IMPLEMENTASI PERANAN EKOSISTEM PENDIDIKAN DALAM PENGUATAN PENDIDIKAN KARAKTER PESERTA DIDIK

Akhir-akhir ini kita sering melihat beberapa aksi kenakalan yang dilakukan oleh peserta didik. Bermacam-macam bentuk kenakalan peserta didik semakin mewarnai kehidupan saat ini, membuat orang tua, guru, tokoh masyarakat dan bahkan Pemerintah resah. Sebagai salah satu alternatif solusi permasalahan, pemerintah menetapkan kebijakan penguatan pendidikan karakter bagi seluruh masyarakat, termasuk bidang pendidikan. Mengingat pentingnya penguatan pendidikan karakter, sangat menarik untuk mendalami bagaimana implementasi penguatan pendidikan karakter di sekolah, sehingga penulis melakukan penelitian yang bertujuan untuk mengkaji apa saja peran ekosistem pendidikan dalam mengimplementasikan penguatan pendidikan karakter kepada peserta didik di sekolah. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan melakukan wawancara dan survey ke beberapa sekolah sampel yaitu jenjang SD dan SMP di kota Semarang tahun 2017. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, diperoleh hasil bahwa implementasi nilai-nilai karakter oleh: 1) kepala sekolah, dalam dalam bentuk: mensosialisasikan kebijakan sekolah tentang pendidikan karakter,memberikan keteladanan dalam mengimplementasikan nilai-nilai karakter kepada peserta didik, dan sebagainya, 2) guru, dalam bentuk: guru sebagai pusat peradaban sekolah, memberi kesempatan berpendapat secara merata kepada siswa, menilai dan melaporkan hasil belajar secara adil dan transparan khususnya yang berhubungan dengan penanaman nilai-nilai karakter, membentuk pribadi peserta didik, dan sebagainya, 3) staf/tenaga kependidikan dalam bentuk: berpenampilan rapi, berkata sopan, dan sebagainya, dan 4) orangtua/masyarakat dalam bentuk: sebagai mediator (membangun jejaring) dengan lembaga atau komunitas lain dalam aksi penanaman nilai-nilai karakter di sekolah, berpartisipasi aktif dalam adiwiyata sekolah, mengadakan pelatihan di sekolah dengan mengundang para ahli, dan sebagainya. Dengan adanya sinergitas dalam penguatan pendidikan karakter di sekolah, maka secara langsung akan tercipta suasana kondusif di lingkungan sekolah.
Microbiota and Metabolite Profiling of Spoiled Spanish-Style Green Table Olives

The aim of the present study was to assess the malodorous spoilages of Spanish-style green table olives through microbial and metabolite composition using current measuring techniques (e.g., high-throughput DNA sequencing, headspace solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry). Under different alkaline and washing conditions, the spoilage fermentations were reproduced with Gordal and Manzanilla olive cultivars using a low salt concentration (71 g L−1 NaCl) in the initial brine. The degradation of lactic acid and significant increases in volatile fatty acids and phenols were found in all the spoiled samples in comparison with the unspoiled control samples. According to high-throughput DNA sequencing, Cardiobacteriaceae and Ruminococcus were the dominant bacteria in the spoiled samples. PLS regression and Pearson’s correlation coefficient analyses revealed positive and negative correlations among microbial communities, metabolites, and sensory spoilage descriptors. Notably, the “zapatera” descriptor was significantly associated with Propionibacterium, which was positively correlated with acetic acid, propionic acid, succinic acid, and methyl propanoate; while the “butyric” descriptor exhibited a significant positive relationship with the genus Ruminococcus, which gave an almost significant correlation with propionic and butyric acids.
MEASURING THE REVISIT INTENTION USING CITY BRANDING CONCEPT

The main purpose of this study was to build an understanding of the impact of city branding concept implementation on revisit intention with mediating variable of tourist satisfaction. In the tourism sector, recurring behavioral intentions are condition that describes the consumer's plan to revisit previously visited tourist destinations. The understanding of satisfaction and intention to return is very important because it is useful to develop tourism products that exist in the city especially related to aspects of city branding. This type of research was explanatory. The samples used in this study were 142 domestic tourists in the city of Ambon, Indonesia. Ambon Island has a characteristic surrounded by a group of islands that offer many natural attractions, beaches, recreation places, historical places and cultural heritage. General Structure of Component Analysis used to analyze the relationship between city branding concepts, satisfaction and revisit intention. The findings showed that city branding has a significant influence towards satisfaction of tourists and revisit intention. Besides, the satisfaction of tourists had a significant influence towards revisit intention.
Hakisan tanih dan masalah sedimen di Alur Ilmu, UKM (Soil erosion and sediment problems in the Alur Ilmu, UKM)

Masalah bahan mendak terutama sedimen terampai adalah salah satu daripada punca pencemaran yang berlaku dalam aliran Alur Ilmu, UKM. Salah satu penyumbang kepada muatan sedimen terampai dalam Alur Ilmu adalah proses hakisan tanih. Sehubungan itu kajian dilakukan bagi menganggar hasilan sedimen dalam aliran Alur Ilmu melalui proses hakisan tanih jangka pendek di bahagian hulu lembangan Alur Ilmu. Teknik radionuklid berilium-7 digunakan bagi menganggar kadar hakisan tanih melalui model profil taburan tanih. Manakala penjanaan sedimen terampai ditentukan berdasarkan data muatan sedimen terampai dan hakisan tanih berdasarkan peristiwa hujan semasa. Hasil kajian mendapati kadar anggaran bersih hakisan tanih adalah 42.1 t ha -1 dan nisbah hasilan sedimen adalah 0.683 peratus. Ini menghasilkan sekurang-kurangnya 36.23 t km -2 sedimen terampai daripada sesuatu peristiwa hujan semasa dan proses hakisan tanih. Jumlah hasilan sedimen terampai ini adalah tinggi bagi lembangan Alur Ilmu yang hanya bersaiz kecil. Sehubungan itu, usaha mitigasi harus pertimbangan sewajarnya pada kejadian proses hakisan tanih yang berlaku di bahagian hulu lembangan Alur Ilmu. Ini termasuk memulihara cerun musnah akibat daripada hakisan galur, dan menambah kepadatan tumbuhan di permukaan landskap sedia ada. Katakunci: Alur Ilmu, berilium-7, Geografi, hakisan tanih, radionuklid, sedimen Suspended sediment problem is one of the pollution sources that occurs in the Alur Ilmu, UKM. Among the contributors to the suspended sediment load in the Alur Ilmu is the soil erosion process. Therefore the study was conducted to estimate the sediment yield in the Alur Ilmu flows through the short-term soil erosion process at the upperstream of Alur Ilmu basin. Radionuclide technique of beryllium-7 was used in estimating the rate of soil erosion through the model of soil distribution profile. Meanwhile the generation of suspended sediment was determined based on the suspended sediment load and soil erosion through the initial rainfall event. The findings show that the estimate rate of net soil erosion is 42.1 t ha -1 and the ratio of sediment yield is 0.683. This produces at least 36.23 t km -2 of suspended sediment from the initial rainfall event and soil erosion process. The total of this sediment yield is considered high for the small area of the Alur Ilmu basin. Therefore mitigation efforts should be consider the occurence of soil erosion process at the upperstream of Alur Ilmu basin. This includes conserving damaged slopes from gully erosion, and increased the density of vegetation on the existing landscape surface. Keywords: Alur Ilmu, beryllium-7, Geography , soil erosion, , radionuclide, sediment.
Comparative Evaluation of Different Therapies on Post-partum Fertility and Blood Biochemical profile in Holstein Friesian Crossbred cows

The study was conducted to investigate effect of different therapies at calving on postpartum fertility and blood biochemical constituents around peri and postpartum period in HF crossbred cows. The twenty four Holstein friesian cows in Group-I and Group-II were injected Methyl ergometrine (5 mg) and Dinoprost tromethamine (PGF2α, 25 mg) i/m, respectively immediately after parturition. The cows of Group-III received herbal tablets (10 tab, bid, PO) for first 10 days post-partum and Group-IV received 5 ml normal saline i/m and served as control. Overall, 83.33 percent (5/6) cows in each Group-I and Group-II exhibited first postpartum estrus within mean intervals of 36.33 ± 1.17 and 26.50 ± 0.85 days, respectively, while in Group-III and Group-IV, 66.67 percent (4/6) and 50.0 percent (3/6) cows expressed postpartum estrus with mean intervals of 39.00 ± 2.84 and 48.00 ± 2.39 days, respectively. The postpartum estrus interval was significantly reduced in all three treatment groups as compared to control. The conception rate was highest in Group-I and II (83.33% each) followed by Group-III (66.67%) and Group-IV (50.0%). The mean plasma glucose levels significantly increased the 3rd post-partum day and thereafter significantly declined on 10th post-partum day. The mean serum total protein concentrations were fluctuated non-significantly between Group-I and III while it differed significantly between Group-II and IV at different time interval from prepartum to postpartum period. The mean serum total cholesterol in all treatment and control groups were found to be non-significantly decreased at 3rd day of parturition and there after constant increasing trends were observed in all groups.
Mathematics authentic assessment on statistics learning: the case for student mini projects

Mathematics authentic assessment is a form of meaningful measurement of student learning outcomes for the sphere of attitude, skill and knowledge in mathematics. The construction of attitude, skill and knowledge achieved through the fulfilment of tasks which involve active and creative role of the students. One type of authentic assessment is student mini projects, started from planning, data collecting, organizing, processing, analysing and presenting the data. The purpose of this research is to learn the process of using authentic assessments on statistics learning which is conducted by teachers and to discuss specifically the use of mini projects to improving students’ learning in the school of Surakarta. This research is an action research, where the data collected through the results of the assessments rubric of student mini projects. The result of data analysis shows that the average score of rubric of student mini projects result is 82 with 96% classical completeness. This study shows that the application of authentic assessment can improve students’ mathematics learning outcomes. Findings showed that teachers and students participate actively during teaching and learning process, both inside and outside of the school. Student mini projects also provide opportunities to interact with other people in the real context while collecting information and giving presentation to the community. Additionally, students are able to exceed more on the process of statistics learning using authentic assessment.
Outcome of Psychoanalytic and Cognitive-Behavioural Long-Term Therapy with Chronically Depressed Patients: A Controlled Trial with Preferential and Randomized Allocation

Objective: For chronic depression, the effectiveness of brief psychotherapy has been limited. This study is the first comparing the effectiveness of long-term cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and long-term psychoanalytic therapy (PAT) of chronically depressed patients and the effects of preferential or randomized allocation. Methods: A total of 252 adults met the inclusion criteria (aged 21-60 years, major depression, dysthymia, double depression for at least 24 months, Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptoms [QIDS] >9, Beck Depression Inventory II [BDI] >17, informed consent, not meeting exclusion criteria). Main outcome measures were depression self-rating (BDI) and rating (clinician-rated QIDS [QIDS-C]) by independent, treatment-blinded clinicians. Full remission rates (BDI ≤12, QIDS-C ≤5) were calculated. An independent center for data management and biostatistics analyzed the treatment effects and differences using linear mixed models (multilevel models and hierarchical models). Results: The average BDI declined from 32.1 points by 12.1 points over the first year and 17.2 points over 3 years. BDI overall mean effect sizes increased from d = 1.17 after 1 year to d = 1.83 after 3 years. BDI remission rates increased from 34% after 1 year to 45% after 3 years. QIDS-C overall effect sizes increased from d = 1.56 to d = 2.08, and remission rates rose from 39% after 1 year to 61% after 3 years. We found no significant differences between PAT and CBT or between preferential and randomized allocation. Conclusions: Psychoanalytic as well as cognitive-behavioural long-term treatments lead to significant and sustained improvements of depressive symptoms of chronically depressed patients exceeding effect sizes of other international outcome studies.
Memory, Language, and Neuroanatomy: A Reply

The work of ours that MacKay (2001) discusses followed on the interesting report that the noted amnesic patient H.M. , who has large medial temporal lobe lesions along with some more lateral damage to the rostralmost aspects of the superior and middle temporal gyri (Corkin, Amaral, Gonzalez, Johnson, & Hyman, 1997), was impaired at understanding ambiguity in sentences (MacKay, Stewart, & Burke, 1998). Our findings were based on 7 patients and 11 controls and made two simple points (Schmolck, Stefanacci, & Squire, 2000a). First, when bilateral damage is limited to the medial diencephalon or to the hippocampal formation (the hippocampal cell fields, dentate gyrus, subicular complex, and entorhinal cortex), memory impairment occurs in the absence of an impairment in detecting or explaining ambiguity in sentences. Second, memory impairment together with an impairment in understanding sentence ambiguity occurs in patients who have extensive bilateral damage to the medial temporal lobe as well as some damage to more lateral temporal cortex. We sought to extend the original observation by MacKay et al. (1998) by asking what damage (or what other factors) might be responsible for the deficit reported in patient H.M. The finding that damage limited to the hippocampal formation did not impair the appreciation of sentence ambiguity seems a constructive step in this direction. Our interpretation is that the hippocampal formation is not essential for understanding ambiguity and that memory impairment can occur in isolation from an impairment in understanding ambiguity. MacKay objects that we did not show that our study patients were amnesic, although their memory deficits and their neuropathology have been documented in numerous earlier articles (cf. Reed & Squire, 1997). And he objects that our three ‘‘hippocampal’’ patients and their five controls were not well matched, apparently because the controls exhibited ‘‘variability’’ and underperformed the three patients by a nonsignificant 3.8 points in the Vocabulary subtest of the WAIS-R (in fact, the controls slightly overperformed the patients on the Information subtest and were within 1.5 years of age of the patients). He fairly reminds us of the difficulty of rejecting the null hypothesis (the three patients averaged within
Environmental attitudes and place identity as simultaneous determinants of preferences for environmental goods

Economic valuation is frequently employed to provide evidence of people's preferences for environmental goods. However, it is also often criticised for providing a simplified representation of preferences, with many factors that affect value formation not accounted for. This is the case of environmental attitudes and especially place identity perceptions, which have been largely overlooked in economic valuation, despite representing amongst the most important drivers of people's behaviour towards the environment, according to the environmental psychology and sociology literature. To address this gap, we designed and conducted a choice experiment where we explored the simultaneous role of environmental attitudes and place identity perceptions on willingness to pay (WTP), taking peatland restoration in Scotland as a case study. This study adds to the existing literature in that no valuation study to date has simultaneously integrated both aspects in preference modelling. Given that both factors are potentially strong drivers of preferences, focusing only on one or the other provides a partial picture of the determinants of WTP. Moreover, we do not just look at 'generic' environmental attitudes, but also at ‘specific’ environmental attitudes. Our results, estimated through a novel and econometrically robust approach based on the hybrid choice model, show that people with more positive environmental attitudes and those who feel attached to Scotland and think that peatlands are an important part of Scotland's identity and landscape tend to display higher WTP. These findings are important to provide a richer understanding of the determinants of preferences for environmental goods. Our results also open up new insights to the discipline in relation to the spatial heterogeneity of preferences: we have shown that people do not only relate with the space around them by focusing on the distance to the improvement site, as most frequently postulated in valuation studies. The idea that place can be understood as a space with emotional and cultural meanings also plays a critical role in shaping preferences. All these are critical elements to better inform policy-makers in the design of more socially acceptable and effective environmental policies.
A review of the lifetime trajectories of cortical development and how they may differ in people who stutter

: This paper is directed towards an audience who is less familiar with cortical development across the lifespan. We summarized brain imaging research that has examined cortical growth in the typical population and highlighted this growth as it relates to the speech relevant regions of the brain. Following this, we used previously collected pilot data to illustrate how cortical growth in people who stutter may be abnormal.
Characterization of microbiota diversity of field‐collected Haemaphysalis longicornis (Acari: Ixodidae) with regard to sex and blood meals

Haemaphysalis longicornis is a prominent tick species in China, and the major vector of an emerging tick‐borne disease: severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS). Microbiome diversity of ticks is influenced by several factors. In this study, we investigated microbiome diversity in field‐collected female and male H. longicornis ticks and compared the microbial composition of fed and unfed ticks and of those feeding on different hosts using barcode sequencing of V3–V4 region of 16S RNA gene. Regardless of sex, host, and feeding status; the highest abundance among all samples was found for the genus Coxiella. The relative numbers of Coxiella sequences decreased with the length of the blood feeding, whereas the numbers of Staphylococcus and Corynebacterium increased gradually. The dominance of Coxiella across all samples indicates that it is an obligate symbiont of H. longicornis. Overall, higher microbiome richness was detected in male ticks than in female ticks. Fed ticks showed a more diverse microbe composition than unfed ticks, and ticks fed on goats exhibited the highest diversity. These findings of this study can serve as a basis for future studies of microbiota biology and interactions between the microbes and pathogens of H. longicornis.
Mathematics pre-service teachers’ thinking process in solving modeling task in differential calculus course

This study aims to both designing a modeling task for differential calculus course with a contextual approach and analyzing the results after the task implementation. Interviews were also conducted to six matemathics pre-service teachers. The researchers initially have suspected that the modeling process which occurs would follow the ideal mathematical modeling cycle but this study found that the modeling process did not necessarily follow sequential development according to model construction as described in various mathematical modeling cycles.
The Presence of Isoaspartic Acid in β-Amyloid Plaques Indicates Plaque Age

Abstract Extracellular deposits of fibrillar β-amyloid are a characteristic neuropathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We have developed a novel antibody to a hypothesized “older isomer” of the amyloid protein. This antibody, raised against a synthetic β-amyloid peptide containing isoaspartic acid at position 7 (isoaspartic-7-Aβ), reacts with isoaspartic-7-Aβ, a nonenzymatic modification found in long-lived proteins. Plaques stained with this antibody are thioflavine positive and are found throughout the frontal and entorhinal cortices of AD cases. In frontal cortex, isoaspartic-7-Aβ plaques are clustered but have a widespread distribution in all cortical layers. Isoaspartic-7-Aβ is found primarily in the core of individual plaques surrounded by nonisomerized amyloid. Activated microglia are associated with plaques containing isomerized and nonisomerized amyloid. In contrast to AD, isoaspartic-7-Aβ plaques in Down's syndrome (DS) cases are found primarily in the superficial layers of frontal cortex. Using image analysis isoaspartic-7-Aβ deposition was correlated with dementia severity in AD and with age in DS. The results indicate that this antibody against altered aspartyl amyloid could be a useful indicator of the age of amyloid plaques.
Nonfragile Dissipative Synchronization for Markovian Memristive Neural Networks: A Gain-Scheduled Control Scheme

In this paper, the dissipative synchronization control problem for Markovian jump memristive neural networks (MNNs) is addressed with fully considering the time-varying delays and the fragility problem in the process of implementing the gain-scheduled controller. A Markov jump model is introduced to describe the stochastic changing among the connection of MNNs and it makes the networks under consideration suitable for some actual circumstances. By utilizing some improved integral inequalities and constructing a proper Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, several delay-dependent synchronization criteria with less conservatism are established to ensure the dynamic error system is strictly stochastically dissipative. Based on these criteria, the procedure of designing the desired nonfragile gain-scheduled controller is established, which can well handle the fragility problem in the process of implementing the controller. Finally, an illustrated example is employed to explain that the developed method is efficient and available.
