Hasnah Usman (2022): A Comparative Study between Multiple Choice and Cloze Test toward Students’ Reading Comprehension Achievement at the Second Grade Students MAN 3 Pekanbaru
The aim of this research was to find out the differences between multiple choice and cloze tests toward students’ reading comprehension achievement in the second grade at MAN 3 Pekanbaru. This research was quantitative research with a comparative causal method. This research was done from November 2021 to January 2022. The population of this research was students on XI MIA 3 and MIA 4 at MAN 3 Pekanbaru, with a total of 40 students. The researcher used a purposive sampling technique in collecting the sample. In collecting the data, the researcher gave multiple choice and cloze tests. The researcher used SPSS Program 23.0 for analyzing the data. The result of this research showed that the students who answered by using a cloze test got 76, 50, whereas the students who answered by using multiple choice got 67, 75. The result of this research showed that there was a significant difference in students’ reading comprehension achievement on multiple choice and cloze tests in reading comprehension at MAN 3 Pekanbaru. It was proved that the significance value sig. (2-tailed) was 0,000. That is, the sig. value (2-tailed) < 0, 05. Then, according to one sample t-test, it can be concluded that H0 was rejected and Ha was accepted. It means that the best test to increase students’ reading comprehension achievement in XI class at MAN 3 Pekanbaru was multiple choice tests
‘The Churchillian Paradigm and the “Other British Isles”: An Examination of Second World War Remembrance in Man, Orkney, and Jersey’
No full textThis dissertation studies Second World War ‘sites of memory’ in the islands of Jersey, Orkney and the Isle of Man, to determine if each island celebrates the war’s events as Britain does, or if they have charted their own mnemonic course. It builds on the work of Angus Calder, Malcolm Smith, and Mark Connelly, who have explored how popular conception of the Second World War in Britain has been structured around a certain set of commemorative motifs, most of which centre on Winston Churchill and the events of 1940. The British war narrative is now commonly referred to as the ‘Churchillian paradigm’ or ‘finest-hour myth’, and continues to be the driving force in commemoration and memorialization on the British mainland. The three islands in this study are culturally and historically distinct from Britain, and each has strong notions of its own ‘island identity’. Each also possesses a tangential and divisive domestic experience of war, one which is often minimized in the iconography of the Churchillian paradigm. Jersey was occupied by Nazi Germany from 1940 to 1945, Orkney was home to several thousand Italian POWs who built important infrastructure in the island, and the Isle of Man was home to 14,000 German, Finnish, Japanese, and Italian internees in what one critic has called ‘a bespattered page’ in the nation’s history. By examining ‘sites of memory’— museums, heritage sites, commemorations, celebrations, philately, and use of public space—this dissertation shows that each island simultaneously accepts and rejects elements of the finest-hour myth in their collective memory. Each island displays its unique (though often quite negative) heritage in order to differentiate itself from Britain, while at the same time allowing them, at certain events, to participate in celebration of Britain’s ‘greatest victory’. In this way, islands’ use ‘Britishness’ pragmatically, by basking in traditionally ‘British’ commemorative tropes, while at the same time deepening their own cultural and historical sovereignty

NURUL INAYAH A. USMAN Hubungan Pola Makan Dan Aktivitas Fisik Dengan Kejadian Gizi Lebih Pada Siswa MAN 2 Palu (dibimbing oleh ibu Ummu Aiman).
WHO menyebut secara global prevalensi pada anak-anak dan remaja berusia 5 sampai 19 tahun dengan standar deviasi 10,5% kurus, 18% kelebihan berat badan dan 6,8% mengalami kejadian obesitas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan pola makan dan aktivitas fisik dengan kejadian gizi lebih pada siswa MAN 2 Palu. Metode penelitian merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain Cross sectional. Jumlah populasi yaitu 310 dan sampel sebanyak 175 responden dengan menggunakan teknik simple random sampling. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner SQ-FFQ, kuesioner aktivitas fisik dan mengukur tinggi badan dan berat badan. Data analisis menggunakan uji statistik Somers’d. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan responden yang memiliki status gizi lebih sebanyak 95 orang (54,3%). Berdasarkan uji somers’d didapatkan hasil variabel yang memiliki hubungan dengan kejadian gizi lebih adalah asupan karbohidrat (p = 0,000), asupan protein (p = 0,000) dan asupan lemak (p = 0,000). Sedangkan variabel yang tidak memiliki hubungan dengan kejadian gizi lebih adalah asupan serat (p = 0,046) dan aktivitas fisik (p = 0,820). Diharapkan remaja dapat menghindari kebiasaan mengonsumsi makanan yang berlebihan dan bisa menerapkan pola makan beraneka ragam sesuai dengan prinsip gizi seimbang.

Competing models of socially constructed economic man : differentiating Defoe's Crusoe from the Robinson of neoclassical economics
Get PDFDaniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe has seldom been read as an explicitly political text. When it has, it appears that the central character was designed to warn the early eighteenth-century reader against political challenges to the existing economic order. Insofar as Defoe’s Crusoe stands for "economic man", he is a reflection of historically-produced assumptions about the need for social conformity, not the embodiment of any genuinely essential economic characteristics. This insight is used to compare Defoe’s conception of economic man with that of the neoclassical Robinson Crusoe economy. On the most important of the ostensibly generic principles espoused by neoclassical theorists, their "Robinson" has no parallels with Defoe’s Crusoe. Despite the shared name, two quite distinct social constructions serve two equally distinct pedagogical purposes. Defoe’s Crusoe extols the virtues of passive middle-class sobriety for effective social organisation; the neoclassical Robinson champions the establishment of markets for the sake of productive efficiency
John Toland and the Druids on the Isle of Man
No full textFunding: The author received a Marshall Cubbon bursary from IoMNHAS in support of his research.This article examines the historical study of the Druids on the Isle of Man. It explores a variety of writers’ characterisations of the Druids and Man’s place in the ‘Celtic’ world from the sixteenth century to today, with an especial focus on John Toland. Although ideas about the Druids grew more from guesswork than clear evidence, they were crucial in defining Manx identity and history, with enduring effects into the present.Peer reviewe

No full textPassive visible light positioning systems
No full textLocalization is one of the key applications of visible light communication (VLC) using which sub-centimeter level positioning
accuracy is possible. Many visible light-based positioning (VLP) systems have been designed by industry and the research community. Their commercial viability is hampered by the requirement of significantch anges in the deployed lighting infrastructure, resulting in a prohibitive increase in the cost and overhead of deployment. In this paper, we review passive VLP systems an emerging paradigm that offers hope to overcome this challenge and thus can catalyze commercial adoption of a new wave of VLP systems. Unlike active systems, passive ones provide unprecedented flexibility and can enable new potential applications and scenarios such as ability to track users not carrying photosensors. Both natural light sources e.g., sunlight and artificial man-made sources can be used to transmit location information. This paper provides a taxonomy of recently proposed passive VLP systems which is supported by several examples from the recent research literature. A comparative performance of these systems based on factors like accuracy and infrastructure changes is provided along with their limitations
