Implementation of the Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) Approach Through the Development of an E-Module on Polyhedra Material Based on Papuan Cultures
No full textFlat-sided three-dimensional shapes are part of geometry that are closely connected to everyday life. However, in learning activities, many students still experience difficulties in understanding this material. On the other hand, cultural issues in Indonesia, particularly in Papua, are increasingly being eroded by the advancement of the times, gradually diminishing the nation’s cultural identity. Therefore, an appropriate learning approach is needed as a solution to these problems. This study aims to describe the results of implementing a mathematics e-module on flat-sided three-dimensional shapes based on Papuan traditional houses as a form of Papuan culture–based learning for junior high school students. The learning approach used is the Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) approach assisted by an e-module, with the goal of optimizing students’ understanding of flat-sided three-dimensional shapes. This research employed a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest–posttest design. The population consisted of eighth-grade students of SMPN 10 Manokwari, and the sample was selected using a one-group experimental technique. The instrument used was a mathematical ability test. The results of the study show that: (1) the implementation of the CRT approach assisted by the e-module effectively increased students’ understanding of flat-sided three-dimensional shapes, as indicated by an N-Gain index of 0.46, or 46%, which falls into the medium category; and (2) there is a difference in students’ understanding before and after being taught using the CRT approach assisted by the e-module, with a gain mean of 33.78
The Relationship Between Age and Gender with Risk of Fall in the Elderly
No full textIntroduction: As older adults age, they experience a decline in body function, one of which is related to decreased balance and the risk of falls. Falls are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, as well as a leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries in the elderly. More than one-third of the population aged 65 and over falls each year. This study aims to determine the relationship between age and gender and fall risk in the elderly at the Uma Kandung Foundation in Banjarmasin. Methods: This study used a quantitative cross-sectional design. Fall risk was measured using the Time Up and Go Test. A total of 20 individuals were included as the study sample. Data were analyzed using the Fisher Exact Test. Results: The study showed a p-value of 1.000 for the relationship between age and fall risk, and a p-value of 1.000 for the relationship between gender and fall risk. Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is no relationship between age and gender and fall risk in the elderly
Effect of low-impact aerobic exercise on blood glucose reduction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A quasi-experimental study
No full textIntroduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder with increasing global prevalence. Regular physical activity is recommended as a non-pharmacological strategy to improve glycemic control among individuals with T2DM.Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of low-impact aerobic exercise on reducing random blood glucose levels among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a pretest–posttest design without a control group was conducted among 36 individuals with T2DM in Jetis Village, Sukoharjo, Indonesia. Participants performed low-impact aerobic exercise 2–3 times per week for eight weeks. Random blood glucose levels were measured before and after the intervention using the Easy Touch GCU meter. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk test for normality and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to determine the effect of the intervention.Results: The mean random blood glucose level decreased from 257.31 ± 54.12 mg/dL before the intervention to 167.22 ± 34.51 mg/dL after the intervention. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed a statistically significant reduction in blood glucose levels following the exercise program (p = 0.001).Conclusion: Low-impact aerobic exercise significantly reduces blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This intervention may serve as an effective complementary strategy for glycemic control in community-based diabetes management programs

Institutional Drivers of Customer Loyalty in Islamic Banks: A Structural Model of Customer Loyalty from Educational Organizations in Indonesia
No full textThis study aims to analyze and identify factors influencing customer loyalty in Islamic banks, focusing on educational organizations in Indonesia. Customer loyalty is a crucial aspect for the sustainability of Islamic banks, especially amidst increasingly fierce competition in the banking industry. This study employed a quantitative research design, utilizing primary data collected via structured questionnaires. Quantitative approaches are well-suited for testing hypotheses and analyzing relationships between variables statistically. The questionnaires were distributed both in-person and online to Islamic bank customers from educational organizations in Indonesia over a four-week period with a final sample of 101 respondents. The data were analyzed using SEM-PLS to test the measurement and structural models. The results indicate that service quality significantly influences customer satisfaction, brand image, and loyalty. While customer satisfaction affects brand image, it does not directly influence loyalty, whereas brand image plays a key role in driving customer loyalty. Theoretically, this study contributes to the Islamic banking literature by confirming the mediating roles of brand image and customer satisfaction and offering a foundation for future research on loyalty in institutional and sharia-based financial contexts. This study provides practical insights for Islamic bank management to enhance customer loyalty through improved service quality, trust building, and consistent implementation of sharia principles

Conceptual development of nature of science in biology education: A hybrid bibliometric and SLR analysis
No full textBackground: The Nature of Science (NOS) is a central concept in science and biology education because it helps students understand how scientific knowledge is developed and supports scientific literacy. However, many NOS studies focus primarily on empirical research trends without integrating conceptual and philosophical perspectives. Objectives: This study aims to analyze the conceptual development of NOS in biology education through an integrated research approach. Methods: A hybrid approach combining bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review (SLR) was employed. Bibliometric data were retrieved from the Scopus database covering publications from 2000–2025 (cut-off: 8 November 2025). From an initial dataset of 35 articles, 11 studies were selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The results show a significant increase in NOS research since 2010. Key themes include evolution, scientific literacy, epistemology, and textbook representation, while argumentation, intelligent design, epistemic practices, and Two-Eyed Seeing perspectives emerge as developing topics. The SLR findings indicate that NOS is understood as a multidimensional concept involving epistemological, pedagogical, and socio-cultural dimensions. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of integrating philosophical perspectives and authentic representations of scientific practice to strengthen scientific literacy in biology educatio
Settlement on Railway Sideline in Surabaya City: Dialectics Perspective of Sosio-Spatial Political Policy
Full text linkThe rapid urban development of Surabaya has produced persistent socio-spatial tensions, particularly visible in the emergence and endurance of informal settlements along railway corridors. These settlements reflect a complex dialectic between state-led spatial planning, capital-driven urban modernization, and residents’ everyday spatial practices. This study asks how do socio-spatial policies shape, and are reshaped by, informal settlements along railway-side areas in Surabaya. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research draws on in-depth interviews, documentary analysis, and historical investigation conducted in the Dupak Magersari railway corridor. Guided by Lefebvre’s triadic concept of space, perceived, conceived, and lived space, the analysis reveals three key findings. First, railway-side settlements persist not merely due to economic necessity, but through long-term social attachment and the production of lived space by residents. Second, state policies exhibit a contradictory stance: while formally designating railway corridors as restricted zones, local authorities simultaneously recognize residents’ administrative status and access to basic public services. Third, this policy ambivalence generates a socio-spatial dialectic in which informal settlements are neither fully legalized nor effectively removed, resulting in prolonged spatial uncertainty
