EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL E SUBJETIVAÇÃO DA CRIANÇA NA SOCIEDADE DE CONSUMO
Authors: Quixadá Luciana Martins
Published: November 2019

Resumo: Pretende-se problematizar sobre as condições de participação política da criança na sociedade de consumo, apontando o quanto a educação infantil tem a fazer para tornar-se uma via potencializadora que supere práticas de exclusão e de fragilidade dos laços sociais. Importa na atualidade uma discussão crítica sobre os ideais de uma cultura que desautoriza muitos dos seus membros, negando suas capacidades de realizar mudanças significativas em suas experiências cotidianas. Metodologicamente, análises bibliográficas pautadas na teoria crítica e histórico-cultural, articularam-se aos resultados de uma pesquisa de tese, visando refletir sobre a constituição da autonomia da criança em ambiente escolar na sociedade de consumo. Considerando a dinamicidade das relações e dos espaços sociais, a escola precisa se reinventar, injetando práticas pedagógicas que favoreçam junto à criança sua participação nos projetos coletivos e que fomentem sua capacidade criativa como forma de viabilizar seu desenvolvimento social e moral, bem como o exercício de sua cidadania. Palavras-chave: Criança. Sociedade. Educação. Abstract: It is intended to problematize on the conditions of political participation of the child in the consumer society, pointing out how much the child education has to do to become a potential way that overcomes practices of exclusion and fragility of the social bonds. A critical discussion of the ideals of a culture that disavows many of its members, denying their ability to make meaningful changes in their everyday experiences, is currently important. Methodologically, bibliographic analyzes based on critical and historical-cultural theory, were articulated to the results of a thesis research, aiming to reflect on the constitution of autonomy in children in school environment in the consumer society. Considering the dynamics of relationships and social spaces, the school needs to reinvent itself, injecting pedagogical practices that favor the child's participation in collective projects and that promote their creative ability as a way to enable their social and moral development, as well as the exercise of their citizenship.Keywords: Child.

REFLEXÕES SOBRE A MORTE E A SENESCÊNCIA
Authors: Ottoni Máximo Alessandro Mendes , Cardoso Antônio Dimas
Published: November 2019

Resumo: O presente artigo tem por objetivo fomentar um debate acerca de temas polêmicos, que são pertinentes ao envelhecimento humano, mas que muitas vezes não são discutidos pela sociedade. Buscou-se, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e de estudos empíricos, apresentar questões ligadas ao envelhecimento, à morte, à eutanásia e ao suicídio. Percebeu-se nesse estudo que, muitas vezes, alguns temas são considerados tabu, como é o caso da eutanásia, mas existem países como Holanda, Bélgica, Suíça e Colômbia em que esse procedimento já foi adotado e, em alguns casos, até mesmo regulamentado. Verificou-se neste trabalho que, muitas vezes, a morte não é o maior temor do ser humano, mas sim, o medo da perda da liberdade e do controle da sua própria vida. Apoio familiar, tratamento clínico e espiritualidade podem ser considerados grandes aliados na tentativa de se evitar o suicídio cometido por pessoas idosas.Palavras-chave: Envelhecimento. Morte. Eutanásia. Suicídio. Abstract: The purpose of this article is to promote a debate about controversial issues there are pertinent to human ageing, but which are not often discussed by the society. Through bibliographic research, documentary and empirical studies, we presented questions related to ageing, death, euthanasia and suicide. It has been noted in this study that some topics are often considered a taboo, such as euthanasia, but there are countries such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and Colombia where this procedure has already been adopted and, in some cases, even regulated. It has been found in this work that death is often not the greatest fear of the human being, but rather the fear of loss of freedom and control of one's life. Family support, clinical treatments and spirituality can be considered to be great allies in trying to prevent suicide by older people.Keywords: Aging. Death. Euthanasia. Suicide.
Acute kidney injury: a risk scoring system for general surgical patients
Authors: Hamilton Maria
Published: November 2019

This article describes the development of a scoring system for general surgical patients to highlight those at greater risk of developing acute kidney injury (AKI). Following a search of the literature on current practice, a list of common variables was composed. Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) data from two random hospital trusts was used. With the help of a risk analysis system (CRAB Medical module, CRAB Clinical Informatics Ltd) it was possible to examine the relationship between potential risk factors and the incidence of AKI. Using Analyse-it for Excel a binary logistic model was created, which led to the development of a logistic regression equation and consequently a scoring system. The sensitivity and specificity of the model was tested using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. There was good correlation across the whole risk spectrum with an area under ROC curve of 0.806 (95% confidence intervals 0.787–0.825). The scoring system was developed into an admission checklist for general surgical patients to highlight a patient's risk of developing AKI. In a ward setting a checklist that immediately assesses the patient and produces a rapid indication as to whether the patient is at high risk or low risk would seem to be the ideal tool.
Scales for assessing medication adherence in patients with hypertension
Authors: Chatziefstratiou Anastasia , Giakoumidakis Konstantinos , Fotos Nikolaos V , Baltopoulos George , Brokalaki Hero
Published: November 2019

Background:

the choice of the appropriate tool for assessing level of medication adherence is a significant barrier in scientific research.

Aims:

to translate into Greek and test the reliability of the Hill-Bone and A-14 scales among patients with hypertension. Also, to compare patients' responses in the Hill-Bone scale, A-14 scale and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS).

Methods:

data collection occurred between February 2016 and March 2016 at a general hospital in Athens, Greece. The sample consisted of hypertensive patients (n=34) and non-hypertensive patients (n=34).

Findings:

the coefficient alpha in hypertensive patients was 0.76 for Hill-Bone, 0.64 for MMAS and 0.91 for the A-14 scale. In non-hypertensive patients, the Cronbach's alpha for MMAS was 0.81 and 0.78 for A-14. A statistically significant difference was found among the mean scores of the scales, whereas strong correlation was found only between two pairs of questions with similar meaning.

Conclusion:

all tools are appropriate to assess the level of medication adherence in Greek hypertensive patients. However, careful translation of the scales is essential since items with the same meaning could be understudied in a different way.

Analogue x digital: Parallel techniques for design learning
Authors: Matthews Linda , Donnelly Samantha
Published: November 2019

With urban space under the ubiquitous scrutiny of digital visioning technologies, the city is now imaged by means of a pixel grid containing ephemeral, qualitative data presented as colour, brightness and shape. Unlike traditional analogue pictorial representational modes, the digital image is a highly transformable mechanism with an unstable distribution of data across its pixel array. As a consequence, representation in the form of spatial abstraction demands not only a new approach to the learning and implementation of traditional disciplinary drawing practice, but a rethinking of the alignment and cooperative nature of analogue and digital drawing models when applied to effective design development. In a pedagogical context, the transition of spatial representation between analogue and digital modes has profound implications for how the student connects seminal drawing and design processes to both the sensorial realm and the physical experience of lived space. This paper therefore explores the enhancement of tertiary learning in digital and abstract literacy through new drawing techniques. Underpinned by a new relationship between representation and envisioned physical space, the techniques are applied within learning environments in parallel with existing analogue pictorial procedures. By building curriculum for foundational students that provides a framework of linked spatial experiences aligned across analogue and digital domains and coupled with tasks focused on the development of conceptual thinking, it proposes increased student success in future studios and professional practice.
Drawing out: Encounter, resistance and collaboration
Authors: Clancy Majella , Felmingham Stephen
Published: November 2019

This collaborative paper is written against the backdrop of a current crisis in art education and provision in UK secondary schools. Education policy and the introduction of the European Baccalaureate (EBacc) has led to an increasing decline in the hours of arts teaching and number of arts teachers in England's secondary schools (). The results of this educational turn are well documented and the effects are being felt now in higher education, in wider culture and in the outcomes for young people in their creative capabilities, global outlook and wellbeing. Drawing pedagogy is considered with reference to this wider context and through the lens of Gert Biesta's philosophy of education that brings children and young people into dialogue with the world. It juxtaposes Tim Ingold and John Dewey in a discussion of a collaborative drawing project, Ailleurs (Elsewhere), an exchange between Plymouth College of Art (PCA) and Ecole Supérieure des Beaux-Arts Montpellier Contemporain (MoCo ESBA) in 2017. The intention is to bring a pedagogy of collaboration, resistance and encounters to bear, to argue for drawing as a singular means of working within this set of tensions. The text concludes that as research or enquiry-led teaching is at the root of an increasing amount of University teaching, finding a route into this from results-led education is a clear challenge to higher education and it sets out a collaborative, peer-to-peer learning strategy as an approach to drawing pedagogy.
Efficacy of Sox10 Promoter Methylation in the Diagnosis of Intestinal Neuronal Dysplasia From the Peripheral Blood
Authors: Liu Yu-Rong , Ba Fang , Cheng Lan-Jie , Li Xu , Zhang Shi-Wei , Zhang Shu-Cheng
Published: November 2019

OBJECTIVES:

Intestinal neuronal dysplasia (IND) is a common malformation of the enteric nervous system. Diagnosis requires a full-thickness colonic specimen and an experienced pathologist, emphasizing the need for noninvasive analytical methods. Recently, the methylation level of the Sox10 promoter has been found to be critical for enteric nervous system development. However, whether it can be used for diagnostic purposes in IND is unclear.

METHODS:

Blood and colon specimens were collected from 32 patients with IND, 60 patients with Hirschsprung disease (HD), and 60 controls. Sox10 promoter methylation in the blood and the Sox10 expression level in the colon were determined, and their correlation was analyzed. The diagnostic efficacy of blood Sox10 promoter methylation was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve.

RESULTS:

The blood level of Sox10 promoter methylation at the 32nd locus was 100% (90%–100%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 92.29%–96.37%) in control, 90% (80%–90%; 95% CI, 82.84%–87.83%) in HD, and 60% (50%–80%; 95% CI, 57.12%–69.76%) in IND specimens. Sox10 promoter methylation in the peripheral blood was negatively correlated with Sox10 expression in the colon, which was low in control, moderate in HD, and high in IND specimens (r = −0.89). The area under the curve of Sox10 promoter methylation in the diagnosis of IND was 0.94 (95% CI, 0.874–1.000, P = 0.000), with a cutoff value of 85% (sensitivity, 90.6%; specificity, 95.0%). By applying a cutoff value of 65%, promoter methylation was more indicative of IND than HD.

DISCUSSION:

The analysis of Sox10 promoter methylation in the peripheral blood can be used as a noninvasive method for IND diagnosis.
The use of gamification in xMOOCs about energy: Effects and predictive models for participants’ learning
Authors: Rincon Flores Elvira G , Mena Juanjo , Ramírez Montoya María Soledad , Ramirez Velarde Raul
Published: November 2019

Open access education has significantly grown in strength as a new way of fostering innovation in schools. Such is the case of massive open online courses (MOOCs), which have the added benefit of encouraging the democratisation of learning. In this sense, the Bi-National Laboratory on Smart Sustainable Energy Management and Technology Training between Mexico and the United States of America was launched with the purpose of trying MOOC technology and measuring its impact on the academic, business, and social sectors. Under this scenario, this study aimed to show the relationship between using gamification and level of performance in a MOOC on energy topics. The methodology was quantitative, using the course analytical data for socio-demographic information and predictive models. A total of 6246 participants enrolled in the MOOC and 1060 finished it. The results showed that participants aged between 20 and 50 had the highest completion rates in the gamified challenge; the higher academic degree, the more inclined participants were to solve the gamified challenge; and no such distinction exists by gender.
Mechanochemistry of von Willebrand factor
Authors: Lancellotti Stefano , Sacco Monica , Basso Maria , Cristofaro Raimondo De
Published: November 2019

Von Willebrand factor (VWF), a blood multimeric protein with a very high molecular weight, plays a crucial role in the primary haemostasis, the physiological process characterized by the adhesion of blood platelets to the injured vessel wall. Hydrodynamic forces are responsible for extensive conformational transitions in the VWF multimers that change their structure from a globular form to a stretched linear conformation. This feature makes this protein particularly prone to be investigated by mechanochemistry, the branch of the biophysical chemistry devoted to investigating the effects of shear forces on protein conformation. This review describes the structural elements of the VWF molecule involved in the biochemical response to shear forces. The stretched VWF conformation favors the interaction with the platelet GpIb and at the same time with ADAMTS-13, the zinc-protease that cleaves VWF in the A2 domain, limiting its prothrombotic capacity. The shear-induced conformational transitions favor also a process of self-aggregation, responsible for the formation of a spider-web like network, particularly efficient in the trapping process of flowing platelets. The investigation of the biophysical effects of shear forces on VWF conformation contributes to unraveling the molecular mechanisms of many types of thrombotic and haemorrhagic syndromes.

Published: November 2019

Head and neck cancer (HNC) is killing young people yearly. The knowledge of HNC risk factors and its symptoms among this population group may go a long way in HNC prevention among them. This study aims to: determine the level of awareness of HNC; determine the prevalence of HNC risk factors; and explore the knowledge of HNC risk factors, HNC symptoms, as well as family history of HNC among youth in the international communities (with focus on the Canadian and Nigerian youth).

Methods

A sample of 801 youth were surveyed using an e-questionnaire. The questionnaire obtained information from each participant about their: socio-demographic information; knowledge of HNC, its risk factors, and its manifestations; and family history of HNC. Data obtained from the participants were analyzed using the Statistical Analysis Software (SAS Version 9.4 for Windows).

Results

The majority (73%) of the surveyed youth (n=801) were residing in Nigeria, seven-tenths of them were between the age 18 and 24 years, and 53% were females. Less than 10% had a history of smoking, 7% were active smokers, and 24% had history of oral sex (of which 57% (108/109) of them had a lifetime history of more than one oral sexual partner). Around half (51%) of the participants had never heard of HNC before. Only 4% knew of a family member who had suffered/is suffering from HNC. Half of the participants were not sure whether HNC can manifest without initial complaint, pain, or symptoms. Only 9% of the participants erroneously believed that HNC is a contagious disease. Comparative analyses among subgroups revealed that a higher proportion of those participants who were: from Canada; young adults; and males generally knew about HNC when compared with the proportions recorded among those in the adolescents; females, and Nigerian participants’ categories. Lastly, 76% of the participants showed interest in knowing more about HNC.

Conclusion

The majority of the surveyed youth demonstrated poor knowledge of HNC. Also, a significant proportion of them are at risk of developing HNC disease in future, if they keep indulging in HNC risky behaviors. There exists the need to conduct community health education programs on HNC among youth in these surveyed communities.

Migrant Journeys of Loss, Uncertainty, and Hope
Authors: Savaş Özlem
Published: November 2019

Is uncertainty, often brought about by loss, collapse, interruption, or disturbance in life, an entirely negative state that must be resolved as soon and as fully as possible by resettlement? Or, can we view uncertainty and loss as affective states that might open up new possibilities for friendships, solidarities, collectivities, and hope? As a response to Carla J. Maier’s ‘The Table and the Dancer’ this essay attends to affective and emotional registers of migration. It attempts to rethink the senses of loss, uprootedness, and uncertainty as possible sources for affinities and hope, with a particular focus on the new migration from Turkey.

Der Text enthält die im dritten Method Lab im Januar 2019 an der Kunstakademie Düsseldorf präsentierten Erhebungen zu Milo Raus Inszenierung Lam Gods – the Ghent Altarpiece am NTGent 2018. Zentral ist hier einerseits die in der Inszenierung thematisierte soziomaterielle Zugänglichkeit des ursprünglichen Altarbilds in der Stadt Gent für ihre aktuelle Bürgerschaft und Touristen, andererseits der Affektraum, insbesondere der Affekt der Scham, der im Reenactment der Adam und Eva-Figuren des Altarbilds in der Inszenierung erzeugt wurde. Die dort auf der Bühne vor den Augen des Kinderchors und den Zuschauer*innen vor der Bühne präsentierte ‚Geste der Scham’ provozierte bei der Forschenden eine affektive Reaktion, die den Umgang mit Scham, Fremdscham und unfreiwilliger Zeugenschaft in der Inszenierung hinterfragte.

Ausgehend davon, dass Räume als relationale performative Gefüge durch prozessuale Dynamiken zwischen Handlungen und Materiellem entstehen, fokussiert sich Wieland in der konkreten Feldforschungssituation besonders auf jene Handlungen, die sich einerseits in den zwischenmenschlichen, wie auch jenen zwischen Menschen, Materialitäten, Klängen und Medien zeigen und die durch das sich zeigen auch bildlich oder materiell erfassbar werden (siehe die Zeichnungen in diesem Beispiel).
Italian compounds
Authors: Masini Francesca , Scalise Sergio
Published: November 2019

This paper aims at giving an up-to-date picture of compounding in Italian on the basis of most recent literature. First and foremost, we illustrate the basic units of Italian compounds, including semiwords, and we offer an operational definition of compounding that will be adopted throughout the paper. Secondly, we focus on the crucial issue of the demarcation of compounds: several criteria are given to distinguish compounds from derived words, phrases and also phrasal lexemes. Third, we offer a classification of Italian compounds according to two hierarchically ordered criteria – the grammatical relation between the constituents and the presence/absence of the head – and then we illustrate the main formation patterns that give rise to such compounds. Finally, we discuss crucial theoretical issues such as headedness and the relationship between compounding and inflection.
Spanish compounds
Authors: Guevara Emiliano R.
Published: November 2019

This paper provides with a descriptive overview of the main productive patterns in present-day Spanish compounding, their structural and semantic characteristics. In this paper we try to maintain a theory-neutral point of view, although some theoretical stances are mandatory in order to accomplish the descriptive aims. Following previous work (for example Rainer and Varela 1992), a great number of minor processes and the so-called “syntagmatic compounds” are excluded from the discussion. The plan is to show that Spanish compounds form a relatively simple and harmonic scheme: it is a predominantly endocentric system that produces new Nouns and Adjectives, which can be left- or right-headed.
Liaison Patterns and Usage in Jersey Norman French
Authors: Jones Mari C.
Published: November 2019

This study aims to provide the first systematic analysis of liaison in a dialect spoken within French linguistic territory. It focuses on Jersey Norman French (Jèrriais to its speakers), an obsolescent (langue d'oïl) variety spoken in the Channel Islands. Using methodology based on the protocol developed by the Phonologie du français contemporain project (Durand and Lyche 2003), it investigates liaison usage in a number of different syntactic contexts and across two different speech styles. On the whole, the contexts that trigger obligatory liaison in standard French do the same in Jèrriais. However, very different patterns emerge for optional liaison and for conversational vs. reading style. Moreover, despite the fact that high degrees of individual variation are often present in obsolescent speech communities, a striking uniformity of liaison usage-patterns was recorded across informants.
When Syncretism Meets Word Order. On Clitic Order in Romanian
Authors: Săvescu Oana
Published: November 2019

Romanian singular clitics are unique among their counterpars in other Romance languages in that they exhibit different forms for dative (mi, ţi) and accusative case (mă, te). In contrast, 1st and 2nd person plural clitics are case syncretic: the forms ne and vă are used both in the dative and in the accusative. Moreover, in non-finite environments, following gerunds and imperatives, non-syncretic (singular) clitics unambiguously exhibit the order dative accusative, while syncretic (plural) clitics show the reverse, accusative dative order. This paper focuses specifically on this correlation between case syncretism (or lack thereof) and the ordering possibilities of postverbal clitics, showing that the relation receives a principled syntactic explanation. The ordering of postverbal Romanian clitics, as well as the contrast between case syncretic and syncretic clusters are derived through the interaction between (i) morpho-syntactic effects due to case syncretism, (ii) remnant VP movement, and (iii) a representational view on locality, in the spirit of Rizzi (2001), Krapova and Cinque (2005).
The evolving grammar of the French subjunctive
Authors: Poplack Shana , Lealess Allison , Dion Nathalie
Published: November 2019

This paper compares the evolution and contemporary distribution of subjunctive and indicative in spoken Quebec French with the development of normative injunctions on variant choice over five centuries of grammatical tradition. The subjunctive has been prescribed with hundreds of lexical governors, verb classes and semantic readings since the 16th century, but in spontaneous speech, it is virtually limited to a handful of matrix and embedded verbs. Our analysis shows that the overriding determinant of variant choice is not meaning, as most would claim, but the lexical identity of the governor. The only other factors that play a role are those pertaining to the construal of the context as canonical for subjunctive (e.g. suppletive morphology, presence of the complementizer que, and adjacency of main to embedded clause); where these are present, subjunctive is favored. Quantitative discrepancies among governors and embedded verbs, their previously undocumented associations (or lack thereof) with the subjunctive, and the unpredictable mood preferences they display at different points in time have all conspired in obscuring community patterns. Once actual usage facts are systematically analyzed, however, the grammar of subjunctive selection emerges as regular and stable. Its discrepancies with respect to both normative and theoretical linguistic accounts stem from attempts to impose the doctrine of form-function symmetry on a phenomenon which is inherently variable.

The Impact Of Power And Relationship Quality On Value Creation and Appropriation in Buyer–Supplier Relationships
Authors: Mdarhri Alaoui Saâd , Noureddine Amine
Published: November 2019

Business relationships provide the means to create and appropriate superior value in business markets. However, despite the proliferation of research on the phenomenon, many questions remain unaddressed. Previous work focused almost exclusively on value after its creation and its sharing between the two exchange partners. Consequently, the appropriation of value as well as its interaction with value creation remains relatively unknown. Similarly, a few studies have examined the role of relational variables and power asymmetry in customer–supplier exchange relationships. To fill this gap, this study aims to examine the influence of relationship quality and power on value creation and appropriation and ultimately, on satisfaction and relationship continuity. Based on the theory of social exchange, this study proposes a conceptual model, which positions value creation and appropriation as central variables in the nomological network of business relationships. A quantitative study of 174 suppliers was carried out in order to compare the theoretical model with the empirical reality. The results obtained show that the relationship quality promotes greater value creation and appropriation in ongoing business relationships. As for power, its influence differs depending on how it is exercised within the relationship. Moreover, the appropriation of value remains the main driver of partner satisfaction, a sine qua non condition for the continuity of the relationship. This present research contributes to a better understanding of value creation-appropriation in ongoing business relationships. By strategically managing their customer–supplier relationships, managers can create and capture greater value and gain a competitive advantage.

Published: November 2019

Introduction: According to the several evidences, using thromboelastometry as a point of care test canbe effective in reduction in blood loss and transfusion requirements in cardiac surgeries. However,there are limited data regarding to the comparison of thromboelastometry and the standard coagulationtests. In this study, we compared thromboelastometry and standard coagulation tests (PT, PTT andfibrinogen level) in patients under combined coronary-valve surgery. Methods: Forty adult patients who were under on-pump combined coronary-valve surgery wereincluded in this study. Thromboelastometry tests Fibtem, Intem, Extem and Heptem), along withstandard coagulation tests (PT, PTT and fibrinogen assay) were simultaneously performed in two timepoints, before and after the pump (pre-CPB and post-CPB, respectively). Results: A total of 80 blood samples were analyzed. There were no significant correlation between PTtest and the CT-Extem parameter as well as PTT and CT-Intem parameter either in pre-CPB and post-CPB (P > 0.05). On the contrary, fibrinogen level had high correlation with A10-Fibtem and A10-Extemin pre-PCB (P < 0.05). 82% of PT and 84% of PTT measurements were outside the reference range,while abnormal CT in Extem and Intem was observed in 17.9%. Conclusion: For management of bleeding, adequate perioperative haemostatic monitoring isindispensable during cardiac surgery. Standard coagulation tests are time consuming and cannot beinterchangeably used with thromboelastomety and relying on their results to decide whether bloodtransfusion is necessary, leads to the inappropriate transfusion.

Authors: Pourkia Roghayeh , Hassani Seyed Habibollah , Mouodi Simin
Published: November 2019

This study aimed to present a case of 33-year old man who was admitted with a history of one week headache and acute diplopia. No important finding was reported in his past medical history. Brain CT-scan revealed a large mass lesion in left parieto-occipital area with prominent vasogenic edema and midline shift. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a mass with size of 5*4*5 centimeter with ring enhancement. After cranial surgery and removing the mass, transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) were conducted to find the source of brain abscess. Right ventricular (RV) and right atrial (RA) enlargement, significant left to right shunt, normal left ventricular (LV) and RV function, bidirectional shunt in addition to moderate size superior sinus venosus type atrial septal defect (ASD) were detected. Considering that most of brain abscesses have hematogenous source, a complete cardiac evaluation including TEE with contrast study is suggested for evaluation of patients with brain abscess.

Published: November 2019

In order to find natural and inexpensive bioinsecticides, the active compound of waste extract from two medicinal plants were analyzed.  Ethanolic extracts of Amomum cardamomum and Zingiber zerumbet were evaluated under laboratory conditions for their repellency against rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae, L.). Four extracts concentration were tested in this research, i.e: 25, 50, 75 and 100%.  Efficacy was measured based on the response of rice weevil in preference tests using Y Olfactometer Tube, then the results were converted into the Percentage Repellency (PR) and Preference Index (PI). The PR data were analyzed using ANOVA, whereas PI values were analyzed descriptively. The result showed that the PR were significantly (LSD test; α> 0.05) and revealed that waste extracts repel the rice weevil at 100% solution.  The highest PR was found at 100% solution in both extracts, however, statistically the repellency of A. cardamomum waste extract was higher than Z. zerumbet’s. Likewise, the PI of both extracts showed negative value at 75 and 100% concentration. This study concluded that extract of A. cardamomum and Z. zerumbet wastes have repellent effect against rice weevil and A. cardamomum repellency is better than Z. zerumbet. The findings of this study can provide a useful information for development of a rice weevil repellent extracted from waste product of medicinal plants that is more economically and environmentally friendly than synthetic insect repellents.

Cholesterol in quail meat is one of the factors causing consumers to control consumption of quail meat. On the other hand, the antioxidant content in quail meat could attracts the consumers. Cinnamon (Cinnamomum sp.) bark and gotu kola (Centella asiatica) leaves are medicinal plants that contain many polyphenol compounds. The objective of this study was to obtain the most optimum formula made from cinnamon and gotu kola as a feed supplement to produce the quail meat which has low cholesterol but rich in antioxidants. This study used a completely randomized design which consisting of six groups with three replications. The six groups included one control (P0), 5 treatments consisted of 5% cinnamon (P1), 5% gotu kola (P2), combination of cinnamon and gotu kola powder with ratio 5%:5% (P3), 5%:10% (P4) and 10%:5% (P5).  The results showed that food supplements made from cinnamon bark and gotu kola leaves could increase the body weight, antioxidant levels, and reduce cholesterol levels in quail meat. Cinnamon as feed supplement with a concentration of 5% or a combination of cinnamon and gotu kola with a ratio of 5%: 10% provided the best effect on antioxidants and cholesterol level in meat. The use of cinnamon and gotu kola supplementation to produce high antioxidant and low cholesterol of quail met have not studied yet. The result of the study would be beneficial for developing the healthy, safe and good quality of quail meat.

The coastal region is a dynamic area as a transition between the land and the sea. The ecological function of the coastal area is affected mainly by the structure and composition of vegetation factors. This study aims to analyze the vegetation stratification of terrestrial to marine ecosystems in the coastal area of Semarang City, Central Java Indonesia as an effort to manage a sustainable ecosystem. A striped path combined with nested plots were applied in this research. The plots were placed by systematic purposive sampling based on the homogeneity of vegetation found along with the topographic conditions of the research location. Analysis of qualitative data used by way of inventorying plants and identifying plants based on morphological characteristics that can be observed. Data analysis was performed based on the results of an inventory of the structure and composition of vegetation obtained including the index of diversity, evenness, and species richness. The results of plant identification found in the three locations recorded 51 plant species consisting of 29 families. The different types of vegetation in Taman Lele, Tapak, and Tirang Beach affect the diversity, richness, and evenness index of vegetation in all three locations. Therefore, it can be concluded that different environmental factors contribute to the vegetation stratification from the land to the sea. This is the first report on the Semarang coastal area vegetation stratification. The results can have a positive impact on the coastal area conservation strategy for sustainable management, as well as to be a media for environmental education purpose.

Houseflies (Musca domestica) is an disease-carrying insect  that plays an important role in the spread of disease in humans and animals. One way to control houseflies is using Miana leaves (Coleus blumei) as botanical pesticide. The purpose of this study was to determine the chemical compounds contained in Miana leaf as well as determine the optimal concentration of Miana leaf extract in causing knockdown effect in houseflies. Miana leaf fine powder was soaked with methanol (maceration) for 3 days followed byphytochemical screening (chemical reagents and Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrophotometry (GCMS) and anti-houseflies toxicity tests. Testing of methanolic extract of Miana leaves was made in the form of spray using the knockdown method at concentrations of 5%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% and observed in 5, 10 and 15 minutes. The results of phytochemical screening with chemical reagents showed that the extract contained alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, saponins and terpenoids; while the results of GCMS analysis showed 8 bioactive compounds. The results of the study revealed that at a concentration of 30% and 40%, methanolic extract of Miana leaves could result in a knockdown effect that was accompanied by death with a percentage value of 100% in the first 5 minutes of observation. This research shows that methanolic extract of Miana leaves can be used as an alternative to botanical pesticides in controlling houseflies (Musca domestica).

The lack of good stigma is attached to student activists, ranging from the unsatisfactory level of academic quality, graduating on time, not responsive and very reactive, hard and opposing views, to demonstrations that are colored by violence. The stigma is only in a few cases, not all activists face such conditions, but this stigma seems to have been far attached. The development of student activists today demands that activists must also have three literacy abilities: data literacy, humanitarian literacy, and technological literacy. However, based on the preliminary results of this activity, 90 percent of UNNES Law School student activists agreed that activists must have a critical attitude and critical writing skills, but only about 10 percent of activists who had taken it seriously (thought publications in various forms). This activity is aimed at developing the critical abilities of student activists through increased publications in various media. This activity also aims to establish a critical writing community for student activists and present a concrete forum for channeling ideas and solutions for student activists in writing that can be read by many people. This activity is carried out through a critical thinking approach in legal studies using the IRAC (Issue, Rule, Application, Conclusion) method which is commonly used in analyzing various cases in legal study thinking.
