<![CDATA[Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia due to insulin deficiency or insulin resistance. Prolonged hyperglycemia can trigger oxidative stress and liver damage characterized by increased levels of SGOT and SGPT enzymes. This study aims to determine the effect of henna leaf extract (Impatiens balsamina L.) on SGOT and SGPT in alloxan-induced Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus L.). The study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with six treatment groups and four replications, namely KN (normal control), K- (alloxan 150 mg/kg BW), K+ (alloxan + glibenclamide), P1 (alloxan + extract 450 mg/kg BW), P2 (alloxan + extract 500 mg/kg BW), and P3 (alloxan + extract 550 mg/kg BW). Data were analyzed using One Way ANOVA and Duncan's test. The results of the study showed that henna leaf extract had an effect on liver SGPT and SGOT levels in male white rats induced by alloxan. Henna leaf extract at a dose of 500 mg/kg body weight was proven to be effective in reducing SGPT and SGOT levels in rats induced by alloxan at 150 mg/kg body weight.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the perceptions of teachers in West Aceh regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in learning. Perceptions were measured through five key dimensions: (1) Perceived Usefulness, (2) Perceived Ease of Use, (3) Attitude towards AI, (4) Perceived Risk and Concern, and (5) Readiness and Behavioral Control. The research employed a descriptive quantitative approach with a survey method. The research sample consisted of 29 teachers from various educational levels in West Aceh, selected purposively. Data were collected using a closed-ended questionnaire with a Likert scale and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results indicate that teachers' perceptions are overwhelmingly positive. The dimension of Readiness and Behavioral Control received the highest score (87.07%), followed by Perceived Usefulness (84.48%), Attitude towards AI (82.93%), and Perceived Ease of Use (82.76%), all of which are in the high category. Conversely, the Perceived Risk and Concern dimension recorded the lowest percentage (38.10%), indicating that teachers do not perceive AI as a significant threat or risk in educational practice. These findings depict a highly conducive environment for AI adoption, where teachers feel ready, see clear benefits, and have minimal concerns. Based on the findings, this study recommends enhancing practical competency-based training programs, establishing teacher learning communities, developing ethical guidelines, and strengthening school infrastructure to support sustainable and effective AI implementation.]]>

<![CDATA[Treasure hunting is a game of searching for an object hidden in a certain place using the help of several clues. Based on initial observations of first-grade students of Pante Cermin Elementary School, researchers found that some students were still unfamiliar with geometric shapes. This was due to the lack of learning media regarding geometric shapes used by teachers during the learning process. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of treasure hunting games on the ability to recognize geometric shapes in grade 1 students of Pante Cermin State Elementary School. The research method used was a quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest control group design. The results showed the results of the pretest data with a total score of 54.164% with the criteria of Developing According to Expectations (BSH). However, during the posttest after being given treatment through the treasure hunting game, the total score increased by 90.413% with the assessment criteria of developing Very Well (BSB). Furthermore, the results of the hypothesis testing used the ttest where the ttable value obtained was 1.72913 while the tcount value was 1.4. So tcount < ttable so that Ho was rejected and Ha was accepted. Thus, it is proven that the treasure hunt game influences the ability to recognize geometric shapes in 6-7 year old children at Pante Cermin Elementary School.]]>

<![CDATA[The low percentage of students achieving mastery in test scores regarding the topic of fungi indicates that this subject matter is difficult for students to comprehend; furthermore, a lack of learning resources and supporting facilities for instruction contributes to these low scores. An effective strategy for teachers to address this issue is the use of instructional media, specifically a flip chart. This medium was designed using Adobe Photoshop, resulting in a printed product. The objectives of this study were to develop a biology flip chart on the topic of fungi, assess its feasibility, and determine teacher and student perceptions of the medium. This study employed Research and Development (R&D) methodology using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The final product is a flip chart on fungi. A small-group trial was conducted at SMA N 1 Solok Selatan with nine students from Phase E. Data collection instruments included both open-ended and closed-ended questionnaires, yielding both quantitative and qualitative data. Validation by the media expert resulted in a score of 62 (77.5%), categorized as "Very Good," while the subject matter expert gave a score of 57 (89.1%), also categorized as "Very Good." The small-group trial yielded a score of 547 (95%), categorized as "Very Good." Teacher perception assessments resulted in a score of 117 (94.1%), categorized as "Very Good." The study concludes that the biology flip chart on fungi is suitable for use in classroom instruction and as a resource for independent student learning. Any shortcomings in this medium can be addressed in future relevant development studies.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the diversity of endemic fauna found in the Kelimutu National Park area. The method used in this study is a qualitative research method with a literature review approach to examine the biodiversity of endemic fauna in the Kelimutu National Park area of Ende Regency. The results of the study indicate that the diversity of endemic fauna in the area is a habitat for a number of endemic animals that are of high ecological value, such as the Great Rat (Papagomys armandvillei), Lawo Rat (Rattus hainaldi), Flores Eagle (Nisaetus floris) and Flores Mouse Deer (Pachycephala nudigula). The results of the literature review indicate that Papagomys armandvillei is an endemic rodent of Flores Island that has a relatively large body size, with a body length reaching 40–50 cm. Rattus hainaldi is an endemic rodent species found only on Flores Island that has distinctive characteristics including reddish-brown back hair, a white belly, and a tail that is longer than the head and body (around 110–130% of body length). Nisaetus floris is a raptor endemic to Flores Island with a body length ranging from 71-82 cm. Pachycephala nudigula is characterized by its ability to produce more than 16 different sounds, and the males have a red wattle on the front of their necks.]]>
