Abstract

Critical thinking skills are the active thinking process by someone by analyzing information, questioning the truth by remembering old memories so that a conclusion is obtained. Critical thinking skills are influenced by student readiness factors in learning including planning, monitoring and evaluation. Therefore, students with low critical thinking skills need to improve thinking skills by planning the systematic learning through empowerment of metacognitive skills. This study aims to determine the correlation between critical thinking skills with the metacognitive skills on ecosystem material. This research was conducted at SMAN 13 Jakarta in year 2021/2022. The method used is a quantitative descriptive method with a correlation study. This research consists of two variables, namely critical thinking skills as independent variables and metacognitive skills as a dependent variable. The sample used was 135 students of class XI MIPA which had obtained the elected ecosystem material through the Simple Random Sampling technique. Data collection is done through survey techniques using critical thinking skills tests and metacognitive skills tests. Based on the results of the study obtained a correlation coefficient of 0, 346 in the correlation of critical thinking skills with student metacognitive skills on ecosystem material. The results of the analysis show that there is a positive correlation between critical thinking skills with student metacognitive skills on ecosystem material.

Abstract

Coffee is a plant that can grow in tropical and subtropical areas with suitable areas, namely at an altitude of 1,000-2,100 meters above sea level, for example, which is often found in Colo village, Dawe district, Kudus City, Indonesia. This study aims to determine the quality of preparations for foot sanitizer from coffee and cinnamon extracts. The method used in this experiment is the experimental method. Coffee and cinnamon extracts can be obtained by maceration or soaking. The coffee extract was given a variation of maceration for 38 and 46 hours. The materials used in this experiment were coffee extract 60%, cinnamon extract 10%, glycerin 10%, ethanol 19.5%, and coffee essence 0.5%. Evaluation of foot sanitizer preparations was carried out in 3 stages, namely organoleptic tests including shape, aroma, color, texture, dry time on the skin, irritation, and level of preference for the formulation. Physical preparation tests include pH, clarity, stability, and homogeneity tests. The antibacterial test was carried out based on the area of the inhibition zone to determine the variation of the best spray preparation foot sanitizer to inhibit bacteria. It can be concluded that the preparation of foot sanitizer F2 (R. 46 hours) is more effective than the preparation of foot sanitizer F (R. 38 hours) with a higher pH value, color, level of preference, and antibacterial activity. It is hoped that in the future the manufacture of foot sanitizers can be produced and disseminated to the wider community.

Abstract

Helminthiasis or worm infection is caused by worm parasites belonging to Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH) group. Helminthiasis in human often occurs due to environmental factors and personal hygiene issue. The gold standard diagnosis of helminthiasis is done by identifying the worm eggs in the feces or stool. Based on its transmission, helminthiasis examination can be done by observing the nails. This study analyzed the prevalence of helminthiasis in nails and stool and examined the differences in the yield of helminth eggs between nail and stool. A simple random sampling technique was conducted to select 50 scavengers at Jatibarang Landfill, Semarang. Univariate analysis was used as data analysis tool to determine the prevalence of worm infections, while bivariate analysis in the form of Mann Whitney differential test was employed to determine the gap in the number of Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH) worm eggs in nail and feces samples. Ascaris lumbricoides worm eggs appear dominated the infections, with infection rates through nail of 2% and feces of 12%. p = 0.049 (<0.05) was obtained in the Mann Whitney test, indicating the presence of significant difference and implying that nail test cannot replace stool test as the gold standard of helminthiasis diagnosis.

Abstract

Beetles are insects that have the highest species diversity and abundance of individuals and have various roles in the ecosystem. Changes in land use will certainly affect the diversity, abundance, and dominance of beetles in an ecosystem. This study aims to determine species diversity, species abundance, and individual dominance of beetles, and to compare beetle diversity on non-built land (rice fields and vacant land) compared to built-up land (4 UAD campus and housing). The method in this study is a survey method. Sampling was carried out in October-December 2021 at each sampling location for the UAD 4 campus area, rice fields, housing, and vacant land in Banguntapan District, DIY using pitfall trap planted in the morning and taken in the afternoon, also direct sampling was carried out using bare hand. The beetles that have been obtained are then taken to the laboratory for the identification process. The highest beetle diversity index value was in the rice fields of Banguntapan District, DIY, which was 2,302, while the lowest beetle diversity index value was on campus 4, which was 0.725. The beetle species with the highest species abundance was Gonocephalum sp., while the beetle with the lowest species abundance was Bradycellus nigrinus, Cassida circumdata, Aspidomorpha sanctaecrusis, Verania lineata, and Onthophagus sp. The dominant beetle was Gonocephalum sp., while the less dominant beetle was B. nigrinus.
