PROSES METAKOGNISI MAHASISWA DENGAN TIPE ADVERSITY QUOTIENT (AQ) QUITTERS DALAM MEMECAHKAN MASALAH MATEMATIKA
Authors: Setyaningsih Rosana
Published: March 2019

ABSTRACT

Metacognition is one of the important things in supporting one's success in solving mathematics problems because by using metacognition when solving problems, effective problem solving will be obtained. Metacognition is one's awareness of his own thought process. In dealing with a problem, it will be influenced by Adversity Quotient (AQ), namely intelligence in facing difficulties and changing barriers into opportunities for success. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The subjects in this study were a Satya Wacana Christian University Mathematics Education student who had the AQ type of quitters. Quitters are a type of human who easily gives up in the face of difficulties. The results showed that the metacognition process experienced by the subject included metacognition awareness, evaluation, and regulation. In addition, metacognition also helps the subject to make thoughts and problem solving strategies more effective.

Comportamento térmico do solo: Estudo experimental pelo Hot Wire Method e aplicação numérica
Authors: Lopes Henrique , Vieira Ana , Soares Sofia
Published: March 2019

A crescente preocupação revelada pelas sociedades no que respeita à sustentabilidade energética do planeta, tornou-se o principal impulsionador para o desenvolvimento de formas de exploração de energia que contribuam para a redução dos gases com efeito de estufa. Os sistemas geotérmicos de baixa entalpia são hoje uma das tecnologias que utiliza recursos renováveis para climatização com maior crescimento em toda a Europa. O seu princípio base está associado à utilização do solo como fonte e dissipador de calor. O estudo dos mecanismos de transferência de calor e das propriedades térmicas do solo é determinante para avaliar a sua resposta como permutador de calor, e assim dimensionar e projetar sistemas mais eficientes. No âmbito de um trabalho de dissertação de mestrado relativo a Sistemas Geotérmicos de Baixa Entalpia, apresentam-se neste artigo alguns resultados relativos à caracterização térmica de um solo arenoso e parte das análises numéricas conduzidas relativas à interação térmica solo-estaca (transferência por condução). No âmbito do trabalho de laboratório foi concebido um sistema para medição da condutividade térmica de uma areia seca pelo Hot Wire Method, analisando-se entre outros, aspetos, a influência do índice de vazios na condutividade. As análises numéricas, que incluem apenas o processo de transferência de calor por condução, visam essencialmente, apresentar as principais variáveis envolvidas no funcionamento de uma estaca termoativa para condições de saturação nula e total e possíveis gamas de alteração de temperaturas.
Estudo dos mecanismos de compactação em misturas entre solo arenoso e altos teores de emulsão asfáltica
Authors: Costa de Lima Fabiola , Adonias Dantas Neto Silvrano
Published: March 2019

Este artigo apresenta uma avaliação dos mecanismos de compactação de misturas entre solo arenoso e altos teores de emulsão asfáltica. Para tanto, foram utilizados um solo classificado pelo Sistema Unificado de Classificação dos Solos como SP e uma emulsão asfáltica catiônica de ruptura lenta (RL-1C). As misturas entre solo e emulsão asfáltica foram confeccionadas com teores de emulsão entre 13% e 31%, em peso, e foram submetidas a diferentes condições de compactação, de forma que as informações obtidas permitissem a identificação dos mecanismos que governam a sua compactação, bem como a identificação da metodologia de compactação mais apropriada para este tipo de material. Os resultados mostraram que os mecanismos responsáveis pela compactação das misturas entre solo e altos teores de emulsão asfáltica são significativamente diferentes daqueles que regem a compactação dos solos granulares e finos. A rigidez do filme betuminoso apresentou-se como o parâmetro com maior influência na compactação das misturas estudadas, mostrando que para a obtenção de uma compactação eficiente é necessária a diminuição da viscosidade do ligante asfáltico, que pode ser feita pelo aumento da energia, ou aumento da temperatura do ligante no momento da compactação.
Examination of the fractal model for streaming potential coefficient in porous media
Authors: Duy Thanh Luong
Published: March 2019

In this work, the fractal model for the streaming potential coefficient in porous media recently published has been examined by calculating the zeta potential from the measured streaming potential coefficient. Obtained values of the zeta potential are then compared with experimental data. Additionally, the variation of the streaming potential coefficient with fluid electrical conductivity is predicted from the model. The results show that the model predictions are in good agreement with the experimental data available in literature. The comparison between the proposed model and the Helmholtz-Smoluchowski (HS) equation is also carried out. It is seen that that the prediction from the proposed model is quite close to what is expected from the HS equation, in particularly at the high fluid conductivity or large grain diameters. Therefore, the model can be an alternative approach to obtain the zeta potential from the streaming potential measurements.
Full factorial design of experiments for boron removal by iron hydroxide from colemanite mine wastewater
Authors: ÖZMETİN Cengiz , KORKMAZ Mustafa
Published: March 2019

In this study, iron hydroxide was in-situ generated from iron chloride in the jar test reactors and used for boron removal from both synthetic solutions and colemanite mine wastewater.  A time span of 32.5 minutes was enough for equilibrium between boron and iron hydroxide.  In the synthetic boron solutions, the variations of boron adsorption capacity of iron hydroxide were investigated by the experimental parameters chosen as pH (7-10), concentration (50-250 mg/L), iron chloride amount (2.5-10 g) and temperature (22.5-40 oC).  The optimum pH value for boron removal was determined as 7.  Because the higher boron concentrations supported to the boron uptake of iron hydroxide, the optimum boron concentration was 250 mg/L.  The boron uptake capacity of iron hydroxide increased with decreasing iron chloride dosage.  The boron adsorption onto the iron hydroxide was an exothermic process.  The optimum conditions obtained from the synthetic solution experiments were applied to the colemanite mine wastewater by 22 full factorial experimental design of factors which were dilution (1 and 10 fold) and iron chloride amount (5 and 10 g).  The optimization of boron removal by iron hydroxide was realized by analyzing Pareto chart.  Maximum capacity was calculated as 23.80 mg/g.

Decolonisation, Identity, Neo-Colonialism and Power
Authors: Olivier Bert
Published: March 2019

This paper explores the implications of â€œdecolonisation,â€ first by focusing on the work of African thinker, Frantz Fanonâ€™s work in this regard, particularly his insistence that decolonisation entails the creation of â€œnewâ€ people, before moving on to the related question of â€œidentity.â€ Here the emphasis is on the work of Manuel Castells, specifically his examination of three kinds of identity-construction, the third of which he regards as being the most important category for understanding this process in the 21st century, namely â€œresistance identity.â€ It is argued that this casts the decolonisation debate in South Africa in an intelligible light. An interpretation of E.M. Forsterâ€™s paradigmatically â€œdecolonisingâ€ novel, A Passage to India, is offered to unpack the meaning of the concept further, before switching the terrain to the question of the urgent need for a different kind of decolonisation, today, pertaining to the economic neo-colonisation of the world by neoliberal capitalism. The work of Hardt and Negri on the emerging world order under what they call â€œEmpireâ€ is indispensable in this regard, and their characterisation of the subject under neoliberal Empire in terms of the figures of the indebted, securitised, mediatised and represented, stresses the need for global decolonisation in the name of democracy. This part of the paper is concluded with a consideration of what decolonisation is really â€œall about,â€ namely power.

Children’s Rights in Primary Schools in Serbia – Situation and Expectations
Authors: Stamatović Jelena , Cicvarić Jelena Žunić
Published: March 2019

School is the most suitable place for students to learn about child rights and where these rights are to be respected. In the research we have conducted, the objective was to examine the knowledge of primary schoolstudents about the rights of the child and to obtain insight into how these rights are respected. Using an interview scaling technique, we questioned 351 final year primary school students and 231 teachers. The students did not rate their knowledge of child rights highly: they mostly expect teachers to provide them with information on child rights; the students obtain the majority of such information in the civic education classes, which is an optional subject and is not attended by all students, as well as in homeroom sessions. Teachers believe that it is the responsibility of homeroom teachers to familiarise students with the rights of a child. The rights to freedom of expression of students and their participation in decision-making are the least respected, according to both students and teachers. Furthermore, all believe that some forms of discrimination exist in schools. We have found especially significant suggestions and recommendations given by students and teachers to overcome the existing problems and provide better access to the rights of the child in school.

Published: March 2019

This work is introducing an enhanced Differential Evolution (DE) called AncDE. This proposed algorithm is using an additional population from the current generation and located it as ancestor. There are two parameter controllers to manage the selection of ancestor vector; aup for selection frequency and arp for age of selection. In this work we were applying Gaussian distribution on aup and we tested it on CEC 2015 Numerical Optimization Problem. Standard Differential Evolution will act as the benchmark. The result shows that AncDE with Gaussian approach has produced better result than standard DE.
The bumblebee Bombus hortorum is the main pollinating visitor to Digitalis purpurea (Common Foxglove) in a U.K. population
Authors: Broadbent Arthur , Bourke Andrew
Published: March 2019

Specialization in plant-pollinator systems represents an important issue for both the ecological understanding and conservation of these systems. We investigated the extent to which the bumblebee Bombus hortorum (Linnaeus) is the main potential pollinator of Common Foxglove, Digitalis purpurea L. Twenty D. purpurea patches were selected in North Yorkshire, U.K., ten each in woodland and garden or park habitat. All insects visiting D. purpurea within the patches were recorded over seventy 30-min bouts. The relative frequency of insect visitors to other flowering plant species within 15 m of each patch was also determined. B. hortorum and B. pascuorum were the two most frequent visitors to D. purpurea, accounting for 82 - 92% and 3 -17%, respectively, of all insect visits (n = 1682), depending on habitat. B. hortorum showed a significant preference for visiting D. purpurea relative to its frequency of visits to other available plant species. The relationship of D. purpurea with B. hortorum, which pollinates several plant species with long corollas, therefore represents a potential case of asymmetric specialization, albeit one that may vary spatially. Because D. purpurea reproduction appears dependent on insect pollination, B. hortorum and B. pascuorum may help underpin the viability of D. purpurea populations.
Spatial variation in pollinator communities and reproductive performance of Prosopis juliflora (Fabaceae)
Authors: Sajjad Asif , Saeed Shafqat , Bashir Muhammad Amjad
Published: March 2019

This study was conducted in an effort to understand the effects of spatial variations in pollinator assemblage due to habitat isolation on the reproductive performance of perennial plant species. Variations in pollinator assemblage structure (abundance, diversity and Shannon-Wiener index) were studied at three widely isolated (100 to 200 km apart) nature reserves of Southern Punjab, Pakistan, in order to explore its effects on reproductive performance of Prosopis juliflora. Species richness and abundance were highest in Pirowal Sanctuary followed by Chichawatni Sanctuary and Chak Katora forest reserve. The pollination system of P. juliflora was highly generalized with 77 insect visitor species in four orders among all the three sites. However, pollinator assemblage varied significantly in composition among the sites. Out of the four reproductive parameters considered, the number of pods per raceme and germination varied significantly among the three locations. The reproductive performance of P. juliflora in terms of number of pods per raceme and germination improved with abundance of pollinators.

Stad as A Strategy of Teaching Reading Comprehension in Junior High School
Authors: Ferina Fitri
Published: March 2019

This research investigated whether there was a significant difference on students’ achievement in reading comprehension taught using STAD and lecture method. The sample was the eighth-graders of SMPN 3 Banjarmasin. A quasi-experimental design was employed in this research. The experimental group was taught using STAD while control group was taught using lecture method. A reading comprehension test as the instrument of collecting data was administered for both groups. Based on the research result using t-test, it was found that the t value was higher than t-table (2.39315 > 2.00) which means that there is a significant difference of achievement between the experimental group and control group. From these findings it can be interpreted that the use of STAD is more effective than lecture method in teaching reading comprehension for junior high school students. It is suggested for English teachers in Junior High School to use STAD in teaching reading since it is useful in improving students’ reading comprehension achievement.

About the penetration of the diurnal and annual temperature variation into the subsurface
Authors: Buntebarth Günter , Pinheiro Maria , Sauter Martin
Published: March 2019

In order to evaluate the effect of the penetration of diurnal and annual wave temperature into the subsurface, the temperature has been monitored at an hourly recording frequency at depths of 40, 60 and 78 m between summer 2016 and summer 2018, at the geothermal experimental test site “Neutra” of the Georg-August-University of Göttingen, Germany. It has been asserted that the mean temperature gradient between 40 and 78 m continuously increases, because the temperature decreases at 40 m. The decrease can be explained by an increase in vegetation cover (trees, shrubs, etc.) in the perimeter of the test area, increasing the absorption of solar energy by the leaves. During the phenological growth season the diurnal temperature variation at the surface can be recorded in phase with opposite sign, even at a depth of 40 m, and the drop of the temperature at 40 m, when surface temperature reaches a value of nearly 9 °C, can be observed during small events of eco-dormancy during winter. The annual surface temperature variation of ±10 K induce the same effect with an amplitude of ±2mK at 40 m. It is stated that the dormant state of the vegetation cells is the reason of the annual variation of the residual temperature. At greater depths groundwater flows prevail and influence the temperature according to the structural properties of the encountered lithologies and the precipitation. The vegetation can transfer the daily and seasonal temperature variation to larger depths than expected based on the theory of heat conduction. This timely variation of the temperature gradient demonstrates that the determination of the terrestrial heat flow density is subject to several impacts induced from the surface as well as from the Earth’s interior. As a conclusion, temperature gradients determined at shallow depths may be influenced by changes in surface coverage.

Buku Ajar Pelatihan Kreativitas Deu-coupage bagi Pendidik PAUD
Authors: Ismaniar Ismaniar , Hazizah Nur
Published: March 2019

Pendidik memiliki peranan yang sangat penting dalam proses stimulasi yang diberikan di setiap lembaga pendidikan anak usia dini (PAUD). Kualitas yang dimiliki oleh seorang pendidik akan menentukan tinggi rendahnya kualitas yang dapat diberikan oleh lembaga. Jadi salah satu tolok ukur suatu lembaga bisa dikatakan berkualitas baik adalah jika lembaga tersebut didukung dengan keberadaan tenaga pendidik yang berkualitas baik pula. Di dalam PP No 32 Tahun 2013 tentang Standar Pendidikan dinyatakan bahwa untuk memberikan layanan pendidikan bagi anak usia dini, seorang pendidik dipersyaratkan memiliki latar belakang pendidikan minimal S1 PG-PAUD, atau S1 bidang pendidikan yang relevan. Namun, untuk dapat menjadi pendidik yang benar-benar profesional, dan dapat menginspirasi sekaligus mendorong perkembangan semua potensi anak, ternyata ijazah S1 saja tidak cukup. Seorang pendidik PAUD yang ideal juga akan dinilai dari kreativitas yang ditunjukkannya. Percuma jika suatu lembaga sudah memiliki banyak tenaga pendidik yang berijazah S1 yang relevan, tapi mereka terbelenggu dengan berbagai aktifitas pembelajaran yang bersifat rutinitas/tidak kreatif. Pendidik yang kreatif adalah pendidik yang dalam kesehariannya dengan anak, mampu mempesona anak didiknya, sehingga anak selalu terdorong untuk mengeksplor kemampuannya dan menjadi kreatif pula. Apalagi, salah satu target pemberian stimulasi pada anak sejak dini, agar anak tumbuh menjadi pribadi-pribadi yang cerdas, ceria, sehat dan kreatif. Sangat tidak mungkin anak menjadi kreatif jika pendidik yang mendampingi mereka tidak kreatif. Pada periode anak usia dini yang ditandai dengan kemampuan imitasi yang tinggi, semua perilaku dan performance pendidik senantiasa digugu dan ditiru oleh anak. Oleh karena itu, sebagaimana dikemukakan oleh Ki Hajar Dewantara, seorang pendidik yang baik itu harus menerapkan; ing ngarso sung tulodo, ing madyo mangun karso, tut wuri handayani (di depan memberi tauladan, di tengah membangkitkan semangat, dari belakang memberikan dorongan). Jadi, kalau ingin anak didik kreatif, pendidik harus menunjukkan performance yang pantas menjadi teladan kreativitas anak. Berdasarkan uraian di atas dapat disimpulkan bahwa seyogyanya setiap pendidik selalu meningkatkan kreativitasnya. Kreativitas yang dimiliki akan menambah daya tarik dan kekaguman anak kepada pendidik, di samping itu kreativitas tertentu juga mendatangkan nilai ekonomi bagi pendidik, sehingga dengan kreativitas yang dimiliki pada akhirnya dapat meningkatkan kesejahteraan pendidik. Salah satu cara yang dapat dilakukan untuk meningkatkan kreativitas pendidik adalah mengikuti program- program pelatihan kreativitas. Pada bahan ajar ini penulis akan membahas berbagai hal mengenai program pelatihan kreativitas Deu-coupage.

Published: March 2019

Concerns about the replication crisis and false findings have spread through a number of fields, including educational and psychological research. In some pockets, education has begun to adopt open science reforms that have proven useful in other fields. These include preregistration, open materials and data, and registered reports. These reforms are necessary and offer education research a path to increased credibility and social impact. But they all operate at the level of individual researchers’ behavior. In this paper, we discuss models of large-scale collaborative research practices and how they can be applied to educational research. The combination of large-scale collaboration with open and transparent research practices offers education researchers an exciting new method for falsifying theories, verifying what we know, resolving disagreements, and exploring new questions.

Authors: Alsabbagh Nouf Jassim
Published: March 2019

Limitations in natural resources have drawn the necessity to develop sustainable solutions for the future of the concrete industry. Kuwait has joined the worldâ€™s effort to encourage recycling by reducing the amounts of construction and demolition wastes sent to landfills, through the usage of recycled aggregates in Portland Cement concrete mixes. In this research, an experimental program was designed to test the effect of substituting virgin coarse aggregates with recycled aggregates obtained from demolished concrete. Four different concrete mixes were designed at a strength of 30MPa, with different partial replacement percentages of 100%, 50%, and 0%. All mixes were tested for workability. Samples were cast from each mix and tested for the flexural strength as well as the compressive strength; all results were compared to a control mix. Results demonstrated that in spite of the slight effect noted on both flexural and compressive strength, good quality concrete can still be achieved.

Published: March 2019

The development of Basidiomycota that is cultivated by utilizing space on the forest floor has not been done much, especially in Indonesia. The Basidiomycota found in Indonesia have very high diversity, but have not been explored so far. Basidiomycota fungi is an alternative as a source of natural nutraceuticals. This study aims to obtain Basidiomycota fungi isolates that have the potential as a nutraceutical source.  As the first stage in this research, the activities carried out were exploration, isolation on culture media, and identification of fungi based on genotypic characters. The results of this research have found eight types of basidiomycota that have the potential to be a source of nutraceutical in the geulis mountain forest area of â€‹â€‹West Java Indonesia. The fungi identified based on their genotypic characters were Pleurotus ostreatus, Ganoderma cf, resinaceum, Lentinula edodes, Vanderbylia fraxinea, Auricularia delicate, Pleurotus giganteus, Auricularia sp., and Tricholoma giganteum.

Authors: Bashir Shahid , Khwaja Mudassar Ghani
Published: March 2019

To investigate the green hotelâ€™s visitorsâ€™ decision-making process, this study provides a fresh insight into existing knowledge related to Pakistani consumerâ€™s beliefs regarding green practices, attitude toward green behavior, overall image, and behavioral intentions. Using Structural Equaltion Modelling (SEM) on a sample size of 372 Pakistani Lodging consumers, a test model confirmed that attitudes towards green behaviour have a positive influence on the overall image of green hotel, intention to visit green hotels, and willingness to pay more for green hotels. Moreover, environmental and luxury beliefs have a positive influence on attitudes and intentions about visiting green hotels, and willingness to pay more for green hotels. Furthermore, attitude towards green behaviour and overall image of green hotels have mediating roles exist in that test model, which is a unique contribution to the knowledge body. These outcomes are expected to help Pakistani marketers and managers, especially green management practitioners, to recognize more subjective initiatives for entering international and local segments.
The Fears, Anxieties, Speculations and Hope Amidst Uncertainties: Nigerian 2019 General Election in Periscope
Authors: Sule Babayo
Published: March 2019

General elections in Nigeria are often controversial and are perceived as elections with challenges and issues of legitimacy because of irregularities and malpractices that bedevilled the process of the electionsâ€™ conduct. The 2019 General Election is anticipated to be an election of greater interest and challenges accruing to the permutation of many factors that are manifesting currently within the political arena of Nigerian politics. This paper is a succinct examination of the predictive analysis of the prospects and the challenges that the 2019 General Election might produce. The problem is that despite the significant improvement recorded in the 2015 General Election, there are still challenges that are yet to be addressed in the electoral process. The paper is a descriptive and analytical work which relies on the use of secondary data such as books, journals and internet sources for data collection. The data collected was analysed using thematic analytical interpretations. The paper discovered that the 2019 General Election would be less challenging than the immediately previous one due to a weak opposition but some of the hitches that were encountered before might likely reoccur particularly the efficiency of the card readers and the violation of electoral regulations in addition to money politics. The paper recommends that the electoral body should re-strategised in making the smart card readers effective and the body needs to be vigilant in monitoring partiesâ€™ and candidatesâ€™ financial activities right from now in order to ensure compliance, transparency and a fair election.
Review on Gender Difference in HSB and PTG after Natural Disaster
Authors: Alamdar Sadaf , Zhang Yuqing
Published: March 2019

Millions of people are affected by the natural disasters in different regions of world. Survivors often witnesses prolong psychological distress by the death of loved one, damage of property, injuries and shortage of basic need. However, individual differences occur in their struggle with trauma, they also manifest positive change which is known as Post traumatic growth (Kleim & Ehlers, 2009). This growth can occur in both male and female survivors, findings of researches are inconsistent.

Help seeking behaviour refers to personâ€™s communication to seek guidance and support for treatment either formally from the professionals or informally. Researches on HSB show few trends. Young people and female seek help informally before they ask for the formal help whereas male try to avoid seek help at first (Benson, 1990; Offer, Howard, Schonert, & Ostrov, 1991; Rickwood & Braithwaite, 1994).

As per authors knowledge there is no published study available on gender role in help seeking behavior and PTG in natural disaster. The purpose to conduct this review article is to fill this gap in the literature. Furthermore, this will determine a role gender can play when seeking help and developing PTG and will help professionals to make treatment plans for different genders according to their needs.

Authors: Fatima Murk , Khero Murk
Published: March 2019

Student loyalty ensures management to take better strategies to improve the performance of any institute. The purpose of this research is to examine the factors impacting studentâ€™s loyalty through an empirical investigation of Higher Education Sector of Pakistan. The data for this research was collected through questionnaires from four major private universities of Karachi: SZABIST, IQRA University, Bahria University and Institute of Business Management (IOBM) with a sample size of 380. According to the nature of data, descriptive statistic and inferential statistics (regression & correlation) was used. In this research 51.6% respondents were male followed by females which are 47.9%. Results show that, female respondents are more inclined towards a university brand name and location as compare to males. On the side, males are more concerned about the universitiesâ€™ market value and faculty (teachers) as the major traits while choosing a particular university as compare to females. For universities facilities both the gender male and females have not shown much enthusiasm and interest. Moreover, program offered by the university, fee structure and extracurricular activities are not the primary focus for students (both male and females) as one of the university traits. Further the results demonstrate that, academic facilities and service attitude are highly correlated and have a great impact on studentâ€™s loyalty. Moreover, campus environment having a weaker correlation also impactâ€™s the studentâ€™s loyalty.  Other factors like, HOD and program manager have a significantly weak correlation with student loyalty and at the same time does not produce any impact. This research responded the questions raised and welcomed a wide range of discussions for the university management to work closely for studentâ€™s welfare to enhance and maintain the studentâ€™s loyalty. The study is restricted within three HEC institutes of Karachi city only due to limited time frame and financial resources available.
Empirical Tests of a Theory of Language, Mathematics, and Matter

Published: March 2019

In an earlier paper (Abler, 2006), I proposed a theory of language, especially sentences, based on the symmetrical structure of the equation. Here, I use the structure of equations to deduce neural structures (e.g., mirror neurons or intra-cellular macromolecules, or crystals, or resonations) that might generate them. Ultimately, the properties described are a consequence of dimensional properties of matter.

Authors: Arba Susan
Published: March 2019

Pendahuluan Karbon monoksida merupakan gas yang berbahaya untuk tubuh karena daya ikat gas CO terhadap Hb adalah 210 kali dari daya ikat O2 terhadap Hb. CO jika terhisap ke dalam paru-paru akan ikut peredaran darah dan akan menghalangi masuknya oksigen yang dibutuhkan tubuh, hal ini dapat terjadi karena gas CO bersifat racun metabolisme, sehingga menyebabkan saturasi oksigen menurun. Tujuan Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh pajanan CO dalam udara       ambien terhadap saturasi oksigen (SaO2) pada pedagang di Terminal Kota Ternate. Bahan dan Metode Rancang bangun penelitian yang digunakan adalah cross-sectional. Populasi adalah seluruh pedagang di Terminal Kota Ternate Besar sampel adalah 36 pedagang yang diambil berdasarkan uji korelasi. Data yang terkumpul kemudian diolah menggunakan program statistik dengan teknik linear. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan pengukuran CO dan Pemeriksaan saturasi oksigen menggunakan Pulse Oksimeter. Hasil Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rerata kebiasan merokok 276,3 batang rokok per   tahun yang termasuk perokok sedang, rerata masa pajanan adalah 10,86 tahun, gas CO di udara ambient sebesar 3,51 ppm,responden dengan saturasi oksigen 96%-100% adalah 21 orang (58,3%) dan saturasi oksigen < 96% adalah 15 orang (41,6%). Kesimpulan pada penelitian ini adalah  pajanan karbon monoksida udara ambien  memengaruhi tingkat SaO2.
