This study was aimed to describe: (1) the effectiveness of learning with a blended learning model using scientific (2) the effectiveness of scientific approach; and (3) the difference in the effectiveness of learning with a blended learning model using scientific approach and learning using scientific approach in terms of critical thinking, and learning independence of mathematics students in high school. The research type is quasi-experiment. The population was all 11th grade students of SMA in semester II of 2024/2025. The sample was established randomly consisting of class XI MIA 2 as the experiment class and XI MIA 1 as the control class. The data collection method uses research instruments in the form of a Learning Independence Test of 15 multiple choice questions, a Critical Thinking Test of 4 descriptive questions, and a Learning Independence Questionnaire of 20 statement, administered as pretests and posttests. To assess the effectiveness of blended learning with a scientific approach and the scientific approach alone, a one-sample mean vector test was conducted, followed by a one-sample t-test. Differences in effectiveness were analyzed using an independent two-sample mean vector test (T² Hotelling). If analysis revealed significant differences between the two classes, an independent sample t-test for comparison was conducted. The results showed that: (1) learning with blended learning model using scientific approach is effective in terms of critical thinking, and independence of learning mathematics of high school students; (2) learning using scientific approach is effective in terms of critical thinking, and independence of learning mathematics of high school students; and (3) learning with blended learning model using scientific approach is more effective than learning using scientific approach in terms of critical thinking, and independence of learning mathematics of high school students.

This study examines the effect of mindfulness techniques on reducing academic stress and increasing concentration in students. With increasing academic demands, many students experience stress that interferes with the learning process. Mindfulness techniques, which emphasize full awareness, have been shown to be effective in reducing anxiety and improving mental well-being. The experimental method involved two groups of students: one group implemented mindfulness techniques, while the control group received no intervention. Data were collected through questionnaires measuring levels of academic stress and concentration before and after the intervention. The results indicated that the group practicing mindfulness experienced a significant decrease in stress and an increase in concentration compared to the control group. These findings support the use of mindfulness techniques as an effective strategy to help students and recommend their integration into higher education curricula for academic well-being.

The population used as research objects are consumers who buy Mixue products at the Jababeka Clean Market. Data analysis was implemented in the form of a questionnaire using the SPSS application with the tests used being the Validity Test and Reliability Test. Total respondents were 113 people from 15 questions, considering the questionnaire answers which stated Strongly Agree 23%, Agree 46%, Normal 24%, Disagree 5%, Strongly Disagree 1%. The results of the research state that X1 has an effect on Y and is supported by variable X2 which also has an effect on Y.

Insulin resistance is a detrimental globally common condition that is highly related to type 2 DM, as well as several different metabolic diseases. It can be diagnosed mainly, through many different abnormalities, like dyslipidemia or obesity, as well as impaired glucose levels. Many indices have been suggested for diagnosis of the IR, one of the most commonly utilized indices are the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance or the HOMA-IR, and triglyceride glucose index. HOMA and TyG indices, both are commonly applied for being relatively simple, non-costly, and easy to compute, particularly if compared to the gold standard method of the IR diagnosis, which is the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp. Objective: To make a comparison between HOMA-IR and TyG indices in their accuracy in IR diagnosis. Also, to investigate the strength of the relationship of these indices with BMI and lipid parameters. Results: HOMA-IR index had detected 38% IR individuals of the given sample, while TyG index had detected 51%. Though statistically this difference was not considered significant, TyG index has detected 13% more IR cases. Additionally, the relationship of both indices with BMI was shown to be highly positively correlated, though TyG index had shown even stronger correlation, as the P value in TyG was (0.0001), whereas in HOMA-IR was (0.033). Meanwhile, the lipid parameters had shown different results with both indices, where LDL-C was significantly inversely related to HOMA-IR index (P= 0.048), similarly total cholesterol though insignificantly (P=0.163). HDL-C had inverse relationship with HOMA-IR significantly (P= 0.014), and triglyceride had a positive correlation with HOMA yet, was not significant (P= 0.190). Meanwhile, TyG had significantly positive correlation with total cholesterol and triglyceride only, with a P value of (0.0006), and (0.0001) respectively. While the correlation between TyG index and LDL was positive, and TyG and HDL was negative, both insignificantly at a P value of (0.105), and (0.179) respectively. Conclusion: TyG index is more superior than HOMA index in IR diagnosis, and has a stronger positive correlation to the BMI marker. Whereas, the lipid parameters have weak relationship with both IR markers, HOMA, ant TyG indices.

Patented drugs are a type of drug that has just been discovered and has a certain patent period based on its type. This drug is designed to provide convenience through innovations such as practical packaging, better taste, and syrup that is not bitter due to the use of micro particles. Technologies such as slow-release tablets or sugar coatings also reduce side effects in the stomach, making them safer to use. In addition, this innovation can overcome other obstacles, such as avoiding alcohol solvents that are not in accordance with some religious beliefs. On the other hand, generic drugs still meet pharmacopoeial requirements and have gone through a good drug manufacturing process (CPOB), with strict supervision from the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM). This study aims to determine the level of knowledge of the people of Sukorejo Village about patented and generic drugs. The type of research used is descriptive, using a questionnaire as a data collection tool. The sample consisted of 100 people selected through a simple random sampling technique, where each element of the population has an equal chance of being selected. Percentage analysis was used to evaluate the results of the study. The data shows that 49% of respondents have good knowledge of patented and generic drugs, while 23% have sufficient knowledge. These results indicate that the majority of the community already understands the differences between the two types of drugs.
