No full textExpressing opinions is one of the activities in kindergarten to develop children's basic abilities. The aim of this research is to find out whether storytelling in learning can improve the ability to express opinions of children in group A of the Swan National School Kindergarten. This activity uses the Classroom Action Research (PTK) method which is divided into 2 cycles with each cycle lasting 5 days. In improving the learning, 17 students in group A of the Swan National School Kindergarten were observed, they were motivated to be able to express their opinions through storytelling activities. The results obtained from all 17 Swan National School Kindergarten group A students in cycle I showed that there were 7 children who achieved very good development, and 6 children developed according to expectations. In the second cycle, improvement results were obtained, namely 11 children developed very well and 4 children developed as expected. Based on the data obtained, there was an increase in the ability to express opinions in group A of the Swan National School Kindergarten, namely from 76.5% in cycle I to 86% in cycle II, so it can be concluded that through storytelling activities it was quite successful in increasing children's ability to express opinions. Therefore, this research was carried out in only two cycles, in order to maximize storytelling activities, so that the ability to express opinions can achieve satisfactory results. Apart from that, it is hoped that teachers will be more creative in finding fun teaching methods and in the end learning objectives can be achieved.Â

There were 1) students used the new vocabulary in speaking for easily remember the vocabulary, 2) students used mirror in speaking English fluently, 3) students checked the correct pronunciation on an online dictionary, 4) students asked a friend for helping them if they forgot the vocabulary, 5) students looked for the native speakers in improving their pronunciation, and 6) students made a small note to write the new vocabulary. In additional the interview data showed that there were some aspects of the speaking skill, namely vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, pronunciation, and grammar. Then the researcher got information from the interview about the aspect of speaking skill that mostly developed by the students is vocabulary. There were 4 students from 5 students chose vocabulary as an aspect that mostly developed by the students
The Effect of Giving Red Fruit Oil (Pandanus Conoideus Lam.) on Degeneration and Necrosis Levels of Mice Hepatocyte (Mus musculus) Exposed to Plumbum
No full textPlumbum exposure is known can induce excessive production of Reactive Oxygen Species (R.O.S.) and cause oxidative stress on the cell. Oxidative stress can cause disorders in the body's organs, one of which is the liver organ. The study aims to determine the effect of giving red fruit oil as a protection against the exposure of plumbum at the rate of degeneration and cell necrosis of the liver. Red fruit oil contains antioxidant compounds beta carotene and tocopherol that function as antidotes to free radicals to prevent oxidative stress. This study was conducted for 14 days with four treatments. Namely P0 (negative control), P1 (positive control given exposure to plumbum at a dose of 0, 01mg), P2 (0.3 ml oil of red Fruit and exposure to plumbum at a dose of 0, 01mg), and P3 (0.8 ml of red fruit oil and exposure to plumbum at a dose of 0, 01mg). Determination of the level of degeneration and necrosis of liver cells is done by looking at the hematoxylin-eosin (HE) preparation of mice's liver under the microscope with magnification 400x. This study showed that the red fruit oil at a dose of 0.3ml and 0.8ml increased the effect on degeneration and necrosis of a mice's liver cell exposure to plumbum

Fourth, the relationship between the community and the government is good, the government has facilitated in terms of flood disaster management. Government policy
Effect of Additional Herbal Mix on Feed on Physical Quality of Broiler Meat
No full textPhysical characteristics or physical properties of meat include pH, cooking loss, and texture, while organoleptic qualities include color, taste, texture, and aroma.These factors will simultaneously determine the quality of meat in livestock. This study aims to determine the effect of giving a combination of herbs, mineral zinc, expired milk powder, and vitamin C on the physical quality of broiler meat. This research was conducted at the Samata Integrated Farming System (SIFS), Jalan Veteran Bakung, Samata Village, Gowa Regency. Physical quality testing of meat was carried out at the Laboratory of Animal Products Technology, Universitas Islam Negeri Alauddin Makassar. The research design used in this study was a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments and five replications, each replication consisting of 2 broilers with treatment P0= commercial feed (Control), P1 = commercial feed + 1% herbs, P2= commercial feed + 2% herbs and P3= commercial feed + 3% herbs. Meat sampling was carried out on day 35 for analysis of physical quality including pH value, cooking loss, and meat tenderness. Data analysis used analysis of variance (ANOVA) and continued with Duncan's test. The results showed that the addition of a combination of mixed herbs to broiler feed had a significant effect (P0.05) on pH but had no significant effect (P0.05) on cooking loss and meat tenderness. Duncan’s test results showed that the pH value with P0 treatment was significantly different (P0.05) with P1, P2, and P3. All the treatments with different percentages of the herbal mix did not show significant differentiation between them
In Vitro Antibacterial Activities of Noni Fruit (Morinda citrifolia L.) Ethanolic Extract against Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium
No full textThis research aimed to examine the in vitro antibacterial activity of noni fruit extract (NE) against the growth of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhymurium bacteria. The study was carried out for 3 weeks from April to May 2022. The study used Completely Randomized Design (CRD) which consisted of 6 treatments and each treatment was replicated 3 times so that there were 18 experimental units. The treatments used were: P1 = 5% NE concentration P2 = 15% NE concentration, P3 = 25% NE concentration, P4 = 35% NE concentration, P5 = NE concentration 45%, and P6 = 55% NE concentration. The parameters observed in this study were the physical characteristics of noni fruit extract and its antibacterial activity. The results of the study showed that noni fruit extract had a significant effect (P0.05) on the growth of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhymurium bacteria. A concentration of 55% was the most effective concentration in inhibiting the growth of the two tested bacteria
Characterization of M8 Wheat Mutant Adaptability to Low Land
No full textThe wheat requirement in Indonesia is still fulfilled by import, which increases annually. To reduce the import dependence, Indonesia is required to elevate the domestic wheat production appropriate to the Indonesian agroclimatic condition by wheat plant breeding mutation. This study was aimed to characterize several mutant wheat commodities, that are adaptive to lowland condition. Â The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized block design with 16 observed-wheat genotypes (G). The wheat genotypes used were: 1) (G1) N1 200 2.4.B.6, 2) (G2) N 200 2.3.3, 3) (G3) N 200 2.5.2, (G4) N 350 3.6.2, (G5) N 350 3.7.1, (G6) N 300 3.6.1, (G7) N 350 3.1.3, (G8) N 250 3.7.1, (G9) M 200 1.7.1, (G10) S 300 7.9.1, (G11) S 300 2.1, (G12) D 200, and several comparative varieties, such as (G13) Guri-3, (G14) Selayar, (G15) Nias, and (G16) Dewata. The results obtained that the lowland-adapted M8 wheat mutant with high productivity level was found in N 200 2.4.B.6 (2.75 t.ha-1), N 200 2.3.3 (2.69 t.ha-1), and D 350 3.6.2 (2.35 t.ha-1). Characters with the highest heritability level were number of tillers, number of productive tillers, seed weight per panicle, and production. Meanwhile, characters, that were correlated with production, were plant height, number of tillers, number of productive tillers, harvesting age, seed-filling period, number of spikelets per panicle, percentage of empty florets, number of seeds per panicle, and seed weight per panicl
