Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the implementation of Problem-Based Learning through Scaffolded Nutrition (PBL-SN) on increasing green food intention and creativity in pre-service science teachers to support SDGs, the effect of the implementation of PBL-SN in developing creativity in the context of sustainable food consumption in pre-service science teachers, and whether there is a significant relationship between green food intention and creativity of pre-service science teachers after participating in PBL-SN based learning. The novelty of the research lies in integrating PBL with Scaffolded Nutrition as a specific instrument to simultaneously increase Creativity and Green Food Intention among pre-service science teachers, thereby supporting SDGs 2, 3, and 12. This study is a quantitative, quasi-experimental, posttest-only research design. The statistical tests used are t-tests and multiple linear regression. The results of this study show that the green food intention variable has an average EC (M = 3.47) and CC (M = 3.27), with t = -1.841 and Cohen's d = 0.516, indicating a moderate effect. The creativity variable shows that the average EC (M = 87.52) is higher than the average CC (M = 82.76), with t = -4.078 and Cohen's d = 1.141; the effect size is relatively large, indicating that the treatment given to the EC has a strong impact on increasing the creativity of pre-service science teachers. There is a weak positive correlation between creativity and green food intention, suggesting no strong relationship between the two variables in the intervention group.

Abstract

Polyurethane membranes derived from renewable resources are increasingly being explored for applications in water treatment, particularly for ammonia adsorption. This study focuses on the development of a seaweed-based polyurethane membrane, synthesized from Gracilaria verrucosa biomass, and modified with palm kernel shell-derived activated carbon (RlgPU5/AC). The membranes were characterized for their mechanical, structural, and thermal properties using techniques such as FTIR, SEM, TGA, and tensile testing. Results showed that the incorporation of activated carbon significantly improved the tensile strength (from 17.65 MPa to 19.94 MPa) and elongation (from 34.9% to 74.2%), while also enhancing the swelling degree and porosity of the membrane. Adsorption experiments revealed that the RlgPU5/AC membrane demonstrated optimal ammonia removal at pH 8, achieving a maximum adsorption capacity of 0.409 mg/g. The adsorption process was governed by the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-first-order kinetics. Regeneration experiments confirmed that the membrane could be reused with a 69.6% regeneration efficiency using 3 N HCl solution, demonstrating its potential as an effective and sustainable material for ammonia removal in wastewater treatment
