Published: August 2021

This study investigated dietary supplementation of weaned lambs with Origanum vulgare essential oil and Capsicum oleoresin (chilli pepper) extract. Thirty-six eight-week-old male and female Menemen lambs were used in this study. Three dietary treatment groups consisted of T1, an unsupplemented control group; T2, a group supplemented with 300 mg/kg oregano essential oil, and T3, a group supplemented with 300 mg/kg Capsicum oleoresin. Feed and fresh water were available to the lambs ad libitum during the 56-day experiment. No significant effects of treatment were detected on growth rate, feed intake and feed conversion. In addition, serum urea, creatine, total protein, albumin, amylase, aspartate amino transferase (AST), alanine amino transferase (ALT), and gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels did not differ among treatments on day 56 of the study. When oregano oil and capsicum extract were added to the feed, total volatile fatty acids (TVFA), acetate (AA), propionate (PA), butyrate (BA), isobutyrate (IBA), valerate (VA), and AA to PA ratio in the rumen were decreased significantly in comparison with the control group at two hours after feeding, with the effect of T2 being greater than that of T3. Female lambs had lower levels of TVFA than male lambs. Thus, although neither additive affected fattening performance and serum constituents of the lambs, both altered the rumen fatty acid profile.
Local people and mangroves: Ecosystem perception and valuation on the south west coast of Mauritius
Authors: Abib Shafiiq , Appadoo Chandani
Published: August 2021

Mangrove ecosystem services are multi-dimensional (ecological, socio-cultural and economic), and their valuation is complex as not all of these dimensions are quantifiable in terms of monetary value. The main goal of this study was to determine the perception of local residents on the economic values of the mangrove ecosystem along the south west coast of Mauritius (Savanne and Black River Districts). A survey questionnaire (Savanne district, N=142; Black River district, N=126) was designed electronically in English and Mauritian Creole language using dichotomous, multiple choices and closed ended questions. The mean value for the awareness score was 52.3 and the standard deviation was 4.8 for the district of Savanne as compared to Black River district, where the mean value was 53.8 and the standard deviation was 9.0. The mangrove products harvested by locals from the surveyed sites were fish, crabs and oysters. The respondents were less willing to contribute to mangrove conservation activities both in terms of money (Savanne district, 4.2 %; Black River district, 3.9 %), and time (Savanne district, 7 %; Black River district, 4 %). Hence, campaigns and education programmes are critical to raise the awareness and concern of local residents to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14 in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) like Mauritius.
Modeling and assessing systematic risk in stock markets in major oil exporting countries
Authors:   University of Khartoum, Onour Ibrahim A.
Published: August 2021

Introduction. This paper aims to assess time variability of beta coefficients (systematic risk) of Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) using data from five key sectors in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait stock markets. Material and methods. To assess time – varying systematic risk we employed symmetric as well as asymmetric conditional volatility specifications to account for skewness and leptkurtosis of high frequency financial time series to better specify conditional higher moments. Results & discussions. The results of the paper support significant evidence of time-varying beta coefficients for all sectors included in the study, in particular the banking sector, and relatively with a lesser degree ,the food, and the service sectors in both countries. For the banking sector in Saudi Arabia, the beta coefficients variability during the sample period estimated between (0.18 to 22.1), and also for Kuwait stock market the beta coefficient of the banking sector variability estimated between (0.16 to 22.1). This result invalidates, at least in the context of the sample country’s banking sectors, the standard application of (CAPM) that assumes constant beta coefficients. Also indicated in the paper, time-varying beta estimates are consistent with a modified version of CAPM prediction that is portfolios with wider range of beta variations expected to yield higher return values and those with lower range of beta variations yield lower returns. Conclusion. In this new context, risk is no longer is a point estimate as implied by the standard CAPM model, but it is a range of values. Our findings also show the size and the range of beta variations are sensitive to skewness and fat tailedness that characterize asset returns distribution.

Published: August 2021

Introduction. The socio-economic development of states is largely determined by the degree of rational use of natural resources. The current stage of development objectively requires effective scientific and practical approaches to solving the problems of harmonizing the economy and human-nature interaction. The purpose of the research is to analyze the socio-economic aspects of the rational use of natural resources. Materials and methods. A theoretical analysis of research materials (publications in periodicals, conference and analytical proceedings) was used. Results. Economic interest, with the help of which the harmonization of the economic and ecological subsystems is carried out, is the driving factor in the economic system development. At the same time, state regulation is the main element in the market mechanism system, which ensures the combination of personal and public interests in the social production system. Conclusion. Currently, the development of the ecological system is inseparable from the economic one. This implies a unified ecological and economic system with ecological and economic complexes as the subsystems.
Adaptive Coordinated Control Strategy of Multi Manipulator System based on Multi-Agent

Published: August 2021

With people's increasing awareness of life and the increasing complexity of exploration in unknown environment, a single robot can not meet the increasing demand, including the price, flexibility and efficiency of robots. As a common mechanical control system in industrial production instead of human production, multi manipulator system can be applied in complex environment, multi task and other conditions. In order to settle the coordinated control fault of multi manipulator system, we study adaptive coordinated control strategy with the help of multi-agent research method in this paper, which can simplify the complexity of the problem and design an efficient and feasible system control protocol. The complex items in the multi manipulator system are treated as non affine systems. Using the design idea of non affine algorithm, combined with implicit function theorem and median theorem, the non affine system is transformed into affine systems, the controller is separated, and a distributed adaptive control strategy is designed. The results indicate that manipulator systems can effectively track the active manipulator system in finite time and the significance of the algorithm is proven by MATLAB simulation analysis.

Published: August 2021

Nesse artigo iremos acenar como Literatura e Teologia se relacionam num tripé: espiritualidade, poesia e memória. Traremos as criações de alguns poetas e poetisas que em suas obras manifestam uma espiritualidade mística que provocam um correlacionamento entre a arte literária e a reflexão teológica. Buscaremos algumas obras de Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Adélia Prado, Mario Quintana, Ferreira Gullar, Fernando Pessoa, José Tolentino de Mendonça, Manuel de Barros, Murilo Mendes, Nicanor Parra e a partir delas usaremos o suporte da Teopoética, que consiste em uma reflexão acadêmica entre Literatura e Teologia, trazendo estudos já realizados por teóricos da área. Com isso queremos mostrar como é possível fazer poesia com espiritualidade, e como a Teologia pode fazer bom proveito da arte poética para a fé.
As árvores nos Salmos. Elementos para uma educação espiritual e ambiental
Authors: Grenzer Matthias , Agostinho Leonardo Henrique Silva
Published: August 2021

A fé cristã, atenta à palavra de Deus, insiste em relações responsáveis e amorosas entre os seres humanos e, da mesma forma, em relações respeitosas e sustentáveis entre os seres humanos e os animais, vegetais e seres abióticos (água, ar, solo, calor). À vista disso, além de estudar a racionalidade desse tipo de comportamento, favorece-se um esforço espiritual, o qual, há dois milênios, encontra na leitura e oração dos Salmos um norte importante. Surpreende, no entanto, o quanto esses poemas bíblicos, entre outros aspectos, insistem na contemplação da natureza. Ou seja, parece existir uma proposta ecoespiritual nos Salmos que insiste na descoberta da beleza e importância de cada ser, favorecendo-se, assim, uma compreensão mais autêntica do ser humano e de Deus. Para verificar tal hipótese, investiga-se aqui a presença das árvores nos Salmos.

Intervention in the form of vision rehabilitation has enabled many people to successfully meet and overcome the challenges posed by low vision. Part one of this two-part feature presented a four-phase, interdisciplinary model of low vision services that can be applied to any setting. This paper (part two) focuses on methods of assessing low vision, providing clinical services, and establishing an adaptive training and instructional program. The collaborative relationship between the patient/client, low vision physician (optometrist or ophthalmologist), and allied health professional (specifically, the occupational therapist) is described.
A Study of Pneumothorax Rates for Physician Assistants Inserting Central Venous Catheters at a Large Urban Hospital
Authors: Cox Theresa , Parish Thomas , Reasoner Robert
Published: August 2021

Physician Assistants (PAs) are frequently delegated the task of performing invasive procedures. While there is a nearly 40 year record of PAs performing procedures of various types, limited published information is available that verifies the safety of delegating these medical responsibilities. As the scope of practice expands for the PA profession, research data will be necessary to document the safety and effectiveness of PAs performing invasive procedures. This prospectivestudy followed 9 PAs inserting central venous catheter (CVC) lines in pulmonary critical care and cardiothoracic surgery settings in a large urban hospital from June 1, 2002 through December 1, 2002. Each PA required general supervision for the procedures. The most common complication of CVC placement is pneumothorax. None of these occurred during the study period in 233 CVC lines inserted by PAs. Additionally, during the study period, this group of PAs inserted 75 Swan-Ganz catheters, performed 25 thoracenteses, 30 endotracheal intubations, and 10 chest tube placements. Complications were noted and recorded via the on site researcher. The only complication noted during the study period was a single pneumothorax while performing a thoracentesis. This research study demonstrates that with the proper training and supervision from a physician, PAs can perform invasive medical procedures with a complication rate comparable to that of physicians in a similar setting.
Justifying Core Faculty Assessment of Students’ Clinical Performance Using Cognitive Flexibility Theory: A Case Example
Authors: Greene Revenda , Rogers Gloria
Published: August 2021

Allied health practitioners who are also educators understand their dual responsibility to educate students and to serve as gatekeepers to their profession. They are challenged with selecting and preparing students to practice in a skilled, competent manner. During the formal educational process, the academic and clinical aspects of allied health education are equally important. However, the assessment of the students' clinical skills is usually left to clinical instructors who are not members of the core faculty, and whose clinical skills and expectations may vary widely. While not minimizing the role of clinical faculty in the education of health care professionals, an argument can be made for the increased involvement of core faculty in this process. To accomplish that objective, the Howard University physical therapy faculty developed and implemented a course module with core-faculty assessment of students' clinical performance as its foundation. That course module was an effective educational tool, which may have wider implications and applications in the education of allied health students.
Desafios da indústria brasileira de petróleo na próxima década
Authors: Pinto Jr. Helder Queiroz
Published: August 2021

A Indústria Brasileira de Petróleo (IBP) tem cada vez maior inserção internacional, decorrente das descobertas das importantes reservas do pré-sal e da nova condição exportadora de óleo bruto. Para tal, teve papel crucial as inovações tecnológicas nos projetos de exploração e produção offshore. Entretanto, dado o contexto de transição energética e de necessidade de respostas estruturadas para superar as crises sanitária e econômica, é de esperar que a conjugação das novas tecnologias, as mudanças nos padrões de produção e consumo de energia, as novas estratégias empresariais, bem como a redefinição dos objetivos e instrumentos de política energética e de regulação exerçam, de forma conjugada, um setor energético muito diferente ao final desta década. Não obstante, as vantagens comparativas do Brasil podem ser potencialmente aproveitadas e ensejar um processo de retomada do dinamismo da IBP. Para tal será necessário,contudo, estabelecer diretrizes de política energética mais claras que contemplem o papel da Petrobras na IBP e que crie, simultaneamente, um regime de incentivos para os investimentos necessários e para a garantia do abastecimento ao longo da cadeia produtiva do petróleo e derivados.
SUFFERING AND SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD ACCORDING TO JOHN PIPER AND ITS IMPLICATION FOR THE CHURCH TODAY
Authors: Woyesa Tigist
Published: August 2021

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the theology of suffering from a biblical perspective by using literature review as methodology.

Methodology: One of the foundational evangelical presuppositions for theological research is that Scripture is divinely authored and is therefore without error, and authoritative for our faith and practice.

Findings: The study found that suffering is biblical and should be expected by all Christians as they are not exempted from it, unlike prosperity teaching. Suffering has the purpose of refining and maturing our faith. Further, it is to display the greatness of the glory of the grace of God.   

Unique Contribution to theory and practice: Therefore, it is recommended for Christians to depend on God at all seasons by asking for wisdom and grace from him. So in this paper, the relationship between suffering and the sovereignty of God and its implication to the church will be discussed with a particular focus on John Piper's work

Published: August 2021

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhea that infects the lining of the bladder, cervix, rectum, throat, and the whites of the eyes. This disease is spread through the bloodstream to other parts of the body, especially the skin and joints and is generally transmitted through sexual contact. Gonorrhea not only affects adult men and women, but babies and even newborns can get gonorrhea from their mothers. An expert system is a system that seeks to adopt human knowledge into computers, so that computers can solve problems like an expert. With this expert system, the public can obtain information or can solve the problems they face which can only be obtained with the help of experts in their fields. This study explains how the expert system diagnoses Gonorrhea using the Naïve Bayes method. By using the Naïve Bayes method, it can predict future probability values based on previous experiences experienced by people with gonorrhea, Document classification can be personalized, tailored to the needs of each person. By using this expert system application, it can provide information and make it easier for the public to be more familiar with Gonorrhea and can handle problems based on the expertise of doctors who are experts in their fields. This expert system can provide solutions and prevention of gonorrhea disease with the diagnosis process carried out efficiently and save time in helping the community in the prevention that occurs. This web-based expert system application is built with the PHP programming language and MySQL data storage.

seja do ponto de vista físico ou químico. É o objetivo deste trabalho quantificar e compreender as alterações físicas e químicas causadas pelo fogo no solo do Cerrado (latossolo vermelho-amarelo). Foram coletadas amostras de solo em 3 pontos da área de estudo, em duas profundidades (5 e 35 cm), antes e após a ação do fogo, para avaliação dos parâmetros físico-químicos. Os resultados indicaram que a granulometria foi levemente alterada nas duas condições das amostras, porém, o fogo atua modificando o material mais granular em material mais fino, ocasionando menor permeabilidade superficial do solo. Com relação aos atributos de química do solo, houve aumento das concentrações de Mg+2, Ca+2 e K+, evidenciando a transição do pH ácido para alcalino após a passagem do fogo para as amostras sobre a superfície do solo além da redução de Al+3 (pós-queima e vegetação), tornando o solo menos ácido, ou seja, a ação do fogo melhora as condições de fertilidade do solo.

Financial Factors Affecting Price-to-Earnings Ratios in Canada
Authors: Antalovschi Natalia Popa , Cox Raymond A. K.
Published: August 2021

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to ascertain which financial factors affect the price-to-earnings ratios of Canadian firms.

Methodology: A sample of 578 Canadian firms, across 11 industries, listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange during 2011 to 2018 is examined. Stock prices and financial statements accounts data is collected from S & P Capital IQ. We compute 27 financial factors to use as independent variables to regress on the price-to-earnings ratio dependent variables employing the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) utilizing the software program’s forced, forward, and backward selection methods. Robustness tests are conducted using alternative dates (after the fiscal year end) to discover which model of financial factors best explains the forward price-to-earnings ratio as well as other statistical methods such as analysis of variance.

Results: We find a unique model for each of the 3 models based on the forward price-to-earnings ratio date. The financial factors that explain each of the dates after the end of the fiscal year (1 month, 2 months, and 3 months) are the 4 variables: net profit margin, return on investment, total asset turnover, and the natural logarithm of the total assets. For model 3 (1 month after fiscal year end), in addition to the previous 4 factors, the dividends per share is part of the regression equation. All 3 models have strong statistically significant results at an alpha level of one percent. Further, industry effects are deduced and presented.

Unique contribution to theory, policy, and practice: The results are unique to a Canadian sample of firms post- International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adoption. Companies can utilize the empirical findings to manage their financial performance to maximize their price-to-earnings ratio. A product of a firm’s higher price-to-earnings ratio is a lower cost of capital which expands the corporation’s investment opportunities. Investors can apply this research to develop investment strategies hinged on price-to-earnings ratios to augment investment returns.

Poesia ao grau de brinquedo: Uma leitura de Manoel de Barros
Authors: Rodrigues Rafaela Moreira
Published: August 2021

Este artigo propõe uma leitura crítica da poesia de Manoel de Barros - com ênfase nos poemas presentes no livro Memórias Inventadas. As Infâncias de Manoel de Barros -, tendo em vista a preocupação com o exercício poético presente na obra. Na verdade, verifica-se a existência de um jogo dinâmico caracterizado por uma poesia que se quer reflexiva ao passo que evoca a materialidade feita “brinquedo”. As metapoesias, frequentes nessa obra, deixam claro que o desejo do poeta é alcançar algo que é anterior à palavra e, portanto, pretende situar-se no princípio do que se pode dizer, por isso, é recorrente o uso de referências como a criança, os pássaros e/ ou os andarilhos. Essa situação primitiva/primordial parece ser a fronteira entre perceber o mundo e as coisas e conceituá-los. Isto é, entre a percepção sensorial e a organização do sentido dessas coisas em linguagem, acontece uma “travessia”, um deslocamento de uma condição para outra. Diante disso, foi possível indagar de que maneira a poesia se realiza como brinquedo e arte de brincar pelo “trans-uso” da linguagem, ou seja, pensar as relações entre brinquedo e poesia observando a possibilidade de serem instrumentos que viabilizam o deslocamento entre significantes e significados.
Poéticas Hesitantes
Authors: Zaparoli Suzy
Published: August 2021

Resumo: Neste trabalho, propomos uma análise da obra poética Elefantes dentro de um sussurro (2017) de Marcelo Reis de Mello, em que notamos ser, para além de um livro de poesias, um projeto artístico gráfico, impulsionado por um movimento entre imagem e texto poético. Há, também, uma oscilação entre palavra dicionarizada - levada ao seu extremo, fixada através de carimbos - e palavra poética que o poeta busca em lugares diversos, seja em recortes de Wikipédia, em reportagens, em links na internet, em fragmento de entrevistas ou, antropofagicamente, em filósofos e artistas. Esse procedimento de montagem potencializa a palavra e, dessa forma, a abertura de significações, criando novos olhares.
A Formação Intelectual de Nestor Victor: Caminhos para o Sincretismo

Nestor Victor é considerado um dos introdutores do Simbolismo no Brasil, tendo colaborado para sua difusão por meio da crítica, da poesia e da ficção. No entanto, tendo tomado como principal característica desse movimento a libertação de modelos pré-concebidos, o autor assume-se romântico, no sentido de propagar a defesa da liberdade de criação. Neste trabalho, abarcaremos como diversas correntes de pensamento, provenientes de diversos autores de literatura e filosofia, fizeram parte da sua concepção literária, ao amalgamar tendências circulantes no meio intelectual. Ele é um pensador e artista que destoa do compromisso de se posicionar sobre uma plataforma, preferindo dar máximo vigor ao subjetivismo. Signos, obra de contos, publicado em 1897, é sua principal contribuição para a propagação do sincretismo.

MNCs are increasingly sending expatriates to their foreign subsidiaries in order to acquire best resources, and to cater to unexplored markets. This requires the executives to develop their global competencies. Once the expatriate has developed skills, far enough to sustain in the overseas, it becomes a challenge to settle him/her back in the home country when the expatriate assignment is over. Research evidences show that, there is a high percentage of repatriate turnover i.e the repatriate leaving the parent organization, upon return from the foreign assignment, resulting in both direct and indirect losses to the parent company. The purpose of this paper is to look into the reasons for repatriation turnover. The proposed model links repatriate turnover intentions to key causing factors such as repatriate expectation upon return and repatriate perception of organizational support practices. Data was gathered from 115 repatriates working in the major oil and gas industry, which included both government and private sector companies. The results of the study conclusively established that unmet expectations of expatriate were a significant cause for turnover intention of repatriate, while ineffective repatriation practices of company was not.

The influence of school leadership on commitment, motivation, trust and interpersonal conflict among teachers at selected secondary schools in the Phoenix central region
Authors:   , Misra Pravin Ramprasad
Published: August 2021

The writer's observation of staff at selected secondary schools in the Phoenix Central Region has indicated that serious problems exist at these schools. The problems identified relate to teachers' lack of commitment, motivation, trust and the presence of interpersonal conflict among them. These observations have been found to be similar to the findings of other researchers and numerous articles that have appeared in the media also confirm the existence of similar problems in other schools in South Africa. The problems mentioned above have had a negative impact on the effectiveness of these schools in achieving their goals. The writer believes that these problems can be connected to a lack of effective leadership on the part of principals in these schools. In this study the writer reviewed the relevant literature in order to identify strategies that principals could use to overcome the problems outlined above. To isolate and address the root causes of the problems, the writer found it necessary to clarify and distinguish between the key concepts of 'leadership' and 'management'. Thereafter, the writer discussed some important skills and qualities he believes are necessary for effective leadership.

Secretaries form a very important component of the labour market in South Africa, therefore appropriate education and training in this field is essential. It is only in the last decade that young black people have entered this career path. ~ ';4~ ,':'l.!. To meet the needs of employers, Technikon Mangosuthu introduced National secretarial courses in 1982. Of the first twenty students ~ho enrolled, only six were successful in completing the course. They were eagerly snapped up by employers who expressed great satisfaction with their work. It became clear during the course of training the students, that they had numerous problems which hampered their progress. Their English ability was not up to the standard required for this level of study. Students had serious difficulties in adapting to the use of electronic office equipment. Socio-economic problems also contributed to the students' inability to succeed in their studies. The problems seemed insurmountable. It was clear that positive steps needed to be taken to improve the situation. This dissertation is concerned with the education of secretarial students at Technikon Mangosuthu and investigates the backgrounds of students at six technikons in an attempt to identify problems and their causes with the aim of alleviating these problems and providing the labour market with well trained, efficient secretaries. Typing Technology is a major subject in the three year National Secretarial Diploma. This subject, in keeping with the development of modern technology, comprises three components: Typing Techniques, Word Processing and Audio Typing. To pass this subject, a high level of proficiency is required. The students at Technikon Mangosuthu come from a non-technological and socially disadvantaged background and the initial introduction to office technology comes as a cultural shock to them. Lecturers need to assist students in making the transition as quickly and easily as possible by identifying problems and adapting methods of teaching to help students overcome the problems.

The Sri Lankan government and the University Grant Commission (UGC) of Sri Lanka have encouraged every university and higher education institution to adopt online education methods in response to ongoing issues with the COVID-19 virus. This study examines the challenges and new opportunities in online education in Sri Lanka during the covid-19 epidemic. A qualitative approach was utilized to achieve the study's goals, and semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather data. The respondents were undergraduates and faculty members of the University of Kelaniya. Thematic analysis was performed to analyze the outcomes of the study. This research identified three major challenges and four significant opportunities in online education at the University of Kelaniya. The researchers also made several recommendations for an effective online education strategy based on the study's findings. The results provide essential guidance for modernizing conventional education and propose that Sri Lankan educational institutions reassess their learning methods.

Представлены результаты мультицентрового открытого рандомизированного клинического исследования, цель которого заключалась в оценке протективных свойств кисломолочного пробиотического напитка, содержащего штаммы Lactobacillus acidophilus и Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (BB-12), обогащенного пребиотиком (инулин), цинком, кальцием и витамином D3 для профилактики развития ранних и поздних осложнений антибактериальной терапии у детей от 8 до 36 месяцев с острой респираторной инфекцией. В задачи исследования входило определение частоты развития и выраженности желудочно-кишечных расстройств в зависимости от включения в рацион питания пробиотического кисломолочного напитка для ежедневного употребления в течение трех месяцев. Показана информативность использования Брюссельской шкалы форм кала (BITSS) для детей раннего возраста при оценке характера стула у детей с острой респираторной инфекцией, получивших курс антибактериальной терапии. Установлено, что прием кисломолочного пробиотического напитка, содержащего Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis, инулин, цинк, кальций и витамин D3, в течение трех месяцев, начиная с первого дня антибактериальной терапии, способствует поддержанию стабильности консистенции кала в ходе лечения и в период восстановления после него снижает частоту развития желудочно-кишечных расстройств, риск развития ранних и поздних осложнений, связанных с приемом антибиотиков.

The paper presents the results of a multicenter, open, randomized clinical trial aimed at assessing the protective properties of a fermented milk probiotic drink containing Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (BB-12), enriched with prebiotic (inulin), zinc, calcium and vitamin D3 to prevent the development of early and late complications of antibiotic therapy in children aged 8 to 36 months with acute respiratory infection. The objectives of the study were to determine the incidence and severity of gastrointestinal disorders depending on the inclusion in the diet of a probiotic fermented milk drink for daily use for three months. The informative value of using the Brussels Infant and Toddler Stool Scale (BITSS) for young children in assessing the nature of stool in children with acute respiratory infection who received a course of antibiotic therapy was shown. It was found that taking a fermented milk probiotic drink containing Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis, inulin, zinc, calcium and vitamin D3 for three months, starting from the first day of antibiotic therapy, helps to maintain the stability of the consistency of feces during treatment and during the recovery period after it reduces the incidence of gastrointestinal disorders, the risk of early and late complications associated with taking antibiotics.

Published: August 2021

Fitur-fitur yang disediakan oleh google secara gratis memang sangat membantu terlaksananya Pembelajaran Jarak Jauh ini. Namun peserta didik menyampaikan keluhannya dimana Bapak/ Ibu guru hanya menjelaskan dengan ceramah dengan menampilkan materi saat pembelajaran menggunakan google meet dan memberikan materi baik berupa modul atau video, serta tugas berupa soal yang jumlahnya variatif, kemudian dikumpulkan melalui google classroom, selanjutnya langsung penilaian harian jika Kompetensi Dasar yang disampaikan sudah selesai. Pada mata pelajaran tertentu mungkin tidak menjadi masalah dengan proses pembelajaran seperti itu. Namun pada kimia yang merupakan mata pelajaran eksakta, tentunya membingungkan, membosankan, dan rawan terjadi miskonsepsi materi pada peserta didik. Berdasarkan kondisi ini, diperlukan media penunjang untuk memperbaiki pembelajaran jarak jauh kimia yang sebelumnya hanya menggunakan google meet sebagai media tatap maya. Penelitian yang dilakukan merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif di SMAN 1 Malinau Kalimantan Utara kelas XI MIPA 2 Tahun Pelajaran 2021/2022 semester ganjil. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dalam 2 tahap, yaitu: persiapan dengan berdiskusi dan berkomunikasi melalui Whatsapp Group, dan pelaksanaan Pembelajaran Jarak Jauh kimia dengan memanfaatkan google jamboard sebagai penunjang pertemuan tatap maya google meet. Peserta didik menjadi lebih tertarik dalam mengikuti Pembelajaran Jarak Jauh kimia, karena dengan pemanfaatan media google jamboard ini mendukung model pembelajaran discovery learning dalam menyelesaikan Lembar Kegiatan Peserta Didik (LKPD) sehingga ketika mendiskusikan tahap pengolahan data LKPD, peserta didik terdorong melakukan penemuan secara kolaboratif pada saat pertemuan tatap maya. Pemanfaatan google jamboard dapat digunakan untuk materi kimia lainnya atau mata pelajaran lain yang memerlukan penjelasan bersifat matematis.
