UGM students Savira Noor Febry, Risa Dewi Ariani, and Ulayya Zahiyatul Arifin from the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, and Tasnim Arma Fauzia and Naufal Habibi from the Faculty of Engineering developed entrepreneurial training for students at the Pondok Tetirah Dzikir Rehabilitation Institution through training on making tie-dye batik and eco prints. Students at the boarding school are also taught how to market their products. “Hopefully, the profits from the sale of these products can help increase the operational funds of the boarding school, which so far relies a lot on outside donations,” said Savira in a release sent Tuesday (19/10).

According to Savira, Islamic boarding schools, in general, have potential that can be developed from human resources and other resources available at the boarding school. The training activity involved students who had made tie-dye batik and eco print several times. The students produced about 40 tie-dye batik T-shirts and several meters of eco print. “Marketing activities have resulted in selling out 17 tie-dye batik T-shirts,” said Savira while mentioning that the program was implemented in the context of the Community Empowerment-based Student Creativity Program (PKM).

According to Savira, the santri with the PKM team also organize sustainable, independent business units. In managing this business unit, students are positioned in various fields such as marketing, production, distribution, and trainers. The team and students marketed the products on Instagram to facilitate promotion and collaboration. “In marketing activities, it has successfully reached several influencers,” he explained.

Rizal as the person in charge and administrator of the Pondok Tetirah Dzikir Rehabilitation Center said that this project could give the students the entrepreneurial spirit and new skills. “The students are more able to express their emotions through eco print and tie-dye batik media,” he said.

Rizal hopes that this program could create an entrepreneurial climate within the Pondok Tetirah Dhikr Rehabilitation Center so that it has additional income beyond external donations. But more than that, this program also maximizes and improves the students’ skills through tie-dye batik, eco print, and marketing. “After returning to the community, we hope that the students can live independently as independent individuals,” he concluded.

Stroke is an emergency in neuroscience. The golden period for stroke treatment is essential in dealing with stroke. The best time to treat stroke lies in the first ± 4 hours after the stroke symptoms first appear, which is one of the determinants of the stroke patient’s recovery. If stroke patients can be treated within the golden period of treatment, the possibility of recovery will be greater, and the recovery results will be better.

To deal with stroke using the tips above, the UGM Academic Hospital (RSA) has prepared qualified facilities and services to get the best results. A neuroscientist at RSA UGM, Dr. Farida Niken Astari Nugroho Hati, said stroke patients at the UGM RSA would receive priority treatment in the ER UGM RSA.

“Stroke patients are given priority because it will determine the patient’s future (healing),” said doctor Niken in a talk show entitled “Integrated Stroke Service of UGM RSA – Tik Talk Eps. 13′, published on the UGM Academic Hospital YouTube channel on Monday (18/10).

Doctor Niken said that the medical personnel at the UGM RSA had received training to treat stroke patients. Moreover, every facility at the UGM RSA for stroke treatment has also been integrated, starting from the Emergency Room, CT Scan facilities, laboratories, and many others. RSA UGM has prepared medical treatment management quickly and responsively.

Doctor Niken explained that upon arrival at the emergency room at RSA UGM, stroke patients would be diagnosed by medical personnel quickly. After the patient was confirmed for a stroke, the patient was immediately taken to the radiology room for Computed Tomography (CT) Scan of the head. The CT scan will let us know what type of stroke the patient has and how to treat it. In addition, the laboratory is in a standby position if further diagnosis is necessary to carry out.

“Strokes are broadly divided into two types, (i.e.) bleeding strokes and clotting strokes, with very different and contradictory therapies,” explained Doctor Niken.

After the type of stroke is known, the patient is immediately treated and placed in a special unit for stroke. Doctor Niken explained that the ward for stroke patients is different from the common ward or ICU room. It is so to provide monitoring services necessary for stroke treatment.

“In the stroke unit, vital signs will be monitored, such as blood pressure, pulse, breathing, and oxygen saturation. Here the monitor will be installed later: to see if there is any worsening (bleeding etc.) or improvement. There are many patients in the general room, but in the stroke unit with relatively less capacity, patients will be better monitored because nurses’ observations in the stroke unit can be more focused,” concluded Doctor Niken.
