Abstract

E-learning is not distinct from the use of technology, which includes a variety of digital platforms. Zenius, Ruangguru, Pahamify, and other online learning systems are currently available in Indonesia. There are various learning films on the learning platform, such as on the applications B and C, which both give a variety of features and materials that complement the curriculum K-13, particularly in chemistry. The qualitative descriptive methodologies were used in this investigation. The purpose of this research is to compare the quality of chemistry learning resources available on online learning applications that correspond to the 2013 curriculum. Data is gathered through the downloading and video monitoring of chemical compounds. Two learning apps, B and C, were utilized as examples. According to the findings of this study, application B has a bigger number of videos in the material than application C. In addition, the average video time on the B app is less topical than on the C app. A good learning video has an appropriate length. When the video is too long, the spectator becomes bored. The video's attributes should be clear, and a pleasant appearance, such as animation, can encourage students to follow.

Abstract

Lipstick is a widely used cosmetic product, particularly among women, designed from solid-based materials containing dissolved or suspended colorants that meet regulatory standards. Ensuring lipstick products are free from heavy metals, especially lead, is crucial as ingestion through food or drink is possible. According to BPOM regulations, the permissible lead content in cosmetics is 20 mg/kg or 20 mg/L (20 ppm). This study aimed to analyze the lead content in various lipstick products using UV-Vis spectrophotometry and validate the method's reliability through parameters such as accuracy, precision, linearity, limit of detection (LoD), and limit of quantification (LoQ).The methodology involved the use of Alizarin Red S as a complexing agent. Accuracy was determined at 99.21%, precision ranged from 0.1973% to 2.3905%, linearity was measured at 0.9986, and the LoD and LoQ values were 0.0726 ppm and 0.2420 ppm, respectively. The lead concentrations in local red lipstick, local peach lipstick, imported red lipstick, imported peach lipstick, and Arabic-style lipstick were 4.4831 ppm, 3.2675 ppm, 3.4701 ppm, 2.4675 ppm, and 2.4312 ppm, respectively. These findings confirm that all samples fall well below the maximum allowable lead concentration of 20 ppm as stipulated by BPOM.In conclusion, the tested lipsticks are considered safe for use in terms of lead content. This study underscores the importance of regular monitoring and stringent quality control in cosmetic production to ensure consumer safety.
