Keywords: Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary, Reading Assessment, Vocabulary Assessment, MIA, Peminatan Bahasa Inggris The present study investigated the correlation between students' achievement in EFL vocabulary and EFL reading comprehension. The study was done in SMA N 7 Malang. The sample of the research was 30 students which were taken by systematic sampling. This study was quantitative research with correlational method. In collecting data, the writer used a test which consists of 20 items of vocabulary test and 20 items of reading comprehension test as the instrument. The students were asked to do the test of both vocabulary and reading comprehension at the same time. Therefore, the data were in the form of students' scores from the test. As the study was correlational method and the data gained is ratio data, thus they were computed statistically by using Pearson Product Moment. The result of coefficient correlation (ro) was 0.79 and tvalue (to) was 6.82. Then by df 28, it was compared with rtable and tat 5% significance which is 0.374 and 2.048. It shows that ro is higher than rtable (0.79 > 0.374) and to is higher than ttable (6.82 > 2.048). Since ro was higher than rtable and ‘to' was also higher than ttable table; therefore the correlation was positive and strong. These mean the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted and null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected. Therefore, there was statistically significant correlation between students' mastery in EFL vocabulary and their EFL reading comprehension

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TECHNOLOGY-ENHANCED DIFFERENTIATED READING INSTRUCTION (TEDRI) TO IMPROVE THE CRITICAL READING SKILLS OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WITH VARIED MOTIVATION LEVELS AT SMA TARUNA NUSANTARA MAGELANG
This study investigates the effectiveness of Technology-Enhanced
Differentiated Reading Instruction (TEDRI) in improving the critical reading skills
of senior high school students with different levels of reading motivation. Grounded
in the principles of differentiated instruction and supported by digital learning
technologies, TEDRI was designed to respond to the diverse needs of learners and
to foster deeper engagement with reading tasks. The research adopted a mixed
methods approach using a quasi-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test
design, complemented by qualitative data from classroom observations and
questionnaires. Thirty-three Grade 10 students at SMA Taruna Nusantara Magelang
participated in the study and were categorized into high, moderate, and low
motivation groups based on a validated Reading Motivation Questionnaire.
Quantitative data were analysed through descriptive statistics, Shapiro-Wilk
and Levene’s tests, and ANCOVA to assess the effectiveness of TEDRI across
varying motivation levels. Qualitative insights were drawn from teacher journals,
observation checklists, and student reflections, which helped to capture the learning
dynamics in real classroom settings. As both the classroom teacher and the
researcher, I had the opportunity to closely observe how students engaged with the
TEDRI model, adjusting strategies in real time to suit their individual needs. The
findings showed a significant improvement in students’ critical reading scores after
the intervention, with students in the high motivation group showing the most
substantial gains, though encouraging progress was also evident among those with
lower motivation.
Overall, the results suggest that TEDRI is an effective and adaptable
instructional approach for promoting critical reading in EFL contexts, especially
when student motivation is thoughtfully considered. This study highlights the
importance of designing responsive teaching strategies that not only integrate
technology but also honour the varied learning profiles of students in today’s
classrooms
Urinary miRNA Biomarkers of Drug-Induced Kidney Injury and Their Site Specificity Within the Nephron
\ua9 The Author(s) 2020. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Society of Toxicology. Drug-induced kidney injury (DIKI) is a major concern in both drug development and clinical practice. There is an unmet need for biomarkers of glomerular damage and more distal renal injury in the loop of Henle and the collecting duct (CD). A cross-laboratory program to identify and characterize urinary microRNA (miRNA) patterns reflecting tissue- or pathology-specific DIKI was conducted. The overall goal was to propose miRNA biomarker candidates for DIKI that could supplement information provided by protein kidney biomarkers in urine. Rats were treated with nephrotoxicants causing injury to distinct nephron segments: the glomerulus, proximal tubule, thick ascending limb (TAL) of the loop of Henle and CD. Meta-analysis identified miR-192-5p as a potential proximal tubule-specific urinary miRNA candidate. This result was supported by data obtained in laser capture microdissection nephron segments showing that miR-192-5p expression was enriched in the proximal tubule. Discriminative miRNAs including miR-221-3p and -222-3p were increased in urine from rats treated with TAL versus proximal tubule toxicants in accordance with their expression localization in the kidney. Urinary miR-210-3p increased up to 40-fold upon treatment with TAL toxicants and was also enriched in laser capture microdissection samples containing TAL and/or CD versus proximal tubule. miR-23a-3p was enriched in the glomerulus and was increased in urine from rats treated with doxorubicin, a glomerular toxicant, but not with toxicants affecting other nephron segments. Taken together these results suggest that urinary miRNA panels sourced from specific nephron regions may be useful to discriminate the pathology of toxicant-induced lesions in the kidney, thereby contributing to DIKI biomarker development needs for industry, clinical, and regulatory use

Pelaksanaan Pembagian Harta Warisan Adat Dalam Masyarakat Melayu Di Tinjau Dari Perspektif Hukum Islam Di Kecamatan Ujungbatu
In Indonesia, there are various ways of doing inheritance, namely BW inheritance (western inheritance), adat and Islam. Some of these inheritances have different characteristics from one another. Inheritance law in Indonesia is always influenced by the development of three basic concepts of the inheritance system. The three legal systems are customary law, Islamic law and Dutch heritage law or civil law which is widely contained in Burgerlijk Wetboek. Customary inheritance law is the law that contains the systems and principles that will apply in it that arise from the previous ancestors and regulates the legal principles of inheritance, inheritance, heirs and inheritance as well as how to divide the inheritance that is inherited. transfer it to the heir. Customary inheritance law is actually a law that passes on assets from one generation to the next from generation to generation to their descendants. The implementation of Islamic inheritance law in general has not been applied in several regions in Indonesia, especially in the Ujungbatu District area, the community prioritizes inheritance with the customary inheritance system that applies there and also uses deliberation in its implementation. In this study, the author has the main problems discussed, namely, 1. How is the Implementation of the Distribution of Indigenous Inheritance In Malay Indigenous Peoples in Ujungbatu District according to the Perspective of Islamic Law. And what are the obstacles in the implementation of the distribution of customary inheritance in the Malay Indigenous Community in Ujungbatu District according to the perspective of Islamic law. And the purpose of the research itself is the same as the problem formulation, namely to find out the results of the research problem formulation. The research method that the author uses in this study is empirical legal research, namely researching directly into the field to find out the application of existing law in society. The results of the research that the authors obtained are the implementation of the distribution of customary inheritance in the Malay community in the Ujung Batu sub-district according to the perspective of Islamic law, namely the Malay customary system in the Ujung Batu area is not in accordance with its implementation / inversely proportional to Islamic inheritance law. And in the distribution of inheritance, the Ujung Batu community has several obstacles, namely: 1. There is a difference of understanding between the heirs 2. The heirs are not old enough/not yet mature 3. The heirs have no offspring
