Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using Methylene Blue stain in the microscopic observation of frog skin cell structures. Cell staining is an essential technique in histological studies, as it enhances the visibility of cellular components that are otherwise difficult to observe without contrast. Methylene Blue is known to have a high affinity for acidic components within the cell nucleus, thus providing a clearer depiction of nuclear and cell membrane structures. This research employed a descriptive experimental method by preparing frog skin tissue samples stained with Methylene Blue and observing them under a light microscope. The results indicated that Methylene Blue staining produced high contrast, allowing for the identification of hexagonal-shaped cells and dark, centralized nuclei. The obtained microscopic images revealed a uniform distribution of cells with clearly observable morphological structures. Therefore, Methylene Blue is proven to be effective in enhancing the microscopic visualization of epithelial tissue in frog skin and is recommended for use in both educational and basic biological research contexts.

Abstract

Escherichia coli (E. coli) is an indicator bacteria that is often used to assess the level of microbial contamination in food and plants. This study aims to isolate and identify the presence of E. coli from Coleus amboinicus plants which are known to have antibacterial activity. Fresh leaf samples of C. amboinicus were taken from the home yard environment. Isolation was carried out using the serial dilution method and planting on eosin methylene blue (EMB) placement media. Identification was carried out based on colony morphology, Gram staining, and biochemical tests including IMViC (Indole, Methyl Red, Voges-Proskauer, Citrate). The results showed the presence of metallic green colonies on EMB, which showed the characteristics of E. coli. Biochemical tests showed Indole (+), Methyl Red (+), Voges-Proskauer (-), and Citrate (-), which confirmed the isolate as E. coli. The presence of E. coli in C. amboinicus indicates the possibility of environmental fecal contamination, and is a concern in the processing and consumption of this medicinal plant.

Abstract

Human Trafficking is a non-traditional security issue that is of particular concern for the Southeast Asian region. Thailand is the country that is most highlighted for this case, especially in sexual exploitation in the form of prostitution. Prostitution in Thailand is even included in the category of tourism for foreign tourists. This prostitution tourism contributes 60% of the country's income for the tourism sector, exceeding half of tourism income. Prostitution tourism is certainly very closely related to human trafficking, as can be seen in commercial sex workers (CSWs) who are mostly minors and women. The deep-rooted culture is a trigger for the rise of CSWs who mostly come from rural communities. The culture that comes from Buddhism as the largest teaching in Thailand is "returning favors", namely that children are obliged to help the family economy. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research method with a library research data collection technique to see the problem of human trafficking in Thailand with a constructivist approach. The results of the study will discuss human trafficking in Thailand, local culture that has an impact on the problem of human trafficking, and international responses to this problem. With this understanding, it is hoped that we will be able to see the problem of human trafficking from a social and normative perspective, which has so far only focused on international cooperation and law enforcement.

Abstract

The phenomenon of discrimination in group task distribution within higher education remains a social issue that rarely receives serious attention, particularly within the Islamic Guidance and Counseling department. This study aims to identify the forms, causes, and potential solutions to discrimination experienced by students in group work contexts. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through interviews with four informants. The findings reveal that discrimination arises due to stereotypes, unequal contributions, personal conflicts, and weak group communication. Proposed solutions include random group assignments, clear initial agreements on task distribution, and individual contribution assessments. These findings underscore the importance of instilling values of justice, inclusivity, and collaborative ethics in higher education learning environments.

Abstract

Agar is the main medium used in microbiology laboratories to grow bacteria and fungi because of its ability to form stable gels that are not easily degraded by microorganisms. However, the availability of expensive commercial agar and dependence on imports is a challenge for small-scale laboratories. This literature study aims to review the potential of natural materials such as local seaweed (Gracilaria sp.), banana peels, cassava starch, and coconut pulp as alternative media for microorganism growth. The results of the study indicate that Gracilaria has the ability to form gels similar to commercial agar, while banana peels and cassava starch are rich in nutrients but require the addition of thickeners. The main challenge lies in the sterilization process and media consistency. The use of these materials can be a cheap and sustainable solution in the development of microbiology media based on local resources.

Abstract

Reading literacy skills are an important foundation in the learning process of lower grade elementary school students. Unfortunately, many students have difficulty in understanding reading and have low reading interest. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the use of interactive children's stories in improving the reading literacy skills of lower grade elementary school students. The method used was a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design. The subjects of the study consisted of two classes: an experimental class that used interactive children's story media, and a control class that used conventional methods. The results showed that students who learned with interactive children's stories experienced significant improvements in three main aspects of literacy, namely word recognition, reading comprehension, and reading interest. This media provides a fun and contextual reading experience through a combination of audio, visuals, and interactivity. In addition, students are more enthusiastic and active during the learning process. Thus, interactive children's stories have proven effective as an alternative to innovative literacy learning that is in accordance with technological developments. It is recommended that teachers integrate this media into learning and schools support the development of infrastructure that supports the use of digital media in the classroom.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of psychological approaches in overcoming thinking disorders in elementary school children. The background of this study is the increasing cases of thinking disorders such as difficulty distinguishing reality, irrational thinking, and rigid thought patterns, which have a negative impact on children's learning processes and social interactions. Unfortunately, these disorders are often not identified early due to a lack of understanding from teachers and parents of the psychological symptoms that appear. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature review method (library research). Data sources come from accredited journals, child development psychology books, and relevant previous research results. The data analysis technique uses the Miles and Huberman model which includes the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that psychological approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), individual counseling, and play therapy have proven effective in helping children recognize, manage, and regulate negative thought patterns. This approach also improves children's communication skills and self-confidence. The success of the intervention is greatly influenced by the involvement of teachers and parents, as well as a safe and supportive learning environment. However, limited resources and a lack of professional staff are major obstacles in implementing interventions in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) method in improving the reading comprehension skills of grade III elementary school students. The background of this study is the low reading comprehension skills of students who are still dominated by conventional learning methods. This study uses a library research approach with a qualitative descriptive method. Data were obtained from various scientific literature such as journals, books, research reports, and other scientific works relevant to the topic. The analysis was carried out using content analysis techniques to identify the main findings related to the application of the CIRC method. The results of the study show that the CIRC method can significantly improve students' reading comprehension skills. This method emphasizes group work, active discussion, summary preparation, and writing skills, which in an integrated manner encourage students' active involvement and strengthen their understanding of the contents of the reading. In addition to improving reading comprehension, this method also develops students' critical thinking skills, social skills, and self-confidence. However, in its implementation, challenges such as time management, group dynamics, and teacher readiness are important factors that need to be considered. In conclusion, the CIRC method is an effective and applicable learning strategy to improve reading comprehension skills in elementary schools, with the note that the implementation must be carefully designed and supported by a conducive learning environment.

Abstract

The ability to read with comprehension is a fundamental skill that is very crucial for children in elementary school. However, many students face challenges due to lack of interest in reading and teaching methods that feel monotonous. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how effective comic media is in improving students' reading comprehension. Using a literature review approach through a qualitative descriptive method, this study explores relevant literature on comic media, educational theory, and reading ability. The findings of the study indicate that comics, which combine text elements with visuals, can attract students' attention, make it easier for them to understand reading, and create a fun and interactive learning atmosphere. In addition, comics are also in accordance with the characteristics of elementary school children who tend to have visual interests and require relevant learning media. With the right usage strategy, comic media can function as an innovative alternative in teaching Indonesian to improve students' literacy skills from the start.
