FMIPA UGM and Pertamina Implement Clean and Affordable Methods for Optimizing Hydrocarbon Potential

The exploration of hydrocarbons in Indonesia has become a crucial agenda in the effort to meet national energy needs. There are at least 5 components that need attention in energy management: utility, rationality, addition, sustainability, community welfare, preservation of environmental functions, national resilience, and integration by prioritizing national capabilities. Ideally, these 5 components should be integrated and implemented comprehensively in the effort to realize sustainable energy management in Indonesia. Referring to the aspect of sustainability, FMIPA UGM and Pertamina collaborated on research using the Processing Passive Seismic method, representing the values of the SDGs in the points of clean and affordable energy, innovation, maintaining terrestrial ecosystems, and partnerships to achieve goals.

On Friday, December 13rd , a meeting was held to discuss the final report of the research collaboration at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, UGM. “Appreciation for FMIPA UGM from the beginning to the end of the research collaboration. The hope is to provide a new perspective regarding the presence of hydrocarbons in the location and as an added value related to hydrocarbon analysis in the field,” explained Hafizhan Ihsandani, S.T., GGR Subsurface Development Area 1 Pertamina. In future improvements, Hafizhan also suggested further analysis to obtain optimal data (silent moments).

The head of the research team, Dr. Wahyudi, M.S. outlined the challenges in the conducted research. “The challenge is the emergence of noise from a distance. It seems clear in the field, but when analyzed, noises are found. So, we have to repeat data acquisition.” Despite this, Dr. Wahyudi expressed optimism about the sustainability of the method used because of its cost-effectiveness, low social conflict effects due to the passive nature of the method, and its environmental friendliness.

Igniting Young Researcher’s Talent: Chemistry FMIPA UGM Guides SMAN 1 Kediri Students with Exciting Introduction to Organic Chemistry Laboratory Work

Embarking on a journey of scientific exploration, students from SMAN 1 Kediri seized a golden opportunity during their visit on Friday – Saturday, December 15 – 16 2023 at Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences UGM. Dr. Deni Pranowo, M.Si., the Coordinator of Organic Chemistry Laboratory Work, extended a warm welcome and provided guidance to the students and their mentors. “We will receive instructions and information related to the introduction of equipments and materials, and then we will put them into practice in the laboratory,” explained Dr. Deni. The theoretical exposition was conducted in the Seminar Room of the Chemistry Department by Dr. Muhammad Idham Darusalam Mardjan, S.Si., M.Sc. while the practical sessions were held in the organic chemistry laboratory.

Three practical activities were scheduled: (1) preparation and dilution of solutions, (2) observation of chemical reactions in redox reactions, and (3) extraction of natural substances and their application as acid-base indicators. Beyond the practical experiments, students had the opportunity to formulate research ideas and transform them into scientific works. “Hopefully, we can develop simple things for innovation that will benefit our nation,” expressed Dr. Deni. Additionally, this initiative provided a new experience for laboratory assistants accustomed to guiding university students. Guiding high school students to understand organic chemistry experiments proved to be quite challenging. “It’s something fresh for us because we are used to assisting students with a chemistry background. Guiding high school students requires us to convey instructions in simple language,” explained Ais, one of the organic chemistry laboratory assistants.

For the students, this practical activity proved to be intriguing. “I had never properly mixed chemical solutions before, and this is something new for me. In the future, I am becoming interested in chemistry, and I will gain a lot of knowledge. I wasn’t particularly fond of chemistry before, but now I like it,” explained Kanaya, a first-year student. For students with an interest in chemistry, this activity was a valuable experience. “I can understand how laboratory procedures work and the technique of mixing chemical solutions. This is important for me, as I enjoy chemistry. The activities were conducted in a non-boring manner,” shared Bauthista, also a first-year student.

“When people hear the word ‘chemistry’ the connotation is often dangerous or frightening. However, the material present in this world is chemical substances, just like the main components of our bodies, namely water, and the food we consume is also a chemical substance. Through these practical activities, the hope is to broaden awareness that not all chemicals are hazardous and to introduce the enjoyable and non-challenging side of chemistry. Additionally, we are very open to school visits to the Department of Chemistry, and we are ready to collaborate,” stated Dr. Deni, the Coordinator of Organic Chemistry Laboratory Work. “The hope is that students can excel in school, particularly in research. Furthermore, students are equipped with research competencies and critical thinking skills,” expressed Katrindia Farid Nugroho, S.Si., the Research Mentor of SMAN 1 Kediri. Farid also emphasized the importance of partnerships between schools and universities in improving the learning process. Referring to this, the introduction of organic chemistry laboratory work to students represents the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in quality education, preparing the younger generation for excellence in research, and fostering partnerships with educational institutions to continually synergize and enhance the quality of education.

Dukung Energi dan Nutrisi Mahasiswa Saat Ujian, FMIPA Kembali Hadirkan Sarapan Gratis

Sarapan atau makan pagi menjadi hal yang penting bagi mahasiswa dalam menjaga kondisi tubuh agar tetap prima terutama saat ujian berlangsung. Sayangnya, masih banyak mahasiswa yang mengabaikan sarapan karena faktor tidak sempat atau tidak terbiasanya makan pada pagi hari. Akibatnya, fenomena mahasiswa pingsan dan gejala kekurangan nutrisi kerap terjadi terutama saat musim ujian semester berlangsung. “Biasanya Saya antar mahasiswa ke GMC (Gadjah Mada Medical Center) itu hasil pemeriksaannya hanya kaliren (kelaparan) saja hehe. Setelah itu, Saya dibisikkan oleh dokternya untuk mengajak sarapan dahulu mahasiswanya”, kenang R. Saifuddin, selaku pegawai UGM yang berkontribusi dalam mengantarkan para mahasiswa ke klinik terdekat.

Setiap pagi saat musim ujian, mahasiswa dapat menikmati sarapan gratis yang telah disediakan di Gedung Perkuliahan S1 FMIPA UGM. Lebih dari 200 porsi sarapan tersedia dengan nutrisi yang mencukupi. “Ya kalau di sini menunya ganti-ganti. Dulu ada nasi bungkus dengan telur dan sayur. Terus ini juga ada teh hangat”, papar R. Saifuddin yang juga mengatur distribusi sarapan pagi untuk mahasiswa saat ditemui pada hari Jumat (15/12). Beliau juga menambahkan bahwa terdapat keterlibatan Dharma Wanita FMIPA UGM yang selaras dengan arahan Dekan FMIPA UGM untuk mendukung kelancaran mahasiswa saat ujian melalui penyediaan sarapan pagi.

Hadirnya sarapan pagi bagi mahasiswa di FMIPA UGM harapannya menjadi pendukung mereka khususnya dalam meningkatkan kebiasaan makan pagi untuk kesehatan. Selain itu, peran FMIPA UGM dalam mendukung energi dan nutrisi mahasiswa tersebut juga selaras dengan SDGs atau Tujuan Pembangunan Keberlanjutan khususnya pada poin kesehatan, berakhirnya kelaparan, dan pendidikan. Dengan demikian, sarapan pagi yang mendukung energi dan nutrisi mahasiswa diharapkan mampu meningkatkan daya belajar dan konsentrasi saat ujian berlangsung.
