On the Issue of University Autonomy
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Tsurkan Evgeniy G.
Published: May 2021

The main hypothesis of this work is that the guiding distinction that forms the conceptual framework of W. von Humboldt’s political theory is the binary op­position state/society. The article is devoted to the explication of this distinction (and related conceptual constructions) from the Humboldt’s creative heritage in order to define the influence of this distinction on the argumentation used by V. von Humboldt to justify the necessity of autonomy of the university from the state. The article presents the historical context of the development of V. von Humboldt’s views on the issue of the limits of useful state intervention in the lives of citizens. The author denotes the continuity of the ideas and ar­guments expressed by Humboldt in the context of limiting state intervention in the life of society in general and in the life of university in particular. The es­sential properties of the state and large collectives are the production of monotony and mechanical nature, while the essential properties of individuals and society are freedom and diversity, which are declared as necessary conditions for the commensurate development of human forces into a single whole (Bildung). Ac­cording to Humboldt’s concept, attempts by the state to take care of the positive good of citizens automatically lead to the mental and moral decline of the peo­ple, the reign of the spirit of monotony, and the formation of people as machines.
What are We to Treat As an End? Kant’s Answer and Its Contemporary Relevance
Authors:   Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Chaly Vadim A.
Published: May 2021

A common point in today’s debates in various areas is that the consequences of accelerating anthropogenic changes, which include climate change and pan­demics, are challenging humanity, and that the latter requires protection. But un­derstanding should precede actions, otherwise the desire for security in a si­tuation of fear and ignorance can lead to measures with opposite results. In the attempts to provide philosophical meaning to our present condition the Kantian position is among the most respectable. “So act that you use human­ity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, always at the same time as an end, never merely as a means” - this formula of Kant’s categoricalimperative has become commonplace, it is explicitly and implicitly used as a supreme principle in many ethical arguments, declarations, conventions, char­ters, and codes. At the same time, the understanding of what Kant meant by hu­manity, as well as its autonomy and dignity, widely differs across different philo­sophical camps and schools. The purpose of this paper is to try to make this crucial concept of humanity more clear, first, by analyzing the context of Kant’s thought, second, by studying the use of the concept in Kant’s texts. The claim of the paper is that Kant unites in the concept of humanity four heterogeneous yet equally necessary meanings that enter complex relations and provide valuable insights into today’s discussions
Digital Turn: Global Trends and Local Specifics
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Savchuk Valery V. , Ocheretyany Konstantin A. ,   St. Petersburg State University
Published: May 2021

The article reviews emerging research programs and analyzes new research strategies, including media epistemological and media archeological approaches, interface semiotics, economic theory of communication between market entities, etc. The main questions of the article: how is a digital turn in culture possible, what are its preconditions and consequences that radically transform the context of life? The development of information technologies has led to the emergence of a number of research areas such as chaos theory, transformational linguistics, bioinformatics, etc. Applied theories today can already change not only basic epistemological, but also ontological concepts. Thus, the spheres of everyday existence, habitually labeled as marginal, become decisive for global political, economic and socio-cultural subjects. So, the message on social networks affects the stock markets, the behavior of computer players – on the ways of interacting with digital gadgets, and the instrumental and communication skills of our time, the network content of private video bloggers can sometimes determine the main agenda in the media. Software applications of the digital environment developed in the IT industry determine the set of tools available to the user, and with them, the ways of expressing and perceiving thoughts. The authors share the conclusion: whatever we work on, we work together with the digital mind, which in the form of Big Data, Big Five, Cyber DNA and other technologies determines our actions. The essence of the digital turn is not taken by the arsenal of pre-digital methodological attitudes that require a return to the original unity of logic, epistemology, ethics and aesthetics in an era of epistemological uncertainty. The situation becomes more complicated in connection with the declared counter-tendencies of globalization – glocalization.
The Changing Extreme Values of Summer Relative Humidity in the Tarim Basin in Northwestern China
Authors: Nian Da , Linz Marianna , Mooring Todd A. , Fu Zuntao
Published: May 2021

Relative Humidity (RH) in the arid region of the Tarim Basin is crucial for many reasons. The Tarim Basin has experienced a tendency to become wetter in recent decades, and the RH here also shows an increase over the past decade. However, there has been little examination of these RH changes and especially the changes to the extremes. This study investigates the changes in extreme values and the probability distribution function (PDF) of summer RH using quantile regression during 2006-2018 to understand the possible reasons for the increase in the summer RH anomaly. We find that extremely high values of RH show a consistent significant increase, while extremely low values have no regionally consistent tendency. The overall average value of RH in the Tarim Basin becomes higher, driven by the upper half of the PDF. To explore the physical mechanism for these changes, we examine the corresponding regional meteorological anomaly patterns. The patterns indicate that the anomalous southwesterly airflow at 500hPa brings ample moisture into the basin and the ground in the middle of the basin significantly cools down when an extreme wet event occurs, promoting the occurrence of the extreme high RH. In this process, the contributions of water vapor transport and temperature are of equal significance though with different relative timing. These corresponding regional meteorological patterns occur more often in the most recent decade, which coincides with the recent increase in RH extremes in this region.
‘What if I feel it is mine?’ – The impact of psychological ownership on public participation in China's transboundary watershed eco-compensation
Authors: Ni Qi , Cai Yu , Xu Tao , Zhao Minjuan
Published: May 2021

Clarifying the impact of psychological ownership on public participation in transboundary eco-compensation will contribute to compensation transforming from the current government-led economic incentive mode to the normative guidance of effective public participation, which is of great significance to transboundary management of water resources. From the perspective of social psychology, this paper uses a double hurdle model, empirically analyzes the impact of psychological ownership on public participation, and explores the internal laws and driving mechanisms of behavior. Results show the willingness to participate mainly depends on the public's judgment of self-ability and their own responsibility and values, while the degree of participation depends on the judgment and grasp of self-governance ability. The more they agree that protecting the environment is the responsibility and obligation of citizens, the lower their willingness to pay. China's long-term ‘government-led environmental governance’ mode has led to the formation of a serious government dependence psychology among the public.
Effects of iron ions, doping methods and nanotubular morphology on TiO2 solar photocatalytic performance
Authors: Melki Rafik , Laoufi Nadia Aïcha , Mouheb Abdelkader
Published: May 2021

The effects of Fe2+ and Fe3+ as TiO2 cocatalysts were studied, and the experimental results showed that Fe3+ was more efficient than Fe2+, which needed an intermediate reaction to produce hydroxyl radicals. TiO2 was modified with the aim of improving its structural, optical, and adsorption properties, thus improving its photocatalytic performance. The light range of the catalyst activation process was expanded, which increased the catalyst's ability to absorb visible light. Consequently, this study exploits solar energy in photocatalysis by Fe ion doping using different methods, including impregnation, photodeposition, solvothermal doping, and hydrothermal doping, and evaluates the influence of each doping method on TiO2 optical properties and photocatalytic activity. Enhancing the catalyst adsorption capacity by morphologically modifying TiO2 nanoparticles into nanotubes using the hydrothermal method increases the catalyst surface area from 55 to 294 m2/g, as shown in the SEM and BET results. The effect of combining morphological changes and Fe3+ doping on TiO2 activity was evaluated. We observed a reduction in the TiO2 band gap from 3.29 to 3.01 eV, absorption edge widening, and an increase in the specific surface area up to 279 m2/g; thus, the synthesized catalyst eliminated Cefixime in 120 min.
Appraisal of Nano-Lipidic Astaxanthin cum Thermoreversible Gel and its Efficacy in Haloperidol Induced Parkinsonism
Authors: Gautam Deepika , Singh Samipta , Maurya Priyanka , Singh Manjari , Kushwaha Sapana , Saraf Shubhini A.
Published: May 2021

Background:

Parkinsonism has a toxic cascade of neurodegeneration, with akinesia as a
major manifestation. Some antioxidants have shown promise against the disease. Astaxanthin is a
powerful antioxidant, demonstrates free radical scavenging, and is also a potential neuroprotective
agent.

Objective:

The objective of this study was to formulate astaxanthin-laden nanostructured lipid carriers
based thermoreversible gel for better neuronal uptake and better neuronal efficacy.

Methods:

The method for fabricating astaxanthin-nanostructured lipid carriers (ATX-NLC) was
melt-emulsification, and these were optimized using factorial design and further evaluated for diverse
parameters. Neurotoxicity was induced in rats by haloperidol. The treated and non-treated
rats were then witnessed for their behaviour. TBARs and GSH levels were also determined. Pharmacokinetics
was studied via HPLC.

Results:

The average particle size (by DLS), entrapment efficiency and zeta potential of optimized
ATX-NLC were 225.6 ± 3.04 nm, 65.91 ± 1.22% and -52.64 mV, respectively. Astaxanthin release
(after 24 h in simulated nasal fluid) from optimized ATX-NLC was 92.5 ± 5.42%. Its thermoreversible
nasal gel (ATX-NLC in-situ gel) was prepared using poloxamer-127. The obtained gel
showed in-vivo betterment in the behaviour of animals when studied using the rotarod and akinesia
test. Pharmacokinetic studies showed better availability of astaxanthin in the brain on the rats treated
with ATX-NLC in-situ gel as compared to those treated with ATX-in-situ gel.

Conclusion:

Astaxanthin-loaded lipidic nanoparticulate gel can be a hopeful adjuvant therapy for
Parkinsonism and holds scope for future studies.

Authors: Baihaqi Ahmad Briezy , Puspitasari Maria , Zuraida Maria , Nurcholis Ahmad
Published: May 2021

Atlet berprestasi memiliki risiko yang bisa menyebabkan kesulitan keuangan saat pensiun dari olahraga. Atlet dengan risiko cedera tinggi berpeluang lebih besar mengalami kesulitan keuangan karena berpotensi pensiun lebih dini akibat cedera. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana manajamen risiko yang dilakukan atlet berprestasi dari cabang olahraga dengan risiko cedera tinggi untuk meminimalisir risiko saat pensiun dengan mengoptimalkan pendapatan yang dimiliki ketika masih aktif sebagai atlet. Landasan konsep yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah manajemen risiko dengan dua perencanaan, yaitu perencanaan keuangan menggunakan perencanaan keuangan pribadi milik Kapoor, Dlabay dan Hughes (2009) dan perencanaan pendidikan. Wawancara mendalam dilakukan terhadap empat atlet berprestasi dan satu perwakilan federasi serta studi dokumen. Hasilnya, manajemen risiko yang dimiliki keempat informan yaitu tabungan dari gaji pegawai negeri sipil dan honor atlet, investasi berupa tanah dan properti, dan rumah atas nama sendiri. Manajemen risiko yang dimiliki masih membuat informan rentan terpapar risiko saat pensiun karena hanya mengelola risiko dari sisi materi yang bisa habis. Sementara itu keempat informan tidak melanjutkan pendidikan tinggi. Idealnya, manajemen risiko juga dilakukan oleh federasi dengan membuka peluang beasiswa untuk atlet melanjutkan pendidikan tinggi. Rekomendasi dari penelitian ini yaitu pemerintah perlu mendorong dan menyediakan beasiswa afirmasi untuk pendidikan tinggi atlet. Indonesian athlete risk management planning (Case study athletes with high-risk injury) AbstractHigh-achieving athletes are at risk of causing financial difficulties when they retire from sports. Athletes with high injuries are more likely to experience financial difficulties due to early retirement due to injury. The purpose of this study was to see how risk management performed by high-achieving athletes from sports with high injuries to minimize risks at retirement by optimizing the income they had while still active as an athlete. The concept used in this research is risk management with two plans, financial planning using private financial planning by Kapoor, Dlabay and Hughes (2009) and educational planning. In-depth interviews were conducted with four athletes and one representative of the federation as well as document studies. The results of risk management owned by the four informants are savings from salaries of civil servants and athletes' honor, investment in the form of land and property, and houses in their own names. Athlete is still vulnerable to be exposed by risk during retirement. The four informants did not continue their higher education. Risk management is also carried out by the federation with scholarship opportunities for athletes to continue their higher education. The recommendation of this research is that the government encourages and provides affirmative scholarships for higher education athletes.

Gender-Dependent Effects of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals on Retinoic Acid-Related Orphan Receptor Alpha [RORA] and Aromatase Genes on Human Progenitor Neurons

Published: May 2021

Normally we encounter a myriad of chemicals in our daily lives. Endocrine disrupting chemicals [EDCs] are ubiquitous in our environment and upon bodily entry many be stored in adipose tissue and, in pregnant woman, can reach the developing fetal brain, disrupting normal fetal brain development. EDC-induced aberrant levels of sex hormones can alter sexual dimorphism [i.e. degree of feminization or masculinization; sex differences in brain and behavior] and may contribute to the differential susceptibility of males and females to autism. Fetal development is guarded by the placenta which expresses high levels of aromatase, an enzyme that converts testosterone [T] to estrogen [E], and it appears that this process prevents the transfer of maternal T to the vulnerable developing fetus. Many investigators have shown a clear association between exposure to high levels of T during the prenatal and early postnatal periods, and development of autism spectrum disorder [ASD]. Retinoic acid-related orphan receptor-alpha [RORA] is a transcription factor that regulates aromatase. We analyzed the effects of six commonly encountered EDCs on human progenitor neurons from both genders and evaluated the differential expression of both aromatase and RORA by real-time PCR using an in vitro approach. We also evaluated the effects of the EDCs on neurite formation. Male and female human neuroblastoma cell lines were used to evaluate the effects of EDCs on neurite formation and the expression of RORA and CYP19A1. The morphologic analyses showed significant neuromodifications in neurite formation and a significant differential downregulation of RORA in male, but not in female neurons. Dysregulation in CYP19A1 was not gender-associated but was dependent on the dose of EDCs. Our findings confirm previous reports of differential downregulation of RORA in male neurons while expanding the gene-environment connection where estrogenic or androgenic EDCs can profoundly dysregulate RORA and aromatase gene expression, leading to a cascade of a highly integrated gene-network, associated with ASD.
Using Social Media to Engage Knowledge Users in Health Research Priority Setting: Scoping Review (Preprint)
Authors: Sivaratnam Surabhi , Hwang Kyobin , Chee-A-Tow Alyssandra , Ren Lily , Fang Geoffrey , Jibb Lindsay
Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND

The need to include individuals with lived experience (ie, patients, family members, caregivers, researchers, and clinicians) in health research priority setting is becoming increasingly recognized. Social media–based methods represent a means to elicit and prioritize the research interests of such individuals, but there remains sparse methodological guidance on how best to conduct these social media efforts and assess their effectiveness.

OBJECTIVE

This review aims to identify social media strategies that enhance participation in priority-setting research, collate metrics assessing the effectiveness of social media campaigns, and summarize the benefits and limitations of social media–based research approaches, as well as recommendations for prospective campaigns.

METHODS

We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science from database inception until September 2021. Two reviewers independently screened all titles and abstracts, as well as full texts for studies that implemented and evaluated social media strategies aimed at engaging knowledge users in research priority setting. We subsequently conducted a thematic analysis to aggregate study data by related codes and themes.

RESULTS

A total of 23 papers reporting on 22 unique studies were included. These studies used Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, websites, video-calling platforms, emails, blogs, e-newsletters, and web-based forums to engage with health research stakeholders. Priority-setting engagement strategies included paid platform–based advertisements, email-embedded survey links, and question-and-answer forums. Dissemination techniques for priority-setting surveys included snowball sampling and the circulation of participation opportunities via internal members’ and external organizations’ social media platforms. Social media campaign effectiveness was directly assessed as number of clicks and impressions on posts, frequency of viewed posts, volume of comments and replies, number of times individuals searched for a campaign page, and number of times a hashtag was used. Campaign effectiveness was indirectly assessed as numbers of priority-setting survey responses and visits to external survey administration sites. Recommendations to enhance engagement included the use of social media group moderators, opportunities for peer-to-peer interaction, and the establishment of a consistent tone and brand.

CONCLUSIONS

Social media may increase the speed and reach of priority-setting participation opportunities leading to the development of research agendas informed by patients, family caregivers, clinicians, and researchers. Perceived limitations of the approach include underrepresentation of certain demographic groups and addressing such limitations will enhance the inclusion of diverse research priority opinions in future research agendas.

On the Spillover Effects of CO2 Taxation on the Emissions of other Air Pollutants
Authors: Pereira Alfredo M. , Pereira Rui M.
Published: May 2021

In this paper, we compare and contrast the environmental, macroeconomic and distributive effects of CO2 taxation with the effects of taxing a variety of air pollutants at their external costs. We do so using a multi-sector and multi-household dynamic computable general equilibrium model of the Portuguese economy. We find that a carbon tax of 114 euros per ton of CO2 is necessary to achieve the IPCC 2030 targets. It does so, however, at a high macroeconomic and distributional cost. In turn, the macroeconomic and distributional effects of taxing different pollutants at their external costs in line both qualitatively and quantitatively with the effects of the CO2 taxation. In absolute terms, however, better environmental results in terms of GHG and air pollutants emissions are achieved through the level of CO2 taxation necessary to achieve the IPCC targets than through direct taxation of such emissions at their external costs. Ultimately, the benefits of complementing the CO2 taxation with the taxation of other air pollutants at their external costs does not seem significant from either efficiency, fairness, or environmental perspectives to justify the practical complexity of considering it.
African swine fever endemic persistence in wild boar populations: key mechanisms explored through modelling
Authors: gervasi Vincenzo , Guberti Vittorio
Published: May 2021

African swine fever (ASF), is a serious global concern from an
ecological and economic point of view. While it is well established that
its main transmission routes comprise contact between infected and
susceptible animals and transmission through contaminated carcasses, the
specific mechanism leading to its long-term persistence is still not
clear. Among others, a proposed mechanism involves the potential role of
convalescent individuals, which would be able to shed the virus after
the end of the acute infection. Using a spatially explicit, stochastic,
individual-based model, we tested: 1) if ASF can persist when
transmission occurs only through infected wild boars and infected
carcasses; 2) if the animals that survive ASF can play a relevant role
in increasing ASF persistence chances; 3) how hunting pressure can
affect the ASF probability to persist. The scenario in which only direct
and carcass-mediated transmission were contemplated had 52% probability
of virus persistence 10 years after the initial outbreak. The inclusion
of survivor-mediated transmission corresponded to slightly higher
persistence probabilities (57%). ASF prevalence during the endemic
phase was generally low, ranging 0.1-0.2%. The proportion of
seropositive individuals gradually decreased with time and ranged 4.5 –
6.6%. Our results indicate that direct and carcass-mediated infection
routes are sufficient to explain and justify the long-term persistence
of ASF at low wild boar density and the ongoing geographic expansion of
the disease front in the European continent. During the initial years of
an ASF outbreak, hunting should be carefully evaluated as a management
tool, in terms of potential benefits and negative side-effects, and
combined with an intensive effort for the detection and removal of wild
boar carcasses. During the endemic phase, further increasing hunting
effort should not be considered as an effective strategy. Additional
effort should be dedicated to finding and removing as many wild boar
carcasses as possible.

Actinomycosis is a rare, indolent and invasive infection caused by
Actinomyces species. Pulmonary actinomycosis is very rarely seen in the
paediatric population. The classic radiological presentation of thoracic
involvement of actinomycosis includes lower lobe consolidation, empyema
and periostitis of the ribs. We report a case of endobronchial pulmonary
actinomycosis in a child diagnosed on endobronchial biopsy and
broncho-alveolar lavage taken during bronchoscopy. Bronchoscopy can be
dangerous when performed on these cases, as there is a risk of severe
bleeding and large airway obstruction, as was the case with this
patient.
Applicability of Stoic Philosophy to Character Education
Authors:   University of Latvia, Leitlande Gita
Published: May 2021

Character education requires an interdisciplinary approach of education, philosophy, and psychology. Philosophical school of Stoicism is well positioned to be used as an underpinning philosophical theory to reinforce and fortify the effectiveness of character education, as it resembles both virtue-based approach and shares virtues with those promoted by character education. The article contains an example of Latvia’s government regulations and approach to virtue-based character education. The aim of a study is to explore how Stoic philosophy can be instrumental for educators implementing a character education approach within school education. The study was conducted using qualitative research methods, by analysing sources of Stoicism and applying them to contemporary concepts and understanding of character education. The results of the study consist of the identified seven key insights how Stoic philosophy can make a valuable contribution, supplemented by recommendations for each key insight in a form of conclusion. Stoic philosophy emphasises teaching through context, role models, and through Stoicism itself, based on an assumption of a sustained process. Since character education in schools is a growing movement, today’s educators can draw ideas directly from these findings, as well as approaching character education through a lens of Stoicism.

Published: May 2021

Topicality of the article is that the development of a child's speech today needs to become more important and be promoted, because increasingly teachers in pre-school face the situation of children entering the pre-school environment with poorly developed vocabulary and insufficient skills to make a request to be able to communicate effectively with peers and adults. The aim of the article is to study the promotion of the Latvian learning of children of pre-school age in the pedagogical process in theoretical and practical terms, by implementing various methods and through the provision of the educational environment. The research includes analysis of scientific literature and methodology for learning the Latvian language of children aged 5-6 years old in pre-school education institutions of Riga and Kurzeme, evaluating audio records, and qualitative analysis of the observed facts. Research question – how to improve the acquisition of Latvian language of native speakers and minority pre-school age children? The research was conducted in May and June 2019 and the data were received from 4 pre-school educational establishments in Kurzeme (75 records) and 5 pre-school educational establishments in Riga (75 records). Pre-school child language records were performed in groups with Latvian and Russian as the daily languages. On the basis of the results of an empirical study, the promotion of Latvian learning for children of pre-school age has been updated in the pedagogical process, by developing a knowledge-based environment appropriate to the approach of competence. To become more familiar with the reasons for improving a child's insufficient Latvian language, as well as to help find an objective view of the results of learning the Latvian language in the pedagogical process of implementing various methods, the experimental methodology for phonology, grammatical, (morpho) phonology and reading skills developed in the project, was used.

Objectives

To discern the effects of computer-aided design (CAD)/computer-aided manufactured (CAM) customized appliances and piezocision on orthodontic treatment (OT).

Materials and Methods

The study combined findings from two previously published randomized controlled trials: (1) standard OT vs piezocision-assisted standard OT, and (2) CAD/CAM OT vs piezocision-assisted CAD/CAM OT. Piezocision is a minimally invasive corticotomy surgical procedure used to accelerate orthodontic treatment and CAD/CAM refers to CAD/CAM customized brackets and archwires. The outcomes were the overall treatment time, and the durations of the alignment phase and fine-tuning phase. Clinical and radiological features also were evaluated.

Results

The combined study included 48 patients with similar baseline characteristics. Compared to the standard treatment, CAD/CAM technology alone significantly decreased the overall median OT time from 543 to 394 days (P < .001) and from 543 to 254 days (P < .0001) when combined with piezocision. Although piezocision significantly reduced the duration of the alignment phase in the mandible and maxilla, CAD/CAM technology considerably shortened the fine-tuning phase. All periodontal and radiographic parameters remained stable from the start to the end of treatment in all groups.

Conclusions

CAD/CAM technology combined with piezocision accelerates the entire OT process, during the alignment phase for piezocision and during the fine-tuning phase for CAD/CAM, with a global reduction of the overall treatment time of more than 50%.
PENINGKATAN KETERAMPILAN PROSES SAINS MELALUI METODE INQUIRY TERBIMBING PADA PEMBELAJARAN BIOLOGI SMA
Authors: Ardiyanti Yusi
Published: May 2021

Penelitian ini menunjukkan bagaimana penerapan metode guided inquiry untuk meningkatakan keterampilan proses sains (KPS) siswa Sma?”. Namun karena KPS dalam penelitian ini di batasi pada keterampilan berkomunikasi, keterampilan mengajukan pertanyaan, keterampilan merencanakan percobaan, dan keterampilan proses berhipotesis. Sehingga muncul permasalahan lain, yaitu bagaimana strategi guru dalam menerapkan guided inquiry pada tiap aspek KPS. Metode yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini adalah Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) yang dilakukan sebanyak dua. Dari PTK tersebut di dapat hasil yang menunjukan bahwa terdapat peningkatan rata-rata hasil pembelajaran yaitu dari 5,15 (siklus I) menjadi 5,88 (siklus II), begitupun dengan setiap indikator KPS terjadi kenaikan, kenaikan terbesar ada pada keterampilan melakukan percobaan, hal ini menujukkan bahwa pembelajaran yang   menggunakan   proses   untuk membentuk   pengetahuan   cenderung   lebih   bermakna. Sedangkan indikator keterampilan berkomunikasi mengalami peningkatan yang paling rendah, hal ini juga bisa menunjukkan bahwa siswa belum terbiasa untuk mengungkapkan ide, gagasan atau bahkan pengetahuan yang dimilikinya untuk di sampaikan pada orang lain yang sehingga orang lain pun memahaminya. Peningkatan ini di hitung berdasarkan rumus gain.
