Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases are neurodegenerative conditions that affect the brain, with Alzheimer's causing cognitive and behavioral decline, while Parkinson's leads to motor and non-motor impairments. Both diseases have significant impacts on the health and quality of life of patients, with prevalence increasing in recent years. Although the exact causes of these diseases are still unknown, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is widely used to detect brain activity and serves as one of the diagnostic methods. With technological advancements, intelligent systems in image processing for image classification have been extensively used and have become a popular field due to their ability to replicate human visual capabilities. Image classification is performed using various supervised learning machine learning algorithms based on the shape, texture, and color of the images. This study employs two Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures, ResNet50 and GoogLeNet, to compare the performance of these models in classifying MRI scans of patients with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. The results show that the ResNet50 model outperforms the GoogLeNet model, with parameters set to 100 epochs, a batch size of 128, a learning rate of 0.0001, and the Adam optimizer, achieving an accuracy rate of 90%.

The conventional type of paper that is still widely used by students to support the learning process in schools is printed modules. Even though digitalization such as ebooks is starting to be used by the public, printed modules are still used to simplify the teaching process in the classroom. The types of paper that are generally used do not all use environmentally friendly paper such as paper from palm oil shell waste processing, due to a lack of in-depth knowledge. This research is a qualitative research that uses interview methods with several students from three different skills programs at one of the Bandung City Agricultural Vocational Schools to measure knowledge about environmentally friendly paper. Participants were asked six questions related to the use of paper in schools, understanding of environmentally friendly paper, and knowledge about paper produced from processing palm oil shell waste. The results show that the majority of students do not know clearly about processing waste from palm oil shells into environmentally friendly paper, but the data shows that alternative types of environmentally friendly paper are needed to participate in preserving environmental welfare and improving economic aspects.

This study aims to describe the implementation of differentiation learning as an effort to strengthen the Pancasila Student Profile in the independent curriculum. This research is qualitative description research using library research methods. Using data analysis techniques in the form of reading and recording techniques. The results of this study show that the differentiated approach consists of three aspects, namely content differentiation, process differentiation, and product differentiation. 1) Content differentiation includes what students learn. In this regard, teachers modify the curriculum and teaching materials based on the learning styles and disability proceedings possessed by students. The content of the curriculum is adjusted to the circumstances and abilities of the students. 2) Process differentiation is the way students process and process ideas and information. How students interact with the material and how that interaction becomes a part that then determines student learning choices. Due to the many learning styles and differences in learning style choices presented by students, the class must be modified to accommodate different learning needs. 3) Product differentiation is how students demonstrate what they have learned. Learning products allow teachers to assess what material has been mastered by students and then present the next material. Student learning styles can also determine what student learning outcomes will be shown to the teacher.
