This study aims to determine the feasibility of interactive multimedia storyboard of Smart Apps Creator (SAC) based on scientific literacy on transfer energy material. Feasibility is described in terms of content, construction, understanding, and multimedia aspects. This research is research and development (R&D) based on understanding by design framework to design learning media. This design is a backward design focused on learning goals as a result of instruction before plan for learning activities and teaching method. The research instrument is a validation sheet that is used to assess the feasibility of the storyboard.Validation sheets were given to 3 experts in science education, multimedia, and have doctoral degrees. The results showed that the SAC interactive multimedia storyboard developed was categorized as valid and very valid because the results of the validator’s assessment reached a value of more than 3. It can be concluded that the developed storyboard is suitable for making the interactive multimedia by using SAC application on the topic of interaction of living things.

Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) in children, is still an important issue throughout the world especially in developing countries, because it is the largest contributor to the increased morbidity and mortality in children under age five years (WHO, 1999; Black 2003). Limited knowledge about the pathogenesis of kwashiorkor, have consequences slow progress in the development of treatment or prevention strategies during the last decade. The objective was to study the role of free radicals in children with malnutrition. All patients with children (ages 1 month - 14 years) that MRS in Child Inpatient at Dr. Soetomo and willing to participate in this study, was examined for anthropometry, clinical examination and laboratory. Investigation aims to determine the value of the anthropometry zscores of weight / age, height for age, weight / height, BMI and percentage of ideal body weight, so that nutritional status can be determined. This study revealed that concentrations of NO in children with malnutrition are 1.5 times higher than control group (children with good nutrition). Concentration of NO at higher kwashiorkor when compared with the control group (children with good nutrition), but did not differ significantly when compared with marasmic. Besides, there were no significant correlation between high levels of NO in children with kwashiorkor degree of edema. There were no significant correlation between high levels of child malnutrition NO with duration of treatment in hospital. Also, there was a decrease in NO concentration when there is clinical improvement, but this decrease was not significant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
