TANTANGAN PENDIDIK DI ERA MILLENNIAL
Full text linkMillennial or Generation Y is a group of people born after Generation X, namely people born in the range of 1980-2000. Now, this generation is between the ages of 17-37. There are some millennial students who have dropped out of school or graduated from universities and entered to work, but most of them are still in the school system.The image and concept of the teacher in contemporary society is very much different from the concept of the past. The past teacher means knowledgeable, wise, and prudent. Nowadays, teachers are seen as educational functionaries who are tasked with teaching on the basis of certain scientific and academic qualifications. With this task, the teacher receives material rewards from the state or the education manager. Thus, the most important factor in the teaching profession is scientific and academic qualifications. Meanwhile, wisdom and prudence which are moral attitudes and behaviors are no longer significant. In the classical concept, moral factors are above teacher qualifications.In general, teachers should understand the social changes that exist in the present. Teachers must not stop learning about new things. Global challenges in the current era are also different from the global challenges from the past. Whatever steps and methods carried out at school are certainly aimed at forming character and preparing quality human resources in Indonesia.In this paper, the author will outline the challenges for teachers in the millennial era and the efforts made in dealing with these challenges. Previously the author also explained about the millennial generation, and the professionalism of teachers
Tigecycline reduced tumor necrosis factor alpha level and inhospital mortality in spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage
Full text linkBackground: The outcome of patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (SSICH) is unsatisfactory. Inflammatory response secondary to brain injury as well as those resulted from surgical procedure were considered responsible of this outcome. This study was intended to elucidate the anti-inflammatory activity of tigecycline by measuring TNF-α level and its neuroprotective effect as represented by inhospital mortality rate.
Methods: Pasien dengan PISS yang akan dilakukan evakuasi hematoma, dirandomisasi untuk jenis antibiotik profilaksis tigesiklin (n=35) atau fosfomisin (n=37). Pada semua subjek diukur kadar TNF-α sebelum pembedahan serta hari ke-1 dan ke-7 pascabedah. Pada hari ke-7 dilakukan pemeriksaan CT Scan ulang. Skor Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) dan lama rawat dicatat pada saat keluar rumah sakit. Data dianalisis dengan uji Mann-Whitney atau uji kai kuadrat. Efektivitas klinis relatif dinilai dengan menghitung number needed to treat (NNT).
Results: Didapatkan perbedaan bermakna pada proporsi subjek yang mengalami penurunan kadar TNF-α pada kelompok tigesiklin dibanding fosfomisin pada hari ke-7 pascabedah (62% vs 29%, p=0,022). Pengurangan edema pacsa operasi berbeda tidak bermakna pada kedua kelompok (86% vs 80%, p=0,580). Tigesiklin menunjukkan efektivitas klinis mengurangi luaran buruk (GOS ≤ 2 (20% vs 38% ; p=0,096; OR=0,41; NNT=6) dan inhospital mortality (17% vs 35%; p=0,083; OR=0,49; NNT=5). LOS ≥ 15 hari ( 40% vs 27%; p=0,243; OR=1,81; NNT=8)
Conclusion: Tigecycline showed anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activities. These activities were associated with improved clinical outcome in patients with SSICH after hematoma evacuation
The Power of Emak-Emak: Perempuan dalam Pusaran Kampanye Politik Pemilihan Presiden 2019
Full text linkThis research describe the militancy shown by women in the presidential election at 2019 in Indonesia. This paper aimed to explore women's political participation in presidential elections at 2019. The research approach used Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) in the construction of the power of emak-emak (motherhood). The author explored a series of political actions by a group of mothers who were skilled at producing unique song texts and interesting political campaigns as an expression of support for one of the candidates. These findings indicated that the role of women in current general election was increasingly apparent by involved joining creative campaigns, controling government policies, and giving voice of women`s independence. One side of the political activities is a form of democratic maturity phase, but on the other hand cannot be separated from the power and authority relation of the opposition groups.Penelitian ini menggambarkan militansi yang ditunjukkan perempuan dalam pemilihan presiden 2019 di Indonesia. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi salah satu bentuk dari partisipasi politik perempuan dalam pemilihan presiden 2019. Pendekatan penelitian yang digunakan adalah analisa wacana kritis (Critical Discourse of Analysis-CDA) dalam konstruksi slogan the power of emak-emak. Penulis mengeksplorasi rangkaian tindakan politik kelompok ibu-ibu yang terampil memproduksi teks lagu unik dan kampanye politik menarik sebagai perwujudan dukungan kepada salah satu calon presiden. Hasil temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa peran perempuan dalam prosesi demokrasi tahun 2019 kian terlihat nyata dengan melibatkan diri dalam kampanye kreatif bersama, melakukan kontrol bagi jalannya pemerintahan, serta menyuarakan kemerdekaan kaum perempuan dalam memilih pemimpin. Serangkain aktivitas politik tersebut satu sisi merupakan wujud fase kematangan berdemokrasi, namun di sisi lain suara kaum perempuan tersebut tidak bisa lepas dari kepentingan kekuasaan kelompok oposisi

IMPLEMENTATION OF AUTONOMOUS BALL FEEDER MOBILE ROBOT
Full text linkThe objective of the project is to design and implement autonomous ball feeder
mobile robot. The robot will be able to feed the ball into the outer torch
automatically. The purpose of designing the robot is to enter the ROBOCON
competition organized by SIRIM. This is the first participation of University
Technology PETRONAS in ROBOCON competition since it is an annually
competition from 2002.
Without any past experience on building a robot, the Electrical & Electronic
department has given the author challenges to build an autonomous robot base on
certain constrains restricted by the rules stated by the organizer. The robot will be
bigger in size and capable to carry heavier loads.
The scope of the study will be mainly on the design and implementation of the
robot from scratch or little knowledge. The study will be handled part by part from
researching on the whole part of the robot until the implementation of the workable
robot. The robot implementation can be divided into two main sections which is
hardware and controller part ofthe robot.
In the discussion part, all the robot implementation will be discussed in more
detail as to make sure the objective of the project can be achieved successfully. The
problem and the solution for the problem will also be discussed base on the student
point of view.
Before ending the chapter, some recommendation has been suggested for
further improvement for the next ROBOCON team members. The suggestions made
are base on the current available technology and also the experience gain by the
author through out this design project. To conclude the thesis paper, the conclusion
will wrap up the whole findings in a general view

Pengaruh Plus-minus bayang-bayang matahari terhadap penerusnya waktu shalat dzuhur dan ashar
No full textThis study discusses the shadow of the sun with the main problem, namely whether the plus-minus of the shadow of the sun affects the determination of the time of dzuhur and ashar prayers? The author uses a qualitative type of descriptive research with syar'i shorts based on the Qur'an and hadith as well as an astronomical approach by making direct observations using the istiwa' stick to find out the shadow of objects during dzuhur and ashar prayers. This method of determining the time of prayer using the shadow of the sun and the istiwa stick tool is considered that the resulting level of accuracy is very high. And it can be used as an alternative in determining the time of dzuhur and ashar prayers with the shadow of the sun. As for this study, we must pay attention to the plus-minus where what is meant is when the weather is cloudy and sunny which can be used as a standardization in determining the time of dzuhur and ashar prayers. Researchers hope that in the future, they will increase knowledge related to the influence of plus-minus solar shadows on determining the time of prayers dzuhur and ashar yan can be used as a reference in determining the time of prayer, the most important thing is that the object has a shadow in this case the sun.
