Non-Observence Maksim dalam Komentar Youtube Berita NBC
No full textThis study investigates the non-observance of Grice’s conversational maxims in the comment sections of NBC News YouTube videos reporting on the Los Angeles wildfires. The analysis focuses on five selected videos, identifying 48 instances of non-observances. Using Creswell’s qualitative analytical framework, the comments were thematically analyzed to identify patterns in how users deviate from cooperative principles in digital communication. The findings reveal that flouting of the maxim of relevance is the most dominant, representing (50%) of all cases, as commenters often shift the topic to express indirect criticism, political discontent, or sarcasm. Flouting of quality and manner maxims appears in (17%) of the data, with users presenting exaggerated, ambiguous, or unsubstantiated remarks to convey distrust or emotional responses. The flouting of the maxim of quantity is the least common, comprising (6.25%), where comments include either excessive personal details or insufficient information. Regarding violations, (8.33%) of comments breach the maxim of quality through unsupported accusations or conspiracy theories, while (2.08%) violate the maxim of quantity by offering vague or overly broad statements. The analysis of implicature characteristics shows that calculability is the most prominent feature. In 43 instances, commenters rely on readers’ ability to infer hidden meanings from indirect or ironic remarks. Non-detachability appears in only one example, suggesting that the implicature depends more on content than wording. Indeterminacy is rare, with only two cases where the implied meaning remains open to multiple interpretations. No examples of cancellability or non-conventionality were identified, indicating that the implicatures tend to be deliberate, context-specific, and resistant to retraction. These findings highlight how users on social media platforms like YouTube employ non-observance of conversational maxims and pragmatic implicature strategies to express opinions, challenge official narratives, and engage critically with crisis-related content.122 PagesSkripsi Sarjan
Community Empowerment in Kampung MATFA Indonesia through the Practice of Compassion Teachings by Tuan Guru and Tuwan Imam.
No full textThis research investigates the community empowerment practices in
Kampung MATFA Indonesia, a unique spiritual and communal village located in
Telaga Said Village, Sei Lepan Subdistrict, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra. The
empowerment model in this community is shaped by the compassionate teachings
of Y.M. Tuan Guru and is institutionalized through the leadership of his
successor, Tuwan Imam. The study applies a qualitative descriptive method, using
data collection techniques such as participant observation, in-depth interviews
with key informants, and documentation review.
The findings show that Kampung MATFA adopts a holistic empowerment
strategy that integrates spiritual, social, and economic dimensions through a
compassion-centered framework. The leadership of Tuwan Imam is central to the
community‟s daily life, guiding activities that range from religious education and
decision-making
collective worship to economic sectors such as agriculture, fisheries, livestock,
small-scale industries, and the management of a communal bottled water
company (HANICHA). Social institutions like the Baitul Maal, communal
kitchens, and educational programs for children and adults further reinforce this
system of empowerment.
The community employs the Asset-Based Community Development
(ABCD) approach by mobilizing internal resources, talents, and values within the
community, rather than relying on external assistance. This approach is
complemented by Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) techniques that emphasize inclusive through regular musyawarah (community deliberation), collective planning, and participatory evaluation. Moreover, the study also addresses external perceptions of the community—ranging from admiration for its unity and self-reliance to criticisms of authoritarianism or
indoctrination—offering a nuanced analysis of local spiritual leadership in a
modern context.
The research concludes that Kampung MATFA demonstrates a model of
alternative empowerment that blends spiritual devotion, strong leadership,
cultural values, and cooperative economics. The institutionalization of
compassion as a guiding principle has enabled the development of a self
sustaining, harmonious society that may serve as a reference for culturally rooted
community development elsewhere.113 PagesSkripsi Sarjan
The Effect of Storage Duration and Immersion of Eggs Using Basil Leaf (Ocimum basilicum L.) Solution on Maintaining the Internal Quality of Duck Eggs (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus)
No full textDuck eggs are highly nutritious animal based food products but are prone to quality deterioration during storage. One natural preservation method is immersion using basil leaf solution, which has antibacterial properties. This study aimed to determine the effect of storage duration and basil leaf solution concentration on the internal quality of duck eggs and to identify the most effective treatment combination. The research was conducted at the Livestock Production Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Sumatera Utara, using a factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors: basil solution concentration (0%, 15%, 30%, and 45%) and storage duration (0, 10, 20, and 30 days). Observed parameters included albumen index, yolk index, weight loss percentage, and pH value. The results showed a highly significant interaction (P<0.01) between the treatments on albumen index, yolk index, and pH. Immersion in 45% basil solution was effective in maintaining albumen and yolk indices as well as pH, while the 30% concentration was most effective in reducing weight loss. Day 10 was identified as the optimal storage period, during which all internal quality parameters remained stable. After this period, egg quality significantly declined.59 PagesSkripsi Sarjan

Meaning, Dynamics, Social Relations: Decision Making in Hair Coloring. (An Ethnographic Study of Female Students on. Pembangunan Street, Padang Bulan Village, Medan Baru District)
No full textThis study examines decision-making in hair colouring among female students residing on Pembangunan Street, Padang Bulan Village, Medan Baru District. The research focuses on how female students perceive hair, the reasons for hair colouring, the dynamics of changing hair colour, and how their social relationships influence decisions regarding hair colouring.
This study employs a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. Data collection techniques include participant observation and in-depth interviews using an interview guide. Key informants are female students who dye their hair. Female students included in the informant category are those who dye their hair and reside in the Pembangunan street area. In this study, the author did not consider the age, academic year, or university of the informants. Data analysis was conducted throughout the research process until the writing stage (ongoing analysis). Field data was recorded in detail in fieldnotes to establish themes, construct frameworks, and classify them according to the emic view.
The results of this study indicate several trends in hair colouring styles that are preferred by female students. Some variations in hair colouring techniques include full colour, highlights, and peek-a-boo techniques. When colouring their hair, female students always choose variations different from previous ones. This indicates a dynamic aspect in hair colouring. Female students assign meaning to their hair as a symbol of their authority, femininity, and self-identity.
This study also shows that there is a connection between knowledge, experience, opportunity, and timing. Timing can influence decision-making by considering factors such as positive or negative experiences during previous hair colouring, opinions from peers, or trends on social media.138 PagesSkripsi Sarjan
Detection of Apical Periodontitis Lesions Based on the Periapical Index (PAI) Scale Using Panoramic Radiographic Images with the EfficientDet Method
No full textDiagnosing apical periodontitis lesions via panoramic radiography faces significant challenges, including suboptimal image quality, digital noise, blurred image boundaries, and overlapping anatomical structures. These conditions not only complicate the diagnostic process and increase the demand on dentists' time and effort, but also potentially lead to inconsistent assessments and an increased risk of misdiagnosis due to interpretations highly dependent on individual clinicians' skills and experience. To address these challenges, this study developed an artificial intelligence-based system using the EfficientDet method to detect apical periodontitis lesions based on the Periapical Index (PAI) scale. Lesion were classified into three categories: PAI 3, PAI 4, and PAI 5. Based on test results, the model utilizing the EfficientDet algorithm was able to detect apical periodontitis lesions in panoramic radiographic images with an accuracy rate of 89.95%. These results indicate that the model performs well in recognizing apical periodontitis lesions and determining their severity according to the Periapical Index Scale.72 PagesSkripsi Sarjan
Effectiveness Test of Nanofungicide Based on Silver Nitrat and Trichoderma virens in Suppressing the Growth of Ganoderma Boninense In Vitro
No full textBasal stem rot disease in oil palm plantations caused by the pathogenic fungus Ganoderma boninense remains a serious problem and causes economic losses. Studies on the effect of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on controlling G. boninense have not been widely conducted. The commonly used methods for synthesizing silver nanoparticles are physical and chemical methods, but these methods have adverse effects on the environment and living organisms, so other safer and more effective methods are needed. This study aims to test the potential of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized with Trichoderma virens (Tv) in suppressing the growth of G. boninense in vitro. This study used a Complete Randomized Factorial Design with two treatment factors, namely: 1) application methods consisting of poisoning and dual culture, and 2) comparison of T. virens with AgNP with control treatment, D'Flava, a fungicide with the active ingredient Mancozeb, Tv 1:4 AgNP, Tv 1:5 AgNP, Tv 1:10 AgNP, Tv 1:20 AgNP. The results showed that the inhibition test of G. boninense using the poisoning method was more effective than the dual culture method, with the best treatment being Tv 1:10 AgNP, yielding an average growth of 30.87 mm at 14 days after inoculation (DAI). The application of AgNPs caused abnormal growth of G. boninense hyphae, namely coiled, curled, twisted, broken, and lysed hyphae.58 PagesSkripsi Sarjan
Management of Medical Records in the Medical Records Unit of the University of North Sumatra Hospital
No full textMedical records are a vital component of hospital services, serving as documentation of
patient identity, medical history, procedures, and treatments provided. Effective and
structured management is therefore essential. This study aims to examine the
management of medical records at the Medical Records Unit of the University of North
Sumatra Hospital. A qualitative case study approach was employed, with data collected
through interviews, direct observation, and document review. One key informant directly
involved in medical record management participated in the study. The findings reveal that
medical record management still encounters significant challenges. Limited human
resources and inadequate facilities and infrastructure hinder the process, which includes
sorting, coding and indexing, storage, and reporting. Insufficient storage facilities, such
as cabinets and shelving, often lead to misplaced, mixed, or lost files. The study suggests
continuous training programs to enhance staff competencies, as well as improved
provision of storage facilities and infrastructure to optimize the management of medical
records.51 PagesKertas Karya Diplom
