These responsibilities are premised around qualification, experience and job placement. Teachers’ experience has a place in the literature to influence physics performance. The curriculum of both advanced and ordinary level physics is with similarities and occasioned differences with respect to content knowledge. However, are there differences in the qualification, experience and job placement between these two sets of teachers? In view of the foregoing, this study examined advanced and ordinary level in-field physics teachers distribution vis a vis qualification, experience and job placement with a view to aggregate data for decision making, as well as, report gender representation, establish drift and possible remediation in the field. Descriptive research of the survey type was employed with Physics Teachers Ordinary and Advanced Level Inventory (PTOALI) as the instrument to elicit data from 225 physics teachers across the three states under review. Similarities exist in teachers’ qualification at ordinary and advance levels. Experience of teachers at ordinary level were higher than those teaching advanced level curriculum. Underrepresentation of female physics teachers was found among the sample audience. Also, physics teachers are limited in number across the sampled schools and that female physics teachers are under-represented within the sampled respondents. This study concludes that more qualified physics teachers are needed across the three states under review. Experienced physics teachers are also required in advanced level schools. This study recommends training and recruitment of adequate number of qualified physics teachers to cope with the surging number of willing learners.

However, research that analyzes the predictors of this problem is still rarely done. Biology knowledge (BK) depicts the level of biological information mastered by students; attitude toward science (ATS) is related to students' views when participating in science learning; while disbelief in conspiracy theories (DiCT) describes a person's ability to examine information that contradicts scientific truth. The current research was aimed at analyzing BK, ATS, and DiCT among Biology students, as well as the correlation between the three. The data collection instrument used was an online questionnaire comprising four main sections: demographic items, 15 Biology, and the General Public Questionnaire items, 40 ATS test items, and 8 DiCT items. Analysis was conducted on data from 820 respondents collected from February-March 2022. Some techniques for data analysis were applied, including frequency and percentage estimation, Kruskal-Wallis H test analysis, Dunn's test analysis, Kendall's Tau Correlation, and rank-based estimation regression. This research found that: 1) student’s ages and genders did not significantly contribute to any, while institutional status and study years did to BK and DiCT; 2) study program significantly contributed to ATS, and 3) ATS was found to not correlate significantly with DiCT, but BK was significant by the DiCT. Therefore, BK becomes the main competency that can protect students from unscientific conspiracy theories. This study has revealed a novelty framework about the position of knowledge and attitude in predicting students' abilities when examining misinformation.

A handling effort is a very crucial thing and must be done immediately. This study aims to characterize organic compounds in liquid smoke from dried water hyacinth. Characterization of organic compounds from dried water hyacinth was carried out on water hyacinth liquid smoke which was pyrolyzed at 200°C and 600°C. Pyrolysis times were run at 2 hours and 6 hours. Liquid smoke from dried water hyacinth was distilled before testing its chemical composition using GCMS brand Shimadzu type QP 2010S. The results of liquid smoke characterization are used to decide that liquid smoke can be utilized as a food preservative. The test results report that the liquid smoke produced had an acid percentage ranging from 29.63% to 37.23%, phenol from 1.04 to 6.11%, and the remaining carbonyl compounds from 55.99% to 68.90%. The highest component value was obtained at 600°C pyrolysis and 6 hours. The conclusion is that liquid smoke from dried water hyacinth can be used as a food preservative because it contains acid, phenol, and carbonyl and is free of Benzo (a) pyrene, which can cause cancer. So that the requirement for liquid smoke as a preservative can be achieved, whereas acid is a food preservative. This study generates the acquisition of natural food preservatives to utilize weeds. The research helps us utilize weeds to resist the Rawa Pening environment and manufacture food preservatives.","PeriodicalId":37652,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Pendidikan IPA Indonesia","volume":"82 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82401661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jetak Village in Indonesia has a large livestock population, so it has the potential to be a reasonably high contributor to GHG emissions. Therefore, research is needed to calculate GHG from the livestock sector and calculate biogas potential. Besides, we also discuss data collection techniques that are important but often forgotten in GHG reduction studies in developing countries. This is useful as an effort and reference to reduce GHG emissions in rural areas, especially in Jetak Village. The GHG calculation uses the Tier-1 method, while the data on the potential for biogas utilization is obtained from manure production calculations and in-depth interviews. The calculation results show that the highest total GHG from livestock management in Jetak Village in 2017 was 1,106.69 tons CO2-eq/year, while the lowest total GHG emissions in 2015 were 1,018.41 CO2-eq Gg/year. Dairy cows are the biggest emitter in livestock management, with 4,919.61 tons of CO2-eq/year, and laying hens are the lowest emitters with 1.39 tons CO2-eq/year. Dairy cows are the largest contributor to GHG emissions in enteric fermentation with 9,680.52 tons CO2-eq/year, and the lowest number of contributors is horses with 20.79 tons CO2-eq/year. The potential of biogas in Jetak Village based on manure production is 137 installations. The positive community's perception supports this. It tends to be less valid regarding livestock population data used for GHG calculations, so we verified it during in-depth interviews. The in-depth interview process used local language to enhance the quality of responses. This research needs to be developed considering our findings that there are only 50 biogas installations, indicating the biogas potential is not being utilized to its full potential.","PeriodicalId":37652,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Pendidikan IPA Indonesia","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77696099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
