Heart failure is a pathophysiological condition where the heart's function as a pump is no longer able to meet the need for blood throughout the body for tissue metabolism (Price, 2015). This situation causes a decrease in cardiac output which can cause comfort problems based on clinical manifestations such as tightness, pain, heart palpitations, a feeling of coldness in the peripheral area, even swelling, muscle stiffness, numbness, and other subjective feelings felt by the patient himself. is defined as a disturbance of comfort because it is difficult for someone to determine the feeling they are experiencing so that the use of the word comfort is more appropriate to describe the feelings experienced by the patient so it is appropriate that in this condition there is a disturbance of comfort in the patient (Potter & Perry, 2014). The aim of this study was to determine the effect of hydro-aromatherapy on comfort in Heart Failure patients. This research method is a quasi-experimental pre test and post test with two groups, namely the intervention and control groups. Research data collection was carried out during September 2023 at the Integrated Heart Center (PJT) RSUP.H. Adam Malik Medan. The number of respondents with a diagnosis of CHF that met the study inclusion and exclusion criteria was 32 patients. In the intervention group, they were given a warm water foot soak mixed with aromatherapy oil, while in the control group they only soaked their feet in warm water. Measurement of comfort level uses the "daisy comfort scale" or the numerical daisy comfort intensity scale (Kolcaba, 2000). The results of this study showed that there was a significant difference in effect on increasing comfort levels (p<0.005) in the intervention group by soaking feet in warm water mixed with aromatherapy oil (p=0.000). Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that soaking feet in warm water mixed with aromatherapy oils in heart failure patients can increase comfort.

Apple is a fruit that turn brown quickly after being cut. One method to maintain the quality of apples cut is coating the fresh-cut apples with an edible coating. Ediblei coatingi is a thini ilayer that can bei eaten and can keep the iquality ofi the icoated material. Thei study aimed toi determinei the effectiveness of edible coating aloe vera (Aloe vera chinensis L.) in inhibit enzymatic browning reaction. The designii wasi usiing icompletely irandomized idesign. The first factor was the citrus species (Citrus aurantifolia, Citrus hystrix DC, Citrus amblycarpa) iand the secondi factori was thei istorage itime (0, 3, 6 day). Edible coating applied to fresh-cut apples and tested for moisture content, total dissolved solids, weight loss, color, overall appearance, vitamin C and total plate count. Thei resultsi ishowed that aloe vera edible coating with citrus extract was not effective in inhibiting the enzymatic reaction of sliced apples. The type of citrus and storage time was affect the effectiveness of aloe vera edible coating. Citrus amblycarpa extract has a lower water content reduction effect with a water content of 54.51% on the 6th day of storage time and has an effect on the total plate count, that Citrus amblycarpa extract has decreased total plate count in day 6th. Citrus aurantifolia extract gives the effect of maintaining brightness compared to other types of citrus, with a brightness value of 58,290 on the 6th day. The type of citrus has no effect on weight loss, total dissolved solids, overall appearance. The length of storage has an effect on the effectiveness of aloe vera edible coating, the longer it is stored, the apples cut will decrease in quality.

This research was conducted at MTsN 1 Kota Payakumbuh based on several problems that the author found in class VIII MTsN 1 Kota Payakumbuh. This study was motivated by the lack of variety in the learning model applied in class, so that students were less active and felt bored in participating in the learning process, learning outcomes were less than optimal, and did not match what was expected. This research aims to find out how fiqh learning is implemented using the discovery learning model and the effectiveness of implementing the discovery learning model on the fiqh learning outcomes of class VIII students at MTsN 1 Kota Payakumbuh. This research is quantitative experimental research using a quasi-experimental approach. This research is located at MTsN 1 Kota Payakumbuh. The sample in this study consisted of two classes, namely the control class and the experimental class, with sampling using random sampling techniques. The instruments used in this research were observation, learning outcomes tests, and documentation. Based on research results from the N-Gain Score test results, it can be seen that the average score for the experimental class using the discovery learning model is 63.3982 or 63%, which is in the quite effective category. Meanwhile, for the control class whose learning was through lectures, an average of 24.0655 or 24% was obtained, which was included in the ineffective category. This means that there are significant differences in student learning outcomes between classes that use the discovery learning model and classes that do not use the discovery learning model. So, it can be concluded that there is effectiveness in applying the discovery learning model to the Fiqh learning outcomes of Class VIII students at MTsN 1 Kota Payakumbuh.
