This research is an exploratory study conducted in Batang Regency. The research samples, namely bitter mustard (Brassica juncea L.) and petsai (Brassica pekinensia L.) leaves, were collected in December 2022. The selection of research samples is based on the level of production and availability. The data analysis method used in the research is descriptive quantitative analysis. The results showed that bitter mustard (Brassica juncea L.) and petsai mustard (Brassica pekinensia L.) have the same epidermal characteristics, namely irregularly shaped epidermal cells with notched cell wall edges and elongated polygonal cells with flat cell wall edges. The epidermal derivatives found are stomata and trichomes. The stomata of the study sample have anisocytic type, closed slit condition, but have different sizes (length and width), index and density. Trichomes have a simple needle-like hair type on the edge of the leaf, but have different sizes (length and width). The differences in the research samples can be observed quantitatively
A SECURE APPROACH TO FINANCIAL DOCUMENT AUTHENTICATION USING SECURE HASH ALGORITHM – 256
The advancement of technology is currently accelerating. Many financial transactions are now completed online in digital format. Financial statements, audits, and other important financial documents are stored and shared online. In this situation, financial record security is critical, particularly in preventing document alteration or forgery. Some examples of financial document breaches in 2022 include BI, PTC, PLN, JMTO, and others. Financial document authentication procedures must be implemented to ensure their integrity and validity. Coding is a subset of mathematics that is used in the workplace, such as the Secure Hash Algorithm - 256 (SHA-256). It has several advantages that are far superior to others. To improve the security and trustworthiness of electronic financial documents, this study will use the SHA-256 authentication algorithm to ensure that no financial data is leaked to parties who should not receive it

Perceived Organizational Support and Lecturer Professionalism: The Mediating Role of Job Satisfaction
Lecturer professionalism is a crucial determinant of higher education quality, particularly in institutional contexts with limited structural support. This study examines the influence of Perceived Organizational Support (POS) on lecturer professionalism, with job satisfaction tested as a mediating variable. Employing a quantitative explanatory design, the study involved 293 certified lecturers under the coordination of KOPERTAIS Region IX, North Sumatra. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 3.0. The results revealed that POS had no direct and significant effect on lecturer professionalism (β = 0.130; p = 0.082), but significantly affected job satisfaction (β = 0.728; p = 0.000). Job satisfaction, in turn, exerted a significant positive effect on lecturer professionalism (β = 0.474; p = 0.000) and fully mediated the relationship between POS and professionalism (β = 0.345; p = 0.000). These findings suggest that perceptions of organizational support enhance lecturer professionalism only when translated into positive work experiences that foster psychological and affective job satisfaction. The study underscores the practical importance of adopting relational and humanistic approaches in academic human resource management to strengthen and sustain lecturer professionalism

Hasil studi literatur dan simulasi konseptual menunjukkan bahwa kombinasi metode ini mampu menjaga kualitas citra digital dengan nilai Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) lebih dari 30 dB, yang berarti tidak terjadi degradasi visual yang signifikan. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa pendekatan tersebut dapat diimplementasikan secara efektif dalam sistem administrasi kependudukan berbasis digital untuk menjaga kerahasiaan dan integritas data. Dengan demikian, metode ini berpotensi menjadi solusi komprehensif dalam menghadapi tantangan keamanan data kependudukan di era digital
Prebiotic effect of purple sweet potato resistant starch and the development of its mucoadhesive granule formulation
Purple sweet potatoes are recognized for their prebiotic properties including againts Lactobacillus casei and L. bulgaricus bacteria. This prebiotic effect is due to the high starch content in purple sweet potatoes. The amylose content in starch which is difficult to digest in gastointestinal tract, functions as a prebiotic. To enhance the prebiotic effect of purple sweet potato starch, modification into resistant starch can be performed. Resistant starch exhibits a higher prebiotic effect compared to regular starch because it cannot be broken down by digestive enzymes, allowing it to reach the large intestine in significant amounts. Additionally, the prebiotic effect can be further enhanced by creating mucoadhesive granule formulations that increase the contact time of a substance on the mucosa of the digestive tract. This study aims to evaluate the prebiotic effect of resistant starch from purple sweet potatoes and to develop its mucoadhesive granule formulation. The resistant starch from purple sweet potatoes was prepared using the heat moisture treatment method. The prebiotic activity of resistant starch was tested against Lactobacillus acidophilus and Escherichia coli. The granule formulation was prepared by varying the concentration of polymers used, namely a combination of HPMC and carbopol as mucoadhesive polymers. The results showed that resistant starch from purple sweet potatoes had a prebiotic index of 0.930. The granule formulation F3 with an HPMC and Carbopol polymer ratio of 1:2 was identified as a good mucoadhesive granule formulation. It met pharmaceutical evaluation with a mucoadhesive percentage value of 40%
Formulation and in-vitro antioxidant evaluation of α-mangostin, piperin, curcumin in oral patch and their combination
Natural antioxidants have been developed in various formulations as alternatives to reduce the side effects associated with synthetic antioxidants. α-Mangostin exhibits strong antioxidant properties, although its behavior in combination with other herbal compounds remains unclear. The aim of this study was to formulate a combination of α-M, piperine, and curcumin into an oral patch and to evaluate the antioxidant properties of α-M when combined with piperine and curcumin, both known natural antioxidants. The oral patches were prepared by incorporating the active compounds (α-mangostin, piperine, and curcumin) into a matrix of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), gelatin, and chitosan. Glycerin was added as a plasticizer. Organoleptic assessment, along with evaluations of pH, weight, folding endurance, and moisture absorption capacity, confirmed the successful formulation of α-mangostin (MP), piperine (PP), curcumin (CP), and combination (MPCP) patches as oral delivery systems. All patches maintained a pH above 5.5. The thicknesses of MP, PP, CP, and MPCP were measured at 0.14 ± 0.02 mm, 0.17 ± 0.01 mm, 0.15 ± 0.02 mm, 0.11 ± 0.01 mm, and 0.16 ± 0.02 mm, respectively. The combination of these natural compounds enhanced folding endurance compared to the individual curcumin and piperine patches, while slightly reducing antioxidant activity. The co-formulation of α-mangostin, piperine, and curcumin into a single oral patch demonstrated a modest decline in antioxidant capacity. This study aimed to assess the impact of combining multiple antioxidant-rich natural compounds within a single delivery system
The effect of spiritual intelligence and self-control on nomophobia in Islamic Education Students at Muhammadiyah University
Nomophobia, the fear of being without a smartphone, is increasingly prevalent among university students and may be influenced by psychological factors such as spiritual intelligence and self-control. Several studies have demonstrated that these psychological factors play a significant role in nomophobic tendencies among college students. This quantitative study employs multiple regression analysis to examine the influence of spiritual intelligence and self-control on nomophobia in a sample of 99 Islamic Education students at Muhammadiyah University of Yogyakarta, selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using validated instruments the NoMoPhobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q), the Spiritual Intelligence Self-Report Inventory, and a self-control self-report scale. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression using SPSS version 26. Descriptive analysis revealed that 67.68% of students exhibited high spiritual intelligence, 67.67% demonstrated moderate self-control, and 92.92% experienced high levels of nomophobia. Multiple regression analysis revealed that spiritual intelligence had a significant positive effect on nomophobia (β=0.277, p=0.004), whereas self-control had a significant negative effect (β=-1.015, p<0.001). The model explained 67% of the variance in nomophobia (R²=0.670, Adjusted R²=0.663), indicating a strong influence. However, the R² value of 0.276 mentioned elsewhere suggests moderate explanatory power, which may require clarification. Both spiritual intelligence and self-control significantly affected nomophobia among university students. These findings underscore the importance of developing spiritual intelligence and self-control to reduce nomophobia levels in this population
The effect of a culturally responsive teaching approach using digital comics on critical thinking skills in photosynthesis learning
Learning in the 21st century highlights the need to enhance students' critical thinking abilities by incorporating information and communication technology. This study examines the effect of the Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) approach using digital comics on the critical thinking skills of fourth-grade students in learning about photosynthesis. The aspects of critical thinking measured include analysis, evaluation, and interpretation. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group, involving 62 students who were assigned to either the experimental or control group. The independent samples t-test revealed a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p = 0.024), indicating that students taught using CRT-based digital comics demonstrated better critical thinking performance than those taught using conventional methods. The digital comics integrated local cultural values, such as traditional beverages, indigenous plants, and everyday community practices, making the learning process more contextual and meaningful. This study highlights the potential of CRT-based digital comics to enhance students’ cognitive skills and offers an innovative model for integrating cultural relevance into elementary science education
