S, Muhammad Ilham, Putri, Arum Kusuma, Dewi, Yulia Ratna
Abstract: Laboratory testing plays a crucial role in supporting patient diagnosis and monitoring; therefore, accurate and precise results are essential through the implementation of quality control (QC). Potassium level testing is… one of the key parameters requiring robust quality control because it is closely linked to patients’ clinical conditions. This study aims to analyze the implementation of QC in potassium level testing using the EasyLyte device at the Kasih Ibu Hospital Laboratory in Surakarta. The research method used was quantitative descriptive with an observational approach using secondary data from QC results for the period from September to November 2025. Analysis was performed by calculating the mean, standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation (CV), and evaluating the Westgard rules. The results showed that the CV values for normal and abnormal controls were within acceptable limits (≤5%), and no violations of any Westgard rules were found. This indicates that the test results have good precision and there are no deviations, either random or systematic. Overall, the analytical system is in control and the instrument performance is stable. Thus, potassium testing using the EasyLyte instrument meets quality requirements and is suitable for use in laboratory services, while still requiring QC monitoring as well as routine maintenance and calibration.

This research subjects were students of class IX F as the experimental class and class IX B as the control class. Data were collected through scientific literacy test instrument, learning implementation observation sheets, and student response questionnaires. The test data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test, effect size calculation, and N-Gain, while the data from the observation of learning implementation and student response questionnaires were analyzed descriptively using quantitative methods. The results showed that there was a significant difference in scientific literacy between the experimental class and the control class with an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of <0,001. The effect size calculation obtained a value of , categorized as a large effect, indicating a very strong influence. The improvement in scientific literacy in the experimental class was higher with an average N-Gain of 0,927 (high category) compared to the control class with 0,783 (high category). The level of scientific literacy also increased from level 2 in the pretest to level 6 in the experimental class and level 5 in the control class in the posttest. These results were supported by the implementation of learning in both classes, which was categorized as very good, and student responses that showed very good criteria with a higher percentage in the experimental class. Based on these findings, the Guided Inquiry Interactive Reinforcement learning model is proven to be more effective in improving junior high school students’ scientific literacy. This learning model is recommended to be applied to science topics that have contextual characteristics in order to enhance students’ scientific literacy.

Farida, Ulfa Jamilatul, Ayu, Navirta
Abstract: Inequality is a condition of inequity that results in a wide poverty gap in a country. In the future, challenges will arise due to inequality in wealth and prosperity, including in Indonesia. The Islamic economy is a system&#8230; tem built on the principles of Islamic law and emphasises that the state is responsible for meeting the needs and welfare of its people. This paper uses qualitative methods and a retrospective approach to reveal how food issues are addressed in the construction of the Islamic economic system in Indonesia. Sharia-based food security is imbued with the main characteristics of Islamic economics, namely good and halal muamalah (transactions). Therefore, to achieve this, it is important to develop an Indonesian Islamic economic master plan based on the main indicator of economic independence in food self-sufficiency as an effort to realise national food security. Indonesia's Islamic economy is growing rapidly, and ideally, the construction of economic independence in the context of realising sharia-based food security should be a priority in the development of Indonesia's Islamic economic master plan based on the main indicator of economic independence in food self-sufficiency as an effort to realise national food security.

Ayu Yarmayani
Abstract: Calculus of Multiple Variables is a core course in the Mathematics Education study program and plays a crucial role in developing students advanced mathematical thinking skills. Success in this course relies heavily on mastery&#8230; astery of the prerequisite material, particularly the concepts of derivatives and integrals of functions of one variable. Therefore, understanding mathematical concepts is a fundamental aspect that determines students’ ability to understand the interrelationships between topics and solve problems systematically and logically. This study aims to describe students' conceptual understanding of multivariable calculus. The approach used is a descriptive approach with a purposive sampling technique, namely selecting research subjects based on certain criteria in the form of the highest and lowest levels of mathematical concept understanding. The results of the study indicate that students conceptual understanding varies across different materials. In the partial derivative material, students were not yet fully able to accurately represent the solution concept, especially in applying the rules for derivatives of exponential functions, so the results obtained did not conform to mathematical principles. These errors are conceptual in nature and indicate a weak grasp of certain basic concepts. However, in the material on derivatives of products of two functions and triple integrals, students demonstrated goog conceptual understanding. They were able to select, use, and apply solution procedures appropriately and systematically. This finding indicates that despite weaknesses in certain concepts, students still possess quite good procedural and conceptual abilities in the context of other problems in polynomial calculus.
