Abstract

This article examines the state of education in Indonesia in 2023, focusing on both the challenges and opportunities facing the system. Education in Indonesia has undergone significant transformation over the past decade, but several barriers remain, such as disparities in access, quality, and infrastructure between urban and rural areas. Despite these challenges, recent reforms and the increased use of technology have provided promising avenues for improvement. The study analyzes the national education policies, including the impact of the Merdeka Curriculum, and evaluates the role of digital learning platforms in addressing the educational needs of Indonesia’s vast population. Additionally, the article highlights key issues such as teacher training, student engagement, and education for sustainable development. By examining both the progress made and areas requiring further attention, this paper offers a comprehensive view of the Indonesian educational system in 2023. The findings suggest that while substantial improvements have been made, systemic inequities and the rapid pace of technological integration pose both challenges and opportunities for educators, policymakers, and students alike.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the index of plankton diversity in the Aek Rao River, Gunung Tua. The research was carried out from April to May 2022 in the Aek Rao River, Gunung Tua. The sampling method used purposive random sampling which consisted of 3 observation stations, namely station 1 upstream, station 2 for residential areas and station 3 for densely populated areas. The results showed that the composition of plankton in the Aek Rao River, Gunung Tua consisted of 3 classes of phytoplankton, namely Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae and Cyanophyceae, while the zooplankton class consisted of 4 classes, namely Mastigophora, Monogononta, Crustacea and Ciliophora. The highest diversity index in phytoplankton was obtained at station 1 of the sand mining area with a value of 1, 39 which indicates that the level of diversity is in the medium category. In zooplankton the highest diversity index was found at station 3 with a value of 0.33 which indicated that the level of diversity was included in the low category. While the highest dominance index for phytoplankton was found at station 3 in densely populated areas with a value of 0.43 while zooplankton was found at station 1 in a sand mining area with a value of 0.00563, both values ??indicated that there was no dominant plankton genus in that area.

Abstract

The existence of clean water is very important considering the very dynamic activities of people's lives. Therefore, the quality and quantity must be considered. Clean water that meets health requirements must be free from pollution and must meet quality standards: one of them is physical requirements because drinking water that does not meet quality standards can cause health problems. The topography of an area can affect groundwater in that area. This study aims to analyze differences in the quality of well water in the highlands of Rantauprapat City and the lowlands of Rantauprapat City based on physical parameters. The research was conducted at the BTKL Physics Laboratory in Medan in October 2022. The method in this research was observational analytic with a cross-sectional approach. The sample was determined by purposive sampling which amounted to 50 samples. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21 and the Mann Whitney-U Test. The results showed that there was no significant difference in water quality in the parameters of taste, temperature, odor and turbidity with a p value > 0.05, while there were significant differences in the parameters TDS and DHL with a p value <0.05. Conclusion: There are no significant differences in water quality in the parameters of taste, temperature, odor and turbidity, while in the TDS and DHL parameters there are significant differences in water quality with a p value <0.05. 0.05 while the TDS and DHL parameters are significantly different with a p value <0.05. Conclusion: There are no significant differences in water quality in the parameters of taste, temperature, odor and turbidity, while in the TDS and DHL parameters there are significant differences in water quality with a p value <0.05. 0.05 while the TDS and DHL parameters are significantly different with a p value <0.05.

There were many community activities such as Domestic Waste, Sand Mining, Agriculture, Station 2. There was Domestic Waste, Cage Fish Farming and Agriculture. and Station 3. There are community activities such as bathing, domestic and agricultural waste. The results of the study found that the plankton composition in the Bilah Labuhanbatu River consisted of 3 classes of phytoplankton, namely Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae and Cyanophyceae while the class of zooplankton consisted of 4 classes, namely Mastigophora, Monogononta, Crustacea and Ciliophora. The highest diversity index of phytoplankton was obtained at station 1 of the sand mining area with a value of 1.76 indicating that the level of diversity was included in the medium category. In zooplankton the highest diversity index was found at station 3 with a value of 0.42 which indicated that the level of diversity was included in the low category. Meanwhile, the highest dominance index for phytolactones was found at station 3 in a densely populated area with a value of 0.51, while for zooplankton it was found at station 1 in a sand mining area with a value of 0.00487, both values ​​indicating that no plankton genus dominates in the area.

Abstract

District Labuhanbatu selatan has natural/artificial inland waters for various usages. For example, freshwater has supported various activities such as agriculture, plantations, inland fisheries, and ecotourism. This study reports the presence of invasive mollusk in freshwater (Melanoides tuberculata) and terrestrial (Achatina fulica) habitats. This study is the first report regarding the spatial distribution of the three invasive mollusk species in the inland waters of District Labuhanbatu selatan. These invasive mollusks species are a severe threat to the preservation of native species and human health because they are an intermediate host for several types of parasites, such as the trematode group. The spreading and rapid development of these invasive mollusks is caused by their reproductive ability and resistance to poor environmental quality and airborne dispersal factors by birds, water flow, and commercial activities. This invasive species can directly cause huge economic losses as they become a pest inagricultural activities, plantations, and freshwater fisheries (aquaculture). They also can transmit pathogens and displacement of native species. Therefore, it is recommended to have a preventive effort to tackle the expansion of in District Labuhanbatu selatan.

Abstract

The process of erosion leads to the loss of fertile topsoil and a reduction in the soil's capacity to store and absorb water. At the research site, community oil palm plantations in Tanjung Pasir Village, Kualuh Selatan District, North Labuhanbatu Regency, land clearing was conducted through logging, and in some cases, burning. Subsequent plantation management was carried out without implementing soil conservation measures and while disregarding environmental factors, resulting in soil degradation and productivity decline linked to erosion. This study aims to predict the magnitude of erosion using the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) method, calculate the tolerable soil loss, and analyze the erosion hazard level. The USLE method was applied by calculating the causative factors of erosion: rainfall erosivity (R), soil erodibility (K), slope length and steepness (LS), cover management (C), and conservation practices (P). The predicted erosion values were then compared to the tolerable soil loss values to determine the necessity of conservation interventions. The results indicate that the highest predicted erosion value (A) was 521.73 tons/ha/year on plot KS1, while the lowest was 111.09 tons/ha/year on plot KS5. Meanwhile, the tolerable soil loss (TSL) ranged from 43.86 to 64.38 tons/ha/year. Based on this comparison, two classes of erosion hazard were identified: very high and high. Both classes exhibited predicted erosion values far exceeding the permissible limits. Therefore, conservation measures are imperative, one of which involves planting dense Legume Cover Crops (LCC).
