Quality of life can be determined by the individual's perception of his current life, including his health condition. Among occupational diseases, degenerative diseases are the first cause of death, and metabolic syndrome is one of them. This study aims to describe the quality of life of pre-elderly workers (45-56 years) with the risk of metabolic syndrome (obesity, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and hyperglycemia) at PT. X. The research was conducted with a qualitative descriptive method. Data was collected by interview method and the results of medical check-up documents. The results showed that the respondents rated their quality of life quite well. They judged that his current physical condition was quite good. Respondents do not know that their current health condition can trigger degenerative diseases in the future if sedentary behavior is still ignored. Five of the seven respondents still do not exercise regularly and three of the seven respondents are active smokers with cigarette consumption of 3-20 cigarettes/day. The seven respondents did not pay enough attention to their food intake. Psychologically, respondents perceive their mental condition is very good, they perceive the work environment as a very comfortable place to build social relationships. More metabolic syndrome related support programs at PT X need to be offered to increase workers' awareness of their health status.

This research was conducted in order to improve the teaching material in the form of an educational CD for class VII SMP with material on physical and chemical changes (chemical reactions). The stages of research and improvement carried out include: (1) needs analysis, (2) product improvement stage, (3) feasibility study and trial stage. Analysis of the needs of class VII students of SMPN 8 Jakarta with 39 respondents was carried out with the results that 100% of respondents had used computers at relatively frequent intervals (79.92%). More than half of the respondents (66.67%) stated that the seventh grade science (chemistry) subject was quite difficult. The product improvement stage begins with a literature study to create teaching material content, and the production of teaching materials in the form of interactive CDs. Educational materials are made using Macromedia Flash interactive programming facility which includes animation of chemical reaction applications, chemical reaction processes, and practice questions with multiple choice questions. The time required for the contents of this learning CD is 15-20 minutes. The feasibility test phase carried out by material experts, media and teachers showed that the learning CDs developed were suitable for practical use. Meanwhile, small and large group experiments with class IX students of SMPN 8 Jakarta and SMP Terpadu Widya Duta Jakarta gave very good interpretation results, so it can be concluded that CD is used for learning materials on physical and chemical changes.

This study aims to improve the thinking skills of high-level students through the use of the 5E cycle learning model in class XI IPA students of SMA Negeri 2 Bagan Sinembah TP Riau 2020/2021 (PT) using the Kemmis and Mc.Taggart method to improve. The subjects of this study were 36 students of class XI IPA-1. This classroom action research was carried out in 2 cycles, with each cycle consisting of 1 session. Cycle I discusses the human excretory system, and Cycle II discusses disorders of the human excretory system. The data collection techniques used were tests of higher order thinking skills and teacher activity observation sheets in the application of the 5E cycle learning model and data analysis techniques with individual and classical percentage analysis. The results showed that the use of the 5E cycle learning model was able to improve high thinking skills (HOTS) of class XI science students at SMA Negeri Bagan Sinembah TP 2020/2021 Riau with a material removal system and increasing teacher activity in the learning process. The percentage of thinking ability (HOTS) from 50% in the first cycle increased to 67% in the second cycle in the good category, in the 85% cycle it increased to 92%, the percentage in the very good category was accepted.

This study aims to determine the increase in student learning outcomes after applying the Non-Example Example learning model with the Quiziz Educational Game media to improve student learning outcomes in the seventh grade Solar System material at Maria Goretti Kabanjahe Private Junior High School. The no-example example learning model with quiziz game media is a learning strategy that uses pictures and videos as a medium to convey subject matter with the help of quiziz educational games as a medium in delivering the test instruments carried out. The subjects of this study amounted to 26 students. This non-example example method uses pretest and posttest actions in cycle I and cycle II, in order to improve student learning outcomes. Gradually in the pre-test, the average learning score was still 46.92 with a mastery percentage of 23.07%, followed by the first cycle, it was found that the student learning average was 48.46 and the percentage of completeness was 38.46%, there was a slight increase from before experiment was carried out. Then it was further improved in the second cycle, the researchers found an average learning score of 70.90 with a completeness percentage of 77.27%, it can be said that the improvement in student learning outcomes is getting better and increasing.
