O corpo trans em galeria
Authors: Azevedo Marcos Paulo de , Braga Nayara Nicoly , Silva Francisco Vieira da
Published: December 2020

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar o modo como o dispositivo da transexualidade atua no processo de objetivação/subjetivação de sujeitos trans. Para tanto, tomamos como corpus de análise três textos publicados no perfil Galeria Trans (@galeriatrans), da rede social Instagram, o qual aborda temas como corpo e lutas da comunidade trans. Este trabalho alinha-se aos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da estudos discursivos foucaultianos, mais especificamente àqueles voltados para a investigação dos modos de constituição dos sujeitos em meio às relações de saber-poder. O movimento de análise revelou que o dispositivo da transexualidade atua na constituição dos sujeitos trans principalmente de duas maneiras: interditando o processo de transição de seus corpos ou regulando esse processo para que ocorra de acordo com um padrão heteronormativo. Diante disso, apontamos para a necessidade de estratégias de enfrentamento a tal dispositivo, a partir de uma atitude ética do sujeito trans, que deve buscar novas formas de subjetivação que se distanciem da matriz heterossexual.
Abundance of the Eastern Chukchi Sea Stock of Beluga Whales, 2012 – 17

Published: December 2020

Aerial line transect surveys were conducted during 19 July – 20 August in each of the years 2012 – 17, with onshore – offshore transects covering a study area of approximately 110 000 km2, from 140˚ W to 157˚ W longitude and from shore to 72˚ N latitude. These data were used to estimate abundance of the eastern Chukchi Sea (ECS) stock of beluga whales. The data were stratified based on bathymetry to reflect strong large-scale gradients in beluga density. A half-normal key function was used to model detection from a dataset of 999 sightings of 2465 belugas. The detection function was found to depend significantly on sky condition and ice coverage. For the years 2012 through 2017, respectively, the estimated numbers of ECS belugas in the study area during the study period were 7355 (CV = 0.17), 6813 (CV = 0.18), 16 598 (CV = 0.21), 6456 (CV = 0.21), 6965 (CV = 0.23) and 13 305 (CV = 0.27). There is no statistically significant trend. These estimates do not correct for belugas outside the study region. Indeed, diverse data indicate that belugas venture far outside the study region and their distribution varies interannually due to prey availability and other factors. Recently reviewed tagging data suggest that correcting for whales outside the study area would approximately double our abundance estimates. These results provide no indication that the stock has substantially declined during these six years due to the impact of subsistence hunting, industrial activity or climate change, although interannual variation and estimated CVs are both large, thereby potentially masking small-scale impacts.
Collaborative Teams for Self-Publishing: A model for creating locally-relevant educational books
Authors: McConnell Tom J. , Giorgio-Booher Barbara
Published: December 2020

Transforming education often means finding new curricular materials that are culturally relevant to local schools. If no such books are available, new materials need to be created to meet specific needs. Producing new high-quality materials may seem out of reach to educators who lack experience in illustration and publishing or have little access to commercial publishers.

We share a model used to develop a series of books called Conservation Tales in collaboration with university faculty students, and scientists. The model is presented as a way for local educators to create books to make education more relevant and accessible for children. The model leverages skills of artists, writers, and content experts to provide a rich learning experience for readers and an affordable option for self-publishing.

The model allowed a science educator to develop books for grades 3-5 with illustrations and photographs. University students were selected to developed images, create page layouts, and co-author the stories to suit the target audience. Collaborators also included scientists who reviewed content for accuracy and education students who developed learning activities included in the books.

This article describes the collaborative model with examples, and shares the process for self-publishing of print and digital books via online on-demand print services. We discuss sites that allow authors to create books with almost no overhead budget. We also share tips about the quality of graphics, software for creating files, and distributing your books.

Engramy ciała: poetyka notek bólowych zachowanych w archiwum Aleksandra Wata
Authors: Kmiecik Michalina
Published: December 2020

Artykuł skupia się na mikroanalizie jednej z rękopiśmiennych „notek bólowych” Aleksandra Wata (datowanej na 8 grudnia, zachowanej w archiwum pisarza w Beinecke Library). Rozważam zarówno kwestię jej genologicznego przyporządkowania, które – ze względu na fragmentaryczność, wyrywkowość, dziennikowość zapisu (a jednocześnie umieszczenie jej poza ustabilizowaną formą dziennika) – nie zmierza do włączenia jej w żadną większą całość. „Nieprzynależność” notki i innych analogicznych zapisów zdaje się kształtować ich swoistą poetykę. Posiłkując się rozpoznaniami poststrukturalnej genologii i teorią zbiorów rozmytych, proponuję uznać notkę za swoisty gatunek dryfujący, który istnieje w wielu kontekstach genologicznych jednocześnie, tworząc także własną, „pojedynczą” formę. Zainspirowana rozważaniami o cielesności Jean-Luca Nancy’ego oraz krytyką somatyczną Adama Dziadka, chciałabym określić ją mianem „engramu ciała”. Na przykładzie wyizolowanej „notki bólowej” zastanawiam się zatem nad możliwością użycia tej kategorii w kontekście zarówno rekonstruowania genetyki tekstu, jak i dokonywania przykładowej rytmoanalizy prozy.
Bez brudnopisu. Układanie Baczyńskiego
Authors: Tramer Maciej
Published: December 2020

Artykuł opowiada losy powojennej edycji wierszy Krzysztofa Kamila Baczyńskiego zatytułowanej Śpiew z pożogi (1947). Książka przygotowana przez Stefanię Baczyńską i Kazimierza Wykę w swoim układzie całkowicie odbiegała od pozostawionej tuż przed wybuchem powstania autoryzowanej wersji Śpiewu z pożogi, który miał być pierwszym oficjalnym debiutem poetyckim Baczyńskiego. W artykule rozważany jest wpływ późniejszej całościowej edycji Utworów zebranych i na recepcję poezji Baczyńskiego, i na ustalenie w świadomości literackiej wizerunku poety.
The Family Assistant’s Role in Supporting Families whose Parental Authority has been Limited
Authors: Rajewska de Mezer Joanna
Published: December 2020

With its specific way of functioning and network of interweaving interactions of various character and emotional intensity, the family is an environment where the process of a child’s socialization takes place, social personality develops and patterns of social roles are acquired. A family that malfunctions can trigger deviation mechanisms, thus considerably contributing to a child’s social maladjustment. Due to that, in case the criteria described by law are met, it is necessary to use specific assistance measures and interfere in a family’s autonomy, limit its parental authority and support it in fulfilling educational and socialization functions. Appointing a family assistant is one of the measures of limiting parental authority aimed at helping a family.
Całożyciowe uczenie się jako idea edukacyjna, polityka, strategie działań i zmieniający się krajobraz edukacyjny rzeczywistości
Authors: Solarczyk-Ambrozik Ewa
Published: December 2020

The idea of lifelong learning has appeared in 1920’s, situating on the background of the phenomena of adult education, which, since it emergence, have been a long way – as shall be defined – from the socialization of the masses to the empowerment of individuals, and the prospect of such changes is included into a peculiar continuum – between industrialization and urbanization, and the knowledge society. Nowadays the problem of lifelong learning goes far beyond the traditionally perceived adult education. Inscribing itself into the global educational discourse becomes its essential issue – it refers to the questions of educational possibilities and opportunities in the different socio-cultural contexts. It dominates the discussions on adult education, vocational training and higher education, providing a theoretical framework for the development of relevant policy and action strategies, but in addition it plays a crucial role in economic debates on labour market, quality, capacity, sustainable development, learning in organizations and – importantly – it also appears in non-education-related debates including such issues as: social exclusion, unemployment, environmental protection, active citizenship and health. The phenomenon of lifelong learning allows to respond to such conceptual categories as flexibility and uncertainty. As a result of technological advances, competition creates the need for flexibility which in case of learners is, in the one hand, recognised as emancipation, and in the other, as a threat to individuals enable to meet the new requirements associated with individual responsibility for the course of the educational path. Alongside opinions presenting anti-institutional interpretation of lifelong learning, the „supply” of an institutional offer of adult education is raised. The conclusions of the presented analyses results in showing lifelong learning as a phenomenon, which is not unambiguously evaluated, since it may by understood as a the purpose, a process, an effect, a form of self-realization, a socio-cultural constraint, and at least as an important field of educational reality in the word of new challenges.

Правительство Британии в рамках борьбы с пандемией коронавируса первоначально придерживалось концепции «коллективного иммунитета». Однако в середине апреля, когда стало известно, что официальная статистика заболеваемости сильно занижена, а последствия для экономики серьезны, оно активизировало свою деятельность. Состояние системы здравоохранения стало вопросом национальной безопасности. Тем не менее, Лондон не намерен принимать участие в совместных с ЕС мерах по борьбе с коронавирусной инфекцией и продлевать переговоры с Брюсселем о будущих отношениях.
Последствия пандемии для центральноевропейской политики и экономики
Authors: Shishelina Lyubov
Published: December 2020

В статье анализируются проблемы, возникшие в центральноевропейских странах на фоне борьбы с COVID-19. В большинстве случаев оппозиция не только подвергала критике меры, предпринимаемые правительствами, но и стремилась противодействовать им. Так произошло в Словакии, где не на пользу гражданам тормозились меры, намеченные еще предыдущим правительством. В Чехии оппозиция довела спор с министром здравоохранения до суда. В Польше жертвой пандемии стали выборы президента, когда правительство не смогло в отведенные сроки предложить внятного решения проблемы. В Венгрии на фоне критики жестких решений правительства, карантинные меры оказались гораздо либеральнее, чем в соседних странах. Тем не менее, в свете благоприятных показателей по заболеваемости вишеградские страны в начале мая объявили о начале выхода из карантина. Теперь, когда в принципе уже понятно, как бороться с возможным распространением вируса, внимание перенесено на меры по спасению экономик. Прогнозы Брюсселя неутешительны, население обеспокоено будущим, правительства дают щедрые обещания. Первые результаты должны быть заметны уже в третьем квартале этого года.

Published: December 2020

The ability to perceive and produce movements in the real world with precise timing is critical for survival in animals, including humans. However, research on sensorimotor timing has rarely considered the tight interrelation between perception, action, and cognition. In this review, we present new evidence from behavioral, computational, and neural studies in humans and nonhuman primates, suggesting a pivotal link between sensorimotor control and temporal processing, as well as describing new theoretical frameworks regarding timing in perception and action. We first discuss the link between movement coordination and interval-based timing by addressing how motor training develops accurate spatiotemporal patterns in behavior and influences the perception of temporal intervals. We then discuss how motor expertise results from establishing task-relevant neural manifolds in sensorimotor cortical areas and how the geometry and dynamics of these manifolds help reduce timing variability. We also highlight how neural dynamics in sensorimotor areas are involved in beat-based timing. These lines of research aim to extend our understanding of how timing arises from and contributes to perceptual-motor behaviors in complex environments to seamlessly interact with other cognitive processes.
Usporedba različitih pristupa Bouguer-ove redukcije na temelju satelitskih gravimetrijskih podataka

Published: December 2020

Satellite gravity data are widely used in the field of geophysics to study deep structures at the regional and global scales. These data comprise free-air gravity anomaly data, which usually need to be corrected to a Bouguer gravity anomaly for practical application. Bouguer reduction approaches can be divided into two methods based on the coordinate system: the spherical coordinates method (SBG) and the Cartesian coordinates method; the latter is further divided into the CEBG and CBG methods, which do and do not include the Earth’s curvature correction. In this paper, free-air gravity anomaly data from the eastern Tibetan Plateau and its adjacent areas were used as the basic data to compare the CBG, CEBG, and SBG Bouguer gravity correction methods. The comparison of these three Bouguer gravity correction methods shows that the effect of the Earth’s curvature on the gravitational effect increases with increasing elevation in the study area. We want to understand the inversion accuracy for the data obtained by different Bouguer gravity reduction approaches. The depth distributions of the Moho were obtained by the interface inversion of the Bouguer gravity anomalies obtained by the CBG, CEBG, and SBG, and active seismic profiles were used as references for comparison and evaluation. The results show that the depths of the Moho obtained by the SBG inversion are more consistent with the measured seismic profile depths. Therefore, the SBG method is recommended as the most realistic approach in the process of global or regional research employing gravity data.
Obtaining the Manning roughness with terrestrialremote sensing technique and flood modeling using FLO-2D
Authors: Demir Vahdettin , Keskin Asli Ülke
Published: December 2020

Determining the Manning roughness coefficients is one of the most important steps in flood modeling. The roughness coefficients cause differences in flood areas, water levels, and velocities in the process of modeling. This study aims to determine both the Manning roughness coefficient in the river sections and outside of the river regions by using the Cowan method and remote sensing technique in the flood modeling. In the flood modeling, FLO-2D Pro program which can simulate flood propagation in two dimensions was utilized. Mert River in Samsun province located in the northern part of Turkey was chosen as the study area. Samples taken from the river were subjected to sieve analysis, the types of constituent material were determined according to the median diameters and the roughness coefficients were obtained using the Cowan method. For regions outside of the river were applied the maximum likelihood method being one of the controlled classification methods. Manning roughness values were assigned the classified image sections. Remote sensing techniques were meticulously employed to achieve time management in areas outside the river and a new approach was proposed in the Manning assessment of flood areas to ensure uniformity in the study area. In the classification made using the maximum likelihood method, the overall classification accuracy was 92.9% and the kappa ratio “κ” was 90.64%. The results were calibrated with the last hazardous flood images in 2012 and HEC-RAS 2D program, another flood modeling program.

Introduction. The authors investigate the problem of developing programme-specific competencies in future primary school teachers using project methodology in the process of initial teacher education. The purpose of the study is to assess the level of project skills in future primary school teachers and analyze the obtained empirical data. Materials and Methods. The research was conducted using the method of psychological and educational experiment. The empirical data included students’ essays and questionnaires. The sample consisted of students of Karaganda university named after academician E. A. Buketov and Pavlodar pedagogical university. The obtained data were interpreted and subjected to statistical analysis using the Student's t-test. Results. The authors have developed criteria and indicators for evaluating future teachers’ project skills in order to experimentally interpret their project activities. The identification of students' priorities for the choice of certain types of project activities determined the validity of the questionnaire. Frequency and percentage analyses revealed the insufficient level of project skills in future primary school teachers related to the following components: (1) the motivational component of programme-specific competencies; (2) the cognitive component; (2) the reflexive component. Conclusions. The results of the research showed that students demonstrated a low level of project skills, which can significantly complicate the process of improving the quality of initial teacher training for a new type of primary schools.

A study of correlation between body size and social status of children and adoles-cents within a peer group (with the main focus on Russian schoolchildren)
Authors:   Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Burkova Valentina Nikolaevna
Published: December 2020

Introduction. Studies of correlation between body size and social status indicate that morphological parameters (height, weight, body mass index) have an impact on the popularity and unpopularity of children and adolescents among peers. However, the available research investigations are controversial and have a range of limitations. The drawbacks of previous studies include mixed samples and little attention to the ethnic factor in the analysis, while morphological and behavioral indicators in different ethnic groups can differ greatly. The purpose of this work is to study the correlation between body size (height, weight, body mass index) and social status of schoolchildren in a peer group (with the main focus on Russian schoolchildren). Materials and Methods. The research was conducted in Moscow (the Russian Federation). The sample consisted of 1077 schoolchildren (507 male and 570 female) aged between 10 and 18 years. At the first stage of the research, all students completed a demographic questionnaire (gender, age, and ethnicity). The sample included only schoolchildren who consider themselves Russian. For assessing social status, a rating scale method was used: each participant completed a rating-scale sociometric to index popularity within the class. Next, anthropometric measurements of each respondent were made - body length, body weight, followed by the calculation of the body mass index (BMI). Results. The data analysis revealed the relationship between morphological parameters (body size) and the social status of schoolchildren within the group. The data were obtained on a homogeneous sample of Russian schoolchildren. However, this relationship was significant only for adolescence and was determined by gender. In addition, the authors revealed that low social status is determined by both overweight and underweight. Conclusions. The results show that morphological indicators (height, weight, body mass index) affect the popularity and unpopularity of children and adolescents among peers. The findings enhance our understanding of the relationship between body size and social status and related problems of victimization and aggressive behavior in adolescent groups. Keywords Russian schoolchildren; Social status; Popularity; Victimization; Body size; Height; Weight; Body Mass Index.
Optimisasi Multi-objektif pada Rekonfigurasi Jaringan Distribusi Tenaga Listrik dengan Integrasi Pembangkit Terdistribusi Menggunakan Metode Sistem Kekebalan Buatan
Authors: Syahputra Ramadoni , Soesanti Indah
Published: December 2020

This study proposes a multi-objective optimization for power distribution network reconfiguration by integrating distributed generators using an artificial immune system (AIS) method. The most effective and inexpensive technique in reducing power losses in distribution networks is optimizing the network reconfiguration. On the other hand, small to medium scale renewable energy power plant applications are growing rapidly. These power plants are operated on-grid to a distribution network, known as distributed generation (DG). The presence of DG in this distribution network poses new challenges in distribution network operations. In this study, the distribution network optimization was carried out using the AIS method. In optimization, the goal to be achieved is not only one objective but should be multiple objectives. Multi-objective optimization aims to reduce power losses, improve the voltage profile, and maintain a maintained network load balance. The AIS method has the advantage of fast convergence and avoids local minima. To test the superiority of the AIS method, the distribution network optimization with and without DG integration was carried out for the 33-bus and 71-bus models of the IEEE standard distribution networks. The results show that the AIS method can produce better system operating conditions than before the optimization. The parameters for the success of the optimization are minimal active power losses, suitable voltage profiles, and maintained load balance. This optimization has successfully increased the efficiency of the distribution network by an average of 0.61%.

The base of the pyramid (BoP) is the lower-income segment of the population. It represents an important market that is often disregarded by companies as a source of economic benefit. For this reason, scholars have gained interest in this topic since the early 21st century. The main objective of this article is to identify research areas related to business in the BoP. A qualitative investigation was carried out by reviewing the business literature on the BoP. Sixty-seven articles related to the topic were reviewed. This literature review was conducted using the four-stage qualitative method, including : (1) data collection; (2) data coding; (3) data analysis; and (4) interpretation of results. The result of the review was the identification of 12 gaps that must be addressed to improve the understanding of the BoP businesses. A description of the articles selected for the review is presented.
Financial Performance, Exchange Rate, and Firm Value: The Indonesian Public Companies Case
Authors: Setiawanta Yulita , Utomo Dwiarso , Ghozali Imam , Jumanto Jumanto
Published: December 2020

Transactions between countries require a stable exchange rate. When the exchange rate of the country experiences uncertainty, then this will influence the company’s financial performance and even affect the company’s market value. This study aims to look for the direct influence of the company’s financial performance as an independent variable and the firm value as a dependent variable within the investor perspective, also including the exchange rate factor as a moderating variable. Investors could probably learn about information on the ups-and-downs of the Indonesian rupiah against foreign currencies before their investment decisions, even though financial performance substantially influences the company’s market value. The sample in this study was 50 companies within four years of observation. Data processing was carried out by the Eviews statistical application. The results showed that the financial performance, which is proxied by the capital structure, affects firm value, but not profitability. The impact of exchange rate moderation also occurs in the relationship of capital structure and firm value, while the moderation effect on profitability and firm value is not proven. This study provides information that exchange rates influence investment interests upon investors’ analysis of the financial performance of the capital structure, but not profitability.
A Family Affair: A Quantitative Analysis of Third-Generation Successors’ Intentions to Continue the Family Business

Published: December 2020

Family businesses face a succession crisis where only 13% survive until the third generation (Lee-Chua, 2014). While there is sufficient literature on family business succession planning , research on the motivations behind next-generation engagement in family firms, especially for third-generation successors, is limited (Garcia, Sharma, De Massis, Wright & Scholes, 2018). Thus, the present study tested Garcia et al. (2018)’s model where perceived parental support and psychological control predict next-generation engagement, with family business self-efficacy and commitment to family business mediating this relationship. 118 third-generation successors were surveyed using established and newly developed scales based on previous literature. Mediation analysis showed that normative commitment partially mediated verbal encouragement and next-generation engagement, while affective commitment fully mediated parental psychological control and next-generation engagement. Results were also compared against 124 second-generation successors, revealing that there were no significant differences between generations. Combining these two datasets led to a new conceptual framework, where normative commitment partially mediated verbal encouragement and next-generation intention, while affective commitment partially mediated parental psychological control and next-generation intention. The results of the study can contribute to the enrichment of family business literature, particularly on the factors that influence the intentions of third-generation successors, and to the creation of effective succession plans.

Published: December 2020

AbstractRecently, the Indonesian people have often been shocked by events that reflect radical attitudes and understandings. In October 2019, we witnessed that a state official was stabbed by an unknown person in the Menes square Purwaraja Pandeglang, Banten. In the following month, there was a suicide bombing at the Medan Police, North Sumatra. Both tragedies prove that radicalism which can lead to terrorism is a serious threat to the survival of the Indonesian nation in the future. This research focuses on the implementation of education in the al-Ashriyyah (Modern) Nurul Iman Parung Bogor Islamic boarding school. A pesantren in the Bogor area that is committed to grounding the teachings of Islam that is rahmatan lil'alamin, rejects acts of violence that characterize radicalism and terrorism, and commits counter-radicalism.AbstrakAkhir-akhir ini, bangsa Indonesia sering dikejutkan oleh peristiwa yang mencerminkan sikap dan paham radikal.

New media serves as the first gate of Tabligh, where the uses of graphics design and language are the main focus. Afterwards, non-media or face-to-face communication used as a continuation of da’wah through new media, is easier to build emotional relationships and persuasive youth here. Then, the psychodynamic strategy is the most strategies that can be applied both through new media and non-media.AbstrakFenomena hijrah menjadi tren di kalangan anak muda saat ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui strategi komunikasi persuasif Terang Jakarta, sebuah komunitas pemuda Islam, untuk mengajak pemuda berhijrah melalui media baru, non media, dan apa relevansinya dengan komunikasi persuasif Islam. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah tiga strategi komunikasi persuasif dapat diterapkan baik di media baru maupun non media. Media baru (media sosial) merupakan pintu gerbang pertama Tabligh, di mana penggunaan desain grafis dan bahasa menjadi fokus utamanya. Setelah itu, komunikasi non media atau komunikasi tatap muka yang digunakan sebagai kelanjutan dakwah melalui media baru, lebih mudah untuk membangun hubungan emosional dan persuasif remaja di sini. Kemudian, strategi psikodinamik merupakan strategi yang paling banyak diterapkan baik melalui media baru maupun non media.

AbstractReligious conflicts often occur due to the unfair implementation of religious preaching which tend to obtrude. This form of preaching clearly contradicts the nature of religion which demands peace, coexistence and respect for human rights. This research explores in depth the extent to which the da'i provide enlightenment to the community so that they can live side by side and in harmony with followers of other religions. Islam is a religion that carries out the mission of rahmatan lil 'alamin, so it must be an inspiration and a carriage in bringing a tolerant life for the universe. Therefore, in preaching, preachers must prioritize preaching that is tolerant and wise, so that Islam can be accepted in the midst of a plural society. This research uses descriptive method with qualitative data analysis. Abstrak Konflik keagamaan seringkali terjadi akibat pelaksanaan penyiaran agama yang tidak fair dan cenderung memaksakan kehendak dalam beragama. Bentuk dakwah ini, jelas bertentangan dengan fitrah agama yang menghendaki kedamaian, hidup berdampingan, mendapatkan penghormatan atas hak-hak asasi manusia. Penelitian ini menggali secara lebih mendalam tentang sejauhmana para da’i memberikan pencerahan kepada masyarakat agar dapat hidup berdampingan dan harmonis dengan penganut agama lain. Islam adalah agama yang mengemban misi dakwah rahmatan lil ‘alamin, sehingga harus menjadi inspirasi dan gerbong dalam menyongsong kehidupan yang toleran bagi semesta alam. Karena itu, di dalam berdakwah, da’i harus mengedepankan dakwah yang toleran dan  bijaksana, sehingga Islam dapat diterima di tengah-tengah masyarakat yang plural. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif dengan analisis data kualitatif.

THE RELATIONSHIP OF STUDENTS' UNDERSTANDING LEVEL OF ANIMAL MORPHOLOGY CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE ABILITY TO MEMORIZE ANIMAL LATIN NAMES IN GRADE 10 IPAAbstractAnimal taxonomy subjects often use animal's Latin names. Many students think that this subject is annoying because it is dominated by memorizing animal's Latin names, even though memorizing becomes a prerequisite for understanding. Meanwhile, most of the language materials memorized need an understanding before the memorizing process. This study aimed to find a relationship between the level of students' understanding of an animal's morphological characteristics and the ability to memorize animal's Latin names at the Xth grade of IPA students in SMAN 3 Jember. This study used a quantitative approach with a type of ex post facto. The test obtained the data. Then it was descriptively and inferentially analyzed by Kendall correlation. This research indicated that 56 students who answered test of the level of understanding animal's morphological characteristics and the ability to memorize animal's Latin names resulted in a correlation coefficient of score 0.673, and significance 0,000 < 0.05. Therefore, if the level of students’ understanding of an animal's morphological characteristics increased, the ability to memorize animal's Latin names at the Xth grade of IPA students in SMAN 3 Jember also increased, conversely. AbstrakNama latin hewan sering digunakan dalam materi taksonomi hewan. Banyak siswa beranggapan bahwa materi tersebut membosankan karena didominasi oleh menghafal nama latin hewan, padahal menghafal menjadi prasyarat pemahaman. Sementara itu, sebagian besar materi bahasa yang dihafal membutuhkan pemahaman sebelum proses menghafal berlangsung. Tujuan penelitian ini ialah mengetahui hubungan tingkat pemahaman karakteristik morfologi hewan dengan kemampuan menghafal nama latin hewan pada siswa kelas X IPA SMA Negeri 3 Jember. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan jenis eks post facto. Data didapatkan menggunakan instrumen tes. Kemudian dianalisis secara deskriptif dan inferensial menggunakan korelasi Kendall. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dari 56 siswa yang menjawab tes tingkat pemahaman karakteristik morfologi hewan dan kemampuan menghafal nama latin hewan menghasilkan koefisien korelasi 0,673 dan signifikansi 0,000 < 0,05. Dengan demikian, jika tingkat pemahaman karakteristik morfologi hewan meningkat, kemampuan menghafal nama latin hewan pada siswa kelas X IPA SMA Negeri 3 Jember juga meningkat, begitupula sebaliknya.

A simple and scalable method to generate spheroids from human mesenchymal stem cells for use in tissue engineering

Introduction: Tissue engineering is a field suited for applying stem cells, besides stem cell transplantation. In the current tissue engineering approaches, stem cells are typically seeded onto a suitable scaffold and induced into specific tissues under particular conditions. However, this strategy has faced some limitations, namely that stem cell proliferation on the scaffolds' surface has been inefficient to fill the porous scaffolds to produce solid tissues. Some limitations have been improved by using stem cell spheroids on the scaffold in place of single stem cells. This study aimed to evaluate a simple and feasible method to produce spheroids of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from adipose and umbilical cord tissues for use in tissue engineering.

Methods: MSCs from human adipose tissue (adipose-derived stem cells, i.e., ADSCs) and human umbilical cord tissues (umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells, i.e., UCMSCs) were isolated according to previously published protocols. To produce spheroids, ADSCs and UCMSCs were cultured in non-adherent V-bottom 96-well plate. Three cell densities were evaluated: 250 cells/well, 500 cells/well, and 1,000 cells/well. The generated spheroids were evaluated based on spheroid diameter, necrotic core formation (using propidium iodide (PI) and Hoechst 33342 staining), and spheroid structure (by Hematoxylin & Eosin staining).

Results: The results showed that at a density of 250 cells/well, spheroids were formed without necrotic cores from both ADSCs and UCMSCs. However, at a higher density, all spheroids had a necrotic core as part of the three zones (proliferating, quiescent, and necrotic zones).

Conclusion: Spheroids from ADSCs and UCMSCs can be easily produced by culturing 250 cells/well in a non-adherent V-bottom 96-well plate. This process can be scaled up by using the liquid handling robot system to load cells into the plates.
