di dalam PVA divariasikan 0%, 2%, 4%, 6% dan 8% (dari berat kering PVA). Pembuatan biokomposit menggunakan metode penuangan larutan gelatin. Biokomposit dikeringkan dalam suhu 70 ᵒC selama 12 jam. Setelah itu, spesimen biokomposit dipotong sesuai standar American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D882-18. Hasil pengujian tarik menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan volume fraksi serat di dalam PVA mengakibatkan penurunan kekuatan tarik. Nilai kuat tarik tertinggi terdapat pada spesimen film PVA murni adalah 6,8 MPa. Penambahan serat sebesar 2% menyebabkan penurunan sebesar 14,7% dari nilai kuat tarik film PVA. Fenomena tersebut juga terjadi pada penambahan serat 4 – 8% di dalam matriks PVA. Hal tersebut didukung oleh pengataman Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) yang menunjukkan adanya penggumpalan serat di dalam matriks.

Tanaman kelapa (Cocos nucifera L.) merupakan tanaman serbaguna dimana seluruh bagian tanaman mulai dari akar, batang, daun dan buah dapat dimanfaatkan untuk pemenuhan kebutuhan manusia dan memiliki nilai ekonomi tinggi. Mesin pengupas sabut kelapa secara mekanik merupakan pengembangan dari alat bantu pengupas sabut kelapa tradisional dan semi mekanik. Pengupas kelapa secara manual dan semi mekanik kurang efektif karena masih menggunakan tenaga manusia sebagai sumber tenaga utama dan kapasitas kerja yang kecil. Mesin pengupas sabut kelapa ini erdiri atas dua silinder yang memiliki gigi yang berfungsi untuk merobek sabut. Silinder ini berputar dengan arah yang berlawanan. Dari uji kinerja diperoleh kapasitas kerja yang lebih besar yaitu 100 buah/jam. Hasil analisa ekonomi mesin pengupas kelapa ini adalah biaya tetap Rp 2.240.784,- /tahun, biaya tidak tetap Rp 11.911,26,- /jam, biaya pokok Rp 129,89,-/buah dan Break Event Point 12.387,55 buah/tahun.

Abstract The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of adding various types of polysaccharides (CMC, xanthan gum, pectin, agar) and the percentage of polysaccharides (0.5% and 1%) on the characteristics of cucumber sorbet with a low proportion of sugar. This study uses a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with eight treatments and three replications. The results show that the interaction between the types of polysaccharides and the percentage of polysaccharides significantly affects the value of brightness (L) and yellowness (b+) of the sorbet. Based on the results of this study, the best treatment for cucumber sorbet is the cucumber sorbet using 1% xanthan gum. Cucumber sorbet using polysaccharides and a low proportion of sugar can be made as a type of frozen snack that is beneficial to the human body. Keywords: Cucumber sorbet, Percentage of polysaccharides, Polysaccharide type

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the texting, sharing, and mentoring (TSM) method as an innovative method of community empowerment applied in 'Go-Honey' program. This method is mixed offline and online with the use of Whatsapp groups connecting program participants, resource persons, and local mentors. Using the Bloom's Taxonomy approach, this study compares the knowledge level of the 'Go-Honey' program participants implementing TSM with other sitngless beekeeping program participants who use the single-face-to-face (TTM) method as a control. The total participants involved in this study were 20 people, half of whom were female members of 'Go-honey', while the other half were not. Participants were asked questions related to cognitive, affective and psychomotor aspects by direct interviews. Observations were also done on the results of the work performance. The results show that the 'Go-Honey' participants have a higher level of knowledge about stingless beekeeping compared to the control model in these three aspects of knowledge. The results of the Mann Whitney test shows that the cognitive, affective and psychomotor scores are significantly different at 1 % alpha. This method has the potential to be applied after the pandemic ends with the principle of distance learning as long as there is the internet connection and the presence of local mentors.
