Teaching for active learning is an instructional strategy that has been shown to improve student achievement. Many of its advocates also stress its contribution to the development of democratic dispositions in school children. It has, therefore, become a popular reform intended to improve teaching and learning in schools around the world, including Indonesia, where it was a key component of training conducted in Aceh under the auspices of the USAID-funded Decentralized Basic Education 2 Project (DBE2). In order to gauge the extent to which teaching for active learning was being adopted in Aceh, a team of lecturers from Syiah Kuala University and the State Islamic Studies Institute in Banda Aceh conducted an action research project designed to identify the challenges faced by teachers attempting to teach for active learning in two elementary-level madrasahs as well as strategies that might assist them in that effort. The results of our research show that, while the initial training provided to teachers heightened their consciousness of teaching for active learning and inspired some to experiment with the new teaching methodology, teachers’ understanding and acceptance of active learning was still tentative and could be undermined without effective leadership and long term mentoring. Key Words: Active Learning, Teaching, Aceh, Madrasah

The antioxidant activity test of young and ripe Srikaya fruit extract (Annona Squamosa L.)  had been carried out by using the FRAP (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power) method. This study aims to determine the antioxidant activity of young and ripe srikaya fruit extract using the FRAP method by using qualitative and quantitative method. The research method used was FRAP (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power) which was based on a reduction reaction in an acid state towards a yellow Fe3+ (Potassium hexacyanoferat(III)) complex compound to become a bluish-green Fe2+ complex compound due to electron donors from antioxidant compounds. The result of the qualitative analysis of the antioxidant activity of young and ripe srikaya fruit extract was a change in color in the sample extracts of young and ripe Srikaya fruit due to the reduction reaction in an acid state towards the yellow-colored Fe3+ (Potassium hexacyanoferat(III)) complex compound to become a bluish-green Fe2+ complex compound. due to electron donor of antioxidant compounds. Quantitatively, the average antioxidant activity of samples of young and ripe srikaya fruit extract was respectively 7,448 mgAAE/g extract and 9,351 mgAAE/g extract. The result indicated that the antioxidant activity of ripe srikaya fruit was greater than that of young fruit. Based on the results of the analysis parameter testing the t-test, it can be concluded that there is a significant difference in the antioxidant activity of the young and ripe srikaya fruit extract (Annona squamosa L.).        The antioxidant activity test of young and ripe Srikaya fruit extract (Annona Squamosa L.)  had been carried out by using the FRAP (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power) method.

The traditional gold processing process in Paya Seumantok Village, Krueng Sabee District, Aceh Jaya Regency, Aceh Province, is carried out using the amalgamation method which still uses mercury in the process, so it poses a risk to the health of workers and the surrounding community. This study aims to obtain an overview of the clinical symptoms experienced by workers and the community around the gold processing area. This study uses qualitative research methods with the number of community respondents were 90 respondents, and the number of worker respondents were 10 workers. Based on the results, the common acute clinical symptoms experienced by the community were headache (48.6%), cough (39.6%), abdominal pain (37.8%), diarrhea (29.7%), and hip pain (25.2%). While the chronic clinical symptoms experienced by the majority of community respondents were headaches (47.7%), irritability (27.9%), insomnia (26.1%), muscle cramps (23.4%), and weight loss (20.7%). Moreover, the most common acute clinical symptoms experienced by workers were cough (8 respondents), pelvic pain, diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, and headaches were experienced by 7 respondents respectively. While for chronic clinical symptoms, the majority of workers experienced headaches and insomnia (8 respondents), irritability (6 respondents), anxiety (6 respondents), muscle cramps (5 respondents), and tremors (4 respondents). Based on the result, it can be concluded that the clinical symptoms encountered by the community and workers in the gold processing area have not shown clinical signs that are quite dangerous.

Buku ini hadir untuk menjawab kegelisahan banyak pihak atas memudarnya pengetahuan dan pengamalan terhadap nilai-nilai yang terpatri dalam diri sosok Syeikh Abdurrauf As-Singkili yang namanya disematkan menjadi Universitas Syiah Kuala. Lakap nama Syeikh Abdurrauf As-Singkili sebagai Syiah Kuala yang sering dibaca Syi’ah juga menjadi alasan lain hadirnya buku ini. Identitas penting Universitas Syiah Kuala adalah merujuk pada ulama besar sekaligus pendidik yang namanya dijadikan nama universitas ini, yaitu “Syiah Kuala” atau Syeikh Abdurrauf As-Singkili. Syiah (baca: Syiyah) artinya Syeikh atau ulama dan Kuala adalah lokasi tempat beliau membina pendidikan di muara Krueng Aceh. Beliau juga dikenal sebagai mufti Kerajaan Aceh Darussalam dalam 4 masa kesultanan berturut-turut. Beliau mewakili perkembangan dan spirit intelektual Aceh masa lalu untuk masa depan Aceh yang lebih baik.
