Bionatural
Bionatural is an open access journal that aims to disseminate original research, scholarly studies, innovative practices, and critical perspectives in the fields of biology, biological sciences, and biology education. The journal welcomes research and scholarly works covering various aspects of biology and its application in education, including biodiversity, ecology, environmental biology, zoology, botany, microbiology, genetics, conservation biology, and other relevant areas of biological sciences. In the field of biology education, the journal covers teaching and learning in biology, teaching strategies, learning methods and models, curriculum development, development of teaching materials, learning media, educational technology, digital learning, assessment and evaluation, teacher and prospective teacher competencies, classroom action research, and innovative practices in biology education. The journal also welcomes interdisciplinary studies that integrate biology, science, education, technology, and environmental issues, as well as studies addressing educational policies, local and national initiatives, and comparative perspectives relevant to the development of biology and science education. Articles should be based on original research, research and development, scholarly studies, book reviews, or literature reviews that contribute to the advancement of biological sciences, biology education, teaching and learning practices, educational innovation, and the development of science and education.

Conceptual understanding is one of the primary goals of mathematics education. However, in learning circle concepts, many students tend to memorize formulas without fully understanding the underlying meanings and relationships among concepts. This condition results in superficial learning and limits students’ ability to apply their knowledge in various problem-solving situations. Therefore, an instructional approach that actively engages students in constructing their own knowledge is needed. This article aims to examine the implementation of constructivist learning oriented toward deep learning to improve students’ understanding of circle concepts. Constructivist learning provides opportunities for students to build knowledge through exploration, discussion, experience, and reflection, while deep learning emphasizes meaningful understanding, conceptual connections, and the application of knowledge in real-life contexts. Through student-centered learning activities, concepts such as radius, diameter, circumference, area, and the relationships among circle elements are explored through investigative and contextual tasks, making learning more meaningful. The findings indicate that the implementation of constructivist learning oriented toward deep learning has the potential to enhance students’ conceptual understanding of circles by promoting active engagement, critical thinking skills, and stronger conceptual connections. Therefore, this approach can serve as an effective alternative in mathematics instruction to support the development of deep and sustainable conceptual understanding.

Arthropods constitute the largest animal phylum with a significant role in public health, functioning as both direct ectoparasites and biological vectors for pathogens. This study aims to identify health-disrupting arthropod groups and analyze the impacts of infection and disease transmission caused by mosquitoes, lice, and mites in humans. The methodology employs a literature review approach, synthesizing data from reputable scientific journals and health reports. Data were obtained from six articles published between 2023 and 2026 discussing various aspects of vector-borne health issues. The analysis reveals that mosquitoes (Aedes, Anopheles, Culex) act as primary vectors for deadly diseases such as Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF), malaria, filariasis, and Zika. Meanwhile, lice (Pediculus, Cimex, Xenopsylla) cause dermatological issues through direct infestation and transmit serious diseases like plague and epidemic typhus. Additionally, mites (Sarcoptes scabiei and Dermatophagoides) trigger clinical manifestations including scabies and severe respiratory allergic reactions, such as rhinitis and asthma, due to house dust allergen exposure. In conclusion, health disruptions caused by these three arthropod groups lower the quality of life and pose serious epidemiological threats. Therefore, understanding clinical manifestations and integrated vector management is crucial to reducing human morbidity.
