La normativa laboral sobre elecciones sindicales: razones para una reforma
Authors: González Martín Adrián
Published: May 2023

La vigente regulación de los procedimientos para realizar las elecciones de los representantes de los trabajadores en el seno de las empresas se recoge en la actualidad en el artículo 76 del Texto Refundido del Estatuto de los Trabajadores (Real Decreto Legislativo 1/1995, de 24 de marzo) y en los artículos 28 a 42 del Real Decreto 1844/1994, y lo esencial del mismo es que contempla un nuevo procedimiento arbitral, que se ha de seguir de manera obligatoria con carácter previo a la demanda ante los Juzgados de lo Social, procedimiento en el que se someten a un árbitro las controversias surgidas en el proceso electoral.
Los laudos arbitrales pueden ser objeto de revisión en los Juzgados de lo Social, pero el hecho de que contra las resoluciones judiciales que resuelvan las reclamaciones en materia electoral no quepa la formulación de recurso alguno, es el causante de que si bien podemos encontrar múltiples sentencias de los Juzgados de lo Social que interpretan la normativa sobre elecciones de los representantes de los trabajadores en las empresas, éstas recogen en determinadas materias fallos contradictorios, y ello no puede ser paliado por la carencia de jurisprudencia de Tribunales Superiores que unifiquen criterios interpretativos, salvo contadas excepciones en supuestos concretos que se analizan más adelante. Ello permite también que sean abundantes los laudos con criterios enfrentados a otros o a sentencias de los Juzgados de lo Social, cuando interpretan determinados preceptos legales o reglamentarios.
El objeto del trabajo es analizar aquellos preceptos legales y reglamentarios controvertidos que presentan una notable trascendencia en cuanto que afectan a aspectos esenciales de cualquier proceso electoral, para poner de manifiesto la inseguridad jurídica que ello genera y la necesidad, en consecuencia, de una reforma legal.

Published: May 2023

Bu çalışmada, okul öncesi ve müzik öğretmeni adaylarının kapsayıcılık değer başlıklarına yönelik görüş ve metaforlarının tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda kapsayıcılığın değer başlıkları incelenmiştir. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden fenomenoloji temel alınmıştır. Ölçüt örneklem ile belirlenen çalışma grubunu Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesi Müzik Öğretmenliği ve Muş Alparslan Üniversitesi Okul Öncesi Öğretmenliği lisans programlarının 4. sınıfında öğrenim gören 36 öğretmen adayı oluşturmuştur. Yine araştırmanın çalışma grubu oluştururken bu öğretmen adaylarının yüksek-orta-düşük gelir düzeyleri (her bir düzey için 12 öğrenci) ve cinsiyet durumlarına (kadın ve erkek sayısı eşit olmak üzere) dikkat edilmiştir. Veri analizinde tümevarımsal içerik analizi kullanılmış, veri setleri kodlanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarında “kapsayıcılık” başlığı altında ele alınan kavramların öğretmen adaylarının zihinlerinde yer eden anlamları ortaya konulmuştur. Öğretmen adaylarının kapsayıcılık değer başlıklarına ilişkin kavram yanılgılarının olduğu (hak, sürdürülebilirlik, şiddetsizlik vb.), bu kavram yanılgılarının “kapsayıcılık” kavramının kendisinde var olan karmaşa ile ilişkili olması sebebiyle, özellikle Türk eğitim sistemi bağlamında kültürel değerler dikkate alınarak yeniden ele alınması gerektiği önerilebilir. Bu noktada eğitim teorisyenleri, kültür ve edebiyat alanında çalışmalar yapan eğitimciler ve öğretmen yetiştiricilerle birlikte politika yapıcıların ortak bir çalışma yürütmesi önerilebilir.

Authors: Zimmermann Janin , Reim Julia , Kindler Heinz , Amberg Stefanie , Walper Sabine , Lux Ulrike
Published: May 2023

Anhaltende Konflikte der Eltern erschweren Kindern die Anpassung an eine Trennung. Es wird angenommen, dass v. a. Kinder, deren Eltern sich in einem familiengerichtlichen Verfahren befinden, einem hohen Maß an Koalitionsdruck durch ihre Eltern und Coparenting-Problemen ausgesetzt sind, was negative Folgen für die Eltern-Kind-Beziehungen, das Wohlbefinden und die Entwicklung der Kinder haben kann. Um dies zu untersuchen, wurden Daten der Wellen 7 und 9 des Beziehungs- und Familienpanels pairfam zusammengefasst und analysiert. Die Stichprobe umfasste n=852 Kernfamilien, n=239 getrennte Familien ohne und n=44 Familien mit Gerichtsverfahren. Es zeigte sich, dass Kinder und Jugendliche aus Familien mit Gerichtsverfahren das höchste Ausmaß an emotionalen und Verhaltensproblemen berichteten. In Regressionsanalysen zeigte sich zudem, dass Coparenting-Probleme und wahrgenommener Koalitionsdruck mit einem erhöhten Risiko für das Auftreten von emotionalen und Verhaltensproblemen einhergingen. Belastungen in den Beziehungen zu den Eltern stellten dabei einen vermittelnden Faktor (Mediator) für diesen Zusammenhang dar, wobei sich Zusammenhänge teilweise verstärkt im Kontext laufender Gerichtsverfahren zeigten (Moderator). Kinder und Jugendliche, deren Eltern in familiengerichtliche Konflikte involviert sind, stellen folglich eine besonders belastete Gruppe von Kindern dar, wobei insbesondere Coparenting-Probleme und Koalitionsdruck die emotionale Sicherheit und das Wohlbefinden der Kinder negativ beeinflussen können.

What controls ozone sensitivity in the upper tropical troposphere?
Authors: Nussbaumer Clara M. , Fischer Horst , Lelieveld Jos , Pozzer Andrea
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Ozone is after water vapor, the second most important contributor to the radiative energy budget of the upper troposphere (UT). Therefore, observing and understanding the processes contributing to ozone production are important for monitoring the progression of climate change. Nitrogen oxides (NOx ≡ NO + NO2) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) are two main tropospheric precursors to ozone formation. Depending on their abundances, ozone production can be sensitive to changes in either of these two precursors. Here, we focus on processes contributing to ozone chemistry in the upper tropical troposphere between 30° S and 30° N latitude, where changes in ozone have a relatively large impact on anthropogenic radiative forcing. Based on modeled trace gas mixing ratios and meteorological parameters simulated by the EMAC atmospheric chemistry – general circulation model, we analyze a variety of commonly applied metrics including ozone production rates (P(O3)), the formaldehyde (HCHO) to NO2 ratio and the share of methyl peroxyradicals (CH3O2) forming HCHO (α(CH3O2)), for their ability to describe the chemical regime. We show that the distribution of trace gases in the tropical UT is strongly influenced by the varying locations of deep convection throughout the year, and we observe peak values for NOx and P(O3) over the continental areas of South America and Africa where lightning is frequent. We find that P(O3) and its response to NO is unsuitable for determining the dominant regime in the upper troposphere. Instead, α(CH3O2) and the HCHO / NO2 ratio in combination with ambient NO levels perform well as metrics to indicate whether NOx or VOC sensitivity is prevalent. A sensitivity study with halving, doubling and excluding lightning NOx demonstrates that lightning and its distribution in the tropics are the major determinants of the chemical regimes and ozone formation in the upper tropical troposphere.
Evaluating Snow Microwave Radiative Transfer (SMRT) model emissivities using observations of Arctic tundra snow

Published: May 2023

Abstract. Improved modelling of snow emissivity is needed to improve the assimilation of surface-sensitive atmospheric sounding observations from satellites in polar regions for Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP). This paper evaluates emissivity simulated with the Snow Microwave Radiative Transfer (SMRT) model using observations of Arctic tundra snow, at frequencies between 89 and 243 GHz. Measurements of snow correlation length, density and layer thickness were used as input to SMRT, and an optimization routine was used to assess the impact of each parameter on simulations of emissivity when compared to a set of Lambertian emissivity spectra, retrieved from observations of tundra snow from three flights of the Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements (FAAM) aircraft. Probability distributions returned by the optimization routine demonstrate parameter uncertainties and the sensitivity of simulations to the different snow parameters. Results showed that SMRT was capable of reproducing a range of observed emissivities between 89 and 243 GHz. Varying correlation length alone allowed SMRT to capture much of the variability in the emissivity spectra, however, overall RMSE (and MAE) decreased from 0.029 (0.018) to 0.013 (0.0078) when the thickness of the snow layers was also varied. When all three parameters were varied simulations were similarly sensitive to both correlation length and density, although the influence of density was most evident when comparing spectra from snowpacks with and without surface snow. Simulations were most sensitive to surface snow and wind slab parameters, while sensitivity to depth hoar depended on the thickness and scattering strength of layers above, demonstrating the importance of representing all three parameters for multi-layer snowpacks when modelling emissivity spectra. This work demonstrates the ability of SMRT to simulate snow emissivity at these frequencies, and is a key step in progress towards modelling emissivity for data assimilation in NWP.
ChronoLorica: introduction of a soil–landscape evolution model combined with geochronometers
Authors: van der Meij W. Marijn , Temme Arnaud J. A. M. , Binnie Steven A. , Reimann Tony
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Understanding long-term soil and landscape evolution can help us understand
the threats to current-day soils, landscapes and their functions. The
temporal evolution of soils and landscapes can be studied using
geochronometers, such as optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) particle ages or radionuclide inventories.
Also, soil–landscape evolution models (SLEMs) can be used to study the
spatial and temporal evolution of soils and landscapes through numerical
modelling of the processes responsible for the evolution. SLEMs and
geochronometers have been combined in the past, but often these couplings
focus on a single geochronometer, are designed for specific idealized
landscape positions, or do not consider multiple transport processes or
post-depositional mixing processes that can disturb the geochronometers in
sedimentary archives. We present ChronoLorica, a coupling of the soil–landscape evolution model Lorica
with a geochronological module. The module traces spatiotemporal patterns of
particle ages, analogous to OSL ages, and radionuclide inventories during
the simulations of soil and landscape evolution. The geochronological module
opens rich possibilities for data-based calibration of simulated model
processes, which include natural processes, such as bioturbation and soil
creep, as well as anthropogenic processes, such as tillage. Moreover,
ChronoLorica can be applied to transient landscapes that are subject to
complex, non-linear boundary conditions, such as land use intensification,
and processes of post-depositional disturbance which often result in complex
geo-archives. In this contribution, we illustrate the model functionality and
applicability by simulating soil and landscape evolution along a
two-dimensional hillslope. We show how the model simulates the development
of the following three geochronometers: OSL particle ages, meteoric 10Be inventories
and in situ 10Be inventories. The results are compared with field
observations from comparable landscapes. We also discuss the limitations of
the model and highlight its potential applications in pedogenical,
geomorphological or geological studies.
Dependence of turbulence estimations on nacelle lidar scanning strategies
Authors: Fu Wei , Sebastiani Alessandro , Peña Alfredo , Mann Jakob
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Through numerical simulations and the analysis of field measurements, we investigate the dependence of the accuracy and uncertainty of turbulence
estimations on the main features of the nacelle lidars' scanning strategy, i.e., the number of measurement points, the half-cone opening angle, the
focus distance and the type of the lidar system. We assume homogeneous turbulence over the lidar scanning area in front of a Vestas V52 wind
turbine. The Reynolds stresses are computed via a least-squares procedure that uses the radial velocity variances of each lidar beam without the
need to reconstruct the wind components. The lidar-retrieved Reynolds stresses are compared with those from a sonic anemometer at turbine hub
height. Our findings from the analysis of both simulations and measurements demonstrate that to estimate the six Reynolds stresses accurately, a
nacelle lidar system with at least six beams is required. Further, one of the beams of this system should have a different opening angle. Adding one
central beam improves the estimations of the velocity components' variances. Assuming the relations of the velocity components' variances as
suggested in the IEC standard, all considered lidars can estimate the along-wind variance accurately using the least-squares procedure and the
Doppler radial velocity spectra. Increasing the opening angle increases the accuracy and reduces the uncertainty on the transverse components, while
enlarging the measurement distance has opposite effects. All in all, a six-beam continuous-wave lidar measuring at a close distance with a large
opening angle provides the best estimations of all Reynolds stresses. This work gives insights on designing and utilizing nacelle lidars for inflow
turbulence characterization.

Authors: Shah Anuradha Kunal , Chavan Yuvaraj B , Sudarson Nived G , Sontakke Sagar K
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) saw an overhaul in the biomedical waste management (BMWM) practices. Waste handlers were at the brunt of these changes. If the challenges pertaining to BMWM at the ground level are better understood, more effective measures to overcome them can be formulated. Objectives: 1. To identify myths and concerns regarding BMWM in the context of COVID-19 pandemic. 2. To explore the challenges faced in BMWM amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. 3.To explore opportunities and future perspectives of BMWM. Method: In-depth interviews were conducted among 17 purposively selected Class IV health care workers during August to November 2021 in a tertiary care institute in Mumbai. Data was reported using thematic analysis. Results: Three major themes - challenges and concerns faced by BMW handlers, enablers/ motivators, opportunities and future practices were generated from the transcripts. Various challenges faced by waste handlers were- difficulties in segregation and transport of BMW, exhaustion from PPE usage and fear of acquiring and spreading COVID-19 from work, stigma faced from public, and handling COVID-19 deaths. Support from family and colleagues, incentives and a positive change in public perception enabled them to work. Forming redressal committees, addressing job security concerns and timely provision of good quality equipment can improve hospital waste management measures in the future. Conclusion: It is of utmost importance to address challenges faced by waste handlers in BMWM. Onus should also be on periodic training in BMW

Introduction: The novel Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) affected India, predominantly in two time periods – the first wave from March to December 2020, and the second wave that raged from April to July 2021. Although the time duration of second wave was shorter than the first, the onslaught of the disease was much more severe during the second wave. Objective: To compare the demographic characteristics and clinical outcomes of COVID-19 patients admitted during the first and second pandemic waves. Method: Demographic characteristics, duration of hospitalization, critical unit admission, and mortality data of 137 and 345 COVID-19 positive individuals, from first and second waves respectively, were retrospectively analyzed in a teaching hospital in South India. Descriptive statistics, Independent t test, chi square tests and regression analysis were used for statistical analysis, with significance level prefixed at 5%. Results: Median age of hospitalisation was 46.2 years and 48.39 years during first and second waves respectively, with male preponderance in second wave. There was a statistically significant difference in mean duration of stay (9.04 days v/s 7.53 days), mean Spo2 at admission (98.4% v/s 96.6%), ventilation requirement (1.5% v/s 8.7%), oxygen requirement and ICU care between the two waves. Conclusion: During the second COVID wave, significantly higher hospitalisation rates, intensive care requirements and inpatient mortality was observed. Elevated C Reactive Protein levels, lymphocytopenia, history of diabetes and other co-morbidities were associated with poor outcomes in both waves.

Research Results of Time Management Teaching Methods at the Undergraduate Level at TSU
Authors: Gulua Ekaterine
Published: May 2023

The paper describes the results of implementing methods of developing time management habits among bachelor’s degree students.
The research was carried out under the auspices of the Human Potential Management Laboratory of Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, within the framework of the elective course ("Leadership - The Art of Management") of the undergraduate level of the Faculty of Economics and Business of the same university.
The paper presents 2 practical methods of teaching time management and its results: 1. Assessment of students' time management habits through Haddon's test and results; 2. A method of developing time budget management habits by evaluating the actual day and week and determining the desired time budget for the week.
Teaching students of time management skills are important, especially in countries where the school and university infrastructure does not provide an opportunity to be aware and totally introduce a healthy lifestyle among young people. Making students aware of the importance of a variety of activities in their time and showing them opportunities in this direction will teach them the skills necessary to balance life. Teaching time management helps the student to write down/plan his goals in time and take concrete steps towards success.
Analysis of the process of small-scale public procurement in the education sector in the Czech Republic
Authors: Řeháček Vladislav
Published: May 2023

This paper explores the challenges associated with public procurement processes in the Czech Republic, as well as globally. In particular, it focuses on small-scale construction projects in the education sector and the problems associated with them, including policy making, pricing, efficiency, and the length of the procurement process. The paper also examines the risks associated with public procurement in the construction industry and how these risks can be managed through risk management. Moreover, it analyses the specific problems in the education sector, including imbalanced contractual conditions and unfair arrangements, which often shift the responsibility for risk aftermath to contractors. To gain insight into these issues, a research questionnaire was conducted among construction companies participating in the public procurement process. Based on the questionnaire results and a comparison between public and private procurement processes in the Czech Republic and Germany, the paper identifies flaws in the system and proposes potential solutions. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for small changes to be implemented to improve the system, even though corruption remains a major issue that needs to be addressed. Overall, this paper provides valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders on how to address the issues surrounding public procurement in the education sector in the Czech Republic and beyond.
An investigation into implementing out-of-class English support in one Japanese University.
Authors: Sato Kate , Sakabe Toshiyuki , Olson Robert
Published: May 2023

The purpose of this study is to assess the potential for an out-of-class EFL programme to be established in a Japanese university in the context of the globalisation of higher educational institutions according to MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) policies. The methodology centres on a mixed methods approach with the analysis of two parts each with two steps. Part 1 was an external evaluation consisting of (1) interviews and (2) visits to five other comparable universities with established programmes. Part 2 was an internal evaluation consisting of (1) a survey of students’ perceptions of learning English and (2) the feedback from two facilitators who lead a trial out-of-class English programme over a one-year period. Results from the external evaluation indicate that without the support of the institution, faculty-led initiatives will result in small programmes with limited facilities while institution-led initiatives have the potential to create a larger impact within the institution. The internal evaluation revealed a number of hindrances to implementing an out-of-class programme including perceptions of the students’ foreign language learning and how they like to pass their time out of class. Points for the university to consider are recommended. While this investigation focuses on one university at a set time, others in similar situations may find the results of interest to themselves.

Authors: Nordin Noorain Mohd , Koe Wei-Loon , Mohamed Nor Aizan , Rahman Siti Atiqah Abdul
Published: May 2023

In today's global economy, using online marketing and Internet has become an imperative move to improve business operations. However, due to limited technical diffusion and the fact that the majority of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia do not engage in research and development (R&D) activities, SMEs are still lagging behind in adopting this modern technology. Therefore, there is a need to investigate SMEs in terms of their extent of online marketing adoption and factors influencing their adoption of online marketing. A quantitative survey was conducted on 80 selected SMEs in Malaysia. The study found that the proposed framework could be used to assess the degree of online marketing adoption among SMEs. The adoption of online marketing among SMEs was rather high. Specifically, the findings demonstrated that compatibility, complexity and trialability significantly influenced adoption of online marketing. However, the adoption of online marketing was not affected by relative advantage and observability. This study further concluded compatibility was the most important factor which influenced SMEs in adopting internet marketing.

Resultados: os homens demonstram conhecimento acerca dos tipos de violência contra a mulher, Lei Maria da Penha, ambientes facilitadores e possíveis autores de agressão. Contudo, foi perceptível o viés machista e patriarcal acerca dos papéis de gênero apresentados por eles nas respostas, os quais são base para a perpetuação da violência de gênero. Conclusão: a partir desta pesquisa, notou-se que houve um avanço quanto à compreensão dos homens acerca das diversas formas de violência, entretanto, percebe-se um posicionamento pautado em concepções machistas e patriarcais.
Proactively Adjusting Stopping: Response Inhibition is Faster when Stopping Occurs Frequently
Authors: Doekemeijer Roos A. , Dewulf Anneleen , Verbruggen Frederick , Boehler C. Nico
Published: May 2023

People are able to stop actions before they are executed, and proactively slow down the speed of going in line with their expectations of needing to stop. Such slowing generally increases the probability that stopping will be successful. Surprisingly though, no study has clearly demonstrated that the speed of stopping (measured as the stop-signal reaction time, SSRT) is reduced by such proactive adjustments. In addition to a number of studies showing non-significant effects, the only study that initially had observed a clear effect in this direction found that it was artifactually driven by a confounding variable (specifically, by context-independence violations, which jeopardize the validity of the SSRT estimation). Here, we tested in two well-powered and well-controlled experiments whether the SSRT is shorter when stopping is anticipated. In each experiment, we used a Stop-Signal Task, in which the stop-trial frequency was either high (50%) or low (20%). Our results robustly show that the SSRT was shorter when stop signals were more anticipated (i.e., in the high-frequent condition) while carefully controlling for context-independence violations. Hence, our study is first to demonstrate a clear proactive benefit on the speed of stopping, in line with an ability to emphasize going or stopping, by trading off the speed of both.

A pandemia da corona vírus configurou radicalmente, no âmbito educacional, as formas de se estabelecer comunicação e os processos de ensino e de aprendizagem. O cenário pandêmico fez emergir uma nova didática, e novas formas de relações pedagógicas, sobretudo em se considerando a relação entre alunos e professores. O presente texto foca na problemática das aulas remotas e visa compreender as limitações e potencialidades deste tipo de aula, bem como analisar as relações comunicativas e interações de professores com seus alunos em tempos de pandemia. Quatro professores que atuam em cursos de pós-graduação stricto sensu de uma universidade pública do estado da Bahia participaram da pesquisa. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, ancorada na abordagem (auto)biográfica, tendo como dispositivo as entrevistas narrativas. Os resultados sugerem que há uma evidente problemática na aula remota que torna grandioso o desafio que professores e estudantes enfrentam para ensinar e aprender. A valorização da profissão docente ficou em evidência, sobretudo pelo reconhecimento de que as tecnologias tornam-se aliadas em situações de aulas remotas, mas não eliminam o protagonismo docente do processo educacional.

Published: May 2023

O povo Kaingang, disperso pelos estados do Sul e por São Paulo, faz parte do tronco linguístico Macro-Jê, junto com outras etnias do território nacional. Além disso, arqueólogos e antropólogos sugerem que esse povo também compartilha características com os grupos pré-históricos das tradições Taquara e Casa de Pedra. Com a complexidade histórica e territorial dos Kaingang, este trabalho tem o objetivo geral de oferecer uma visão ampla sobre aspectos desse povo, debatendo acerca das convergências e divergências com diferentes grupos humanos, bem como dentre as tradições pretéritas e aquelas que continuam presentes em seus territórios. Para desenvolver esta pesquisa, utilizou-se de literaturas pertinentes a cada tópico debatido, permeados pelas percepções das autoras em seu trabalho de campo junto a esse público. O diálogo entre áreas de pesquisa diversas, trouxe frescor às discussões, podendo estabelecer conexões e entender o panorama histórico e territorial dos Kaingang de maneira mais complexa, sobretudo aqueles do estado do Paraná. Ademais, foi possível debater acerca do papel fundamental dos territórios para as populações indígenas como local de reprodução cosmológica, cultural e religiosa desses povos.

Critical Materials - Global Outlook and Canadian Perspective
Authors: J Simandl George
Published: May 2023

Ongoing geopolitical tensions and armed conflicts are causing most governing bodies in the free world to become concerned with the availability of materials essential for the national security and economic well-being of populations within their jurisdictions. Overlapping with these concerns are commitments to combat climate change. Consequently, current critical material lists for these jurisdictions highlight materials that are at risk of supply disruption (or future shortage) and are essential for one or more of the following domains: national defense, economic health, and the fight against climate change. Battery, Magnet, and Photovoltaic (BM&P) materials are essential for all three of these domains. Therefore, projects involving these materials benefit from unprecedented interest from mineral producing and manufacturing industries, investors, the public, and governments. Technically and economically sound BM&P projects represent exceptional development opportunities.

Published: May 2023

Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (PKM) adalah satu diantara 3 unsur Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi yang wajib dilaksanakan oleh setiap dosen profesional aktif secara perorangan ataupun team.  Kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat kali ini dilaksanakan di Panti Asuhan GRATIA CHILDREN Medan dalam rangka pemberian motivasi dan pembelajaran Ilmu Geometri tentang Bentuk-bentuk Bangun Datar dan Bangun Ruang. Fakta di lapangan menunjukkan rendahnya pengetahuan anak-anak tentang pemahaman Ilmu Geometri yang berkaitan dengan kehidupan sehari-hari. Berdasarkan data yang telah dikumpulkan oleh Team Pelaksana dari lapangan hal ini terjadi karena semangat belajar si anak sangat rendah. Indikatornya adanya faktor psikologis seperti trauma karena datang dari keluarga broken home, miskin, atau yatim piatu. Namun beban psikologis sianak perlahan mulai dapat diatasi oleh pihak pengelola Panti Asuhan. Namun demikian masalah rendahnya pengetahuan kognitif pendidikan formalnya menjadi kajian tersendiri dan solusinya di bantu oleh Tim Pelaksana PKM Universitas Budi Darma Medan. Sebagai tindak lanjut Tim Pelaksana PKM berkomitmen untuk melanjutkan Tugas PKM ini secara berkesinambungan di tempat yang sama dengan materi yang berbeda sesuai dengan apa yang telah di programkan oleh kami dari Tim Pelaksana PKM. Karena kegiatan seperti ini kami maknai sebagai tindakan yang luhur dan amanah dari Tuhan Yang Maha Esa dalam membantu dan memberi solusi atas permasalahan yang sedang dihadapi oleh Panti Asuhan Gratia Children Medan. Mudah-mudahan apa yang telah kami perbuat ini dapat bermanfaat dalam meningkatkan motivasi atau semangat belajar serta menambah pengetahuan anak-anak menyongsong masa depan mereka yang cemerlang.

Students at Chandigarh University conducted an experiment to investigate the action of alginate lyase against plaque-forming Streptococcus mutans. In the experiment, students made two cultures. The first is a pure cultureofStreptococcusmutans,andthesecondisaplaquebiofilmcontainingallothermicroorganisms.Thenanother liquid culture of alphaproteobacteria is formed for the extraction of the alginate lyase enzyme. After the formation of bacterial cultures and the extraction of enzyme, a comparative study is done for the action of enzyme on culture A (S. mutans) and culture B (plaque biofilm). During the observations, students found that after the addition of alginate lyase to the system, S. mutans were unable to produce the polysaccharide matrix that made them the major bacteriumresponsibleforthedentalbiofilm,andincultureB,aslightdispersionofbiofilmwasseen.Biofilmcannot adhere to solid surfaces due to the action of alginate ligase.
