The transition from secondary school to higher education represents a critical phase that requires academic, psychological, and social adaptation, particularly in laboratory-based programs such as Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT). First-year students encounter significant changes in learning systems, increased demands for independence, and laboratory practices that emphasize precision and professional responsibility. This study aims to analyze the learning enthusiasm, motivation, and learning readiness of first-year MLT students during their transition to university. A qualitative approach with a phenomenological strategy was employed to explore students’ lived experiences through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings reveal that students’ experiences are characterized by initial shock toward the university learning system, laboratory practice as both a trigger of enthusiasm and a source of pressure, fluctuating motivation influenced by perceived self-competence, the central role of self-regulated learning in readiness, and social support as a buffering factor in adaptation. Laboratory sessions emerged as a key space for shaping academic and professional identity, while time management and collaborative learning strategies were crucial in sustaining engagement. These findings contribute to a deeper conceptual understanding of first-year transition dynamics in health education and provide practical implications for strengthening academic mentoring systems and fostering self-regulated learning skills among new university students.

I Made Karya Jurdiawan, Kasmat Saleh Nur , Sartika Dewi Usman — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is designed to flow and consolidate under its own weight without mechanical vibration while maintaining high workability. The properties of SCC are strongly influenced by the characteristics of fine aggregate. Stone ash, which has fine particles and a rough surface texture, has the potential to be used as a partial replacement for fine aggregate. This study investigated the effect of stone ash substitution on the compressive strength and fresh properties of SCC in accordance with the European Federation of National Associations Representing for Concrete (EFNARC) 2005 criteria. Stone ash was substituted at 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of the fine aggregate content. Fresh concrete tests included slump flow, T₅₀₀, J-Ring, and GTM Screen Ability, while compressive strength was tested at 28 days. The results showed that all mixtures met the slump flow, viscosity, and GTM Screen Ability requirements. However, the 5% variation showed less satisfactory performance in the T₅₀₀ test, and the 5%, 10%, and 15% variations were classified as Category III (poor) in the J-Ring test. Compressive strength increased at 5%, 10%, and 15% substitutions to 36.66 MPa, 35.80 MPa, and 35.94 MPa, respectively, compared to 30.19 MPa for the control mix. The highest strength was achieved at 5% substitution, representing a 21.43% increase. At 20% substitution, compressive strength decreased to 34.25 MPa. These findings indicate that limited stone ash substitution can enhance SCC compressive strength while maintaining acceptable fresh concrete performance.

Indonesia has a high level of earthquake vulnerability due to its location within the Ring of Fire and at the convergence of three major tectonic plates. This condition necessitates the design of earthquake-resistant multistory buildings by considering stair elements that are integrated with the main structural system. Improper stair placement may affect structural stiffness and eccentricity and increase interstory drift, potentially leading to severe damage. This study analyzes the effect of stair position on the drift of reinforced concrete building structures using 3D modeling of three stair placement configurations from previous studies. Seismic load analysis employed the Time History Analysis method using three pairs of global earthquake records: Chi-Chi, Kobe, and El Centro. The analysis focused on evaluating interstory drift values to determine whether the stair placement configurations met safety standards. The findings indicate that stair placement significantly affects interstory drift. The Chi-Chi earthquake produced the largest interstory drift in Placement 3, particularly on the second and third floors, exceeding the allowable limit of 40 mm with values of 59.20 mm (X- direction) and 46.19 mm (Y-direction). This was followed by the El Centro earthquake, whereas the Kobe earthquake resulted in the smallest interstory drift for the same configuration, remaining below the allowable limit, with values of 27.54 mm (X-direction) and 24.15 mm (Y-direction).

Rayhan Putri Maiyo, Kasmat Saleh Nur, Komang Arya Utama — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The use of pozzolanic materials, such as silica fume and Lompotoo trass, aims to enhance concrete performance while reducing the use of sand as a fine aggregate. Lompotoo trass is a material with a high fineness, making it suitable for partial substitution for fine aggregate. This study aims to analyze the effect of adding silica fume and varying the percentage of Lompotoo trass as a partial substitution for fine aggregate on the compressive strength and workability of concrete. The testing was conducted by producing four mix variations: normal concrete and concrete with partial substitution of Lompotoo trass for fine aggregate at 25%, 50%, and 75%. Each variation of Lompotoo trass substitution was combined with the addition of 10% silica fume. In general, changes in concrete characteristics were observed across all mix variations. The slump value showed a decreasing trend as the percentage of Lompotoo trass substitution increased. On the other hand, the compressive strength of normal concrete of f’c 30.34 MPa increased to f’c 32.16 MPa at 25% trass substitution, f’c 32.97 MPa at 50% substitution, and reached f’c 36.65 MPa at 75% substitution. These results indicate that the use of Lompotoo trass combined with silica fume enhances the compressive strength of concrete, although it is accompanied by a reduction in workability.

Mohamad Bayu Wahyudi Husain, Niniek Pratiwi, Rahmayanti — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The increase in the number of students and academic activities at the Faculty of Law, Gorontalo State University (UNG) has not been matched by the availability of adequate facilities and infrastructure. The existing buildings are limited in terms of space capacity, thermal comfort, and learning environment quality, resulting in a less than optimal learning process. In addition, the existing buildings are not fully adapted to the tropical climate, which is characterized by high temperatures, high humidity, and high rainfall throughout the year. Therefore, it is necessary to redesign the Gorontalo State University Faculty of Law building in a way that addresses these issues in a functional and sustainable manner. This design aims to formulate a design concept for the UNG Faculty of Law using a Tropical Architecture approach that is responsive to the climate and capable of improving thermal comfort, energy efficiency, and the quality of learning spaces. The methods used in the design include field observations, literature studies, comparative studies, and analysis of site data, space requirements, structure, and building utilities. The design results emphasize the processing of building mass orientation, optimization of cross ventilation and natural lighting, use of secondary skin elements, application of voids as vertical ventilation, and provision of green open spaces as microclimate controllers. The application of this Tropical Architecture approach is expected to produce a comfortable, functional, energy-efficient, and sustainable Faculty of Law building that supports academic activities at Gorontalo State University.

Analisis Dinamik Model Penularan Kolera dengan Mempertimbangkan Risiko Individu dan Intervensi Karantina

This study develops an SIQRB mathematical model to analyze the transmission dynamics of cholera by incorporating individual risk stratification and quarantine interventions. The model consists of six human compartments, including high- and low-risk susceptible individuals, infected individuals from each risk group, quarantined individuals, and recovered individuals, along with one environmental compartment representing the concentration of Vibrio cholerae. This framework allows a comprehensive analysis of the interaction between human populations and environmental factors in disease transmission. The stability analysis shows that the disease-free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable when the basic reproduction number (R₀) is less than one (R₀ < 1), and becomes unstable when R₀ exceeds one (R₀ > 1), indicating the potential for endemic conditions. Sensitivity analysis identifies the most influential parameters affecting R₀, namely the immigration rate (Λ), the environmental transmission rate (βb), and the bacterial shedding rate (ξ). These parameters significantly contribute to the increase in disease transmission. Numerical simulations confirm the analytical findings, showing that higher values of these parameters lead to increased numbers of infected individuals and higher environmental bacterial concentrations. Conversely, environmental-based control strategies—such as mobility restrictions, improved sanitation, and water disinfection—are effective in reducing R₀ below one. Therefore, this study highlights the critical importance of environmental interventions in controlling cholera transmission and preventing long-term endemicity.

Analisis Variasi Tras Lompotoo Sebagai Substitusi Parsial Agregat Halus Terhadap Kuat Tekan Beton Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC)

Moh. Rizky Pradana, Kasmat Saleh Nur, Komang Arya Utama — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a type of concrete capable of flowing and consolidating under its own weight without mechanical vibration, making it suitable for structures with dense reinforcement and complex geometries. The performance of SCC is highly influenced by its constituent materials, particularly fine aggregates, which affect both workability and compressive strength. This study investigated the use of Lompotoo trass as a partial replacement for fine aggregate in SCC and its impact on workability and compressive strength. Lompotoo trass was used at substitution levels of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of the total fine aggregate volume. A superplasticizer, Sika ViscoCrete 3115 N, was added at 1.5% of cement weight. Workability was evaluated through slump flow, T500 flow time, J-ring, and GTM screen stability tests based on EFNARC (2005) standards, while compressive strength was measured at 28 days. The results showed that all SCC mixtures met the required workability criteria. However, the J-ring test indicated poor passing ability (Category III) for the 5%, 10%, and 20% variations. The highest compressive strength was achieved at 5% substitution, reaching 37.16 MPa, a 23.1% increase compared to the control mixture (30.19 MPa). The 10% and 15% substitutions also improved strength by 17.4% and 12.3%, respectively, while the 20% substitution resulted in a slight decrease of 1.26%. These findings suggest that Lompotoo trass is a promising material for partial fine aggregate substitution in SCC, contributing to improved performance and sustainable concrete development.

This study aims to analyze the hedonic value and chemical quality of blood cockle crackers (Anadara granosa) through different concentrations of cockle meat, namely 200 g, 250 g, and 300 g. The organoleptic test was designed using the Kruskal-Wallis method, while the proximate test was designed using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), and both were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) in SPSS 16 software. Treatments that showed significant effects on the tested parameters were further analyzed using Duncan’s multiple range test. The results of the Kruskal-Wallis test showed that different formulations of blood cockle meat had a significant effect on organoleptic parameters. Increasing the amount of blood cockle in the formulation significantly decreased the hedonic value, from the “liked” category to “neutral.” Protein and fat contents increased significantly with the addition of blood cockle meat, while moisture and ash contents did not show significant changes. The moisture and protein contents met the requirements of SNI 2713.1:2009, and the fat content in treatment A also met the requirements of SNI 2713.1:2009. However, the ash content based on ANOVA results did not meet the requirements of SNI 2713.1:2009.

Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study is motivated by the disparity in welfare outcomes and the level of dependency among beneficiaries, where most Beneficiary Families (KPM) of the Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT) program in Biontong Village still experience relatively low income levels and high dependency on the program. This indicates that BPNT has not yet provided a significant and sustainable impact on improving the welfare and independence of poor households. The objective of this study is to analyze the effect of the BPNT program on the welfare of poor families in Biontong Village, Bolangitang Timur District, North Bolaang Mongondow Regency. This research employs a quantitative approach using questionnaires as the primary data collection method. The sample consists of 72 respondents who are BPNT beneficiaries, and the data are analyzed using simple linear regression. The results reveal a positive and significant effect of BPNT on the welfare of poor families. This is evidenced by a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05 and a t-value of 4.614 exceeding the t-table value of 1.667, indicating that the alternative hypothesis is accepted. These findings suggest that BPNT contributes to welfare improvement, although it has not fully reduced long-term dependency.

Reformulasi dan Pembuktian Teorema Menelaus menggunakan Variabel Kompleks

Deny Ardika Prasetyo, Asriadi, Lailany Yahya — Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to reformulate and prove Menelaus’s Theorem using a complex variable approach. In classical Euclidean geometry, Menelaus’s Theorem states that three points, each lying on a side or the extension of a side of a triangle, are collinear if and only if the product of the ratios of the lengths of the resulting line segments equals one. Through a complex algebraic approach, this study systematically reorganizes the proof of the theorem and represents the geometric structure of triangles and straight lines in the complex plane. The representation of points and line segments, along with the use of fundamental properties such as conjugates and modulus, is employed to prove the theorem analytically. The findings of this study confirm that the use of complex variables provides an efficient analytical framework for deriving geometric proofs, resulting in a more systematic logical flow compared to the classical geometric approach. This study offers a new perspective on the development of modern geometry and opens up opportunities for further exploration in the application of complex variables to solve other geometric problems.

Anti-Modernism as Reflected in the Main Character of Movie Into the Wild

Lilly Juniar Ibrahim, Magdalena Baga, Farid Muhamad — Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to examine how Into the Wild represents anti-modernism through the character of Christopher McCandless. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method using the sociology of literature approach to analyze how social conditions, family background, and personal experiences influence the main character’s rejection of modern values. The data were collected from the film’s script, scenes, and dialogues, supported by relevant academic sources. The findings indicate that anti-modernism is represented through Christopher McCandless’s rejection of material success, career ambition, institutional identity, and rational planning. His perspective develops gradually as a result of emotional conflict, family instability, and dissatisfaction with modern social structures. The contrast between Annandale as a structured suburban environment and Alaska as a natural and isolated setting highlights the tension between modern institutional life and the search for authenticity. The study also identifies key anti-modernist elements, including criticism of modern society, pessimism toward material values, appreciation of nature, resistance to institutions, and rejection of rational control. The study concludes that anti-modernism in the film functions both as a critique of modern life and as a reflection of its consequences, showing that complete withdrawal from society may lead to isolation and vulnerability.

This study aimed to determine the effect of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model on students’ activeness in Information and Communication Technology material in Grade X at SMA Negeri 1 Pinogaluman. This research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design involving two groups, namely the control class and the experimental class. The research sample consisted of 30 students, divided equally into 15 students in each group. Data collection was conducted using student activeness observation sheets based on six indicators: listening activities, oral activities, visual activities, emotional activities, writing activities, and mental activities. Data analysis was carried out through normality tests, homogeneity tests, and hypothesis testing using the independent sample t-test with the assistance of SPSS. The results showed that the data were normally distributed and met the requirements for parametric testing. The hypothesis test indicated a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of < 0.05, meaning that there was a significant difference between student activeness in the control class and the experimental class. The average level of student activeness in the control class was 68.8% and categorized as active, while in the experimental class it reached 90.3% and was categorized as very active. These findings indicate that the implementation of the PjBL model had a positive and significant effect on improving student activeness. Therefore, the Project Based Learning model is proven to be effective in enhancing student activeness and can serve as an innovative alternative learning model, particularly in informatics subjects.
