The Analysis of Transitivity System in Tourism Destination Brochure Based on Systemic Functional Linguistic
Get PDFThe effectiveness of using language in a brochure is not something that easy to interpret. Information and understanding must be clear and concrete. A good and correct brochure from Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) perspective is objectivity that can be understood in terms of appropriate content. The application of SFL in daily activities may simplify the meaning of text sentences so that people could decipher the meaning carefully and minimize misunderstanding the meaning of the related texts. The research was intended to: (1) identify and analyze a transitivity system in the tourism destination brochure of Dinas Kebudayaan, Kepemudaan Olahraga dan Pariwisata Kabupaten Sumenep (2) find out the dominance of the process type in the ideational metafunction in the language used in the brochure. This research was supported by the theory of Halliday and Matthiessen (2004). This study used a qualitative description to develop a research index in terms of analyzing, describing, and agglomerating the existing brochure at the Gili Labak tourism destination, Sumenep, Madura. The results found that transitivity systems have a role to make meanings in a clause and the relational process was the dominant type of process involved in the brochures. This research is expected to be a reference for further research by discussing Systemic Functional Linguistics thus it becomes the data that has solutions for the application of language that parses through processes in ideational metafunction
The Use of Picture Storybooks in Blended-based Learning Method to Teach Literacy to Young Learners
Get PDFThis study aims to investigate the implementation of picture storybooks integrated with the blended learning method through LMS for young learners in fourth-grade students in English literacy learning. In this study, the researchers used an experimental design. The research chosen by the researchers is a post-test-only control group design. Document analysis and statistical analysis of students’ score was used to compare their literacy skills. The research sample was 70 fourth-grade students at SDN 3 Banjar Jawa Singaraja. The results showed that there were significant differences in students’ score while they learned English literacy using picture storybooks integrated with the blended-based learning method. The data obtained then tested using the independent sample t-test, the result showed sig. (2-tailed) is 0.011, which the observed significant level (sig. 2-tailed) is smaller than the standard alpha level (α=0.05). From the result obtained also showed that the use of picture storybooks integrated with the blended learning methods can help students learn in English literacy teaching. Therefore, the use of picture storybooks integrated with the blended-based learning methods is highly recommended because it has a significant influence on English literacy learning for young learners, besides it can also create fun and effective learning
An Experimental Study on The Impact of Digital Multilingual Thematic Dictionary for The Sixth Grade Students’ Literacy Skill
Get PDFThis research aims to present justification for whether or not there is any significant impact of using a digital multilingual thematic dictionary on sixth-grade students’ literacy skills using quasi-experimental research with a pre-test and post-test only control group design. The researcher determined the research sample using statistical matching scores proposed by Fraenkel et al. (2012). The statistical matching scores were administered in determining the two intact groups. Two intact groups which had similar scores and were statistically proven to have insignificant differences in abilities were selected as the research sample, namely; (1) SD N 1 Kubutambahan was the control group, and (2) SD N 3 Banjar Jawa was the experimental group. The instruments used in this research were literacy skill tests which contain pre-test and post-test questions, and teaching scenarios for the control and experimental group. The pre-test was given before treatment and the post-test was given after treatment. Both groups received three times of treatments with three materials namely home activities, animals, and public places. The obtained data were analyzed quantitatively with descriptive statistical, inferential statistical, and N-Gain score test analysis. Based on the results of the calculation of the N-Gain Score test and the descriptive analysis, the mean score of the N-Gain for the experimental group was 73.3759%, while the mean score of the N-Gain for the control group was 48.0249%. The results of the N-Gain score test show that the use of the digital multilingual thematic dictionary in the experimental group was moderately effective, while the use of the printed thematic picture dictionary in the control group was less effective. Thus, it can be concluded that the digital multilingual thematic dictionary performs better than a printed thematic picture dictionary on sixth-grade students’ literacy skills

Effectiveness Test of Ketapang Leaf Ethanol Extract (Terminalia catappa L.) with TWEEN and PEG Diluents on the Mortality of Aedes aegypti Larvae
Get PDFDiseases caused by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes can be controlled with vectors in the form of larvicide administration, but if it is excessive, it causes environmental pollution and causes larval resistance so that natural larvicides are needed. Ketapang leaves are tested to determine the effectiveness of larvicides against Aedes aegypti larvae. To determine the effectiveness of the ethanol extract of ketapang leaves (Terminalia catappa L.) with TWEEN dilution on the mortality of Aedes aegypti larvae. The research is experimental with the research design used is posttest only controlled group design. This design compares the experimental group with the control group. The groups used were groups K (+) and K (-), and the TWEEN/PEG treatment group which contained ketapang leaf extract with a concentration of 1,5% and 2%, respectively.

The effect of ethanol extract from ketapang leaves (Terminalia catappa L.) with TWEEN diluent was the same as PEG on the mortality of Aedes aegypti larvae. The ethanol extract of ketapang leaves (Terminalia catappa L.) with dilutions of TWEEN and PEG was less effective than abate
Correlation of HbA1C and Lipid Profile Levels in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients at M Yunus Hospital
Get PDFThe lipid profile in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients is highly dependent on the HbA1c value. Poor HbA1c values accompanied by insulin resistance are associated with hypertriglyceridemia, decreased HDL levels, and sometimes followed by increased LDL levels.

There was no significant difference in triglyceride levels between on two groups (111,16 ± 48,06; 156,69 ± 76,07; p=0,169). There was a significant correlation between total cholesterol levels r=0,364; p=0,032), HDL (r=-0,377; p=0,026); LDL (r=0,367; p=0,030) with HbA1c levels. Type 2 DM patients with good glycemic control had significantly lower total cholesterol, triglyceride, and LDL levels compared to type 2 DM patients with poor glycemic control.
