POTENSIAL COMBINATION OF MATOA LEAF EXTRACT (Pometia pinnata) AND MORINGA LEAF EXTRACT (Moringa oleifera) AS ANTIDIABETIC IN ALLOXAN-INDUCED MICE (Mus musculus)
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease whose prevalence continues to increase globally. Plant-based alternative therapy is becoming an increasingly popular option due to its minimal side effects. This study aims to test the potential of a combination of matoa (Pometia pinnata) and Moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaf extracts as an antidiabetic in alloxan-induced male mice (Mus musculus). The study was conducted experimentally with five treatment groups, including negative control, positive control, and three groups of extract combination doses (100, 225, and 300 mg/kg BB). Phytochemical tests showed the content of active compounds alkaloids, flavonoids, and steroids in the combination of extracts. Blood glucose level test results showed that the combination dose of 300 mg/kg BB (Dose III) was able to reduce blood glucose levels significantly and had comparable effectiveness with glibenclamide as a standard drug. Statistical analysis (One Way ANOVA and Post Hoc Bonferroni) confirmed that Dose III showed a significant difference compared to the lower dose, and was not significantly different from the positive control.Beyond these results, this study contributes new insights by highlighting the synergistic effect of combining two medicinal plants, providing a scientific basis for the development of standardized herbal formulations as potential alternatives in diabetes management.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (ESD) IMPLEMENTATION IN CHEMISTRY EDUCATION: A LITERATURE REVIEW
This study presents a systematic literature review of the implementation of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in chemistry education between 2012 and 2025. A total of 15 articles were analyzed, encompassing both international and national studies, with the aim of mapping theoretical models, instructional innovations, and student outcomes within the framework of ESD. The findings reveal that research in this area can be categorized into two major contributions: conceptual contributions, which focus on developing models, frameworks, and didactic theories, and practical contributions, which emphasize instructional media, laboratory modules, contextual teaching tools, and project-based learning strategies. Practical contributions dominate the literature, demonstrating significant impacts on students’ chemistry literacy, creativity, and sustainability awareness. However, competencies such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and action competence remain underexplored and insufficiently assessed. The review further highlights that while teachers and pre-service teachers generally show positive attitudes toward ESD, their understanding often remains limited to environmental dimensions, underscoring the need for more comprehensive professional preparation. These findings suggest that future research should adopt a more balanced agenda that integrates conceptual development with practical innovations, while systematically fostering a broader spectrum of sustainability competencies. In conclusion, chemistry education holds substantial potential to contribute not only to the mastery of scientific knowledge but also to the cultivation of responsible citizens equipped to address the complex challenges of sustainable development.
UTILIZATION OF INDUCTION HEATING IN ELECTRIC STOVE APPLICATION
Electric stoves with the concept of electromagnetic induction use coils to generate magnetic fluxes that can conduct heat. This study aimed to determine how induction-based electric stoves work and the effect of working coil variants on the electromotive force of induction and the temperature of water when cooked. The research method used was an experiment with data analysis using simple and multiple linear regression. The results showed that induction-based electric stoves utilize eddy currents that arise when a ferromagnetic conductor material is placed in the working coil, thus producing heat for cooking. The effect of the working coil on the electromotive force of induction and the temperature of water when cooking uses three working coil variants, namely enamel wire with a diameter of 0.5 mm with a length of 80 m, a diameter of 0.5 with a length of 112 m and a diameter of 1.5 mm with a length of 8 m. After testing, the results showed that the coil variant with a diameter of 0.5 mm and a length of 80 m had a strong influence on the induced emf, and the coil variant with a diameter of 0.5 and a length of 112 m had a substantial impact on the temperature of the water when cooked. This study implies that optimizing the coil configuration, such as using a 0.5 mm diameter enamel wire with a length of 80 m for the induced electromotive force and a 0.5 mm diameter wire with a length of 112 m to increase the water temperature, can improve the efficiency and performance of induction-based electric stoves.

MEMBRANE FILTRATION TECHNOLOGY FOR WATER TREATMENT IN TERMS OF MEMBRANE PERFORMANCE, ENERGY CONSUMPTION, AND COST ASPECTS: A REVIEW
The problems of water quality and its management are a global issue that must be resolved. Technology of membrane filtration shows the good potential of water treatment to improve water quality, eliminate harmful contaminants and efficiently restore nutrients. This article aims to give a comprehensive review of membrane filtration, consists of membrane filtration performance to remove contaminants, energy consumption, cost aspects and strategies of antifouling. Technologies in membrane filtration are microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF) and (reverse osmosis) RO. The results of this study indicate that, MF/UF system can effectively remove bacteria and be used as a pre-treatment before the NF/RO process. NF/RO system can remove contaminants higher than MF/UF. It can remove almost all contaminants, ions, heavy metals, viruses and pharmaceutical compounds (PhAC). However, the system is more susceptible to membrane fouling, but these problems can be solved with adequate pre-treatment. Water treatment with NF and RO offers a good alternative because its operation makes it possible to use lower energy consumption compared to conventional water treatment. Based on the cost aspect, if the virus and ion contamination are not the main target in the filtering and not for consumption, the MF/UF system is sufficient and will be more economical than using NF/RO. The finding of this study can provide insight into the effectiveness of membrane filtration technology in water treatment. Future research can develop membrane filtration technology so that it has good performance, low energy consumption and low cost.

The population of this research is all grade XI students in one of the State High Schools in Bandung City. The sample of this research was obtained using the convenience sampling technique, obtained from class XI-2 as the experimental class and class XI-4 as the control class. The instrument used to measure cognitive ability is multiple-choice test questions with 13 questions, while to measure critical thinking skills, multiple-choice test questions with 7 questions are used. The data analysis technique uses N-Gain, effect size, linear regression, and correlation analysis. The results of the research showed that there was a difference in improving cognitive ability and critical thinking skills. For the experimental class, N-Gain was obtained of 0.70 and 0.68, respectively, which was a greater increase compared to the control class, namely with N-Gain values of 0.44 and 0.36, respectively. The metacognition-based discovery learning model has an impact on improving students' cognitive abilities and critical thinking skills with effect size values of 1.83 and 1.85 respectively with high categories. Cognitive ability is quite influential in improving critical thinking skills with a correlation coefficient of 0.40.

ASSESSING INVENTIVE THINKING USING RASCH MODEL
This study aims to analyze the inventive thinking of students in the chemistry education study program at Sriwijaya University using Rasch modeling. This study is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional study design. This study was conducted at the Chemistry Education Study Program, FKIP Sriwijaya University. The subjects of this study consisted of 159 students from 3 active student classes of the chemistry education study program in 2024. The results of the study were analyzed using the RASCH Model with the help of the WINSTEP application, namely 1) Validity analysis (Person and item fit) shows that the Person/item fit Mean Square (MNSQ) for the inventive thinking instrument is in the range of 0.5-1.5 so that it is included in the category of "productive to use," while the reliability analysis (Person and item reliability) shows the results that r> 0.91 so that it is reliable; 2) Inventive thinking analysis (Person measure analysis) shows the results that there are 135 participants who fit/meet the Rasch modeling criteria; 3) Analysis of data bias between student generations (DIF analysis) shows that DIF only occurs in item KV3, where the probability is <0.05. This indicates that item KV3 is detrimental or beneficial to a particular generation; 4) Analysis of the science-related attitude and inventive thinking categories (Logit value of person) shows that 4.06% are in the high category, 94.3% are in the medium category, and 1.64% are in the low category; 5) Analysis of differences in inventive thinking between generations (Independent t-test) shows that the calculated t is smaller than the t table value, so there is no significant difference. The results of this study can conclude that there is no significant difference in inventive thinking ability between student levels, and most students are in the medium category.
THE VALIDITY AND FEASIBILITY OF A HANDBOOK ON THE PROPERTIES OF LIGHT AND REFLECTIONS INTEGRATED WITH 1-SIDE HOLOGRAM LEARNING MEDIA FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS
Based on the needs analysis conducted by the researcher, we found that 71% of students had difficulty with the properties of light and reflection material, and 75% of students preferred innovative books integrated with learning media over conventional books that were often used by teachers. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a handbook on the properties of light and reflection, which is integrated with 1-side hologram media. The purpose of this study was to develop and analyze the level of validity and feasibility of this handbook. The method used to develop the handbook is the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate). To obtain the validity and feasibility, the instruments were developed and distributed to expert validators, teachers, and students. We succeeded develop the handbook and it was declared valid with a percentage of 81.5% and 95.2% from the material and media aspects. This product was also declared feasible with a percentage of 81.4% and 92.9% according to students and teachers. Therefore, these results indicate that the handbook on the properties of light and reflection integrated with 1-side hologram media has been declared valid and feasible to use in middle school students.
