Reproduction of Tolerance Habitus in High School Students in the VUCA Era (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity)

The progress of Industry 4.0 has had both positive and negative impacts. One of the impacts that can be felt by today's teenagers is a lack of character development. Character cultivation is carried out not only in the family environment, but can also be done in the school environment. School is an arena for cultivating character values ​​for its students. One of the most highlighted character cultivation in the current era is the cultivation of the character of tolerance between religious communities. Departing from these problems, this research aims to discuss the habitus of tolerance in schools in the VUCA Era (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity), especially for students who are Generation Z. The method used in this research is qualitative by in-depth interviews with school students and conducting Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with student representatives at the Surakarta Ex-Karisidenan. The results of this research show that the UCA Era (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) has an impact on the process of reproducing the habitus of tolerance in schools. This is because digital processes in the VUCA Era (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) tend to strengthen polarization and increase disagreement between different groups. When information disseminated via social media or other online platforms tends to mislead or oversimplify the complexity of issues, this can result in stigma, stereotypes, and prejudice against certain groups.

Real-time monitoring by interferometric light microscopy of phage suspensions for personalised phage therapy

Abstract Phage therapy uses viruses (phages) against antibiotic resistance. Tailoring treatments to specific patient strains requires stocks of various highly concentrated purified phages. It, therefore, faces challenges: titration duration and specificity to a phage/bacteria couple; purification affecting stability; and highly concentrated suspensions tending to aggregate. To address these challenges, interferometric light microscopy (ILM), characterising particles (size, concentration, and visual homogeneity) within minutes, was applied herein to anti-Staphylococcus aureus myovirus phage suspensions. Particle concentration was linearly correlated with phage infectious titre (R2 > 0.97, slope: 3 particles/plaque forming units (PFU)) at various degrees of purification, allowing to approximate the infectious titre for suspensions ≥ 3 × 108 PFU/mL, thereby encompassing most therapeutic doses. Purification narrowed and homogenised particle distribution while maintaining therapeutic concentrations. When compared to dynamic light scattering, electrophoretic mobility, and UV/Visible-spectroscopy, ILM best detected aggregates according to our homemade scoring. Although ILM has certain limitations, such as the inability to detect podoviruses (hydrodynamic diameter < 80 nm), or to measure particles in low-concentrated suspensions (< 108 particles/mL), the present proof-of-concept positions this technique as a valuable quality control tool, as a complement to titration rather than a replacement for this technique, for phage suspensions, paving the way for further investigations.

Development Of Hindu Character Values Education For Early Childhood

In Hindu teachings, there is a wealth of universal character values that remain relevant to contemporary character education. Instilling Hindu character values should ideally begin in early childhood to lay a solid foundation for ethical and moral development. This study aims to analyze methods for developing Hindu character values in early childhood, focusing on three key principles: Tri Parartha, Tri Kaya Parisudha, and Tat Twam Asi. Using a library research method, data for this study was collected from journals, books, and other literature relevant to Hindu ethics and early childhood education. The research process involved setting objectives, gathering and selecting literature, reviewing content, analyzing data, synthesizing findings, and drawing conclusions. The results indicate that the development of Hindu character values in early childhood requires a multi-faceted approach that considers the unique developmental stages of children. Parental involvement is critical, serving as both facilitators and role models in imparting these values. Key methods include modeling ethical behavior in daily life (Tri Kaya Parisudha), fostering empathy and interconnectedness through the principle of Tat Twam Asi, and integrating communal values (Tri Parartha) into family and social interactions. Additionally, literacy activities and positive reinforcement play vital roles in embedding these teachings effectively. In conclusion, cultivating Hindu character values in early childhood not only nurtures ethical behavior but also aligns with the broader goals of character education. This approach emphasizes the importance of synergy between parents, educators, and cultural practices to ensure children internalize and live these values in their formative years.

STUDY OF EXPRESSING OF OIL-CONTAINING RAW MATERIALS ON A SCREW PRESS

The object of the research is the technological process of pressing oil from oil-containing raw materials with a laboratory screw oil press OR-600M. An analysis of scientific and technical information on obtaining oil by mechanical pressing was carried out. Vegetable oil is a food product that is in great demand among people. Unrefined cold-pressed first-pressed oils were obtained from ten types of oilseeds: sunflower, sesame, peanut, mustard, pumpkin, rye, flax, hemp, rapeseed, corn. The oils obtained by the cold pressing method are characterized by low peroxide and acid values and are suitable for food consumption while preserving their valuable quality. It was analyzed that the oil content of the studied raw materials is at least 12 % for corn germs, and the maximum oil yield is 54 % for sunflower. The productivity of the screw oil press was determined experimentally and the minimum productivity of the press was established, which is 401 g/h for corn germs, and the maximum productivity for sunflower is 1522 g/h. The quantitative content of oil in oil-containing raw materials was calculated and determined: the minimum yield of oil is 10,12 % for corn germs, the maximum yield of oil is 50,74 % for sunflower. It was also found that with an increase in the productivity of the screw press, the output of oil increases. The main features of using the press are characterized, including the simplicity of the technological equipment, low energy consumption of the technological process of pressing, requirements for a small area of use. The ratio of fatty acids in the studied oils was substantiated and it was found that the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids, the consumption of which contributes to strengthening human health, prevails. The obtained results of the research of the range of oil raw materials on the screw press are expedient to use in the production technology of vegetable oils of increased biological value, dietary supplements and cosmetics.

Implementasi Pendidikan Karakter Melalui Program Tahlil for Kid di MI Tarbiyatul Wathan Kraksaan Probolinggo

Abstract: This study aims to examine the implementation of the Tahlil for Kids program as a medium for character education at MI Tarbiyatul Wathan Kraksaan Probolinggo. This program is designed to instill core values such as responsibility, discipline, empathy, and respect through the practice of tahlil, adapted to suit young students' understanding. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and documentation. Findings indicate that the Tahlil for Kids program effectively helps students understand and internalize character values through a religious approach that resonates with their local context. However, challenges arise in maintaining students' attention, gaining parental support, managing limited time within the school curriculum, and addressing the diverse religious backgrounds of students. The role of teachers as facilitators and the involvement of parents are crucial factors in the program’s success. These findings can serve as a reference for other schools seeking to integrate character education through religious-based activities relevant to the cultural context of their students.
