Abstract

Identification of Subterranean Termite Infestation in Residential Areas in Bogor Regency, West Java. Subterranean termites are one of the pests that attack buildings. The interaction between termites and buildings significantly affects the durability, safety, and comfort of residential structures. This study aimed to identify the types of termites found in residential environments and determine the intensity of damage and frequency of termite attacks on pine wood (Pinus merkusii). Wood samples cut into 2 cm x 2 cm x 46 cm were conducted using the graveyard test for three months. The identified termite species was Macrotermes gilvus (M. Gilvus). The attack intensity obtained showed that 55% of the wood samples experienced damage due to subterranean termite attacks near the residential building, 30% remained unaffected, and 15% showed damage with penetration ranging from 3% to 75% of the cross-section. These results were reinforced by the high frequency of termite attacks on bait wood, which reached 70% (>40%). These findings are useful for homeowners if the area is later used for building construction. Therefore, preliminary measures are needed to address termite infestations in the area before using it for future building construction.

Abstract

The Use Of Map Media: A Study Of Spatial Thinking Skills. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of using map media in improving students' spatial thinking skills in biosphere phase E (class X) material at SMAN 1 North Kampar. Spatial thinking is very important in science education to understand spatial relationships in ecosystems, but biosphere learning faces complex challenges related to the interaction of organisms and their environment. Therefore, the use of map media, both digital and printed, is integrated in ecosystem analysis and prediction of environmental change to improve students' understanding. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and Non-Equivalent Group Design. The research sample consisted of 30 students of class X3 as the experimental group and 30 students of class X1 as the control group. The intervention was conducted for two weeks in the odd semester. Data analysis using Independent Sample T-Test showed a significance value (sig = 0.001 <0.05), which means there is a significant difference between the two groups. N-Gain results showed that the experimental class had high effectiveness in spatial thinking (76.68%), while the control class was less effective (55.58%). These results show that map media can be used as an effective learning tool to improve students' spatial thinking skills. Teachers can utilize interactive or digital maps in ecology learning to clarify the concept of space and improve students' understanding of the biosphere.

Abstract

Validation of Atmospheric Instability Indices from Himawari-9 Against Radiosonde Observations. Remote sensing is crucial in measuring atmospheric instability by providing continuous spatial and temporal observations, often through satellite-based retrieval algorithms and numerical models. This study evaluates atmospheric instability indices derived from Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models using Himawari-9 satellite data. The results are compared with Radiosonde observations at the Tunggal Wulung Meteorological Observation Post, Cilacap, Central Java. The observation period includes four-time samples of Radiosonde observations identified with essential weather events. Atmospheric instability indices such as Showalter Index (SI), Lifting Index (LI), K Index (KI), Severe Weather Threat (SWEAT), and Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE) are used to analyze the dynamics of atmospheric instability that trigger important weather events such as rain. The research method involves processing Radiosonde observation data provided by Wyoming and satellite imagery using GMLSPD software. The results of this study reveal cloud images and instability index values ​​that explain the occurrence of essential weather events with a moderate category. Although some parameter values ​​differ from Radiosonde data, the NWP-GSM indices from Himawari-9 are in good agreement with Radiosonde measurements for certain instability index categories. These findings suggest that Himawari-9 GSM can complement and be an alternative to Radiosonde observations by providing continuous atmospheric instability analysis, especially during periods without Radiosonde measurements. This shows its potential to improve weather monitoring and forecasting. However, further research such as high computing power, seasonal pattern analysis, and reducing errors such as parallax errors are still needed to maximize the findings.

Abstract

In the digital era, the use of animated videos is necessary as a learning medium because it presents visual and audio forms without the need for direct observation. This study specifically focuses on improving learning outcomes in science subjects. This classroom action research was conducted in two cycles following Kemmis and Taggart’s model (1988). The research subjects involved were 24 seventh-grade students from SMP NU Miftakhul Jannah because the learning resources available at the school are not yet varied. Data were collected through observation and tests. Quantitative data analysis shows an increase from cycle I to cycle II from 58.24% to 83.2 %. These findings suggest that animated videos can serve as an effective tool for improving student learning outcomes, particularly in technology-integrated education.

Abstract

Antiviral Properties and Potential of Ginger (Zingiber Officinale) and Its Derivatives: A Systematic Review. Ginger has long been valued in traditional medicine for its therapeutic benefits. Recently, its antiviral capabilities have attracted significant interest, highlighting its potential as a natural antiviral agent. This systematic review seeks to thoroughly evaluate the antiviral effects of ginger and its active compounds, providing valuable insights to support future research and clinical applications in natural antiviral therapies. A comprehensive electronic search was undertaken across PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases, employing MeSH terms, Emtree, and relevant synonyms to capture studies on ginger and its antiviral effects. The initial search yielded 531 records, which were de-duplicated and subsequently screened by title and abstract using Rayyan software. Fourteen studies specifically addressing antiviral effects against human pathogens met the inclusion criteria. This systematic review was conducted in strict accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to ensure rigorous reporting of findings. The majority of included studies were in vitro, revealing anti-viral effects of ginger against various viruses, including Influenza A, Chikungunya, Dengue, hRSV, HSV-2, and SARS-CoV-2 in different cell lines across various concentrations. In addition, Ginger extracts also demonstrated efficacy against Influenza A in both in vivo and in ovo studies, and a randomized controlled trial showcased encouraging antiviral effects targeting SARS-CoV-2. Ginger shows promising antiviral effects in most of the in vitro studies. Translating these findings to in vivo models is imperative for clinical relevance. Further in vivo research is essential before progressing to human studies to ascertain ginger's potential as an effective antiviral agent

Abstract

Effect of Soaking Duration Bulb in 75% Old Coconut Water on Growth and Yield of Bima Brebes Shallot (Allium cepa L.): Plant Height, Leaf Count, Bulb Number, Bulb Diameter, and Bulb Weight. Shallot production in Central Kalimantan in 2021 decreased from the previous year due to the lack of application of growth regulators by farmers in addition to fertilizing. The provision of growth regulators from coconut water is one effort to increase crop production. Coconut water contains minerals and growth hormones that are very much needed by plants. Similar research has been conducted previously with 75% young coconut water, but the administration with old coconut water has not been carried out, so it becomes the basis for the research. This study aims to determine the effect of the duration of soaking shallot bulbs of the Bima Brebes variety in 75% old coconut water on the growth and yield of bulbs. The study was conducted in July-October 2023, located in Menteng Village, Palangka Raya City. This study used a 75% concentration of old coconut water with 5 different treatment levels based on a completely randomized design method with 8 replications. Observations and data collection included plant height, number of leaves, number of bulbs, bulb diameter, and wet weight of bulbs. The data obtained were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Least Significant Difference (LSD) with the help of SPSS software. The results of the ANOVA and LSD tests showed that soaking shallot bulbs in old coconut water had a significant effect on the number of bulbs (p value = 0.02 <0.05) with P2 = 10.13 and bulb weight (p value = 0.02 <0.05) with P2 = 8.10 g. The results of the analysis of plant height, number of leaves, and bulb diameter had no effect. Soaking shallot bulbs in old coconut water for 4 hours was quite optimal in increasing the number of bulbs and wet weight of bulbs compared to other treatments. Soaking the bulbs for 4 hours was able to increase the number of bulbs by 131% and the weight of bulbs by 169% so that these findings can be applied by shallot farmers in increasing bulb yields. The success rate of this study was greatly influenced by factors and constraints such as high humidity and low sunlight intensity, which can affect bulb development

Abstract

Analysis of Science Literacy Ability of 8th Grade Students in Junior High School. This study aims to determine the scientific literacy skills of 8th-grade students at SMP Cendekia Sidoarjo. This research is a non-experimental quantitative study using a survey method and descriptive statistical analysis techniques. The population and sample of this study consisted of 90 students, selected from the entire 8th-grade population at SMP Cendekia Sidoarjo. Data collection was carried out using an instrument consisting of a scientific literacy test with 18 questions based on scientific literacy indicators. The students' abilities were classified into achievement categories: very good, good, sufficient, poor, and very poor. The results indicate that the average scientific literacy ability of students falls into the sufficient category, with 75% on indicator 3, 67% on indicator 5, 72% on indicator 4, 64% on indicator 6, and 67% on indicator 9. Meanwhile, the poor and very poor categories are observed in indicator 7 (55%), indicator 1 (36%), indicator 2 (51%), and indicator 8 (53%). The study concludes that low scientific literacy skills can be influenced by various factors, including students' low reading interest, assessment tools that do not focus on developing scientific literacy, and the lack of practice in solving problems with PISA-style characteristics. Additionally, factors such as students' backgrounds, interests, study intensity, and attitudes toward science also contribute to the low scientific literacy achievements of students in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to enhance students’ problem-solving skills in physics, specifically in simple harmonic motion, by implementing a collaborative flipped classroom (FC) model based on discovery learning and the think-pair-share (TPS) method. Using a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group, the research involved 30 high school students in West Java across two classes. The experimental group participated in flipped classroom activities that incorporated TPS, where students worked in pairs to discuss and explain concepts. Pre-class sessions focused on conceptual understanding, while in-class activities emphasized problem-solving. Both groups received an e-learning module developed by the researchers, which included material descriptions, instructional videos, and guided worksheets. The experimental group showed a significantly higher N-gain (0.85) compared to the control group (0.64), with statistical analysis (independent T test, p<0.005) confirming a significant improvement in problem-solving skills.
