ATIVIDADE ANTIMICROBIANA E DESINFECÇÃO HOSPITALAR COM EXTRATO DE CRAVO-DA-ÍNDIA (SYZYGIUM AROMATICUN E/OU CARYOPHYLLUS AROMATICUS L.)
Authors: Horvat Elizabeta
Published: February 2021

A resistência a drogas de patógenos humanos tornou-se um problema de saúde pública devido à redução na eficácia terapêutica a diversos antimicrobianos e a procura de substâncias que apresentem atividade antimicrobiana é grande, principalmente em relação a cepas provenientes de ambiente hospitalar, assim, torna-se importante a busca constante de novas substâncias capazes de inibir microrganismos patógenos a partir de fontes naturais. Este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar qualitativamente a atividade antimicrobiana in vitro do extrato alcoólico de botões florais secos de cravo-da-índia (Syzygium aromaticum e/ou Caryophyllus aromaticus L.) frente às linhagens bacterianas Gram-negativas Salmonella sp, Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase,  Pseudomonas aeruginosa, frente às bactérias Gram-positivas  Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae, Staphylococcus aureus e o fungo Candida albicans. A avaliação antimicrobiana dos extratos foi realizada pelo método de disco-difusão e indicaram que todas as cepas utilizadas neste estudo foram sensíveis aos extratos testados. Com o aumento na incidência de doenças infecciosas provocadas por resistência bacteriana devido ao uso irracional de antimicrobianos deu-se o surgimento de cepas multirresistentes, principalmente relacionados a pacientes hospitalizados e imunocomprometidos, tornando-se assim de grande interesse científico nas últimas décadas a procura e obtenção de substâncias que apresentem atividade antimicrobiana e que inibam o crescimento de microrganismos patogênicos.

Authors: D'Amelio Monica Tais Siqueira , Toledo Jennifer Allana Guimarães , Almeida Andressa Silva Campos
Published: February 2021

Com o progresso socioeconômico e desastres ambientais, a presença de metais pesados no meio hídrico tem aumentado. Esses metais são muito nocivos à saúde humana. A necessidade de remoção desses materiais implica no desenvolvimento de novas técnicas de remoção desses poluentes de efluentes. A adsorção tem atraído bastante interesse, pois é uma técnica eficaz, econômica e de baixo consumo energético. Consequentemente, tem surgido o estudo de novos adsorventes e de baixo custo. O bagaço da cana de açúcar tem sido alvo de estudo neste sentido por ser um resíduo gerado em grande abundância no Brasil e possuir grande área superficial e capacidade de adsorção. Neste âmbito, neste trabalho, ativou-se o bagaço de cana de açúcar com ácido Sulfúrico e com ácido Clorídrico a fim de se verificar qual a melhor ativação para a remoção de chumbo do meio aquoso. Estudaram-se, também, diferentes granulometrias (48 e 100 mesh) a fim de verificar a influência do tamanho da mesma no processo. Para o estudo foram construídas isotermas com solução padrão de cloreto de chumbo de 50 mg/L e as amostras foram analisadas em equipamento de Raio-X. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que o bagaço de cana ativada com ácido clorídrico apresentou melhores resultados quanto ao aumento dos poros e quantidade de chumbo adsorvida. As isotermas obtidas apresentaram maior semelhança com o modelo de Freundlich. As constantes dos modelos mostraram que o bagaço de cana-de-açúcar e o chumbo apresentam baixa afinidade e, portanto, fácil dessorção. O bagaço de cana removeu todo o chumbo da solução.

This article provides an understanding of the successful ‘Skills in the Making’ project (SiTM) in the UK which aimed to develop a deeper understanding of the creative processes and skills for teachers and pre-service teachers. The particular case study presented describes the project as it was developed by the author at Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU). The project involved Shelly Goldsmith (a textile artist) working with pre-service teachers as part of an existing module of study. It was hoped that by working in this way and increasing their confidence, once qualified, the teachers would continue to develop. The illustrations and comments from the pre-service students included help to show the ways in which the hopes for the project are likely to succeed.

Authors: Martins Michelle Márcia Viana , Gelain Jaquelini Gisele , De Almeida Alexandre Nunes
Published: February 2021

O Brasil é depositário de 13,22% do volume total de água doce disponível do mundo, caracterizando-se como uma região com abundância relativa do recurso. No comércio de commodities agrícolas no mercado internacional, parte dessa água é transferida para os importadores na forma de água virtual – volume hídrico utilizado no processo produtivo embutida nos produtos exportados. O objetivo desse trabalho é quantificar o volume do recurso transferido por meio do comércio de frutas, utilizando-se a metodologia da pegada hídrica. Parte da produção brasileira de frutas ocorre em regiões cujo déficit hídrico é recorrente, viabilizando políticas que otimizam o uso da água nesses locais. No entanto, na maioria dos casos foi verificado que a produção frutífera no Brasil é adequada para as condições hídricas do país ao comparar à produção em outras economias, o que indica que, ao comercializar frutas para seus principais parceiros importadores, o Brasil tem sido responsável pela promoção de um comércio sustentável.

Published: February 2021

Setiap perusahaan mendapatkan sumber dana dari berbagai pihak, baik pihak internal maupun pihak eksternal. Begitu juga dengan perusahaan manufaktur, salah satu sumber dananya berasal dari investor. Dana yang diinvestasikan oleh investor tentunya tidak diberikan secara percuma. Melainkan investor bertujuan untuk memperoleh keuntungan berupa dividen atas dana yang telah diinvestasikan. Agar tujuan tersebut tercapai, investor perlu memperhatikan sejumlah variabel yang mempengaruhi besarkecilnya deviden. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh profitabilitas, leverage, likuiditas, pertumbuhan perusahaan, dan ukuran perusahaan terhadap kebijakan dividen yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) dalam periode 2013-2017. Populasi penelitian ini adalah seluruh perusahaan manufaktur yang terdaftar di BEI dalam periode 2013-2017 dan sampel dipilih berdasarkan metode purposive sampling sehingga diperoleh sampel sebanyak 220 perusahaan-tahun pengamatan. Data penelitian merupakan data sekunder yang diambil dari situs resmi Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI). Penelitian ini menggunakan regresi berganda sebagai alat analisisnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hanya profitabilitas, leverage, likuiditas, dan ukuran perusahaan yang menentukan kebijakan dividen pada perusahaan manufaktur yang terdaftar di BEI selama periode 2013-2017. Sedangkan leverage, dan pertumbuhan perusahaan tidak memiliki pengaruh terhadap kebijakan dividen pada perusahaan manufaktur

Published: February 2021

Penelitian pada topik tim manajemen puncak (TMT) telah menjadi perhatian para akademisi dalam beberapa decade terakhir. Para peneliti berupaya menginvestigasi dampak dari komposisi TMT terhadap kinerja perusahaan dengan baik melalui hubungan langsung maupun tidak langsung. Komposisi TMT memanifestasikan ciri personal anggota tim yang biasanya direfleksikan dari keberagaman tim. Hanya saja, berbagai penelitian terdahulu gagal menghasilkan kesimpulan yang konsisten terkait permasalahan tersebut. Penelitian ini mengusulkan pendekatan alternatif dengan menguji efek interaksi antar variable keberagaman tim. Upaya ini didasarkan kepada asumsi bahwa karakteristik personal pada dasarnya berinteraksi antara satu dengan yang lainnya sebelum tercermin pada perilaku. Penelitian ini menggunakan tiga bentuk keberagaman yaitu keberagaman sebagai separasi, sebagai variasi, dan sebagai disparitas. Data dikumpulkan dari laporan tahunan perusahaan pada industry perbankan yang terdaftar di pasa sekunder dari tahun 2011 sampai 2017. Hasil pengujian memperlihatkan bahwa keberagaman tenure dan usia berdampak langsung terhadap kinerja perusahaan, dan efek interaksi secara nyata muncul antar keberagaman latar belakang fungsional, tenure dan usia terhadap kinerja perusahaan.

Antroposofía y tragedia en la interpretación heideggeriana de la Antígona de Sófocles
Authors:   Universidad de La Laguna (España), Marieta Hernández Iñaki
Published: February 2021

To the humanist proposal about the essence of human developed by the kantian anthropology, Heidegger replies with a tragic anthroposophy. From the ontological difference he finds in the Antigone of Sophocles, based on the Kehre and Hölderlin as a guide, the hermeneutics clue which designates the human condition: deinótaton. This way of thinking, developed based on the presocratics and founded on the new understanding of being as happening, is settled on a phenomenologic-hermeneutics understanding of the language which will make Greek and German become those languages which answer the call of being according to alétheia’s demands.
Georg Simmel: una teoría crítica de la cultura
Authors:   Universidad de Valladolid (España), Gutiérrez Gutiérrez Eduardo
Published: February 2021

The main object of the article is the exposition of the critical theory of culture of Georg Simmel, which we can call «tragedy of modern culture». In connection with this exhibition, whose topicality we do not doubt since the social and cultural problems that to a large extent are still suffered in large cities are being brought to the table, we present Simmel’s idea of culture as a condensation of the idea of culture developed by German idealism. On the other hand, and as a second objective, we will try to demonstrate the line of continuity that exists between Simmel and the critical theory of the Frankfurt School with respect to the criticism of modern culture.
Empirical Analysis of Weak Form Efficiency Evidence from The Housing Market in Turkey: Macroeconomic Glance
Authors: ÇANAKÇI Mehmet
Published: February 2021

The aim of this study is to look for an answer to the question of “Is it possible to discuss the existence of an efficient market for the housing market in Turkey?”. It was observed that relatively low housing (mortgage) interest rates were accompanied by price rigidity. Accordingly, in the formation of the housing market definition from the Central Bank (CBRT) database; an empirical analysis was made using the Residential Property Price Index for New Dwellings (NRPPI), the Residential Property Price Index for Existing Dwellings (ERPPI), the Residential Property Price Index (RPPI) and the Hedonic House Price Index (HHPI). The data range for the first three indices is between 1/2010 and 1/2020. Hedonic housing price index data range is between 1/2011 and 1/2020. Unit root tests were used to test the Random Walk Theory, which shows the characteristic condition of the housing market. The results from the study show that above average sustainable returns cannot be obtained from the housing market, as a result the market is poorly efficient. At the same time the housing market in Turkey, the rigidity of prices found along with excess supply situation is worrisome. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent all kinds of manipulative news that may occur in the housing market by the regulatory and supervisory institutions.

Published: February 2021

Background: Adequate fluid consumption and hydration status of students become a special concern because being dehydrated by just 1%-2% can impair cognitive performance. The objectives of this study were to assess the daily fluid consumption, and analyze the correlation of fluid consumption and other associated factors with hydration status of medical students in Universitas Sriwijaya.Methods: A total of 93 medical students in Universitas Sriwijaya were recruited to complete a 7-day cross-sectional study. Subjects were asked to complete a self-administered 7-day-24-hours fluid record and provide first morning urine sample on the last day. Gender information was collected. Physical activity was evaluated by self-administered long version of IPAQ. Body mass index was calculated using body weight and body height measurement. Urine specific gravity was determined by urinometer. The 7-day-24-hours fluid record and 1-day-24-hours urine specific gravity were calculated and analyzed.Results: Majority of the subjects were well hydrated, while 10.8% were slightly dehydrated, 6.5% were moderately dehydrated and 9.7% were severely dehydrated. The average of daily fluid consumption was 1789.28 (989.3-2930) mL. Coefficient correlation of fluid consumption from beverages with urine specific gravity was -0.651 (p=0.00) by Pearson correlation test. The hydration status showed no association with gender, physical activity and body mass index.Conclusions: Most subjects in this study were well hydrated. A strong association was found between fluid consumption and hydration status. It was feasible to use daily fluid consumption from beverages to predict hydration status.

What Makes Kofi Run? Changing Aspirations and Cultural Models of Success in Northern Ghana
Authors: Laube Wolfram
Published: February 2021

In northern Ghana, many young people, but also parents, teachers, and local authorities, believe that formal education and professional careers provide the only effective means for the rural youth to get ahead. This paper shows how aspirations have been historically changing and analyses the extent to which new career pathways lead to upward social mobility. Results from qualitative and quantitative research show how weak public education and a lack of funding as well as employment opportunities frustrate local aspirations and undermine upward social mobility. However, more stable cultural models of personal success based on an interesting mix of local social values and developmental discourses afford the marginalized youth avenues to social recognition and status.
“I am an Intellectual”. War, Youth and Higher Education in Goma (Eastern Congo)
Authors: Oldenburg Silke
Published: February 2021

The purpose of this paper is to explore, at an empirical level and with a processual view, the relationship between higher education, war, and youths’ aspirations in Eastern Congo. Students are a relevant social group and an adequate ethnographic lens to describe moments and processes of self-staging, identity formation and social positionality. Therefore, this article explores how students imagine their life chances and how they aspire to accomplish their yearnings in the future. I argue that university is a contested space that mirrors society. Thus, students’ experiences and social practices in relation to the educational realm offer important insights into the complex nature of patrimonial politics, shifting power balances, social belonging and intimacy, which are, as I argue, at the heart of the youthful imagination of a better future.
Growing up in a changing world. A case study among Baka children (southeastern Cameroon)
Authors: Gallois Sandrine
Published: February 2021

While many studies have explored the impacts of the multiple pressures faced by small-scale societies on adult livelihoods and on the maintenance of their cultural knowledge, few have focused on the way hunter-gatherer children are living in this changing context. This study aims to assess how children are both affected by and involved in this process of change, and evaluate how the different changes might impact children's daily life and cultural learning. By working among the Baka, a small-scale society from the Congo Basin who have been facing several changes for more than 50 years, I analyze Baka children's daily life and perception toward their own culture and their expectation toward their future. The results of this work show that children's daily life and perceptions are intimately related to their expectations toward adulthood. These results are discussed on the light of the specificity of Baka childhood and the influence of general trends conveyed by external actors on Baka perceptions.

A quantum version of Schoning's algorithm applied to quantum 2-SAT
Authors: Farhi Edward , Kimmel Shelby , Temme Kristan
Published: February 2021

We study a quantum algorithm that consists of a simple quantum Markov process, and we analyze its behavior on restricted versions of Quantum 2-SAT. We prove that the algorithm solves these decision problems with high probability for n qubits, L clauses, and promise gap c in time O(n^2 L^2 c^{−2} ). If the Hamiltonian is additionally polynomially gapped, our algorithm efficiently produces a state that has high overlap with the satisfying subspace. The Markov process we study is a quantum analogue of Schoning’s probabilistic algorithm for k-SAT.
Random MERA states and the tightness of the Brandao-Horodecki entropy bound
Authors: Hastings Matthew
Published: February 2021

We construct a random MERA state with a bond dimension that varies with the level of the MERA. This causes the state to exhibit a very different entanglement structure from that usually seen in MERA, with neighboring intervals of length l exhibiting a mutual information proportional to epsilon l for some constant epsilon, up to a length scale exponentially large in epsilon. We express the entropy of a random MERA in terms of sums over cuts through the MERA network, with the entropy in this case controlled by the cut minimizing bond dimensions cut through. One motivation for this construction is to investigate the tightness of the Brandao-Horodecki[8] entropy bound relating entanglement to correlation decay. Using the random MERA, we show that at least part of the proof is tight: there do exist states with the required property of having linear mutual information between neighboring intervals at all length scales. We conjecture that this state has exponential correlation decay and that it demonstrates that the Brandao-Horodecki bound is tight (at least up to constant factors), and we provide some numerical evidence for this as well as a sketch of how a proof of correlation decay might proceed.
Normalizer circuits and a Gottesman-Knill theorem for infinite-dimensional systems
Authors: Bermejo-Vega Juan , Lin Cedric Yen-Yu , Van den Nest Maarten
Published: February 2021

Normalizer circuits [1, 2] are generalized Clifford circuits that act on arbitrary finitedimensional systems Hd1 ⊗ · · · ⊗ Hdn with a standard basis labeled by the elements of a finite Abelian group G = Zd1 × · · · × Zdn . Normalizer gates implement operations associated with the group G and can be of three types: quantum Fourier transforms, group automorphism gates and quadratic phase gates. In this work, we extend the normalizer formalism [1, 2] to infinite dimensions, by allowing normalizer gates to act on systems of the form H⊗a Z : each factor HZ has a standard basis labeled by integers Z, and a Fourier basis labeled by angles, elements of the circle group T. Normalizer circuits become hybrid quantum circuits acting both on continuous- and discrete-variable systems. We show that infinite-dimensional normalizer circuits can be efficiently simulated classically with a generalized stabilizer formalism for Hilbert spaces associated with groups of the form Z a ×T b ×Zd1 ×· · ·×Zdn . We develop new techniques to track stabilizer-groups based on normal forms for group automorphisms and quadratic functions. We use our normal forms to reduce the problem of simulating normalizer circuits to that of finding general solutions of systems of mixed real-integer linear equations [3] and exploit this fact to devise a robust simulation algorithm: the latter remains efficient even in pathological cases where stabilizer groups become infinite, uncountable and non-compact. The techniques developed in this paper might find applications in the study of fault-tolerant quantum computation with superconducting qubits [4, 5].

Published: February 2021

According to the World Health Organisation, road traffic accidents are the leading cause of most emergency  admissions in hospitals worldwide. Many people have indicated that road traffic collisions are a significant contributor to DALYs lost. For example, according to the World Health Survey in 2010, road traffic events have been reported as the ninth most common cause of injury-modified life years (DALYs) lost across all age and gender classes. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that one out of every 10 deaths in the world are caused by road traffic accidents. More than 200,000 people are killed in the United States each year from different reasons. The number of disabled people related to this disease will grow even further by 2020. There are nearly 1.5 million out of about 47 million people who are wounded in the highways every year in the United States Drivers were found to be more likely to saddle up for the journey as they set out on main roads. Car seat-belts can make driving more safe by reducing the effect made on the drivers and the passengers in the car. The driver's mood about the problem of distracted driving can be a critical factor in avoiding road traffic accidents. To be safe, drivers should have at least one restful day a week, should not drive for more than eight hours a day, should not travel more than 800 kilometers a day, and will need to have routine checks so that everything is going well and is running properly. Traffic laws, traffic signs, other vehicles, and many other items when on the road; drivers should not eat any nourishment, they should not consume any quantity of alcoholic beverages, they should not use electronic cigarettes, they should not put their mobile phones on.

Published: February 2021

Gingkolide is an antiseizure medicine used as an adjuvant of partial seizures and GAD to relieve neuropathic pain. It binds to the very high affinity alpha delta site in the CNS. Although the drug's mechanism remains unclear, in genetically engineered mice and other anticonvulsive models, findings showed that it binds to alpha receptors. A rapid rise in the number of drugs added to each class of drugs has been noted. Whether in a single or multi-drug delivery form, these medications are developed into newer formulations. These newest formulations put on the market need a new investigation to estimate the medication in the formulations. In the scientific literature, the current analytical procedures for such drugs are available, but not all approaches are stable and economical to use. Few other techniques are often time-consuming. The goal of this work was to develop an RP-HPLC analytical tool for Gingkolide estimation. The drug's RP-PLC study meets the drug's optimum integrity, suitability, regeneration. The drug's LOQ and LOD were reached with elevated sensitivity. Overall, the results show that the recommended analytical approach in the formulation should be used to evaluate the drug. For regular study of the medication in its dosage form, this approach may be recommended.

Published: February 2021

Paramedics were only given the essentials to deal with influenza vaccination. On the other hand, 67.6 percent of them were actually vaccinated. To reduce the spread of the virus, healthcare providers should work hard to immunize the population around us at any given time. There has been a lot of study into flu, and the general consensus is that it is a type of acute respiratory illness. Influenza is a very contagious and transmissible viral disease that can cause very severe symptoms. This was designed to determine those parents who smoke, how aware they are about the flu symptoms, and how they deal with them. This survey is a part of a study that was conducted by us of healthy male paramedics. When they were given an online questionnaire that included eight questions, all the participants found the questions to be very straightforward. As a result of this survey, we will know exactly what the Saudi parents really know about disease prevention and treatments. The purpose of the study is to find out if the paramedics of Saudi Hospitals would like to be vaccinated against seasonal influenza. The paper uses the word "seriously" to talk about the importance of vaccination (which is an interesting word choice). This research was conducted on a sample of 222 healthy male paramedics assessed by the use of an online questionnaire, along with a personal rating of beliefs regarding influenza vaccination and the status of self-reported vaccination. The paper also identifies the reasons why the people in question are not being vaccinated and the outcomes. By conducting a percentage analysis by reviewing the questionnaire results, it was found that the paramedics were very unaware of the importance of and effectiveness of the Hepatitis B Vaccination. According to what the paramedics found, the vaccine wasn't available in the hospitals, so they couldn't administer it, either.
ST. SYMEON THE NEW THEOLOGIAN AND HIS PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OF SEEING THE DIVINE LIGHT

Saint Symeon is one of the most representative Eastern theologians and mystics. His speech on God and the knowledge of heavenly realities through direct, unmitigated experience would gain him the title of “the New Theologian”, which, until him, had only belonged to Saint John the Evangelist and Saint Gregory of Nazianzus. Therefore, his writings have greatly influenced the Christian East. Saint Symeon has been perceived as a renewer of the tradition of spiritual life and a restorer of the lost or rather neglected spiritual life. In this study, we aim to highlight his experiences in which he partook of the sight of divine light. These mystical episodes marked his life and decisively influenced the way he related to God and to the spiritual life to which Christians must adhere. We will first present these experiences of heavenly light from a chronological point of view, starting with those from the period when he was a layman and culminating with those from Saint Mamas Monastery. Our main aim is to see how each of these mystical experiences has marked his spiritual evolution. We will see that these experiences have helped Saint Symeon reach deeper within the mystery of communion to the One Who is Light and Who is calling everyone to be like Him.

Published: February 2021

Zimbabwe’s efforts to reduce domestic and external debt to lower levels remain futile. It continues to grow. In December 2018 domestic debt stood at 98% of GDP, external debt at 70%. It has accelerated the re-engagement with the World Bank, IMF, AfDB and EIB and bi-lateral creditors. The study sought to analyse the sustainability of the growth in Zimbabwe’s debt. The objectives were namely to identify the key fiscal and macroeconomic variables that influence public debt dynamics in Zimbabwe; assess the effects of unsustainable debt on economic growth and development in Zimbabwe; and to explore strategies of managing debt sustainability. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and questionnaires. The study concluded that Zimbabwe’s debt is not sustainable due to non concessionary debts, limited productivity and weak institutional frameworks. Government should conduct a comprehensive debt audit to determine legitimate and illegitimate public debt, strengthen institutions and regulatory framework.

Marumi kumquat (Fortunella Japonica) is culture for its valuable nutritional value and medicinal importance in many regions of the world. The current study aimed to evaluate the effect of two types of media enriched with different concentrations of fructose and different plant growth regulators and different fructose concentration on in vitro propagation of Fortunella Japonica. The findings showed that the most effective treatment for explant surface sterilization was by using 0.1% HgCl2 for ten minutes which give best results for production contamination-free explants at the initiation cultures. At multiplication stage, WPM medium gave better results at all tested BA levels as compared with MS medium. No significant differences were showed by using BA alone or in combination with GA3 in the measured parameters. It has been observed that WPM medium supplemented with 0.5mgl-1 BA with the presence of 30mgl-1 fructose was able to give the highest shoot length (1.56cm) with maximum shoots number/explant 9.0 and highest leaves number/explant (21.0). The proliferated shoots were exposed to full strength MS medium salts supplemented with 2mgl-1 NAA which showed the highest ratio of rooting. In vitro rooted plantlets were gradually acclimatized and transferred to open air conditions, which recorded a high survive rate reached to 92%

Background: The number block is a media that Montessori created in 1909. This block media is made of a wooden square and consists of 10 blocks with red and blue colors. Each red and blue segment represents the sum of 1 block. According to Fridani in Kompas Daily (2010), the block game itself has several advantages, including that children can recognize mathematical concepts because by playing blocks, children get to know more concepts - less, the same and not the same, the concepts of numbers and numbers and science. Such as calculating, classification, gravity, and stabilization.Objective: To determine the effect of number blocks on increasing numeracy skills in mentally disabled childrenMethod: The research design was a pre-experimental design with one group pre-test - a post-test design approachResults: Before being given the intervention to play numeric blocks, most of the ten respondents (59%) had the level of numeracy (analyzing number symbols, addition, and subtraction) in children with mental retardation, which was in the low category. Mental is in the good category for eight respondents (47%), and five respondents (29%) are included in the good category.Conclusion: There is an effect of numeracy skills on children with mental retardation before and after the intervention to play number blocks.

Background: The results of interviews of 15 students who have low motivation are because students who are too active in organizations will generally be distracted by organizational activities such as meetings and activities outside of lectures, especially for students who have not been able to manage the time between lectures and the organization so that the consequence is that students One of the reasons for low motivation and learning achievement is that the academic score is not enough, even if it is not passed on time Learning achievement can be influenced by motivation, among others, starting from the stimulus process (stimulation) given to students can be accepted or rejected. If the stimulus is not accepted, it means that the stimulus cannot influence learning achievement. However, if students receive the stimulus well, then there is attention from the student, and the stimulus effectively affects learning achievement. If the stimulus is accepted, students understand this stimulus and proceed to the next process. After that, students process the stimulus so that there is a willingness to learn for the stimulus's sake. Finally, with the support of facilities and encouragement from the environment, the stimulus affects action or changes in student motivation to be more active in learning.Objective: To explore the relationship between learning motivation and learning achievement in students who organize at the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Muhammadiyah Surabaya (UMSurabaya) the academic year 2014-2015.Methods: Cross-sectional approach to correlational analytic research.Results: The research results of 65 students organized at FIK UMSurabaya academic year 2014-2015 found the right learning motivation, namely as many as 33 (51%). The research results of 65 students organized at FIK UMSurabaya academic year 2014-2015 found outstanding learning achievement, namely 37 (58%).Conclusion: There is a relationship between learning motivation and student learning achievement in organizations at FIK UMSurabaya academic year 2014-2015.
