Abstract

The Indonesian people realize it or not, there is a dualism in education: General Education and Religious Education. One type of religious education (in this case Islam) is "Pondok Pesantren". Research on the traditionalization and modernization of Miftahul Hidayah Pondok pesantren education uses qualitative methods. Because this research is descriptive in nature, the data are described in their natural state or as they are and the data collected is in the form of words or pictures rather than numbers. The forms of traditionalism that are still maintained by the Miftahul Hidayah Pondok pesantren are the application of the sorogan method, and the recitation of wetonan and halaqoh. The form of modernization absorbed by the Miftahul Hidayah Pondok pesantren through several things, namely teaching methods, the form of the Pondok pesantren building and the Pondok pesantren curriculum. While the traditional systems that are still being preserved are the wetonan and sorogan systems which still use the yellow book and the respect for the kyai and their ustadz is so strong

Abstract

Indonesia is a megabiodiversity country with the second-largest abundance of biodiversity in the world. Temu kunci (Boesenbergia rotunda (L.)) is a well-known traditional medicinal plant in Indonesia with many nutritional and therapeutic benefits. It is known to have good pharmacological activity, which is due to the content of secondary metabolites commonly known as pinostrobin. However, more scientific data is still needed to justify its increased use, especially regarding its pharmacokinetics and safety. The aim of the research was to predict the pharmacokinetic properties of pinostrobin compounds. The pinostrobin compound was obtained from PubChem, accessible at https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/, and then pharmacokinetic analysis was carried out using a web tool (https://biosig.lab.uq.edu.au/pkcsm/prediction). The research results show that the pinostrobin compound is a compound that has pharmacokinetic properties, showing that this compound has poor distribution and toxicity capabilities.

Abstract

The Covid-19 virus outbreak has changed the learning process in higher education from face-to-face learning to distance learning online (on the network). Distance learning via online raises obstacles or challenges faced by both lecturers and students. This research aims to determine the obstacles to online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic among prospective science teacher students at Mataram State Islamic University. This type of research is descriptive qualitative research using Internet-based research methods through the distribution of Google forms. The research population was all Tadris IPA Biology students and there were 23 students as respondents. Research data analysis uses qualitative analysis techniques. From the research results, it was concluded that the obstacles faced by students include network disruption, limited and expensive internet quota, e-learning disruption, lack of lecturer explanations, an environment that disrupts focus on learning, and economic problems

Abstract

This research assesses the efficacy and safety of employing antiviral drugs in individuals with COVID-19 and chronic kidney disease. The study results reveal a reduced effectiveness of the drug in enhancing oxygen saturation in patients, as indicated by a p-value of 0.026 for SpO2. Consequently, the administration of antiviral drugs to individuals with chronic kidney disease warrants careful consideration. Moreover, there is a need to pay attention to the safety aspects of antiviral drug utilization, particularly with a p-value of 0.026 for Clcr. It is advisable to refrain from using specific antiviral drugs, such as favipiravir, in COVID-19 patients with chronic kidney conditions. However, contemplating the use of remdesivir at an appropriate dosage may be viable if the patient's glomerular filtration rate (GFR) exceeds 30 ml/minute. The study's conclusion underscores the significance of meticulous and personalized management when employing antiviral drugs in COVID-19 patients with chronic kidney disease. A comprehensive consideration of factors such as effectiveness, safety, and the patient's renal health is imperative to ensure an optimal and tailored treatment approach.

Abstract

The growth and development of toddlers greatly influences the quality of human resources in the future so that the toddler years are an important period in human development. In nutritional development, food has an important role in growth. During the toddler years, apart from breast milk, babies also need additional food, namely MP-ASI. MP-ASI can be contaminated by chemical and biological contaminants, one of the biological contaminants in food is bacteria. The TPC (Total Plate Count) test is a test used to count the number of bacterial colonies in the media being tested. The stages carried out before testing are sample dilution and media formulation. This research aims to determine whether or not there are bacteria in samples of Home industry Baby Porridge sold in the city of Malang. The samples studied were 8 samples. The sampling technique was carried out by purposive sampling. Based on the research that has been carried out, it can be concluded that of the 8 samples of home industry baby porridge sold in the city of Malang, 2 samples meet the requirements with the condition that the number of colonies is 2 x 10 2 colonies/g. The remaining 6 samples did not meet the requirements.

Abstract

Individuals with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) face an elevated risk of severe COVID-19 infection. A comprehensive investigation into the effectiveness of antiviral medications in treating COVID-19 patients is imperative. The primary goal is to assess the severity of the illness and the efficacy of antiviral drugs in individuals with COVID-19 and CKD following antiviral treatment at Dr. Soedomo Trenggalek Hospital. This study adopts a cross-sectional approach, employing purposive sampling for sample selection. Retrospective data from 2022 medical records of COVID-19 patients diagnosed with CKD are analyzed. The research findings highlight the efficacy of antiviral drugs in diminishing inflammation levels in COVID-19 patients, as indicated by a significant p-value of 0.000. However, the leukocyte data proved inadequate in determining the reduction in inflammatory levels. Therefore, obtaining data on C-reactive protein (CVR) and lymphocytes is crucial for a more accurate measurement. The p-value for ClCr is 0.842.

Abstract

This study seeks to evaluate the influence of return on assets (ROA), net profit margin (NPM), and debt-to-equity ratio (DER) on the stock returns of manufacturing companies within the consumer goods sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period from 2018 to 2021. The investigation encompasses a population of 74 companies within this industry, and employing purposive sampling, a total of 8 companies were chosen as the sample. The research employs a quantitative analysis, specifically adopting an associative research approach. The findings reveal that both ROA and NPM exert a significant individual impact on stock returns, whereas the DER variable does not exhibit a statistically significant influence. Moreover, when considered collectively, the three variables (ROA, NPM, DER) demonstrate a substantial combined effect on stock returns.
