Alumni of Universitas Padjadjaran stated that they are ready to synergize with every elements in Universitas Padjadjaran to develop their

performance in 2018. Alumni have important role in developing Unpad performance on national or international level.

The commitment was stated by a number of Unpad alumni in “Hospitality and Dialogue of Unpad for The Future” at Nursing

Faculty Hall, Jatinangor, Saturday (13/01). This event was attended by alumni, members of the Board of Trustees, and a number of academicians. At the event, there was also Director General of Learning and Student Affairs, Ministry of Technical Research and Higher Education Prof. Intan Ahmad.

Deputy VI of Communication and Information of National Intelligence Agency, Sundawan Salya, expressed his consideration to contribute in improving the performance of Unpad. He considered, the alumni should have strong militancy for the almamater. Various important positions held by alumni today should be utilized to spread the potential of Unpad.

In the event, a number of alumni also gave a boost related to Unpad development plan ing 2018. Sapta

Nirwandar who had served as chairman of Unpad Alumni Association 2012-2016 said, the work of alumni of Unpad at national and international level is not doubted anymore.

“We must have communication strategy to unify the alumni of Unpad,” said Sapta.

Building strong communication and community relationships is one of Sapta’s suggestions. This alumnus of Faculty of Economics and Business said that many achievements of Unpad are good but not many have been announced.

He also considered that Unpad’s potential in particular has not been effectively delivered, both at the national and international levels. In fact, at the international level, many ambassadors of Indonesia are Unpad‟s alumni. Therefore, he encouraged Unpad to be able to map the potential of alumni at the international level.

“Actually, there are a lot of ambassadors who are Unpad‟s alumni. We can use it for as benefit to Unpad, West Java, and national, “said Sapta.

Secretary General of the Ministry of Social of Republic of Indonesia, Harry Z. Soeratin also expressed his understanding. As one of alumnus of Unpad, at Faculty of Economics and Business, he said

that Unpad‟s alumni network is quite potential but has not yet been seen as a whole unit. There should be an initiation to communicate with alumni related to what has been and which should be developed by Unpad in the future.

Talking about communication pattern and community relationship initiated by Sapta, Harry confirmed that these two strategies are important to be strengthened by Unpad. Former Head of Public Relations Bureau at the Ministry of Finance said that almost all of government institutions in Indonesia have not built a pattern of public relations well.

“It can be raised on the international level because it deals with nationality and nationalism.” said Prof. Aidul.

The establishment of strong relationship between alumni and alma mater becomes one of the factors to improve the quality of universities. Vice Chairman of the Financial Transaction Reporting and Analysis Center of Republic of Indonesia, Dian Erdiana Rae mentioned that the reputable name of universities in the world is caused by a strong relationship with its alumni.

Dian further said that Unpad has to contribute in fostering the character of students. (Continued on page 2)

Rector of Universitas Padjadjaran Prof. Tri Hanggono explained a number of Unpad achievements achieved in 2017. Outline,

achievements from some indicator focus in this year experienced a significant enhancement.

During his speech in front of university leaders and faculty leaders held in Pantai Indah Resort Hotel, Pangandaran, on Thursday (7/12) at night, the rector said, from several performance indicators, beside it, they choose several indicators that have a strong leverage and derivative. One of the indicators which are highlighted is the capacity of human resources.

The first thing that rector explained is about the ratio of lecturers and students. In this year, the ratio of lecturers and students in Unpad is on a good level, although they are having disparity ratio between faculties.

“If we are not careful, we will not have a good performance,” the rector said.

The capacity of current lecturers increased their quality. Currently, a number of lecturers with a doctorate degree in every faculty in Unpad still experience disparity. For that, Unpad should encourage their lecturers who don’t have a doctorate degree to take a further study.

There is an effort from Unpad to facilitate further study for all lecturers. Human resources development became authorized capital. Rector explains, begin from next semester to encourage all lecturers in Unpad to have a doctoral degree.

For taking further studies, encourage lecturers to

take their further study abroad. Although, future college students who don’t get a scholarship, Unpad ready to facilitate them. Rector said if lecturers still don’t have a chance to take their further study to abroad, so they should take their further studies in Unpad.

“Lecturers who advanced their further study in Unpad still have to give the same outcomes as lecturers who advanced their study abroad. At least, they have three international scientific publications. As a result, human capital enhancement jacks up the performance of academic” he explained.

On the other side, the promoter of S-3 program will be comprehensive. Unpad will appoint promoter candidate head lecturer lector who has grant research. One of promoter programs should be from abroad.

Unpad targets, in 2019, Unpad is expected to have no lecturer who still holds S-1. And in the next 2020, Unpad is expected to have no lecture not educated as doctor.

Improvement of Scientific Publications

In the sector of scientific publications, Unpad has increased the number of publications at the international level. A total of 431 scientific articles were published in the Scopus-indexed journal

as of December 6, 2017. Of these, 348 publications are pure articles generated from internal scientific research and writing.

Rector said the number is dominated by research that is in Quartile (Q) 1 to 4. Quartile itself is a cluster of journal quality. Being at that level exerts a strong influence, especially on the index of citation and upgrading of academic positions. This scientific publication is deemed important when associated with the H-Index, or an index of the productivity measurement of scholarly work of an

academic.The Rector said that the publication generated

from the proceedings of international seminars has little effect on the H-Index. The higher the standard set, the standard of Doctor Program promoter in Unpad is also more comprehensive.

In addition to being required to have research activities, prospective promoters are also encouraged to have an H-Index and experience of international publications. The stricter the standard aims to make students more “safe” in running academic activities in Unpad. The Rector is also optimistic that this standard will be a strong attraction for S-3 applicants.

Target 2018Rector also conveyed the target and planning

of Unpad in 2018. One aspect of planning in the field of student affairs activity, student activity unit (UKM) will be hold by one faculty. The faculty is then responsible for the achievements of SMEs concerned.

“For example, SME Futsal is hold by the Faculty of Cultural Sciences (FIB). That is, all futsal activities at the university level and faculty must be managed by FIB, “said Rector.

With this integration, it is hoped that there will be no student activity unit that works individually. “Hopefully SME governance can be shaded by faculty,” said Rector

2017 ACHIEVEMENTS, THE NUMBER OF PUBLICATION INTERNATIONAL UNPAD HAS INCREASED

The implementation of moral values through the course will encourage the alumni to have character and be able to adhere to the principle. It is expected to eradicate all dirty practices in the country administration. (Continued on page 2)

Chairman of the Judicial Commission of the Republic of Indonesia, Dr Abdul Fitriciada Azhari, said that Unpad needs to have the characteristic that became the identity of the institution. Alumnus Faculty of Law said, one of the greatest heritages of Unpad and West Java is the concept of Insight Archipelago presented by Prof. Mochtar Kusumaatmadja. This concept will remain relevant as Indonesia’s territorial foundation.

Prof. Aidul encouraged Unpad to continue to pass on the spirit of Prof. Mochtar Kusumaatmadja’s notion. The development of the study centre related to the concept of the insight of the archipelago should be developed by Unpad. It aims to keep this concept in the hands of both Indonesian and international citizens.

Culturalist Iwan R.A Abdulrachman became the finale of various inputs from the alumni. This Unpad

Hymn Composer said every alumnus has the potential that can be given to Unpad. The statement of several alumni related to the number of Unpad’s alumni who fill important positions convinced Iwan that Unpad has a great power that is still buried.

“We have a debt to Unpad, because Unpad has given us quality. How we give to Unpad, it is our own initiative,” said Iwan.

Alumni Have ContributionUnpad Rector Prof. Tri Hanggono Achmad said

that various inputs from the alumni play a role in the development of Unpad in the future. The role of alumni, one of which is measured as an indicator of University ranking QS university ranking version. In this ranking, the reputation of alumni in the professional world becomes the determinant of ranking.

On this occasion, the Rector conveyed the achievements of Unpad as the State University of Legal Entity in 2017 in academic, research, institutional, strengthening the information centre to

the community. He also invited the audience to return the pattern of Unpad Scientific Principal Patterns. “Bina Mulia’s Law and Environment in National Development”.

Rector said Unpad should give a stronger contribution to society. One out of the many contributions is built from the participation of alumni.

Prof. Intan Ahmad appreciated the event initiated by the chairman of MWA Unpad Rudiantara, as State University of Legal Entity, Unpad is expected to participate in moving the wheels of the economy. In addition, bearing the status of State Universities Legal Entity means that it needs to prove to the public about what is resulted by the college can be beneficial to the community.

“By gathering the stakeholders, this will make the position in Unpad even better, so Unpad and other universities in Indonesia will contribute to the community If Unpad is good, the neighbors will be good again The Scientific Pattern of the Principal must be really lifted so it has the advantage comparative, “Prof.’s message.*

Universitas Padjadjaran (Unpad) improves the intensity of collaboration activity with

Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). Beside organizing a one-in-two-years event, the Indonesia-Malaysia Cultural Symposium (SKIM), since 1985, collaboration is also conducted in order to strengthen research and the three main points of higher institution (Tridarma Perguruan Tinggi Negeri) aspects.

This improvement of collaboration activitity is marked by the signature in Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) from Universitas Padjadjaran and UKM, which was held during the SKIM XV event, took place in Grha Sanusi Hardjadinata Unpad, Dipati Ukur No. 35, Bandung on Wednesday, 29 November 2017. The signature comes from Vice Rector of Research, Community Service, Cooperation, and Academic Corporation from Universitas Padjadjaran, Dr. Keri Lestari, M.Si., Apt., and Vice Counselor from UKM, Prof. Dr. Mohd Ekhwan Toriman.

The event organizer of SKIM XV, Dr. Santoso Tri Rahardjo, M.Si., said that there are 4 main collaboration aspects that will be carried out between Unpad and UKM. The 4 aspects are including learning, research, community service, and student’s affair.

“This exchange (collaboration) is important to increase higher education reputation, and also for countries in Asia,” said Dr. Santoso during the first day of SKIM XV, Wednesday, 29 November 2017

Dr. Santoso gave details that the beginning step of this collaboration would be an exchange for lecturers. UKM itself has offered Unpad to be the academic learning coordinator for UKM. This means that Unpad’s academic civil (civitas academica) who wants to continue their education will not be required to present in Malaysia. They may continue their study in Unpad instead.

“Student candidate shall not go as far as to UKM. They may study in Unpad, but the lecturers from

UKM will be here (Unpad) as they will rent rooms in Unpad. Then the certificate of study later will be given from UKM.”

Moreover, the Vice Dean of Academic, Student’s Affair, and Cooperation in Faculty of Social and Political

Science (FISIP) explained, Unpad may open academic program in UKM campus. This opening will have the same system as offered by UKM.

In the other side, this collaboration on students exchange will have UKM attention too. Until this moment, Unpad and UKM are still preparing the mechanism and curriculum adjustment.

Until now, the collaboration that has been done between Unpad and UKM was visiting professor program, joint research, and article writing for joint publication. Not only in FISIP, the collaboration with UKM has also been built by other faculties such as between Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) Unpad and

Faculty of Science and Technology UKM.“This has been established for so long. We do not

want to feel the smartest,” said Dr. Santoso.The organization of SKIM itself is a consistent

implementation of collaboration between Unpad and UKM during more than 30 years. Dr. Santoso viewed, SKIM brings many benefits, particularly for academician peers. “From publication wise, it is increasing,” he said shortly.*

Yogurt is one of the most popular beverages in the world. Having a distinctive sour taste, this fermented milk product is well consumed

because it has many benefits to increase the body’s metabolism.

In the Indonesian market, yoghurt is generally made using two types of microbes namely,

Streptococcus thermopilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, whose main benefits for digestion. Interestingly, the function of eating yoghurt is not only limited to digestion. Yoghurt can have a good impact on other health functions.

For the professor of Faculty of Animal Husbandry Universitas Padjadjaran Prof. Dr. Lovita Adriani, Ir., M.S., in addition to healthful, yoghurt has benefits to improve the various parameters of blood biochemistry and serves as a natural antibiotic. This is what makes Prof. Lovita is interested in researching yoghurt for nearly 20 years.

According to Porf. Lovita, a good and healthy yoghurt will be obtained if the good bacteria content and the balance of the formulation are considered. She paid attention to most of the yoghurt products that circulate in the Indonesian market today generally contain two bacteria.

“Two good bacteria in yoghurt actually have produced enough benefits, but not maximal yet.” Lovita when found by Unpad Public Relation in Faculty of Animal Husbandry.

The Professor of animal physiology also as biochemistry teacher explained that actually not all microbes are pathogenic (bacteria which causes a disease). There are some microbes that can reduce the population of pathogenic bacteria. Results of several research collaborations in other countries find and conclude that one of pathogenic bacteria’s functions is to prevent colon cancer, reduce symptoms of gastric inflammation (stomach ulcer), enhance immunity and improve metabolism.

Based on those facts, she tried to apply the use of non-pathogenic bacteria as a competitor of pathogenic bacteria in her yoghurt product findings.

One that has been applied is by addingBifidobacterium, Lactobacillus acidophilus and other

microbes in the right dosage.Therefore, Prof. Lovita’s yoghurt findings have

levels of non-pathogenic bacteria with amount exceeding the terms, i.e. more than 109/ml. The increasing number of reliable non-pathogenic bacteria will reduce the number of pathogenic bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. This will improve the gastrointestinal ecosystem and eventually improve health.

Some researchers explain that yogurt is also a natural antibiotic. The professor born in Pekalongan, July 27th 1954 has used it to prevent sore throat for children. She tried to replace milk consumption with yoghurt to some children. The result shows that children who consume yoghurt regularly more likely to protected from inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract.

Currently, Prof. Lovita and researchers from other several fields of science in Unpad are developing yogurt products that serve as anti-aging. Some researchers explained earlier that the process of aging can be delayed in several ways. One of the safest ways is to consume probiotic yogurt with a right balance.

This yoghurt development utilizing fermented milk with a mixture of milk derived from nuts. Nuts are rich in phytoestrogens, or a compound that is structurally similar to estrogen. For women who have reached menopause will have a number of low estrogen content, so that there will be a wide variety of diseases, such as osteoporosis to cell damage that occurs in the cytoplasm and nucleus. The content of phytoestrogens is expected to compensate for the lack of estrogen for women so it will be more fit.

Other content in nuts are important in this research is the isoflavones. Lactic acid bacteria have a very important role in improving the digestibility of isoflavones. This increase is due to the activity of enzymes in microbes that can hydrolyze isoflavones into aglycon compounds are easily absorbed by the intestine.

Until now, the research is successful ferment to become aglycon isoflavones. In the next few months, this study will reveal success.

Not only for humans, Prof. Lovita also use yogurt to produce chicken meat low in fat and cholesterol. Chickens have been given yogurt with a certain dose was able to reduce cholesterol and fat content of the meat is up to 25%.

“When consumed by humans, it means we have to provide healthy food that can be consumed by a group of people who are sensitive to fat and cholesterol,” said Prof. Lovita.

Prof. Lovita is also researching the function of yogurt to inhibit the proliferation of Salmonella bacteria in dealing with typhoid. In addition, she is also producing yoghurt in capsule form which useful for people who have sensitive digestion system. Her homemade yoghurt has also been welded by Unpad under the brand “Lovita Unpad”.

Prof. Lovita’s interest in yoghurt was started when she was a student at Fapet Unpad in 1973. Its weird and sour taste that time became the initial interest Prof. Lovita towards yoghurt.

In 1990s, based on information from the Media, Indonesia was one of the countries which has the fourth highest number of colon cancer sufferer in the world. She began researching about yoghurt. When completing hef doctoral program at the Bandung Institute of Technology, Prof.

Lovita’ dissertation managed to produce a significant reduction in the number of pathogenic bacteria in the colon.

Aside from producing her independent yoghurt products, her various studies have been published and delivered at various seminars at national and international levels.

By becoming one of the businessman in the field of yogurt -besides of her main task as a lecturer, Prof. Lovita hopes her yogurt products can be one of the efforts to improve the health of Indonesian people and prevent them from various diseases.
