Malnutrition in the elderly is a serious global health problem due to changes in the age pyramid throughout the world, especially the proportion of the number of elderly. The elderly are vulnerable to functional disorders, nutritional intake and economic problems. psychological and motoric As a result, it is very easy for elderly people to experience a decrease in nutritional intake which triggers nutritional problems and other disorders in the elderly. This research uses the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) questionnaire to identify the nutritional status of the elderly and its relationship with elderly screening including food intake, as well as several disorders (mobility, psychological, neurological) in the elderly at Batam City Nursing Homes in December 2022. The research method used is descriptive analytic with a cross-sectional approach, the research sample consists of 65 respondents selected using total sampling techniques. The research results showed that based on the Mini Nutritional Assessment, 10 respondents (15.4%) had normal nutritional status, 30 people (46.2%) were at risk of experiencing malnutrition, and 25 people (38.5%) experienced malnutrition. The majority of elderly people experience a decrease in food intake, are still able to move (mobility), do not experience psychological disorders, but the majority have experienced neurological disorders (dementia).</p> Rahayu Yekti Arvin Hardian Tambunan Pratiwi Dyah Kusumo Copyright (c) 2024 Rahayu Yekti https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-01-31 2024-01-31 8 2 169 175 10.33541/edumatsains.v8i2.5482 NPWP ENCRYPTION USES A COMBINATION OF ONE TIME PAD ALGORITHM AND EXCLUSIVE-OR OPERATION http://ejournal.uki.ac.id/index.php/edumatsains/article/view/5039 <p>Nomor Pokok Wajib Pajak (NPWP) is the 20 distinct code characteristics that are confidential only to the taxpayer when it comes <br>to making tax transactions.

School teaching materials contain many questions with almost the same level of difficulty and solution methods so that students get a little bored of doing them. This research aims to develop mathematics learning media in the form of comics with <em>Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) </em>nuances to improve the mathematics learning outcomes of class VII students at SMP N 20 Jambi City. In this development it is expected to obtain valid mathematics learning media results. This type of research is development research that produces a product in the form of learning comics. The development of this comic uses the ADDIE model which consists of 5 stages, namely the Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation stages. The research subjects were class VII students of SMP N 20 Jambi City. Learning device validation was carried out by mathematics education experts and Indonesian language education experts. The overall validation results for comic media are very valid with a success rate of 85.52%. With this it can be concluded that the development of comic media with <em>Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) </em>nuances can be used as teaching material.</p> Teni Suriani Andi Kurnia Riski Sanneng Copyright (c) 2024 Teni Suriani, Andi Kurnia Riski Sanneng https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-02-01 2024-02-01 8 2 239 249 10.33541/edumatsains.v8i2.5466 NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF HOME OWNERSHIP LOANS BANK INTEREST RATES IN INDONESIA WITH NEWTON'S INTERPOLATION METHOD http://ejournal.uki.ac.id/index.php/edumatsains/article/view/5584 <p>The demand of the Indonesian society to own homes and properties is increasing along with the growth of Indonesia's population. This has led to an increase in population density, causing property prices to rise. The way to own property or a house in accordance with monthly income is by using bank housing loans. Three Indonesian banks renowned for housing loan applications, namely BTN, Mandiri, and BSI, were selected as samples in this study. These three banks have their own advantages and different bank interest rates. Therefore, this research was created as a tool for consumers to make decisions by considering the advantages obtained when applying for a loan at one of the three banks. This study employs the Newton's interpolation method to generate formulas that can help solve consumer problems. The results of this study generally indicate that Mandiri bank has an advantage in terms of lower installment costs compared to BTN and BSI.</p> Bela Desy Natalia Candra Ditasona Ruth Ririn Vania Kornelius Anugrah Zebua Copyright (c) 2024 Bela Desy Natalia, Candra Ditasona, Ruth Ririn Vania, Kornelius Anugrah Zebua https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-02-01 2024-02-01 8 2 250 260 10.33541/edumatsains.v8i2.5584 NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF RICE GROWTH PHASES IN KARAWANG USING THE GAUSS-JORDAN ELIMINATION METHOD http://ejournal.uki.ac.id/index.php/edumatsains/article/view/5595 <p>Indonesia's growth cannot be separated from Indonesia's economic growth. The agricultural sector has a massive and significant&nbsp; impact on Indonesia's economic growth. One of the agricultural products that’s important is rice. Rice is a seasonal crop that is very necessary for human survival. Karawang, one of the districts in West Java Province, which is known as Lumbung Padi City, is the location of the main topic in making this journal. In fact, based on BPS data, the area harvested for paddy fields in Karawang from 2010-2015 was found not to have increased regularly from year to year. This is interesting to discuss because the rice harvest area is expected to increase regularly to support Indonesia's economic growth. Of course, this is because the rice harvest area will affect the amount of rice produced in the rice fields. By ignoring other internal and external factors of rice growth, this journal will only focus on rice harvest area based on rice growth phases (vegetative 1, vegetative 2, and generative) and accumulated harvest area using the Gauss Jordan elimination method. Calculations are carried out to determine the possibility of farmers to predict the maximum amount of rice production and avoid losses in purchasing materials to support rice growth</p> Ruth Ririn Vania Siregar Santri Chintia Purba Bela Desy Natalia Kornelius Anugrah Zebua Copyright (c) 2024 Ruth Ririn Vania Siregar, Santri Chintia Purba, Bela Desy Natalia, Kornelius Anugrah Zebua https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-02-02 2024-02-02 8 2 261 269 10.33541/edumatsains.v8i2.5595 DEVELOPING AN INSTRUMENT FOR RELATIONAL UNDERSTANDING ABILITY TEST AND INTERVIEW GUIDELINES http://ejournal.uki.ac.id/index.php/edumatsains/article/view/5043 <p>The development of this research instrument aims to produce an instrument for assessing the ability of relational understanding in the matter of two-variable linear equations (PLDV). The form of the research being carried out is research and development (Research and Development) in order to produce products measuring students' relational understanding abilities. The research location is at SMPN 37 Pekanbaru in the even semester of the 2022/2023 academic year. The object of research is an instrument for assessing the ability of relational understanding in class VIII<sup>2</sup>. The instrument for collecting data uses an instrument validation sheet. Data analysis shows that the 10 item items developed have a very valid category with an average of 0.83 and a reliability level of 0.92 which is in the very good category. In terms of difficulty level, half of the test instrument questions are in the category of moderate difficulty level and in the differentiating power of the questions, there are 4 questions that are in the bad category. So, basically questions that are appropriate for use in research are numbers 1,3,5,8 and 9.

This condition implies that the Lie algebra has even dimension. The research aims to identify and to contruct 2-step solvable exact symplectic Lie algebras of low dimension with explicit formulas for their one-forms and symplectic forms. For case of four-dimensional, we found that only one class among three classes is 2-step solvable exact symplectic Lie algebra. Furthermore, we also give more examples for case six and eight dimensional of Lie algebras with exact symplectic forms which is included 2-step solvable exact sympletic Lie algebras. Moreover, it is well known that a 2-step solvable Lie algebra equipped by an exact symplectic form is nothing but it is called&nbsp; a 2-step solvable Frobenius Lie algebra.</p> Edi Kurniadi Kankan Parmikanti Badrulfalah Badrulfalah Copyright (c) 2024 Edi Kurniadi, Kankan Parmikanti, Badrulfalah, Badrulfalah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-02-02 2024-02-02 8 2 284 292 10.33541/edumatsains.v8i2.5319 THE DEVELOPMENT OF ETHNOMATHEMATICS-BASED STUDENT WORKSHEETS (LKPD) IN MATHEMATICS FOR FOURTH GRADE STUDENTS http://ejournal.uki.ac.id/index.php/edumatsains/article/view/5336 <p>This study aims to determine the quality of Ethnomathematics-based math worksheet learning plans for fourth grade students of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah on the material circumference and area of flat shapes.
