Microgreens are seedlings grown from the seeds of vegetables, herbs, and grains that are regarded as functional food with high mineral contents and helpful bioactive compounds. Nowadays, the research on the effects of light factors affecting the growth and quality of microgreens is usually confined. Therefore, this study was focused on determining the optimal light spectrum that enhanced the growth and nutritional values of Thai amaranth microgreens with growth LED artificial light. There were cultured under different light spectra for 8 days provided by illuminated continuously 16 hours for a day. The experiment was replicated three times using statistics of a randomized complete block design (RCBD). Thai amaranth microgreens gave different light spectrums: red, blue, red + blue (70:30), and white. The results revealed that the light spectrum played an important role in the production of phytochemicals in Thai amaranth microgreens. Although the monochromatic blue spectrum had the worst overall performance, it provided the highest antioxidant capacities of Thai amaranth microgreens. For the overall performance, a red and blue ratio of (70:30) LED spectrum can increase the nutritional value of Thai amaranth microgreens, according to the findings.

It was concluded that dry Acalypha indica L. root supplements in cat feed can increase cats’ interest in feed and the application of cat nettle root in cat feed should apply cat nettle root as a root meal form.

This research examines the correspondence between Kepler's Second Law and Yaseen verses 38– 40 and demonstrates how the discovery of Kepler's Law verifies the veracity of the Qur'an. Islamic scholars have revealed the astronomical understanding behind the Qur'anic verses throughout the history of humanity's astronomy-related Qur'anic study. Moving west, the German scholar Johannes Kepler organised his comprehensive perspective of heliocentric astronomy. Yaseen verses 38–40 explain how the astronomical objects orbit the galaxy's centre point in accordance with the accepted principles. On the other hand, Kepler's laws of planetary motion offer the first quantifiable relationship between the planets, including earth. Kepler's Law, which was established around four hundred years ago, had been mentioned in the holy Qur’an more than fourteen centuries ago, and it has been confirmed by scientific discoveries. Therefore, this research corresponds to the relation between Kepler’s law and Qur’anic studies to be a guidance for Qur'an memorizers on how to comprehend astronomy better. This research illustrates the relationship between western knowledge and astronomy-related Qur'anic study by incorporating evidence from Islamic scholars' interpretation and document studies of Kepler's Law. We discuss library research as a methodology for conducting research and offer an analyzation of two main sources, which are Kepler’s Second Law and verses from Qur’an 36:38-40, as well as some guidelines on how to both conduct and evaluate this paper. Our analysis reveals a significant correlation between Kepler's Law and the holy Qur'an. We concluded that Kepler's Law does corroborate Qur’anic veracity.

Black glutinous rice (Mhor37) is one of the plants that contain anthocyanin. Which is a naturally occurring pigment and will be able to change color according to the pH level. The efficacy of black glutinous rice (Mhor37) extract was studied by using a solvent of acetic acid and ethanol at concentrations of 30%, 45%, and 60% with a ratio of 1:1 (g/ml) for 12 hr and 24 hr. After that, take the extracts extracted with acetic acid at a concentration of 30% for 12 hr adjusted the pH level to 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, 6.0, and 7.5. The experimental results show that the extract from black glutinous rice (Mhor37) extracted with 30% acetic acid at pH 1.5 was efficient in chromosome staining at onion roots and it can clearly observe each phase of cell division. This project is expected to reduce the use of chemicals in chromosome staining, it may result in less chemical contamination in the environment and it also reduces the budget for the purchase of expensive chemical dyes.

Many traditional technologies, such as refrigerators, TVs, washing machines, coolers, etc., have improved in the modern, globally interconnected world, while highways remain primarily unchanged. Our "Smart Highway" project aims to make highways more energy-efficient, innovative, and safe. We are using vibration energy, for instance, to charge electric vehicles. However, when using this technique, travelling on roads produces a significant amount of energy in the form of vibration, which is completely lost. Additionally, cars will release greenhouse gases that weaken the ozone layer and contribute to global warming. Similarly, we tried using other kinds of energy on roadways using various methods such as wind, solar, and other green energies. However, it is way too costly because magnetic induction is already expensive. Aside from that, we used photo-Luminescent paint, which charges during the day and glows in the dark, to paint the road markings and, hopefully, can be used in place of streetlights. As a result, a highway change is required to utilise green energy.

The aim of this paper is to raise awareness of religion being an important principle in secular society. This paper focuses on three views that show religion as being a necessity in the modern world and its relationship with the secular society. This study was carried out through critical readings and analysis of scholarly articles and published materials. Many secular societies believe that religion should be separated from the government to allow for a fairer rule of the people. This study is aimed to show that religion is not burdensome, but instead provides happiness and peace around the world. In the social aspect, religion has three major functions in society which is providing social cohesion to help maintain social solidarity through rituals, beliefs, and conformity. This study concludes that religion has become popular in the modern world as it teaches people to be righteous, adhering to the law and respectful to the authority of the state.

The World Health Organization (WHO) proclaimed the contagious COVID-19 disease brought on by the coronavirus to be a pandemic on March 11, 2020. In Brunei Darussalam, the Omicron variant has replaced the Delta variant as the predominant variant since 2021, leading to a weekly case count of 29,402 cases with 156 deaths in the week ending March 6, 2022. As a result, Brunei has started the COVID-19 National Vaccination Program (NVP), which was conducted in three phases based on different demographic groups. Brunei Darussalam believes that these vaccines will protect the priority groups that it has identified. The government has made numerous attempts to stop COVID-19 from spreading by adopting a "herd immunity" strategy, in which at least 70-75% of the population gets immunized. The main objective of this study is to learn about the Brunei population’s perceptions and understanding of the necessity and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine. A cross-sectional online questionnaire was distributed to 250 local Muslim respondents using Google Forms. SPSS was used to conduct descriptive statistical analyses [frequency (%)] to represent the characteristics of respondents as well as their perceptions of the necessity and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccination. Based on the data analysis, the majority of the respondents (61.6%) agree on the necessity of taking COVID-19 vaccination will indirectly inhibit viral spread, while 62.4% have neutral views on the vaccine’s efficacy. Therefore, the relevant parties should play a role in building trust in vaccine safety and boosting understanding of the vaccine’s necessity and efficacy.

Dental and oral health in Indonesia is something that requires special treatment from an early age. 2018 basic health research stated that 93% of early childhood children have cavities, which means only 7% of children are free from dental caries problems. Damage to the teeth can affect the nutritional status of the child as they tend to refuse to eat. Apello is a creative innovation of toothpaste based on manalagi apple extract and fluoride-free. Manalagi apples have the ability to inhibit the formation of spots in teeth due to the content of catechins. Polyphenols in manalagi apples offers antibacterial function thus supporting it to be a suitable combination to be used as a base for toothpaste. The research method used was an experimental method and continued with organoleptic testing. The innovation of Apello is expected to make children diligent in maintaining healthy teeth because the content of apple peel is likable to children.

Cinnamon is a traditional herb that is widely used in health care and traditional medicine. Moreover, it was claimed to reduce stress. However, brain function research of this oil is still in its early phases. Therefore, the effects of cinnamon oil on brain activity were the focus of this study. In this study, ten participants were included. EEG and ECG were recorded during distilled water, lavender oil, and cinnamon oil inhalation. Each inhalation was followed by 3 minutes of open eyes and 3 minutes of closed eyes, respectively. At the end of the experiment, participants had to fill out a satisfaction questionnaire about the scents of each essential oil. In addition, GC-MS was used to analyze essential oil compositions. The main component of cinnamon oil is cinnamaldehyde, while that of lavender oil is linalyl acetate. The result of brain activities showed that beta frequency significantly decreased during cinnamon oil inhalation with eyes closed. Furthermore, both lavender oil and cinnamon oil inhalation tend to increase when compared with the distilled water inhalation group. Moreover, ECG can be linked to heart rate variability (HRV), and the results did not show a significant difference between groups. Overall satisfaction revealed that participants liked the scent of lavender more than cinnamon oil. According to this finding, cinnamon oil reduced beta frequency but did not affect on HRV. Therefore, cinnamon oil may produce an anxiolytic effect on brain function due to the decrease of beta wave.

This research examines the effectiveness of the breast cancer awareness campaign conducted throughout Malaysia in increasing the survival rate of cancer patients from 2007 to 2011. This campaign provides awareness to women to perform breast cancer early detection screening. This early detection screening is divided into three types which are Breast Self-Examination (BSE), Clinical Breast Examination (CBE) and Mammography Screening. BSE is a screening method used to detect breast abnormalities by the individual herself. This method is an approach to detect swelling or lumps in the breast. CBE is a clinical breast examination performed by a professional doctor in this field to identify abnormalities and early signs of cancer cell growth in the breast area. Finally, Mammogram Screening is a method used to detect breast cancer at an earlier stage, when the cancer cells are still small even before the lump can be detected. At this stage, cancer is easier to treat. The implementation of campaigns throughout the country increased the percentage of people who did the screening to detect the growth of cancer cells at an early stage. This campaign also provides information and a deeper understanding regarding health and daily practices for breast cancer patients in practicing a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, the survival rate of cancer patients is higher because patients are able to receive treatment earlier. The design of this study is a qualitative study. The methodology used is a literature review and also an analysis of cancer patient survival rate statistics from 2007 to 2011.

Astaxanthin is a highly bioavailable antioxidant carotenoid. It can be extracted from marine life such as shrimp, crab, and red algae. Most of astaxanthin products are extracted from red algae which use costly production. Searching for lower cost sources of astaxanthin would be an interesting alternative way. Therefore, this research aims to extract astaxanthin from crab shells to study biological activities related to biomedical sciences. Astaxanthin was extracted from crab shells (shell and claw) in ethanol. The astaxanthin concentration was determined by colorimetric method. Then, the extract containing astaxanthin was subjected to determine antioxidant activity by ABTS assay, Caco-2 cell survival by MTT assay, and oil encapsulation using simple emulsion method. The results of this study found that the crude extract from molted crab shells had higher astaxanthin content and antioxidant activity than the crab claw extract by showing the astaxanthin content of 0.239±0.006 mg/g DW and antioxidant activity of 18, 038.824±1757.679 μM TEAC/g extract. The crab shell extract at the concentration of 250, 500, and 1000 μg/ml inhibited the cancer cells by 20, 35, and 60 %, respectively. When the crab shell extract was applied in oil emulsion, it was found that coconut oil was the most suitable oil for encapsulation of the extract containing astaxanthin. Therefore, molted crab shell could be an interesting alternative source of raw materials for astaxanthin extraction to reduce production costs by utilizing waste from the molted crab industry and developing as nutritional supplements in the future.

Aspek kerohanian adalah salah satu dari enam tunjang asas dalam KSSM Sains dan turut ditekankan dalam Falsafah Pendidikan Kebangsaan selain dari elemen jasmani, emosi dan intelektual. Dalam konteks pendidikan sains, kualiti murid yang dihasratkan dapat lahir dari sistem pendidikan sains kebangsaan ialah murid yang berfikrah sains iaitu mempunyai ciri murid yang mampu berfikir secara kritis untuk menilai sesuatu idea secara logik dan rasional untuk membuat pertimbangan yang wajar dengan menggunakan alasan dan bukti yang munasabah. Asas kerohanian dan kemahiran berfikir secara kritis ini jika tidak disulami atau dibangunkan tanpa panduan yang benar iaitu Al-Quran, menyebabkan berlaku kepincangan nilai. Unsur kerohanian dipisahkan kepada kajian keagamaan dan tidak diintegrasikan merentasi mata pelajaran yang lain khususnya Sains. Sains berkonsepkan tauhid memainkan peranan yang amat penting sebagai sumber yang efektif untuk mengenali Tuhan yang mencipta alam dan membimbing manusia melakukan kajian serta berfikir secara kritis berasaskan bukti yang telah tertulis dalam Al-Quran. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk meninjau pengintegrasian Al-Quran dalam kurikulum Sains sebagai satu kaedah untuk meningkatkan kerohanian murid dan kemahiran berfikir secara kritis khususnya dalam penyelesaian masalah untuk topik Ekosistem. Kajian ini berbentuk kualitatif deskriptif dan data dikumpul secara pemerhatian, temu bual dan dokumentasi. Implikasi kajian ini dapat memberi faedah kepada perkembangan kerohanian murid, meningkatkan kecintaan murid terhadap Al-Quran, meningkatkan pemikiran kritis juga dapat menjadi sumber rujukan untuk kajian lanjut bagi melihat tema-tema yang sesuai dalam Al-Quran yang dapat diintegrasikan dalam silibus KSSM Sains.

The background issue this project covers is mostly about water and sea pollution; focusing on spilled oil from boats, ships, etc. into the ocean water. This project could help remove the oil spills in the sea to avoid further damage to aquatic life. This project of ours can do the following task due to it having a section with vacuum pipes below it that is connected to a sensor which allows it to detect locations of spilled oil. As for the contaminated water that was vacuumed, it will undergo a gravity separation process inside our boat that will be done in a tank. This tank will help separate the water and the oil as there’ll be a barrier in between. The clean water and the oil will be released separately as the process is done. This boat does not need any human supervision since it will be controlled automatically by a GPS and a sensor that is used to detect oil spills. Without any presence of human supervision means that it could help clean oil from the sea in a safer way compared to the old way.

Coffee is one of the most popular drinks by the public. According to data from the International Coffee Organization in 2021, the number of coffee producers in Indonesia increased by about 4.40% compared to the previous period. In coffee there is a caffeine consumption is 150 mg/ day, and if consumed in excess it will cause many health problems. A report states that regular consumption of caffeine causes 14% of deaths caused by coronary heart disease. And 20% of deaths are caused by stroke. Therefore,the purpose of this study was to replace coffee beans into date beans as an alternative to non-caffeinated coffee. Date palm seeds contain antioxidants that can ward off free radicals so that they become a substitute for coffee beans that contain caffeine, consuming dates is also a sunnah for Muslims. This research also developed innovations by using dipping bags as coffee containers to reduce coffee deposits when brewed. That way people can easily consume healty non-caffeinated coffee and live the sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. Also researchers have conducted experiments in producing coffe from dates seeds,from these studies obtained 3,31 result from taste, scent, color, packaging, from these result are included in the good category.
