Abstract

Malaria is a tropical disease that endangers public health which is caused by the plasmodium parasite, and transmitted through the bite of a female Anopheles sp. mosquito. Malaria is a major health problem in Indonesia due to its high risk of transmission and drug resistance. This encourages a study to look for other antimalarial alternatives by utilizing natural ingredients. The purpose of this study is to identify the functional groups found in Eucheuma cottonii secondary metabolites using methanol 70% as the solvent. This study is included in the experimental research. The functional group of methanol extract of Eucheuma cottonii was evaluated using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Nicolet iS 10 spectrometers. The FT-IR analysis identified the O-H functional group at 3347.1 cm-1, C≡C at 2094.8 cm-1, C=C at 1632.6 cm-1, phenol or O-H bend at 1401.5 cm-1, aromatic C-O at 1192.7 cm-1, and a C-C group at 1043.7 cm-1. The results of phytochemical analysis on Eucheuma cottoni revealed the presence of saponins. The functional groups formed in the 70% methanol extract of Eucheuma cottonii seaweed are the O-H, C≡C, C=C, phenol or O-H bend, aromatic C-O, and C-C groups which are flavonoid compounds in the flavanone group which have the potential to be antimalarial. Furthermore, the presence of the O-H, C=O, C-O, C=C, or C-H functional groups is a characteristic of a flavonoid compound. Therefore, it can be concluded that the identified functional groups indicate the existence of flavonoid molecules from the flavanone group, which potential as antimalarial properties.

Abstract

The background of this research departs from the ethnic diversity of students in Ternate which has the potential to affect student retention. This research aims to assess the impact of various learning models on the retention of multiethnic students in Ternate City Junior High School. This type of research  is a quasi experiment. The design used in this study is the Pretest-Posttest Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The total sample of 76 students consisted of 20 ethnic Ternate, 27 Makian, and 29 Tidore ethnicities. The Research Instrument consists of observation sheets and test questions. The data collection technique consists of (pretest) and (posttest). Data analysis used descriptive statistics to show the description of student retention. The analysis was continued using covariance analysis (ANACOVA). The results of the follow-up test showed that the retention of students in the STAD learning model group combined with NHT was not significantly different from the STAD model, however, it was significantly different from conventional learning. Ethnicity has a significant effect on the retention of multiethnic students. The retention of Ternate ethnic students is not significantly different from the Tidore ethnicity but is significantly different from the Makian ethnicity. The interaction of learning models and ethnicity has a significant effect on student retention. The STAD model combined with NHT has not been able to make a significant contribution to the retention of Ternate, Makian and Tidore ethnic students, but when viewed from the corrected average score of STAD combined with NHT ethnic Ternate, Makian and Tidore have the highest score when compared to other learning models.

Abstract

Bioplastics based on natural materials offer an innovative solution to reduce the negative impact of conventional plastics on the environment. This study evaluated bioplastics made from banana peels processed with various plasticizers, such as glycerol, chitosan, sorbitol, polylactic acid polymer, sodium metabisulfite, and tapioca starch. The focus was on mechanical properties, such as biodegradability, tensile strength, and elongation. Banana peels, with a starch content of 59%, proved ideal for bioplastics, with a degradation time of 4–84 days in soil. Bioplastics with 2% glycerol degraded in 4 days, while those with sodium metabisulfite degraded in 84 days. Glycerol increased flexibility but decreased tensile strength. The combination of 1.5% glycerol and tapioca starch produced the highest tensile strength of 66.39 MPa, while the highest elongation was 115.43% with 2% glycerol. This study highlights the potential of banana peel bioplastic as an environmentally friendly alternative, and further research is recommended to optimize the combination of plasticizers to make the bioplastic stronger, more elastic, and antibacterial by combining glycerol, sodium metabisulfite, and tapioca starch. These findings are important for the future development of sustainable and applicable bioplastics.

Abstract

The success of achieving learning objectives is seen from student learning outcomes, seen from the knowledge aspect for the elements of the concept of science, and science, as well as attitudes and skills based on the elements of science and science process skills. Teachers who are less creative and innovative in implementing learning models that are suitable for students will affect student learning outcomes. This causes a monotonous, boring, and uninteresting learning atmosphere for students, so that students' science learning outcomes are still relatively low from the predetermined KKTP value. In addition, in this era of increasingly rapid technology and globalization, it can cause a shift in culture and local wisdom for the younger generation. Therefore, this study aims to determine the increase in science learning outcomes by using the Project-Based Learning model containing local wisdom at SD N Ngepungrojo 01 Pati. The Project-Based Learning model, containing local wisdom, is a learning model that uses projects by integrating local wisdom. The stages of the Project-Based Learning model are divided into six stages. The research method that will be used in this study is pre-experimental with a one-group pretest-posttest design. Data analysis techniques consist of initial data analysis using validity tests and normality tests, and research data analysis using the Paired Sample T-Test and N-Gain test.

Abstract

Plastic is a synthetic polymer derived from petroleum and contains hazardous additives, such as heavy metals and chlorine. The use of cassava starch as the main ingredient in bioplastics, a natural polymer, can be an environmentally friendly and biodegradable solution. However, cassava starch has limitations, such as its hydrophilic nature, poor mechanical strength, and poor stability. To address these issues, plasticizers such as glycerol and sorbitol are used to improve tensile strength, flexibility, and moisture resistance. Meanwhile, the addition of fillers can increase tensile strength, thermal resistance, and reduce hydrophilic properties, thereby improving the stability of bioplastics. Therefore, this review of biodegradable plastic research focuses on the use of cassava starch with the addition of various fillers that can be degraded by various processing techniques. To analyze the quality of these plastics, various testing methods are carried out, including physical, mechanical, thermal, and biodegradability tests, as well as structural and morphological analysis. The results of this research provide innovations that can be developed by making biodegradable plastic from cassava starch by combining a mixture of cassava starch with the addition of PLLA and CMC fillers and acetic acid as well as the addition of a combination of glycerol and sorbitol plasticizers.
