ABSTRAKSMA Dharma Ayu merupakan salah satu sekolah di kota Kefamenanu yang memiliki minat besar dalam berupaya meningkatkan kompetensi guru agar dapat memberikan bimbingan kepada siswa untuk berkompetisi bidang kepenulisan karya ilmiah baik lokal hingga internasional. Namun, kompetensi guru dalam bidang kepenulisan karya ilmiah masih terbatas, sehingga dibutuhkan pelatihan kepenulisan karya ilmiah untuk meningkatkan kompetensi guru. PKM yang dilakukan adalah pelatihan karya tulis ilmiah bertujuan untuk memberikan fasilitas kepada guru di SMA Dharma Ayu untuk dapat meningkatkan kompetensi guru. Metode yang dilakukan dengan memberikan pelatihan menulis karya ilmiah secara teoritikal dan secara praktikal. Hasil pengabdian menunjukkan bahwa pelatihan kepenulisan karya ilmiah mampu meningkatkan kompetensi guru dalam menulis karya ilmiah di SMA Dharma Ayu Kefamenanu dengan hasil evaluasi pelatihan menunjukkan aspek kepenulisan mendapatkan nilai rata-rata 77% sangat baik dan aspek kemampuan publikasi artikel dengan nilai rata-rata 73% sangat baik, serta kepuasan peserta pelatihan terhadap dilaksanakannya pelatihan mendapatkan respon positif pada aspek materi dengan nilai rata-rata 83% sangat baik dan pada aspek pelayanan dengan nilai rata-rata 85% sangat baik. Kata kunci: sma dharma ayu; guru; pelatihan; karya ilmiah. ABSTRACTDharma Ayu High School is one of the schools in the city of Kefamenanu that has a great interest in trying to improve teacher competence so that they can provide guidance to students to compete in the field of writing scientific papers both locally and internationally. However, teacher competence in the field of writing scientific papers is still limited, so training in writing scientific papers is needed to improve teacher competence. The PKM that is being carried out is scientific writing training aimed at providing facilities to teachers at SMA Dharma Ayu to be able to improve teacher competence. The method is carried out by providing theoretical and practical scientific writing training. The results of the dedication show that scientific writing training is able to increase teacher competency in writing scientific papers at Dharma Ayu Kefamenanu High School, with the results of the training evaluation showing the authorship aspect getting an average score of 77% very good and the aspect of article publication ability with an average score of 73% very good, and the satisfaction of the trainees with the implementation of the training receiving a positive response on the material aspect with an average score of 83% very good and on the service aspect with an average score of 85% very good. Keywords: dharma ayu high school; teacher; training; scientific writing

This research was conducted to determine the diversity, richness, and evenness of aerial insects based on habitat characteristics in the dry land of Kefamenanu city, North Central Timor, East Nusa Tenggara. The research was conducted on three types of habitats, namely dry land, rivers, and lakes by purposive sampling method. Sampling was done by documenting specimens in each habitat, identifying, inventorying, and analyzing quantitatively to obtain data on species diversity, species richness, and species evenness. Results revealed that aerial insects in Kefamenanu City were found in 9 orders, 25 families, 44 genera, 54 species, and 1998 individuals in three habitat types with diversity index (H'=3,068), evenness index (E=0.774), richness index (R). = 6.974), and dominance index (0.074). Aerial insects in dryland habitats are found in 8 orders, 18 families, 32 genera, 32 species, 514 individuals with diversity index (H'=2.735), evenness index (E=0.789), richness index (R=4.966), and dominance index. (0.092). Aerial insects in river habitat found 7 orders, 20 families, 40 genera, 47 species, and 792 individuals with diversity index (H'=3.205), evenness index (E=0.833), richness index (R=6.892), and dominance index (0.075). Aerial insects in the lake habitat found 8 orders, 18 families, 35 genera, 39 species, 692 individuals with diversity index (H'=2,906), evenness index (E=0.793), richness index (R=5.811), and dominance index (0.083).

This study aims to determine the types and organs of plants that are used as natural dyes for food, beverages, cosmetics and textiles used by the people of Egon Village, Waigete District, Sikka Regency. The method used is explorative method (roaming method). Determination of respondents using purposive and random methods. Determination of the types of natural coloring plants is done by describing the morphology of the plants, while their utilization is described based on the organ used. The results showed that the natural coloring plants found to be used in Egon Village consisted of 11 families of 13 plant species. The plant organs used are leaves (40%), fruit (20%), rhizomes 13%, roots, tubers, seeds each (7%), and stems 6%. The most dominant plant organ used is the leaf organ (40%)

Endophytic bacteria isolated from some various kind of plants are able to yield some active compounds which have a role as an antibacterial compound. This work aimed to isolate and to screen the Endophytic bacteria from Faloak seed in its charge in inhibiting two kinds of pathogenic bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. There were six isolates of Endophytic bacteria isolated in this work. According to the screening result, one isolate which had the most potential antibacterial activity (marked by the formation of inhibition zone) against S. aureus and E. coli. That most potential isolate was then tested and identified for both biochemical properties and molecular 16S rRNA gene. The result of this study showed that the endophytic bacteria isolate of Faloak seed with the code of S1 had the similarity with Enterobacter xiangfangensis strain 10-17 by 93 %. The research about endophytic bacteria of Faloak plants was never conducted before. Thus this research was expected to give information about the potential of antimicrobial ability Faloak plants which can be utilized in the discovery of new antibiotic compounds which in the future are expected to overcome the problem of microorganism resistance to antibiotics. The use of endophytic bacteria is expected to prevents the extinction of Faloak plants due to excessive use.
