The Effectiness English Camp (A Model in Learning English as the Second Language)
Get PDFLanguage teachers are often encouraged to use creative teaching in the classroom and out door. The creative teaching and learning here is using the best method, media, technique, and learning stlye based the pupils are needed. Creative learning can be held in outdoor and indoor and learning stlye can be said as good, it is English camp. English camp is presented as socially and psychologically beneficial to learners, helping to relax them, to create a comfortable classroom atmospher, to create bonds classmates, to raise student interest, and simply to make learning more enjoyable. Using English camp in learning English as the second language is effective way to improve the students’ interest and ability because English camp is able to craete the learning becomes more varied and more vivid, feels the strain when learning can be reduced, creating communication that familiar, strech the nervous strained into rilex, and creating the attractiveness of learning. The purpose of the study is to find out the students’ interest and ability in English. The method used in this research was quasi-experimental design, it is assigned two groups namely experimental and control group. To collect the data, the researcher used three instruments, they are interview, participant observasition, and discourse analysis of the audiotaped and videotaped interaction. The result show that there is differences interest and ability before and after leaning English though English camp. Thus, it is recomended for all English teachers to improve students’ interesrest and English ability as the second language.
Undergraduate nursing students’ experience using the combination of Flipped Classroom and Jigsaw strategy
Get PDFSTIKES Suaka Insan Banjarmasin has been using the technique of Aronson Jigsaw as a cooperative learning by combining it together with flipped learning since the last semester. Earlier work by one of the authors suggested that Nursing students’ in STIKES Suaka Insan had lack of ability in terms of independent learning and did not enjoy their studying in the large group setting. Some publication revealed that Jigsaw strategy consider to enhance cooperative learning by making each student focus on particular topic and be more responsible towards the learning outcome. In support of the implementation of Jigsaw, flipped learning has a strength to present the new environment for the millennial. Hence, by combining flipped learning and jigsaw strategy (FLJ) approach will provide an opportunity for the students to become more independent and ready to answer the challenges for 21st century Nursing Education. The aims of this study were to determine the effectiveness of FLJ on students’ independent learning and determine the combination of FLJ trends among nursing students at STIKES Suaka Insan Banjarmasin. This study combined experimental and descriptive qualitative research design, participated 2 groups who were divided by randomization process totaling 64 students; 32 students in control group (interactive lecture) and 32 students in the experimental group (combination of flipped classroom and jigsaw strategy). The study administered 21 agreement statements regarding independent learning among two groups and it was analyzed using mann-whitney u test. In addition to quantitative approach it is also important that the study gives attention on the trends of flipped classroom and jigsaw strategy based on students’ perspective. Hence, 20 students in the experimental group were asked to join in focus group discussion (FGD). All the data in FGD were analyzed by content analysis. Mean Score for the control group was at 63.74 and mean score for the experimental group was at 72.56. The qualitative analysis revealed some characteristic of the learners who joined in FGD. It also showed the factors affecting their learning in FLJ which includes time, facilities specifically rooms and types of co-learners within their class.Findings revealed that the students in the experimental group gained higher score in their independent learning than the students in the control group. It indicated that teachers’ adoption of FJL for students’ learning activities is helpful for students to improve their independent learning. The findings provided the option for the nurse educators in STIKES Suaka Insan to develop FLJ by implementing its strategy and provide the nursing students to become more independent towards the learning outcome.
Hipertension in Adult Age and Related Risk Factors
Get PDFBackground: Hipertension is one of the signficant risk factors for further severe cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, the insidence of hipertension in adult age population has increased gradually. Thus, assessment of hipertension insidence and their risk factors in adult age people has given the beneficience for treating dan preventing program earlier. Aim: To analyze hipertension insidence in adult age and their risk factors that dominanly effect the occurance of hipertension. Method: This study was correlational with survey method. Accidental sampling was conducted to 120 respondents who live around Malioboro district. Hipertension was detected from sistole and diastole value, while the risk factors of hipertension were age, gender, family disease history, type of activity, the number of cigarette each day, the length of smoking, random blood glucose, and body mass index. Analyzing the data used Pearson correlation if data was normal, or used Spearman correlation if data was not normal. Findings: From 120 participants, mean of sistole pressure was 120,7 mmHg and mean of diastole pressure was 78,5 mmHg. Age mean was 39 years old, dominantly was woman amount 83 (69,2%), and without family disease history as 66 (55%). Mostly they had moderate physical activity amount 71 (59%). Mean of cigarette consumtion was 11 pieces/ day, for 23 years. Random blood glucose mean was 131 mg/dl and mean of body mass index was 26 kg/m2. Correlation analysis mentioned that body mass index had correlate with sistolic and diastolic value significantly (p< 0,05). Conclusion: Sistole and diastole pressure value in adult age were still normal. Risk factor that correlate significantly with adult age blood pressure was body mass index. Another risk factors such as cholesterol level, blood glucose in fasting condition and two hour post meal, also food consumtion were considered should be included in next study.

From the weight variation the catalyst is done (5:1, 5:2, and 5:3) the volume of product that most i.e. in the ratio of raw materials and catalyst 5:2. At later stages done temperature variations in the ratio of raw materials and optimum catalyst (5:2) i.e. 450, 550, and 650°C. From the results of the experiment produced optimum temperature i.e. 550°C with product volume 220 ml. Based on the results of the analysis of such product approaching nature physical on diesel fuel with the density of the product of 0.815-0.88 gr/ml, and the heat value of the product is at the range 10496,18-14227,93 cal/gr.
Implementation of Spatial Hybrid Concept in Sustainable City Growth in Urban Sprawl Periphery Case Study: Border Area Surabaya with Sidoarjo Regency
Get PDFThe growth of a city is closely related to population growth and urbanization process which will result in the increasingly difficult population to live in the city center. Intensive urban growth (inner city compaction) becomes less effective which results in extensive urban growth (out-of-town development). This situation triggered the acceleration of urban development towards the periphery. The city grew broader and seemed always unbounded.The strongest characteristic of suburban growth is sprawl growth. The growth process towards the outskirts of the city or Urban Sprawl has negative impacts (Polidoro, et al., 2011), among others uneven distribution of the population, decreased agricultural land area, the emergence of traffic congestion and discontinuity . Findings on how to overcome sprawl in the suburbs have been done, but still do not find the best solution to mitigate these negative impacts (Setioko, 2009). The uniqueness of the suburbs is in relation to the dependence on the metropolitan centers (Delik Hudalah, et al 2007). The city center is understood as an established region with intensive growth (compaction). Centered compaction tends to be seen as one way to achieve sustainable urban forms (Stan A, 2013). On the other hand, rural areas already have a clear form of identity typically dominated by agricultural land. While urban-periphery is right between the city center and the rural areas with a vagueness of form. The above conditions indicate that the urban periphery is always viewed in a bad position, while in reality the existence of the border area from time to time still exist and survive against the existing conditions. This can lead to hypotheses as well as a new understanding that border areas can have meaning or positions as sustainable cities, although initially viewed as urban sprawl. Sustainable urban development is defined as an effort to improve the quality of life of the city and its citizens without causing a burden for future generations due to the depletion of natural resources and environmental degradation (Urban 21, Global Conference in Berlin, July 2000). The concept of spatial hybrid (Gordon and Richardson, 1998) in detail can be indicated as a sustainable urban development that overcomes urban sprawl problems in urban periphery. Specifically selected cases of Surabaya-Sidoarjo suburban areas as testing factors associated with suburban areas as the application of the concept of spatial hybrid that makes the periphery is still sustainable. The selection of border areas of Sidoarjo Regency with Surabaya City in this study because the readiness of the condition of the land there is more possible than the other Surabaya edge.
The Study of Speech Acts in Press Releases of International Technology Trade Fairs
Get PDFThe research aimed to study speech acts in press releases of international technology trade fairs. The conceptual framework of the study was Searle’s speech act theory (1969), and the hypothesis was that five speech act classes – 1) representatives 2) commissives 3) directives 4) declarations and 5) expressives would be found in the press releases. For samples and data collection, 30 press releases of the international technology trade fairs during 2013-2017 from their websites, the channel provided for press and media to access news and information widely and easily, were collected because of being highly supported during this four years. For data analysis, speech act classes, paradigm cases – the sub-group of speech act classes, and directness of speech act were analyzed and discussed. The results showed that all five speech act classes were found in the contents, and this followed the researcher’s hypothesis. Representatives were chosen most for the press releases in the highest level at 54.83% while directives and expressives were expressed least at the same level of 6.45%. However, although there are many paradigms in each speech act class, only a few ones were used in the contents. This might be due to the need in concise and relevant purposes and information in business field, and also time and page limitation for the news in press releases. The result reflected that information showing fact and true about the trade fairs were highly needed, and the irrelevant information were mostly discarded. Furthermore, direct speech act was needed for press releases to show the purposes and information of the fair, and it was showed in every speech act class. The findings also reflected the correlation between the business characters in conciseness and relevance and the speech acts in press releases that were clear and direct.
Feeding Habits of Asian Green Mussel (Perna viridis): A Case Study from Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand
Get PDFThis study is aimed to evaluate the impact of habitat on feeding habits and food selectivity of Asian green mussel Perna viridis collected from three different habitats including Suratthani and Trang provinces of Thailand and Aceh of Indonesia. Samples were collected between July and December 2016, and April 2017, respectively. Samples, 300 mussels, were collected by handpicking from the wild brought back to the laboratory for further investigation. It was found that P. viridis is omnivorous, feeding on a wide range of phytoplankton and zooplankton. Overall, Coscinodiscus was the major food item (41.78%), followed by mussel larvae (21.74%) and Nitzschia (6.58%). Mussels from different habitats ingested different food item. Result from ANOVA indicated that habitat highly affected both on total count and total item of food fed by P. viridis (P<0.0001). They also demonstrated specific food selection based on availability of food resources in the habitats they reside. This finding helps in understanding how P. viridis feeds and selects food in nature from three different localities.

This research uses qualitative research method with descriptive research type. The collecting methods used were interviews and observations to obtain primary data and literature studies to obtain secondary data from publications related to the demolition of Radio Bung Tomo cultural heritage. The method of analysis is inductive that begins from data collection then the researchers do the categorization. The results of this study found several problems related to the demolition of Radio Bung Tomo among them is the coordination of inter-stakeholder has not been established maximally because there is no clear path in the management of cultural heritage, the foundation of policy at the regional level does not refer to the policy at the central level (in this case Surabaya City against Cultural Heritage Act), and lack of supervision from the Surabaya Heritage Reserve Team. Therefore, the necessary policy alternatives include strengthening coordination among related institutions, the revision of regional regulations No. 5 of 2005, as well as the restructuring of the cultural preservation team of Surabaya.
Akit Tribe and Existence of Mangrove Forest in Berancah Village, Bengkalis, Indonesia
Get PDFTotal Area of Mangrove Forest in Berancah Village is about 60 Hectares; 40 Hectares in damaged condition and 20 hectares in good condition. Mangrove forest is utilized by the Akit Tribe who occupies the Berancah Village area, Bantan District of Bengkalis for Panglong Arang industry, by using mangrove wood as raw material of charcoal. Economically Akit Tribe utilizes mangrove forest as a source of livelihood in fulfilling their needs. The majority of Akit people in Bantan District work as mangrove seekers, panglong workers and panglong charcoal owners. This shows that the Akit Tribe's dependence on the mangrove forest is very high, but most people are not paying attention to the sustainability of the forest so that the damage of mangrove forest is quite severe. Socially Akit people use panglong charcoal as a medium of socializing, gathering and sharing information. To meet the economic needs of the Akit community, the utilization of mangrove trees into charcoal has become a hereditary profession from the community of the Akit tribe, its is seen from the continuity of panglong charcoal activity. The social and economical conditions of those Akit people are analyzed using Quasy Qualitatif by interviewing tribe leader (Batin) and tribe figure in the Akit tribe. So obtained the meaning of mangrove forest conservation for the Akit and their social balance conditions are maintained.
