Abstract

Piroxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) widely used as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory in rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis. However, Piroxicam can cause gastrointestinal side effects and peptic ulcers when given orally. Piroxicam can also cause cholestasis. Also, if Piroxicam is used continuously in high doses, it can cause damage to the small intestine. A compound can minimize small intestinal cell damage called an antioxidant. This study aims to analyze the effect of curcumin extract (Curcuma xanthorrhiza) on Piroxicam-induced damage to mice's small intestinal cells (Mus musculus). This study used 80 male mice and divided into 3 groups, namely negative control (K-), negative Piroxicam (P-) and positive Piroxicam (P +). Giving ginger extract given orally at a dose of 1.4 gr / kgBW; 2.0 gr / kgBW; 2.6 gr / kgBW; 3.2 g / kg BW and 3.8 g / kg BW, while the Piroxicam dosage used was 10 mg / kg BW and 30 mg / kg BW. The results showed that the more Piroxicam doses were given, the higher the level of small intestinal cell damage. Along with increasing the dosage of ginger extract, the level of damage to small intestinal cells is reduced.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze students' items and abilities—the analysis for mapping test instruments and students' basic concepts regarding optics subjects before lectures are held. The test participants were 35 physics students. The analysis model of item response theory is a one-parameter logistic model or Rasch Model with the scope of analysis of the level of item difficulty, student ability, and statements that fit the item response model. Analysis of item responses and student responses carried out using Winstep version 3.73 software. The results of the qualitative analysis of the test items consisted of memory (C1) analysis (C4). The quantitative analysis using the Rasch model showed that 35% of the total items were difficult category items. For the suitability of test items in the instrument by 85% of items fit or generally function in measurement, more than 57% of students have the geometric optical ability in logit values of 0 to 1. The results of item analysis and student ability become information for teachers to design courses such as method selection, project implementation strategies, and assessments are undertaken.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the profile of the type of representation of students to solve problems in learning physics. This type of research is descriptive quantitative. The sample used in this study was 170 high school and vocational high school students in the Merauke district, and the sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The instrument used in this study was a problem-solving ability test instrument using a multimode representation by the Rosengrant stage and a questionnaire instrument for student responses to various types of representation in physics. The results showed that students could only use a single representation in the form of text, image, and mathematical representations. There are no students who can use the representation of line diagrams, bar charts, and free-body diagrams. The students' questionnaire responses showed that students used different representations in understanding the concept, and the type of representation most used was text representation.

Abstract

This study aims to determine how to test the rate of metal corrosion using dip-coating electrolyte solutions. The electrolyte solutions used are vinegar, lime juice, saltwater, and rainwater—this research conducted by the method of losing weight by dipping the electrolyte solution. The sample immersed for 27 days. The calculation results obtained and samples without coating have a high corrosion rate, so they destroyed quickly. The higher the value of the corrosion rate, the more easily destroyed it will be, and the sample will easily weather/damaged. Likewise, on the contrary, the lower the corrosion rate, the less corrosion that occurs, and the better the sample is protected from rust.
