Abstract

Students' science competencies are challenged in science education. It is caused by the fact that science concepts are commonly presented abstractly and not contextually. This study aimed to systematically map the use of ethnoscience phenomena in science education and their contribution to enhancing students' science competencies. The method employed was a systematic literature review with a quantitative bibliometric approach, based on the PRISMA guidelines, utilizing published articles from Scopus, Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, and SINTA (2019 – 2024). Forty-four articles met the inclusion criteria. The study results show that the ethnoscience phenomenon in science education can be classified into four main themes, namely traditional food processing, ecology and local environment, traditional technology and tools, and material culture and chemical processes, which are consistently related to three aspects of PISA science competency: explaining scientific phenomena, designing and evaluating investigations, and interpreting scientific data and evidence. It can be concluded that ethnoscience is an effective contextual bridge between science concepts - students' cultural experiences, and offering a novelty as thematic mapping of ethnoscience phenomena and theoretical mechanisms for improving science competency, which serves as a basis in science learning development based local culture in the future.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and evaluate a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) science module supplemented with Mind Maps on the topic of elements, compounds, and mixtures to enhance the critical thinking skills of eighth-grade students. The research objectives were to: 1) describe the module's characteristics, 2) examine its feasibility, and 3) test its effectiveness. The development followed the Borg and Gall procedure, comprising ten systematic steps. The module's feasibility was assessed using the Aiken’s V validity test, while its impact on critical thinking skills was analyzed using ANCOVA. The results demonstrated that: 1) The developed module possesses distinctive characteristics, integrating PBL with Mind Maps, which promotes active student engagement and provides direct learning experiences to foster critical thinking. 2) The module is highly feasible for classroom use, supported by a strong Aiken’s V validity value of 0.85. 3) The module is statistically effective in improving students' critical thinking skills. This conclusion is substantiated by the ANCOVA test results, which showed a highly significant value of p <0.001, confirming a notable enhancement in critical thinking abilities after the implementation of the module. The study successfully validates the module as a viable and effective learning tool.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to extract natural dyes from plant parts, characterize them, and evaluate their color fastness properties. The yarns were bleached using hydrogen peroxide at a concentration of 10% (based on fiber weight) at 100°C for 30 minutes. Three natural dyes (teak leaves, turmeric, and mango bark) were selected as natural sources for color extraction, which was carried out for 60 minutes at 100°C. Dyeing was performed both with and without the addition of salt, alum, and lime as mordants. The FTIR spectra of fabrics dyed with natural dye extracts showed absorption bands at 2963–2918 cm⁻¹, indicating the presence of C-H stretching from methyl (CH₃) and methylene (-CH₂-) groups found in polyester. The band at 1710–1713 cm⁻¹ originated from the carbonyl (C=O) group, which is a main characteristic of polyester. The band around 1504–1577 cm⁻¹ was identified as aromatic C=C bond stretching. The band at 1338–1242 cm⁻¹ indicated C-O stretching, which may be attributed to ester groups in polyester. The band at 1091–1015 cm⁻¹ represented C-H bending, which is also characteristic of polyester molecules. Turmeric and teak leaves demonstrated better color fastness compared to mango bark.

Abstract

The genus Alocasia showed high diversity, including morphological differences among approximately 60 species. One of these species was Alocasia melo, which was distributed on Borneo Island. A. melo had high aesthetic and economic value, making it popular among ornamental plant enthusiasts. However, growing A. melo naturally was challenging due to specific habitat, such as humidity, temperature, lighting, water supply, soil pH, and indoor storage to increase survival rates. To address this, tissue culture (in vitro) was used as a method for its propagation and conservation.  This study aimed to determine the effects of different nutrient components on the in vitro growth of A. melo and to find the most effective nutrient combination for its growth. The research was an experimental study with treatments including coconut water + 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP), algae extract + BAP, coconut water, algae extract, and coconut water + algae extract on solid media. The data were analyzed descriptively, showing the number of shoots and roots in tables and figures. The results showed that the treatment with coconut water (10 mL) + BAP (1 ppm) produced the highest average number of shoots (3.75). Meanwhile, the treatment with coconut water (30 mL) resulted in the highest average number of roots (6.75).

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how high school grade X students understand the concepts of renewable energy using the ANATES tool. This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach with a sample of 60 students from two Grade X classes at SMAS Darul Falah Pagutan Mataram. The instrument used was in the form of 20 multiple-choice questions developed based on indicators of understanding renewable energy concepts. The test results were analyzed using ANATES to measure the level of conceptual understanding, the level of difficulty, and the discriminating power. The results showed that 25% of students were in the medium understanding category, 46.7% were in the very low category, and 28.3% were in the low category. Most of the questions were in the medium difficulty category (45%) and had varying discriminating power, with 50% classified as good, 5% as sufficient, and 45% as poor. This study recommends the need to improve learning strategies that emphasize an inquiry-based approach, the contextual integration of ESD (Education for Sustainable Development), and the use of evaluation tools that can provide informative feedback to enhance students' conceptual understanding of renewable energy.

Abstract

Kombucha is a functional beverage produced by the fermentation of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY). This fermented beverage contains various bioactive compounds with antioxidant potential. Rhizophora apiculata is a mangrove plant that contains bioactive compounds with rich health benefits. Based on this, modifying kombucha fermentation with a mangrove leaf tea substrate can increase kombucha's effectiveness as an antioxidant. This study aims to analyze the secondary metabolite content profile and antioxidant activity of R. apiculata kombucha. Kombucha fermentation was carried out for seven days with a 10% sugar concentration. Analysis of the secondary metabolite content profile of R. apiculata kombucha was carried out using GC–MS analysis. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using the DPPH assay. The results showed a decrease in pH during the fermentation period and an increase in total acidity. The results of GC–MS analysis of R. apiculata kombucha showed 23 secondary metabolite compounds with varying retention times, area sizes, and chemical structures. The composition of the identified compounds was dominated by acetic acid (26.9%), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF, 12.38%), N′-(diaminomethylidene) butanehydrazide (7.68%), 1,2,3-propanetriol, 1-acetate (6.91%), and methyl α-D-rhamnopyranoside (5.12%). R. apiculata kombucha has the potential to act as an antioxidant, with an IC₅₀ value of 27.16 ppm, which is classified as a very strong antioxidant.

Abstract

Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent and life-threatening diseases worldwide, highlighting the urgent need for accurate and interpretable diagnostic models. While machine learning has shown promise in classification tasks, many existing models lack transparency and overlook the individual contribution of cellular features essential for clinical decision-making.This study proposes an integrative and explainable framework to identify the most influential cellular-level features in distinguishing between benign and malignant breast tumors. Using a publicly available dataset comprising 569 observations and 32 numerical features, we conducted a multi-step analysis. Feature relevance was first evaluated using Pearson correlation. Random Forest and Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) were employed to rank and refine the feature subset, followed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for dimensionality reduction and pattern visualization. SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) were utilized to interpret individual predictions. Complementary statistical tests, including t-tests and chi-square analyses, assessed associations between tumor characteristics and diagnosis. A logistic regression model was developed to evaluate predictive performance.Key cellular features—such as mean radius, texture, and concavity—were consistently identified as highly predictive of diagnosis. RFE demonstrated that fewer than 10 features were sufficient for optimal classification. The logistic regression model achieved high accuracy, offering a simpler yet effective alternative for prediction.By combining statistical methods with interpretable machine learning, this study presents a transparent and clinically relevant approach to breast cancer diagnosis. The integration of SHAP values bridges the gap between model performance and interpretability, supporting more informed and personalized clinical decisions. Future work should consider external validation, image-based features, and patient demographic variables to enhance generalizability.
