Abstract:This article discusses the development of philosophy and science, and explains the meaning of philosophy of science and also the direction of development of philosophy of science itself. Philosophy of science is a branch…
of philosophy that discusses the foundations, methods and limitations of science, as well as the relationship between science and reality. As time progresses, science continues to develop rapidly, which then influences the direction of development of the philosophy of science itself. Basically, the philosophy of science only focuses on the question of what science is, and how science can be known correctly. However, as time goes by and there are many advances in the fields of science and technology, philosophy of science is now not only limited to basic theories, but also examines the ethical, social and technological aspects of science. The method used in this research is qualitative methods with the type of library research. Namely to find out how philosophy and science have developed, the meaning of philosophy of science, and how the philosophy of science is directed through books and reading literature related to this material.

Abstract:Cut and fill calculation is an essential stage in open-pit mining activities to determine the volume of soil or rock that must be excavated (cut) and deposited (fill) based on elevation changes between the actual topographic…
phic conditions and the planned mine design. This study aims to analyze the results of cut and fill volume calculations using GEOVIA Surpac software in a coal pit area. The data used include topographic maps obtained from RTK (Real Time Kinematic) surveys. The calculation results show a total cut volume of 805.42 MT and a fill volume of 2.09 MT, with a net volume of 803.33 MT, using a rock density of 1.

Abstract:Blood group examination is a blood grouping system based on the type of antigen. Examination of blood groups with antisera reagents, namely examination of blood groups with antisera reagents obtained from in vitro supernatant…
atant cultures derived from mouse cell immunoglobulin hybridization. Examination of blood type with serum is an examination that uses blood type A as anti-B, blood type B as anti-A, and blood type O as anti-AB. The purpose of this study was to determine the profile of the ABO system blood group examination using antisera reagents and serum slide method. The research method used was descriptive with samples of the ABO system blood group using antisera and serum reagents for 30 respondents using probability sampling technique. The materials used are human blood groups A, B, AB and O and anti-A, anti-B, anti-AB reagents. Data analysis was descriptive in the form of a profile table of the results of the ABO system blood group examination using antisera and serum reagents. The results of the study revealed that the results of blood group A were 7 (23%), blood group B were 7 (23%), blood group AB were 8 (27%), and blood group O were 8 (27%). The results obtained showed that the antisera and serum reagents had differences in the blood group examination results, namely the grade of agglutination produced by the serum was different from that of the antisera. It can be concluded that the results of blood grouping with antisera and serum reagents can be used for blood group examination. However, compared to antisera reagents, the results are better using antisera reagents compared to serum.

ted to help students understand the material and write descriptive essays, thereby improving their skills. This study was conducted at Pangeran Antasari Junior High School in Medan. The research subjects were the 7th-grade Class 2, consisting of 30 students. The study was conducted in two cycles, with each cycle consisting of two sessions. Research data were obtained from (1) observations, (2) interviews, and (3) tests in the form of student assignments (written work) and photographic documentation taken during the activities. The results of the study indicate that the use of the drill method can improve students’ ability to write descriptive essays. This is evidenced by improvements in the learning process, particularly in the learning environment, where students are more focused during instruction. This is evident in the pre-cycle average student score of 66.16; in Cycle I, the average score increased to 73.5, and in Cycle II, it further increased to 82.5. Overall, in Cycle II, all aspects of descriptive writing showed a highly significant improvement. Based on these research results, it can be concluded that the use of the drill method was successful and capable of improving the descriptive writing skills of seventh-grade students in Class VII-2 at Pangeran Antasari Junior High School in Medan.

s, ranging from 85-90%, as well as dependence on unstable imported raw materials. The research method used is quantitative descriptive with purposive sampling techniques on the company's consolidated financial statements. The indicators used to analyse the data include Gross Profit Margin (GPM), Net Profit Margin (NPM), Return on Assets (ROA), and Return on Equity (ROE). In 2022, net profit fell sharply by 57% to RP 27 billion due to production cost pressures. However, in 2024, the company managed to recover with a net profit of RP 489.8 billion. This unique finding shows an increase in Return on Assets (ROA) of 9.10% in 2024 despite a decline in assets. This shows that management has succeeded in eliminating unproductive assets and optimising production efficiency. The effectiveness of cost transformation and the company's operational resilience to market fluctuations are reflected in a Return on Equity (ROE) of 18.61% at the end of the period.
Abstract:This study aims to develop Islamic Religious Education (IRE) teaching materials in the element of Aqidah and Akhlak based on religious moderation for eleventh-grade high school students. The background of this research lies…
ies in the limited availability of teaching materials that systematically integrate religious moderation values, whereas such values are crucial in shaping students’ character to become faithful, virtuous, and tolerant individuals in a pluralistic society. The research method employed is Research and Development (R&D), adopting the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The subjects of the trial involved material experts, media experts, Islamic Education teachers, and grade XI students. The research instruments included validation questionnaires, practicality questionnaires, and learning achievement tests. The collected data were analyzed using both quantitative descriptive and qualitative methods. The results indicate that the developed IRE teaching materials based on religious moderation are highly valid, with an average validity percentage of 89.58%. In terms of practicality, both teachers and students responded positively, categorizing the product as very practical and easy to use in the learning process. Regarding effectiveness, the use of these teaching materials successfully improved students’ learning outcomes, shown by the N-Gain score categorized as moderate, with 100% learning mastery achieved during the field trial. Therefore, this development contributes significantly to providing relevant, innovative, and contextual teaching media. The teaching materials not only facilitate cognitive competency achievement but also instill the values of religious moderation oriented toward strengthening faith, cultivating morality, and fostering tolerance, justice, and balance. This study is expected to serve as an alternative solution for curriculum development in Islamic Religious Education at the secondary level and as a reference for teachers in creating more meaningful learning
