Abstract

Water spinach (Ipomoea reptans Poir) is a commonly cultivated vegetable in tropical regions like Indonesia. Water spinach faces challenges related to water availability, which can impact various cellular, biochemical, and physiological aspects. Drought can lead to reduced vegetative growth, and a lack of water can inhibit overall plant growth. Therefore, understanding the growth response of water spinach to water stress is crucial for achieving optimal results. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with water concentration as the treatment. Water spinach seeds were selected before being sown and transferred to polybags. Irrigation was conducted with five levels of concentration: 100% (300 ml of water), 75% (225 ml of water), 50% (150 ml of water), 25% (75 ml of water), and 0% (0 ml of water). Observations were made at 14 days old with agronomic and anatomical parameters, and the data were analyzed using MANOVA followed by a Tukey post-hoc test at a 5% significance level with SPSS. The results showed that irrigation with 300 ml and 225 ml of water produced the highest number of stomata and the longest stomata size. For stomatal width, treatments of 300 ml, 225 ml, and 75 ml resulted in wider stomata. Meanwhile, for stomatal area, the 225 ml treatment showed the largest stomatal size. However, no significant differences were observed in plant height and leaf number among the treatments. Drought stress affects photosynthesis and plant growth, with increasingly severe impacts as drought intensity rises. Drought results in reduced stomatal number, smaller stomatal size, and inhibited plant growth.

Abstract

Anxiety and fear during dental procedures are common issues among young children, often hindering their acceptance of dental care and negatively impacting long-term oral health. Traditional approaches to dental care frequently fail to address children's psychological needs, resulting in negative experiences and avoidance of dental visits. This study investigates the effectiveness of the psychological age-equality approach in increasing children's acceptance of dental care by reducing anxiety and improving cooperation during dental procedures. A qualitative research design was employed, involving in-depth interviews with parents and dental professionals, along with direct observation of children aged 3–6 years undergoing dental procedures. These procedures incorporated age-appropriate psychological techniques. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns and evaluate the impact of the approach on children's behavior and emotional responses.The findings revealed that the psychological age-equality approach significantly reduced children's dental anxiety and enhanced their cooperation during procedures. This approach effectively meets children's emotional and cognitive needs, improving their overall acceptance of dental care.

Abstract

This study aims to compare the salt content (NaCl) in the leaves of several types of coastal plants that grow in different formations, namely Mangrove, Barringtonia, and Pres-Caprae. The study was conducted in the coastal area of Lais District, North Bengkulu Regency using direct survey methods in the field and laboratory analysis using a refractometer. The results showed that there were 10 species of coastal plants from three formations, namely Barringtonia, Mangrove, and Pes-Caprae. The highest salt content was found in the Acanthus species ilicifolius (2.75‰) from the Mangrove formation, while the lowest levels were found in Canavalia maritima (0.75‰) from the Pes-Caprae formation. The difference in salt content is thought to be influenced by the location of its habitat in the coastal area and its ability to adapt both structurally and physiologically so that it can survive in an environment with extreme salt content. The results of this study provide important information about the adaptation of coastal plants to salinity and can be the basis for further research on salt concentration in coastal plants.

Abstract

Blood albumin level testing is an important parameter in assessing nutritional status and liver function. In clinical laboratory practice, the use of serum or EDTA plasma as biological samples remains a subject of debate, particularly regarding the efficiency and accuracy of results. This study aims to compare albumin level test results using serum and EDTA plasma samples. Blood samples were collected from 20 participants and analyzed using spectrophotometry. The average albumin level in serum samples was 4.285 g/dL, while in EDTA plasma it was 4.280 g/dL. The Shapiro-Wilk normality test indicated a normal data distribution (p>0.05), and the paired t-test yielded a p-value of 0.804 (>0.05), indicating no significant difference between the two sample types. These findings suggest that EDTA plasma can serve as an alternative to serum in albumin testing, with the advantage of improved processing efficiency.

Abstract

This study investigates the phytochemical content and morpho-anatomical characteristics of Celosia argentea L. plants grown under different light intensities in the Embung Leuwi Padjadjaran area. Leaf samples were collected from shaded and unshaded locations to compare their responses to varying light conditions. Phytochemical analysis revealed that plants in higher light intensity areas tended to have increased levels of specific phytochemical compounds, which is crucial for the plant's defense mechanisms. Furthermore, the research found morphological and anatomical differences, such as greater leaf thickness and a lower stomatal density in unshaded plants. Conversely, shaded plants exhibited higher chlorophyll content and larger leaf areas, which are adapted to low-light environments. The study concludes that varying light intensity significantly influences the morpho-anatomical features and phytochemical composition of Celosia argentea L., with shaded conditions promoting adaptations for light capture and unshaded conditions increasing certain phytochemicals and leaf thickness.

Abstract

In the learning process, teaching materials and LKPD are needed to train students' abilities in learning. However, the teaching materials used are not yet appropriate due to the lack of material in the textbooks, in addition, the number of textbooks is still limited, resulting in less effective learning. This will certainly be less effective learning because the textbooks or printed books provided by the school do not match the number of students. This supports the LKPD research which will later become one of the new teaching materials by teachers and students because by using LKPD, learning time can be optimized well and by using LKPD students will be easier in the learning process. The purpose of this study is to produce LKPD Based on Problem Based Learning (PBL) on the material of transport and exchange of substances in humans for SMA/MA which is valid and practical. The development research uses the 4D model. This model has four stages of development, namely the define , design , develop and disseminate stages . This research was conducted until the develop stage , namely the validity test and practicality test. The assessment instruments carried out at this stage consisted of validity and practicality questionnaires, this validity questionnaire consisted of content feasibility, language, didactical, and graphical, while the practicality questionnaire consisted of ease of use, benefits. The data were analyzed using percentage techniques and processed using descriptive analysis or determining the highest score and the final value of validity and practicality. Based on the results of the research test, the developed LKPD is very valid with a value of (89%), the results of the practicality test by 2 biology teachers on the developed LKPD are very practical (92%), and the practicality of 31 students is very practical (87%). Based on the results of the validity and practicality tests, it can be concluded that the student worksheet (LKPD) based on problem based learning (PBL) on the material of transport and exchange of substances in humans for phase f of SMA 1 Akabiluru Kab.
