Abstract

This study objectives to theoretically analyze the morpho-physiological responses of mustard greens (Brassica juncea L.) to micro-environmental engineering and to formulate an efficient agronomic strategy based on a compilation of prior research data. The method used was a literature review by synthesizing secondary data from various scientific journals related to edaphic porosity manipulation and organic Nitrogen nutrient optimization. The results of the review show that edaphic engineering using porous materials such as husk biochar is consistently proven to enhance oxygen circulation in the rhizosphere, which increases the efficiency of active transport nitrate ion absorption. Optimal Nitrogen accumulation accelerates cell division in leaf mesophyll and increases chlorophyll concentration, thereby boosting carbon assimilation rates during the rapid vegetative phase (30–40 days). The implication of this study is the availability of a sustainable conceptual model for leafy vegetable horticulture cultivation using local organic materials. Based on the literature synthesis, stable micro-environmental manipulation is proven crucial to maintaining high turgor in amfistomatic guard cells, producing wide, fresh, and crispy leaves.

Abstract

Teacher professionalism is one of the key factors determining the quality of education. This study aimed to explore teacher professionalism from the perspectives of the teaching profession and educational management at UPTD SMP Negeri 2 Gunungsitoli Idanoi. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with an exploratory research design. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving the school principal and a science teacher as research informants. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative techniques, including data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that teacher professionalism at UPTD SMP Negeri 2 Gunungsitoli Idanoi is generally categorized as good, as indicated by the majority of teachers having completed the Teacher Professional Education Program (PPG) and obtained teaching certificates. Teachers actively participate in various professional development activities to enhance their competencies. From the educational management perspective, the school supports teacher professionalism through training programs, effective teacher management, and the provision of learning facilities. However, challenges remain, particularly related to limitations in educational facilities and infrastructure, including laboratory equipment, as well as diverse student characteristics. The school addresses these challenges through collaboration among teachers, counseling staff, and parents. Overall, teacher professionalism has shown positive development and continues to require support through sustainable competency improvement and educational facility enhancement.

Abstract

The development of science and technology in the food sector requires people to have the ability to understand scientific food processing processes and implement sustainable consumption patterns. Scientific literacy is one of the important competencies that needs to be developed to help individuals understand the relationship between science, technology, the environment, and everyday life. Food processing technology not only functions to improve the quality, safety, and shelf life of food products, but can also be used as a contextual learning medium in developing students' scientific literacy. Through food processing technology-based learning, students can understand scientific concepts such as physical and chemical changes in food ingredients, the influence of microorganisms, preservation principles, and food safety aspects. Apart from that, this learning is able to raise awareness about the importance of responsible, efficient, and environmentally friendly food consumption. This article aims to examine the role of food processing technology as a means of developing scientific literacy and forming awareness of sustainable food consumption. The study was carried out through analysis of various relevant literature sources regarding science education, food technology, and sustainable development. The results of the study show that the integration of food processing technology in learning is able to increase understanding of scientific concepts, critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and students' awareness of the importance of sustainable food systems in supporting food security and environmental preservation.
