SIPAKATAU: SINERGI PANGAN LOKAL DAN AKTIVITAS FISIK UNTUK MENCEGAH PENYAKIT TIDAK MENULAR

Asikin, Hijrah, Sirajuddin, Ihsan, Fitriah
Abstract: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) remain a major health problem in Biringkanaya District, Makassar City, with high rates of obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol, and metabolic disorders. These problems are influenced by&#8230; y an unbalanced diet, low consumption of local foods, and a lack of physical activity. The SIPAKATAU (Synergy of Local Food and Physical Activity) programme was designed to address these issues through nutritional education, my plate demonstrations, physical activity, and the use of locally sourced, easily accessible food to the community. The activities were carried out over a month in Paccerakkang and Berua villages, involving 24 participants, health cadres, and the Paccerakkang community health centre. The intervention included pre-tests, interactive education, hands-on practice, physical activity monitoring, and health checks before and after the activities. The results showed an increase in knowledge from 50% to 75% in the good category, increased implementation of My Plate, and 75% of participants had sufficient physical activity. Health indicators showed improvement, particularly in cholesterol (normal levels increased from 1 to 7 individuals) and uric acid (100% normal). Blood sugar levels showed improvement, while blood pressure and nutritional status required longer-term intervention. The SIPAKATAU programme proved effective in improving community nutrition and health behaviours and is recommended as a model for community-based NCD prevention.

Abstract: The aim of this research was to investigate: (1) the application of the Community Language Learning (CLL) model on students’ speaking competence, (2) the students’ speaking competence before and after the implementation&#8230; ion of the CLL model, and (3) whether there is a significant effect of the CLL model on students’ speaking competence.  The population of this study consisted of 248 tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 5 Padangsidimpuan. Using systematic sampling, a total of 35 students were selected as the sample. This research employed an experimental method. Data were collected through observation and speaking tests, and the results were analyzed using a paired-sample t-test. The findings revealed that the application of the CLL model on students’ speaking ability scored 3.6, categorized as “Very Good”. The students’ mean speaking score before the implementation of CLL was 78.51 (“Good”), which increased to 83.42 (“Very Good”) after the treatment. The t-test calculation yielded a t-value of 7.15, which exceeds the critical t-value of 2.03 at a 5% significance level (df = 35). Therefore, it is concluded that there is a statistically significant effect of the Community Language Learning model on students’ speaking competence among tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 5 Padangsidimpuan.

GENEALOGY OF THE THOUGHT OF MAQĀṢID Al-SYĀṬIBῙ: AN INTERTEXT STUDY OF THE BOOK AL-MUWĀFAQĀT

Sulaiman, Akhmad
Abstract: This article examines the genealogy of al-Syāṭibī’s maqāṣid thought in al-Muwāfaqāt, focusing on its intertextual roots and later influence in contemporary Islamic legal thought. Using qualitative library research and intertextual&#8230; arch and intertextual analysis, it reads al-Muwāfaqāt not as an isolated text, but as part of a broader network of uṣūl al-fiqh traditions before and after al-Syāṭibī. The study argues that al-Syāṭibī’s maqāṣid theory was not entirely new, but represented a systematic development and epistemological reconstruction of earlier ideas, especially al-Ghazālī’s conception of maṣlaḥah mursalah. Al-Syāṭibī’s major contribution lies in transforming maṣlaḥah mursalah from a subsidiary legal proof into a foundational principle of Islamic legal reasoning. The article also shows that the Mālikī intellectual milieu of Granada, along with rational elements introduced through Mu‘tazilite theology and philosophy, contributed to the formation of his thought. After a long period of dormancy, al-Syāṭibī’s maqāṣid thought was revived through the publication of al-Muwāfaqāt in Tunisia and later developed by Ibn ‘Āshūr, contemporary uṣūl scholars, and Qur’anic hermeneutical thinkers such as Abdullah Saeed.

Abstract: This study aimed to examine the effect of the group résumé method on tenth-grade students’ ability to write recount texts at SMA Negeri 6 Padangsidimpuan. Specific objectives were to describe students’ writing ability before&#8230; ity before and after implementing the group résumé method and to determine whether the method produced a significant improvement. The population consisted of 124 tenth-grade students, and a systematic sampling procedure yielded a sample of 27 students. The study used an experimental design; data were collected with observation sheets and writing tests. The mean score after applying the group résumé method was 3.5, which falls into the “Very Good” category according to the study’s scoring criteria. A t-test was used to analyze the results: tcomputed = 6.73, while ttable = 2.06. Because ttest> ttable, the findings indicate that the group résumé method had a statistically significant positive effect on students’ recount writing ability.

Abstract: This study investigated the effectiveness of the Complete‑Sentence Model in enhancing paragraph‑writing ability among ninth‑grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Sibabangun. Specifically, it aimed to (1) describe the implementation&#8230; ementation of the Complete‑Sentence Model in teaching paragraph writing, (2) measure students’ paragraph‑writing ability before and after the intervention, and (3) determine whether the model produced a statistically significant improvement. A pre‑experimental one‑group pretest–posttest design was employed. The population was all Grade IX students (N = 84); a purposive sample of 29 students from class IX C participated. Data were collected via observation checklists and writing tests. Findings show that implementation quality was rated as good (mean = 3.4). Students’ mean writing score improved markedly from 39 (pretest; fail) to 75 (posttest; good). A paired t‑test confirmed the improvement was statistically significant (t = 11.78 > tcritical = 2.05), leading to acceptance of the hypothesis. The results indicate that the Complete‑Sentence Model is an effective instructional strategy for improving paragraph‑writing ability among ninth‑grade students at the study site.
