Karinding: kearifan lokal budaya Jawa Barat sebagai pengendali hama pada tanaman padi
No full textThe green revolution promoted synthetic pesticide use in agriculture, but this practice negatively affects the environment and health. Karinding, a traditional musical instrument from West Java, is believed to offer an eco-friendly alternative for repelling pests in rice cultivation. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of karinding as a pest control method. A non-factorial randomized block design was used with four treatments: control, manual karinding, recorded karinding, and synthetic pesticide. Each treatment involved 10 rice clumps, repeated four times, with 10-m spacing to minimize bias. Parameters observed included pest attack intensity, insect diversity, soil pH, and microorganism population. Results showed no significant difference in pest attacks between weeks 4–12, except in week 7 where synthetic pesticides had the lowest intensity (13.15%). Insect diversity was moderate across treatments, highest in the control (H’=2.083) and lowest in the pesticide treatment (H’=1.595), with no dominant species (C<0.5). The synthetic pesticide reduced overall insect populations, although some species remained. Soil pH in karinding treatments ranged from 5.7–5.8, with higher microorganism populations than in the pesticide treatment. The highest number of panicles per hill was in the control (40.72), and the lowest in the pesticide treatment (22.27), while panicle length and dry grain weight were not significantly different. Although less effective than synthetic pesticides in suppressing pests, karinding helps preserve insect diversity and soil health, making it a promising environmentally friendly pest control alternative.
ABSTRAK
Revolusi hijau mendorong penggunaan pestisida sintetik dalam pertanian, namun penggunaannya berdampak negatif bagi lingkungan dan kesehatan. Karinding, alat musik tradisional Jawa Barat, diyakini sebagai alternatif ramah lingkungan untuk mengusir hama pada tanaman padi. Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji efektivitas alat musik karinding sebagai alat untuk mengendalikan hama pada padi. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental yang menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok non-faktorial dengan empat perlakuan: kontrol, karinding manual, karinding rekaman, dan pestisida sintetik. Setiap perlakuan terdiri atas 10 rumpun padi dan diulang sebanyak empat kali. Untuk mengurangi bias, jarak antar perlakuan dibuat sejauh 10 m. Parameter yang diamati meliputi intensitas serangan hama, keanekaragaman serangga, serta kondisi tanah (pH dan populasi mikroorganisme). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan intensitas serangan hama pada 4-12 minggu setelah tanam tidak berbeda signifikan, kecuali pada minggu ke-7, di mana pestisida sintetik memberikan intensitas serangan terendah (13,15%). Keanekaragaman serangga tergolong sedang dengan nilai terendah pada perlakuan pestisida sintetik (H’=1,595) dan tertinggi pada kontrol (H’=2,083), tanpa serangga dominan (C<0,5). Populasi serangga pada perlakuan pestisida sintetik lebih sedikit dibandingkan perlakuan lain, kecuali beberapa spesies tertentu. Karinding memperbaiki kondisi tanah dengan pH 5,7-5,8 dan populasi mikroorganisme lebih tinggi dibanding pestisida sintetik. Hasil tanaman menunjukkan jumlah malai per rumpun tertinggi pada kontrol (40,72) dan terendah pada pestisida sintetik (22,27). Panjang malai dan bobot gabah kering tidak berbeda signifikan antar perlakuan. Kesimpulannya, penggunaan karinding tidak efektif mengendalikan hama seperti pestisida sintetik, namun dapat menjaga keanekaragaman serangga dan kesehatan tanah sehingga berpotensi menjadi metode pengendalian ramah lingkungan.

Smart-dose microboost: micronutrient in order to enhance chili growth and yield in tropical farming systems: Smart-dose microboost: mikronutrien untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan dan hasil cabai pada sistem pertanian tropis
No full textDespite the fact that micronutrients are crucial for the growth, metabolism, and crop yield of plants, they are required in relatively small proportions. The recent advancements in agriculture have resulted in the development of biostimulant products that are abundant in micronutrients which is advantageous. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the potential of micronutrient-enriched biostimulants (MB) to enhance the quality characteristics of chili fruits. This study was conducted at Jatinangor, West Java. The experimental plots were laid out in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with seven treatments and repeated four times, so the total number of treatments was 28 units. The treatments consist of farmer practice and doses of 0.75; 1.0; 1.5; 2.0; 2.5 and 3.0 L ha-1 MB. The results of this experiment indicated that the treatments with doses of 2.0–3.0 L ha-1 were consistently preferable in terms of fruit quality, yield, and growth. Plants that were more productive, capable of grading fruit, and had a slightly extended shelf life after harvest were the final result of the biostimulant product, which contained micronutrients. The farmer\u27s practice consistently failed to meet the standards of all the treated sites. The combination of biostimulants and micronutrients significantly enhanced the physiological and reproductive functions of chilies.
ABSTRAK
Mikronutrien, meskipun dibutuhkan dalam jumlah yang kecil daripada makronutrien, penting untuk perkembangan tanaman, fungsi metabolisme, dan produktivitas tanaman. Perkembangan terkini dalam bidang pertanian telah menghasilkan produk biostimulan yang kaya akan mikronutrien yang sangat penting. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menilai potensi biostimulan yang diperkaya mikronutrien (MB) dalam meningkatkan kualitas buah cabai. Panelitian ini dilakukan di Jatinangor Sumedang, Jawa Barat. Plot percobaan disusun dalam Rancangan Acak kelompok (RAK) dengan tujuh perlakuan dan diulang empat kali, sehingga total perlakuan adalah 28 unit. Perlakuan tersebut terdiri dari metode konvensional; dosis biostimulan yang diperkaya mikronutrien (0,75; 1,0; 1.5; 2,0; 2,5 and 3,0 L ha-1 MB). Hasil percobaan ini menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan dengan dosis 2,0–3,0 L ha-1 adalah yang paling konsisten unggul di seluruh parameter pertumbuhan, hasil dan kualitas buah. Produk biostimulan dengan tambahan mikronutrien membuat tanaman lebih kuat, lebih produktif, lebih baik dalam kualitas buah, dan memperpanjang masa simpan setelah panen. Dibandingkan dengan semua yang diberi perlakuan pupuk mikronutrien dan biostimulan, perlakuan konvensional memberikan respon yang paling kecil. Secara umum, penambahan mikronutrien dan biostimulan secara bersamaan dapat memberikan dampak besar pada peningkatan fungsi fisiologis dan reproduksi tanaman cabai.

Enhancing Students’ Critical Thinking Through Problem-Based Learning With Socio-Scientific Issues: A Study On Stoichiometry In Grade X Science
No full textUnderstanding stoichiometry remains a significant challenge for many secondary school students, primarily due to traditional instructional approaches that emphasize memorization rather than analytical reasoning. To address this issue, this study examines the effectiveness of a socio-scientific issue (SSI)-based problem-based learning (PBL) model in fostering students’ critical thinking skills in stoichiometry instruction. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with a non-randomized pretest–posttest control group structure. Participants consisted of two grade X classes from SMAN 1 Sipirok, with one class assigned as the experimental group receiving SSI-based PBL instruction and the other as the control group receiving conventional teaching. Data were collected through essay tests designed around Ennis’s twelve critical thinking indicators. The results of an independent samples t-test indicated a statistically significant difference in posttest scores between the two groups (p = 0.027, p < 0.05), demonstrating that the experimental group outperformed the control group in critical thinking. These findings suggest that integrating socio-scientific issues into problem-based learning can effectively enhance students’ reasoning, engagement, and conceptual understanding in chemistry education. The study contributes to the ongoing discourse on innovative pedagogies by highlighting the pedagogical potential of SSI-based PBL for cultivating higher-order thinking skills in science classrooms.The critical thinking skills of high school students in chemistry are still relatively low, one of which is caused by the dominance of the teacher in the learning process, which makes students passive. This study aims to determine the effect of the application of problem-based learning (PBL) based on socio-scientific issues (SSI) on students\u27 critical thinking skills on stoichiometry material. The research was conducted at SMAN 1 Sipirok with a sample of two classes: class X MIA-1 (control class) with 17 male and 18 female students, and class X MIA-2 (experimental class) with 15 male and 20 female students. This study used a quasi-experiment with a non-randomised group pre-test and post-test design. The instrument used was an essay test of 10 questions representing 12 indicators of critical thinking, according to Robert H. Ennis. The results showed a significant increase in students\u27 critical thinking skills after the application of the SSI-based PBL model. The application of the PBL method effectively improves students\u27 critical thinking skills. The results of hypothesis testing using the T-test (Independent Sample t-Test) obtained a sig (2-tailed) value < α, namely 0.027 < 0.05 so that H1 is accepted and H0 is rejected. This shows that there is an effect of the problem-based learning model based on socio-scientific issues on students\u27 critical thinking skills in stoichiometry material

Community-Based Strategies for Countering Fundamentalism, Radicalism, and Terrorism
No full textThis study examines the role of community structures in preventing the emergence and growth of Fundamentalism, Radicalism, and Terrorism (FRT) using Cherian George’s Assertive Pluralism theory as its conceptual framework. The relevance of this research lies in the increasing challenges to social cohesion in pluralistic settings, including spatial segregation and exclusivist narratives that have the potential to fuel radicalisation. Employing a qualitative approach, the study draws on literature review, in-depth interviews, and field observations, focusing on an interfaith cooperation model developed in Salatiga City, Central Java, by the Salatiga Church Cooperation Agency (BKGS) in partnership with Muslim and Christian community networks. The findings reveal three main points. First, community-based organizations such as BKGS, Banser NU, Forum Hati Beriman, and the Interfaith Young Friends Movement (Gerakan Sobat Muda Lintas Iman) play a central role in fostering trust, solidarity, and mutual respect through interfaith collaboration in religious events, public services, and humanitarian programs. Second, interfaith education initiatives by UIN Salatiga and UKSW—through the integration of Islamology courses, halal studies, and the Kampus Kebangsaan program—strengthen interreligious understanding and engage students as agents of tolerance. Third, challenges remain, including the development of exclusive sharia housing, moral superiority narratives, rejection of interfaith activities, and weak assertiveness among local authorities, all of which can limit interfaith interaction and create fertile ground for radicalism. The study’s implications underscore the importance of synergy among four pillars—grassroots organizations, educational institutions, collaborative public initiatives, and responsive local governance—in community-based pre-conflict prevention. Its original contribution lies in the practical application of Assertive Pluralism in the Indonesian context, offering a conceptual model that can be replicated in other pluralistic regions to strengthen social resilience against FRT.This study examines the role of community structures in preventing the emergence and growth of Fundamentalism, Radicalism, and Terrorism (FRT) using Cherian George’s Assertive Pluralism theory as its conceptual framework.

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OPTIMIZATION THROUGH IFE AND EFE SWOT ANALYSIS
No full textThis study aims to optimize the implementation of strategic management at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) 2 Pamekasan through SWOT analysis, enriched with the IFE (Internal Factors Evalaution ) and EFE (External Factors Evaluation) frameworks. Adopting a sequential exploratory mixed-methods approach, qualitative and quantitative data were collected from various key stakeholders to comprehensively identify strategic factors. The results of the internal analysis (IFE) indicate that the madrasah\u27s main strengths lie in its Adiwiyata predicate and unique skills programs, although it faces weaknesses in student and staff learning interest and discipline. From the external side (EFE), the biggest opportunity is the madrasah\u27s position as an Islamic institution with added skills, amidst the threats of intense competition and shifting societal preferences. A synthesis of these findings yields four strategic assumptions: SO (leveraging strengths for opportunities), WO (addressing weaknesses with opportunities), ST (using strengths to face threats), and WT (minimizing weaknesses and avoiding threats). This research concludes that the optimization of strategic management at MAN 2 Pamekasan requires the implementation of concrete actions that are synergistic between internal and external factors, which in turn will enhance the madrasah\u27s competitive advantage and sustainability

INVESTIGATING THE STRATEGIES USED BY EFL STUDENTS AND THE ACCURACY IN TRANSLATING NARRATIVE PICTURE BOOKS FOR CHILDREN
No full textThis research aims to investigate the strategies employed by EFL students when translating a narrative from the English children\u27s picture book "Last Stop on Market Street" by Matt de la Pena (2015). The accuracy of the translation will be evaluated using a scoring scale developed by Nababan, Nuraeni, and Sumardiono (2012). This research offers valuable insights to students by identifying effective translation strategies to help them recognize and correct their errors. Data was collected from 10 students in a translation class at Sunan Gunung Djati State Islamic University in Bandung through a translation test. The findings reveal that the participants mostly use five out of the seven translation strategies proposed by Vinay and Darbelnet (2000): calque, literal translation, transposition, modulation, and adaptation. Literal translation and modulation with calque are the most frequently used strategies. Although some participants can produce accurate translations, they also demonstrate the need to address inaccurate translations. This research also identifies the most common mistake made by students as mistranslating words from the source language to the target language, which could potentially confuse readers. The findings underline the importance of providing targeted instruction on translation strategies for EFL students, emphasizing the role of educators in helping students develop the skills and knowledge required to produce high-quality translations that effectively convey the meaning and nuances of the source text
