Applying Sharing Session in Encouraging and Motivating Students in Language Learning Class
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to analyze the importance of sharing sessions in encouraging and motivating students in the language learning class. Not all of the students are active in the class, some students are passive in the class because of some factors. When the teacher asks the question, students preferably keep silent in the class. They are becoming passive participants in the class because they do not know the topic and feel unconfident to speak in front of others.  They are becoming afraid to speak because they do not feel comfortable in the class situation and condition. They do not have good socialization in the class like they do not respond well and give feedback in the class. For this problem, this paper attempts to analyze how to apply the sharing session steps in language learning class and what are the benefits of applying them.  The teacher can give motivation like intrinsic or extrinsic motivation in a sharing session class which also can encourage students in language learning class. This paper applies qualitative research analysis and also a descriptive method to describe the finding. Two steps can be used to apply sharing sessions in encouraging and motivating students in the language learning class. The first step is to choose the learning materials that are appropriate for the learners, and the second step is to create good classroom management. This paper finally underlines that the use of applied learning materials that are appropriate with the learners and create good classroom management can improve students’ confidence, and it makes them be the independent learners in the classroom
THE ROLE OF PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING MODELS IN GEOGRAPHY LEARNING IN BUILDING STUDENT ECOLITERACY
No full textEcoliteracy can be said to be ecological literacy or environmental literacy where humans have a high level of awareness of the importance of the environment for life. Problem Based Learning model is a learning model by presents real problems that are happening so that the model can be used in geography learning. Geography itself is a science that studies the interaction between humans and their environment, the existence of geography learning can make it easier for teachers to grow ecoliteracy in students. Cognitive knowledge of students increases where they can remember to the ability to solve problems, affective, namely the attitude of students has led to protecting the environment and for their own psychomotor students already have the desire to act such as throwing garbage in its place and doing things related to cleanliness at school .

Lentiviral shRNA Construction in Gene Therapy for Knock Down CYPIA1, and YWHAZ gene in Lung Cancer
No full textLung cancer is a disease that is in the top 10 causes of death globally. It is caused by CYP1A1 and YWHAZ genes expressed in the lungs. One of the solutions offered for lung cancer sufferers is gene therapy. Gene therapy for lung cancer is focused on the knock-down of expressed CYP1A1 and YWHAZ genes. It can be using shRNA transfected into lung cells by lentivirus. The lentivirus envelope is modified using glycoprotein filovirus, one of which is ebolavirus. Lentivirus pseudotyping can recognize certain cells. Especially, Ebolavirus can recognize lung cells. The lentiviral gene is designed to carry the gene of interest (shRNA) but no the infectious gene. The shRNA gene transfused into lung cancer cells will recognize and complement the specific target mRNA sites of the CYP1A1 and YWHAZ genes. After that, shRNA will cut the mRNA which should be expressed into a cancer protein. Unexpressed mRNA into protein causes cancer cell growth inhibited. Thus, this gene therapy solution is expected to be able to reduce the rate of death caused by lung cancer. Keywords: Lung cancer, CYP1A1 and YWHAZ genes, gene therapy, lentiviral, shRN
