Both forms of evaluation have proven to be very effective, based on teacher observations and feedback. Although not all aspects were followed up explicitly, the assessment mechanisms applied reflect the principles of modern evaluation that are adaptive, fair, and competency-based. It can thus be concluded that the evaluation is running very effectively at 88.88%, and the evaluation implementation at SMK N 6 Padang not only succeeded in measuring student achievement but also became an instrument to strengthen the quality of learning relevant to the demands of industry and the developments in 21st-century education.

Cancer is a chronic disease that poses a major challenge to global health, with increasing mortality rates. Although conventional chemotherapy has been the mainstay of treatment, this approach has limitations, including non-selectivity leading to severe side effects. Therefore, the development of longer-term cancer therapies, such as targeted therapy and immunotherapy, is of great importance. Medicinal chemistry plays a role in the discovery of bioactive compounds, including xanthones from Garcinia mangostana, which exhibit anticancer activity. This article reviews the contribution of medicinal chemistry to cancer therapy through the analysis of molecular signaling pathways and ligand-target interactions, as well as the use of computational techniques in drug design. With this approach, it is expected to improve the effectiveness of therapy and the quality of life of cancer patients.

The postpartum period is a critical time for both the mother and newborn, where healthcare is essential to avoid the risk of mortality. This study aims to analyze the behavior of postpartum mothers and Acehnese families in postpartum care at the Beutong Health Center, Nagan Raya Regency in 2024. A quantitative research method with a descriptive design was used, and the sampling technique applied was total sampling, with a population of 40 postpartum mothers. Data collection was carried out through interviews using a questionnaire. The results showed that 77.8% of mothers and families were aware of the nutrition needed for postpartum mothers, 58.3% understood the process of uterine involution, and 100% of postpartum mothers knew daily activities to accelerate recovery. The family's supportive attitude towards postpartum care was evident in their dietary recommendations, such as providing vegetables (83.3%) and fish (80.5%), forbidding the mother from leaving the house (100%), and administering algae (88.9%). However, 30.6% of postpartum mothers did not consume vegetables regularly. These findings highlight the importance of improving family understanding and support in postpartum care to accelerate the recovery of mothers and babies. The implication of this research is expected to improve postpartum care programs at Beutong Health Center.

Technological advancements in the Society 5.0 era have transformed the economic landscape, including taxation mechanisms. This study focuses on the role and responsibilities of digital platforms in tax imposition in Indonesia, governed by various regulations such as the Harmonized Tax Law (UU HPP) and Electronic Information and Transaction Law (UU ITE). The study finds that while digital platforms are central to the digital economy, existing regulations have not fully addressed the complexity of their operations, particularly in the context of taxation. Using a normative juridical approach, this research examines key challenges such as transaction anonymity, taxation disparities between conventional and digital companies, and tax avoidance by multinational digital platforms. On the other hand, the Indonesian government has initiated adaptation efforts by imposing Value-Added Tax (VAT) on digital trade, although its implementation still faces technical and administrative barriers. The study concludes that Indonesia's tax regulations need reforms to better accommodate the dynamics of the digital economy, including implementing fair and legally certain taxes for digital platforms. Recommendations include strengthening oversight, enhancing international collaboration, and utilizing technology to improve transparency and efficiency in the tax system. This research aims to contribute to the government, regulators, and business actors in creating an inclusive and sustainable digital economic ecosystem.

Hematoxylin-eosin staining is a crucial technique used in histopathology to differentiate tissue components. One of the steps in this staining is changing the color of the nucleus, which was previously reddish due to the acid solution, to bluish; this step is known as blueing. The bluing agent, lithium carbonate, is commonly used in laboratories but has side effects and low availability. Sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda, can be used as an alternative due to its optimal pH, lower toxicity, and availability. This study aims to find out whether baking soda is as effective as lithium carbonate when used as a blueing agent for hematoxylin-eosin staining. The study design used was a true experimental post-test only control group design with a sample size of 32 preparations. Results of preparations using baking soda microscopically had good color uniformity, the nucleus was visible, the cytoplasm was clear, so the boundaries between cells were visible, and no cell lysis was found. In percentage terms, 14 preparations received a score of two (87.5%), two preparations received a score of three (12.5%), followed by a P value of 0.051 after carrying out the Fisher's exact test in bivariate analysis. Based on the results, baking soda is as effective as lithium carbonate, so it can be used as an alternative to bluing agent of hematoxylin-eosin staining.
