The research aim is to create a calixarene-based nanosensor targeting paraaminobenzoic acid (PABA) using Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method. The properties of the LB film were assessed. The optical and optomechanical characteristics were examined with ultraviolet visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy and optical tweezers (OT). The host-guest binding energy was calculated using DFT method. Calix[4]arene (C4) and calix[8]arene (C8) solutions with concentration of 0.47 mM and 0.23 mM respectively, were prepared and different PABA concentrations (0.01 to 0.71 mM) was used to study the interactions. The thin films were optically analysed at wavelength of 250 to 400 nm. Microclusters with radii of 0.5-1.5 _m were optically trapped at various power density (0.23 to 2.49 MW/cm2). Complex_s binding energy were calculated using optimisation calculation. C4 and C8 monolayers effectively trapped PABA, resulting in 1:1 and 1:2 stoichiometry ratios. C8 was significantly more sensitive towards PABA, detecting eve.....

This study aims to develop a STEMDISLEARN module; to test the module's effectiveness on the critical thinking (CT) skills, collaboration skills, and achievement in the Differential Equations (DE) Course; and to test the relationships between CT and collaboration skills, the relationship between CT and achievement, and the relationship between achievement and collaboration. The research employs design development research to develop the module. A quasi-experimental design was used to test the module's effectiveness. The research sample involved 123 students who enrolled in the DE course in the Mathematics Education Program at a university in Surakarta; 64 students of the experimental group, and 59 students of the control group. A t-test was conducted to determine the module's effectiveness on the critical thinking (CT) skills, collaboration skills, and achievement. A Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to test the relationship between CT and collaboration, the relationship betwee.....

The future employability of Information Science graduates is uncertain. It is due to changing technology, volatility, and environmental development. The graduates' employability skills need to be strengthened from time to time. Thus, this study aims to identify the most desired employability skills of Information Science graduates in the future to ensure they are still relevant and meeting market demand. This study used qualitative methodology. Five-time Knowledge Cafe session was implemented to gather data from the interview session. There are 25 respondents have been involved in this study with a purposive sampling technique. For data analysis, grounded theory was applied. Atlas. ti Software has been used to analyse the data. Information Science Employability Skills Framework was developed to identify the most desired employability skills of Information Science graduates in the future. There are four categories, and one central category was created to represent the employability skil.....

Abstract: This study explores the effectiveness of a game-based learning tool, the *Ka Sa Ta Pa* game, in enhancing students’ understanding of *Vali Mikumidam* (strengthened consonant places) in Tamil grammar. Recognizing the challenges students face in mastering complex grammatical rules through traditional methods, this research introduces an interactive approach aimed at secondary school students studying Tamil as a language subject. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design with pre-tests and post-tests, the study evaluates the game's impact on students' comprehension and retention of *Vali Mikumidam*. Findings indicate a significant improvement in post-test scores, suggesting that the game fosters a better grasp of grammar through engaging and hands-on learning. The study highlights the potential of game-based tools to address specific language learning difficulties, providing insights for educators and policymakers in implementing innovative methods within the Tamil language curric.....
