Published: July 2024

Learning outcomes are students' abilities that have been achieved after following a learning process that includes cognitive, affective and psychomotor aspects. Student learning outcomes are influenced by several factors, both internal and external factors. Internal factors are factors that originate from students themselves which can influence learning outcomes, one of which is students' learning motivation. The problem based learning model is designed to guide active learning and critical thinking. In PBL, students who are faced with problems are required to be able to explore for themselves through observation skills, arguing in discussions, and carrying out practices in accordance with scientific procedures. Based on the results of observations in class X7 of SMA Negeri 10 Semarang, the majority of students were still passive during learning activities. This became the background for carrying out classroom action research regarding increasing student motivation and learning outcomes through the problem based learning model. This research method is PTK with a model according to Kemmis & McTaggart which consists of three stages, namely planning, implementation and observation, and reflection. Data collection techniques include observation, distributing questionnaires, and evaluation questions in the form of daily assessments. The research results showed that there was an increase in learning motivation with a percentage of 72% in cycle I to 83% in cycle II. Furthermore, the percentage of completeness of student learning outcomes in cycle I was 77% and cycle II increased to 94%. Thus, it can be concluded that there is an increase in motivation and learning outcomes for viral material through the Problem Based Learning model.

Published: July 2024

The paper presents the results of research conducted to assess the development of farming systems in the Prienisei Siberia over a long period of time as a basis for identifying factors determining crop productivity, and as an information basis for forecasting crop yields by 2030. The work provides information covering more than two hundred years of land practice in the Prienisei Siberia. It was found that in all the periods of agricultural production, each of which corresponds to a certain farming system, the trend of yield change was positive. Each successive period was shorter than the previous one, with yields increasing significantly. The period of extensive technologies application in farming lasted more than 140 years. At this time, yields increased by 0.0018 t/ha per year. The period of use of the ordinal (low-intensity) farming system lasted approximately 50 years. The yields then increased by 0.0204 t/ha per year. During the period of intensification of the farming system, which took about 30 years, the yields increased by 0.0212 t/ha per year and reached about 2.1 t/ha by the end of the period. The period of formation of high-intensity farming system is the shortest, characterized by the highest productivity growth rates – 0.0639 t/ha per year. If this trend is maintained, the long-term average yield of 3.0–3.5 t/ha will be reached approximately by 2030. For each soil-climatic zone it is advisable to have its own, original farming system, developed taking into account soil-agrochemical properties, landscape and climatic peculiarities, characterized by more in-depth differentiation of individual working area. It should present digital technologies using modern electronic means of informatization, geoinformation systems, remote methods and means of technological processes control, aerial and space methods of agro-ecosystems diagnostics.

Authors: Hermanudin Danika , Ahmad Hafiz Aziz
Published: July 2024

Worldbuilding telah menjadi pusat perhatian di kalangan industri hiburan, terutama di bidang animasi. Meskipun demikian, perhatian terhadap studi worldbuilding masih kurang jika dibandingkan dengan karakter dan naratif. Peneliti berpendapat bahwa worldbuilding dapat terkait erat dengan pembuatan karakter, mencerminkan sifat dan karakteristik manusia yang dikenal. Sehingga terbentuk "emotional realism" dan terciptanya empati dari audiens. Begitu juga dalam worldbuilding, audiens perlu merasa terhubung dengan unsur yang dikenal dan nyata. Realisme dalam animasi bertujuan menciptakan kesan nyata atau mirip dengan dunia asli. Akan tetapi bukan berarti animasi harus meniru dunia nyata secara sempurna, melainkan untuk membuat penonton merasakan keterhubungan atau keterikatan dengan apa yang mereka saksikan. Dalam penelitian ini, terdapat dua animasi, Kimi no Na wa (2016) dan Song of The Sea (2014), menggunakan dua pendekatan yang kontras namun berhasil membangun dunia dengan memanfaatkan elemen dari lokasi dunia nyata. Oleh karena itu, analisis komparatif deskriptif dilakukan untuk mengungkap perbedaan pendekatan dan fokus yang digunakan oleh kreator animasi tersebut dalam mencapai tingkat realisme pada worldbuilding.

Objective. Study the reaction of the white pulp of the spleen of laboratory mice in an experiment on parenteral administration of human pharmacy albumin. Materials and methods. Nine 30-day-old mice were divided into three groups of three mice each (intact and two experimental). Experimental mice were intraperitoneally injected with a human albumin pharmacy drug at a dose of 0.9 ml every other day for 30 days. The animals of the intact and first experimental groups were removed from the experiment by decapitation on the 30th day from the beginning of the experiment, the second experimental group – 1 month after the last injection (60 days from the beginning of the experiment). Results. Albumin increased the wet mass of the spleen from 0.74±0.01 g (control) to 1.40±0.02 and 1.20±0.04 g in groups 1 and 2, respectively; induced amyloidosis, determined by the relative area of the congophilic substance in 4 microns of paraffin sections of the spleen – 13.32±1.31 and 23.47±0.84% in groups 1 and 2, respectively; reduced the average area of lymphoid nodules from 1.34±0.10•105 mkm2 (control) to 1.18±0.08•105 and 0.91±0.04•105 mkm2 in groups 1 and 2, respectively; increased the relative area of white pulp – from 22.65±2.30% (control) to 34.99±2.34 and 31.87±1.68% in groups 1 and 2, respectively, and reduced the relative area of the red pulp – from 77.35±4.20% (control) to 65.01±2.34 and 68.13±1.68% in groups 1 and 2, respectively, which led to a significant decrease in the index (red pulp) / (white pulp) from 6.67±1.39 (control) to 2.79±0.42 and 2.65±0.29 in groups 1 and 2, respectively. In all cases, the differences are statistically significant. Conclusions. Parenteral administration of human albumin to mice at a dose of 0.9 ml of a pharmacy drug causes amyloid damage to the spleen. Discontinuation of the introduction of amyloidogen protein does not prevent the development of the amyloid process that has begun.

Authors: Samkov A. , Burgasova O. , Chesnokova M. , Tyurin I.
Published: July 2024

Criteria for laboratory screening of patients with COVID-19 in hospital settings are proposed to justify treatment, discharge and terms of dispensary follow-up. Optimal approaches are based on the determination of viral load, SARS-CoV-2 viability and serum ferritin level in the dynamics of the disease. High viral load is a criterion for an unfavorable outcome, ferritin level >200 mg/l indicates possible virus persistence. Assessment of SARS-CoV-2 virus viability substantiates a period of infectiousness in COVID-19 patients. At the same time, a longer excretion of the virus with feces is not excluded, which requires further studies to establish or exclude an additional fecal-oral transmission mechanism.

Turning into a Potted Plant: A Plant Studies' Approach to Han Kang's Short Story "The Fruit of My Woman"
Authors: Grewe-Volpp Christa
Published: July 2024

Plant studies, a recent branch of cultural studies, is taking a new look at the ontological status of plants and, implicitly and explicitly, redefining the status of the human in the larger web of life. Scientists have discovered that plants are not merely passive objects, but active agents with amazing capabilities: they are mobile and intentional, capable to make intelligent choices, to communicate with each other and with their environment, they are a "who and not only a what" (Michael Marder). This essay takes a look at these major claims of plant studies and argues that using anthropomorphic terms for the newly discovered capabilities of plants is a philosophical choice with serious consequences for our understanding not only of the vegetal world, but also of our position within it. It allows us to step beyond our hierarchical and zoocentric attitude and understand ourselves as part of the larger web of relations. The essay then demonstrates the role of plant studies for literary studies by interpreting Han Kang's short story "The Fruit of My Woman."

The paper presents the results of an experimental study and modeling of the frequency characteristics of a resonator in the form of two strip vibrators, separated by a large gap and covered with a bulk lithium niobate crystal. A metal electrode with a floating potential is installed on the upper surface of the crystal. The frequency dependences of the scattering matrix coefficients of a stripline resonator were measured in the frequency range up to 3 GHz. Electrodynamic analysis was carried out in the COMSOL Multiphysics numerical simulation environment. A comparison was made of experimental and numerical results, which showed good qualitative agreement between the transmission coefficients and reflection coefficients. Resonant oscillations were obtained at two or three frequencies depending on the location and orientation of the crystal. It has been established that at the first resonant frequency the electrode acts as a screen. The absence of an electrode leads to the disappearance of resonance. The simulation carried out in COMSOL made it possible to estimate the effective dielectric constant of the resonator corresponding to the values of the resonant frequencies. The calculation of electromagnetic fields made it possible to establish the types of waves corresponding to resonant frequencies. Knowing the type of waves and estimating the relative dielectric constant made it possible to construct an algorithm for a refined iterative procedure for calculating the values of the resonant frequencies and the effective dielectric constant of the resonator. The possibility of using resonators as single-link bandpass filters with a passband of about 1%, insertion loss of –1.1 dB and minimal return loss of –28 dB at the center frequency is shown.

Рост заболеваемости, обусловленной карбапенемрезистентными штаммами Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KP) меняет подходы к лечению пациентов. Из-за ограничения эффективности и потенциальной токсичности альтернативных лекарственных средств многие эксперты рекомендуют использовать комбинированную лекарственную терапию вместо монотерапии у пациентов, инфицированных CR-KP. Однако из-за отсутствия хорошо спланированных сравнительных исследований вопросы о лучшей комбинации для каждого типа инфекции, продолжающейся роли карбапенемов в комбинированной терапии и когда следует начинать комбинированную терапию остаются открытыми вопросами. В настоящей работе рассмотрены данные реальной клинической практики, подтверждающие проблему рационального подбора лекарственной терапии инфекций CR-KP. Исследование ретроспективное, основанное на анализе историй болезней 96 пациентов, находившихся на стационарном лечении в ГБУЗ «ГКБ им. Д. Д. Плетнева ДЗМ» в 2018 – 2021 гг. Из 96 пациентов информация об использовании антибактериальных лекарственных средств представлена у 68 пациентов. Объектом исследования являлись: локализация инфекционно-воспалительного процесса, вызванного CR-KP, относительная частота назначения (распределение по частоте встречаемости) различных схем антибактериальной терапии, выживаемость пациентов в зависимости от схемы применения лекарственных средств. На основании полученных данных, можно заключить, что для повышения эффективности комбинированной терапии, включающей карбапенем и амикацин, оказавшейся наиболее эффективной, следует заменить карбапенем, к которому у CR-КР отмечена устойчивость, на другой и назначить его в высокой дозе (субмаксимальной) в виде продленной инфузии, тогда как дозировку амикацина, наоборот, не увеличивать и вводить препарат болюсно 1 раз в сутки.

The increase in the number of MSMEs in line with the increasing number of taxpayers in Indonesia provides the potential for tax revenue. In fact the contribution to taxes is still very low. Therefore, this study intends to determine the effect of tax knowledge, modernization of tax administration and Islamic value on MSME tax compliance. The sample in this study, namely SMEs in the Province of the Special Region of Yogyakarta, was selected using a random sampling technique. The research method is multiple regression analysis method. 210 respondents who have been processed produce that tax knowledge and modernization of tax administration have a positive and significant effect on MSME taxpayer compliance. For further research, it is expected to add other variables related to tax compliance so that it can provide a broader picture.
Ekranisasi Film dalam Maskulinitas Muslim studi kasus pada Film ‘Ayat-ayat Cinta’
Authors: Askuri Baksin
Published: July 2024

Maskulinitas pada film-film Islami, termasuk dalam film "Ayat-Ayat Cinta," besutan sutradara Hanung Bramantyo mengacu pada representasi karakter laki-laki yang mencerminkan atau mewakili nilai-nilai maskulin dalam konteks agama Islam. Maskulinitas ini seringkali menggambarkan karakteristik seperti keberanian, keadilan, tanggung jawab, kerendahan hati, dan ketaatan terhadap prinsip-prinsip agama. Fenomena film “Ayat-Ayat Cinta” pada makalah ini penulis lihat dari aspek ekranasi. Istilah ekranasi belum banyak dikenal. Istilah ini untuk menggantikan proses adaptasi dari karya teks menjadi film. Adaptasi sebuah kisah atau cerita dari novel atau buku ke film merupakan hal yang lumrah di dunia perfilman. Kegiatan ini, selain disebut adaptasi, dikenal juga dengan sebutan praktik alih wahana. Di Indonesia, adaptasi kisah dari buku ke film sudah ada sejak zaman kolonial (1927), yaitu ketika George Krugers memproduksi film Eulis Atjih (Woodrich, 2013). Penelitian yang penulis lakukan dalam bentuk studi literatur untuk melihat sejauhmana maskulinitas muslim pada film ‘Ayat’Ayat Cinta’. Berdasarkan penelitian pustaka yang sudah penulis lakukan maka proses ekranasi pada film umunya terbagi menjadi tiga, yakni Aspek Penciutan, Aspek Penambahan, dan Aspek Perubahan Variasi. Dari ketiga aspek inilah masing-masing yang mengakibatkan hasil filmnya kurang memenuhi syarat mengalami penciutan.Aspek penciutan yang terjadi pada proses ekranisasi berarti tidak semua hal yang diungkapkan dalam novel akan menjadi bagian dalam film. Sutradara terlebih dahulu memilih informasi-informasi yang dianggap penting untuk jalan cerita pada film. Aspek penambahan yang terjadi pada proses ekranisasi berasal dari hasil interpretasi sutradara terhadap novel yang akan diangkat menjadi film. Sutradara memiliki alasan tertentu untuk menambahkan komponen pada cerita, misalnya penambahan pada alur, penokohan, latar, suasana, bahkan memungkinkan adanya penambahan tokoh. Aspek Perubahan Variasi. Perubahan variasi dapat disebabkan karena pembuat film merasa perlu membuat variasi-variasi dalam film sehingga film yang didasarkan atas novel itu memiliki kesan tidak seasli novelnya.

Composite materials have revolutionized industries such as aerospace and automotive with their impressive strength-to-weight ratios and customizable properties. Ply angle and fiber orientation are critical factors that significantly impact the dynamic behavior of composite structures, influencing stiffness, strength, and vibrational characteristics. This research delves into the dynamic characteristics of composite plates, explicitly examining how ply angle and fiber orientation affect vibrational behavior. Through finite element analysis (FEA), composite plates with varying ply angles and fiber orientations were modeled to understand their influence on natural frequencies, mode shapes, and dynamic responses under various loading conditions. The study reveals that cross-ply [0/0/0/0] exhibits the highest stiffness and superior stress handling, while the cross-ply balanced laminate [90/0/0/90] demonstrates better vibrational characteristics. The findings highlight the intricate relationships between design parameters and structural vibrational behavior, offering opportunities for optimizing composite structures. Additionally, harmonic analysis showed that a cut-out increases the natural frequency. The results underscore the importance of optimizing composite plate configurations to enhance vibrational characteristics and align natural frequencies with operational requirements, thereby mitigating resonance-related issues.
