Distance education is an alternative to providing access to education for people who are constrained by distance and time. Based on the concept of "Ing Ngarso Sung Tulodo, Ing Madyo Mangun Karso, Tut Wuri Handayani" which is a principle in Javanese education, Distance Education can reinforce the three pillars of education. First, Ing Ngarso Sung Tulodo means "in front of setting an example". Distance Education can provide exemplary examples through the use of appropriate technology in the teaching and learning process. Using the right technology, such as video conferencing, e-learning, and other learning media, creates an interactive and interesting learning environment for students. Second, Ing Madyo Mangun Karso means "in the middle of strengthening the spirit". Distance Education can provide students a high enthusiasm for learning by providing access to all levels of society to learn. That way, students can develop their potential and improve their quality of life. Third, Tut Wuri Handayani means "behind giving support". Distance Education can provide support in the form of tutoring and counseling to students who need it. With this support, students can better understand and achieve learning goals more easily. The method used in this article is a qualitative approach to the literature study method. In conclusion, Distance Education can be the right alternative for providing education access for people constrained by distance and time. The concept of "Ing Ngarso Sung Tulodo, Ing Madyo Mangun Karso, Tut Wuri Handayani" is a principle in Javanese education that can reinforce the three pillars of education.</p> Kusnadi Kusnadi Copyright (c) 2023 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Academic Studies 2023-10-18 2023-10-18 1 1 18 Effectiveness of Online Mentoring in Scientific Writing for Students in The Early Childhood Education (ECE) Teacher Program http://conference.ut.ac.id/index.php/icomus/article/view/780 <p>The purpose of this study was to obtain an overview of the effectiveness of the mentoring process for writing scientific papers for Early Childhood Education (ECE) Teacher program students at universities that implement a distance learning system.

The research subjects were 30 students who took scientific work courses through online tutorials in the 2023.1 and 2023.2 semesters. The data were analyzed descriptively by processing the similarity of the subject's answers<strong>. </strong> The results showed that the online scientific work guidance process was quite effective in terms of task completion in the form of student graduation in this course. The advantages of this mentoring process include saving costs, time and energy and managing the mentoring process. The weaknesses include the difficulty in understanding the material and the ineffective revision process. Recommendation: to make the mentoring process more effective, occasionally the mentoring is done offline, or the mentoring process is blended online and offline. Originality produces new knowledge without repeating what has already been done by others.</p> Sri Tatminingsih Copyright (c) 2023 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Academic Studies 2023-10-18 2023-10-18 1 19 27 Potential of Moringa Leaves (Moringa Oleifera L.) as a Functional Food Ingredient for Fortification of Iron Mineral Muffins http://conference.ut.ac.id/index.php/icomus/article/view/889 <p>This study aimed to determine the effect of adding Moringa leaf flour on the iron mineral content of muffins. This study used a factorial randomized design with a comparison factor of Moringa leaf powder concentration (0%, 3%, 6%, 9%, 12% and factors of temperature conditions and baking time ((180 ºC, 30 minutes), (200 ºC, 25 minutes)). This study was repeated with 2 experimental repetitions and 2 measurement repetitions. The results showed that the addition of Moringa leaf flour and the interaction of moringa leaf flour and baking process conditions had a significant effect on the muffin iron content. The addition of Moringa leaf powder increased the muffin mineral content. The results of this study indicated that the highest average iron content found in muffins with 12% Moringa leaves was 2.02 mg/100 g. Based on the need for iron intake for pregnant women of 9 mg/100 g, consuming 100 g of moringa muffins has fulfilled 20% of the nutritional iron needs of pregnant women. In conclusion, moringa has potential as a functional food ingredient that can increase the iron content of muffins. By conducting this research, there are new knowledge without repeating what has already been done by others.</p> Rina Rismaya Eko Yuliastuti Endah Sulistyawati Winda Nurtiana Alfi Rahmawan Athiefah Fauziyyah Dini Nur Hakiki Mohamad Rajih Radiansyah Copyright (c) 2023 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Academic Studies 2023-10-23 2023-10-23 1 28 35 Fabrication and Characterization of Activated Carbon from ‘Aking rice’ Waste http://conference.ut.ac.id/index.php/icomus/article/view/1176 <p>Rice as a staple food for most Indonesian people contributes a high amount of food waste. Indonesian people generally process cooked rice waste into ‘Aking rice’. ‘Aking rice’ is a result from the drying of cooked rice with the sun. ‘Aking rice’ is generally used as animal feed, but on the other hand, aking rice has the potential to be used as a source of activated carbon because it contains high carbon. We learn the optimum carbonization temperature for making activated carbon from aking rice by conducting several characterization tests on activated charcoal from each carbonization temperature. The fabrication method of activated carbon in this research occurs in two steps, carbonization first followed by chemical activation using HCl. The carbonization temperature variations are 300°C, 400°C, and 500°C. The optimum carbonization temperature is 500°C because all results comply with requirement. Activated carbon from carbonization temperature at 500°C has water content of 0,96%, ash content of 0,98%, volatile matter content of 19,30%, and fixed carbon content 79,72%. Variation of carbonization temperature does not give significant effect for ash content and water content, but give significant effect for volatile matter content and fixed carbon content.</p> Muhammad Hanif Fauziah Rahman Farah Syifa Aulia Athiefah Fauziyyah Iffana Dani Maulida Copyright (c) 2023 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Academic Studies 2023-10-24 2023-10-24 1 36 43 Analysis of Good Governance Implementation in Public Services http://conference.ut.ac.id/index.php/icomus/article/view/1190 <p>The government has duties and responsibilities in public services, in carrying out its duties in providing government services applying the principles of good governance which is a challenge for governments in the era of globalization and modernization. To implement the principles of good governance, the government issued Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Local Government and Law Number 25 of 2009 concerning Public Services. However, currently entering 3 decades after reform, good governance practices are still far from public wishful thinking, but on the contrary, the practice of corruption, collusion, and nepotism is still rampant and constrained by decentralization hegemony. This paper aims to determine the level of application of good government in Ajibarang District, Banyumas Regency. The method used in this study is to use a qualitative approach by conducting interviews with leaders and implementers of public services, this research was conducted in Ajibarang District, Banyumas Regency because Ajibarang District has received awards with plenary service, but there are still many complaints from the public related to public services. The application of good governance principles has been implemented in public services in Ajibarang District, Banyumas Regency, the implementer has also conducted socialization to the community regarding public services carried out in Ajibarang District. Public Services in Ajibarang District have also carried out public service activities in accordance with Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and laws and regulations.</p> Saeful Rokhman Sofiana Mardiyantiningsih Indah Setia Utami Copyright (c) 2023 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Academic Studies 2023-10-25 2023-10-25 1 44 51 Reaching the Unreached: The Role And Contribution Of Open And Distance Education For Communities In The Island Region http://conference.ut.ac.id/index.php/icomus/article/view/1175 <p>Accessibility and reachability are the strengths of open and distance education (ODE) with its cost-effectiveness and flexibility.

This research aims to empower Pokdarwis through the implementation of integrated digital marketing in the Jantung Nusantara Tourism Village, Masakambing Island. By applying integrated digital marketing strategies, a significant increase is expected in reaching online audiences, creating a positive impact on the overall marketing sector, and supporting the economic growth of the village through the tourism sector. The research methodology involves mixed methods, focusing on integrated digital marketing training involving 33 members of Pokdarwis Beka' Island. From the research findings, it can be concluded that empowerment occurs in three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. This includes observation, interviews, preparation of training materials, discussions, and evaluation of digital marketing results. The final conclusion indicates that integrated digital marketing can be an effective solution for enhancing the village's economy through the tourism sector.</p> Nina Shilfina Mela Mela Andilopa Ginting Copyright (c) 2023 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Academic Studies 2023-11-22 2023-11-22 1 202 210 Application of ISAK 35 in the Presentation of Financial Statements of Non-Profit Entities in the Catholic Church http://conference.ut.ac.id/index.php/icomus/article/view/1167 <p>This study aims to determine the form of existing financial reporting and also to determine the implementation of financial reporting in the Catholic Church of St. Joseph Rumah Tiga and St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church Masohi based on ISAK No. 35. The method used is descriptive qualitative. Data sources using primary and secondary data were collected by researchers using interviews, observation, and documentation techniques. In this study, researchers conducted data analysis by collecting data, reducing, testing the validity of the data, and presenting until they could draw a conclusion. The results showed that the financial records of the Catholic Church of St. Joseph's Rumah Tiga and St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church Masohi still use a simple method. Financial recording is only carried out in the event of cash in and cash out (cash base). Then the preparation of financial statements of the Catholic Church of St. Joseph Rumah Tiga and St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church Masohi prepared based on ISAK No. 35 resulted in more structured and more detailed financial statements related to cash in and cash out.</p> Indri Fadila Veronica Watugigir Rachman Kurniawan Wildoms Sahusilawane Copyright (c) 2023 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Academic Studies 2023-11-25 2023-11-25 1 211 221 Household Food Security Study Before The Pandemi, During The Pandemi and When New Normal in Gorontalo District http://conference.ut.ac.id/index.php/icomus/article/view/872 <p>The purpose of this study is to analyze factors affecting household food security before the pandemic, during the pandemic, and the new normal in Gorontalo District. The method applied in this study is a qualitative descriptive method while the methods used in data collection are interviews, observation, documentation, and questionnaires. The results of the study show that the factors that affect household food security include the number of family members (X1), pre-pandemic income (X2), pandemic income (X3), new normal income (X4), and expenditure (X5), with t-test analysis can be seen that the variable number of family members (X1), Income during the Pandemic (X3) and Income during the New Normal (X4) has no significant effect on household food security (Y), while the variables Pre-Pandemic Income (X2) and Expenditures (X5) has a significant effect on household food security (Y). It can be seen that farmers can still exist during a pandemic, it is not too influential because farmers are still carrying out their activities, they can still eat garden produce, and their catch.</p> Andi Suci Anita Purna Kusumayana A.

Lamb) Anthocyanins http://conference.ut.ac.id/index.php/icomus/article/view/2291 <p><strong>Purpose </strong>– Formalin in food can be detected using anthocyanin pigments in purple sweet potatoes (<em>Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lamb</em>). Anthocyanins turn red or pink on contact with acidic formalin. Concerns arise about similar color changes with other acidic compounds. Thus, this study examines anthocyanin reactions with various acidic compounds—Food Additives Acids: acetic, lactic, citric, phosphoric, ascorbic, benzoic, and tartaric acid.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Methodology </strong>–This simple experiment involved 7 test samples and 1 control (formalin). Sample concentrations adhered to BPOM guidelines, and pH levels were measured. Purple sweet potatoes were mixed 1:1 with distilled water. 5 mL of each sample was combined with anthocyanin drops in separate test tubes (10 mL total volume). Observations tracked color change duration (735.40 seconds). pH was measured again post-observation<strong>.</strong></p> <p><strong>Findings</strong> – Results showed red coloration in lactic, phosphoric, and acetic acid samples—not always indicating formalin. pH changes after anthocyanin addition can quantitatively detect formalin and acid samples.</p> <p><strong>Originality</strong> – This research has never been conducted before. Previous studies only focused on the detection of formalin acid compounds in food, not about acidic food additives.</p> Riska Nurul Fauziyah Fauziah Restiyani Eko Yuliastuti, E.S Copyright (c) 2023 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Academic Studies 2024-02-12 2024-02-12 1 231 240 Analysis of The Process of Formulation And Publication of The Regulation of The Regency Head Regarding The Allocation of Village Funds in Bogor Regency for The Year 2023 http://conference.ut.ac.id/index.php/icomus/article/view/1011 <p>The Regent Regulation (Peraturan Bupati or Perbup) is one type of Regional Head Regulation (Peraturan Kepala Daerah or Perkada) that functions as an implementation tool for higher-level national and provincial laws and regulations. This research is conducted because the Bogor Regency Government has issued a Regent Regulation regarding the Village Fund Allocation (Alokasi Dana Desa or ADD) for the fiscal year 2023, but there has been a delay in its issuance. The research aims to determine whether the process of drafting the Bogor Regency Regent Regulation Number 11 of 2023 concerning the Allocation and Procedures for the Distribution of Village Fund for the Fiscal Year 2023 is in accordance with the Laws and Regulations. The author uses the normative juridical method in this research by obtaining data through literature study and interviews. The data sources used include documents related to the Formation of Laws and Regulations, such as the Ministry of Home Affairs Regulation and other relevant regulations, as well as relevant literature data on the research topic. In addition, interviews were conducted with relevant officials to obtain complete and in-depth information. This research indicates that the formation of regent regulations must follow the mechanisms and procedures stipulated in the laws and regulations, including the stages of drafting, deliberation, guidance/facilitation, determination, numbering, promulgation, authentication, and dissemination. Therefore, procedurally, the process of drafting and issuing Regent Regulation Number 11 of 2023 concerning the Allocation and Procedures for the Distribution of Village Fund for the Fiscal Year 2023 is in line with the provisions of Law Number 12 of 2011 concerning the Formation of Laws and Regulations, as well as the Ministry of Home Affairs Regulation Number 80 of 2015 concerning the Formation of Regional Legal Products.</p> Novan Yuana Nur Ilham Nadia Nurani Isfarin Copyright (c) 2023 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Academic Studies 2024-02-15 2024-02-15 1 241 253 Improving The Competitiveness of The Rote Ndao Ikat Weaving Industry http://conference.ut.ac.id/index.php/icomus/article/view/2384 <p>Many ikat weaving crafts are found in Indonesia, including Rote Ndao ikat weaving in East Nusa Tenggara Province. To survive global competition, ikat weaving must have a competitive advantage over other weaving. This research will analyze the competitiveness of Rote Ndao ikat weaving. The method used is SWOT Analysis, which explores strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The results showed that Rote Ndao ikat weaving has a unique and classy appeal to motifs and patterns. However, the design that is owned tends to be dark. In contrast, many consumers want lighter colors. Ikat weaving at a lower price is now widely found on the market. Thus, MSME players must diversify products and innovations so that the Rote Ndao ikat weaving motif can be accepted in all market segments. The local Government must also provide a positive climate to support Rote Ndao ikat weaving to become one of the leading products in East Nusa Tenggara Province.</p> Herry Richard Henukh Dinda Ketlyn Esmeralda Adu Esty Feronika Afuiakani Etty Puji Lestari Copyright (c) 2023 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Academic Studies 2024-03-14 2024-03-14 1 254 266
