Authors: Gautam Ramesh Kumar , Singh Chandra Prakash , Prasad Shiv Govind , Saxena Rajul , Rao Devendra Pratap
Published: September 2019

A new MoO2(VI) complex of formulation [MoO2(L)](acac)2 prepared by a Schiff base, synthesized via reaction of di-2-furanylethanedione with 5-chloropyridine-2,3-diamine and four new MoO2(VI) complexes having formule [MoO2(ML)](acac)2, derived from cyclization of [MoO2(L)](acac)2 with β-diketones are reported in this work. The synthesized MoO2(VI) complexes were characterized on the basis of various analyses like thermal studies, UV-Vis, elemental analyses, NMR, IR and molar conductance. The coordination number of molybdenum metal is six. All the MoO2(VI) complexes have distorted octahedral structure in which Mo atom is coordinated with two O-atoms and four N-atoms. All the complexes show moderate activity against S. typhi and S. aureus. Advancement in the antibacterial task is thought to be of chelation speculation.

Published: September 2019

Raltegravir sodium synthesis was achieved from its one of the key starting materials with retro synthetic approach, in which without using its critical starting material chemically known as 5-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carbonyl chloride and which is more unstable during the synthesis of raltegravir potassium. Almost all the existed literatures commonly using this starting material in its synthesis even it is having a stability issue and hence to achieve a stable and economically viable synthesis. The current research describes a new route of synthesis by constructing an oxadiazole ring in a retro synthetic manner.
Impact of Spherical Gold Nanoparticles from Phyllanthus emblica (Indian
Gooseberry) Fruit Extract on the Photocatalytic Reduction of Methylene Blue Dye
Authors: Shah Ami Ansul , Jayalakshmi D. , Xavier Belina
Published: September 2019

In present study, gold nanoparticles are synthesized using the aqueous fruit extract of Phyllanthus emblica (Indian gooseberry) via the green synthesis route. The biomolecules such as phenols, ascorbic acid, flavanols and tannins play an important role in the reduction of the metal ions as investigated by FT-IR studies. The UV-visible spectroscopy studies confirm the surface plasmon resonance peaks in the range of 532-550 nm and is characteristic of the colour change from pale yellow to pinkish-purple. The TEM analysis exhibits the spherical gold nanoparticles in the range of 10-50 nm. The zeta potential
observed value is found to be -9.92 mV indicating a good stability and highly dependent on the shape and the interparticle interaction of metal nanoparticles in the medium. The particle size obtained by the dynamic light scattering method is in agreement with the TEM analysis. Gold nanoparticles act as a potential catalyst under mercury light illumination and shows 92.4 % degradation of methylene blue from the contaminated water.

Authors: Dvoryashina I. V. , Rogozina I. A. , Korobitsyn A. A.
Published: September 2019

A total of 154 coronary patients (men) aged 40-60 years with first detected disorders of carbohydrate metabolism (abnormal glucose tolerance and diabetes mellitus) were examined in order to define the specific features of the metabolic syndrome. The following main signs forming the metabolic syndrome were distinguished. Fat accumulation in visceral depots predominated (according to computer-aided tomography), the degree of total and abdominal obesity being the same. The optimal anthropometric marker of visceral obesity is the sagittal diameter of the trunk. Hyperinsulinemia stimulated by standard glucose loading is more manifest and long. Other probable hormone dys­functions associated with development of the metabolic syndrome are relative insufficiency of somatotropic hormone, manifesting in response to alimentary fat loading, and disordered hydrocortisone metabolism in hypoglycemia and hyperinsulinemia. Dyslipoproteinemias are characterized by the predominance of hypercholesterolemic and combined types, the pattern and degree of postalimentary lipemia being the same. Involvement of coronary vessels are more extensive and pronounced in coronary patients with first detected disorders of carbohydrate metabolism.

Authors: Kudryakova S V , Suntsov Yu I
Published: September 2019

Data on lethal cases of diabetes mellitus which occurred before January 1, 1992 were recorded. The total number of diabetics in Leninsky district of Moscow was 1729, 86 of them with insulin-dependent and 1643 with noninsulindependent disease. Diabetes prevalence in the district was 2.4 %, that of insulin-dependent condition being 0.12 % and of noninsulin-dependent one 2.3 %. Various complications were detected in the majority of diabetics, microangiopathies (retinopathies, neuropathies) being the most incident in patients with insulin-dependent disease and macroangiopathies (coronary disease, arterial hypertension, myocardial infarction, brain stroke) predominating in patients with noninsulin-dependent disease. Cardiovascular diseases and involvement of the peripheral vessels were the most frequent causes of death of patients with both conditions.

Published: September 2019

Dynamic surface tension (ST) of the urine was studied in 58 diabetics without manifest clinical laboratory symptoms of nephropathy by means of computer tensiometers MRT1 and MRT2 (Lauda, Germany). A significant decrease in ST values in the median and longer surface life spans and of the angle of tensiogram curve inclination was revealed. Changes in ST parameters (M + 3m) of albumin (in 24.1%), p2 microglobulin (in 31%), and fibronectin (in 8.6%). Dynamic interphase tensiometry of the urine can be used for early diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy and monitoring the efficiency of treatment.

Published: September 2019

Primary hyperparathyroidism is a socially significant problem due to the fact that the analysis of blood calcium in Russia is not a routine biochemical test, and diagnosis is carried out at the stage of irreversible complications. So, a patient addressed to our clinic which had a clinical picture of hyperparathyroidism complications over time. In the hospital diagnostic studies were carried out, including, first of all, a determination of calcium in blood, followed by more comprehensive survey, on the basis of which hyperparathyroidism has been confirmed. An adenoma of the left lower parathyroid gland was found by the method of topical diagnosis (ultrasound of the parathyroid glands and scintigraphy with Tc-99m-technetril). After the surgical treatment a level of calcium and a level of PTH have declined significantly. The combination of calcium and vitamin D supplementation was prescribed about intensive saturation therapy was needed with intense post-operative hyperparathyroidism. Given the existence of osteo-visceral complications by hyperparathyroidism, at the moment the patient needs a long rehabilitation course. This case shows that in order to avoid late diagnostics, it seems necessary to determine the level of calcium for routine. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the development of complications of the disease and the disability of patients.
Avaliação de Dados Hiperespectrais como Preditores para Biomassa de Campos Nativos
Authors: Guerini Filho Marildo , Kuplich Tatiana Mora
Published: September 2019

O Bioma Pampa representa 63% do território do Rio Grande do Sul – Brasil. Em função da contínua incorporação de monoculturas de espécies exóticas, cultivos agrícolas e a práticas por vezes inadequadas de produção pecuária, os campos nativos estão rapidamente sendo degradados, fragmentados e descaracterizados. Buscando colaborar no desenvolvimento de novas estratégias de manejo e monitoramento adequado dos campos nativos, com vistas à minimização de esforços para coletas de campo, esta pesquisa objetivou caracterizar e quantificar a relação entre dados hiperespectrais coletados por espectrorradiômetro como preditores de biomassa campestre em duas alternativas de manejo pastoril com o auxílio de dados de campo. A área de estudo são parcelas pastoreadas por bovinos em duas alternativas de manejo (375 e 750 graus dia - GD) de onde foram adquiridas curvas espectrais de reflectância com espectrorradiômetro ao longo do intervalo de 350-2500 nm de comprimento de onda (CO). Foram calculados 10 índices de vegetação e utilizados juntamente com 11 intervalos de CO nas análises de regressão. Os dados espectrais simularam os CO utilizados nas bandas do sensor MSI do satélite Sentinel 2, disponíveis gratuitamente desde 2015. Os resultados mostraram excelentes correlações entre as variáveis e verificou-se que nas regiões espectrais do Azul, Red edge e os índices NDLI e DMCI diferiram estatisticamente entre as alternativas de manejo. As regiões espectrais do Azul, NIR e SWIR foram significativamente maiores no tratamento 750 GD. O modelo mais preciso para estimar biomassa envolveu os índices EVI e CAI com R²ajustado = 0.72 e RMSE = 0.10.

Published: September 2019

Estudos sobre os estágios de sucessão de fragmentos florestais são essenciais para sua preservação e conservação, além de contribuir de forma significativa na gestão e no planejamento voltados à recuperação de sua biodiversidade. No entanto, a avaliação desses estágios demanda elevados custos, pessoal qualificado e tempo, principalmente nos trabalhos em campo. Portanto, pesquisas têm surgido incorporando métodos que utilizam as técnicas de geoprocessamento para avaliações dessa natureza. A pesquisa objetivou estudar os parâmetros que interferem na dinâmica dos fragmentos florestais e as características biofísicas, cujo o intuito foi propor um indicador dos estágios de sucessão de fragmentos florestais do bioma Mata Atlântica. Para isto foi utilizado como base a bacia hidrográfica do rio Murundú-Paiol situada no sudeste do estado de São Paulo. Os métodos se basearam no estudo dos fatores que interferem na dinâmica dos fragmentos florestais (tamanho, efeito antrópico no entorno, altitude, relevo e exposição solar) e índices de vegetação, gerados a partir de técnicas de geoprocessamento. Todos estes fatores foram correlacionados e os fragmentos florestais foram selecionados para avaliação em campo. Dentre todos os parâmetros avaliados, apenas os relacionados à altitude e relevo apresentaram boa correlação com os índices de vegetação, sendo estes os parâmetros integrantes no indicador dos estágios de sucessão. Este indicador exibiu uma acurácia de 85,7% na avaliação, o que permite ser replicado em outros estudos semelhantes, apresentando-se como uma alternativa científica viável e capaz de indicar o provável estágio de sucessão dos fragmentos florestais.
The geometry of mortality change: Convex hulls for demographic analysis
Authors: Lai Audrey F. , Noymer Andrew , Tai Tsuio
Published: September 2019

We introduce convex hulls as a data visualization and analytic tool for demography. Convex hulls are widely used in computer science, and have been applied in fields such as ecology, but are heretofore underutilized in population studies. We briefly discuss convex hulls, then we show how they may profitably be applied to demography. We do this through three examples, drawn from the relationship between child and adult mortality (5q0 and 45q15 in life table notation). The three examples are: (i) sex differences in mortality; (ii) period and cohort differences and (iii) outlier identification. Convex hulls can be useful in robust compilation of demographic databases. Moreover, the gap/lag framework for sex differences or period/cohort differences is more complex when mortality data are arrayed by two components as opposed to a unidimensional measure such as life expectancy. Our examples show how, in certain cases, convex hulls can identify patterns in demographic data more readily than other techniques. The potential applicability of convex hulls in population studies goes beyond mortality.

Authors: Ambarwati Mega Dewi , Kamila Ghina Azmita
Published: September 2019

Nowadays, in marriage life, spouse often dealing with big problem as like infertility which make them unable to have offspring. However, due to infertility, the spouse has obtained some efforts to solve their problems. One way to solve the problem is by obtaining surrogacy with the help of surrogate mother. Nevertheless, in Indonesia, especially, surrogacy as well as surrogate mother is still considered to be taboo things and no legal system which regulate the surrogacy and/or surrogate mother. Yet other countries have allowed or legalize the surrogacy practice as well as surrogate mother. Hence, this study aimed to reveal a comparison of legal system on surrogate mother and surrogacy law in Indonesia and India. This study used comparative legal research methodology through the functional method since Indonesia has the same function over the purpose of law establishment on the surrogate mother in India. The result reveals that it needs a legal system on surrogacy and surrogate mother as the legal certainty for any individual especially spouse who could not have offspring along with some reasons such as minimalize prostitution and unregistered marriage, prevent dispute, and to develop scientific field.
Crossovers: Digitalization and literature in foreign language education
Authors: Lütge Christiane , Merse Thorsten , Owczarek Claudia , Stannard Michelle
Published: September 2019

Digitalization produces increasingly multimodal and interactive literary forms. A major challenge for foreign language education in adopting such forms lies in deconstructing discursive borders between literary education and digital education (romance of the book vs. euphoric media heavens), thereby crossing over into a perspective in which digital and literary education are intertwined. In engaging with digital literary texts, it is additionally important to consider how different competencies and literary/literacy practices interact and inform each other, including: (1) a receptive perspective: reading digital narratives and digital literature can become a space for literary aesthetic experience, and (2) a productive perspective: learners can become “produsers” (Bruns, 2008) of their own digital narratives by drawing on existing genre conventions and redesigning “available designs” (New London Group, 1996). Consequently, we propose a typology of digital literatures, incorporating functional, interactive and narrative aspects, as applied to a diverse range of digital texts. To further support our discussion, we draw on a range of international studies in the fields of literacies education and 21st century literatures (e.g., Beavis, 2010; Hammond, 2016; Kalantzis & Cope, 2012; Ryan, 2015) and, in turn, explore trajectories for using concrete digital literary texts in the foreign language classroom.
Enjoyment as a key to success? Links between e-tandem language learning and tertiary students’ foreign language enjoyment
Authors: Resnik Pia , Schallmoser Christine
Published: September 2019

This paper reports on crossing borders virtually via an e-Tandem scheme and presents the findings of a study, in which students of English from an Austrian university were paired with students of German from the UK and the USA. Drawing on data from 19 in-depth interviews, the study aims to identify links between e-Tandem language learning and foreign language enjoyment (FLE) (Dewaele & MacIntyre, 2014, 2016). A category-based qualitative text analysis (Kuckartz, 2014) revealed that a majority of the interviewees felt e-Tandem language learning contributed to their FLE. Furthermore, a range of reasons underlying students’ perceived enjoyment of learning a language in Tandem emerged: having authentic conversations in the target language with L1 (first language) users (Dewaele, 2018), perceiving each other as cultural mediators and a difference from language classroom contexts on the level of power relations, which made students feel more at ease. Helping each other, receiving one-on-one feedback and perceiving improvement in their linguistic mastery were furthermore mentioned as factors they felt boosted their enjoyment and so was developing friendships with L1 users. According to the interviewees, these aspects specifically increased their interest and enjoyment in using and learning the language and their eudaimonic happiness. The findings demonstrate that e-Tandem language learning can be a resource to enhance perceived enjoyment in foreign language learners at tertiary level and they illustrate that social and private components of FLE seem to be interlinked.

Published: September 2019

The Sturge-Weber syndrome or encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis is a rare neurological and congenital disorder with a frequency of 1 in 50,000 births. This syndrome is a nonhereditary developmental condition and is characterized by the presence of congenital capillary malformation and a hamartomatous vascular proliferation involving the face (port-wine stain or facial birthmark), sometimes skull and the tissues of brain, jaws, oral soft and hard tissues and rarely other body organs. Seizures, mental retardation, and cortical calcification (tram-tracks) and congenital glaucoma may be seen in this syndrome. We report here a 40-year-old female with Sturge-Weber syndrome associated with bilateral cutaneous capillary malformation on her face, neck, hands and feet and also gingival enlargement.
Efficacy of Different Concentrations of Chlorhexidine Mouthwash on Plaque Accumulation and Periodontal Parameters
Authors: Zarandi Ali , Salahaddin Sina , Faramarzi Masoumeh
Published: September 2019

Background and aims. Dental plaque and gingivitis were controlled by administration of chemical agents such as chlorhexidine (CHX) which is recognized as a gold standard of chemical agents. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of two mouthwashes (0.2% CHX and Kin Gingival) on clinical parameters. Materials and methods. A total of 88 subjects were included in this interventional‒experimental study. The subjects were divided into two groups of 44 (group 1: 0.2% CHX and group 2: Kin Gingival). The study involved no mechanical plaque control methods. Patients used the mouthwashes twice a day for two weeks. Clinical parameters included plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing depth (PD) and bleeding on probing (BOP), which were measured before and after the use of mouthwashes. The results were analyzed by Man-Whitney U and chi-squared tests. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. Results. The results indicated that PI, GI and PD significantly decreased in group 2 (Kin Gingival) in comparison with group 1 (0.2% CHX) (P < 0.05). However, the two mouthwashes did not differ significantly from each other in relation to BOP (P > 0.05). Conclusion. Based on the results it can be concluded that Kin Gingival and 0.2% CHX mouthwashes decrease the clinical parameters in patients significantly. However, Kin Gingival is more effective than 0.2% CHX, which might be attributed to the synergic antibacterial potential of Kin Gingival ingredients like sodium fluoride.
Comparative stability analysis of two types of CpTi and Zr-2.5% Nb implants after maxillofacial surgery
Authors: Pirjamalineisiani Adel , Sarafbidabad Mohsen
Published: September 2019

Background. Improving the implantation conditions in order to reduce the failure is always desirable for researchers. The aim of this study was to compare two different types of dental implant materials from biomechnical viewpoint in order to introduce a novel simulation method to select suitable materials for dental implants. Methods. In this research, drilling process was performed in the cortical bone of the mandible by finite element analysis simulation. Then, a 3D model of the produced hole in the drilled site was derived and a dental implant model by ITI design was inserted into the cavity. The space remaining between the implant and cavity was considered as a newly formed cortical bone area. Implant loading was performed on two dental implants with different types of material. The change in the volume of the cortical bone around each implant was considered a criterion for evaluating bone damage. Additionally, the micromotion of dental implant in the mandible after implantation was used for investigating dental implant stability. Results. After implant loading, the volume changes in newly formed cortical bone around Ti and Zr-2.5%Nb dental implants were measured at 0.010809 and 0.010996 mm3 , respectively. Furthermore, micromotion of Ti and Zr-2.5%Nb dental implants were measured at 0.00514 and 0.00538 mm, respectively. Conclusion. This study showed that Ti dental implant creates better conditions than Zr-2.5%Nb dental implant in the maxillofacial region

Coaching the Power Clean: A Constraints-Led Approach
Authors: Verhoeff Wesley J. , Millar Sarah K. , Oldham Anthony R.H. , Cronin John
Published: September 2019

Traditionally, strength and conditioning coaches have used explicit instructions when changing movement behavior. Recent work has questioned the efficacy of this approach. Whether explicit instruction is best for facilitating movement change is discussed along with an alternative approach. A brief review of traditional coaching methods is undertaken, highlighting differences between the traditional “coach-centered approach” and an “athlete-centered, constraints-led approach.” The constraints-led approach is applied to coaching the power clean. This provides an example of how strength and conditioning practitioners may approach the coaching of movement using methods that align with contemporary coaching as well as skill acquisition theory.

It has long been thought that severe chronic pain conditions, such as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), are not only associated with, but even maintained by a reorganization of the somatotopic representation of the affected limb in primary somatosensory cortex (S1). This notion has driven treatments that aim to restore S1 representations in CRPS patients, such as sensory discrimination training and mirror therapy. However, this notion is based on both indirect and incomplete evidence obtained with imaging methods with low spatial resolution. Here, we used fMRI to characterize the S1 representation of the affected and unaffected hand in humans (of either sex) with unilateral CRPS. The cortical area, location, and geometry of the S1 representation of the CRPS hand were largely comparable with those of both the unaffected hand and healthy controls. We found no differential relation between affected versus unaffected hand map measures and clinical measures (pain severity, upper limb disability, disease duration). Thus, if any map reorganization occurs, it does not appear to be directly related to pain and disease severity. These findings compel us to reconsider the cortical mechanisms underlying CRPS and the rationale for interventions that aim to “restore” somatotopic representations to treat pain.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThis study shows that the spatial map of the fingers in somatosensory cortex is largely preserved in chronic complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). These findings challenge the treatment rationale for restoring somatotopic representations in complex regional pain syndrome patients.
Varied Responses to Human-Induced Seismicity in the City of Azle, Texas
Authors: Majumdar Sarmistha R.
Published: September 2019

Fracking has helped to usher in an era of energy abundance in the United States. This advanced drilling procedure has helped the nation to attain the status of the largest producer of crude oil and natural gas in the world, but some of its negative externalities, such as human-induced seismicity, can no longer be ignored. The occurrence of earthquakes in communities located at proximity to disposal wells with no prior history of seismicity has shocked residents and have caused damages to properties. It has evoked individuals’ resentment against the practice of injection of fracking’s wastewater under pressure into underground disposal wells. Though the oil and gas companies have denied the existence of a link between such a practice and earthquakes and the local and state governments have delayed their responses to the unforeseen seismic events, the issue has gained in prominence among researchers, affected community residents, and the media. This case study has offered a glimpse into the varied responses of stakeholders to human-induced seismicity in a small city in the state of Texas. It is evident from this case study that although individuals’ complaints and protests from a small community may not be successful in bringing about statewide changes in regulatory policies on disposal of fracking’s wastewater, they can add to the public pressure on the state government to do something to address the problem in a state that supports fracking.
Looking through the Ethnolinguistic Perspective to Unveil the Social Facts Phenomenon of Piil Pesenggiri
Authors: Ninsiana Widhya
Published: September 2019

This article discusses the issues around the socio-cultural phenomenon that employ interdisciplinary studies between linguistics, anthropology and sociology to study the linguistic behaviors of the Lampungese society in a way to grasp their worldview. The data were technically collected through observation and literature reviews to bring out the voices and experiences of the people who mostly affected by the concept of Piil Pesenggiri, of people whose voices have been missing in literature and debate. The production and reproduction of identity through Piil Pesenggiri seems to remain a finding tradition exist among the Lampungese which primarily resulted both demographic and the local political change allowing emergence of a capitalist strategy "retreatment" used as a form of resistance against the transmigrants. It is not a secret anymore that Piil Pesenggiri which many of us understood as the life philosophy of Lampungese triggers negative stigma amongst other shared races or tribes of transmigrants, it is a shift of viewing piil as a mere "cultural shield" or cultural fortress within their social relations. It then becomes clear that the worldview of the social facts of the community as well as segregation that plunges into the socio-political aspects of society including education, cultural symbols, the political flow of identification of social structures. Todays, the existence of Piil Pesenggiri ethnolinguistically is deemed to reflect cultural capital, a static and contextual product of identity which cannot be separated from the people (ulun) Lampung. The empirical information obtained by this research is expected to be utilized by various stakeholders concerning the problem of relations between ethnic groups in taking the attitude, policy and purposes of a scholarship. Such studies are of course useful not only for reconciliation to conflicts involving the ethnic communities, but also to the ability to maintain a well-created social harmony as well.
Muslims through Storytelling: Islamic Law, Culture and Reasoning in South Sulawesi
Authors: Alimi Moh Yasir
Published: September 2019

This article explores the use of storytelling by the Muslims of South Sulawesi in their efforts to confront the formalization of Islamic law in the province. My specific objective is to nuance the existing approach to Islam and Muslim life, which to date focuses on scriptural argumentation, or analytical reasoning based on the Quran and other Islamic sources. The exclusive focus on scriptural argumentation as the main approach to explain Islam does not help us to understand how Muslims use non-analytical forms of human communication in response to shariâ€™a formalization. The experiences of Muslims in South Sulawesi demonstrates that storytelling can be a meaningful and direct means to express Islamic identity and to challenge the formalization of shariâ€™a. In the hierarchies of reasoning used in South Sulawesi by Muslims, scriptural argumentation is not the most important

Perempuan buruh pada umumnya memiliki tingkat pendidikan rendah, bekerja disektor pekerjaan yang tidak memerlukan pendidikan tinggi, ketrampilan dan keahlian khusus, serta berupah yang rendah. Salah satu pekerjaan yang dilakukan perempuan adalah sebagai buruh pabrik rokok. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis menjelaskan profil dan latar belakang yang mendorong perempuan bekerja sebagai buruh pabrik rokok Janur Kuning Kudus di desa Piji Kecamatan Dawe. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif analitis. Metode pengumpulan data dengan wawancara mendalam dan observasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perempuan bekerja sebagai buruh di pabrik rokok didorong oleh kondisi ekonomi keluarga yang terbelenggu dalam kemiskinan dan latar belakang tingkat pendidikan serta ketrampilan dan keahlian yang rendah. Jenis pekerjaan di pabrik Janur Kuning yang tidak memerlukan pendidikan tinggi, ketrampilan dan keahlian khusus dengan upah yang rendah, yaitu sebagai buruh mbatil, nggiling, dan nyontong. Dengan demikian para perempuan buruh pabrik rokok masih menjadi tenaga kerja yang termarginal. Dengan bekerjanya perempuan atau istri di luar rumah berarti perempuan atau istri mempunyai peran ganda yaitu bekerja di sektor domestik sebagai pengurus rumah tangga dan di sektor publik sebagai buruh pabrik rokok. Peran ganda tersebut akhirnya juga menjadikan mereka harus menyandang beban ganda yang lebih berat dibanding suami mereka.Working women from poor family generally have low education level, work sector jobs that do not require higher education, skills and expertise, as well as low wage. One of such womenâ€™s job is as cigarette factory workers.

Tujuan artikel ini adalah untuk membahas bagaimanakah keberadaan mata pelajaran antropologi di SMA setelah merger ini dan bagaimana kendala-kendala pembelajaran antropologi di SMA. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif, pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam tahun terakhir yang sibuk dengan penyempurnaan kurikulum, mata pelajaran Antropologi justru semakin termarjinalisasi. Antropologi hanya menjadi sub-bahasan Â saja dalam mata pelajaran lain. Antropologi juga semakin dianggap kurang penting, padahal antropologi sangat penting dalam konteks masyarakat multikultural seperti Indonesia. Hal tersebut menyebabkan terjadinya kendala-kendala dalam proses pembelajaran di antaranya kendala struktural, kultural, dan keterbatasan sumber daya manusia.Anthropology in high school subjects is incorporated in IPS batch (Social Sciences).

Mata pelajaran Sosiologi dipandang oleh sejumlah siswa sebagai mata pelajaran yang membosankan. Muatan materi sosiologi yang menyajikan banyak teori dan konsep seperti mengandung konsekuensi kepada siswa untuk menuntut semuanya dihafal secara baik. Model pembelajaran yang membosankan semakin membuat mata pelajaran ini kurang diminati oleh siswa. Strategi inovatif sudah dilakukan, namun pada prakteknya operasionalisasi model pembelajaran itu kurang efektif sehingga guru banyak yang kembali menggunakan model pembelajaran konvensional. Artikel ini ditulis untuk menyampaikan model pembelajaran Sosiologi bagi siswa Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA) berdasarkan pengalaman saya mengajar. Menurut pengalaman saya, strategi yang bisa digunakan untuk mengatasi masalah pembelajaran sosiologi antara lain adalah mengajukan pertanyaan kritis, eksplorasi artikel dan gambar/foto, nonton film, penelitian sederhana, dan membuat catatan harian. Melalui startegi ini, pembelajaran yang bersifat konstruktivisme lebih mudah dioperasional. Cara ini lebih dapat memberikan kesempatan kepada siswa untuk membangun pembelajaran secara mandiri dan menjadikan siswa lebih dekat memahami kenyataan sosial sebagai bagian dari kehidupannya sekaligus sebagai materi pembelajaran sosiologi. Students often regard Sociology as a boring subject. The subject presents many sociological theories and concepts students to memorize. Boring method of teaching further makes the course less attractive to students. Innovative strategy have been used, but in practice the method is not effective and teachers return to conventional models. This article is written based on the authorâ€™s experience in teaching Sociology among high school students. Based on my experience, strategies that can be used to create innovative learning include asking critical questions, exploring articles and pictures / photos, analyzing movies, doing simple research, and keeping a diary. Through this strategy, constructivist learning is much easier to run. This method is better able to provide the opportunity for students to develop independent learning and make students more intensively to understand social reality as a part of his life as well as the learning materials of sociology.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan ritual yang dilakukan di Kelenteng melibatkan masyarakat Tionghoa dan non Tionghoa baik sebagai pendukung, pengaman maupun penonton, sehingga terjadi suatu solidaritas sosial diantara mereka. Partisipasi masyarakat non Tionghoa dan Tionghoa dapat meningkatkan integrasi sosial masyarakat khususnya di Desa Adiwerna. Keterlibatan masyarakat sekitar kelenteng khususnya masyarakat non Tionghoa dalam ritual masyarakat Tionghoa diupayakan tidak mengarah pada terjadinya percampuran agama yang dianggap bisa menumbuhkan masalah baru dalam hubungan antar umat beragama.The location of Ban Eng Bio temple in the middle of the Chinese and non-Chinese residences , with different religious backgrounds, brings many influences. One of them is the influence on the rituals performed in the temple. The implementation of the ritual in the temple does not only involve the Chinese community around the temple, but also non-Chinese communities in the surrounding areas. The objective of this reasearch is to study how rituals performed at the Ban Eng Bio templeÂ  and the participation of non-Chinese and Chinese communities around the temple forms solidarity and social integration. The methods of research is a qualitative approach and data was collected through observation, interview and documentation.

The participation of non-Chinese and Chinese society also improves the social integration of people, especially in the VillageÂ  of Adiwerna. The involvement of communities around the temples, especially non-Chinese people in Chinese society ritual does not lead into the mixing of religion because it can grow a new problem in inter-religious relations.

This study is a qualitative study conducted in SMAN 4 Purworejo. Data were collected through a method of observation and interviews with teachers of Sociology. The results show that the characteristics of a multicultural approach to education implemented by high school sociology include three forms: teacherâ€™s emphasis on the optimization of studentsâ€™ rationality, practice and dissent habituation. This approach is appropriate for the learning activities on material of social groups in multicultural societies. Constraints in the implementation of a multicultural approach in high school include time allocation, studentâ€™s concentration, the limitations of instructional media used during the learning process, and finally the studentâ€™s interest in learning. This makes teachers work hard to make the variation in learning in order that teaching and learning activities can have good results.
