ABSTRAKMakalah ini akan memberikan paparan akan proses penumbuhan pengetahuan dan ketrampilan kepada Kelompok Usaha Bersama  pada pembuatan Virgin coconut oil (VCO) di masa Pandemik Covid-19. Kegiatan ini secara keseluruhan berlangsung selama 8 (delapan) bulan.  Rangkaian kegiatan yang dilakukan terdiri dari (1) orientasi lokasi, (2) persiapan dan perencanaan pelatihan dan pendampingan, (3) kegiatan pelatihan, (4) pengamatan hasil pelatihan, dan (5) evaluasi terhadap pelatihan dan pendampingan. Pengumpulan data dari kajian ini dilakukan dengan metode observasi dan wawancara mendalam terhadap 8 informan yang menjadi peserta kegiatan. Berdasarkan pada hasil evaluasi dan pembahasan,  maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa ibu-ibu dan remaja putri di Desa Bener, Kecamatan Bener, Purworejo sudah mulai menyadari dan mengerti pentingnya peranan pengembangan agroindustri khususnya minyak VCO sebagai sarana penunjang kesehatan dan menambah pendapatan keluarga. Salah satu bagian penting dari kegiatan ini adalah peserta mengetahui peluang dan tantangan agroindustri VCO dengan benar dalam upaya meningkatkan ketrampilan dan pendapatan dari bidang pertanian. Di sisi lain mereka juga bertambah pengetahuannya tentang teknologi pembuatan VCO pada skala rumah tangga secara optimal, dan mampu meningkatkan pendapatan di masa pandemic Covid-19.   Kata kunci : virgin coconut oil (VCO); kelompok usaha bersama, pandemic; covid-19. ABSTRACTThis paper will explain the process of growing knowledge and skills to the Joint Business Group on the manufacture of virgin coconut oil (VCO) during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Overall this activity lasted for 8 (eight) months. The series of activities carried out consisted of (1) location orientation, (2) preparation and planning of training and mentoring, (3) training activities, (4) observation of training results, and (5) evaluation of training and mentoring. Data collection from this study was carried out using observation and in-depth interviews with eight informants who were participants in the activity. Based on the results of the evaluation and discussion, it can be concluded that women and young women in Bener Village, Bener District, Purworejo have begun to realize and understand the importance of the role of agro-industry development, especially VCO oil, as a means of supporting health and increasing family income. A critical part of this activity is that participants know the opportunities and challenges of the VCO agro-industry properly to improve skills and income from the agricultural sector. On the other hand, they have also increased their knowledge of optimal VCO manufacturing technology at a household scale and can increase revenue during the Covid-19 pandemic. Keywords: virgin coconut oil (VCO); joint venture group, pandemic; covid-19

Abstract. Vitamin D is a secosteroid hormone that plays a pivotal role in several metabolic and reproductive pathways in humans. Increasing evidence supports the role of vitamin D deficiency in metabolic disturbances and infertility in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Indeed, supplementation with vitamin D seems to have a beneficial role on insulin resistance and endometrial receptivity. On the other hand, exceedingly high levels of vitamin D appear to play a detrimental role on oocytes development and embryo quality. In the current review, we summarize the available evidence about the topic, aiming to suggest the best supplementation strategy in women with PCOS or, more generally, in those with metabolic disturbances and infertility. Based on the retrieved data, vitamin D seems to have a beneficial role on IR, insulin sensitivity and endometrial receptivity, but high levels and incorrect timing of administration seem to have a detrimental role on oocytes development and embryo quality. Therefore, we encourage a low dose supplementation (400–800 IU/day) particularly in vitamin D deficient women that present metabolic disturbances like PCOS. As far as the reproductive health, we advise vitamin D supplementation in selected populations, only during specific moments of the ovarian cycle, to support the luteal phase. However, ambiguities about dosage and timing of the supplementation still emerge from the clinical studies published to date and further studies are required.
