The Effect of Problem Based Learning Applied With Blended Learning on Students’ Problem Solving Skills

This research aims to determine the influence of the PBL model applied through blended learning on improving the problem-solving ability of learners on the concept of light topic physics at the junior high school / MTs level. The research method used by the one group pretest posttest design data was obtained through the provision of a problem-solving test consisting of pre-test and post-test. After the pre test, blended learning was conducted 3 times after that post test was carried out. The sample in the study was a class VIII student at integrated MTs in one of Gorontalo's 25 cities. Research and analysis results show the influence of blended learning on problem-solving skills. The ability to solve problems can be seen from the improvement of learners' problem-solving ability on the concept of light. This can be seen from the comparison of the value obtained in the pre-test and post-test analyzed using N-Gain which is as wide as 0.77 with a high interpretation. Other influence indicators can be seen from the pretest average of 37% while the posttest average is 86%. Improvements also occur in all problem solving indicators

Konflik Komunal Mengatasnamakan Agama di Indonesia: Analisis terhadap Konflik Ahmadiyah dalam Pemberitaan Media, 2005-2011

The article offers a fresh perspective to analyze the conflict through observation of media coverage, proposing that through this close observation, the form, factors and motives of conflict can be easily identified. Through its observation, this paper records that the clash between Ahmadiyyah and other religious groups has predominated social conflict in Indonesia since 2005 until 2011. It argues that the conflict persistence is due to a weak law enforcement. The state is deemed to be failed to protect the minority group against the violent acts of other religious groups and it is this failure that this artcile associates with the escalation and development of the conflict

INTERNALISASI NILAI-NILAI PENDIDIKAN AKHLAK MELALUI PROGRAM TAHFIDZ AL-QUR’AN ( JUZ AMMA) DI SMP NEGERI 9 MALANG

Morality is a matter that must be internalized to students, not only in learning, to show a good moral attitude towards others, it must be internalized through activities, one of which is through the Al-Qur'an tahfidz program (Juz amma) in internalization needs to require processes which is very long time to get to the final point on moral attitude of morals, morals that are ready to be used and carried out in daily life, the purpose of this study is of course to find out how the process of internalizing moral education towards students in SMP Negeri 9 Malang, the approach used is a qualitative approach to find out all the phenomena that exist in the field While the presence of researchers is a necessity to collect data and participate in the field, the data used by all the actions observed and interviewed as well as related documentation and photos, data analysis techniques using data techniques. interactive data, while the validity of the data by data collection, verification and field data, the results of this study indicate that in conducting internalization of moral education values must pass through three main stages including the stage of value transformation, the stage of value transactions, and the stage of value transinternalization

Rabies control in Bangladesh and prediction of human rabies cases by 2030: a One Health approach

Background Bangladesh is making progress toward achieving zero dog-mediated rabies deaths by 2030, a global goal set in 2015. Methods Drawing from multiple datasets, including patient immunisation record books and mass dog vaccination (MDV) databases, we conducted a comprehensive analysis between 2011 and 2023 to understand the effectiveness of rabies control programmes and predict human rabies cases in Bangladesh by 2030 using time-series forecasting models. We also compared rabies virus sequences from GenBank in Bangladesh and other South Asian countries. Findings The estimated dog population in Bangladesh was determined to be 1,668,140, with an average dog population density of 12.83 dogs/km2 (95% CI 11.14–14.53) and a human-to-dog ratio of 86.70 (95% CI 76.60–96.80). The MDV campaign has led to the vaccination of an average of 21,295 dogs (95% CI 18,654–23,935) per district annually out of an estimated 26,065 dogs (95% CI 22,898–29,230). A declining trend in predicted and observed human rabies cases has been identified, suggesting that Bangladesh is poised to make substantial progress towards achieving the ‘Zero by 30’ goal, provided the current trajectory continues. The phylogenetic analysis shows that rabies viruses in Bangladesh belong to the Arctic-like-1 group, which differs from those in Bhutan despite sharing a common ancestor. Interpretation Bangladesh's One Health approach demonstrated that an increase in MDV and anti-rabies vaccine (ARV) resulted in a decline in the relative risk of human rabies cases, indicating that eliminating dog-mediated human rabies could be achievable.
