Abstract

Surabaya City has a lot of problems with the environment because of excessive urbanization and industrial activities, which include soil, air and water pollution. Among the pollutants of particular concern is heavy metal pollution. One method that can be tried in environmental remediation is phytoremediation, which is the use of plants to restore the environment. The present study focuses on identifying plants in Surabaya that have the capacity to function as heavy metal phytoremediation agents. The present study employs a purposive sampling method in conjunction with a line transect method. The results indicate that 34 plant species possess the capacity to function as effective heavy metal phytoremediation agents. A comprehensive review of the extant literature revealed ten types of heavy metal pollutants with the potential to be accumulated by heavy metal phytoremediation plants in the city of Surabaya, namely Pb, Hg, Cu, As, Fe, Al, Cr, Cd, Zn, and Ni. The diversity index (H') of 2.628, categorized as moderate, and the evenness index of 0.745, categorized as high evenness, indicate that the optimization of phytoremediation plant use can still be maximized by implementing sustainable planting activities as an effective strategy in controlling environmental pollution in large cities such as Surabaya.

Abstract

The development of eco-friendly cosmetics using local bioresources like Uncaria gambir Roxb. (gambir) holds strong promise for sustainable innovation. This study formulates and evaluates a catechin-based solid shampoo enriched with purified gambir extract, aiming to enhance product stability. A 14-day storage test was conducted at 20 °C and 40 °C using three types of packaging: translucent plastic, aluminum foil, and amber glass. Visual observations revealed that higher temperatures, especially in translucent plastic, accelerated color degradation due to catechin instability. Amber glass was the most effective in preserving the shampoo’s original color. Further, aqueous stability was assessed through two wet-use simulations: soaking (full immersion in distilled water) and dipping (partial immersion daily over four days). The shampoo maintained physical integrity during both tests, showing no softening or structural deformation. However, water discoloration increased over time, indicating catechin release and oxidation. The extent of browning was influenced by the pH of the water, suggesting that both environmental pH and oxidative exposure affect catechin behavior during use. These results demonstrate the solid shampoo’s physical resilience and moderate color stability under thermal and aqueous stress. While catechin oxidation is unavoidable, its rate can be mitigated through optimal packaging and pH management. The gambir-based solid shampoo shows potential as a natural, environmentally friendly personal care product, although further formulation refinement is needed to improve color retention during storage and use.

Abstract

Birds are powerful biodiversity indicators due to their wide distribution and responsiveness to environmental pressures. Building on prior reviews, we synthesize methodological advances to update the Multi-species Bird Index (MSI) field. This study recaps limitations like European/breeding-season biases and uncertainty gaps while integrating recent studies that expand analytical rigor. Advances in passive acoustic monitoring, remote sensing, and trait-based models now improve species selection and reduce detectability errors. We translate these into practical guidance for policy application and a research agenda emphasizing seasonal completeness. The synthesis underscores birds’ role as decision ready barometers and provides a blueprint for robust monitoring. Birds serve as premier biodiversity barometers due to their cosmopolitan distribution and sensitivity to anthropogenic pressures. However, traditional Multi species Bird Indicators (MSIs) often suffer from significant Europe-centric and breeding-season biases that limit their global policy impact. This study synthesizes recent methodological breakthroughs to update the MSI framework. We evaluate the integration of Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), high-resolution remote sensing (ALS LiDAR), and trait-based selection criteria into standard monitoring protocols. Our synthesis reveals that combining automated sensor networks with hierarchical Bayesian models effectively mitigates detectability errors and fills critical data gaps in under-represented regions. Furthermore, linking avian indicators with carbon sequestration and equity metrics allows for more robust prioritization of Nature based Solutions (NbS). We provide a practical blueprint for next-generation indicators that emphasize seasonal completeness and statistical rigor. By shifting from retrospective reports to forward-looking policy tools, these refined barometers can more accurately track progress toward global biodiversity targets.

Abstract

Basic education is a crucial foundation for a child's academic journey. Amidst the dynamics of the 21st century, dominated by technological advancements and global challenges—from climate change to health crises—the ability to understand and apply scientific concepts is vital. Scientific literacy is not simply the ability to memorize formulas or the names of planets, but rather the capacity to think critically, evaluate evidence-based information, and make logical decisions in everyday life. Changes in parental preferences in choosing elementary schools in Sungai Seluang Village are important to study because they indicate a trend of increasing interest in private schools compared to public schools, in line with the national trend of decreasing public school enrollment. This study primarily aims to examine factors influencing parental decisions, including comparing views on the quality of public and private schools, identifying barriers to accessing information, and assessing the influence of school location. The method used is a qualitative approach (case study) with data collection through interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions, accompanied by triangulation for validity testing. The results show that the dominant factors influencing parental choices include teaching quality, facilities, access to information, perceptions of security, and school distance, and these findings are directed to support the development of more responsive local education policies.

Abstract

The nice girl syndrome is a phenomenon that has a negative impact on individuals' lives, causing teenage girls to have poor interpersonal relationships. One way to overcome this problem is to practice assertiveness. This study aims to test the effectiveness of group counseling using assertive training techniques with virtual reality based on artificial intelligence video to improve the assertiveness of students with nice girl syndrome. This research uses a quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group design. The sample consists of 20 female students selected using purposive sampling. The instruments used in this study were an assertive behavior scale that had been tested for validity and reliability, and a nice girl syndrome scale developed by Beverly Engel. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon formula (Signed Rank Test), Mann-Whitney U, and N-gain score test. The results of the study showed that the application of group counseling services using assertive training techniques, combined with virtual reality based on artificial intelligence video in the experimental group, can improve the assertive behavior of students with Nice Girl Syndrome more effectively. This can be seen from the two tests conducted, namely using the Mann-Whitney U formula and the N-gain Score test. The results of this study provide new directions and effective innovations in the implementation of group counseling in the digital technology era, and further development is needed for a wider population.

Abstract

Science learning in elementary school plays an important role in developing students’ learning interest and critical thinking skills. However, students often experience difficulties in understanding abstract concepts such as vertebrate and invertebrate classification due to limited interactive learning media. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of an integrated learning medium called the “VEIN” (Vertebrate–Invertebrate) flashcards and 3D pop-up book to increase students’ learning interest and critical thinking skills. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) design conducted in two elementary schools in Jambi City involving 16 third-grade students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, documentation, and critical thinking tests, and analyzed quantitatively using percentage analysis. The results showed that 62.5% of students were categorized as having high learning interest, 25% medium, and 12.5% low. Critical thinking skills improved particularly in interpretation (68.75%) and analysis (62.5%) indicators, while inference reached 43.75% in the medium category. These findings indicate that the VEIN media effectively promotes active engagement, facilitates concrete conceptual understanding, and supports the gradual development of critical thinking skills. In conclusion, the VEIN flashcards and pop-up book are feasible, practical, and effective as innovative media to enhance learning interest and critical thinking in integrated elementary science learning

Abstract

The palm oil supply chain plays a strategic role in Indonesia’s economy; however, it faces persistent sustainability challenges related to economic volatility, environmental impacts, and social issues. These challenges necessitate an integrated sustainability assessment across all stages of the supply chain. This study aims to evaluate the sustainability performance of the palm oil agroindustry in North Sumatra, Indonesia, by simultaneously assessing economic, environmental, and social dimensions using a Life Cycle Thinking (LCT) approach. The study applies Life Cycle Costing (LCC) to assess lifecycle costs and financial feasibility, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) using ReCiPe Midpoint (H) and USEtox methods to evaluate environmental impacts, and Social Life Cycle Assessment (SLCA) to analyze social performance. The assessment scope is cradle to gate, covering plantation activities through Crude Palm Oil (CPO) processing. Primary data were collected from 90 respondents, including workers and local communities, through surveys and interviews. Secondary data were used to compile life cycle inventories and cost structures. The results indicate that fertilization, pest and disease control, and fossil-based electricity consumption at the processing stage are the main contributors to environmental impacts, particularly global warming, eutrophication, and toxicity. Economically, the palm oil supply chain generates positive value added and is financially feasible. Social indicators generally meet minimum regulatory standards. Overall, the ecoefficiency assessment categorizes the system as affordable but not yet environmentally sustainable due to high environmental costs. The novelty of this study lies in the integrated application of LCC, LCA, and SLCA within a single cradle-to-gate framework for the palm oil agroindustry in Indonesia, enabling a comprehensive and simultaneous sustainability evaluation

Abstract

The development of generic science skills is a crucial objective in contemporary science education to address the demands of 21st-century competencies. This study aims to explore the potential of a Hybrid STEM–Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model supported by web-based interactive learning environments and deep learning approaches in enhancing generic science skills within physics learning materials. A Hybrid Review methodology was employed, integrating a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and a Bibliometric Review. A total of 30 peer-reviewed articles indexed in Scopus and SINTA, published between 2020 and 2026, were systematically analyzed. Bibliometric mapping was used to identify research trends, thematic clusters, and emerging research gaps, while the SLR examined instructional designs, learning outcomes, and pedagogical effectiveness. The results indicate that STEM–PjBL consistently improves students’ generic science skills, including scientific reasoning, problem-solving, data interpretation, and conceptual modeling, particularly when supported by interactive web-based platforms. These platforms facilitate visualization, collaboration, and iterative inquiry processes that are essential in learning abstract physics concepts. Furthermore, the findings highlight that deep learning approaches offer strong potential to provide adaptive scaffolding, personalized feedback, and learning analytics to support students’ inquiry processes, although their implementation in STEM–PjBL contexts remains limited. This study concludes that the integration of STEM–PjBL, web-based interactivity, and deep learning constitutes a promising and scalable framework for advancing generic science skills and provides important implications for future research and instructional design in science education.
