DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A CORN SHELLING MACHINE WITH A CAPACITY OF 80KG/HOUR USING A COMBO ENGINE

Samuel Haris Purba, Saut Pardede
Abstract: This study discusses the design and construction of a corn sheller with a capacity of 80 kg/hour using an internal combustion engine . A corn sheller is a machine that functions to shell corn to separate the corn kernels… from the corn cobs. In Indonesia, corn is available in abundance in rural areas, especially during the harvest season. In the production process, generally, during the shelling process, many farmers still use the shelling method by hand or using simple tools, which takes quite a long time. The reason people still use the shelling method by hand or using tools is because the price of the machine is too expensive and they are not even aware of the existence of a corn shelling machine. This corn shelling machine with a 5.5 HP internal combustion engine is a tool designed to speed up and simplify the corn shelling process efficiently and produce a fairly large production capacity of 80 kg / hour. To extend the service life of this corn shelling machine, maintenance and cleanliness should be carried out so that the machine can operate optimally without problems. Safety also needs to be considered to avoid unexpected work accidents.

Abstract: This research uses Pre-Experimental Design without control group with One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The study was conducted in March 2021 in two districts that were confirmed to be inhabited by COVID-19 positive residents&#8230; idents (Johan Pahlawan District and Meureubo District), West Aceh, Indonesia. Statistical analysis used: Hand-washing is one way to prevent COVID-19 transmission. This is essential because in this global pandemic, every community has the opportunity to catch COVID 19. The research objective was to determine the effectiveness of WASH educational collaboration on farmers as an attempt to COVID-19 prevention. The population in the study is all farmers who live in these mentioned districts. There were 37 farmers in total. The sampling method used total sampling, namely 37 farmers who live in the areas that are confirmed to have positive patients of COVID 19. Data were analyzed using Univariate, Bivariate (Dependent T-test) and Multivariate with using logistic regression. The result shows that there is a significant influence between the collaboration of WASH Education on farmers as an effort to prevent COVID-19 with a statistical test value of P-Value <0.05. Collaboration on WASH education for farmers is very influential in preventing COVID-19. It is hoped that cross-sectoral involvement and roles can be maintained so that COVID 19 prevention behavior through WASH can continue to be applied. Educative collaboration of WASH impacts on the behaviour alteration toward farmers who live in the area confirmed to be infected by COVID 19.

Benefits of Using Organic Fertilizer for Soil Fertility

Fitrah, Hastirullah
Abstract: This paper aims to determine: 1) the Benefits of using organic fertilizers for soil fertility, and 2) Knowing about soil productivity as a medium for supporting plant growth. The research method qualitative approach, which&#8230; ch is a scientific approach that produces descriptive data in the form of written words from the narratives of the sources or objects under study. The results of this research is that in the current era of globalization, organic is very important for the development of people who want to live healthily and without damaging the surrounding environment by utilizing natural materials or the remnants of kitchen waste. So farmers are expected to be more aware and creative in the use of organic fertilizers and it is hoped that farmers' income will also increase.
