This research was carried out with the aim of finding out the effect of the jurisprudential inquiry learning model on the ability to write editorial texts. The population of this study was all class XII of SMA Negeri 2 Tanjung Morawa, totaling 7 classes. The sample was taken with no more than 40 students per class, so class XII Science 2 had 35 students as the experimental class and class XII Science had 34 students as the control class. The instrument used is a test of the ability to write editorial texts. Data measurements were carried out twice, namely measurements in the experimental class and the control class. From the data processing, it shows that the ability to write editorial texts in class .05, standard deviation 13.15. This can be seen in the normality test, the jurisprudential inquiry learning model is Lcount < Ltable namely 0.205 < 0.337. Then in the conventional learning model Lcount < Ltable, namely 0.192 < 0.319. Because Lcount is smaller than Ltable, the two data above are said to be normally distributed. Likewise, the results of the data homogeneity test are Fcount < Ftable , namely 0.54 < 0.56, so the data comes from a homogeneous population. After testing normality and homogeneity, hypothesis testing was carried out, obtained tcount > ttable  with hypothesis test results of 6.35 and significance a = 0.05 and df = 35+34-2 = 67, so at the 5% level we obtained ttable = 1.99601. Thus it can be concluded that tcount > ttable , namely 6.35 > 1.99601, so the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. This proves that the jurisprudential inquiry learning model is more influential in improving the editorial text writing skills of class XII students at SMA Negeri 2 Tanjung Morawa.

Fractal structures play a crucial role in improving material properties due to their unique self-similar geometries. These geometrical patterns exhibit repetition at multiple scales, which can enhance surface area, strength, and other mechanical characteristics. This study investigates the influence of fractal patterns on the crystal growth and mechanical performance of metallic materials, focusing on strength, toughness, and hardness. Using a combination of computer simulations and laboratory experiments, the research models metal crystal formation under controlled conditions, where fractal characteristics are introduced through diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) and electrodeposition methods. The findings reveal that embedding fractal patterns into the crystal growth process can increase material strength by approximately 20% compared to conventionally structured metals. This improvement is attributed to the efficient stress distribution within the fractal geometry, which minimizes stress concentration points and enhances resistance to fracture. Additionally, materials with fractal-based microstructures exhibit better toughness and deformation resistance, improving durability under mechanical load. The study also examines the underlying mechanisms of these effects, emphasizing the role of fractal-induced microstructural control in optimizing material integrity. These results demonstrate the significant potential of fractal-based material design in engineering stronger, lighter, and more flexible metallic components. The research contributes to the broader understanding of how geometric complexity can be harnessed to develop advanced materials for applications in construction, automotive manufacturing, and flexible electronics, thereby supporting the development of next-generation high-performance materials.
