Memaksimalkan Metode Pembelajaran Secara Daring Ditengah Wabah Covid-19

Pendidikan sangatlah penting untuk menunjang generasi bangsa yang berkualitas dan unggul. Oleh sebab itu pendidikan harus tetap dilaksanakan walaupun dalam  keadaan yang bagaimanapun, dalam hal ini pemerintah mewajibkan para anak bangsa untuk menempuh pendidikan selama 12 tahun. Dengan adanya virus Covid 19 ini sistem pendidikan yang biasa dilakukan secara normal menjadi terganggu atau terpaksa diberhentikan guna memutus tali persebaran Covid 19. Melihat hal tersebut semakin menurunya kualitas pendidikan di Indonesia maka dari itu metode pendidikan harus tetap dilakukan walupun tidak dengan keadaan normal atau tatap muka. Maka dari itu menteri pendidikan memberikan penyelesaian atas masalah tersebut dengan memunculkan metode baru yang biasa disebut dengan “metode daring”. Metode daring adalah sebuah metode pembelajaran yang dilakukan secara online dengan menggunakan aplikasi seperti goolel meet, zoom dst. Dengan adanya metode daring tersebut maka proses pemebelajaran tetap terlaksanan tanpa adanya kereaguan tertular virus Covid 19 . Akan tetapi banyak masyarakat yang tidak  mampu dalam melaksanakan metode tersebut dikarenakan biaya kuota yang besar atau tidak memiliki media elektronik, sehingga bisa disimpulkan bahwa metode daring tersebut belum sepenuhnya berjalan secara maksimal pada masyarakat desa

Total flavonoid content and antioxidant activity of ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts from accessions of Amomum compactum fruits

Fruits of cardamom (Amomum compactum Sol. Ex Maton), Zingiberaceae family, has long been used as herbs and spices. The aim of the research was to evaluate the total flavonoid content and antioxidant activity in ethanol and ethyl acetate of fruit extract from the accession cardamom. We used ultrasonic extraction with 80% ethanol and ethyl acetate as solvents. Four accessions were performed for total flavonoid content (TFC) by colorimetric method using quercetin as standard flavonoid and antioxidant activity by cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC), and 2,2-diphenyl picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays using Trolox as standard antioxidant. TFC varied from 0.19 mg QE/g dry weight (DW) (ethanol extract of accession ‘Sukabumi’) to 2.26 mg QE/g DW (ethyl acetate extract of accession ‘Ciamis’). Antioxidant activity ranged from 3.83 μmol TE/g DW (ethyl acetate extract of accession ‘Bogor-1’) to 21.90 μmol TE/g DW (ethanol extract of accession ‘Bogor-1’) as calculated by CUPRAC method. In DPPH assay, antioxidant capacity reached from 0.19 μmol TE/g DW (ethanol extract of accession ‘Bogor-1’) to 0.40 μmol TE/g DW (ethyl acetate extract of accession ‘Bogor-2’). Ethyl acetate extract exhibited the highest TPC and antioxidant activity (DPPH) than ethanol extract of cardamom fruits. The accession ‘Ciamis’ and ‘Bogor-1’ of cardamom fruits were well-known highest TFC and antioxidant capacities

Characterization of Hydroxyapatite of Chicken Eggshells Composite with Gelatin as Methylene Blue Absorbent

Chicken egg shells contain an inorganic element (CaCO3) which has potency to be a source of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) which is then reacted with diammonium hydrogen phosphate ((NH4)2HPO4) as a phosphate precursor for hydroxyapatite synthesis. This study aims to determine the characterization of hydroxyapatite from eggshells and determine the absorbability of hydroxyapatite-gelatin composites against methylene blue. Synthesis of hydroxyapatite used precipitation method. The calcination results obtained calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) content in the shell of 68.3%. Analysis of hydroxyapatite with Fourier Tranform Infra-Red (FT-IR) there was a wavenumber of 3434 cm-1 perform hydroxyl groups (-OH-), 1421 cm-1 carbonate groups (-CO3-2) and 1035 cm-1, 604 cm-1, 471 cm-1 phosphate groups (-PO4-2), and analysis by x-ray diffraction revealed that pure hydroxyapatite crystals had formed at an angle of 2Ɵ = 34,08 with crystallinity of 100%. The peaks that appear on the XRD diffractogram are adjusted to the Joint Committee on Power Diffraction Standards (JCPDS) No. 09-0432. The synthesis of HAp-gelatin composites obtained typical groups such as, amine groups from gelatin and phosphate groups and carbonates from Hap. The results of methylene blue absorption using hydroxyapatite-gelatin composites have obtained optimum conditions at a ratio of 2: 4 for 240 minutes with an efficiency of 63%. Based on these data, it reveals that the longer the time given, the greater the methylene blue absorbe

Religious beliefs as coping strategies: exploring the conceptualisation of hope in Islam

Hopelessness tends to correlate with suicidal behaviours. Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) has been claimed to have a good predictive value in predicting suicidality. However, the low rate of suicide in most Muslim nations as compared to non-Muslim nation indicates hopefulness may be a better variable to explain the low rate of suicidality among Muslims. As the BHS lacks this element of hopefulness, especially in integrating the role of religious beliefs as the source of hope to Muslims, the current paper proposes an initiative for BHS to be used in predicting suicidality among Muslims by exploring Quranic verses related to hopefulness. These verses are believed to be the source of strength, comfort and hope for Muslims in facing life difficulties and indirectly predicting the low suicide rate among Muslims

Therapeutic Potential of Honey and Propolis on Ocular Disease

Honey and propolis have recently become the key target of attention for treating certain diseases and promoting overall health and well-being. A high content of flavonoids and phenolic acids found in both honey and propolis contributes to the antioxidant properties to scavenge free radicals. Honey and propolis also exhibited antibacterial effects where they act in two ways, namely the production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and gluconic acids following the enzymatic activities of glucose oxidase, which exerts oxidative damage on the bacteria. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory effects of honey and propolis are mainly by reducing proinflammatory factors such as interleukins and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Their effects on pain were discovered through modulation at a peripheral nociceptive neuron or binding to an opioid receptor in the higher center. The aforementioned properties of honey have been reported to possess potential therapeutic topical application on the exterior parts of the eyes, particularly in treating conjunctivitis, keratitis, blepharitis, and corneal injury. In contrast, most of the medicinal values of propolis are beneficial in the internal ocular area, such as the retina, optic nerve, and uvea. This review aims to update the current discoveries of honey and propolis in treating various ocular diseases, including their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-nociceptive properties. In conclusion, research has shown that propolis and honey have considerable therapeutic promise for treating various eye illnesses, although the present study designs are primarily animal and in vitro studies. Therefore, there is an urgent need to translate this finding into a clinical setting
