Abstract

Aggressive behavior among elementary school students is a pressing issue that disrupts the learning environment and affects students’ social-emotional development. Individual counseling services have been identified as an effective intervention to address such behaviors by targeting underlying emotional triggers and promoting self-regulation. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of individual counseling services in reducing aggressive behavior among elementary school students. A quasi-experimental research design with a pre-test and post-test control group format was employed. The study involved 60 elementary school students identified as exhibiting aggressive behaviors, divided into an experimental group receiving counseling services and a control group receiving standard classroom management. Data were collected through behavioral observation sheets, aggression scales, and interviews with teachers. The findings revealed a significant reduction in aggressive behaviors in the experimental group compared to the control group. Students in the experimental group demonstrated improved emotional regulation and conflict resolution skills, as observed in both school and social interactions. These results underscore the importance of individualized interventions in addressing aggressive behavior and fostering a positive school climate.

Abstract

The rapid and sensitive detection of pathogenic bacteria is paramount for preventing infectious disease outbreaks, ensuring food safety, and guiding clinical treatment. This study aimed to develop and validate a novel biosensing platform based on peptide-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles for the rapid, selective, and sensitive detection of a model pathogen, Escherichia coli O157:H7, in its early stages. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized and subsequently functionalized with a specifically designed, high-affinity peptide that targets an outer membrane protein of E. coli O157:H7. The detection was performed using a simple colorimetric assay based on the peroxidase-like activity of the MNPs, where the signal intensity was proportional to the concentration of captured bacteria. The peptide-functionalized MNPs demonstrated a high capture efficiency of over 95% within 20 minutes. The platform exhibited excellent sensitivity with a low limit of detection of approximately 15 colony-forming units per milliliter (CFU/mL) in buffer and 30 CFU/mL in spiked milk samples. The developed peptide-functionalized magnetic nanoparticle platform is a highly effective and robust system for the early-stage detection of pathogens. Its combination of speed, high sensitivity, and excellent specificity makes it a promising candidate for the development of portable, point-of-care diagnostic tools for applications in food safety, environmental monitoring, and clinical diagnostics, addressing a critical need for rapid and reliable pathogen screening.

Abstract

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana), known as the “queen of fruits,” is a highly perishable tropical fruit with a short shelf life. Post-harvest losses due to poor storage and handling are significant challenges, especially for export markets. Controlled atmosphere (CA) storage, which modifies oxygen, carbon dioxide, and humidity levels, has been identified as a promising technology for extending the shelf life of fruits while maintaining their quality. However, limited research has been conducted on the application of CA storage for mangosteen in tropical climates like Indonesia. This study aims to explore the use of controlled atmosphere storage to extend the shelf life and preserve the quality of mangosteen fruits. The research focuses on determining the optimal storage conditions for mangosteen using CA technology and assessing its impact on fruit quality parameters such as color, texture, firmness, and overall freshness. A laboratory-based experimental design was employed, where mangosteen fruits were stored under various controlled atmosphere conditions (oxygen, carbon dioxide, and temperature). The fruits were periodically evaluated for changes in quality parameters using standard techniques, including firmness testing and sensory evaluation. The results indicate that CA storage effectively extended the shelf life of mangosteen by up to 15 days compared to the conventional storage method. The fruits stored under optimal CA conditions showed minimal loss in firmness, color retention, and overall freshness. In conclusion, controlled atmosphere storage is a promising solution for extending the shelf life and maintaining the quality of mangosteen, making it a viable option for improving post-harvest management and enhancing marketability in export markets.

Abstract

Background. The rapid ecological degradation occurring across Southeast Asia has intensified scholarly interest in indigenous philosophical systems that articulate holistic models of human environment relations. Tri Hita Karana (THK), a foundational Balinese philosophical framework emphasizing harmony among humans, nature, and the divine, has increasingly been invoked in discussions of sustainability; however, empirical and conceptual examinations of how THK can inform contemporary environmental ethics remain limited. Purpose. This study aims to analyze THK as a philosophical foundation for sustainable practices by exploring its metaphysical assumptions, socio-cultural manifestations, and potential integration into modern sustainability paradigms.   Method. The research employs a qualitative hermeneutic design, combining textual analysis of Balinese lontar manuscripts, ethnographic documentation, and thematic synthesis of secondary environmental studies. Results. The findings reveal that THK offers a distinctive triadic model of relational ethics parahyangan (divine harmony), pawongan (social harmony), and palemahan (ecological harmony) that collectively provide normative guidance for sustainable living and resource management. These principles demonstrate compatibility with contemporary ecological frameworks while offering culturally grounded motivations for environmental stewardship. Conclusion. The study concludes that the THK philosophy constitutes a viable ethical foundation for sustainable development, supporting integrative approaches that blend spiritual values, communal responsibility, and ecological awareness. The philosophical coherence and cultural rootedness of THK suggest strong applicability in policy design, environmental education, and community-based conservation efforts.
