Pupils exhibit low reading enthusiasm, boredom, and shyness. Therefore, teachers need to find a suitable teaching strategy. Hello English as a new application that promotes interactive and creative learning for users, especially students might be the solution. So, this study aims to find out the effectiveness of the Hello English application on students’ learning motivation and reading skills at the tertiary level. This study is quasi-experimental research. Two classes were selected by the researcher to serve as the control and experimental groups using random sampling. Data is gathered by the researcher via questionnaires and tests. The independent sample t-test, descriptive statistics, and the N-Gain score formula were used to analyze the data. The findings indicate that the features in the Hello English program such as report cards, chat forums, games, dictionaries, and reading exercises boost students’ motivation and reading skills. In conclusion, compared to conventional teaching methods, the Hello English application has a greater impact on students' reading skills, learning motivation, and both at the same time. These findings suggest that the features in the Hello English application were created to make learning English enjoyable for students and improve their comprehension of textual content.
Regulation and production of contemporary literature: An examination of literary evolution in the digital age
Authors: Adawiyah Robiatul
Published: August 2024

The evolution of technology has significantly influenced the realm of literature. Once predominantly disseminated through oral and print mediums, literary works are now increasingly emerging in digital formats. The emergence of digital literature phenomena has impacted literary works' processes, outcomes, and production. Digital literature is not merely termed 'digital' due to its medium; it also entails form and regulatory framework differences. Unlike conventional literary works published in print, the production of digital literature is characterized by swiftness and demands rapidity. Employing netnography methodology with a descriptive approach to social change, this article explores the regulation of digital literature production, innovations in digital literary forms, the process of producing digital literature, and the changes occurring in print literature. The analytical process involves observing several platforms publishing digital literature, examining printed literary products, collecting regulatory data from various digital literary platforms, presenting the data, and drawing conclusions. The findings reveal that each digital literary platform has distinct regulations, unlike major print publishers with nearly uniform regulations. Furthermore, the rapid development of digital literature indirectly compels print literature to showcase greater creativity in marketing efforts to withstand the onslaught of innovative digital literary products in the contemporary era.

Authors: Ikasari Wipsar Siwi Dona , Widodo Pratomo , Suryaman Maman , Ashadi Ashadi
Published: August 2024

The interplay of gender, ethnicity, and religious identifications plays an important role in the daily lives of Indonesians (Bertrand, 2004; Hoon, 2013; Ikasari, 2009; 2020; Suryadinata, et al., 2003).This study looks at Indonesian young girls’ ways of being ethnic and religious, in relation to their schooling experiences to determine the manner in which these schoolgirls construct their ethnic and religious identities in the school environment. It is expected to add on to previous and current studies of women/girls in the Indonesian context. Located in a public secondary co-educational school in Yogyakarta, the study involved three schoolgirls from the Chinese ethnicity and Christian religion. Drawing on cultural studies and feminism of identity and difference as the theoretical and methodological framework, the study attempted to explore Indonesian schoolgirls’ experiences and constructions of ethnicity and religion. This research is a qualitative descriptive study using case study as its method. The research data were collected from free-format, short autobiography essays written by the participants, individual and group interviews, and observation as well as online communications. Data analyses were initially carried out through data coding as determined by the research questions. The findings show that, first, the three ethnic-religious groups in this study namely the Chinese-Kristiani girls set up binaries of their essentialised understandings of being ethnic and religious members. Second, there are different ways of learning shaped by their ethnicity and religion. These two identities, in turn, shape their learning outcomes within and beyond their schooling site.

Authors: Stroiev M.Yu. , Karpinska O.D.
Published: August 2024

Background. Lower limb bone injuries are one of the most severe traumas to the musculoskeletal system. Treatment of lower limb fractures is complicated in overweight and obese patients, in people with diseases of the bones, circulatory system, with diabetes mellitus and other age- and weight-related diseases. Today, four main methods and their modifications are used to treat bone fractures: blocking intramedullary osteosynthesis (BIOS), plate osteosynthesis (PO), external fixation devices (EFD), and plaster casts. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the results of treatment of overweight patients with tibia fractures using BIOS, PO and EFD. Materials and methods. The treatment of 42 patients with tibia fractures aged 21 to 71 years was analyzed. All of them were overweight. The average body mass index was 28.6 ± 1.8, with a range from 25.4 to 33.0. For the treatment of fracture, 27 patients (64.3 %) underwent BIOS, 9 (21.4 %) — PO, and 6 (14.3 %) had EFD. Patients were examined before treatment, after surgery, and at 1.5, 3.5, 6, and 12 months after the start of treatment for the degree of pain; score on the S.D. Tumian questionnaire, data of the system for assessing long-term treatment outcomes, the timing of recovery of the patient’s functional abilities were evaluated as well. Results. Before the surgery, patients rated the pain in the injured limb as severe and very severe (8–10 points). After the surgery, it decreased more, but remained at an average level. According to the analysis, there is a statistically significant (p = 0.001) decrease in pain between the observation periods. After the bone fracture repair, patients in the BIOS group begin to load the limb earlier and reach full weight bearing a month earlier than in the other groups. Evaluating treatment outcomes on the S.D. Tumian questionnaire showed that the tendency to improvement persisted throughout the treatment period in all patients, but the best results were in the BIOS group, which had the highest score already at the 6th month of observation. The assessment of the functional abilities demonstrated that after 12 months, patients in the BIOS and PO groups reported either no pain (77.8 and 55.6 %, respectively) or moderate pain after prolonged walking (22.2 and 33.3 %, respectively), while the EFD group complained of pain after prolonged walking. After 12 months in the BIOS group, the number of patients without claudication was 74.1 %, in the EFD group, people had moderate and not significant claudication. Conclusions. The analysis of outcomes in patients with tibia fractures who were treated using blocking osteosynthesis, periosteal osteosynthesis and external fixation devices showed the feasibility of BIOS in overweight individuals. This makes it possible to start motor activity and the ability to take care of oneself earlier, which is important for such patients.
L2 Morphological Instruction Based on Affix Index: A Constructional Approach
Authors: Yu Xiaomei
Published: August 2024

This study introduces a pedagogical approach based on Construction Morphology and affix index, aiming to create morphological and syntactic contexts for L2 learners and enhance the effectiveness of teaching derived words. The experiment consisted of an Experimental Group (EG) receiving 40 minutes’ morphological instruction and a Control Group (CG) without such intervention. The instructional approach focused on six polysemous affixes, utilizing six sets of affix concordances (each comprising six sentences) to assist learners in conducting morphological analyses of familiar words containing the specified affixes. Subsequently, both groups underwent an immediate post-test evaluating four dimensions of morphological knowledge of new words: relational, syntactic, distributional, and semantic knowledge. The EG engaged in a delayed post-test two weeks later, with adjusted test item sequencing. Results indicated positive short-term effects on comprehensive morphological knowledge and its constituent aspects. However, in the delayed post-test, while no significant difference was observed in relational and semantic knowledge, the EG’s mean scores for syntactic and distributional knowledge notably declined. These findings underscore the efficacy of the affix index-based teaching mode in facilitating L2 learners’ understanding of morphemic structures and subsequent acquisition of derived words.

Authors: Gawali Prakash , Kundu Amit Kumar
Published: August 2024

The use of high speed in the wire drawing process become very common because of increase in customer demands and production rate. In this work the effect of high speed drawing (30m/sec) on mechanical and technological properties of high carbon steel wire has been investigated. Wire rod 5.50mm from steel grade 0.45% carbon and 0.56% carbon were drawn to 1.35mm in 13 draws and two speeds 10m/sec and 30m/sec. After each draw the following properties were determined; tensile strength (Ts), temperature (T), number of twists (Nt), number of bends (Nb). A large drop in the number of has been observed for final wires because of increased draw speed. However, there is also an advantage as the wire surface is much smoother after drawing at high speed than at low speed. The results were practically and statistically estimated.

Authors: Tan Tingyin , Wang Ruei-Yuan
Published: August 2024

This study employs the Geographic Information System (GIS), remote sensing (RS), and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to create a complete ecological environment sensitivity evaluation system and perform an ecological sensitivity analysis (ESA) of Qingdao City. First, a single-factor ESA was performed by selecting seven indicators of slope, aspect, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), river buffer zone, Land-Use and Land-Cover Change (LUCC), and soil classification, which were then superimposed in GIS based on the weight of each factor, yielding a quantitative ESA of Qingdao. The results indicate that the general ecological sensitivity of Qingdao is largely light and medium. The area proportions of extremely sensitive regions, highly sensitive areas, medium sensitive areas, low sensitive areas, and insensitive areas are 4.09%, 10.4%, 25.58%, 35.1%, respectively.
Analysis of the Spatial-temporal Evolution of Land Use and Driving Force based on the Production-Living-Ecological Space: A Case Study of Shenzhen
Authors: Song Fengyi , Wang Ruei-Yuan
Published: August 2024

Exploring the evolution of land use and its driving force in Shenzhen's Production-Living-Ecological Space (PLES) may serve as a reference for optimizing regional land spatial patterns and urban spatial structures, as well as providing a scientific foundation for supporting regional sustainable development. The research period was 2010 to 2020, and the spatial-temporal evolution was analyzed using GIS and a land use transfer matrix, followed by an examination of the driving factors of its change using geographic detectors. The results indicate that: (1) Shenzhen's production space increases initially before decreasing, while the living space increases little and then grows significantly, while the ecological space continues to shrink significantly. (2) From 2010 to 2015, the degree of conversion was quite low, but from 2015 to 2020, it climbed dramatically. (3) The majority of the factors have strong explanatory power for the land use intensity of PLES but the annual average temperature, NDVI, and the added value of tertiary industry are always important driving factors influencing the land use intensity (4) In the interactive detection, the average annual temperature, NDVI, PM2.5, population density, and the added value of tertiary industry were interacted with other factors, and the results significantly increased the explanatory power of the land use intensity of PLES.
Voices from the Margins: Analysing Subaltern Narratives in Rohinton Mistrys: A Fine Balance
Authors: George Dr. Vinu
Published: August 2024

Abstract: This paper explores the representation of subaltern voices in Rohinton Mistry's A Fine Balance, a novel set against the backdrop of India during the Emergency period of the 1970s. Through a close reading of the characters and their narratives, this study delves into the lived experiences of marginalized individuals—tailors, beggars, and outcasts—who are often silenced or rendered invisible in mainstream discourse. Drawing on the theoretical framework of subaltern studies, the paper examines how Mistry gives voice to these marginalized groups, highlighting their struggles for survival, dignity, and agency in a society marked by systemic oppression and social hierarchies. The analysis reveals how the novel not only critiques the socio-political landscape of the time but also engages with broader questions of power, identity, and resistance. By foregrounding the subaltern experience, A Fine Balance challenges the reader to confront the stark realities of inequality and the resilience of those who exist on the margins of society

Authors: Hufron Hufron , Fikri Sultoni
Published: August 2024

Corruption threatens democratic principles that highly value transparency, accountability, and integrity. Indonesia must continuously innovate in its efforts to combat corruption. Establishing more comprehensive asset forfeiture regulations is crucial, given the increasing rates of corruption. This study addresses two main research questions: 1) Asset forfeiture regulations in various countries; 2) The urgency of regulating asset forfeiture for corruption crimes in Indonesia. This research employs a normative legal research method, using a literature study to collect legal materials. The findings indicate that various countries have established and implemented asset forfeiture regulations with different concepts, namely Conviction-Based Asset Forfeiture and Non-Conviction-Based Asset Forfeiture. However, Indonesia does not yet have specific provisions and only treats asset forfeiture as an additional penalty.
Eicosanoid Pathways and Inflammation in Sickle Cell Vaso-Occlusion: A Review
Authors: Obeagu Emmanuel Ifeanyi
Published: August 2024

Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a genetic blood disorder characterized by the production of abnormal hemoglobin S, leading to the deformation of red blood cells (RBCs) into a sickle shape. This deformation results in recurrent vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs), a hallmark of the disease, which are driven by complex interactions between sickled RBCs, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction. Eicosanoids, bioactive lipid mediators derived from arachidonic acid, play a critical role in the inflammatory response associated with VOCs. This review explores the various eicosanoid pathways involved in SCA, focusing on the roles of prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and lipoxins in modulating inflammation and vascular function. The dysregulation of eicosanoid synthesis and metabolism significantly contributes to the pathophysiology of VOCs in SCA. Elevated levels of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins and leukotrienes exacerbate inflammation, increase vascular permeability, and promote leukocyte adhesion, leading to microvascular obstruction and tissue ischemia. Conversely, the production of anti-inflammatory lipoxins may be impaired, further perpetuating the inflammatory response. Therapeutic strategies targeting eicosanoid pathways offer promising avenues for improving clinical outcomes in patients with SCA. Interventions such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), leukotriene receptor antagonists, and lipoxin analogues may help mitigate inflammation and prevent VOCs. Keywords: Sickle cell anemia, vaso-occlusive crisis, eicosanoids, inflammation, leukotrienes, prostaglandins, arachidonic acid, COX enzymes, LOX enzymes, therapeutic strategies
The Impact of Maternal Malaria on Adaptive Immune Responses in Offspring
Authors: Obeagu Emmanuel Ifeanyi , Obeagu Getrude Uzoma
Published: August 2024

Maternal malaria, primarily caused by Plasmodium falciparum, significantly impacts the health of both mothers and their offspring, extending beyond immediate pregnancy complications. This review explores the effects of maternal malaria on the adaptive immune responses of offspring, focusing on how prenatal exposure influences T-cell and B-cell functions, cytokine profiles, and overall immune system development. Altered T-cell subsets, impaired B-cell responses, and skewed cytokine production can lead to increased susceptibility to infections and reduced vaccine efficacy in children born to mothers with malaria. The mechanisms underlying these effects include chronic inflammation induced by maternal malaria, the transfer of malaria-related factors across the placenta, and potential epigenetic modifications affecting immune gene expression. Persistent inflammation and immune dysregulation during critical periods of immune system development can disrupt normal immune function, increasing the risk of autoimmune conditions and chronic diseases later in life. Addressing these challenges requires a multi-faceted approach, including strengthening malaria prevention programs, improving antenatal care, and supporting research into the long-term impacts of maternal malaria on immune function. By understanding and mitigating the effects of maternal malaria on offspring immunity, public health strategies can enhance health outcomes and reduce the burden of malaria on future generations. Keywords: Maternal malaria, Plasmodium falciparum, adaptive immune responses, T-cells, B-cells, cytokine profiles, offspring immunity, prenatal exposure, immune system development.
Nitric Oxide Dysregulation and Vaso-Occlusive Crisis in Sickle Cell Anemia: A Review
Authors: Obeagu Emmanuel Ifeanyi
Published: August 2024

Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a genetic disorder characterized by the production of abnormal hemoglobin S (HbS), leading to chronic hemolysis and recurrent vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs). VOCs are acute, painful episodes caused by the obstruction of blood flow due to sickled red blood cells (RBCs), resulting in tissue ischemia and organ damage. Nitric oxide (NO) plays a crucial role in vascular homeostasis, and its dysregulation is a significant factor in the pathophysiology of SCA, particularly in VOCs. In SCA, chronic hemolysis releases free hemoglobin into the plasma, which scavenges NO and reduces its bioavailability. Additionally, increased arginase activity depletes L-arginine, the substrate for NO synthesis, further diminishing NO production. Oxidative stress exacerbates NO degradation and endothelial dysfunction, amplifying the risk of VOCs. The interplay between NO deficiency, oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction creates a vicious cycle that perpetuates vascular damage and increases the frequency and severity of VOCs. This review explores the mechanisms underlying NO dysregulation in SCA and its impact on vascular function. It also discusses potential therapeutic interventions aimed at modulating NO pathways to prevent or reduce VOCs. These interventions include NO donors, L-arginine supplementation, phosphodiesterase inhibitors, antioxidant therapy, and arginase inhibitors. Keywords: Sickle cell anemia, vaso-occlusive crisis, nitric oxide dysregulation, hemolysis, endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, therapeutic interventions.

Authors: Murniati Wahyuning , Sumarti Novriana , Puspita Dila
Published: August 2024

Based on IIFM Sukuk Report 2022, global sukuk issuance has shown a single digit increase of around 7.72\%, the highest value of yearly sukuk issuances to date. This fact shows that sukuk is increasingly popular and will continue to grow in the future, encourages more research related to this subject. Sukuk, as one of the innovative investment instruments in Islamic finance, is often equated to conventional bonds. However, the existing literature primarily concentrates on its structures and mechanisms, largely overlooking the pricing aspects of both sukuk and bonds. Therefore, this study will discuss pricing in mathematical terms for the two investment instruments discussed. More particularly, this paper covers the Indonesian Sukuk system’s operation. Numerical simulations have been done, using the characteristics of several varieties of Indonesian Sukuk and a variety of defined inputs. These mathematics simulation used to comprehend the technical aspects of sukuk and understand the principles of Islamic finance. The results of this study indicate that while some studies claim that sukuk's structure resembles bonds and that the pricing is determined accordingly, the comparison of both instruments prices provided no results consistent with the claims. Further study is required to examine the sukuk pricing mechanism, particularly in determining the value of profit sharing on sukuk.
Feminisme Dalam Pemberitaan Media Online Konde.co (Studi: Analisis Wacana Kritis)
Authors: Afifah Nisa , Rifa'i Akhmad
Published: August 2024

The mass media and online portray women unequally in their current coverage, with efforts to normalize discrimination against women. This paper aims to describe feminism toward Critical Discourse Analysis (AWK) in Konde.co online media. The method used in this paper is the descriptive-qualitative method, which involves obtaining data through observation and documentation. The results of this paper show that the news on Konde.co's online media contains feminist discourse. Konde.co takes sides with women in accordance with the ideology of the media, which refers to the feminist movement. Reporting on Konde.co's online media always raises issues related to defending women in writing its news. Konde.co, which has a direct alliance with women, also provides advocacy for women who are oppressed and subordinated by society. Even though the position of women is placed as an object, the Konde.co media still prioritizes it and does not corner it in the news text. Therefore, konde.co, which has feminist characteristics as a differentiator from other media, must be able to maintain the existence and consistency of its media ideology in order to provide a balanced education to the public.
Pendekatan Komunikasi Islam Ayah Dan Anak (Studi Pada Keluarga Di Kecamatan Darussalam Banda Aceh)
Authors: Sa'dan Ibnu
Published: August 2024

The purpose of this study is to look at the role of fathers in leading or building a family. Fathers have great duties and functions not only to earn a living but also as protectors, role models, educators. This understanding does not seem to be fully fulfilled by most people. Indonesia adheres to a patriarchal system, thus seeing the father's role as only earning a living for his family. As a result, the father's role becomes partial and creates an imbalance in forming a family. Many children lose a father figure physically and psychologically, making children look for happiness, story friends other than their family. By building Islamic communication, it is hoped that the father's presence can be felt by children and families. The research method used is descriptive analytical method with qualitative approach. The data collection method is by conducting interviews with a number of fathers who live in Darussalam District, Banda Aceh. The results showed that to form a harmonious family, knowledge and religious knowledge are needed by applying Islamic communication principles such as qaulan karima, qaulan baligha, qaulan maysura, qaula sadida, qaulan layyina, qaulan ma'rufa. And it must be balanced by maximising the role of the father to be a family economic supporter (economic provider), providing time for the family (friend and playmate), providing a sense of comfort (caraviger and protector).

Objectives

To evaluate the eruptive angle, mesiodistal position and height of permanent maxillary canines in patients with agenesis of the permanent maxillary lateral incisor (AL) from the mixed to the permanent dentition.

Materials and Methods

The sample was composed of orthodontic records of subjects with and without AL. The agenesis group comprised 11 patients, 7 with bilateral and 4 with unilateral AL (8.6 ± 1.6 years, 4 males, 7 females). The control group comprised 9 patients (8.5 ± 1.0 years, 2 males, 7 females) without AL. Panoramic radiographs were analyzed at three timepoints: inter-transitional period (T1), second transitional period (10.1±0.9 years, T2) and permanent dentition (11.9±1.1 years, T3). The long axis angle of the permanent maxillary canine (α and β), the mesiodistal distance (d) in relation to the central incisor, and the height (H) from the cusp tip of the canine to the occlusal plane were evaluated. Intergroup comparisons were performed with t-tests, Mann-Whitney, and Chi-square tests (P < 0.05).

Results

A mesial position of the canine cusp tip relative to the distal of the permanent maxillary central incisor was observed for the agenesis group at T1, T2 and T3. From T1 to T2, the agenesis group showed greater occlusal displacement of the canine tooth germ.

Conclusions

In patients with AL, canine tooth germs showed more mesial displacement and erupted a mean of 4.5 mm closer to the maxillary central incisors. Eruption of maxillary canines tended to be accelerated during the late mixed dentition in patients with AL.

Tatalaksana STEMI dengan onset yang timbul dalam 12 jam adalah reperfusi. Tatalaksana reperfusi apapun membutuhkan pemberian antiplatelet, terutama dual antiplatelet dengan kombinasi aspirin dan P2Y12 reseptor antagonis. Manajemen terapi antiplatelet pada pasien STEMI dengan trombositopenia memberi tantangan karena pasien memiliki resiko tinggi terjadinya perdarahan dan iskemia. Dilaporkan kasus pasien laki laki berusia 45 tahun dengan keluhan dada kiri terasa berat  yang terasa sejak 2 jam lalu saat pasien sedang menyiram tanaman, keluhan dada kiri tidak menjalar ke hingga ke lengan kiri maupun dagu. Pada pemeriksaan fisik didapatkan keadaan umum baik, namun beberapa tanda vital meningkat. Hasil laboratorium menunjukkan penurunan trombosit dan hasil dari pemeriksaan enzim jantung didapatkan peningkatan dari Troponin-l. Pada hasil pemeriksaan ekokardiografi didapatkan hipokinetik pada mid anterolateral, apikal lateral, dengan kontraktilitas ventrikel kiri menurun dengan ejection fraction 48% dan TAPSE 2,1. Pasien didiagnosis STEMI inferior dengan trombositopenia dan pasien diberikan terapi berupa pilihan antikoagulan fondaparinux 2,5 cc dengan cek darah lengkap serial setiap hari. Pasien dipulangkan di hari ke-5 dengan terapi ramipril 1 x 5 mg, bisoprolol 1 x 5 mg, clopidogrel 1 x 75 mg, atorvastatin 1 x 40 mg dan spironolakton 1 x 25 m, dengan nilai PLT saat dipulangkan adalah 78 x 103 /uL.
Assessing the Effectiveness of the 10 United Nations Global and Multilateral Climate Treaties
Authors: Tibni Haytham
Published: August 2024

International Environmental Agreements (IEAs) have been implemented to address sustainability challenges and encourage international cooperation. The effectiveness of IEAs remains a topic of discussion, particularly in the context of addressing climate change. As CO2 emissions are influenced by a country’s economic activity and population size, the question of fairness arises when holding nations accountable for their contributions to climate change. The United Nations (UN) has played a significant role in shaping global treaties on climate change and facilitating multilateral negotiations across member nations. While UN-brokered IEAs offer a framework for cooperation and environmental regulation, debates persist regarding the allocation of responsibility and the effectiveness of implementation. This paper examines specific IEAs relating to global climate change and their achievements, limitations, and potential for improvement.

Published: August 2024

This study investigates the impact of digital trade on employment in Africa, with the objective of deepening the understanding of the region’s economiclandscape and the potential of digital trade to generate employment. Utilizing a dataset covering 30 African countries from 2009 to 2020, the research employs an instrumental variable two-stage least squares (IV-2SLS) estimation method to assess the effects of digital trade. The findings reveal that, although digital trade does not uniformly enhance overall employment, it exerts a significant and positive influence on employment within the industrial and services sectors. Moreover, the study highlights the role of general government expenditure as a moderating factor in this relationship. This research contributes new empirical evidence by using various trade activities as proxies for digital trade, addressing a notable gap in the existing literature. The conclusions provide critical insights for African policymakers in developing strategies to leverage digitalization for economic growth.

In this study, the researchers focused on testing experimental media from Yeti Rusmiati to measure the dielectric constant of capacitors, with variations in thickness, surface area, material, and density. The experimental results show that the thicker the dielectric material, the smaller the capacitance value. This applies to all materials tested, namely mica, silicon, and duplex paper, with errors from largest to smallest being 24.97% duplex, 7.27% mica, and 0% silicon. Measuring the capacitance of parallel plate capacitors with variations in plate area from GRC gypsum, silicon rubber, and mica, it was found that the error from largest to smallest is mica 11.56%. In comparison, silicon rubber and GRC gypsum have an error of 0%. Measurement of capacitance by varying the dielectric material shows that the capacitance value of the capacitor is proportional to the dielectric constant of the material. Among all the 12 materials tested, the highest dielectric constant is banana leaves with a value of 𝜿 = 12.6 and the smallest flannel with a value of 𝜿 = 1.02. In contrast, the variation in density shows that the greater the density, the greater the dielectric constant, from the largest to the smallest, the variation in density of leaves steamed with fire, fresh leaves 1 x 24 hours, and dry leaves heated with the sun, respectively 67.51;22.96; 16.57. It can be concluded that Yeti Rusmiati's media can be used in measuring dielectric constant with variations in thickness, area, density, and dielectric material in learning capacitors.
