No full textIntroduction: Critical thinking skills are important competencies in the 21st century and support Indonesia\u27s SDGs 2030, which emphasizes the importance of these skills to achieve sustainable development goals. The 5E instructional model, although widely applied, presents challenges for teachers with limited innovation capacity. To address this, the 5E model was modified into the MEEDACE model, which combines mind mapping strategies, inquiry-based approaches, real-life contextual problems, and project-based problem-solving. Methods: This study utilizes the ADDIE development model to design and evaluate the effectiveness of the MEEDA learning model. The resulting MEEDACE instructional syntax consists of seven stages: (1) Mind Mapping, (2) Exploration, (3) Explanation, (4) Discovery, (5) Application, (6) Communication, and (7) Evaluation.Results: ANCOVA test results showed a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05), indicating a significant difference in students\u27 critical thinking skills between classes using the MEEDACE model and those using the control model. The corrected average score was 79.926 for MEEDACE, 72.284 for the 5E model, and 68.140 for the conventional model.Discussion: These findings show that the MEEDACE model effectively improves students\u27 critical thinking skills by integrating innovative and contextual learning strategies that fit the demands of modern education.Conclusions: The MEEDACE learning model significantly improved critical thinking skills compared to the 5E and conventional models. The integration of mind mapping, exploration, and real-world problem-solving fosters deeper understanding and student engagement.

Impact of mechanical circulatory support modalities on outcomes in acute myocardial infarction-related cardiogenic shock undergoing early revascularization: A systematic review of survival and cardiac function outcomes
Get PDFIntroduction: Cardiogenic shock complicates 5–10% of acute myocardial infarctions and remains associated with early mortality of approximately 40%. Mechanical circulatory support devices, including intra-aortic balloon pump, Impella, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, are increasingly applied, yet their effect on outcomes is uncertain.
Objectives: This review aimed to systematically evaluate the impact of intra-aortic balloon pump, Impella, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation on survival and left ventricular function in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock undergoing early revascularization.
Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, ScienceDirect, and the Cochrane Library was conducted up to May 1, 2025. Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials and observational studies assessing intra-aortic balloon pump, Impella, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in acute myocardial infarction–related cardiogenic shock. Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed quality using Cochrane RoB 2.0 and ROBINS-I tools. Sixteen studies encompassing more than 35,000 patients were included.
Results: Across all modalities, mechanical circulatory support did not consistently improve short- or long-term survival. Randomized trials showed no benefit for intra-aortic balloon pump in survival or ventricular recovery. Impella use was associated with higher rates of bleeding and vascular complications without mortality advantage. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation demonstrated the highest complication rates. Early Impella deployment showed limited potential for ventricular recovery in select cases, but results were inconsistent.
Conclusions: Despite theoretical hemodynamic benefits, current evidence does not demonstrate consistent improvements in survival or left ventricular function with intra-aortic balloon pump, Impella, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock. High complication rates, particularly with Impella and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, offset potential benefits, underscoring the need for timely revascularization rather than reliance on mechanical circulatory support

Results: spirituality (r = ,210, p < ,05), emotional intelligence (r = ,363, p < ,01), and drug knowledge (r = ,320, p < ,01) were positively and significantly correlated with change processes. Globall scores on alcohol (r = -,268, p < ,05) and illicit drug use (r = -,264, p < ,05) showed negative and significant correlations with change processes. Conclusions: the findings support the implementation of integrated interventions that consider these factors in the treatment of addictions
Simulation-Based Learning Packet Embedded with Metacognitive Scaffolding in Teaching Projectile Motion
Get PDFThis study addresses the challenges that Grade 9 students’ face with projectile motion due to its abstract nature and mathematical complexity. Traditional teaching methods often fall short in addressing misconceptions and fostering deep conceptual understanding, underscoring the importance of innovative strategies in teaching. To bridge this gap, an innovative learning packet was developed and evaluated, incorporating a virtual guided-inquiry laboratory activity via the Physics Education Technology (PhET) platform with embedded metacognitive scaffolding. The learning packet underwent iterative refinement using the Successive Approximation Model (SAM) and was structured following the 7E Learning Cycle, a guided inquiry framework, and was validated by 16 experienced physics educators. The study was implemented with 41 Grade 9 students in a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. A needs assessment of 35 DepEd teachers confirmed projectile motion as the most challenging topic (Kendall’s W = 0.37). Experts rated the packet “Very Satisfactory” in terms of content, format, presentation, and accuracy. The results showed a significant improvement in achievement from pretest (M = 7.07) to posttest (M = 14.34), t(40) = 23.41, p < .001, reflecting a very large effect size (d = 3.66) and a moderate average normalized gain〈g= 0.56). Metacognitive analysis revealed frequent evaluation (34.63%) and monitoring (27.64%), whereas planning (8.46%) was the least evident. The results suggest that simulation-based guided inquiry with embedded metacognitive prompts enhances conceptual understanding and reflective thinking among students. Such approaches are recommended for physics instruction to improve problem-solving skills and support inclusive quality education in line with SDG 4
