El historiador y crítico de la arquitectura Siegfried Giedion planteaba que “la lenta formación de la vida cotidiana tene la misma importancia que las explosiones de la historia, puesto que en la vida anónima las partículas se acumulan en una fuerza explosiva. Utensilios y objetos son retoños de actitudes fundamentales para el mundo, y estas actitudes fijan el curso seguido por el pensamiento y la acción” (Giedion, 1978).

Translation, Cross-Cultural Adaptation, and Validation of the Malay Version of the System Usability Scale Questionnaire for the Assessment of Mobile Apps (Preprint)
Authors: Mohamad Marzuki Muhamad Fadhil , Yaacob Nor Azwany , Yaacob Najib Majdi
Published: March 2018

BACKGROUND

A mobile app is a programmed system designed to be used by a target user on a mobile device. The usability of such a system refers not only to the extent to which product can be used to achieve the task that it was designed for, but also its effectiveness and efficiency, as well as user satisfaction. The System Usability Scale is one of the most commonly used questionnaires used to assess the usability of a system. The original 10-item version of System Usability Scale was developed in English and thus needs to be adapted into local languages to assess the usability of a mobile apps developed in other languages.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study is to translate and validate (with cross-cultural adaptation) the English System Usability Scale questionnaire into Malay, the main language spoken in Malaysia. The development of a translated version will allow the usability of mobile apps to be assessed in Malay.

METHODS

Forward and backward translation of the questionnaire was conducted by groups of Malay native speakers who spoke English as their second language. The final version was obtained after reconciliation and cross-cultural adaptation. The content of the Malay System Usability Scale questionnaire for mobile apps was validated by 10 experts in mobile app development. The efficacy of the questionnaire was further probed by testing the face validity on 10 mobile phone users, followed by reliability testing involving 54 mobile phone users.

RESULTS

The content validity index was determined to be 0.91, indicating good relevancy of the 10 items used to assess the usability of a mobile app. Calculation of the face validity index resulted in a value of 0.94, therefore indicating that the questionnaire was easily understood by the users. Reliability testing showed a Cronbach alpha value of .85 (95% CI 0.79-0.91) indicating that the translated System Usability Scale questionnaire is a reliable tool for the assessment of usability of a mobile app.

CONCLUSIONS

The Malay System Usability Scale questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool to assess the usability of mobile app in Malaysia.

Authors: Bérubé Mélanie , Gélinas Céline , Feeley Nancy , Martorella Géraldine , Côté José , Laflamme G Yves , Rouleau Dominique M , Choinière Manon
Published: March 2018

BACKGROUND

A transition from acute to chronic pain frequently occurs after major lower extremity trauma. While the risk factors for developing chronic pain in this population have been extensively studied, research findings on interventions aiming to prevent chronic pain in the trauma context are scarce. Therefore, we developed a hybrid, Web-based and in-person, self-management intervention to prevent acute to chronic pain transition after major lower extremity trauma (iPACT-E-Trauma).

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of iPACT-E-Trauma.

METHODS

Using a descriptive design, the intervention was initiated at a supra-regional level-1 trauma center. Twenty-eight patients ≥18 years old with major lower extremity trauma, presenting with moderate to high pain intensity 24 hours post-injury were recruited. Feasibility assessment was two-fold: 1) whether the intervention components could be provided as planned to ≥80% of participants and 2) whether ≥80% of participants could complete the intervention. The rates for both these variables were calculated. The E-Health Acceptability Questionnaire and the Treatment Acceptability and Preference Questionnaire were used to assess acceptability. Mean scores were computed to determine the intervention’s acceptability.

RESULTS

More than 80% of participants received the session components relevant to their condition. However, the Web pages for session 2, on the analgesics prescribed, were accessed by 71% of participants. Most sessions were delivered according to the established timeline for ≥80% of participants. Session 3 and in-person coaching meetings had to be provider earlier for ≥35% of participants. Session duration was 30 minutes or less on average, as initially planned. More than 80% of participants attended sessions and <20% did not apply self-management behaviors relevant to their condition, with the exception of deep breathing relaxation exercises which was not applied by 40% of them. Web and in-person sessions were assessed as very acceptable (mean scores ≥3 on a 0 to 4 descriptive scale) across nearly all acceptability attributes.

CONCLUSIONS

Findings showed that the iPACT-E-Trauma intervention is feasible and was perceived as highly acceptable by participants. Further tailoring iPACT-E-Trauma to patient needs, providing more training time for relaxation techniques, and modifying the Web platform to improve its convenience could enhance the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention.

Authors: Irmawan Rano , Bhaskara Braghmandaru Adhi , Mumpuni Hasanah , Taufiq Nahar
Published: March 2018

Introduction: Diastolic dysfunction has been shown to be associated with an increase in mortality rates in both normal and decreased systolic function. In patients with hypertension, there is elongation of transmural repolarization dispersion in left ventricular, which will cause heart diastolic relaxation disorders. The elongation of the transmural repolarization dispersion is indicated by the increase of the TpTe interval. We conducted this study to fnd out whether the TpTe interval had a good diagnostic value in detecting diastolic dysfunction in patients with hypertension.Methods: This is an analytic observational research using cross sectional design on hypertensive patients in whom echocardiography was performed. The study conducted in February 2017 until March 2017 in Dr. Sarjito general hospital Yogyakarta. Electrocardiography examination was taken after the patient was performed echocardiography. The TpTe interval was calculated using the ‘tail’ method at lead V5. Diastolic dysfunction was established using echocardiographywith the ASE / EAE 2016 algorithm.Results: Of the 112 patients met the criteria of the study subjects. The cut-off value for TpTe was 103.97 m.s., based R.O.C curve analysis. TpTe interval ≥ 103.97 m.s. had a moderate diagnostic value for detecting diastolic dysfunction with 73% accuracy, 83% sensitivity, 64% specifcity, 22% positive predictive value, and 97% negative predictive value. There were 66 (58.9%) subjectswith TpTe interval <103.97 m.s. and 46 subjects (41.1%) with TpTe interval ≥103.97 m.s. There were 12 subjects (10.7%) with diastolic dysfunction. Bivariate and multivariate analyzes showed no demographic and clinical factors that independently affected the TpTe interval.Conclusion: The TpTe interval ≥ 103.97 m.s. had a moderate diagnostic value for detecting diastolic dysfunction in patients with hypertension
Association of Serious Fall Injuries among United States End Stage Kidney Disease Patients with Access to Kidney Transplantation
Authors: Plantinga Laura C. , Lynch Raymond J. , Patzer Rachel E. , Pastan Stephen O. , Bowling C. Barrett
Published: March 2018

Background and objectives

Serious fall injuries in the setting of ESKD may be associated with poor access to kidney transplant. We explored the burden of serious fall injuries among patients on dialysis and patients on the deceased donor waitlist and the associations of these fall injuries with waitlisting and transplantation.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

Our analytic cohorts for the outcomes of (1) waitlisting and (2) transplantation included United States adults ages 18–80 years old who (1) initiated dialysis (n=183,047) and (2) were waitlisted for the first time (n=37,752) in 2010–2013. Serious fall injuries were determined by diagnostic codes for falls plus injury (fracture, joint dislocation, or head trauma) in inpatient and emergency department claims; the first serious fall injury after cohort entry was included as a time-varying exposure. Follow-up ended at the specified outcome, death, or the last date of follow-up (September 30, 2014). We used multivariable Cox proportional hazards models to determine the independent associations between serious fall injury and waitlisting or transplantation.

Results

Overall, 2-year cumulative incidence of serious fall injury was 6% among patients on incident dialysis; with adjustment, patients who had serious fall injuries were 61% less likely to be waitlisted than patients who did not (hazard ratio, 0.39; 95% confidence interval, 0.35 to 0.44). Among incident waitlisted patients (4% 2-year cumulative incidence), those with serious fall injuries were 29% less likely than their counterparts to be subsequently transplanted (hazard ratio, 0.71; 95% confidence interval, 0.63 to 0.80).

Conclusions

Serious fall injuries among United States patients on dialysis are associated with substantially lower likelihood of waitlisting for and receipt of a kidney transplant.

Authors: Carlos Nara Lidiana Silva Dias , Neta Olívia Morais de Medeiros , Cavalcante Ilane Ferreira
Published: March 2018

Neste trabalho, busca-se analisar as ações do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte (RN) para implantação do sistema de ensino profissional de 2º grau entre as décadas de 1970 e 1990. Trata-se de um estudo de revisão bibliográfica e documental, no qual as fontes foram coletadas na Secretaria de Estado da Educação e da Cultura do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte. No processo de compreensão e investigação do objetivo de estudo, questiona-se: quais as ações produzidas pelo estado do Rio Grande do Norte para a implantação do ensino de 2° grau? Os resultados parciais da pesquisa indicam três categorias de escolas existentes no período: as criadas, as transformadas e as estadualizadas. Também se pode constatar que o estado do RN teve escolas de ensino de 2° grau em todas as suas quatro mesorregiões, assim como ainda se verifica que a distribuição dessas instituições de ensino não manteve um critério explicito ou inerte. O que se averigua é um maior número de escolas concentradas nas regiões mais urbanizadas e nas proximidades da capital do estado.

Authors: Catarino Elisângela Maura , Purificação Marcelo Máximo , Santana Maria Luzia Da Silva
Published: March 2018

Esta pesquisa problematiza a literatura como dispositivo para a expressão de crenças religiosas na escola, tendo o objetivo de verificar se as crenças se manifestam no contexto escolar quandoo estudante se depara com elementos da religiosidade nos textos literários. Para isso, foram realizadas observações numa turma do Terceiro Ano do Ensino Médio, que tinha vinte e nove estudantes frequentes, de uma escola pública localizada no entorno do Distrito Federal, no Estado de Goiás. Com fins de análise no presente texto, foram exploradas as falas de quatro estudantes, sendo um do sexo feminino e três do sexo masculino. Foi realizada observação in loco, das aulas da professora e das expressões dos estudantes durante o desenvolvimento do letramento literário, com as obras “Tenda dos Milagres” e “Tieta do Agreste”, ambas de Jorge Amado.  Foram registradas as falas dos estudantes e da professora relacionadas àstemáticas crenças e religiosidade.Os dados desta pesquisa reafirmaram a importância da literaturacomo um dispositivo que contribui para que o estudante-leitor construa diferentes olhares em torno da religiosidade. Ao trabalhar com os livros citados o professor não poderá perder de vista que o processo de ensino e aprendizagem é permeado por elementos da historicidade e da cultura do estudante que se constitui - enquanto pessoa - na sua relação com os elementos culturais e sociais. Devido a sociedade brasileira ter variadas matrizes religiosas, nas aulas podem vir à tona choques culturais ou conflitos religiosos. As crenças e diferentes religiosidades estão presentes no cotidiano da escola e têm implicações na leitura e interpretação das obras literárias. Este aspecto reafirma a ideia de que as crenças e a religiosidade não podem ser um tema ignorado, mas sim extensivamente trabalhado pelo professor como um elemento positivador da pluralidade cultural-religiosa existente no país.
The investigation of the function of the central courtyard in moderating the harsh environmental conditions of a hot and dry climate (Case study: City of Yazd, Iran)
Authors: Zarei Mohammad , Ashkezari Seyyed , Yari Mehrdad
Published: March 2018

As one of the arid areas of Iran, Yazd is always exposed to extreme winds
with dust and shifting sands. Therefore, the architectural principles in the
residential architecture of the city need be adapted to such environmental
conditions in order to minimize the influence of the severe winds on the
interior spaces. This study investigates the influence of storms on the
interior space of the central courtyards in Yazd, constructed during the
Muzaffarid, Safavid and Qajar periods using CFD simulation.
Three-dimensional models were prepared via Gambit software and studied in
Fluent software. The wind speed entering the computing field was equal to
26.4m/s and the Dutch wind nuisance standard NEN 8100 was applied as the
comfort criterion. The results showed a relationship between the extent of
the central courtyard and the impact of severe storms on it, since an
increase in the area of the courtyard provides enough space for the wind
flow and move around it. This feature reaches its climax if the length to
height proportion increases, as the wind brings the shifting sands into
large courtyards, therefore, the architects tried to provide better
conditions by creating microclimates.
Information Quality, Growth Options, and Average Future Stock Returns
Authors: Lyle Matthew R.
Published: March 2018

This study finds that the association between future stock returns and information quality depends on how option-like is the firm's equity. Firms that have more growth options are more option-like. The association between future stock returns and information quality is negative (positive) for those firms with equity that is least (most) option-like. These results are consistent with traditional asset pricing theory and are robust to numerous empirical specifications. Collectively, these findings offer a theoretically based and empirically supported explanation for why prior studies that do not condition on the option-like nature of equity have documented either a positive or no association between information quality and future average stock returns.
Double-blind Randomized Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Over-the-counter Tooth-whitening Agents Containing 2.9% Hydrogen Peroxide
Authors: Kim YM , Ha AN , Kim JW , Kim SJ
Published: March 2018

Objectives:

In this double-blind randomized study, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of over-the-counter (OTC) bleaching products that included 2.9% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) with two methods of application: strip and paint-on.

Methods and Materials:

A commonly used product was selected for each type (strip and paint-on) of OTC bleaching agent. In total, 75 volunteers were assigned randomly into five groups: two test groups (strip and paint-on), two negative control groups (products without H2O2), and one positive control group (dentist-supervised home bleaching). The tooth shade was evaluated with a spectrophotometer and Vita shade guide at baseline and 2 weeks and 4 weeks after use. To document any adverse reactions, such as hypersensitivity or tissue irritation, all patients were examined and the Gingival Index (GI), Plaque Index (PI), and a visual analog scale (VAS) measuring the cold response were obtained.

Results:

There were significant differences among the five groups (p<0.001). The positive control showed the greatest color changes; then, in decreasing order, the strip-type test group, paint-on-type test group, and negative controls. The strip-type bleaching agent was significantly more effective than the paint-on-type agent and the negative control, while it was significantly less effective than the dentist-supervised home bleaching. Regardless of the treatment group, the canines showed greater color changes than did the central or lateral incisors. Some cases of gingival irritation and hypersensitivity were observed, but they were mild and reversible. GI, PI, and VAS scores were not significantly changed.

Conclusions:

Within the limitations of this study, the results indicated that the strip-type and paint-on-type OTC bleaching agents were significantly less efficacious than was dentist-supervised home bleaching; however, they showed acceptable safety and efficacy. The strip-type was more effective than was the paint-on-type in this study.

Authors: Dwisaptarini AP , Suebnukarn S , Rhienmora P , Haddawy P , Koontongkaew S
Published: March 2018

This work presents the multilayered caries model with a visuo-tactile virtual reality simulator and a randomized controlled trial protocol to determine the effectiveness of the simulator in training for minimally invasive caries removal. A three-dimensional, multilayered caries model was reconstructed from 10 micro-computed tomography (CT) images of deeply carious extracted human teeth before and after caries removal. The full grey scale 0-255 yielded a median grey scale value of 0-9, 10-18, 19-25, 26-52, and 53-80 regarding dental pulp, infected carious dentin, affected carious dentin, normal dentin, and normal enamel, respectively. The simulator was connected to two haptic devices for a handpiece and mouth mirror. The visuo-tactile feedback during the operation varied depending on the grey scale. Sixth-year dental students underwent a pretraining assessment of caries removal on extracted teeth. The students were then randomly assigned to train on either the simulator (n=16) or conventional extracted teeth (n=16) for 3 days, after which the assessment was repeated. The posttraining performance of caries removal improved compared with pretraining in both groups (Wilcoxon, p<0.05). The equivalence test for proportional differences (two 1-sided t-tests) with a 0.2 margin confirmed that the participants in both groups had identical posttraining performance scores (95% CI=0.92, 1; p=0.00). In conclusion, training on the micro-CT multilayered caries model with the visuo-tactile virtual reality simulator and conventional extracted tooth had equivalent effects on improving performance of minimally invasive caries removal.
Hybrid coronary revascularization versus percutaneous strategies in left main stenosis: a propensity match study
Authors: Repossini Alberto , Di Bacco Lorenzo , Rosati Fabrizio , Tespili Maurizio , Saino Antonio , Ielasi Alfonso , Muneretto Claudio
Published: March 2018

Aims

Hybrid revascularization (HCR) has been recently proposed as an alternative strategy in multivessel coronary disease, particularly in patients with high SYNTAX scores and risk scores. The objective of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of HCR versus percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) drug-eluting stenting in left main treatment.

Methods

A series of 198 consecutive patients with left main stenosis have been treated. HCR, was performed in 77 patients (G1) whereas 121 patients (G2) received PCI on left main. An adjusted analysis using inverse probability weighting (IPW) was performed. Primary outcomes include: 30-day mortality, postoperative acute myocardial infarction, 18 months’ MACCEs: cardiac death, stroke, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), repeated target vessel revascularization (TVR).

Results

SYNTAX score was 29.5 ± 6.9 in G1 and 29.1 ± 6.5 in G2 (P = 0.529). In G2, three patients (2.7%) died because of cardiogenic shock; no deaths occurred in G1 (P = 0.603). No major complications were reported in G1 and there was no mortality at 18 months’ follow-up in both groups. Survival freedom from MACCEs at 18 months’ follow-up was significantly higher in G1 (G1: 93.3 ± 4.6% versus G2: 72.3 ± 6.3; P = 0.001) mostly because of the higher freedom from TVR (G1: 93.3 ± 4.6% versus G2: 75.5 ± 5.6; P = 0.002). At Cox regression analysis, PCI was an independent predictor of MACCEs and TVR (hazard ratio 3.9, CI 1.36–9.6; P = 0.027).

Conclusion

PCI in patients with left main and multivessel disease is a viable strategy, with a good outcome. HCR, demonstrated a lower incidence of cardiac adverse events such as AMI and TVR. Future comparative studies will be helpful to identify the optimal patient population for HCR.

Authors: Hung Ning-Hui
Published: March 2018

Indonesian Islamic music has its own performance occasion, musical function, music characteristic, and the style of musical performance. It has lyrics that represent direct relationship between Moslems and God in religion ceremonies. However, the musical structures are changed due to external stimulation coming along with the changes of Indonesian social structure during its development especially in 1975. Kasidah, a sort of Indonesian Islamic music, is the best exemplification to manifest the interaction between social development and music cultural changes, peculiarly performed by the music group of Qasidah Modern Nasida Ria in Semarang, Indonesia. The reason is that kasidah is more liberal than other Islamic music genres in Indonesia, especially on musical performance, usage on instruments, etc. This research sees “music” as a communication system of sound which passes through social usage and cultural contexts in Ethnomusicological perspective. The focus of discussion in on this group to explore some topics in order to comprehend the interaction between social structural development and the innovation of kasidah musical structure in Indonesia, such as the transmission and development of the group Qasidah Modern Nasida Ria, innovation of the group Qasidah Modern Nasida Ria and its music, and the musical function of modern kasidah. By which to understand the current development of kasidah in Indonesia, explore the concept and the role of the word „modern‟ plays in the development of modern kasidah, and point out the cultural syncretism and impact occured in the development of modern kasidah.

Persoalan Pelestarian Bahasa Ciacia: Refleksi atas Etika Diskursus
Authors: Nurrochsya Mikka Wildha
Published: March 2018

Ciacia language is the language used by the Ciacia community in SoutheastÂ Sulawesi. In August 2009, the Mayor of Baubau, Southeast Sulawesi, enacted policy toÂ adapt the Korean alphabet (Hangeul) into the Ciacian alphabet because the Ciacia languageÂ does not have its own script. This decision immediately caused controversy as some agreed and others disagreed. This paper has two objectives. First, it seeks to observe the diverse opinions surrounding the decision to adapt the Korean alphabet into the Ciacia alphabet. Secondly, the paper offers a reflection on the ethical discourse surrounding the adaptation of the Korean alphabet into the Ciacia alphabet. This study used case studies and took a qualitative approach. Results showed that there was not enough support given to the public to encourage practical discourse and offer a no-pressure environment. Support was neither given within the Ciacia community in Baubau nor outside Baubau to strengthen Ciacia language and culture. This study concluded that those who agree with the adaptationÂ are likely to understand it as serving an instrumental function in furthering economic and political interests. Meanwhile, those who oppose the adaptation are more concerned with culture preservation. Proper discourse has not taken place in regards to this issue. Thus, the debate continues to be unresolved.ABSTRAKÂ Bahasa Ciacia merupakan bahasa yang digunakan oleh masyarakat Ciacia di Sulawesi Tenggara. Walikota Baubau, Sulawesi Tenggara pada Agustus 2009 memutuskan kebijakan mengadaptasi aksara Korea (Hangeul) menjadi aksara Ciacia karena Bahasa Ciacia tidak mempunyai aksara sendiri. Keputusan ini menimbulkan reaksi baik pro maupun kontra. Tulisan ini mempunyai dua tujuan Pertama, ingin mengetahui pendapat-pendapat tentang kasus adaptasi aksara Korea menjadi aksara Ciacia. Kedua, ingin mengetahui implementasi etika diskursus untuk menyelesaikan kasus adaptasi aksara Korea menjadi aksara Ciacia. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa kasus adaptasi ini kurang memberikan ruang publik untuk diskursus praktis dalam suasana saling pengertian dan bebas dari tekanan, baik dalam masyarakat Ciacia di wilayah Kota Baubau maupun masyarakat Ciacia di luar Kota Baubau sebagai pendukung bahasa dan budaya masyarakat Ciacia. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa pihak yang pro adaptasi lebih cenderung berorientasi pada rasionalitas instrumental yakni kepentingan ekonomis dan politis, sedangkan pihak yang kontra berorientasi pada pelestarian budaya. Dalam kasus adaptasi ini belum diterapkan etika diskursus secara memadai sehingga tetap menjadi perdebatan yang tak terselesaikan.

Authors: Lewis Cara L. , Loverro Kari L. , Khuu Anne
Published: March 2018

Study Design

Controlled laboratory study, case-control design.

Background

Despite recognition that femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is a movement-related disorder, few studies have examined dynamic unilateral tasks in individuals with FAIS.

Objectives

To determine whether movements of the pelvis and lower extremities in individuals with FAIS differ from those in individuals without hip pain during a single-leg step-down, and to analyze kinematic differences between male and female participants within groups.

Methods

Individuals with FAIS and individuals without hip pain performed a single-leg step-down while kinematic data were collected. Kinematics were evaluated at 60° of knee flexion. A linear regression analysis assessed the main effects of group, sex, and side, and the interaction of sex by group.

Results

Twenty individuals with FAIS and 40 individuals without hip pain participated. Individuals with FAIS performed the step-down with greater hip flexion (4.9°; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.5°, 9.2°) and anterior pelvic tilt (4.1°; 95% CI: 0.9°, 7.3°) than individuals without hip pain. Across groups, female participants performed the task with more hip flexion (6.1°; 95% CI: 1.7°, 10.4°), hip adduction (4.8°; 95% CI: 2.2°, 7.4°), anterior pelvic tilt (5.8°; 95% CI: 2.6°, 9.0°), pelvic drop (1.4°; 95% CI: 0.3°, 2.5°), and thigh adduction (2.7°; 95% CI: 1.3°, 4.2°) than male participants.

Conclusion

The results of this study suggest that individuals with FAIS have alterations in pelvic motion during a dynamic unilateral task. The noted altered movement patterns in the FAIS group may contribute to the development of hip pain and may be due to impairments that are modifiable through rehabilitation.

Wajah buram kini tengah menghiasi dunia pendidikan yang ditandai dengan maraknya sikap dan perilaku siswa yang tidak mencerminkan karakter siswa, seperti tawuran pelajar, dekadensi moral, kurang jujur. Disamping itu masih banyak guru belum optimal melakukan tugas dan fungsinya. Maka dari itu pendidikan memegang peran penting dalam membentuk karakter siswa. Pendidikan karakter merupakan upaya untuk membentuk manusia yang bermoral, beretika dan berakhlak dan cerdas tumbuh dan berkembang sesuai dengan nilai-nilai luhur bangsa dan agama. Untuk itu peran guru sebagai pendidik dengan penuh pengabdian akan menentukan keberhasilan pendidikan karakter. Salah satu upaya untuk membentuk karakter siswa adalah melalui pembelajaran kontekstual. Pembelajaran kontekstual adalah konsep belajar yang membantu guru mengaitkan antara materi yang diajarkan dengan situasi dunia nyata siswa dan mendorong membuat hubungan antara pengetahuan yang dimikinya dengan penerapannya dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dengan melibatkan tujuh komponen utama pembelajaran kontekstual yaitu konstruktivisme, bertanya, inkuiri, masyarakat belajar, permodelan, penilaian autentik.

Era reformasi dan demokrasi kini tengah melanda kehidupan bermasyarakat, berbangsa dan
bernegara, namun belum juga menemukan format pada kedewasaan demokrasi atau masyarakat
yang demokratis, bahkan seringkali muncul sikap dan perilaku yang menyimpang dari norma
tatanan masyarakat demokratis. Untuk menjadi masyarakat yang demokratis diperlukan berbagai
upaya diantaranya melalaui pendidikan kewarganegaraan.
Tujuan pendidikan kewarganegaraan adalah untuk membentuk warga negara yang demokratis,
berkeadaban, cerdas, bertanggungjawab bagi kelangsungan hidup bangsa dan negaranya
Keberhasilan demokrasi ditunjukkan oleh sejauh mana demokrasi sebagai prinsip hidup bersama
antar warga negara dan antara warga negara dengan negara dijalankan dan disepakati.
Menjadi demokratis diperlukan norma sebagai rujukan tatanan masyarakat yang demokratis.
Diantaranya kesadaran akan pluralisme,

Dalam penyelenggaraan hajatan masyarakat Desa Sirapan kerap muncul gangguan atau kegaduhan yang dilakukan oleh orang tertentu yang tidak bertanggungjawab, membuat masyarakat ketika menyelenggarakan hajatan merasa tidak nyaman, tidak tentram, dan tidak damai. Serta dari keonaran atau kisruh tersebut juga menimbulkan kerugian yang harus ditanggung penyelenggara hajatan. Dengan adanya tindakan tersebut, maka kepala desa dan BPD membuat peraturan desa.
Untuk mewujudkannya semua elemen desa haruslah ikut berpartisipasi agar ketertiban yang diharapkan pada penyelenggaraan hajatan terwujud dan terlaksana dengan baik, yang mana aturannya terdapat pada Peraturan Desa nomor 3 tahun 2009 tentang ketertiban penyelenggaran hajatan.
Peneliti dalam penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Penelitian akan dilakukan di lapangan (Field research) yang bersifat deskriptif kualitatif. Peraturan Desa Nomor 3 Tahun 2009 khususnya mengenai ketertiban penyelenggaraan hajatan telah di laksanaakan sesuai aturan sehingga tidak mengganggu ketertiban di dalam penyelenggaraan hajatan yang diadakan masyarakat Desa Sirapan.Hal ini dapat dibuktikan, bahwa setiap di laksanakannya penyelenggaraan hajatan di Desa Sirapan selalu berjalan dengan lancar dan tidak menimbulkan keributan-keributan yang dapat mengganggu ketenangan masyarakat Desa Sirapan saat menyelenggarakan hajatan. Sehingga, penyelenggaraan hajatan dapat berjalan dengan baik, tertib, lancar, dan aman serta keadaan menjadi kondusif dan terkendali. Ini disebabkan karena adanya kesadaran dan peran aktif masyarakat dalam pelaksanaan Peraturan Desa Nomor 3 tahun 2009 khususnya mengenai ketertiban penyelenggaraan hajatan dan kerjasama yang baik antara masyarakat Desa Sirapan dengan perangkat desa. Dengan demikian, tujuan dari ketertiban yakni terwujudnya rasa aman, tidak ada sengketa maupun tidak ada konflik dapat terwujud dan terlaksana dengan baik.
