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

The research aimed to identify the symbiont bacteria in brown alga Padina australis from the coastal waters of Molas, Manado city, Indonesia. Fresh samples were crushed with a mortar and pestle until smooth. A total of 1 g of the smooth alga was added into a test tube containing 9 mL of distilled water to obtain a 10-1 dilution. Next, 1 mL of a 10-1 solution was put into another test tube containing 9 mL of distilled water and vortexed for 15 minutes to obtain 10-2 dilution and so on until a 10-8 solution was obtained. 100 μL of solution from each series 10-4 – 10-8 was spread on NA media and incubated at a temperature of 27–29°C for 24 hours. DNA extraction was carried out following the modified Genomic DNA Mini Kit (Geneaid) protocol. DNA amplification was carried out using the 16S rRNA gene. Amplification using primers for the 16S rRNA gene BKXF (forward) and BKXR (reverse) resulted in fragments 1152 base pairs in length. The results of BLAST analysis of SK1 symbiont bacterial isolates found a Max score and total score of 1369, a query coverage of 97%, and a Percent Ident of 97.73%, which showed similarity to bacterial nucleotides of Bacillus cereus.

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.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of a creative learning approach combining the Problem Based Learning (PBL) and Numbered Head Together (NHT) models in improving students’ critical thinking skills in biology learning. This study was conducted due to the low level of students’ critical thinking skills caused by the dominance of conventional learning methods that limit students’ active participation. A quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group design was employed. The sample consisted of two tenth-grade classes at SMA Negeri 2 Pekanbaru selected through purposive sampling, with class X.2 as the experimental class and class X.9 as the control class, each consisting of 36 students. Data were collected using pretest and posttest instruments based on critical thinking indicators and observation sheets of teacher and student activities. The results showed that the experimental class obtained higher mean pretest and posttest scores (70.65 and 86.94) than the control class (63.43 and 80.00). The N-gain analysis indicated that both classes were in the moderate category; however, the experimental class achieved a higher N-gain score (0.58) compared to the control class (0.48). The t-test results revealed a significant difference between the two classes (Sig. = 0.016 < 0.05). The integration of PBL and NHT promotes active learning, collaboration, and problem-solving processes that support the development of students’ critical thinking skills. In conclusion, the creative approach combining PBL and NHT is effective in enhancing students’ critical thinking skills and biology learning outcomes.

Abstract

Academic self-efficacy is a critical psychological construct consistently linked to student success. However, the extensive body of research is fragmented, necessitating a systematic synthesis to understand the key factors, outcomes, and underlying mechanisms associated with student’s self-efficacy. The purpose of this systematic literature review is to synthesize and evaluate the current evidence on the effect of self-efficacy on academic achievement and learning engagement. Following the PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive search was conducted across Science Direct database. The review synthesized findings from 25 articles, focusing on empirical studies that examined the antecedents and consequences of self-efficacy in relation to academic outcomes. The findings reveal that self-efficacy serves as a significant predictor of academic achievement and learning engagement. Results indicate that students with high self-efficacy demonstrate greater persistence, set more ambitious goals, and exhibit higher resilience in challenging subjects. The discussion highlights that this relationship is mediated by both social support and cognitive engagement strategies. In conclusion, developing self-efficacy is essential for optimizing educational outcomes

Abstract

Rapid urban development has increased impervious surface coverage, causing higher surface runoff and reduced rainwater infiltration that contribute to flooding and groundwater depletion. Permeable pavement systems, such as paving blocks, are widely applied to support sustainable urban water management. This study analyzes the effect of land slope covered with hexagonal paving blocks on rainwater infiltration performance. Laboratory experiments were conducted using a rainfall simulator with a constant intensity of 50 mm/h. Three slope variations were evaluated, namely 0%, 2%, and 4%. The paving blocks had a compressive strength of 25 MPa (Class B) and were installed on a compacted sandy bedding layer. Infiltration and surface runoff volumes were measured at five-minute intervals until stable conditions were achieved. Results indicate that land slope significantly influences infiltration behavior. The highest infiltration performance occurred at a 2% slope, with a maximum infiltration volume of approximately 570 mL recorded between the 40th and 45th minutes. Conversely, the 0% slope showed decreased infiltration due to soil saturation, while the 4% slope exhibited lower efficiency because the increased slope accelerated surface runoff. These findings demonstrate that hexagonal paving blocks installed on a moderate slope enhance infiltration, reduce runoff, and support urban flood mitigation and groundwater recharge.
