Abstract

Abstract concepts in the human respiratory system are hard for students to understand because conventional teaching lacks engagement. The gap between conceptual understanding and visual performance is large, underscoring the need for more innovative, interactive learning tools. Thus, the purpose of this study is to develop and explore the feasibility of a mobile Android interactive animation Project-Based Learning (PjBL)-embedded Android application named BreathQuest. The development process was conducted by type R&D with the Thiagarajan 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate) in three-stage studies that are curriculum analysis, a design prototype (design using Adobe Animate 2D software), validation by experts (consisting of Subject matter and Media Specialists), and a one-to-one trial to five pupils. Aiken's V coefficient was calculated to assess validity. Results: Overall, high validity and feasibility, with Aiken's V coefficients ranging from 0.75 to 0.95 (Product design = 0.95, Alignment with Goals = 0.95, Ease of use = 0.90, Content = 0.85, and Interactivity = 0.75). The overall feasibility percentage for all articles was 88%. User feedback suggested that the app is visually appealing. However, there were many areas for improvement in file size, animation speed, and interoperability. BreathQuest includes core PjBL features, such as project guidelines and interactive diagrams, while allowing students to create digital posters and models. In summary, BreathQuest is a credible and workable educational tool that integrates interactive animations into PjBL to address some of the difficulties teachers face in biology education. Future research should assess its impact on learning and motivational constructs in more naturalistic classroom environments.

Abstract

Misconceptions about reproductive system topics remain a persistent challenge in high school biology learning. This study aimed to assess students' misconceptions about the reproductive system using a three-tier diagnostic test. A descriptive quantitative method was employed involving 57 twelfth-grade students from a senior high school in Parepare, South Sulawesi. Data were collected using a three-tier diagnostic test covering six reproductive system subtopics and analyzed descriptively by classifying students' conceptions into scientific understanding (SU), misconception (Mi), and lack of knowledge (LoK). The results revealed misconceptions across all six subtopics of the reproductive system. The highest percentage of misconceptions was found in reproductive hormone regulation (38.60%), followed by gametogenesis (35.09%). Meanwhile, the highest percentage of lack of knowledge was observed in reproductive system disorders (45.61%) and gametogenesis (43.86%). In contrast, reproductive organs showed the highest percentage of scientific understanding (57.89%). Overall, the findings indicate that students still experience considerable misconceptions and conceptual difficulties in several reproductive system subtopics, particularly those involving abstract processes and hormonal mechanisms. These findings highlight the need for targeted instructional interventions, especially in subtopics with high rates of misconceptions and lack knowledge levels, to support conceptual change and improve students' scientific understanding.

Abstract

Sleman Regency has successfully reduced municipal waste generation from 650 g/capita/day in 2019 to 496.27 g/capita/day in 2025, a 23.65% reduction that places it slightly below the average waste generation rate for middle-income countries (500–700 g/capita/day). However, the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal Program (Makan Bergizi Gratis, MBG) is expected to create new environmental challenges through increased organic waste generation. This study aims to assess the projected waste generation from MBG and formulate a sustainable waste management strategy for Sleman Regency. The research employed a literature review, regional waste data analysis, quantitative estimation of waste generated per meal portion, and scenario analysis using Business-as-Usual and circular economy interventions. The findings indicate that 66 Nutrition Fulfillment Service Units (Satuan Pelayanan Pemenuhan Gizi, SPPGs) serving 251,356 beneficiaries are projected to generate approximately 21.95 tons of organic waste per day, or 5,707 tons annually, representing about 2.67% of Sleman's total annual waste generation. This additional waste may increase environmental pressure, pest and disease vectors, and methane emissions if disposed of without proper segregation. Therefore, source reduction, waste segregation, composting, biodigesters, and maggot cultivation, supported by strong multi-stakeholder collaboration, are essential to promote a circular economy, support Sleman's low-carbon development, and contribute to SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).

Abstract

The Zingiberaceae family is a group of monocot plants widely distributed in tropical regions with high morphological diversity. This study aimed to describe in detail the leaf and rhizome morphological characters of 12 Zingiberaceae species found in the Kediri region, East Java, namely C. zanthorrhiza, C. longa, C. zedoaria, C. caesia, C. soloensis, Z. officinale, Z. officinale var. amarum, Z. zerumbet, A. galanga, A. zerumbet, K. galanga, and B. rotunda. The study was conducted using a descriptive exploratory method with a snowball sampling technique. Characters observed included leaf length and width, leaf apex and base shape, leaf venation patterns, as well as rhizome color, texture, aroma, shape, and branching pattern. The results showed that all species share pinnate leaf venation and entire leaf margins as characteristic features of the Zingiberaceae family. Morphological variation was found primarily in leaf dimensions, rhizome flesh color, and rhizome aroma. Rhizomes of all species exhibited a sympodial branching pattern. Striking differences were found between genera, particularly in rhizome flesh color: Turmeric spp. are generally orange to purple, Zingiber spp. are creamy yellow, and Kaempferia galanga is white. This morphological data can serve as a reference for field identification, conservation efforts, and the development of biology teaching materials based on local biological potential.

Abstract

Adequate nutrition is essential for red blood cell formation and maintaining normal hemoglobin levels. Deficiencies in essential nutrients can disrupt hemoglobin synthesis and oxygen transport throughout the body. Protein and iron are among the most important nutrients involved in these processes. Protein contributes to cell formation and tissue development, while iron is a vital component of hemoglobin. Low hemoglobin levels can lead to anemia, which can reduce physical performance and productivity. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between protein and iron intake and hemoglobin levels among college students. An observational, analytical cross-sectional study was conducted. Sixty participants were selected using purposive sampling. Dietary intake data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using NutriSurvey software. Hemoglobin concentration was measured using photometry. The relationship between nutrient intake and hemoglobin levels was examined using the Spearman correlation test. The results showed that 66.7% of participants had insufficient protein intake, while 33.3% met the recommended intake. For iron intake, 21.7% of participants had insufficient intake, and 78.3% had sufficient intake. Statistical analysis showed no significant relationship between protein intake and hemoglobin levels, with an r value of 0.082 (p=0.535). Conversely, iron intake was significantly associated with hemoglobin levels with an r value of 0.631 (p=0.000). In conclusion, protein intake was not associated with hemoglobin concentration, while iron intake showed a significant relationship with hemoglobin levels. Therefore, adequate iron consumption can play an important role in maintaining normal hemoglobin status.
