Abstract

Empty fruit bunches of Palm Oil (EFB) are a potential source of biomass energy because they contain lignocellulose (cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) so that they can be converted into biopellets for co-firing. The purpose of this research is to determine the raw material properties of EFB in the form of proximate, ultimate, lignin, and biopellets. Using a pelletizer, biopellets are created by adding starch as an adhesive. The raw material characteristics of EFB from proximate analysis revealed moisture content of 11.98%, ash content of 6.53%, volatile matter content of 65.15%, and fixed carbon content of 16.44%. According to the final study results, the biopellets from empty fruit bunches included 48.53% C, 6.05% H, 0.32% N, 36.8% O, and 0.08% Sulphure. The atomic ratio obtained from the final analysis results could be used to determine the calorific value that can be used for fuel; the biopellet calorific value of EFB is 4,583 kcal/kg, with Hardgrove Grindability Index (HGI) values of 78.6 and Ash Fusion Temperature (AFT) 1100oC. The lower the value of the atomic ratio contained, the higher the calorific value contained in a specific fuel.

Abstract

Sambal is often found in various menu variants served in the Indonesian food industry; this is a supporting factor for creating bottled chili sauce. In this research, fermented black garlic chili sauce was made with black garlic as raw material to provide added value in the form of antibacterial and antioxidant compounds, as well as giving a novelty value to the product as well as a differentiator in the elements of color, aroma, consistency, and taste of the product. The final product consumers receive is compared to "Cahyo" garlic chili sauce produced by PT. Deltasari Indah Restaurant. Sambal contains oil/fat, which is quickly rancid, thus affecting the element of consumer acceptance. Therefore, it is necessary to predict the shelf life of bottled chili products. This research aims to predict the shelf life of the black garlic chili sauce and “Cahyo” garlic chili sauce products in bottles produced by PT. Deltasari Indah Restaurant with the ASLT method, the Arrhenius model approach; Knowing the difference in the shelf life of bottled chili products stored at different temperature conditions; and determining the proper temperature and storage conditions to get the maximum shelf life for packaged chili products. This study uses the Accelerated Shelf-Life Testing method with the Arrhenius model. Based on the pH value parameter, the shelf life of black garlic chili sauce was 33 days, and “Cahyo” garlic chili sauce was 45 days. These two results are the results of the shelf life obtained from calculations at 20˚C and 25˚C then the average value is taken.

Abstract

Contextualization, localization, and indigenization have touched the ground of the dominant cultural character of learners. The teaching and learning process in the K to 12 curricula has integrated its essence. However, in recent ages,s the border-crossing of digital culture among learners was prevalent in their attitudes and learning preferences. Cognitive preferences such as the students’ brain dominance must be considered in the lesson planning as an additional option. With a transformative worldview through an action research design, the study evoked the effects of Mathematics Engagement Clinic (MEC) grounded on brain dominance or the whole brain theory to critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and mathematics achievement. MEC has different effects on the left and right brain dominant participants in terms of their thinking processes such as critical thinking and problem-solving skills. In particular, left brain dominant participants have a distinct behavioral cognition which the researcher called affirmation behavioral learning. The implication of affirmation behavioral learning to the whole brain theory was a notion that brain dominance groups might have specific behavioral cognition. As for this study, affirmation behavioral learning was evident and observed among left-brain dominant participants. As affirmed by the quantitative results, the enhancement program Mathematics Engagement Clinic (MEC) grounded on the whole brain theory or brain dominance can hone thinking processes such as critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and thereby, improve mathematics achievement. Despite the abnormality distribution of participants in the study MEC has managed to cater to the participants’ preferences. With the positive effect of the enhancement program, MEC grounded on brain dominance on the thinking processes and mathematics achievement of the participants, the researcher has constructed a modular mathematics enhancement program framework as a guide to researchers, and other interested parties in the planning, designing, redesigning and implementing modular mathematics enhancement programs grounded on brain dominance to hone and enhance thinking processes such as critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and thereby, improve mathematics achievement.

Abstract

When the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in our country, the education sector explored the availability of technologies that might be helpful to ensure the delivery of quality education to learners despite the sudden shift in learning modality, that is, from face-to-face to blended learning. The Sulong Edukalidad, a move of the Department of Education to innovate Philippine Education under COVID-19 provided online training and webinars that prepared Filipino teachers in facing the new normal of the education setting. One of which is the utilization of the e-book Kotobee Readers as an interactive learning tool. E-books are one of the many software programs being developed to enhance teaching in the field of education. E-books are publications that can give students information and instructions in the form of multimedia flexibly and efficiently, thereby supporting and improving learning. In this regard, our team aims to explore the potential of the utilization of the e-book Kotobee reader as an interactive learning tool for developing 8th Grade Mathematical skills during the Covid-19 pandemic, focusing on the average percentage of the participants before and after the utilization of the e-book, their level of performance during the utilization of the said learning material, the challenges encountered by the participants and also identifying the positive traits of Kotobee that helped the students learn. The research design to be used for this research will be a quasi-experimental approach. This research design is intended for an interventional study used to estimate the impact of an interactive–based lesson using the Kotobee e-book on the Grade 8 students in developing their mathematical skills The participants involved in this research are the selected Grade 8 – Rose learners in Mataas na Paaralang Neptali A. Gonzales Our team implemented a series of interventions about topics in Quarter III which the lectures and activities can be found in the said e- book. Students’ usage of the Kotobee e-book app daily was tracked in an Inquiry report. Students’ scores in each activity will be tallied at the end of each quarter for assessment. This will assist us in determining how well the students performed after they have used the Kotobee e-book. A separate learning activity sheet (LAS), validated by the Master Teacher in charge of JHS Mathematics, was administered weekly to be able to validate the performance of the learners for a specific topic taught while using the e-Book. At the end of the Quarter, a post-test was administered to be able to determine the performance of the students. Data collected showed that using the Kotobee e-book, it has affected how well the participants do in Mathematics 8 Quarter III, as shown by the significant difference between the mean percentage scores on the pre-test and the mean percentage scores on the summative test. Students learn while using the Kotobee e-book, based on the results of their weekly assessments and their quarterly test.

Abstract

Student participation has received a lot of attention in recent decades as a result of moves toward student-centeredness, as well as promising research that suggests a link between student engagement and academic success. The researchers wanted to see how computer-generated software/applications influenced the academic performance of senior high school students. The randomized Pretest-Posttest control group design was used in this study. This study included only 40 students in Grade 11. The cover of the lesson depicts science, and the materials used are computers and cellphones, with Appgeyser serving as the application that the lessons were integrated into. The games were sent to students studying science in grade 11-Life Science and installed on their cellphones by the researchers. Giving a Pre-Test before the lesson and a Post-Test after the lesson was one of the strategies used in this study for each class. For groups 1, the lesson was delivered in a modular format using technology such as a cell phone and a computer application. Based on the data gathered, the researchers concluded that students who used mobile games performed better during the post-test than students who used SLMs. The MASIPAG mobile game was also more effective in teaching life science when compared to modular learning. The use of mobile phone games versus the use of SLMs during pandemic education was found to be significantly different in post-test results. The researcher recommended that teachers use a variety of computer applications in their classrooms based on the findings and conclusions of the study. More strategies for engaging teaching-learning situations should be developed.
