<![CDATA[The development of the E-Book system in supporting learning literacy is very beneficial for students in the era of globalization. In today’s era of globalization, it has utilized the E-Book system in various schools in the learning system. The use of E-Books in learning has a positive impact on the present and the future. This study aims to understand the concept of utilizing the E-Book system in supporting students’ literacy and independent learning by utilizing the E-Book system in education and to find out the extent of the development of the E-Book system in education. So that teachers and students can use this E-Book system as a means of learning. The method used by the researcher in conducting this study is quantitative, with data obtained through disseminating questionnaires online using Google Forms. The word was processed using the SPSS application by statistical analysis through the ANOVA test; after completing the data test, the researcher presented the data in the form of graphs and tables containing respondents. The results of this study show that the introduction of an offline-based E-Book system will be able to support the literacy and independent learning of students in the world of education. Using the E-Book system in education brings various benefits, such as increasing student participation and supporting the understanding of complex concepts. Learning that utilizes the E-Book system has progressed compared to learning that still uses its own learning method, and cannot compete in the world of education. This study concludes that utilizing the E-Book system, especially independent learning, positively impacts education. The use of the E-Book system is expected to build interactive and effective learning resources. The use of the e-book system in education shows that it can improve the quality of learning and provide advantages in the educational process.]]>

<![CDATA[Anemia remains a common comorbidity complicating over 28% of pregnancy in Indonesia by 2023, Iron deficiency anemia is the most common, and to date, ferritin serum has been used as a diagnostic marker, but has not been routinely examined in pregnant women, thus hindering the accurate diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women. Our study aimed to examine ferritin serum among pregnant women, as well as, to investigate the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in the Dalu Sepuluh Health Center of Deli Serdang Regency. A total of 60 pregnant women were randomly selected to participate in this cross-sectional study. We found that iron deficiency anemia was most common in pregnant women aged 20 – 35 years old (75%), with second-trimester pregnancy (36.7%), multigravida, and multiparity. Interestingly, 57% of pregnant women were considered malnourished (upper arm circumference of < 23.5 cm) which was found in 36.7% of primigravida and is associated with moderate iron deficiency anemia (71.4%), marked with < 30µg/L ferritin serum (p < 0.05). Cut-off point of serum ferritin was 28.98 ng/dL with a sensitivity of 92% and a specificity of 91.4%, indicating that the body's iron levels are in low condition. This study indicated that lower levels of ferritin serum are associated with anemia in pregnant women. We suggested that ferritin serum be put as a mandatory routine examination in pregnancy.]]>

<![CDATA[The importance of algorithmic thinking in modern education has grown significantly, particularly in the context of computing education in high schools. As computational tools become more accessible, their role in enhancing students' problem-solving abilities has gained considerable attention. This study investigates how computational tools can improve algorithmic thinking among high school students and their overall engagement with computing subjects. The primary objective is to assess the impact of integrating computational tools, such as programming environments and visual coding platforms, on students' development of algorithmic skills. The study adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from pre-and post-tests measuring algorithmic thinking skills, and qualitative data through interviews and classroom observations. A total of 150 high school students from various educational backgrounds participated in the study over one semester. The results indicate a significant improvement in students’ algorithmic thinking abilities after exposure to computational tools, particularly in areas such as problem decomposition, abstraction, and logical reasoning. Additionally, students reported higher levels of motivation and interest in computing subjects. In conclusion, the integration of computational tools in high school computing education not only enhances algorithmic thinking but also fosters greater student engagement. These findings highlight the potential of using technology to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical application in computing education. Further research is encouraged to explore long-term effects and the scalability of these methods across diverse educational settings.]]>

<![CDATA[BackgroundThe integration of multimedia tools in education has become increasingly prevalent, especially in secondary education, as it is believed to enhance cognitive engagement and facilitate deeper learning. However, empirical studies comparing the effectiveness of different multimedia tools in fostering cognitive engagement in secondary education remain limited. This study aims to bridge this gap by evaluating the impact of multimedia tools on cognitive engagement in secondary school classrooms. PurposeThe primary objective of this research is to examine the effects of multimedia tools—such as videos, interactive simulations, and educational games—on students' cognitive engagement. The study compares traditional instructional methods with multimedia-enhanced teaching strategies to assess which approach leads to higher levels of cognitive engagement among secondary school students. MethodA comparative research design was employed, involving two groups of secondary school students. One group received traditional instruction, while the other engaged with multimedia tools during lessons. Data were collected using cognitive engagement scales, classroom observations, and student interviews. ResultsThe findings reveal that students using multimedia tools demonstrated significantly higher levels of cognitive engagement, particularly in tasks requiring problem-solving and critical thinking. Students expressed greater interest and motivation in lessons involving multimedia. ConclusionThe study concludes that multimedia tools effectively enhance cognitive engagement in secondary education. These tools should be incorporated into teaching practices to foster deeper learning and improve student outcomes.]]>
