Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of liquid biofertilizer and biochar on the growth and yield of mustard greens (Brassica juncea). This study was conducted from November to December 2023 in the Agrotechnology practicum field, Faculty of Science and Technology, Nias Raya University. The experimental design used was a 3 x 4 factorial Randomized Block Design (RAK) with 3 replications. There were two factors studied, namely the concentration of liquid biofertilizer consisting of three levels, namely Control (P0), 75 ml (P1), and 150 ml (P2), and biochar consisting of 4 levels, namely Control (B1), 1kg (B2), 2kg (B2) and 3kg (B3). The variables observed included plant height, number of leaves, and leaf length, leaf width, and wet weight. The concentration of liquid biofertilizer had a significant effect on leaf length, leaf width, and wet weight of plants aged 35 HST, had no significant effect on plant height, number of leaves aged 7, 14, 21, and 28 HST. The best dose of liquid biofertilizer treatment was at a concentration of 150 ml (P2). The provision of biochar had a significant effect on leaf length, leaf width, and plant wet weight at the age of 35 HST, had no significant effect on plant height and number of leaves at the ages of 7, 14, 21, and 28 HST. The results showed that there was a significant interaction on leaf length, leaf width, and plant wet weight, a significant interaction on leaf length, leaf width, and plant wet weight at the age of 35 HST, while other parameters had no significant effect. The interaction between the concentration of liquid fertilizer 150 ml (P2) with 3 kg of biochar (B3) was the best treatment combination.

Abstract

This research aimed at analyzing students’ ability in using conjunction in writing narrative text at the eleventh grade of SMK Negeri 1 Teluk Dalam. The kind of this research is qualitative research with descriptive approach. Researcher used Miles, Huberman, & Saldana theory to analyze the students’ ability in using conjunction in writing narrative text. The result of this research showed the students had the ability in using conjuction within a naraive text. It showed by the students’ worksheet that each conjuctions were used by students was exactly. It means that, they could be able to connects the elements are contained within a text well. The conjuction that students more used were coordinating conjuction and subordinating conjuction. However, they still have difficulties in using conjuction within a narrative text especially in using correlation conjunction. Those students’ difficulties caused by the students’ comprehension of narrative text materials, especially in using conjuction. So the students could not comprehend it and regarded that it is difficult. It is suggested that students should pay attention about the students’ ability in using conjunction in order to create a good text as well as a speech. For the teachers, hopefully this research could be used as their consideration to teach conjuction to students. For the next researcher, could be the information and knowledge to create a narrative text.

Abstract

The This study aims to reconceptualize the validity of cross-paradigm research through a critical examination of the evolution of the meaning and function of reliability, credibility, and trustworthiness in the methodological literature. This study departs from the problem of conceptual fragmentation and epistemological tension that arise due to the application of validity criteria ahistorically and procedurally in various research paradigms. The method used is a non-systematic literature review of conceptually relevant Scopus indexed journal articles, with a thematic-conceptual analysis approach and cross-paradigm critical synthesis. The results of the study show that validity has shifted from technical-instrumental attributes to epistemic justification processes that are contextual, reflective, and paradigmatic. Reliability no longer serves as a universal prerequisite for validity, but rather as a technical mechanism whose relevance depends on certain epistemological assumptions. Credibility develops as an interpretive justification mechanism in qualitative research, while trustworthiness serves as a reflective evaluative framework that emphasizes transparency and accountability. This study also found epistemological tensions, conceptual inconsistencies, and theoretical limitations in the use of these three concepts across paradigms. In conclusion, the validity of research needs to be understood as a dynamic practice of epistemic justification and not reduced to a methodological checklist. This research contributes to the development of research methodology by offering a conceptual synthesis that goes beyond the classical dichotomy of validity–reliability and trustworthiness–credibility.
