Each schools have the autonomous right to manage and develop an independent curriculum according to its potential. However, the implementation of the independent learning curriculum is dependent on proper management at the school level, so there may be obstacles faced by schools in managing the independent learning curriculum. The purpose of this study is to investigate the concept and problems, as well as school strategies in managing an independent learning curriculum in laboratory schools. This research was studied qualitatively with a multi-site study design. Data collection was conducted through focus group discussions (FGDs) with semistructured interviews, observations, and documentation studies. Data validity was checked using source triangulation, discussion among fellow researchers, and adequacy of reference materials. Data analysis techniques used constant comparative analysis. The results show that learning activities in the independent curriculum emphasize character education and the achievement of students' happiness in learning, and schools implement differentiated learning and simplify the values contained in P5 through projects and fun learning. This research contributes theoretically and practically, by complementing previous literature and can be a guide for school managers in order to ideally manage an independent curriculum.

Agriculture is an important sector in the national economy, therefore the development priority is placed on development in the economic sector with an emphasis on the agricultural sector. Income in farming activities generally cannot be stable from time to time. The objectives of this study include (1) to determine the relationship between farmer characteristics and farmer income in farmer groups BPP Plumbon District, (2) to determine the relationship between the implementation of organic rice farming systems and farmer income in farmer groups BPP Plumbon District, (3) To determine the relationship between the characteristics of farmers and the implementation of organic rice farming systems with farmers' income in the BPP Farmer Group, Plumbon District. The research design used in this study was a quantitative research with a descriptive survey research technique. The results showed that: (1) there was a moderate relationship between farmer characteristics and farmer income in the BPP Farmer Group in Plumbon District, namely 0,703, (2) there is a moderate relationship between the application of organic rice farming systems and farmers' income in the BPP Farmer Group in Plumbon District, namely 0.643, (3) there is a significant relationship between farmer characteristics and the application of organic farming systems to farmer incomes. Based on the output that tarithmetic X1 = 7.551 and X2 = 5.252> ttable which is 1.998. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sengarat fish (Belodontichthys dinema, Bleeker 1851) is one of the most important freshwater fish. No research has been Relationship of weight length and condition Factors of Sengarat Fish in Kampar River waters. Sampling was conducted in March-October 2022 using gill net fishing gear and bubu in the Kampar watershed in the Buluh Nipis Village area, Siak Hulu District, Kampar Regency, Riau. Data analyzed using Ms Excel 2010 application from the results of fish growth pattern analysis (n = 16) showed a value = 0.0118 and b value = 2.7765, R2 of 0.976. The growth pattern of sengarat fish is negative allometric. The condition factor of sengarat fish is relatively good, with a value of 0.497 and Wr = 129.79. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

β-Thalassemia is genetic disorder characterized by β-globin chain deficiency resulting from mutations in the β-globin coding gene. Both the quantity and quality of blood produced will be impacted by this condition. The distribution of mutation causing thalassemia is vary across ethnic and different regions in Indonesia. This study aims to identify the variant mutation in patients with β-thalassemia at Tidar Hospital as representative samples of Javanese population, the largest ethnicity in Indonesia. Sixty-one blood samples were obtained from blood transfusion-dependent patients with β-thalassemia. Mutation was identified using ARMS and RFLP PCR-based methods, and inconclusive samples were subjected to DNA sequencing. Results showed that the mutation variants were Cd 26/IVSI-5 (G > C) 47.54%, Cd 26/Cd 35 16.30%, Cd 26/IVSI-1 (G > T) 11.47%, Cd 26/IVSI-2 4.91%, IVSI-5 (G > C)/Cd 40 3.27%; 1.63%; IVSI-5 (G > C)/IVSI-1 (G > A) 1.63%; IVSI-5 (G > C)/Cap + 1 1.63%; Cd 26/Cd 15 1.63%; Cd 26/Cd 30 1.63%. We also found three homozygous of IVSI-1 (G > T), IVSI-5 (G > C) 6.55%, and Cd 35 1.63%. The most prevalent alleles would be recommended to be used as part of screening for β-thalassemia in the Javanese ethnicity in Central Java, especially for families affected by thalassemia.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan kelimpahan populasi dan kondisi lingkungan yang sesuai sebagai habitat bagi ikan Tor tambroides (juga dikenal sebagai ikan gadih) di Sungai Kampar Kanan Hulu Provinsi Riau. Penelitian dilakukan dari bulan Agustus hingga Oktober 2022, menggunakan metode Purposive Random Sampling di tiga stasiun: Stasiun 1 yang terletak di Desa Bandur Picak, Stasiun 2 di Desa Siberuang, dan Stasiun 3 di Desa Tanjung. Stasiun-stasiun ini terletak secara administratif di sepanjang bagian hulu Sungai Kampar. Sampel ikan ditangkap menggunakan jaring dan diidentifikasi di laboratorium. Pengamatan langsung dilakukan pada habitat ikan gadih. Parameter kualitas air diukur baik di lapangan maupun di laboratorium. Metode tangkap per unit usaha digunakan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hanya 50 ikan gadih yang tertangkap, terdiri dari 24 jantan, 15 betina, dan 6 yang tidak teridentifikasi. Populasi spesies ikan ini ditemukan sangat jarang. Ikan gadih lebih memilih air dangkal untuk ikan remaja dan air yang lebih dalam untuk ikan dewasa, dan kualitas air ditemukan sesuai untuk kelangsungan hidup ikan gadih. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
