Social media has become an integral part of students’ lives and is increasingly being used as a means of interactive learning. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of social media use in supporting students’ learning process, by highlighting the benefits, challenges, and solutions that can be applied. The research method used is a qualitative approach with case studies, in-depth interviews, and thematic analysis. The results of the study indicate that social media provides flexibility in accessing learning materials, increases academic engagement, and facilitates discussion and collaboration between students and lecturers. However, there are several challenges, such as distraction, unguaranteed validity of information, lack of structure in learning, and gaps in access to technology. To overcome these challenges, strategies are needed such as good time management, increasing digital literacy, active roles of lecturers in directing learning, and institutional support in increasing access to technology. With the implementation of the right strategy, social media can be an effective tool in supporting interactive learning, improving students’ academic quality, and encouraging educational transformation in the digital era.    

Biogas is a potential renewable energy source to meet energy needs, especially in remote areas that do not have access to electricity. The process of making biogas is carried out through anaerobic fermentation of organic materials such as vegetable waste, livestock manure and agricultural waste. This research aims to design a batch type biodigester that can produce biogas from a mixture of goat manure, chicken manure and vegetable waste. Biodigester is a reactor used to produce biogas. The stirred biodigester aims to mix the substrate evenly in the biodigester and prevent the formation of scum. The biodigester designed has a capacity of 120 liters with a stirring system to increase the efficiency of biogas production. The fermentation process was carried out for 21 days by monitoring parameters such as temperature, pH, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and methane gas concentration (CH4). The results showed that the temperature and pH in the biodigester remained in optimal conditions for the activity of methanogenic microorganisms. The highest CH4 concentration measurement was recorded on day 20 at 60%, which indicates good biogas quality. In addition, the flame test on day 21 produced a blue flame, indicating a high CH4 content. The decrease in CH4 concentration at the end of the study was caused by the exhaustion of organic material. This research contributes to the development of efficient and environmentally friendly biodigester technology to produce biogas as a renewable energy source.

The implementation of science learning in schools not only aims to improve students' academic understanding, but also plays an important role in building religious character. Research shows that the integration of religious values in science learning can strengthen students' belief in religious teachings and increase their positive behavior. For example, Islamic values integrated into science materials at the SD/MI level can encourage students to be more convinced of the existence of Allah and follow His provisions, thus forming a strong religious character. In addition, learning approaches that prioritize routine activities such as praying together and reading the Qur'an before lessons have also proven effective in instilling religious character. Furthermore, the application of learning modules that integrate basic concepts of science with Islamic values, such as those conducted at the University of KH Abdurrahman Wahid Pekalongan, shows that students can better understand the material while internalizing religious values in their daily lives. Other studies also emphasize the importance of character education programs integrated in the curriculum, where religious activities at school, such as congregational prayers and holiday celebrations, contribute significantly to the formation of students' religious character. Thus, well-designed science learning can be an effective means to build students' religious character.

Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease induced by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis and can attack human organs, especially the lungs.
