Mango seed kernel oil extraction with ethanol: Optimization of oil yield and polyphenol
Authors: Mas’ud Fajriyati , Indriati Sri , Todingbua’ Abigael , Rifai Akhmad , Sayuti Muhammad
Published: October 2020

Mango seed kernel oil (MSKO) contains a high concentration of polyphenol and has potential as raw material of oil-based food products and as a natural antioxidant of functional food. Ethanol was used for the extraction of MSKO by response surface methodology (RSM) as a tool to study the optimum extraction conditions of the oil yield and total polyphenol content (TPC). Three-factorthree- level central composite design (CCD) was employed to optimize extraction time (X1), ethanol concentration (X2), and ethanol volume (X3) to obtain a high oil yield and TPC. The central points for treatment were 5 h for X1, 86% for X2, and 250 mL for X3. The results showed that the optimum conditions of MSKO extraction were X1 = 5.18 h, X2 = 87.84% and X3 = 233.43 mL, respectively. Under these conditions, the experimental oil yield and TPC of MSKO were 34.79% and 61.17 mgGAE/g, which was agreed closely to the verification value. The results indicated that MSKO extraction using ethanol could be an effective and advisable method for large-scale production of MSKO extraction.

Diabetic
kidney disease (DKD) remains the most common cause of kidney failure and the
treatment options are insufficient. Here, we used a connectivity mapping approach
to first collect 15 gene expression signatures from 11 DKD related published
independent studies. Then, by querying the Library of Integrated Network-based
Cellular Signatures (LINCS) L1000 dataset, we identified drugs and other
bioactive small molecules that are predicted to reverse these gene signatures
in the diabetic kidney. Among the top consensus candidates, we selected a PLK1
inhibitor (BI-2536) for further experimental validation. We found that PLK1
expression was increased in the glomeruli of both human and mouse diabetic
kidneys and localized largely in mesangial cells. We also found that BI-2536
inhibited mesangial cell proliferation and extracellular matrix in-vitro and
ameliorated proteinuria and kidney injury in DKD mice. Further pathway analysis
of the genes predicted to be reversed by the PLK1 inhibitor were of members of
the TNF-α/NF-kB, JAK/STAT, and TGF-β/Smad3 pathways. In
vitro, either BI-2536 treatment or knockdown of PLK1 dampened the NF-kB and Smad3 signal transduction and transcriptional
activation. Together, these results suggest that the PLK1 inhibitor BI-2536 should
be further investigated as a novel therapy for DKD.
Violência e história: o lebenswelt da política.
Authors: Falabretti Ericson Sávio
Published: October 2020

Esse texto retoma a crítica de Merleau-Ponty ao livro Zero e o Infinito, no qual o escritor Arthur Koestler denuncia a violência perpetrada pelo regime estalinista através da narrativa do julgamento do líder comunista Rubashov. Desse modo, analisando o debate que confronta a crítica de Merleau-Ponty à obra de Koestler e a retomada da interpretação trágica da história a partir do marxismo, sustentamos a presença ambígua do humanismo e do terror, da fatalidade e da universalidade como elementos estruturantes do lebenswelt da política.
O testemunho como linguagem do indizível. Um objeto inobjetável e sua jurisdição de possibilidades a partir da escola fenomenológica de Jean-Luc Marion
Authors: Xavier Donizete José
Published: October 2020

A categoria testemunho tem alcançado nas últimas décadas um significado decisivo. Depois de um longo período de esquecimento emerge no âmbito eclesial, principalmente a partir do Concílio Vaticano II, como um instrumento de possibilidade de redescoberta da positividade da relação entre a Verdade comunicada e a liberdade responsiva. Nessa perspectiva, o testemunho pertence a ordem do mistério da liberdade humana. O presente artigo examina a categoria testemunho como linguagem do indizível, uma vez que, compreendido como linguagem, a categoria não se apresenta simplesmente como um argumento para a razão, mas portadora de “algo a mais” e indizível, capaz de dar sentido a uma vida que se entrega até às últimas consequências em uma plena liberdade. A reflexão, fundamentando-se na relação entre fenomenologia e teologia em Jean-Luc Marion, tem a responsabilidade de demonstrar que o testemunho enquanto linguagem do indizível excede em sentido e se manifesta como fenômeno saturado.
Representar o irrepresentável e formular o informulável: o mito em trânsito nos labirintos da literatura e da teologia
Authors: De Carvalho Rogério Gonçalves
Published: October 2020

Ambas, teologia e literatura se prendem em um fundo existencial onde experiências e vivências comandam o discurso, mas, mesmo que não queiramos, a tendência do discurso é eufemizar as experiências e vivências. Isso significa que o indizível, uma vez dito, perde sua força. Não obstante, embora o discurso seja uma das únicas formas de representar nossas experiências e vivências, o mito parece ser o fundo ancestral que fundamenta, sustenta e posiciona o discurso no mundo, na realidade, seja para a literatura, para a teologia ou qualquer outra forma de saber.Resumidamente, compelimos realizar uma jornada, quase um passeio, ao lugar do mito no discurso, compreendendo sua natureza fugidia e, em seguida, nos meandros dos labirintos da teologia e da literatura. Jornada que fará com que esbarremos em algumas placas que parecem nos indicar que o mito é uma boa estratégia do discurso para representar o irrepresentável e formular o informulável.
Teofania e niilismo: leituras zizekianas de um haicai de Adélia Prado
Authors: Mendes Danilo
Published: October 2020

Este texto visa apresentar uma contribuição à filosofia da religião a partir da leitura do poema "Artefato nipônico" de Adélia Prado através da estruturação do haicai apresentada por Žižek, tendo como chave o conceito de acontecimento, contando, sobretudo, com contribuições de Heidegger. Desta forma, relacionaremos os conceitos de acontecimento, nada e Deus, mostrando como a literatura pode ser, para além de locus privilegiado da experiência estética, ponto de partida para se entender o fenômeno religioso. Nesse sentido, pode-se apontar para uma teoria da religião entre niilismo e teofania. A relação entre Deus e nada, no poema de Adélia não deve ser entendida como contraditória nem sequencial. Isso significa que há, nesta leitura, a estreita relação entre os dois termos, de modo que o primeiro, como corte da paisagem estática, é o movimento que gera o acontecimento em si - e este é nada. Partindo, então, dos três versos desse poema, busca-se uma forma de conceituar religião: extraindo consequências filosóficas deste haicai. Por fim, indicamos como o nada pode ser entendido como silêncio místico. Nesse ponto, pode-se indicar uma teologia às avessas: ela não expressa o Deus que vem do nada, mas o nada que vem de Deus.

Em um artigo anterior intitulado A linguagem nupcial no “Cántico espiritual”, de San Juan de la Cruz (2011), tratamos de apresentar os elementos eróticos presentes na obra sanjuaniana e, de modo marginal, aludimos à dívida que este autor possui para com o texto testamentário do Cântico dos cânticos. Nesse trabalho, buscamos, por uma análise comparativa, revelar os vínculos textuais que fazem da obra sanjuaniana um modelo interpretativo da tradição e, também, criativo no que concerne às suas raízes cristãs.
Protocolo fontanari®, uma abordagem eficiente para o rejuvenescimento da região infraorbital
Authors: Fontanari Roberta , Quilodran Javier
Published: October 2020

As cirurgias plásticas já estiveram na “lista de desejos” dos pacientes preocupados com as modificações que o envelhecimento ocasiona. Com o desenvolvimento da ciência e a tecnologia de novos materiais, a busca por procedimentos minimamente invasivos, que rejuvenescem, evitam ou adiam uma cirurgia têm se tornado os procedimentos “queridinhos do momento”. Os novos conceitos de beleza e atratividade em busca de harmonia e naturalidade direcionam os tratamentos atuais para a prevenção. Os primeiros sinais de envelhecimento facial normalmente aparecem ao redor dos olhos. Região dinâmica da face, muito expressiva, onde observamos intensa atividade muscular e menor espessura dérmica. O envelhecimento infraorbital está relacionado à ação muscular, flacidez da pele, perda da sustentação óssea e alteração dos compartimentos de gordura que, com o passar dos anos, geram alterações em seu contorno. Os fios de polidioxanona associados aos autólogos são uma ótima opção de tratamento para prevenir e tratar essas alterações. Os fios são materiais biocompatíveis e reabsorvíveis, utilizados com técnicas minimamente invasivas que estimulam a neocolagênese através de uma resposta inflamatória subclínica controlada; e os autólogos, um biomaterial do próprio paciente, incontaminável, que estimula a angiogênese, neocolagênese e osteogênese. O presente trabalho relata o caso de uma paciente com 62 anos, com alterações importantes na região infraorbital e uma pele com grau de envelhecimento avançado, percebido pela falta de tônus, elasticidade e hidratação. A paciente foi tratada seguindo o Protocolo Fontanari®, com fios de PDO monofilamento e fibrina rica em plaquetas na região infraorbital. Os resultados mostraram melhora do aspecto da pele com relação à firmeza, sustentação e volume imediato e após 120 dias, deixando a paciente satisfeita com os resultados naturais.

The result of this study showed that 20 ml latex coagulant had faster contact time than others and increased weight of the rubber. It showed that rubbers produced a bit stinky smell as well, it was better than rubbers produced by inorganic latex coagulant.
Impact des établissements sur les performances des élèves. Une étude basée sur les résultats de l’enquête COFO 2016
Authors: Petrucci Franck , Ambrosetti Alice , Crotta Francesca , Nidegger Christian
Published: October 2020

Selon le courant du school effectiveness, les résultats des élèves dépendent de leurs caractéristiques individuelles et du contexte de scolarisation. Dans quelle mesure l’enquête COFO, évaluation standardisée à large échelle réalisée au niveau suisse, peut-elle apporter aux cantons des informations pour juger de l’efficacité de leurs établissements ? Au Tessin et à Genève, la part des différences de résultats liées à l’établissement apparaît extrêmement modeste. Le calcul de la valeur ajoutée montre que la grande majorité des établissements obtiennent des résultats conformes à ceux auxquels on peut s’attendre. Seuls quelques-uns ont des résultats plus faibles qu’escompté mais aucun lien entre leur sous-performance et la composition de leur population scolaire ne peut être établi.

Published: October 2020

Lediglich 62.2 % der Jugendlichen in der Schweiz erreichten gemäss der «Überprüfung der Grundkompetenzen» (ÜGK) am Ende der obligatorischen Schulzeit die Mindeststandards in Mathematik. Dieser Beitrag fragt nach unterrichtlichen Gelingensbedingungen des Erreichens der Grundkompetenzen. Anhand der Daten der ÜGK 2016 wurde untersucht, inwieweit die Qualität des Mathematikunterrichts aus Schülersicht mit dem Erreichen der Grundkompetenzen zusammenhängt. Logistische Regressionen ergaben, dass ein störungsarmer, von hoher Instruktionsklarheit und Autonomieunterstützung geprägter Unterricht mit einer erhöhten Wahrscheinlichkeit, die mathematischen Grundkompetenzen zu erreichen, einhergeht. Dabei wurden unter Berücksichtigung des besuchten Schultyps differentielle Effekte herausgearbeitet.
Warum werden Frauen so selten MINT-Fachkräfte? Zur Bedeutung der Differenz zwischen mathematischen Kompetenzen und Selbstkonzept
Authors: Jann Ben , Hupka-Brunner Sandra
Published: October 2020

Um den Fachkräftemangel im MINT-Bereich zu bekämpfen, bemühen sich Bund und Kantone, auf allen Bildungsstufen Interesse an Mathematik, Informatik, Naturwissenschaften und Technik zu wecken. Unter anderem soll dabei geschlechtsspezifischen Unterschieden hinsichtlich der Lehrstellen- bzw. Fächerwahl entgegengewirkt werden. Der vorliegende Beitrag setzt hier an und analysiert anhand der Daten der «ÜGK 2016», wie viele Jugendliche am Ende der obligatorischen Schulzeit denken, dass sie im Alter von 30 Jahren einen Beruf im Bereich der MINT-Fachkräfte ausüben werden. Dabei wird deutlich, dass bei jungen Frauen die Unterschätzung ihrer mathematischen Kompetenzen dazu beiträgt, dass sie sich seltener eine berufliche Zukunft im MINT-Bereich vorstellen können als junge Männer.

Effect of ultraviolet germicidal irradiation of the air on the incidence of upper respiratory tract infections in kittens in a nursery
Authors: Jaynes Robyn A. , Thompson Melissa C. , Kennedy Melissa A.
Published: October 2020

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the effect of UV germicidal irradiation of the air on the incidence of upper respiratory tract infections (URIs) in kittens in a nursery.

ANIMALS

4- to 8-week-old kittens admitted to a kitten nursery in 2016 and 2018.

PROCEDURES

2 UV germicidal irradiation systems (1 within the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system and 1 attached to the ceiling) were installed in a kitten nursery. Data were collected on the number of kittens in which a URI was diagnosed by means of a physical examination. The incidence of URIs was compared between 2016, when no UV systems were used, and 2018, when the UV systems were used.

RESULTS

The overall incidence of URIs in 2016 was 12.4 cases/100 kitten admissions and in 2018 was 1.6 cases/100 kitten admissions, a significant decrease of 87.1% between the years.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

A significant reduction in the incidence of URIs in kittens in a nursery was noted when the UV germicidal irradiation systems were used. Therefore, airborne transmission of feline respiratory pathogens may be more important than has been previously recognized. Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation systems that disinfect the air may be an effective adjunct to standard infection prevention and control protocols in reducing the risk of the transmission of respiratory pathogens among kittens in nurseries and shelters. However, additional studies are needed to confirm the findings reported here.
Investigation of the effects of cricket ingestion on plasma uric acid concentration in inland bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps)
Authors: Parkinson Lily A. , Mans Christoph
Published: October 2020

OBJECTIVE

To determine whether plasma uric acid concentration in inland bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps) was affected by recent ingestion of a meal of crickets.

ANIMALS

12 healthy adult inland bearded dragons.

PROCEDURES

Food was withheld for 48 hours prior to experiments. Animals (6/group) were randomly assigned to receive a meal of crickets (equivalent to 1% of the animal's body weight; 10 g/kg [4.5 g/lb]; treatment group) or have food withheld for an additional 48 hours (control group). Blood samples were collected for plasma uric acid measurement just before (time 0) and 4, 24, and 48 hours after feeding. Effects of feeding and time on the targeted measurement were assessed by repeated-measures ANOVA.

RESULTS

Mean plasma uric acid concentration for the treatment group was significantly increased from the time 0 value (2.5 ± 1.5 mg/dL) 24 hours following meal ingestion (6.5 ± 1.2 mg/dL), but not at the 4-hour time point, and returned to the time 0 value by the 48-hour time point. No significant changes in plasma uric acid concentration were detected for the control group.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results suggested food should be withheld for ≥ 48 hours prior to blood collection if inland bearded dragons are used to establish reference intervals for plasma uric acid concentration or if feasible when obtaining samples from these animals for clinical evaluation. Veterinarians should consider the time from last meal consumption when interpreting plasma uric acid concentration for this species and potentially other terrestrial insectivorous and omnivorous lizards.
To development drivers of the Russian economy
Authors: Smirnov V.V.
Published: October 2020

Subject. The article focuses on the development of Russia's economy.
Objectives. The study attempts to discover development drivers of the Russian economy, the substance of economic growth during the contemporary capitalist cycle.
Methods. The study is based on the systems approach and methods of statistical and cluster analysis.
Results. Evaluating the median and he Fischer test of quarterly growth rates of economic and financial indicators and their clustering with federal budget, I discovered what distinguished the Russian economy from socialist China (the dynamics of growth in GDP and exports); from leading capitalist economies, such as Germany and the USA (a decrease in the unemployment rate). I determine what maintains Russia's activity during the globalization, that is, a growth in Consumer Price Index and the devaluation of the national currency. I discovered dampering signs of the Russian economy during crises and the active recovery of the global economy.
Conclusions and Relevance. What will drive the development of the Russian economy mainly depends on its position in the global economy and the dampering role of capitalist cycles, considering the contradictory development of productive forces and economic relations. The findings contribute to the knowledge and new competencies of public authorities to make administrative decisions on methods to advance the Russian economy.

We also investigate how graduates seek jobs in the current circumstances of the economic crisis caused by the pandemic.
Methods. The study involves methods of logic research and systems analysis through the systems and creative approach. The novelty is that the article traces patterns of allocating State-financed positions for students in 2015–2016 and their further employment during the economic crisis aggravated with the pandemic and onward until 2025.
Results. We analyzed the tendency of allocating State-financed positions for students in 2015–2016 up to date. The article points out aspects revealing the relevance of career guidance today that pursues streaming potential students to certain universities so as to make them more competitive. The article suggests how career guidance should be enhanced especially during the economic crisis aggravated with the pandemic.
Conclusions and Relevance. The intentional attraction of applicants can reach its maximum effect only in case of joint activities, the presentation of a university department (faculty) to future applicants while they go to secondary school, and career guidance for future students, who, first of all, apply to the Master’s Degree programs. So that they choose professions that seem to be the most relevant and important during the economic crisis aggravated with the pandemic.

ТРЕМАТОДОФАУНА ЧЕРЕВОНОГИХ МОЛЮСКІВ (GASTROPODA) ВЕРХІВ’Я КИЇВСЬКОГО ВОДОСХОВИЩА
Authors: Ivasiuk Y. , Losev A.
Published: October 2020

Our study aimed to examine the current state of trematodes diversity in Kyiv reservoir. The molluscs under analysis belong to the species living for more than two years. The presence of trematode invasion in molluscs indicates the permanent or periodic presence of infected vertebrate hosts in area. Low mobility of the molluscs contributes to specification of the specific reservoir section visited by the definitive hosts. The species composition and quantitative indicators of invasion of the larval stages (cercariae) of trematodes (Digenea) in six species of Gastropoda in the Dnieper area of the upper site of Kyiv reservoir were studied. In total up to 490 specimens of Gastropoda belonging to subclasses Pulmonata (Lymnaea stagnalis Linnaeus, 1758, Planorbarius corneus Linnaeus, 1758, Stagnicola palustris Muller, 1774) and Prosobranchia (Fagotia acicularis Férussac, 1823, Viviparus viviparus Linnaeus, 1758, Bithynia tentaculata Linnaeus, 1758) were examined. The largest number of trematodes species was found in molluscs L. stagnalis (Lymnaeidae) and B. tentaculata (Bithyniidae) which amounted to seven and three species accordingly. The highest abundance, 150 and upper per mollusc specimen, were Diplostomum spathaceum (Rudolphi, 1819) and Tylodelphys conifer (Mehlis, 1846). Three species of trematodes were recorded in B. tentaculata − Cercaria lophocerca Filippi, 1857, Pleurogenoides medians (Olsson, 1876), Palaeorchis incognitus Szidat, 1943 with an average abundance upper 280 and prevalence 8−17%. Basically, the definitive hosts of the detected species of trematodes are fish, amphibians and waterfowl. Detected cercariae of trematodes D. spathaceum, Sanguinicola intermedia Ejsmont, 1925, Metagonimus yokogawai (Katsurada, 1912), Echinostoma revolutum (Fröhlich, 1802), Echinoparyphium recurvatum (Linstow, 1873) may cause diseases and sometimes death of fish and waterfowl. Some species may be used in medicine.

im. The aim of the study was to choose conditions for rooting improvement of in vitro cultivated plants of some species of Carlina L. genus. Methods. For receiving and rooting of aseptic sprouts, seeds of Carlina acaulis L., Carlina cirsioides Klok and Carlina onopordifolia Besser ex Szafer, Kulcz. et Pawl were subjected to presowing treatment with gibberellic acid solution (GA3) or indolebyturic acid solution (IBA). Sterilized seeds were planted in sterile Petri dishes on semi-solid Murashige, Skoog nutrient medium with half-strength concentrations of macro- and microsalts without growth regulators. Results. It was found that with the seed soaking of C. acaulis, C. cirsioides and C. onopordifolia in GA3 solution the percentage of root formation amounted to 33.3 %, 33.3 % and 22.2 % respectively. Presowing treatment of carlina seeds in IBA solution with concentration of 1000 mg for 2–4 hours before sterilization gave a positive effect: the percentage of root formation for C. acaulis, C. cirsioides and C. onorordifolia was 2.4–4.5 times higher compared to the treatment with GA3 solution. Conclusions. To form the root system of carlina plants it is effective to soak the seeds in the solution of IBA. Thus we were able to increase the percentage of rooting of C. sirsioides and C. onorordifolia plants to 100 %, C. acaulis plants – up to 80 % and avoid sprouts’ injury and changes in the concentrations of the IBA, which may occur during sterilization at high temperatures by using non-sterile solution of growth regulators.

The relevance of the study of pH and ORP allows to determine the electron donor reduction system (catholyte) or electron acceptor oxidation system (anolyte) of water. The ORP of water depends on the state of dissociation of molecular hydrogen, the content of free hydrogen electrons. Each aqueous solution has its own characteristics as a catholyte or anolyte. The study of pH and ORP parameters of the most popular bottled non-carbonated drinking water in Ukraine of such TM as "Karpatska Dzherelna", "Truskavetska", "Morshynska", "Vyshnivetska", "BonAqua", "Buvette" was carried out. The study was conducted before and after 30, 60 minutes and 12 and 36 hours after water retention in the thermos-ionizer-generator of hydrogen water "Living Water" (TIG "LW").

Significant changes in pH and ORP in these TM of water during their storage in thermoses-ionizers-generators H2 "Living water" from 30 minutes to 36 hours are shown. The high efficiency of the thermo-ionizer-generator "Living Water" in the ability autonomously create electron-donating water with weakly alkaline pH (7.9-8.3) and negative ORP (-110 mV - -230 mV) for 30 minutes is confirmed. Such water meets the parameters of increased biological activity.

The morphometric characteristics of the most common commercial fish were studied: carp – Cyprinus carpio L., pike – Esox lucius L., crucian carp– Carassius auratus gibelio Bloch. and perch – Perca fluviatilis L., two years old, with an average mass of 290–330 g., 300–350 g., 150–230 g. and 170–230 g. respectively, caught from the small rivers of the Western Podillia (Strypa, Seret, Zolota Lypa). It was found, that the indicators of full length, standard length, head length, head height at the back of the head, the largest and smallest body height in carp, crucian carp and perch decreased linearly in a number of rivers Strypa – Seret – Zolota Lypa. It is noted, that the values of the liver index in the investigated fish species differ significantly from the representatives of the rivers Seret and Zolota Lypa compared to the species from the Strip River. This indicator increases in the Strypa – Seret – Zolota Lypa range, except for the pike index, which is of the lowest importance in the representatives of the Seret River. All the fish species studied saw an increase in the gills index in a number of Strypa – Seret – Zolota Lypa rivers.

The study demonstrated that the values of the Fulton and Clark fattening coefficients in carp, crucian carp and perch decreased in a number of Strypa – Seret – Zolota Lypa rivers. In pike the highest values of fattening coefficients were noted for fish from the river Seret. Considering the same age of the fish and relatively the same trophic conditions in the studied rivers, it can be assumed, that the differences in morphometric indices are due to different anthropogenic influence on the watercourses. In this case, the least favorable environmental conditions are in the Zolota Lypa river, which is obviously due to its complex pollution.

The concept of functional and ecological expertise (FEE) of radiation control regions fundamentally complements the accepted forms of dosimetric and thyroid dosimetric control. The purpose of our work was to carry out the verification of radiation dependence of functional health and dosimetric certification of settlements in Haisyn district of Vinnytsia region with the help of FEE. 186 children (91 boys, 95 girls) of different age groups living in the villages of Karbivka, Kunka and Stepashky of Haisyn district during 1993-1996 were examined with the help of FVD method by V.G. Makat.s The functional health of сhild population, which is becoming a "bioindicator" of individual health and characterizing the environmental dynamics of the compact living area, is in the focal point of FEE. The ecological criterion of FEE of a particular region of the population is systemically dependent comparison of inhibition of functional activity of the organism (parasympathetic activity (PA), vegetative equilibrium (VE) and sympathetic activity (SA). An integral characteristic of the ecological state is formed on this basis and the levels (zones) of its ecological pressure are determined. The surveyed populated areas of Karbivka village, Kunka village and the village of Stepashky in Haisyn district of Vinnytsia region belong to the IV radiation control zone. Our observations have shown that functional and vegetative health of children is ecologically dependent, and its indicators are the most sensitive bioindicators of radiation (environmental) pollution. Functional vegetative health of children in the surveyed populated areas of Haisyn district coincides with the official dosimetric certification of these areas. Monitoring of vegetative health of children should become the basis of modern functional medical examination of paediatric population and supplement state dosimetric and thyroid dosimetric certification of the populated areas.

Authors: Ali Gusri Emiyati
Published: October 2020

The Critical Period Hypothesis by Lenneberg (1976)  states that ages 2 to 12 are ideal ages for achieving foreign language skills such as a native speaker. Based on this hypothesis, the perfect time for children to learn English as a foreign language is in elementary school. Meanwhile, Indonesian government policy through the 2013 curriculum does not require children in primary schools to learn English. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the English learning achievement of students between those who studied and those who did not study English in elementary school. This research is important to be conducted since it can be a reference for the Indonesian government in developing English language teaching and learning policy in elementary schools.  The sample of this research consisted of two groups selected through a purposive sampling technique. They were the groupS of students who studied and who did not study English in elementary school. Data were grouped, presented, and then compared. The results showed that students who studied English in elementary school had better English learning achievement than students who did not study English in elementary school. It is recommended for further related researches to consider many factors those can be influencing the students' English learning achievements such as the English teaching and learning method used by the educators in high school and university, attitudinal factor, and the learning environment.
