Abstract

Hijaiyah letter recognition is a fundamental aspect of early Qur’anic literacy that requires developmentally appropriate teaching methods. However, early childhood education institutions still face challenges in selecting effective approaches to support children’s early reading skills. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the Al-Bayan method in improving Hijaiyah letter recognition among early childhood learners at TK Negeri Pembina Rantau, Aceh Tamiang Regency. The research employed a quantitative quasi-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest model. The sample consisted of 35 children selected through total sampling. Data were collected using Hijaiyah letter recognition tests and structured observation sheets. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, normality testing, paired sample t-test, and N-Gain analysis. The results showed a significant improvement in children’s Hijaiyah letter recognition after the implementation of the Al-Bayan method, with a mean difference of 26.30 and a significance value of p < 0.05. The N-Gain analysis indicated a moderate level of improvement, demonstrating the instructional effectiveness of the method. These findings suggest that the Al-Bayan method can be effectively implemented in early childhood Qur’anic learning to strengthen Hijaiyah letter recognition through structured repetition, guided practice, and child-centered instruction, providing practical guidance for educators in designing effective early Qur’anic literacy programs.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health issue in Indonesia due to its long-term effects on children’s growth, cognitive development, and future productivity. Despite government efforts, the implementation of integrated stunting prevention programs at the early childhood education level remains inconsistent. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Holistic Integrative Early Childhood Education (HI-ECE) program in preventing stunting in Aceh Tamiang Regency. A qualitative case study approach was employed involving 30 participants consisting of early childhood educators, principals, health workers, village officials, and parents from two early childhood education centers. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, supported by triangulation to ensure data credibility. The results show that educational services are the most consistently implemented component, particularly through the integration of hygiene, health, and nutrition awareness into daily learning activities. However, health, nutrition, caregiving, and child protection services remain limited and depend largely on external programs. Weak cross-sectoral coordination, limited human resources, and inconsistent parental participation hinder effective implementation. The study concludes that strengthening institutional capacity, formalizing intersectoral collaboration, and increasing parental engagement are essential to optimize early childhood education institutions as convergence points for sustainable stunting prevention

Abstract

Chayote is a fruit that has been used for centuries to treat various diseases, including hypertension. However, how the chemical compounds derived from chayote work in treating hypertension remains unclear. Integrating molecular docking and network pharmacology to elucidate the active constituents and potential mechanisms of chayote in treating hypertension. Initially, 50 active compounds from chayote and 97 key targets related to hypertension were identified through network pharmacology analysis. Then, the results of molecular docking and simulations showed: gibberellin A4; gibberellin A7; gibberellin A29; gibberellin A38; gibberellin A44; stigmasta-3,5-dien-7-one; stigmasterol and routinely overcome hypertension through the regulation of ACE, AKT1, ALB, SRC, and TNF genes. These compounds and genes may be key factors of chayote fruit in treating hypertension. Pathway enrichment analysis showed that the antihypertensive effect of chayote is regulated by the gibberellin A7 and TNF signaling pathways. These pathways are primarily associated with anti-oxidative stress, anti-inflammatory responses, and β-cell protection. This study identified the active constituents and potential signaling pathways involved in the antihypertensive effect of chayote. Result: These findings provide a theoretical basis for understanding the mechanism of the antihypertensive effect of chayote. Furthermore, this study may help develop health supplements or natural antihypertensive drugs based on chayote.

Abstract

This study examines the knowing-doing gap in environmental literacy among coal mine workers implementing ISO 14001:2015 at PT XYZ, South Sumatra. Despite being ISO 14001 certified, the gap between environmental knowledge and actual pro-environmental behavior remains a critical challenge in sustainable mining. Using a mixed-methods design, researchers surveyed 24 workers through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, field observations, and document analysis. Environmental literacy was assessed through three dimensions: knowledge, attitudes, and behavior, based on the McBeth & Volk framework. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (SPSS 25), while qualitative data were analyzed through thematic analysis. The results indicate high environmental literacy knowledge (83% understand the policy) and positive attitudes (>65% agree with environmental responsibility), but low consistent behavior with only 42% attending regular training and 38% participating in reclamation programs, indicating a 41% gap. Key barriers include productivity pressures, inflexible training schedules, the absence of an incentive system, and weak management role models. ISO 14001:2015 effectively enhances the knowledge dimension through policy dissemination and audits, but fails to drive behavioral change without complementary organizational mechanisms. This research contributes to a conceptual model that integrates individual literacy with organizational determinants, demonstrating that sustainable mining requires systemic interventions beyond administrative compliance

Abstract

Kecombrang can be categorized as a functional plant because it contains phytochemical compounds and antioxidants that can be further developed into herbal tea products. The objective of this study was to determine the phytochemical constituents and antioxidant activity of kecombrang tea processed at three different drying temperatures: 60, 70, and 80 °C. Phytochemical profiling was conducted using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The qualitative analysis included the identification of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, steroids, glycosides, and triterpenoids, while the quantitative analysis focused on total flavonoids and total phenolics. The results revealed that all tested phytochemical compounds were present in the kecombrang tea extracts except saponins. The highest total flavonoid content was observed at the drying temperature of 60 °C, reaching 32.21 mg QE/g extract, whereas the lowest was recorded at 80 °C with 8.61 mg QE/g extract. Interestingly, the extract processed at 80 °C exhibited the highest total phenolic content at 11.60 mg GAE/g extract, while the lowest phenolic content was found at 60 °C with 2.72 mg GAE/g extract. The strongest antioxidant activity was also observed at 80 °C, with an IC50 value of 34.92 ppm. Overall, increasing the drying temperature tended to decrease most phytochemical constituents.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration in Project-Based Learning (PjBL) within a Basic Science Concepts course, specifically focusing on the paradox between student perceptions and actual learning performance. A quantitative comparative design was employed, involving pre-service teachers divided into AI-reliant and non-AI groups. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires and project product assessment rubrics, then analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U test. The results reveal a significant disparity: while the AI group reported significantly higher perceptions of learning effectiveness and teamwork satisfaction, their actual product quality and conceptual depth in science were lower than those of the non-AI group. This suggests that AI integration may create an illusion of competence, where ease of information access reduces the depth of critical inquiry and collaborative synthesis. The study concludes that AI should function as a guided cognitive tool rather than a primary source in science education. These findings offer critical implications for educators to design AI-integrated PjBL that prioritizes conceptual understanding over technological convenience.

Abstract

Brain tumors are life-threatening central nervous system disorders requiring early and accurate diagnosis for effective clinical management. Although MRI is the standard modality for detection, manual interpretation remains prone to inconsistency, particularly for complex cases such as glioma. This study proposes an explainable deep learning framework integrating EfficientNet-B2 with a threshold-based two-stage classification scheme and Grad-CAM interpretability analysis. In the first stage, a one-versus-rest binary classifier with an optimized threshold (τ = 0.20) performs glioma detection; the second stage classifies remaining cases into meningioma, pituitary tumor, or normal. The dataset comprises 7,023 MRI images across four classes from a public Kaggle repository. Preprocessing includes CLAHE contrast enhancement, normalization, and augmentation. EfficientNet-B0 serves as the baseline. EfficientNet-B2 achieves 97.9% overall accuracy, outperforming the baseline (96.7%), with a glioma F1-score of 0.988 at the optimal threshold. Grad-CAM visualizations confirm the model focuses on anatomically relevant regions, enhancing transparency and clinical trustworthiness. The proposed framework demonstrates that combining architectural capacity, threshold-based inference, and explainability yields a reliable system for computer-aided brain tumor diagnosis.

Abstract

Particle Dynamics learning requires higher-order thinking skills, particularly critical thinking skills. However, many students still experience difficulties in analyzing problems and drawing appropriate inferences related to physics concepts. This study aims to analyze undergraduate students’ critical thinking skills profiles and examine the need for developing electronic student worksheets (E-Student Worksheets) for Particle Dynamics learning. A quantitative descriptive approach with a descriptive exploratory design was employed. The participants were 61 undergraduate students from a Physics Education program who had completed or were currently taking the Basic Physics course. The participants were selected using purposive sampling because they had prior exposure to Particle Dynamics concepts, making them suitable for critical thinking skills assessment and needs analysis. Data were collected using two instruments: a critical thinking skills test and a needs analysis questionnaire. The critical thinking skills test consisted of open-ended physics problems designed based on Facione’s framework of critical thinking indicators, including interpretation, analysis, evaluation, explanation, and inference. Descriptive statistical analysis using mean scores and percentages was applied to analyze the data. The results indicate that students’ critical thinking skills are generally low, with average scores ranging from 35 to 39 across all indicators, particularly in the areas of analysis and inference. Furthermore, the needs analysis results show that all indicators related to instructional material development fall within the “Needed” category (61–80%), supported by students’ high digital engagement. These findings imply that instructional materials should be designed to provide structured guidance that facilitates students’ reasoning processes in solving Particle Dynamics problems. Therefore, the development of critical thinking–integrated electronic student worksheets is considered urgent and has strong potential to improve the quality of Particle Dynamics learning at the undergraduate level
