Number of Erythrocytes in Male Mice (Mus musculus) Exposed to Cigarette Smoke After Treatment with Ethanol Extract of Red Pomegranate Peel (Punica ganatu)

2024-05-21T04:54:42+00:00

Plant extracts have the potential to serve as natural therapeutic agents that can counteract the negative effects of various toxins, including those found in cigarette smoke. One such plant with this potential is the red pomegranate (Punica granatum). This study aims to determine the effect of administering Red Pomegranate (Punica ganatum) peel extract on the number of erythrocytes and hemoglobin levels in white mice exposed to cigarette smoke. This type of research is experimental laboratory post test only group design. Mice were divided into 4 treatment groups, namely: P0, control group, test animals treated with distilled water; treatment groups P1, P2 and P3, which were treated with neem leaf ethanol extract at a dose of 10 each; 20; 40 mg/head/day and mice were exposed to cigarette smoke. The research results showed that the higher the extract given, the higher the HB and erythrocyte levels. From this research it can be concluded that administration of Red Pomegranate rind extract can increase the number of erythrocytes and hemoglobin levels but it is not significant (p>0.05). The contribution of this research provides important data on the interaction between toxins (in this case, cigarette smoke) and protective agents (red pomegranate peel ethanol extract). This information is valuable in the fields of toxicology and pharmacology for understanding cellular protection mechanisms and potential new treatments.

Enhancing STEM Education through Project-Based Learning: A Strategy to Engaging Secondary School Students

2024-05-18T10:50:18+00:00

This study analyzes the impact of project-based learning (PBL) in STEM education using a qualitative approach that combines a literature review, conversation, and observation. PBL has evolved as an effective instructional tool, bridging the gap between academic concepts and practical applications while encouraging critical thinking and problem-solving skills. PBL promotes an authentic learning environment that increases engagement and relevance by immersing students in real-world situations. This study establishes the theoretical foundations, learning theories, and best practices connected with PBL implementation in STEM education through a thorough literature review. Semi-structured interviews and focus group conversations with educators, students, and administrators provide significant insights into their opinions and experiences using PBL. Furthermore, classroom observations capture the dynamics of PBL sessions, student participation, and critical thinking development. Thematic analysis of the collected data indicates common trends, difficulties, and effective PBL in STEM education initiatives. The study's findings add to the current body of research and provide practical advice for enhancing PBL implementation, enabling educators to construct dynamic learning environments that promote critical thinking, collaboration, and real-world application of information. This study contributes to our understanding of the transformative potential of PBL in STEM education and informs educational strategies for preparing students for modern-day challenges.

Welfare in Islamic Economics Perspective: Literature Review

2024-05-25T02:52:36+00:00

The main issue in the economy is growth. Economic growth is always an indicator of prosperity and a solution to every economic crisis. This growth is driven by increased resources, especially human resources and technology. The aim of this research is to explain in depth the study of welfare from an Islamic economic perspective. The type of research used is qualitative research with a literature review approach. The object of this research is, of course, texts and references or library literature related to welfare from an Islamic economic perspective. Data collection techniques used library and documentation methods. Data analysis techniques are used: data collection, data reduction, data display, and an overview of conclusions or verification. This literature review concludes that Sharia’s economic prosperity aims to achieve overall human welfare, namely Material, spiritual, and moral welfare. The Sharia economic concept of welfare is based not only on the manifestation of economic values, such as ethical, spiritual, social??, and Islamic political values. From this understanding, it can be understood that social welfare issues are in line with the mission of Islam itself. This mission is also the apostolic mission of the Prophet Muhammad. The contribution of this research provides an understanding and application of the concept of welfare in Islamic economics, emphasizing the importance of balancing material, spiritual, and moral well-being in achieving sustainable and inclusive development goals.

Development of Android-Based Mobile Learning Media for Computer Device Materials as Teaching Materials for Informatics Subject Teachers

2024-05-18T11:18:31+00:00

The development of information and communication technology has brought significant changes to the world of education. One of these changes is the increasing use of technology-based learning media, such as mobile learning, which offers integration and accessibility in the teaching and learning process. However, the main challenge in implementing mobile learning is ensuring that the media suits the needs and characteristics of teachers and students. This research aims to develop mobile learning media that is suitable and appropriate for Computer Science teachers at SMPN 1 Bendosari in learning Computer Science, especially in computer hardware material. The research method applied is the Research and Development (R&D) method using a development model known as the ADDIE model. The ADDIE model consists of five main stages, namely Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation. The results of research and development show that mobile learning media regarding computer hardware in Computer Science subjects has been tested by media experts and subject matter experts. At the expert evaluation stage, the material expert rated the product at 4.6 (good category). Media experts gave the product a score of 4.35 (good category). The results of the mobile learning media feasibility test also show that the media is suitable for use. Thus, the conclusion of this research is that the mobile learning product produced has met the required standards and is suitable for use as teaching material for teachers in computer science learning, especially in computer hardware material at SMPN 1 Bendosari. The contribution of this research is the development of mobile learning media that is effective and in accordance with the required educational standards, especially in computer hardware material. The resulting products not only provide practical tools for teachers in the learning process, but also encourage wider and more effective use of technology in the school environment.

Citizenship Education in the Era of Society 5.0 with the Strengthening of anti-State Attitudes for Elementary School Students

2024-05-27T06:37:01+00:00

The abundance of information circulating in the media has raised concerns among the students in the use of society 5.0 era technology to strengthen a state-of-the-art attitude. This literature review aims to utilize technology in the era of society to strengthen the attitude of defending the country in elementary school students in citizenship education. Citizenship Education (PKn) in the Society 5.0 era is the main focus in preparing elementary school students for life in the modern era based on literature such as books, journals, articles and official documents related to the Independent Curriculum. Civics in this era emphasizes the use of digital technology and artificial intelligence to develop creativity, critical thinking skills and innovation. Therefore, appropriate strategies are needed to utilize technology to instill an attitude of defending the country in students. The literature method is used to analyze various sources related to Civics, Society 5.0, and national defense. The results of the analysis show that the Merdeka Curriculum can be an innovation in responding to the challenges of Civics in the Society 5.0 era. It is hoped that this research can contribute to the development of effective Civics learning strategies in the Society 5.0 era, so that it can foster a sense of nationalism and patriotism in students.
