Many people consume eggs as a popular source of animal protein. The high demand for animal protein correlates with increased egg consumption. 

Therefore, clean and disease-free eggs are essential to prevent the spread of diseases that can affect public health, such as typhoid. 

“This disease occurs in eggs contaminated with Salmonella bacteria,” said Salma Nur Azizah, a 2022 UGM Faculty of Animal Science (Animal Science UGM) student, Thursday (Feb. 6).

In response to this issue, Azizah, along with fellow student Mohammad Rizky Zulfahmi, proposed using ultraviolet C (UV-C) light to combat Salmonella bacteria in the layer chicken farming industry. 

Azizah explained that UV-C light has the shortest wavelength among other ultraviolet rays. Based on various references they studied, UV-C light is strong enough to damage bacterial DNA, including Salmonella. 

“Using UV-C light to combat Salmonella contamination is an effective and simple method. UV-C light stops the growth of pathogenic bacteria by breaking their DNA chains,” she explained.

Zulfahmi added that the UV-C system designed to combat Salmonella bacteria consists of several parts: a control panel, sterilization plastic, egg tray, machine wheels, frame, gear wheels, conveyor belt, and UV-C light. 

Specifically, UV-C light can kill Salmonella bacteria in 10-15 minutes, depending on the wavelength and exposure time. 

“Installing UV-C light on the conveyor after grading can optimize time efficiency in industrial-scale operations. Therefore, it is important to introduce this UV-C sterilization method to the layer chicken farming industry to enhance food safety and quality,” Zulfahmi elaborated.

The creative idea from these two Animal Science students, under the supervision of Galuh Adi Insani, won 2nd place in the Poultry Literacy Competition held by Universitas Padjadjaran’s Poultry Professional Group from Aug. 27 to Sept. 26, 2024.

Ali Alexander, an undergraduate student from the Management program at the UGM Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB UGM), has become one of the university’s outstanding students. 

To date, he has achieved 41 victories in various national and international competitions throughout his studies at UGM.

Known as a student with strong principles, Alexander was tenacious and persistent in his learning journey. His success in numerous competitions was not easy; it was not a case of winning at the first attempt. 

He had to face multiple failures along the way. For him, failure and challenges are opportunities to grow, learn, and evolve further. With high resilience, Alexander has won 41 competitions during his studies, including 32 equity research competitions, 4 business plan competitions, and 5 business case competitions. 

“I failed seven times, but I kept learning from those failures, and eventually, I managed to win many times,” he said on Monday (Jan. 6).

Alexander is committed to living life without regrets. Hence, he constantly strives to engage in productive activities during his studies, one of which is participating in various competitions. By participating in competitions, he gains numerous learning opportunities.

Although he has participated in many competitions, Alexander admits that most are finance-related. He is highly interested in investment and finance, and this passion drives him to conduct many evaluations and stock research. 

“It all started in 2020 when I read and heard about the success story of Andika Sutoro Putra, a young billionaire and founder of FOLK Group. That’s what strongly fueled my interest in the world of investment,” he explained.

Andika Sutoro Putra’s success in achieving financial freedom at a young age inspired Alexander to delve deeper into the world of investment. He began learning about financial investments through various books, seminars, and YouTube videos. 

From these sources, he gained an understanding of company fundamentals, how to read financial statements, valuation, and company prospects and risks.

Alexander’s interest in finance and investment grew even more when he began his studies at FEB UGM in 2021. Since becoming a student, he has actively participated in various finance competitions. Although his early attempts were not smooth, and he faced some failures, he persevered. 

“Keep trying, never give up, and keep learning. That’s the key to staying motivated,” the student admitted.

Alexander considers himself fortunate to have met Dr. Eddy Junarsin, a lecturer from the Department of Management at FEB UGM, in his third semester. That meeting, according to Alexander, broadened his understanding of finance significantly. 

“I learned even more about valuation, which became the key to winning in equity research competitions,” he revealed.

Balancing lectures, internships, and actively participating in various competitions is certainly not easy for students. The same applies to Alexander, who manages his time well and sets clear priorities. 

“Because this is my hobby, I voluntarily conduct stock analysis and participate in competitions during my free time. I am grateful that the asset allocation material I received during my lectures has further strengthened my understanding of the investment world,” he said.

Alexander is also happy to share some tips for students who wish to start participating in competitions. 

According to him, the most important thing is not to be afraid to try and to understand that failure is part of the learning process. Finding a mentor relevant to the competition field you want to pursue is also crucial. 

“It’s important for us to get the right guidance. Don’t hesitate to make the most of the facilities available on campus,” Alexander advised.

A UGM student team named ‘Pairgrowth Team’ won first place in the Capital Market Inclusion Competition at the 2024 Jambi Financial Inclusion Festival, held from Sept. 23 to Nov. 16, 2024, at Universitas Jambi. 

The Pairgrowth Team consists of Ali Alexander (2021, Management, FEB UGM) and Elsa Firlyani (2021, Property Valuation Management, SV UGM). 

The team was mentored by Dr. Eddy Junarsin, who served as their advisor. They triumphed over 34 other teams from various universities across Indonesia. 

The Capital Market Study Group of Universitas Jambi conducted the competition online.

Alexander explained that the Pairgrowth team’s initial stage in this competition was to produce an equity research paper. 

All teams in this stage were required to conduct a comprehensive analysis, covering macroeconomic aspects, industry, business profiles, business processes, financials, valuation, and risks related to the analyzed company. 

“We and almost all the participating teams were tasked with analyzing PT Bank Mandiri, which was facing macroeconomic turbulence, making growth difficult, and we were also given the added challenge of addressing public skepticism toward BMRI stocks,” he said at the UGM campus, Friday, Jan. 3, 2025.

He revealed that PT Bank Mandiri, operating in the banking sector, differs from non-financial companies that have specific financial templates. 

This condition posed a challenge in creating the valuation. 

“However, since I am already accustomed to calculating banking valuations, I was able to complete it quickly and accurately,” he stated.

Amid the delight of the victory, Alexander and his teammate acknowledged that time management was a challenge during the competition.

While competing, Alexander also interned at PT Nestlé Indonesia. Thus, he had to manage his time between the internship and the competition. 

Meanwhile, his teammate Elsa Firlyani was participating in a student exchange program abroad, which required her to adapt to the time zone differences. 

“Despite the many challenges, we ultimately succeeded in winning and bringing glory to FEB UGM and UGM at the national level,” he concluded.

Ali Alexander, an undergraduate student from the UGM Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB UGM), earned another proud achievement during the ASEAN Investment Challenge 2024. 

A 2021 cohort student of the Management Program, Alexander successfully claimed the Champion title in Indonesia at the prestigious competition organized by CGS International Sekuritas Indonesia and CGS International Securities Group in Jakarta. 

This victory at the national level grants him the opportunity to represent Indonesia at the regional competition, which will take place in January 2025. Additionally, Alexander was awarded a coaching fund worth IDR 70,000,000.

The ASEAN Investment Challenge is a leading annual investment competition organized by CGS International. This competition aims to enhance students’ understanding of sustainable investing and contribute to building a strong stock market in the future. 

With the theme “Your Galaxy, Your Way!,” this year’s country-level competition took place over four months, from August to November 2024. As one of the premier investment competitions in Southeast Asia, the ASEAN Investment Challenge 2024 attracted more than a thousand students from across Indonesia. 

The competition is divided into two stages: the country level and the regional level. At the country level, participants from various nations, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand, compete in a series of investment challenges. 

This stage consists of participant registration, a learning journey, and the country-level challenge, which lasts six weeks (October 21 – November 29, 2024). The top three winners from each country will represent their respective countries at the regional-level challenge scheduled for January 2025.

The main challenge in this competition was to design an optimal investment strategy to maximize profits amid economic uncertainty. 

In solving this case, participants were required to build an efficient stock portfolio with returns greater than the IDX Composite, considering diversification, adhering to ESG (environmental, social, governance) criteria, maintaining a high margin of safety, and identifying opportunities from companies involved in corporate actions, such as acquisitions or mergers.

Alexander successfully overcame these challenges by implementing a strategy based on in-depth fundamental analysis. To avoid downside risks, he prioritized companies with high growth potential and undervalued stocks. 

Additionally, Alexander was keen to spot opportunities from corporate actions such as acquisitions or mergers that could significantly drive up stock prices. With the proposed solution, Alexander managed to build a portfolio with returns higher than the IDX Composite while supporting ESG sustainability principles. 

“This strategy has proven effective over a certain trading period and has delivered a performance far superior to market indices,” he explained recently.

Despite emerging as the champion, Alexander’s journey to victory was not easy. He admitted to facing immense pressure during the competition, coming from the tight competition with other participants and the pressure to make the right investment decisions. 

However, he managed to navigate the lengthy competition process and win by staying focused and composed. He also felt confident in the strategy he had crafted.

Alexander revealed that he prioritized fundamental analysis in selecting stocks from companies with significant potential, including those involved in or planning corporate actions like acquisitions or mergers. 

With confidence in this research-based approach, he handled the competition’s pressure and made calculated decisions. This strategy proved effective, allowing him to achieve higher returns than the IDX Composite.

Alexander received support from many parties in preparing for this competition. In his preparation for the regional level, Alexander received guidance from Dr. Eddy Junarsin, a lecturer at FEB UGM, who had previously helped him study valuations for finance competitions in his third semester. 

Alexander hopes to give his best on the ASEAN regional stage. 

“I am proud to have won this title. For the next stage, I kindly ask for everyone’s support to continue progressing well and win the competition,” Alexander added.

Alexander’s achievement is concrete proof that one can achieve one’s dreams with hard work, perseverance, and the right strategy. His success not only brings pride to FEB UGM but also inspires all Indonesian students to dare to try new things and face challenges.

Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) students have once again achieved remarkable success. 

This time, a team of UGM students, comprising Muhammad Faris Khiar Calosa, Ridho Nur Alam, Irvan Khotibul Umam, Muhammad Syukur Shidiq, and Agus Syahputra, secured an award at the 2024 International Youth Summit (IYS). 

The students, hailing from various faculties such as Biology, Cultural Science, Engineering, and Pharmacy, received recognition at the international essay and scientific presentation competition held by Universiti Putra Malaysia on Nov. 9-10, 2024.

In this prestigious event, the UGM team won a silver medal for their innovative work titled “Boba Bean: An Innovative Instant Red Bean Beverage for Anemia Prevention Among Adolescents.” 

Boba Bean is a red bean-based nutritional solution specifically designed to prevent anemia among teenagers. This product combines natural ingredients like red beans, which are known for being rich in iron and essential for boosting daily iron intake.

The idea behind this innovation stemmed from the high prevalence of anemia in Indonesia, particularly among young women. Iron supplements or tablets are often deemed ineffective in fulfilling iron needs, as many people struggle to consume capsules. 

“We wanted to create a more appealing alternative that fits the tastes of younger generations,” said Agus Syahputra on Monday (Dec. 23).

During the competition, the team had various new experiences, one of which was presenting their work before international judges and attendees. 

They also showcased their product, a Boba Bean dish. The team explained their innovation and answered various questions in English. 

“This was truly a valuable experience,” Syahputra shared.

International judges praised their scientific work for its creative approach and foundation in scientific research. The Boba Bean innovation also supports Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3, which focuses on Good Health and Well-being. 

“Through this nutritious and practical food solution, Boba Bean is expected to be an effective alternative for anemia prevention, which remains a global health issue,” he said.

Syahputra hopes that Boba Bean can be further developed and benefit society more broadly. Winning the silver medal at the 2024 International Youth Summit brought pride to UGM and inspired Indonesia’s younger generation to continue creating and innovating on the international stage. 

“This success opens up opportunities for us to collaborate further in supporting the global health movement,” Syahputra concluded.

As the team captain, Bintang Ramadhan shared that the Narantaka team began preparing for the competition approximately one month in advance, from October to November 2024. 

The preparation involved research, car design, data collection, and routine trials to achieve optimal results on competition day. 

Despite the limited preparation time, the team delivered an excellent performance, bringing pride to Universitas Gadjah Mada and Indonesia. 

“This victory is the result of hard work, dedication, and the spirit of all team members. We are proud to showcase the collaboration between chemical and mechanical engineering through our car. This competition tested our technical skills and honed our teamwork and problem-solving abilities. We are grateful to everyone who supported our journey. This victory is not the end but the beginning of future innovations in eco-friendly cars,” said Ramadhan on Friday, Dec. 6, 2024, at the UGM Campus.

The Chem-E-Car competition involved several key stages for participating teams, including evaluating the car’s concept and safety aspects, presenting a poster, and competing in the race. 

Interestingly, the race segment of the IEM competition required teams to develop a car capable of completing two tasks: pushing a ball to knock down bowling pins and pushing a ball into a goal. In addition to completing these tasks, the car’s distance accuracy to the finish line was also assessed. 

The team’s car achieved a perfect score for the goal task with high distance accuracy. 

“We are proud that the UGM Reactics Chem-E-Car team developed a car with an innovative concept, accurately utilizing and calculating chemical reactions, and confidently performed in front of the judges,” said Mikael Kevin Christian Nugroho.

However, challenges extended beyond technical aspects. 

Ariyo Favian added, “We faced external challenges such as time zone differences, weather, language, cultural differences, and other limitations. Physical and mental adaptation was crucial to performing at our best.”

This valuable opportunity was made possible thanks to the support of the entire Reactics Chem-E-Car UGM team and all involved parties. 

Special thanks were also extended to the Reactics faculty advisors, including Dr. Budhijanto, Addin Suwastono, Mokhammad Fajar Pradipta, and Dr. Robertus Dimas Dhewangga Putra.

Appreciation was also given to the Reactics Chem-E-Car UGM sponsors and donors, including TEKAGAMA (Chemical Engineering Alumni of Gadjah Mada), Pertamina International Refinery, PT PLN Puslitbang, Pupuk Sriwidjaja Palembang, Almaz Fried Chicken, and PT Jasamarga.

This achievement is a stepping stone and a foundation for the Reactics team to continue innovating, achieving extraordinary milestones, and excelling in future competitions on both national and international levels.

KKN PPM UGM students carried out various programs in their field service activities, including empowering farmers by introducing the DesaApps or Digital Extension Society for Agriculture application. 

This app allows farmers to access information and education related to agriculture, livestock, and fisheries. The community service activities conducted by the KKN PPM UGM student team in Cingambul District, Majalengka Regency, West Java Province, from July to August in Ciranjeng Village, received recognition at the Majalengka Innovation Award held on Nov. 29. 

The UGM Cingambul Ngarumpul student team was awarded 1st place in the General Category.

Ariadna Kesuma Az-Zahra, or Rara as she is commonly known, is a member of the Cingambul Ngarumpul team. She expressed her gratitude that the local government appreciated the KKN activities conducted with her team in mid-2024. 

“We are very grateful. During our KKN activities, we introduced the use of DesaApps as one of our work programs,” Rara said in a statement to reporters on Thursday (Dec. 5).

The UGM Faculty of Agriculture student explained that in promoting this application, they collaborated with local extension officers or related agencies, who could become permanent companions for the farmers. Village officials conducted regular evaluations to assess the extent to which the application was being used and the benefits felt. 

This ensures that DesaApps can truly become an effective tool for the community. 

“We hope that DesaApps can continue to be optimally used by the community to increase productivity and the quality of agricultural products while also encouraging village independence through technological innovation. Lastly, we hope this program marks the beginning of agribusiness advancements in Ciranjeng Village,” said Rara.

During the activity, the KKN-PPM team explained the features of DesaApps to village officials and local farmers. 

Rara added that participants were also trained to use DesaApps, enabling them to utilize technology to enhance productivity and farming efficiency. The local government positively received this program.

Dr. Sudrajat, the team field supervisor, mentioned that farmers could use this application to exchange information about agriculture, such as the fertilizers used, weather conditions, and more. In addition, the app connects farmers with extension officers, allowing them to consult on agricultural matters.

He explained that DesaApps was developed by UGM’s Faculty of Agriculture. The UGM Rector officially launched the app on Dec. 19, 2016, and can be downloaded through the Google Play Store. 

During the KKN-PPM Period 2 of 2024, the Cingambul Ngarumpul team, based in Cingambul District, introduced this digital app as a platform for communication, discussion, and education for farmers, extension officers, and experts in the agro-complex field.

According to Dr. Sudrajat, after UGM KKN PPM activities, the development and continuation of the DesaApps program are directed toward the independent use of the app by the village community and relevant agencies. 

“In the future, farmer groups and village officials are expected to actively utilize the app’s features to record farming activities, engage in discussions with extension officers, and obtain information and education related to agriculture, livestock, and fisheries,” he concluded.
