The Immunomodulator Effects of Biosynthetic Nanosilver Based on Immunoglobulin G Level of Mice Induced by Measles Vaccine Compared with Immunostimulant Agent
Get PDFInulin is a carbohydrate class contained in gembili tuber (Dioscorea esculenta (Lour.) Burkill) as a source of prebiotics to maintain immunity. Inulin can be used as a nanosilver bioreductor and increase the solubility of gembili's inulin. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of gembili's inulin nanosilver as an immunomodulator based on IgG levels of vaccine-induced Mice. Nanosilver at doses of 2 mg/KgBW, 4 mg/KgBW, 8 mg/KgBW, and 12 mg/KgBW was compared with synthetic immunostimulants to observe the type of immunomodulatory activity. This research was conducted in several stages, including the biosynthesis process, characterization, determination of nanosilver dose, animal conditioning, animal treatments, taking blood from retro-orbital sinuses, and ELISA reader. Blood serum obtained from the animals was analyzed for IgG levels using Mice IgG ELISA Kit and Spectrophotometer UV-VIS. The pH variation test was also conducted in this study which aims to determine the stability of the nanosilver solution at pH 8, 10, and 12. The results of the ELISA reader showed that the dose of 4 mg/KgBW. had the highest Optical Density value compared to other doses. Then, the comparison with synthetic immunostimulants produces p values of 0.13 0.05, which is not significantly different. Nanosilver inulin at 4 mg/KgBW. is the chosen dose as an immunomodulator with immunostimulant activity. The stability results showed that increasing pH changes do not affect the pH change of gembili's inulin nanosilver solution. It is because nanosilver's pH control and adjustment are still in the alkaline range
ROLE OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING ENJOYMENT ON BURNOUT AND RESILIENCE: RESULTS FROM EFL TEACHERS
Get PDFForeign language teachers often face distinct challenges in their professional journey, which can lead to burnout and decreased resilience. Foreign Language Teaching Enjoyment (FLTE) is an emotion that can help teachers overcome such challenges and difficulties. This study firstly examines the relationship between EFL teachers’ FLTE and their burnout, and secondly explores the relationship between EFL teachers’ FLTE and their resilience. The study also investigates the influence of EFL teachers’ FLTE on their burnout. The participants were 204 Iranian EFL teachers, comprising 140 females and 64 males. In the data collection, the participants responded to three online questionnaires, namely the Foreign Language Teaching Enjoyment Scale (FLTES), the Burnout Scale, and the Resilience Scale. The results of Pearson product-moment correlation indicated that EFL teachers’ FLTE was associated with both their burnout and their resilience. Moreover, the regression analysis showed that EFL teachers’ FLTE significantly predicted their burnout. The findings can help teachers set up a successful teaching and learning environment by boosting their sense of well-being. Education stakeholders can also utilize these findings to improve job satisfaction.
A Self-Confident Profile: An Analysis of the Novel The Old Man and the Sea
Get PDFThis analysis examines Ernest Hemingway's classic novel, The Old Man and the Sea, through the lens of the self-confident profile portrayed by the protagonist, Santiago. The study delves into the themes of perseverance, man versus nature, isolation, and pride to unravel Santiago's unwavering self-assurance in the face of adversity. Through an exploration of the novel's characters, including Santiago and his young apprentice Manolin, as well as the symbolic representation of the marlin and the sea, the analysis reveals the nuances of Santiago's self-confidence and its impact on his actions and relationships.

Negotiating Patriarchal Relationship: Representation of Subjectification in Doja Cat’s Woman (2021) Music Video
Get PDFThis study aims to illustrate the subjectification of women's bodies as one of the notions of postfeminist sensibility. Subjectification involves depicting women in a patriarchal setting as empowered individuals with agency, highlighting their reservoirs of strength and spheres of influence, challenging the perception of complete powerlessness. The object of investigation in this study is the music video by Doja Cat entitled "WOMAN" (2021), with a primary focus on examining the dynamic interaction among female talents within the context of the surrounding characters and environment. The author employs textual and visual analysis with qualitative methods and Fiske's Television Culture. In terms of theory, the analysis of the objects was supported by drawing upon Rosalind Gill's postfeminist sensibility. The study's analysis reveals that female talents, initially characterized by power and agency, faces a threat in the presence of patriarchy. This compels them to leverage their bodies and traditional roles as tools for negotiation. This study finds out that subjectification also can be an effort for women to negotiate patriarchal relationships as the bodies were used as tools to assert control and authority over the opposite sex without engaging as an object instead as a subject. This also counters the typical male gaze that makes women look passive or disempowered
Simbolisasi bunga mawar dalam cerita pendek "Siapa Kirim Aku Bunga?" karya Eka Kurniawan: Analisis dekonstruksi
Get PDFTulisan ini memuat pembacaan dekonstruktif atas sebuah karya sastra, yakni cerita pendek “Siapa Kirim Aku Bunga?” karya Eka Kurniawan. Sebagai sebuah kajian kualitatif diberdayakan metodologi filsafat, yaitu dekonstruksi, sebagai langkah metodis. Tujuannya, untuk memecah kebekuan makna oleh pemaknaan tunggal yang diusung oleh ideologi teks “Siapa Kirim Aku Bunga?”, utamanya terkait simbolisasi bunga mawar dan makna lain yang mengikutinya. Secara metodis, analisis berjalan dengan: (1) menentukan pusat teks, (2) inventarisasi oposisi-oposisi biner, (3) membalik hierarki metafisik, serta (4) mendiseminasi makna. Pada hasil pembacaan kritis yang digelar, teridentifikasi “bunga mawar sebagai tanda ungkapan cinta” menjadi pusat teks sekaligus pemaknaan lumrah dan prioritas payung oposisi biner, yang ditopang oleh sederet binaritas, di antaranya: “Eropa/Non Eropa”, “Noni/Gadis lokal”, “Pemerintah Hindia Belanda/Warga masyarakat lokal”, “Sopan/Tidak sopan”, “Pantas/Sembrono”, “Sama/Berbeda”, “Kolonial/Bumiputera”, “Pejabat/Jongos”, “Setelan Eropa/Kebaya Jawa”, “Normal/Aneh”. Ditegaskan bunga dan bunga mawar sebagai suatu undécidable atau ambiguitas, yang darinya lahir pembalikan atas hierarki metafisik pada binaritas yang ada, yang kemudian lewat diseminasi, ketunggalan makna berhasil didobrak. Hasilnya, bunga mawar tidaklah lagi sekadar dimaknai sebagai tanda/ungkapan cinta, melainkan berdasarkan logika internal teks sendiri dapat pula merentangkan signifikasi yang sebelumnya terabaikan, seperti: bunga mawar sebagai representasi rasa subversif dan perlawanan, makna keringnya cinta, atau perwujudan dari realitas pascakolonial seperti mimikri. Pembacaan dekonstruktif yang dilakukan juga berhasil mengangkat eksistensi krusial bunga mawar sebagai aktan atau agen non-manusia lewat pluralitas posibilitas simbolisasi yang dimungkinkannya. Pada akhirnya, melalui analisis atas cerita pendek ini juga berhasil diperlihatkan bagaimana metodologi filsafat seperti dekonstruksi diberdayakan untuk membuka pembacaan kritis atas teks secara lebih luas dan radikal
“TELANG TEA TIME”, MINUMAN SEHAT PENANGKAL HIPERTENSI
Get PDFHypertension is characterized by blood pressure above 140/90 mmHg and is an alarm of hemodynamic imbalance in the body. Hypertension is a silent killer. One of the efforts that can be made to stabilize blood pressure is by consuming telang (Clitoria ternatea L.) flower herbal drinks. The high antioxidant content in telang flowers is beneficial for health. To introduce the benefits of flowers to the community, community service activities were carried out in Tunge Village, Kediri Regency. This community service was carried out using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method with a total of 238 participants. The community service was carried out in July-August 2024. It was divided into three activity groups. In each implementation, the activity was divided into six stages, namely: health screening, pretest, hypertension education, demonstration of making telang flower tea, tester, and testimony, then was closed with a post-test. There were several results obtained from the implementation of the community service activities, which were the increase in residents' knowledge about hypertension, the benefits of Clitoria ternatea L. flowers for health, and how to process Clitoria ternatea L. flowers into herbal drinks that are efficacious for health. In the processing into herbal drinks, the flower can be combined with other herbal ingredients to obtain other properties and a more delicious taste

PELATIHAN BAHASA INGGRIS MELALUI LAGU BAHASA INGGRIS DI UPT SD INPRES 6/80 LATELLANG
Get PDFEnglish learning is no longer taught as a local content program at UPT SD Inpres 6/80 Latellang because the curriculum that originally applied KTSP was changed to the 2013 curriculum. English subjects were not removed from the 2013 curriculum but are also not required in every elementary school. This caused the children at UPT SD Inpres 6/80 Latellang to be unfamiliar with English. The method of implementing this English training uses a service learning method assisted by ATK media and speakers. The results show that most students feel interested in teaching English through songs. This is evidenced by the increased memory related to the material being taught and the student’s interest in learning English

Kelenteng Kong Fuk Nio dan Masjid Jami Muntok dalam Worldview Toleransi Kota Muntok
Get PDFThe long history of ethnic and religious tolerance in Indonesia has always tended to tell a story about expressions of indifference, and even hidden persuasiveness, which scrutinizes the problems of large organizations such as religion and culture. By concentrating on two contiguous places of worship of two religious’ communities in Muntok City, West Bangka, this article strives to identification from a side that is rarely exposed. The observation, interviews, and the acquisition of literature data elucidate how the application of amalgamated components in the two places of worship is a product of tolerance practices negotiated in the past hence it is of utmost significance to refrain from disregarding this historical substance through the interpretation of anomalous forms or idealized occasionalism. Thus, through Rainer Forst's concept of "Toleration", this article attempts to provide research significance to comprehending the concept of tolerance by discussing the relationship between physical cultural relics and tolerance practices to gain the worldview of the cultural proprietors. In this discourse, the presence of a building that represents a form of tolerance in a region is not only seen from its physical appearance, but also by careful consideration of the intangible relationships that operate in the realm of history and societal change.AbstrakSejarah panjang toleransi dari keragaman etnis dan agama di Indonesia senantiasa memiliki kecenderungan untuk menceritakan sebuah kisah mengenai ungkapan ketidakpedulian dan keterpaksaan, yang menganalisis permasalahan dari organisasi besar seperti agama dan budaya. Dengan mengambil fokus pada dua tempat peribadatan dari dua umat beragama yang berdampingan di Kota Muntok, Bangka Barat, artikel ini akan mencoba mengidentifikasi dari sisi yang jarang terekspos. Hasil observasi, wawancara dan perolehan data literatur, menunjukkan bagaimana penerapan elemen yang dipadukan pada dua bangunan peribadatan tersebut merupakan produk dari praktik toleransi yang dinegosiasikan di masa lampau sehingga penting sekali untuk tidak mengabaikan sejarah material ini dengan memaknai toleransi pada bentuk yang anomali, perpaduan yang kebetulan, atau oksidentalisme yang diidealkan. Melalui, konsepsi “Toleration” dari Rainer Forst, artikel ini mencoba untuk memberikan signifikasi penelitian terhadap konsep toleransi dengan mendiskusikan relasi antara artefak budaya fisik dan praktik toleransi serta worldview (pandangan-dunia) masyarakat pemiliknya. Dalam artikel ini, keberadaan sebuah bangunan yang digunakan untuk merepresentasikan toleransi dalam sebuah wilayah, tidak serta merta melihat secara fisik saja, namun harus juga melihat relasi-relasi nonfisik yang bergerak dalam dimensi sejarah maupun perkembangan masyarakatnya.
