Identification and Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Parasites in the Feces of Sapera Goats at Jawara Farm
Get PDFLivestock health is a crucial factor that influences the success of animal farming. One of the determinants of livestock health is the presence of parasites. This study aims to identify the types of gastrointestinal parasites and determine their prevalence in Sapera goats at Jawara Farm. The research was conducted using three examination methods: native, sedimentation, and flotation. A total of 23 goat fecal samples were examined in the laboratory. The identification results revealed five types of gastrointestinal parasites: Haemonchus contortus, Trichuris spp., Eimeria hirci, Eimeria christenseni, and Eimeria aspheronica. The parasite with the highest prevalence was Haemonchus contortus (69%), followed by Trichuris spp. (39%), Eimeria aspheronica (26%), Eimeria hirci (17%), and Eimeria christenseni (13%). The highest average Egg Per Gram (EPG) was found in Trichuris spp. (379.17), categorized as a moderate infection. Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and pen hygiene are strongly suspected to influence the prevalence rate and severity of parasitic infections. This study is expected to serve as a foundation for efforts in controlling and preventing parasitic infections on farms
REDOX AND THERMODYNAMIC INVESTIGATION OF 2-HYDROXYETHYLETHYLENEDIAMINETRIACETATOIRON(III) REACTION WITH 2-MERCAPTOETHANOLIC ACID IN A BICARBONATE-BUFFERED ENVIRONMENT
Get PDFThe coordination chemistry of hexadentate ligands is compelling, as it provides both kinetic and thermodynamic stability to the coordinated complex, facilitating electron distribution while preserving structural integrity. In this study, the redox behavior of the reaction between 2-hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetatoiron(III) (HEI) and 2-mercaptoethanolic acid (MEA) was investigated spectrophotometrically in a bicarbonate-buffered environment. The reaction followed first-order kinetics with respect to [HEI] and [MEA], with a 2:2 molar ratio observed. The reaction rate was significantly affected by increases in the ionic strength and the dielectric constant of the medium. Ion catalysis was evident, and variations in pH had a significant effect on the redox pathway. Activation enthalpy and Gibbs free energy, as determined via the Eyring–Polanyi equation, indicate that the reaction required additional thermal energy to proceed. The formation of thiyl radicals facilitated the conversion of the mercapto compound to a disulfide. A Michaelis-Menten-type plot (MMTP) supported the absence of intermediate species participation, as indicated by a negative result, further corroborated by matching spectroscopic spectra of reacted and unreacted mixtures. The proposed mechanism offers insight into the potential anticancer activity of mercaptoethanolic acid
Qibla Direction Determination in Historical Mosques: Methodological and Accuracy Assessment at Al-Anwar Grand Mosque, Bandar Lampung
Get PDFQibla direction in mosques, historically, was determined using simple methods and traditional tools, resulting in relatively low accuracy. This study aims to analyze the methods and precision of Qibla direction at Jami’ Al-Anwar Mosque, Bandar Lampung, using a qualitative field approach supported by modern instruments. The findings indicate that the true Qibla direction is 295° 18′ 25.82″, while the mosque’s current orientation measured with a theodolite is 295° 12′ 10″ and with a mizwala instrument is 295° 12′ 13.82″. The difference of only 0° 6′ 15.82″ classifies the mosque’s Qibla as accurate according to deviation tolerance theory. Contributing factors include the use of an istiwā’ stick to determine cardinal directions, advances in scientific knowledge, and religious motivations to ensure precision. These results highlight the significance of combining traditional techniques and modern technology to maintain the accuracy of Qibla orientation in historic mosques
Student Readiness of Islamic Elementary Education for Problem-Based Flipped Learning Model in Higher Education
Get PDFInnovating higher education teaching models is essential to meet the learning challenges of the 21st century. This research discusses the students' readiness and needs for the development and utilisation of the Problem-Based Flipped Learning (PBFL) model in the Islamic Elementary Education Department (PGMI) at the State Islamic University of Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. Using a quantitative descriptive survey method with 216 respondents from the 2022 and 2023 cohorts, the research focused on technological readiness, preference for learning styles, and perception toward PBFL. Findings indicated that the device ownership and preference of learning styles were facial in relation to visual/ self-directed, which suggested the practicality of the PBFL application. There was a moderate positive correlation between the availability of devices and readiness towards PBFL; however, limited access to the internet continues to be an obstacle. The current work adds value by incorporating Islamic principles in the design of PBFL, thereby providing a culturally sensitive framework for Islamic education. Furthermore, implementation options are developed around offline materials, student orientation programs, and institutional policies. These results could serve as a foundation for developing adaptive and creative teacher education programs that focus on educational and religious competencies, ultimately paving the way for the integration of PBFL into the PGMI curriculum in the long term
School Committee Participation in Improving the Quality of Education
No full textSchool Committees in Indonesia hold a strategic mandate to improve the quality of education; however, their concrete contributions in rural elementary schools remain insufficiently explored, particularly regarding the governance-practice gap. This study employed a qualitative case study approach at SD Negeri 01 Badak, utilizing participatory observation, in-depth interviews (with the principal, teachers, and the committee chair), and document analysis. The committee was actively involved in fundraising (e.g., graduation events), providing physical facilities (e.g., a prayer room and student chairs), and planning school programs. However, the oversight of program implementation was weak due to members’ limited understanding of their strategic roles and time constraints, which created disparities between resources and pedagogical needs. Optimizing school-community partnerships requires targeted capacity-building efforts and structured accountability mechanisms to bridge the gap between normative and practical aspects. This study reveals governance disparities within rural School Committees. It contributes to participatory management theory by demonstrating how local socio-cultural constraints, such as parental time poverty, shape decentralization in resource-limited areas
A Light from Finland: Uncovering Teachers’ Role in Evaluating Students’ Learning through Parent-Teacher Conferences
Get PDFThe implementation of the Merdeka curriculum has posed significant challenges for teachers, particularly in learning assessment practices. This study explores the roles of Finnish teachers in evaluating student progress during parent-teacher conferences (PTCs) using a qualitative, autoethnographic approach guided by teacher practice theory. The findings highlight that Finnish teachers utilize comprehensive materials and diverse sources, playing as mentors for children by empowering students to articulate their learning experiences and collaborate with parents through fostering shared educational responsibilities with parents, which indicates the practice represented beyond solely the pedagogical domain. However, the study cautions against directly replicating the Finnish model in Indonesia due to the limited number of participants and differences in educational systems, cultural contexts, and institutional frameworks. Future research should include a larger participant pool to provide a broader understanding of PTCs in Finland, enabling Indonesia to adapt these practices effectively and resolving the problem of student learning assessment in the Merdeka curriculum
