Abstract

General Background: Listening is a core receptive skill in English language learning and remains challenging for EFL learners due to limited exposure, time constraints, and difficulties in processing spoken language. Specific Background: At SMA Negeri 1 Bangil, short instructional hours and the absence of varied digital media have constrained students’ mastery of listening, particularly in understanding procedure texts. Knowledge Gap: Although audiovisual media are widely discussed, empirical classroom-based evidence on the use of animated videos for senior high school listening instruction in time-limited contexts remains limited. Aims: This study aims to examine whether the use of animated videos as learning media supports students’ English listening skill development within restricted classroom time. Results: Using a quantitative pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design with tenth-grade students, the findings show a statistically significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores, supported by normality testing and a paired sample t-test with a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05). Novelty: The study provides contextual evidence from a senior high school setting where animated videos had not previously been integrated into English instruction, addressing teacher concerns about practicality and classroom time limitations. Implications: The results suggest that animated videos can serve as a practical digital learning medium to support listening instruction, offering educators an alternative strategy for delivering procedure text material and managing limited instructional time in English language classrooms. Highlights: Statistically significant score differences were identified between assessments administered before and after the learning intervention. Quantitative testing confirmed that the collected data met normality requirements for hypothesis analysis. Classroom application demonstrated the feasibility of audiovisual materials under restricted instructional time conditions. Keywords: Animated Videos, Listening Skills, English Education, Procedure Text, Digital Learning Media

Abstract

Background: Islamic Religious Education plays an important role in shaping students’ intellectual and spiritual development; however, classroom practice in Fiqh learning often relies on conventional teacher-centered methods that limit students’ engagement and conceptual understanding. Specific Background: In many madrasah contexts, including MTs 01 Darussalam Kepahiang, students show limited participation and learning outcomes below the expected standard, particularly when learning abstract Islamic legal concepts that require deeper reasoning. Knowledge Gap: Although Problem-Based Learning (PBL) has been widely studied in general subjects, its application in Fiqh learning within Islamic religious education remains relatively limited. Aims: This study investigates the relationship between the implementation of Problem-Based Learning and students’ critical thinking skills and learning achievement in the Fiqh subject. Results: Using a quantitative quasi-experimental design with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design involving two classes, the experimental group applying PBL demonstrated higher improvement in post-test scores (81.7) compared with the control group using conventional instruction (70.4), with a statistical significance value of 0.001 (<0.05). Novelty: The study contextualizes Problem-Based Learning within Islamic Religious Education by integrating critical thinking development and Fiqh learning outcomes in a madrasah environment. Implications: These findings indicate that Problem-Based Learning supports active student participation, deeper conceptual understanding of Islamic law, and improved academic performance, suggesting its relevance as a student-centered instructional approach for Fiqh learning in Islamic educational institutions. Highlights • Experimental class displayed higher post-test score growth than the comparison class• Classroom observation recorded stronger discussion participation and questioning behavior• Quasi-experimental analysis identified statistically significant group differences (p < 0.05) Keywords Problem-Based Learning; Critical Thinking; Fiqh Learning Achievement; Islamic Religious Education; Quasi Experimental Design

Abstract

General Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia and progressive multisystem complications, including hepatic involvement. Specific Background: Hemoglobin A1c represents long-term glycemic control, while serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase are widely used biomarkers of hepatocellular injury in clinical practice. Knowledge Gap: Despite routine use of these parameters, evidence describing their statistical relationship in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients remains limited, particularly in Indonesian clinical settings. Aims: This study aimed to analyze the correlation between HbA1c levels and SGOT and SGPT levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Results: A quantitative analytical cross-sectional design was applied to 30 patients aged over 45 years. Kendall’s tau-b analysis demonstrated a significant positive correlation between HbA1c and SGOT (p=0.000; r=0.557) and between HbA1c and SGPT (p=0.018; r=0.317), indicating moderate and low correlation strengths, respectively. Novelty: This study provides empirical evidence linking long-term glycemic control indicators with liver enzyme alterations among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in a hospital-based Indonesian population. Implications: The findings suggest that elevated HbA1c levels are associated with increased liver enzyme levels, supporting the integration of glycemic monitoring and liver function assessment in the comprehensive management of type 2 diabetes mellitus.Highlights: Long-term glycemic status showed a statistically significant relationship with hepatic enzyme levels. The association strength differed between transaminase parameters, with a stronger pattern observed for AST. Elevated biochemical markers indicated potential hepatic involvement among older diabetic patients. Keywords : Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, HbA1c, SGOT, SGPT, Liver Function

Abstract

Economic growth and unemployment rates are two macroeconomic indicators used to measure the government's success in improving the welfare of the people. Low economic growth will lead to high unemployment rates, which is in line with Okun's law. Over the past two years, East Java's economic growth has contracted but has not been accompanied by a decline in unemployment rates. This is interesting considering that reality does not align with theory. This study aims to examine the consistency of Okun's law with reality both before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. What is interesting about this study is that the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly changed the economy of East Java. This reality has actually improved the relationship between economic growth and unemployment rates. Based on Pearson's correlation coefficient, an inverse relationship was found between the pre- and post-pandemic periods. Therefore, it can be concluded that external interventions such as a pandemic can improve the relationship between the two variables to an appropriate level. The implications of these findings indicate that post-pandemic economic recovery needs to be directed towards strengthening labour-intensive sectors that absorb a large workforce. Policies to develop MSMEs, downstreaming, and improving skills after the pandemic could be the key to making East Java's economic growth more inclusive while reducing unemployment. Highlights: Tests Okun’s law consistency in East Java before and after COVID-19. Finds inverse correlation between growth and unemployment post-pandemic. Recommends post-pandemic recovery through labour-intensive and MSME sectors. Keywords: Economic Growth, Open Unemployment Rate, Okun's Curve, Pandemic, Pearson
