Optimalisasi Pembagian Kelas Perkuliahan Dengan Menggunakan Psikometer Learning Style Inventory Secara Online
No full textGaya belajar siswa atau student learning style dapat diartikan sebagai karakteristik kognitif, afektif, dan perilaku psikologis seorang siswa tentang bagaimana dia memahami sesuatu, berinteraksi dan merespons lingkungan belajarnya, yang bersifat unik dan relatif stabil. Saat ini sering terjadi penempatan kelas pada seorang mahasiswa tidak terkelola dengan benar maka mahasiswa tersebut tidak akan memperoleh prestasi belajar yang maksimal. Hal tersebut disebabkan pembagian kelas perkuliahan untuk mahasiswa yang tidak merujuk ke suatu referensi metodologi yang jelas, sehingga akan mengakibatkan kecenderungan prestasi mahasiswa menurun selama masa perkuliahan. Hal ini juga akan berdampak pada sulitnya dosen untuk mengendalikan mahasiwa dalam proses belajar mengajar di dalam kelas. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut penulis mencoba mengangkat sebuah penelitian tentang Sistem pendukung keputusan untuk menentukan penempatan kelas mahasiswa sesuai dengan hasil psikometer sehingga prestasi mahasiswa menjadi meningkat dan mutu pendidikan di perguruan tinggi menjadi lebih baik. Psikometer ini terdiri dari 12 pertanyaan dan diisi oleh setiap mahasiswa dalam satu kelas secara online sehingga akan langsung mendapatkan klasifikasi gaya belajar antara lain Diverger. Assimilator, Converger, Accomodator,. Gaya belajar yang ada diteliti adalah Concrete Experience, Abstract Conceptualization, Reflective Observation, Active Experimentation.
 
Ivy City Community Development Project
No full textSince January 2005, the Ivy City Community Development Project, led by sponsoring organization Empower DC, has worked to create an organization for the Ivy City community in Washington, DC, led by residents and stakeholders, to empower the community to control economic assets, to prevent the sale of their greatest public asset (Crummell School) and ensure its redevelopment, and to organize and develop capacity in the community to proactively address rapid gentrification.
Grassroots organization Empower DC has led community organizing efforts and developed community capacity through conducting needs assessment and necessary trainings. In May 2005 residents and stakeholders brought together by Empower DC named the Historic Ivy City/Crummell School Revitalization Coalition (Ivy City Coalition for short), wrote its mission statement and established working committees to protect residents from the threat of displacement due to rising housing costs.
Through the Ivy City Coalition, residents and stakeholders have greatly increased their civic participation and have exercised enormous influence on the course of decision making impacting the Ivy City community. In response to city-sponsored revitalization proposals, residents authored the Ivy City Plan for Home Again and established the Home Again/Ivy City Task Force which meets on a regular basis with the city to design the planned development of 60+ new housing units, which residents are pushing to be offered to very low-moderate income families with current residents receiving priority.
The Ivy City Community Development Project will be evaluated based on:
1) The sustained involvement and leadership of residents and stakeholders
2) The successful completion of a revitalization plan for Ivy City
3) The successful negotiation of partnerships with District government, community developers and financial institutions to actualize the revitalization, and
4) Instituting measures of sustainability for the Ivy City Coalition. (Author abstract)Norouzi, P. (2006). Ivy City Community Development Project. Retrieved from http://academicarchive.snhu.eduMaster of Science (M.S.)School of Community Economic Developmen

Ivy: A qualitative interface to reduce sedentary behavior in the office context
Full text linkpeer reviewedThis paper describes Ivy, an office chair that represents sitting time of an office worker through growing ivy strands. The longer one sits, the more strands will grow onto the chair. By means of a qualitative interface called Ivy, we illustrate a design approach that is currently underrepresented in sedentary behavior interventions. With this approach, we counter the current trend of digitalization and quantification of health interventions. Instead of graphs and numbers, Ivy uses data physicalization as a qualitative interface that represents sitting. We describe the design, the process, and future research steps of Ivy as a critical perspective on sedentary behavior interventions. We aim to spark discussion amongst designers and researchers in the field of Human-Computer Interaction to use qualitative interfaces as a promising approach to deepen the user's relationship with the targeted behavior and enrich the ability to construct meaning from the feedback. © 2020 Owner/Author
Ivy: Reading a critical design for sedentary behavior in the office context
Full text linkpeer reviewedIn this paper, we present and discuss Ivy, a critical artifact offering a novel design perspective on interventions that aim to reduce sedentary behavior in office workers. Ivy is an interactive office chair that represents the amount of sitting time through growing ivy strands. Using the matrix of common argument types by Bardzell et al., we propose a structured "reading" of Ivy, as an example supporting reasoned and accessible conversations about criticality in design. Our reading of Ivy emphasized that its criticality emerges mainly from data physicalization as a new form of interactivity intended to trigger reflectiveness. The insights of this design study contribute towards a critical perspective on designing interventions to reduce sedentary time and spark discussion amongst designers and researchers in the field of Human-Computer Interaction. © 2020 Owner/Author

Fluorescent In-Situ Hybridization is the Hand Mirror of Cytogenetics: A Rare Case of Near Tetraploidy in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Full text linkIdentification of specific chromosomal changes has important prognostic and biological implications in childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). ALL cases with 90 chromosomes are rare. Here, we report a case of near-tetraploidy in a 4 year old boy diagnosed with B-cell ALL, where the ploidy was identified by Fluorescent In- Situ Hybridization (FISH) and confirmed by Conventional Cytogenetics. Our aim was to enumerate multiple signals observed by FISH, and to confirm the same by cytogenetics. FISH on cytogenetically fixed air-dried slides was performed by using BCR/ABL and MLL probe .Two hundred cells were scored. BMA was cultured and G-banded metaphases were analyzed in accordance with ISCN 2013. The results of the FISH test showed more than two signals and cytogenetics revealed clones of near-tetraploidy with mn 90, karyotype: 90-92, 4nXXY,-Y,-10,-10,-13, +14, +17, along with normal clones. The tetraploidy condition compared to hyperdiploid ALL has a poorer prognosis and the rarity of these cases makes accounting on treatment decisions a supposition. Presently, the patient is on standard treatment for ALL (UK ALL regime A). The numerical abnormality detected by FISH was confirmed by cytogenetics, which facilitated in reporting the results of this case earlier than the defined turnaround time. Therefore author opines that FISH reports should also contain observed additional information along with positive or negative status of the requested test
