Abstract

The Marygold flower (Tagetes erecta L.) exhibits numerous pharmacological properties. The marigold flower promotes hair development. Antioxidant substances that contribute to hair growth include alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. This research was conducted to determine the efficacy of ethanol extracts from Marygold flowers (Tagetes Erecta L.) as hair growers in male rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). In a post-test-only control-group design, this study employed an experimental methodology. Thirty male rabbits served as test subjects in this study, which used one-way ANOVA. The KTL method was used in this study to determine the chemical constituent content of the ethanol extract of Marygold flowers at 5%, 10%, and 20% concentrations. Then, the length and density of the rabbit hair were measured to test the activity of hair growth. On days 7, 14, and 21, hair growth length was measured. On day 21, however, hair weight (density) was measured. Compounds from the flavonoid group (Rf 0.50 & 0.76), tannins (Rf 0.33 & 0.64), saponins (Rf 0.36 & 0.80), and alkaloids (Rf 0.33 & 0.62) were all positively present in the Marygold flower ethanol extract. The 20% concentration of Marygold flower ethanol extract exhibited the highest activity (p<0.05) in tests of hair density and length growth. The ethanol extract from Marygold flowers promotes hair growth in male rabbits, making their hair longer and denser.

Abstract

Education in the 21st century emphasizes active student engagement, where intrinsic motivation is expected to emerge as observable cognitive participation, particularly through verbal discussions. However, although Lesson Study (LS) and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) are widely reported to strengthen intrinsic motivation, high motivation does not always translate into high verbal cognitive engagement, indicating a potential mismatch influenced by non-cognitive factors. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Lesson Study (LS) and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in fostering students' intrinsic motivation and identify non-cognitive factors that influence the mismatch between motivation and verbal cognitive engagement. This descriptive study used mixed methods, involving 25 students of the Physics Education Study Program. Data were collected through motivation questionnaires (quantitative) and transcripts of group discussion recordings (qualitative) during the implementation of Lesson Study and PBL and processed using descriptive statistics. The quantitative results showed that students' learning motivation was in the high category across all indicators, including persistence, interest, achievement, and independence. However, the qualitative results of the transcripts of verbal cognitive engagement revealed significant variation, where some students exhibited low verbal activity despite having high motivation levels. This inconsistency suggests that high intrinsic motivation has not yet fully translated into active cognitive engagement due to the intervention of affective, social, and situational factors. Thus, Lesson Study and PBL have proven effective in fostering intrinsic motivation, but strengthening collaborative strategies is necessary to ensure optimal cognitive engagement for each individual.

Abstract

Hair loss and slow hair growth remain common cosmetic concerns, while prolonged use of synthetic hair growth agents may pose safety and sustainability issues. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and stability of a natural hair tonic spray formulated from water pumpkin (Lagenaria siceraria (Molina) Standl.) fruit extract. The extract was prepared using ethanol maceration and incorporated into three formulations with concentrations of 5%, 10%, and 15%. Effectiveness was assessed through a Tanaka hair growth test on rabbits for 21 days, while stability was evaluated through a 28-day cycling test, involving alternating temperature cycles (2–8°C, 25°C, and 40°C). The results indicated that all formulations exhibited stable organoleptic characteristics, pH, and homogeneity throughout storage. The F3 formula (15%) demonstrated the highest hair growth activity (2.4 cm average length), comparable to the positive control (2.7 cm). The enhanced hair growth effect is attributed to flavonoids and saponins that improve microcirculation around follicles and stimulate keratinocyte proliferation. This research highlights the potential of water pumpkin fruit extract as a sustainable and cost-effective natural alternative to synthetic hair growth agents. Future studies should explore optimization of formulation stability and molecular mechanisms underlying follicular activation.

Abstract

Education quality is fundamentally influenced by various factors, with the school environment playing a crucial role in shaping student learning outcomes. The school environment encompasses physical, social, and academic aspects that collectively affect students' comfort and motivation to learn. This study aims to determine the relationship between school environmental factors and biology learning outcomes of grade VII MTsN 3 Mataram students. The school environment encompasses physical, social, and academic aspects that collectively impact students' comfort and motivation to learn. This study employs a correlational, quantitative, descriptive method. The population consisted of all students of grade VII, with samples taken from grades VII-4 and VII-5 using purposive sampling techniques. Data collection techniques include questionnaires and documentation of student learning outcomes. The questionnaire instrument was validated using Aiken's V formula and tested for reliability with Cronbach's alpha, both of which yielded valid and reliable results. The normality test indicates that the data are normally distributed, and the linearity test reveals a linear relationship between the variables. Correlation analysis yielded a coefficient of r = 0.608, indicating a strong and significant relationship at a 5% significance level (r calculated exceeds the r table value). Thus, it is concluded that there is a positive and significant relationship between school environmental factors and students' biology learning outcomes. These findings can serve as input for teachers and schools in creating a supportive learning environment to enhance the educational process.

Abstract

Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is a major cause of nosocomial diarrhea worldwide, and limitations of standard antibiotic therapy have driven the adoption of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) as an alternative therapeutic approach. Although FMT achieves clinical success in most patients, treatment failure still occurs in a considerable proportion of cases. Existing literature has examined overall FMT efficacy, yet no review has comprehensively synthesized the multifactorial determinants of FMT failure while incorporating age-related considerations. This narrative review provides an integrative overview of factors contributing to FMT failure in adults with CDI. A literature search of PubMed and Google Scholar identified original research articles published between 2015 and 2025. Evidence indicates that FMT failure is influenced by host-related factors such as comorbidities, immune function, and nutritional status; disease-related characteristics, including CDI severity and recurrence history; technical aspects, such as bowel preparation, donor type, and route of administration; and pharmacological factors, including antibiotic exposure before or after the procedure. These factors collectively affect donor microbiota engraftment and increase the risk of therapeutic failure. Age-related physiological and microbiome changes may additionally modify treatment responses. This review highlights the need for comprehensive patient assessment, standardized procedural protocols, and careful post-FMT monitoring. Addressing current evidence gaps and improving clinical guidance will be essential for optimizing the safety and effectiveness of FMT across different adult age groups.

Abstract

Misconceptions in vibration and wave topics remain a common problem in junior high school science learning, particularly due to the abstract nature of the concepts and their limited direct observability. This study aimed to analyze students' conceptual shifts on vibration and wave concepts through the implementation of a Deep Learning approach supported by a Mechanical KIT. The study employed a one-group pretest–posttest experimental design involving three classes, comprising one experimental class and two replication classes, with a total of 69 eighth-grade students serving as research participants. A three-tier diagnostic test consisting of ten multiple-choice items was used to identify students' conceptual categories, including guessing, lack of conceptual understanding, misconception, and sound conceptual understanding. The data were analyzed descriptively using SPSS to examine the direction and quality of students' conceptual shifts before and after the intervention. The results indicated that the Deep Learning approach, assisted by the Mechanical KIT, effectively facilitated positive conceptual shifts, as evidenced by a dominant transition from misconceptions, a lack of understanding, and guessing toward sound conceptual understanding across all classes. The most substantial conceptual improvements were observed in indicators related to the relationships among frequency, period, and amplitude, while relatively lower shifts occurred in concepts requiring higher levels of mathematical reasoning. These findings suggest that integrating a Deep Learning approach with concrete instructional media, such as a Mechanical KIT, is effective in promoting meaningful conceptual reconstruction and reducing misconceptions in vibration and wave learning.

Abstract

Natural Science is an important subject that connects scientific concepts with real-life contexts. However, students’ cognitive learning outcomes at SMPN 45 Pekanbaru remain relatively low due to the application of teaching methods that are not yet optimal and unengaging learning media, particularly in the Solar System topic, which is inherently abstract. This study aims to describe students’ cognitive learning outcomes and to determine the improvement in learning outcomes after the application of a cooperative learning model using the Gallery Walk strategy. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a posttest-only control group design. The population consisted of all seventh-grade students of SMPN 45 Pekanbaru, comprising four classes with a total of 160 students. The sample was selected using simple random sampling, resulting in two homogeneous classes totalling 80 students. The instrument used was a written cognitive learning test consisting of 20 multiple-choice questions. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical analyses. The results showed that the experimental group recorded a mean score of 81, which fell into the good category, whereas the control group showed a comparatively lower average score. Inferential analysis using the Mann–Whitney test indicated a statistically meaningful difference in students’ cognitive learning outcomes between the experimental and control classes (Asymp. Sig. = 0.001 < 0.05). Therefore, the application of the Gallery Walk method has proven to be effective and feasible for improving the cognitive learning outcomes of seventh-grade students on the Solar System topic at SMPN 45 Pekanbaru. These findings suggest that the Gallery Walk method can serve as an alternative instructional strategy for science teachers to enhance students’ cognitive learning outcomes, particularly on abstract topics such as the Solar System.
