FPIK, SEMARANG – For Ranny Ramadhani Yuneni, having a desire to participate in preserving the marine world was felt since he studied at Diponegoro University (UNDIP) in 2009. When she was a student of the Marine Science Study Program, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) UNDIP, Ranny felt that his choice was right and he really fell in love with the ocean. Therefore, after graduating, the woman who was born in Cilacap on March 20, 1991, chose to be totally active in the marine sector. Since 2013, she has chosen to work for WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) Indonesia. “Currently I am a member of WWF Indonesia in the Marine and Fisheries Program in Indonesia, specifically coordinating Shark and Ray Conservation Specialists,” said Ranny in an interview, Thursday (15/7/2021).

Ranny, who is currently completing her Masters Study Program (S2) in Postgraduate Environmental Science at Udayana University Bali, admitted that she worked on marine species issues, especially Marine Megafauna such as Sharks and Rays. Having spent more than nine years in conservation and marine activities, this alumni of SMA N 2 Tangerang admitted that her determination to enter this field was stronger after joining the Marine Diving Club (MDC) as a member of class XVII since 2010.

“After that, I explored diving in many waters inside and outside Indonesia with at least >450 logs dives with Advance OW PADI level. In starting my career, I was placed in a quite remote area in Raja Ampat Papua to educate children about the importance of loving and caring for coral reefs and sharks in the ocean,” she said of his experience. For her love and consistency in caring for species in the sea, when he was 20 years old, Ranny was named a Manta Ambassador to support the periodic research of Manta Rays in the Komodo Islands, East Nusa Tenggara in 2013. Since then he has been increasingly consistent in supporting the government in managing Sharks and Rays sustainably.

She also continues to innovate in the development of marine species bycatch mitigation technology with the aim of increasing the survival rate of these species caught by catch. In addition, she also supports several researches on the carrying capacity of diving tourism in marine protected areas and actively plays a role in the campaign to reduce shark consumption at WWF Indonesia, known as the #SOSharks Campaign.

“As an alumnus of UNDIP, I am very proud. I got a lot of marine knowledge on campus which is very helpful in the activities that I do now. For me, the meaning of success is being able to share knowledge as widely as possible and being able to play a role in “mainstreaming” marine species, especially sharks and rays in Indonesia,” explained the female alumni of SMP N 1 Tangerang.

Her involvement in research or research on the marine world is now also getting more intense. In the Shark-Stingray conservation program involving more than 60 students, for example, the scope of activities has spread from the western to the eastern parts of Indonesia. No wonder her name is listed in various publications such as theses, theses and journals at 22 universities in Indonesia; also its contribution in providing marine data nationally. Ranny also continues to actively initiate the implementation of the Indonesian Shark-Stingray which will be held from 2015 to 2021. In this forum, more than 350 national and regional researches have been presented, ranging from biology-ecology, socio-economics, and conservation-management. Ranny is also active in the Threatened Species Working Group (TSWG) CTI-CFF which covers six (6) countries in the world’s coral reef triangle area.

During her career, the woman who has become a member of the Shark Specialist Group (SSG) Asia (previously only Southeast Asia) International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2016 was recognized as Women in Conservation in DIVE Magazine United Kingdom, and from WWF- Singapore in the issue of saving species, especially the Manta Ray (manta rescue issue) and other marine species. “I am very happy, this is a great award in my career. It is not easy to get an award that was initiated from abroad,” said Ranny, who has also had an internship at Species Endaged, Thretened and Protected (ETP) East Java, Maluku to Dobo – Aru Islands.

Suggestions for UNDIP students in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, Ranny said, so that students often open the Linkedin page, continue to expand networks/networking from all lines, be it government, academics, NGOs/NGOs, and the private sector. “In addition, don’t forget that FPIK UNDIP alumni are also scattered everywhere, so asking or communicating with alumni is also very helpful for current students to provide insight. Cheer up!” she concluded. (Source: undip.ac.id | Tim Humas UNDIP)

Djoko Hartoyo UNDIP Alumni Who Is Trusted to Become Assistant Deputy of the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment

Djoko Hartoyo UNDIP Alumni Who Is Trusted to Become Assistant Deputy of the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment

by | Jul 10, 2021 | Achievement, News

FPIK, SEMARANG – At the age of approximately 63 years, Diponegoro University (UNDIP) which was founded on January 9, 1957 as a Private University and only received the status of a State University in 1961 in its journey gave birth to many national figures. Some hold strategic positions in government. One of them is Djoko Hartoyo, a figure who is now trusted to be the Deputy Assistant (Asdep) for Regional Development Infrastructure of the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment (Kemenko Marinves) RI since 2019 until now.

Djoko, who is an alumni of the first batch and the first graduate of Marine Science and Technology (ITK) who is currently the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) UNDIP in 1992, was already in the ministry when he was still the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia (2014-2019). “Currently, my task in the government of President Jokowi is as Assistant Deputy for Regional Development Infrastructure of the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, RI. Its main task is to coordinate, synchronize and control all stakeholders,” said Djoko Hartoyo in an interview, Tuesday (6/7/2021).

In that position, he must coordinate with partners from other institutions, starting from the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR), the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP), Provincial and Regency / City Governments. “So if we solve the problem, for example to build a road through production forest, then there is PUPR, in this case Bina Marga, there is the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, which in this case is the Directorate General of Planning and KSDAE, and the local government,” explained the man born in Cilacap, October 20, 1968.

Most recently, Djoko, who is also an alumnus of the Master in Marine Sciences, University of South New Wales, Sydney – Australia 2002 is busy handling the new industrial and urban development of Rebana (Cirebon-Patimban-Kertajati) which will start working on July 2021. A total of 88 priority infrastructure projects prepared for regional development with a budget allocation of Rp 240,75 trillion.

“We are still waiting for the Presidential Regulation which is the legal basis for the development of the Rebana area. If the Presidential Regulation is issued, we will immediately move, although we are still preparing and maturation of the Tambourine area development program,” said Djoko, who also took the Professional Engineer Program, UGM in 2020.

According to him, another program that must be handled is the construction and rehabilitation of several reservoirs. The program, which is part of the integrated area development, involves collaboration between the central and local governments, including budget support from the APBN, APBD, BUMN, BUMD, and the private sector. “Until 2022, we focus on preparation. So far, the main problem with infrastructure projects is land. This will be a major concern,” he added.

Djoko Hartoyo, who is now the Head of the UNDIP Marine and Oceanography Alumni Family (KEKAL) admits that the provisions he has obtained from his alma mater have greatly helped him in career development. To be sure, he was very impressed while studying at the UNDIP campus. While studying at UNDIP he was introduced to many things, especially in Marine Science and Technology. “As an alumni, I would like to thank UNDIP as an institution that has helped shape my character and expertise. Especially to the lecturers who have always guided him to become what he is today. It’s something I’m grateful for,” he said.

Reflecting on his career journey, Djoko, who has often received awards both nationally and internationally, suggested that UNDIP students, especially juniors who had to study in the midst of a pandemic, were able to adapt to current conditions. “You must actively build networks and continue to seek knowledge that will become your provision after completing your studies. During a pandemic, knowledge can be obtained from webinars, online lectures, meetings on Zoom, and more. UNDIP must also open up to be able to synergize and collaborate with alumni who are currently working in various places. Don’t lose your enthusiasm for learning even though we are experiencing a pandemic,” said Djoko, who is also a frequent speaker at national and international seminars.

Regarding the meaning of success, according to him it is relative. The main thing to do now is how to build enthusiasm in learning. Whatever the goal must be a motivation for life. “Alhamdulillah, my dream of high school can be achieved. Currently I am still in echelon 2, I pray that soon I will be able to compete for the position of echelon 1,” said Djoko, who has written several books. (Source: undip.ac.id | Tim Humas UNDIP)

FPIK Students and Japanese Students Repair Coral Reefs in Karimunjawa

FPIK Students and Japanese Students Repair Coral Reefs in Karimunjawa

by | Jun 21, 2021 | News

FPIK, SEMARANG – Lecture activities as well as training and certification of Diving Skills held by the Marine Science Study Program, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) of Diponegoro University (UNDIP) in the Karimunjawa Islands, Jepara Regency should be supported. The reason is, the program that has been running for four years from 2016 to 2019 through collaboration with Kwansei Gakuin University (KGU) Japan is quite attractive to both regular students and foreign students.

Lecturer of Marine Sciences FPIK UNDIP, Dr. Munasik, when interviewed by telephone, Friday (19/6/2021), said the training program called Introduction to Scientific Diving has been running for 4 years since 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and was stopped due to the virus pandemic. corona (Covid-19).

He said that this training activity is a Summer Lecture, the Summer Course is rewarded with 1-2 Semester Credit Units (SKS). “Initially, in 2016 the Marine Science Study Program issued a credit transfer of 1 credit for Japanese students. Because it lasted more than 10 days, Japanese students who took part in the training and then got a Student Identity Card (KTM) from the Bureau of Academic and Student Administration (BAAK),” added Munasik.

He also explained that the learning achievement of this activity is that students are able to dive in SCUBA and are certified as Open Water Divers from the Association of Diving School International (ADS-I). In addition, the lecturers also provide lecture materials on tropical marine ecosystems, namely coral reefs, mangroves and seagrasses. “We also educate them to care about marine ecosystems, visit coastal ecosystems and small islands and be involved in repairing coral reefs,” he explained.

Students are also invited to do coral transplantation on artificial APR (Artificial Patch Reef) reef substrates that have been prepared. Every diver who carries out coral transplantation puts up a sign, tagging a name so that it resembles a coral adoption program. “It turns out that the divers have a deep impression of this activity and hope that the transplanted coral fragments can grow and in the future they can witness the growth of the coral colonies. This will encourage participatory tourism programs, tourists will be interested in their next visit,” said the UNDIP Artificial Habitat Research Group Coordinator.

According to him, this artificial reef tourism program will have the potential as an alternative underwater tourism object and will have an impact on the variety of tourism objects in Karimunjawa because it can be installed in various shallow water locations on small islands in Karimunjawa. This program is also community-based by involving the community in providing coral fragments for adoption by tourists. “This underwater tourist attraction can also educate the public and tourists to be environmentally aware. And of course, artificial reef tourism objects can contribute to improving the coral reef ecosystem in a sustainable manner,” he said.

Why choose Karimunjawa? Munasik said, because there is the only tropical marine ecosystem site that is complete and still preserved. He also said that when he visited KGU Senda Japan, in early 2018, this program was very popular and a favorite for KGU students, besides being expensive it was also very challenging. They must be able to swim and be healthy.

As a result, the number of foreign students participating in Scientific Diving has increased from year to year from 4 students with 2 assistant professors and admins, then increased to 8 people plus assistants. “This program should be a model for the edu-ecotourism tourism package that is unique to Karimunjawa so that it will have an economic impact on the people of Karimunjawa. Because we combine diving training, choralogy lectures and ecotourism. What is it, the results of our research product called APR artificial reefs can become a new underwater tourist attraction for tourists,” he hoped. (Source: undip.ac.id | Tim Humas UNDIP)

Times Higher Education Asia University Rankings 2021: UNDIP is ranked 6th in Indonesia

Times Higher Education Asia University Rankings 2021: UNDIP is ranked 6th in Indonesia

by | Jun 7, 2021 | Achievement, News

FPIK, SEMARANG -​ Times Higher Education (THE) again issued ranking results for the Asian level in early June 2021. The results put Diponegoro University (UNDIP) in 6th position in Indonesia and 401+ in Asia. The Times Higher Education Asia University Rankings 2021 uses 13 performance indicators that are also used to carry out a global ranking by providing specially calibrated weights to reflect the priorities of educational institutions in Asia.

The strict assessment carried out by THE made only 9 universities in Indonesia that managed to enter the rankings based on the ranking order, namely the University of Indonesia, Bandung Institute of Technology, Surabaya Institute of Technology, Gadjah Mada University, Bogor Agricultural University, Diponegoro University, Padjadjaran University, Telkom University and Brawijaya University. University of Indonesia is in the top position with a total score of 32,9. THE assesses 13 performance indicators covering four main missions of higher education, namely teaching, research, transfer of knowledge to the wider community and international engagement. This year, UNDIP managed to achieve a fairly high score on citations and research.

UNDIP is in the 401+ position with an overall range of 12,9-21,6 and an overall calculation of 19,8. Citation 15; industrial income (transfer of knowledge to the industrial world); 43,2, international outlook (calculated based on the ratio of the number of teachers, students, foreign staff and international cooperation) 26,5; research 12,8 and teaching 24,9.

The Head of the UNDIP Rating Office, Prof. Dr. Denny Nugroho, ST., M.Si, said that THE refers to the order of letters (alphabet) for the group with the same range, namely 401+ with an overall score of 12,9-21,6. Meanwhile, if the data is calculated and analyzed based on the Citation (30%), Industry income (7,5%), International outlook (7,5%), Research (30%), Teaching (25%), then the total score of UNDIP is 19,8 so that it ranks 6th nationally. 

“We have done the calculations and sorted based on the total score. If we are not careful and careful we can misinterpret it. Some media usually only look at the order on the website to see the ranking order,” said Prof. Denny Nugroho, Sunday (6/6/2021).

The current ranking results are one of the important references used by students and their families in choosing a university. The government and universities also use THE ranking results as a reference for various policies. The high need for ranking results is evidenced by the high number of visits to the THE World University Rankings website, where in a year the number of visits reaches almost 30 million.

UNDIP Chancellor, Prof. Dr. Yos Johan Utama, SH., M.Hum, emphasized that the university he currently leads continues to make improvements so that the qualifications of graduates and their learning process are getting better and in accordance with the goals outlined. “We continue to encourage the qualifications of lecturers with the one professor one candidate program. For research, not only lecturers and researchers who continue to produce reputable scientific works, we also encourage and facilitate students so that they can produce innovative works that are beneficial to the community, “said Prof. Yos Johan.

University performance is important in preparing superior human resources, as well as developing knowledge. As an illustration of how important it is to strengthen higher education institutions, the Japanese government announced plans to increase the allocation of an endowment fund of £70 billion for research at universities in response to the rising performance of public universities’ rankings which had fallen in recent years.
