Pengaruh Terapi Spiritual Bimbingan Do’a Terhadap Tingkat Kecemasan Pasien Pre Opersi Dengan Spinal Anestesi

Background: Surgery or surgery that has been planned can bring about a stress reaction in patients, both physiological and psychological stress. The occurrence of this stress can lead to a condition of preoperative patient anxiety. Planned surgical actions can cause physiological and psychological responses in patients. The psychological response that usually occurs in preoperative patients is anxiety. Research Objectives: Knowing the effect of giving spiritual therapy guided by prayer on the level of anxiety in preoperative patients with spinal anesthesia in Jombang Hospital. Research Methods: This type of research uses a quasi experimental method with a pre post test research design with a control group design. Respondents were given pretest and posttest treatment using the APAIS scale measurement. The sample in this study was 22 respondents in the intervention group and 22 respondents in the control group. The sampling technique used consecutive sampling technique. Data collection was carried out in November - June 2021. Research Results: The results of data collection were processed using the Wilcoxon test in the intervention group of 0.000 and in the control group of 0.014 and using the Mann Whitney test. Results The Mann Whitney test yielded p=0.006 (p<0.05), so Ha was accepted. Conclusion: There is a significant effect of prayer guidance therapy on the anxiety level of preoperative patients with spinal anesthesia. &nbsp

Subsurface Sediment Layer Analysis at the Dendam Tak Sudah Lake Flyover Construction Site in Bengkulu City Using the HV-Inv Method

Bengkulu City is situated within a subduction zone where the Indo-Australian and Eurasian tectonic plates converge, rendering the area highly susceptible to seismic activity. This study employs the microseismic method to assess seismic vulnerability and the subsurface rock structure at the Dendam Tak Sudah Lake Flyover Construction Site in Bengkulu City, which encompasses a swampy region. The microseismic method used was an inversion of the horizontal to vertical (H/V) spectral ratio (HV-Inv) for determining the dominant frequency (f0), amplification factor (A0), seismic sensitivity index (Kg), and shear wave velocity (Vs). The findings reveal that f0 in the study area range from 2.16 to 7.53 Hz, A0 vary from 0.40 to 3.79, and Kg values span from 0.03 to 6.04. The sedimentary layers exhibit an average thickness of 5-10 meters, with some locations showing significantly thicker sedimentary deposits. Notably, the highest seismic susceptibility is recorded at point T8. The Vs values range from 185.19 to 539.49 m/s, which are inversely proportional to the Kg values and indicate soil classifications varying from soft to medium. The overall seismic risk in the study area is moderate. These results offer key insights into geophysical and geological conditions in Bengkulu City, crucial for earthquake mitigation

Problem-Based Learning Model Assisted by Interactive Media to Improve Students Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)

This study explores the issue of students' low Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in Science, specifically on the topic of Acids, Bases, and Salts, in Class VII-5 at UPT SPF SMPN 40 Makassar. The research aims to evaluate how effective the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model, supported by interactive media, is in improving students’ HOTS. It also examines the level of improvement in each learning cycle and assesses the observed HOTS development throughout the study. Additionally, the research seeks to determine whether there is a significant increase in students' HOTS after applying the PBL model with interactive media. This study follows the Classroom Action Research (CAR) methodology, conducted in two cycles that include planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data was collected through HOTS test results (quantitative data) and classroom observations (qualitative data). In the pre-cycle stage, none of the students passed the test, with all 30 students falling below the learning criteria. In Cycle I, 18 students passed, while 12 did not, leading to a class-wide learning completion rate of 60%, categorized as low. Classroom observations during this cycle showed a score of 59.58%, considered fair. In Cycle II, all students successfully passed, increasing the success rate to 83.33%, classified as high. Observations also improved, reaching 66.67%, categorized as good. These findings suggest that the use of Problem-Based Learning with interactive media can effectively enhance students' HOTS.Masalah yang diangkat dalam penelitian ini adalah rendahnya Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) yang ditunjukkan oleh siswa dalam mata pelajaran Sains, khususnya dalam topik Asam, Basa, dan Garam, di Kelas VII-5 di UPT SPF SMPN 40 Makassar. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menilai keberhasilan model Pembelajaran Problem Based Learning yang dibantu oleh media interaktif dalam meningkatkan HOTS siswa di Kelas VII-5 di UPT SPF SMPN 40 Makassar. Selain itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan tingkat peningkatan yang dicapai oleh siswa dalam setiap siklus pembelajaran menggunakan pendekatan Pembelajaran Berbasis Masalah dibantu media interaktif. Penelitian ini juga bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi HOTS yang diamati dalam setiap siklus. Selanjutnya, penelitian ini bermaksud untuk menentukan apakah ada peningkatan yang signifikan dalam HOTS siswa melalui implementasi Pembelajaran Berbasis Masalah dibantu media interaktif di Kelas VII-5 di UPT SPF SMPN 40 Makassar. Studi ini mengikuti metodologi Classroom Action Research (CAR), yang terdiri dari dua siklus yang melibatkan perencanaan, implementasi tindakan, observasi, dan refleksi. Data yang dikumpulkan meliputi data kualitatif dari hasil uji HOTS dan observasi, serta data kuantitatif yang diperoleh dari hasil uji yang mencerminkan HOTS. Pada pra-siklus, tidak ada siswa yang berhasil menyelesaikan uji, sementara 30 siswa tidak berhasil. Pada Siklus I, 18 siswa menyelesaikan uji, dan 12 tidak, menghasilkan persentase kelengkapan pembelajaran klasikal sebesar 60%, diklasifikasikan sebagai rendah. Hasil observasi observer mencapai 59,58% dalam kategori cukup. Pada Siklus II, semua siswa berhasil menyelesaikan uji, dengan persentase 83,33%, diklasifikasikan sebagai tinggi menurut HOTS. Hasil observasi menunjukkan 66,67%, dikategorikan sebagai baik. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan model Pembelajaran Berbasis Masalah dibantu oleh media interaktif memiliki kemampuan untuk meningkatkan Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) siswa
