A DIGITAL INTERACTIVE MODULE-BASED ON PROBLEM LEARNING IN ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

The background of this research is the lack of innovative digital technology-based learning media. There are not many digital interactive modules that have been developed to support learning. The limited availability of digital interactive modules can limit the use of technology in learning and hinder the achievement of learning goals in the era of Industrial Revolution 4.0. For this reason, it is necessary to develop digital-based interactive modules that provide opportunities for students to discover for themselves the concepts they are studying. Learners become more active and independently build knowledge. Research and development used the Borg and Gall model, which consists of product development, product validation, design revision, testing, and product revision. The research instrument consisted of a module validation questionnaire (content and media) and a response questionnaire. Module validation involves lectures at Teuku Umar University who are experts in their fields as content and media expert. The experts validation results obtained a combined score of 87.5%, indicating that the module can be used without repair. The product field test was carried out in the odd semester of the 2023–2024 academic year with 60 students at SMP Negeri 1 Aceh Barat. Field test results showed that 91% of students gave positive responses to the module. The development of digital-based interactive problem-based learning modules meets the requirements, can be used to facilitate active, creative learning, leads to the development of students' skills independently, and is relevant to technological developments

Use of Ovitrap for The Spatial Mapping of Aedes spp. in The Endemic Area of Dengue Fever of Baitussalam District Aceh Besar

The strategy for controlling dengue vector through periodic monitoring is an effective mitigation effort. Periodic monitoring of dengue vectors is generally more often conducted in the larval stage rather than the egg stage. Monitoring Aedes eggs periodically using ovitraps is more effective because it is not restricted by season. The objective of this study is to conduct spatial mapping of Aedes spp. distribution using ovitraps in Baitussalam Subdistrict, Aceh Besar. This study used observational methods and purposive sampling to determine the sample houses for ovitrap placement. A total of 50 houses in 5 gampong/village were observed. Analysis was conducted using the GPS Essentials application and Google Earth Pro software. The results showed that there were 4 gampong with Aedes spp. egg distribution in Baitussalam Subdistrict, Aceh Besar, namely Gampong Blang Krueng, Gampong Baet, Gampong Kajhu, and Gampong Cadek, while in Gampong Lam Ujong, no ovitraps positive for Aedes eggs. Ovitraps are an effective method for mapping Aedes spp. in efforts to control dengue. Keyword: Aedes spp; Dengue fever; ovitrap; spatial mapping

SHARIA INTERNAL RESOURCES: CAPABILITIES TO DRIVE THE SUSTAINABILITY OF ISLAMIC BANKING

Having the largest Muslim population in the world, Indonesia presents a potential market for the development of Islamic banking, especially considering that the market share of Islamic banking is currently less than 10%. The unique characteristics of Islamic banking, which distinguish it from conventional banking, suggest the possibility of having extraordinary internal resource capabilities. This study aims to explore internal resources within the context of Islamic banking, a sector with considerable potential for growth in the financial industry. This study uses an exploratory approach with focus group discussion and exploratory factor analysis to develop and identify the dimensions of Sharia Internal Resources. The results are first-order factors generated by grouping items into four dimensions. Each formed dimension corresponds to Islamic elements that refer to activities and operational processes based on Islamic law. Furthermore, the second-order analysis found that the formed, first-order factors can be integrated into a more comprehensive construct: Sharia Internal Resources. These findings enrich general knowledge by providing insight into the internal resources that are essential and unique for the sustainability of the Islamic banking sector, particularly when facing competition dominated by conventional banking

THE COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE OF RELIGIOUS BELIEF FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SAM HARRIS: A CRITIQUE

This research aims to criticize the perspective of Sam Harris on which he built his philosophical and intellectual framework in his cognitive neuroscience-based interpretation of multiple philosophical concepts such as belief, disbelief, morality, and free will in his base research paper titled (Functional Neuroimaging of Belief, Disbelief, and Uncertainty). This research relied on description, analysis, and criticism. It describes Sam Harris’s core thoughts in his study on neuroimaging, and then analyzes them and states their purposes and implications. Then it criticizes his ideas, relying on two elements. First, the logical and philosophical and Kalam argumentations to criticize his ideas and to explain the flaws in his knowledge foundations. Second, relying on the neuroscientists’ views contradicting the theses in Harris’ paper besides general scientific criticism. The research concluded that consciousness precedes matter and not the opposite, and that belief is innate in the human mind from birth and is one of the so-called necessary-knowledge that cannot be refuted by material experiences. Thus, faith is an innate awareness and not a purely materialistic cognitive state that can be reduced, or abstracted, and its level cannot be measured by simply conducting tests through belief, disbelief, or uncertainty about written prepositions

DESIGNING A GENDER-RESPONSIVE QIRA’AH‎ LEARNING MODULE: ‎BRIDGING EQUALITY AND INCLUSIVITY IN ISLAMIC ‎HIGHER EDUCATION

The lack of gender-responsive learning materials causes biased understanding and does not support the principle of gender equality in Islam. Therefore, developing a gender-responsive qira’ah learning module aligned with gender equality principles represents an innovative approach to curriculum development. This research aims to design and test a gender-responsive qira’ah ‎ learning module for Islamic higher education using the research and development method and the ADDIE model, representing an innovative effort in curriculum development. The research results indicate that this gender-responsive qira’ah ‎ learning module significantly enhances students understanding of gender equality in the context of Islam. This is evidenced by an increase in the average score from 47,5 on the pre-test to 82 on the post-test, a gain of 34,5 points with a t-test yielding a p-value of 0.00, confirming that the improvement is statistically significant. The design of the module that integrates gender equality values, examples of the use of inclusive, non-stereotypical language, encouraging active student participation has created an inclusive learning environment. This is one aspect of the novelty of the results of this research. This module is expected to be a model for developing a qira’ah‎ curriculum that is more relevant and responsive to gender issues

The Role of the ASICC-SLICES Model in Promoting Science Literacy and Collaboration Skills: A Pathway to Educational Sustainable Development

The lack of science literacy and collaboration skills can hinder high school students in facing global challenges and supporting environmental sustainability actions. Therefore, developing science literacy and collaboration skills is crucial, particularly in biology education. The ASICC-SLICES model (Adapting, Searching, Interpreting, Creating, and Communicating based on Science Literacy Circles) enhances students' science literacy and collaboration skills. This quasi-experimental study, using a pretest-posttest control group design, aims to evaluate the effect of the ASICC-SLICES model on improving students' science literacy and collaboration skills and its contribution to Educational Sustainable Development. The study population consisted of tenth-grade students from a public high school in Lampung, with a sample of 70 students obtained using the Cluster Random Sampling technique. The research instruments included a science literacy test, questionnaires, observation sheets for collaboration skills, and documentation. Data were analyzed using MANOVA with an α of 0.05. The results showed that the implementation of the ASICC-SLICES model significantly improved students' science literacy and collaboration skills, with n-gain scores for the experimental and control groups (sig) 0.000<0.05 (α). These findings indicate that the ASICC-SLICES model contributes positively to students' awareness and actions in supporting environmental sustainabilit

CHARACTERIZATION OF PLIEK U FUNGUS AND CARBOHYDRATE FERMENTATION TEST

Pliek u, also known as patarana, is a traditional coconut oil produced by the people of Aceh, especially in Dayah Bubue Village, Pidie. The fermented oil from pliek u is often used by the villagers to be applied to itchy skin or wounds. It is necessary to isolate and identify the characteristics of isolates from pliek u and test isolates against carbohydrate fermentation in order to know the potential of pliek u isolates which are often used as seasonings for Acehnese cuisine. The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics of fungal colonies found in the process of making pliek u, examine the physical factors of the substrate on fungal growth, and examine the results of carbohydrate fermentation tests. Research procedures: sampling at the research site in Dayah Bubue Village, Pidie, the process of isolating fungi from pliek u, culture purification, identification, and carbohydrate fermentation tests. The results of the research at the initial stage of fermentation found Soradia sp. and Curvularia sp., the final stage of fermentation found Soradia sp. and Microascus sp., pliek u stage found Mucor sp. Fungal characters in general large colonies, irregular shapes, round colonies, flat elevations, and notched margins. Changes in temperature and pH greatly affect the presence of pliek u. The five fungal isolates reacted positively to glucose and sucrose fermentation, but did not react positively to the lactose test

Regulation and Supervision of Halal Prodcuts in Aceh Qanun No. 8/2016

Eating and drinking are routine human activities, thus requiring various regulations related to these problems. Allah commands us to eat halal (halalan) and good (thayyiban) food so as not to harm our bodies. Aceh has issued a special regulation to provide protection to the public regarding the products consumed, namely Qanun Number 8 of 2016 concerning the Halal Product Guarantee System, known as Qanun SJPH. This paper wants to find a clear picture of the arrangement and supervision of halal products in Aceh from the Perspective of Qanun Number 8 of 2016 concerning the Halal Product Guarantee System. This research is a qualitative research with a normative juridical approach. All data that has been collected was analyzed using the content analysis method. The result of the research is that the SJPH Qanun has provided a clear description of the guarantee of halal products in Aceh. This regulation of SJPH is a form of responsibility of the Government of Aceh in providing legal protection for Muslims in particular and all Acehnese people in general, regardless of religious origin and certain groups. The main regulatory object is related to halal products, besides that it is also important related to products that meet hygienic standards. Halal product guarantees are regulated in qanuns with a very systematic system of arrangement, supervision and implementation of arrangement and supervision of product distribution in Aceh. The substance of the qanun is very comprehensive regarding guarantees for halal products in the aspects of production, distribution and consumption. Qanun regulates from arrangement, supervision to the provisions of 'uqubat for perpetrators of violations. Arrangement of halal products is carried out starting from raw materials to marketing of halal products, namely products that are labeled halal and/or have received halal certificates from authorized institutions. Furthermore, supervision is carried out from the origin of raw materials, production processes and production facilities on processed animal and/or vegetable products, medicines and cosmetics. The implementation of arrangement and supervision of halal products is the responsibility of LPPOM MPU Aceh and LPPOM can involve an integrated team from cross-agency related to SJPH

PLANT INVENTORY OF CAMPUS AREA AT UNIVERSITAS SYIAH KUALA, BANDA ACEH

Syiah Kuala University is one of the public universities in Banda Aceh, where each office unit has an Open Green Space (OGS). The green space is planted by plants, both intentionally and wildly. There are several plant habitus, including herbs, shrubs, and trees. There is no information on the list of flora species on the campus of Syiah Kuala University.
