Health education is a crucial aspect of guiding learners about health in a broad range, encompassing physical, mental, and social well-being. Schools, being environments where students are exposed to various hazards, are particularly vulnerable to accidents. First aid education is essential in preventing injuries and ensuring that students are equipped with the necessary skills to respond effectively in emergency situations. This study aims to evaluate the effect of Augmented Reality (AR) based First Aid health education on the knowledge of Youth Red Cross (PMR) members at Titian Teras State Senior High School, Jambi City. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with one pretest-posttest group without a control group. A total of 50 PMR members were involved, divided into an intervention group (n=25) and a control group (n=25). The intervention group received AR-based First Aid health education, while the control group received conventional methods. Data collection was conducted using a knowledge assessment tool, and pre- and post-test analyses were performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. The results showed a significant increase in the intervention group's knowledge. After the intervention, 80% of respondents in the intervention group achieved the "good" category, compared to only 36% in the control group. The Mann-Whitney test confirmed the significant difference between the two groups (p<0.05), indicating that the AR-based First Aid health education was more effective in improving PMR members' knowledge compared to conventional methods. This study concludes that AR-based First Aid health education is more effective in improving PMR members' knowledge compared to conventional methods. The integration of AR technology in health education highlights its potential in enhancing learning outcomes and improving the preparedness of students in responding to emergencies. The findings suggest that AR can be a valuable tool in health education, particularly in first aid training, by providing an immersive and interactive learning experience that enhances both knowledge and skills acquisition.

This study investigates the impact of contextual problem-solving on students' mathematical reasoning abilities, comparing it to traditional problem-solving exercises. The study employs a quasi-experimental design with two groups: an experimental group exposed to contextual problem-solving activities and a control group using conventional methods. The experimental group demonstrated a 24% improvement in their mathematical reasoning abilities compared to the control group. Contextual problem-solving, which integrates real-world problems into the learning process, was found to be more engaging and effective in promoting deeper understanding and application of mathematical concepts. The study highlights the benefits of contextual learning in making abstract mathematical concepts more tangible and relatable to students. The findings suggest that by connecting mathematical knowledge to real-world scenarios, students develop stronger reasoning skills and improve their problem-solving capabilities. Moreover, the study recommends incorporating more contextual problem-solving exercises into curricula and providing teachers with training on how to implement these strategies effectively. It also suggests that future research explore the long-term effects of contextual problem-solving on other learning areas, such as critical thinking and creative problem-solving. This approach not only enhances students' mathematical reasoning but also fosters a more engaging and meaningful learning environment, thus preparing students to apply their mathematical knowledge in real-life situations.

The main objective of this study was to determine the extent to which students' critical thinking skills can be improved through the implementation of a guided inquiry learning model based on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). This study used a quasi-experimental approach with a post-test only control group design. The study population consisted of 5 classes with a total of 190 students. From this population, the researcher took a sample of 68 students through a simple random sampling technique. The sample was then divided into two groups, namely 34 students for the experimental class and 34 students for the control class. The research instrument was a critical thinking skills test consisting of 20 objective, reasoned questions. The research data were analyzed using a t-test. Based on the calculation results, the t-value was 3.792, while the t-table value at a significance level of 0.05 was 2.037. This indicates that Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected. Thus, there is a significant difference between the critical thinking skills of students who participated in learning with a guided inquiry model based on ESD compared to conventional learning. In addition, the improvement in critical thinking skills was also analyzed through the N-Gain calculation. The results showed that the experimental class achieved a 65% improvement, categorized as moderate, while the control class achieved a 59% improvement, also categorized as moderate. These findings indicate that guided inquiry learning integrated with ESD principles provides a more effective way to foster students' critical thinking skills compared to traditional methods. Therefore, ESD-based guided inquiry learning can be an alternative, innovative learning strategy to improve the quality of the learning process in secondary schools.

Most door accesses used in homes still use conventional keys. Where the use of manual keys is still vulnerable to loss or damage and is not very safe to use, because manual keys can be duplicated or duplicated by other people. This certainly feels less practical and flexible. This research aims to help improve door security. With a voice recognition system, only certain people can access it using a certain access code. Researchers used the trial and error method. The factor being tried is the voice recognition V3 module which can read voice recordings. The results of this research can be implemented in the form of a tool, where the system can open and close house doors according to the planned design, namely through voice commands and the designed system can run normally according to the automatic system that has been designed in prototype form. The conclusion from this research is that the voice recognition module is capable of recording sounds up to a distance of 20 cm. In voice recording < 10 cm the module is relatively easier to receive voice commands, in recording > 10 cm and < 15 cm the module is slightly less able to receive voice commands, so that in voice recording at a distance of 15 cm to 20 cm the module is very poor in receiving commands sound well.

The rapid development of technology increases the need for effective and efficient information. Information that is not managed properly loses value, especially when large amounts of data are available, making conventional methods no longer adequate to analyze the potential of the data. Therefore, a system capable of analyzing, summarizing, and extracting data into useful information is required. The Department of Agriculture and Food Security, as an agency that handles food security, agriculture, animal husbandry, animal health, and fisheries, is responsible for supporting the increase in agricultural yields to meet the food needs of the population and encourage economic growth. To achieve this goal, the agency needs to utilize technology to process agricultural data quickly and accurately. The system built using the apriori method can analyze data efficiently and provide recommendations for increasing agricultural yields. Based on the test results, a support value of 9% and a confidence of 68% were obtained, with the rule If the crop is Cassava, then the production yield is 6000-8000 tons.

These findings make an important contribution to the development of functional food products that can be accepted by various groups of people.

A cooperative is a business entity based on the principle of kinship. Cooperatives have the aim of improving the welfare of their members through the activities they carry out. The Binjai City Cooperatives and UMKM Service is a regional apparatus within the Binjai City Government for government affairs in the field of Cooperatives, Small and Medium Enterprises. The Binjai City Cooperatives and UMKM Department always carries out assessments of every cooperative in the city of Binjai in the form of an assessment of the best cooperatives which aims to increase the motivation of cooperative institutions and as an evaluation material for the performance of cooperatives recorded in the City of Binjai. In carrying out the assessment of the best cooperatives carried out by the Binjai City Cooperatives and UMKM Service, it took quite a long time. This is because the data collection and processing process is conventional and simple. To overcome existing problems, a decision support system was created to facilitate the management and calculations of each cooperative. In this research, the method used in the calculation process is WASPAS (Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment). The Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS) method is a method that is able to minimize errors or maximize the assessment to determine the highest and lowest values. The final result of this research is a decision support system that is able to produce decision recommendations in determining the best cooperative at the Binjai City Cooperative and UMKM Department.  

The use of X-ray Thorax (XCR Thorax) in assisting thoracocentesis procedures has some limitations. XCR Thorax only provides a two-dimensional image, which may limit the accuracy in determining the exact location for the puncture. In addition, XCR Thorax cannot detect septation or loculation which may affect the success of the thoracocentesis procedure. Thoracic ultrasonography offers advantages in detecting pleural effusion compared to conventional radiographic methods, but has not been standardized in national guidelines. This study aims to see the difference in the success rate of thoracocentesis between the use of thoracic ultrasound guidance and thoracic photo guidance in patients with clinical tuberculosis at Respira Lung Hospital Yogyakarta. This cross-sectional study used a static group comparison approach to compare the success rate of thoracocentesis between two groups at Respira Lung Hospital Yogyakarta: 30 patients with Thorax ultrasound and Thorax photo guidance (Group A) and 30 patients only with Thorax photo guidance (Group B). With a purposive sampling method and analysis using the chi-square test, this study aims to analyze differences in the success rate of thoracocentesis in real clinical conditions without intervening in existing procedures in the hospital. Thoracocentesis with thorax photo plus thorax ultrasound guidance showed a success rate of 100% compared to 66.67% in procedures with thorax X-ray alone (p < 0.001). The results showed that the use of thoracic ultrasound as a thoracocentesis guide had a higher success rate compared to the use of thoracic photo guidance.
