THE EFFECT OF PICTURE SERIES IN TEACHING WRITING EXPLANATION TEXT AT SMA DARUSSALAMAH
No full textThe focus on find out whether there is an impact on students' ability to write explanatory texts using serial picture media. The respondent of picture series in writing explanation text at SMA Darussalamah for eleventh grade is twenty six respondents. The method is quantitative. The researcher used pre-experimental design. Instruments that used the researcher was pre-test and post-test. In the scoring rubric, the researcher knew that the ideal average value was 44.9 while the ideal standart deviation was 11.91. In addition, their scores in writing were getting better over time. The pre – test’s average value was 38.69; and the post-test was 52.08. Additionally, in pre-test, the standart deviation was 10.85. It means that the final results they got was homogenous because the standart deviation is lower than the ideal. Meanwhile, in the post-test, the opposite happened. Their achievement was various because their average score was higher than the ideal average score. Finally, it can be proved that using picture series had an impact on improving students’s writing skills

EVALUATING THE SHELF LIFE OF ESCIN
No full textThe determination of drug shelf life is vital for ensuring quality and stability, considering factors such as extraction, storage, transportation, and others to establish ideal storage conditions and expiration dates. While standard stability tests follow industry guidelines, the unique challenges posed by conducting accelerated tests for some temperature-sensitive drugs, such as herbal medicines, necessitate reliance on natural (continuous) tests as the primary method for determining stability. Positive results from accelerated tests may indicate that stability can be maintained despite short-term deviations under normal storage conditions. Consequently, real-time continuous testing plays a pivotal role in determining and validating the optimal shelf life following drug registration, simulating actual storage conditions during circulation. In light of these considerations, the shelf life of Escin was determined only through natural testin
