IDENTIFYING SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE THROUGH REMOTE SENSING. Sea surface temperature is one of the physical parameters of oceanography that is useful to determine the water quality. Sea surface temperature can be observed using remote sensing technology. Remote sensing sensors must have a thermal infrared or a passive microwave to identify sea surface temperature. NASA's Ocean Color Web has provided sea surface temperature data processed by NASA's Ocean Biology Processing Group (OBPG) team. MODIS and VIIRS are remote sensing instruments used for sea surface temperature data on NASA's Ocean Color Web. The SST data provided in the form of data level 2 and level 3 are processed in daily, weekly, monthly and even yearly.

APPLICATION AND EFFECTIVITY OF BIOREMEDIATION TECHNIQUE FOR OIL CONTAMINATED COASTAL WATERS. Oil pollution is often occurs in Indonesian marine waters and it has a significant impact on ecological and economical aspects. Physical and chemical approaches are common to be used to combat this pollution. Bioremediation is a promising method using biological approach that not been used yet for oil spill clean up in Indonesian coastal environment. The success stories were reported mostly from sub-tropic region. This technique is potential to be used in Indonesian due to tropical climates and enormous microbial resources in Indonesian marine waters. However, intensive research and field test are still needed to develop an appropriate method for application in Indonesia. One of bioremediation technique limitations is the suitability for each polluted sites. This paper will discuss about the application and the affectivity of bioremediation technique in other countries and research development of this technique for coastal environment in Indonesia.

EU external relations law and Brexit: ‘When Pluto was a planet’
Authors: Larik Joris
Published: March 2020

‘When I was your age, Pluto was a planet’ was a popular joke after the celestial body’s reclassification as a ‘dwarf planet’. In many ways, the story of Pluto is an appropriate metaphor for the United Kingdom after Brexit. Just as textbooks on astronomy had to be updated to reflect Pluto’s changed status, legal scholarship needs to adapt to the fact that the UK is relegating itself into the outer orbits of the European system of integration and cooperation, yet remains unable to break free from the centre’s gravitational pull. Crucially, the UK has become an object of EU external action, rather than a subject that can manipulate the levers from the inside. This change is also of particular significance for the scholarship of EU external relations. Highlighting, organising, and explaining the changes that Brexit causes for the field and with a view to charting its way forward, this article argues that the UK’s withdrawal will contribute to the further normalisation of EU external relations law as a field of scholarship. Following a brief explanation of why EU external relations law is a doubly peculiar area of scholarship and an overview of the origins and development of EU external relations law as a field, the article elaborates on three main consequences of Brexit for EU external relations law research and explains how each contributes to normalisation: disposing of the most ‘awkward member’, boosting reforms for greater effectiveness, and infusing a sense of geopolitical realism.

Mystified Consciousness
Authors: Merrifield Andy
Published: March 2020

The great French Marxist Henri Lefebvre authored sixty-eight books, since translated into thirty languages, making brilliant analyses on dialectics and alienation, everyday life and urbanism, ecology and citizenship. Yet, his La conscience mystifiée(Mystified Consciousness), published in 1936, has seemingly been forgotten in every language, largely ignored everywhere. Though it may well be his most enduring political tract, it was his most prescient thesis for understanding the human condition in the twenty-first century.

The story is constructed in the convention of courtly love, and the author draws abundantly from a range of plot motifs preserved in the ancient literary tradition. The article discusses the way of intertextual use of Ovid’s Heroides 5 in the course of events told in Book One of the poem.
LC-MS/MS analysis of plasma glucosylsphingosine as a biomarker for diagnosis and follow-up monitoring in Gaucher disease in the Spanish population
Authors: Irún Pilar , Cebolla Jorge J. , López de Frutos Laura , De Castro-Orós Isabel , Roca-Espiau Mercedes , Giraldo Pilar
Published: March 2020

Background

Gaucher disease (GD), caused by a deficiency in acid β-glucosidase, leads to the accumulation of glucosylsphingosine (GluSph), which has been used as a powerful biomarker for the diagnosis and follow-up of GD. Our aim was to perform the first retrospective study of GluSph in Spanish patients, analyzing its relationship with classical biomarkers and other parameters of disease and its utility regarding treatment monitoring.

Methods

Classical biomarkers were evaluated retrospectively by standard methods in a total of 145 subjects, including 47 GD patients, carriers, healthy controls and patients suffering from other lysosomal lipidoses. GluSph was also measured using a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method developed as part of the present study.

Results

The optimized method presented intra- and inter-assay variations of 3.1 and 11.5%, respectively, overall recovery higher than 96% and linearity up to plasma concentrations of 1000 ng/mL with 100% specificity and sensitivity. Only GD patients displayed GluSph levels above 5.4 ng/mL at diagnosis and this was significantly correlated with the classical biomarkers chitotriosidase (r = 0.560) and the chemokine CCL18/PARC (CCL18/PARC) (ρ = 0.515), as well as with the Spanish magnetic resonance imaging index (S-MRI, r = 0.364), whereas chitotriosidase correlated with liver volume (r = 0.372) and CCL18/PARC increased in patients with bone manifestations (p = 0.005). GluSph levels decreased with treatment in naïve patients.

Conclusions

Plasma GluSph is the most disease-specific biomarker for GD with demonstrated diagnostic value and responsiveness to therapy. GluSph in the present series of patients failed to demonstrate better correlations with clinical characteristics at onset than classical biomarkers.
On divergence-based author obfuscation: An attack on the state of the art in statistical authorship verification
Authors: Bevendorff Janek , Wenzel Tobias , Potthast Martin , Hagen Matthias , Stein Benno
Published: March 2020

Authorship verification is the task of determining whether two texts were written by the same author based on a writing style analysis. Author obfuscation is the adversarial task of preventing a successful verification by altering a text’s style so that it does not resemble that of its original author anymore. This paper introduces new algorithms for both tasks and reports on a comprehensive evaluation to ascertain the merits of the state of the art in authorship verification to withstand obfuscation.

After introducing a new generalization of the well-known unmasking algorithm for short texts, thus completing our collection of state-of-the-art algorithms for verification, we introduce an approach that (1) models writing style difference as the Jensen-Shannon distance between the character n-gram distributions of texts, and (2) manipulates an author’s writing style in a sophisticated manner using heuristic search. For obfuscation, we explore the huge space of textual variants in order to find a paraphrased version of the to-be-obfuscated text that has a sufficiently high Jensen-Shannon distance at minimal costs in terms of text quality loss. We analyze, quantify, and illustrate the rationale of this approach, define paraphrasing operators, derive text length-invariant thresholds for termination, and develop an effective obfuscation framework. Our authorship obfuscation approach defeats the presented state-of-the-art verification approaches, while keeping text changes at a minimum. As a final contribution, we discuss and experimentally evaluate a reverse obfuscation attack against our obfuscation approach as well as possible remedies.

The latest developments in algebra and graph theory allow us to ask a natural question, what is the application in real world of this graph associated with some mathematical system? Groups can be used to construct new non-associative algebraic structures, loops. Graph theory plays an important role in various fields through edge labeling. In this paper, we shall discuss some applications of bipartite graphs, related with Latin squares of Wilson loops, such as metabolic pathways, chemical reaction networks, routing and wavelength assignment problem, missile guidance, astronomy and x-ray crystallography.
Kourotrophia and “Mothering” Figures: Conceiving and Raising an Infant as a Collective Process in the Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Worlds. Some Religious Evidences in Narratives and Art
Authors: Pedrucci Giulia
Published: March 2020

The paper deals with significantly different sources and historical periods: the parts dedicated to breastfeeding are based on votive statuettes of adults with infant/s from ancient Latium and Southern Etruria; the ones on pregnancy and childbirth are based on two archeological sources – one from Southern Etruria and one from Imperial Rome – which show the male (divine) appropriation of exclusively female biological functions; The parts on mothering are based on the concept of “mothering figures” (male mothering, animal mothering…) through mythological examples from Greek, Etruscan, and Roman art and narratives. Despite the heterogeneous documentation, we may conclude that the mother was not the only active character in the process of conceiving, giving birth, breastfeeding, and raising an infant in the Greek, Etruscan, and Roman societies. Many other figures close to the mother – male and female – were engaged in obtaining divine protection for her and her child; in helping, supporting, and even substituting her when necessary (and, of course, when possible). The research has been conducted mainly by using the concept of kourotrophia and mothering figures as analytical tools.

Differential Effects of Awareness and Task Relevance on Early and Late ERPs in a No-Report Visual Oddball Paradigm
Authors: Schlossmacher Insa , Dellert Torge , Pitts Michael , Bruchmann Maximilian , Straube Thomas
Published: March 2020

To date it is poorly understood how and when deviance processing interacts with awareness and task relevance. Furthermore, an important issue in the study of consciousness is the prevalent confound of conscious perception with the requirement of reporting it. This study addresses these topics using a no-report inattentional blindness paradigm with a visual oddball sequence of geometrical shapes presented to male and female human participants. Electrophysiological responses were obtained in three physically identical Phases A–C that differed only with respect to the instructions: (A) participants were uninformed about the shapes and attended an unrelated foreground task (inattentional blind), (B) were informed about the shapes but still attended the foreground task, and (C) attended the shapes. Conscious processing of shapes was indexed by the visual awareness negativity but not a P3. Deviance processing was associated with the visual mismatch negativity independently of consciousness and task relevance. The oddball P3, however, only emerged when the stimuli were task relevant, and was absent for consciously perceived but task irrelevant stimuli. The P3 thus does not represent a reliable marker of stimulus awareness. This result pattern supports the view of hierarchical predictive processing, where lower levels display automatic deviance processing, whereas higher levels require attention and task relevance.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTTo react to potentially important changes in our environment it is fundamental to detect deviations from regularities of sensory input. It has yet to be understood how awareness and task relevance of this input interact with deviance processing. We investigated the role of awareness in deviance detection while at the same time circumventing the confound of awareness and report by means of a no-report paradigm. Our results suggest that early processes are elicited automatically, whereas, contrary to prominent theories, late processes do not depend on awareness but on task-based attention.
Activity Dependent and Independent Determinants of Synaptic Size Diversity
Authors: Hazan Liran , Ziv Noam E.
Published: March 2020

The extraordinary diversity of excitatory synapse sizes is commonly attributed to activity-dependent processes that drive synaptic growth and diminution. Recent studies also point to activity-independent size fluctuations, possibly driven by innate synaptic molecule dynamics, as important generators of size diversity. To examine the contributions of activity-dependent and independent processes to excitatory synapse size diversity, we studied glutamatergic synapse size dynamics and diversification in cultured rat cortical neurons (both sexes), silenced from plating. We found that in networks with no history of activity whatsoever, synaptic size diversity was no less extensive than that observed in spontaneously active networks. Synapses in silenced networks were larger, size distributions were broader, yet these were rightward-skewed and similar in shape when scaled by mean synaptic size. Silencing reduced the magnitude of size fluctuations and weakened constraints on size distributions, yet these were sufficient to explain synaptic size diversity in silenced networks. Model-based exploration followed by experimental testing indicated that silencing-associated changes in innate molecular dynamics and fluctuation characteristics might negatively impact synaptic persistence, resulting in reduced synaptic numbers. This, in turn, would increase synaptic molecule availability, promote synaptic enlargement, and ultimately alter fluctuation characteristics. These findings suggest that activity-independent size fluctuations are sufficient to fully diversify glutamatergic synaptic sizes, with activity-dependent processes primarily setting the scale rather than the shape of size distributions. Moreover, they point to reciprocal relationships between synaptic size fluctuations, size distributions, and synaptic numbers mediated by the innate dynamics of synaptic molecules as they move in, out, and between synapses.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTSizes of glutamatergic synapses vary tremendously, even when formed on the same neuron. This diversity is commonly thought to reflect the outcome of activity-dependent forms of synaptic plasticity, yet activity-independent processes might also play some part. Here we show that in neurons with no history of activity whatsoever, synaptic sizes are no less diverse. We show that this diversity is the product of activity-independent size fluctuations, which are sufficient to generate a full repertoire of synaptic sizes at correct proportions. By combining modeling and experimentation we expose reciprocal relationships between size fluctuations, synaptic sizes and synaptic counts, and show how these phenomena might be connected through the dynamics of synaptic molecules as they move in, out, and between synapses.

MODELS BASED ON CONFORMAL PREDICTORS FOR DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS IN MEDICINE
Authors: Ruvinskaya Victoria M. , Shevchuk Igor , Michaluk Nikolai
Published: March 2020

A disadvantage of many diagnostic systems is the inability to sufficiently assess the decisions reliability. While solving the problem of classification, each example may be classified with different degree of quality. So, a measure of the quality of an example classification was used (a non-conformity measure). The goal of the research is to improve evaluation of the diagnostics reliability in medicine based on conformal predictorswhich allow carrying out a probabilistic classification, as well as identifying abnormal cases when either the classifier is unable to determine the class for a particular object, or assigns one object to several classes at once. The paper describes the constructing and testing of various probabilistic binary classification models based on machine learning,particu-larly, the SVM method and conformal predictors using a non-conformity measure. For learning and testing the medicine Breast Can-cer Wisconsin (Diagnostic) Data Set was used to construct linear, polynomial of different degrees and RBF models. We assessedthe prediction results for every example from the test set as well as the integral characteristics of the quality of the models, taking into account both the correctness of the predictions for each class and the number of different types of anomalies. On the basis of the best selected models (linear, polynomial model of the 2nd degree and RBF), we developed an intelligent diagnostic system in medicine, which allows automating the model’s construction, as well as carrying out the diagnostics and displaying the confidence of the re-ceived diagnosis or a message about the impossibility of making a diagnosis.The program also allows multiple doctors to log in to the system, adding new patients and editing information about them; every patient has their medical record with the results of the examination and the diagnoses given. The results of the research can be applied in the diagnostic systems for various diseases. This can be done by using the data with the symptoms and the corresponding diagnoses and constructing the appropriate models on this basis.

Published: March 2020

The widespread use of current transformers both in relay protection systems and for measuring purposes makes the task of estimating their errors quite urgent. The permissible error levels of modern measuring current transformers should not exceed a fraction of a percent. Moreover, the errors of multi-range current transformers with incomplete filling of the magnetic circuit with secondary windings are determined distribution of the magnetic field in the magnetic system, depending on the scattering fluxes of the windings. The analysis of the capabilities of various software products that implement the finite element method for the calculation of electromagnetic systems. It has been established that, to the greatest extent, for the study of the magnetic field of current transformers by users without special training, is the FEMM software package. Using this program, we studied the distribution of the magnetic field of the current transformer when the magnetic system is not completely filled with turns of the secondary winding and with a different arrangement of the return wire of the multi-turn primary winding relative to the secondary winding for a current transformer with a toroidal magnetic system. For a transformer with a rectangular magnetic system, a magnetic field is simulated for one and two secondary coils. The characteristics of the distribution of the magnetic field in the magnetic system and the normal component of the scattering field of the transformer have been obtained. The diagrams of the magnetic field vectors are constructed for different sections of the transformer magnetic system. It is shown that when the magnetic system is incompletely filled with turns of the secondary winding, a significant uneven distribution of magnetic induction along the magnetic circuit occurs, which leads to an increase in the error of the current transformer. Studies have shown the effectiveness of the finite element method for modeling magnetic fields and error estimation of current transformers. The FEMM software environment used for research is a universal and accurate information technology for calculating current transformers, convenient for users without special training.

The architectural implementation of a machine learning system for identifying a robot on a web resource by behavioral factors is considered. The article discusses how to build software architecture for a machine learning system whose task is to determine the behavior of anonymous users. Behavioral factors for identification are a set of factors describing various components, each of which may be characteristic of the behavior of the robot. Weka software provides a mechanism for training on designed data models describing human and robot behavior. The learning algorithm – the “method of nearest neighbours”, provides the construction of images based on the largest number of combinations of factors that describe one of the models. Data models for training are stored in a file on the hard disk in the form of matrices of feature descriptions of each of the types of behaviors. The article discusses software and algorithmic solutions that will help solve the problems of combating fraudulent clicks, spam and distributed multi-session attacks on the server, as well as reducing the level of confidence in the website for search engines. The article discusses software and algorithmic solutions that will help solve the problems of fighting click fraud, spam and DDOS attacks, as well as reducing the level of trust of a web site for search engines. Because a large number of illiquid and malicious traffic reduces search positions and reduces the TIC (thematic citation index) and PR (page rank) of the site, which reduces the profitability of the web resource. A large number of illiquid and malicious traffic reduces search positions and reduces the thematic citation index and search ranking of site pages, which leads to a decrease in the profitability of a web resource. The results of this article are the proposed behavior analysis system, a description of the technical implementation shell and a system training model. The statistics for comparing malicious traffic after connecting the system to a web site are also given. The implementation language was selected as Java. Using this system possibly allows cross-platform integration of the system, both on Linux and Windows. Data collection from the site, to determine the role of the user, is carried out using JavaScript modules located on the web resource. All data collection algorithms and user information storage periods are implemented within the framework of the European Data Protection Regulation. The system also provides complete anonymity to the user. Identification is carried out exclusively using fingerprint tags.
EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION SUPPORT

Published: March 2020

The paper shows that the educational process in a university is a purposeful sequence of pedagogical operations which is determined, directed and ensured by the accompanying informational support of educational tasks. Information technolo-gies of stationary, correspondence and distance learning are the basis for building the structure and content of both specific academ-ic disciplines and individual specialties. The literature analysis on the issues of philosophy and theory of education in universities has shown that improving the quality of education and the development of its new forms is a steady trend of recent times. To some extent, this is confirmed by the emergence of appropriate structures at the local (departments for ensuring the quality of education at universities) and state (the National Agency for Quality Assurance in Higher Education) levels. We have witnessed the Bologna edu-cation system with its corresponding pros and cons. We are currently facing a new challenge associated with a paradigm shift in education. The essence of the new education paradigm is to replace the knowledge-based approach with the so-called competency-based approach. The paper proposes a new "technological" approach to the strategy and tactics of the higher education pedagogical system development (within the framework of the well-known trend of "sustainable development"), in accordance with which such new concepts as the pedagogical system, pedagogical operations and their components are introduced, which together predeter-mines the methodology for constructing curriculum programs and teaching technology. It is shown that the curriculum of the aca-demic discipline (course) is complex hierarchical systems, the elements of which are at different levels of subordination (in accord-ance with the goal tree) and depend on the individual initial training of students. Moreover, the methodology for constructing a hier-archical academic discipline also determines the method of its assessment in quality control of both the academic discipline (course) and the specialized educational department in which this discipline (course) is created. The features of recently adopted student-centered (student-oriented) education technology are reflected, in accordance with which the share of selective disciplines (courses) is increased, and traditional academic programs ofdisciplines (courses) – curricula – take the form of the so-called syllabus. The interrelation of the research and educational activities of the teacher is shown, which should be reflected in the developed curricu-lum of the course. It is proposed to evaluate the quality of this curriculum and the activities of the corresponding profile department according to the criteria of consistency, problematicity and activity of the course.

Published: March 2020

Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) is a neglected tropical disease caused by filarial worms. Semarang City has an increasing number of LF. The aim of this study was to investigate potential sources of transmission and distribution of LF. It was descriptive research using cross-sectional design. The sample were 28 LF cases. The variables studied were level of knowledge, physical and biological environmental factors, and provision of health service. Data were collected with interview and observation. Data were analysed descriptively and spatially. The results showed that LF cases were distributed in centre of Semarang City, especially in the coastal area.  Poor drainage and stagnant water around the houses were potential breeding places for mosquitos, which are suspected as a vector of LF transmission. Physical and biological environmental factors around the houses of LF patient may possibly be sources of distribution and transmission of LF. It was indicated with the existence of mosquito larvae in any habitats.

Published: March 2020

Strategically located in mucosal barriers, innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are relevant in local containment and tolerance of commensal microflora. ILCs have been recently described at the fetomaternal interface, where the development of a semi-allogeneic fetus can only succeed in a well-controlled immune environment. We postulate that ILCs adapt their antigen presentation capacity to protect pregnancy from excessive immune responses. Human ILCs were studied in deciduae of term pregnancies, peripheral blood and in in vitro generated ILCs. Fresh isolated lymphocytes or cells treated with pregnancy-related factors were investigated. The fetal antigen rejection-based CBA/J × DBA/2J mouse model (poor outcome pregnant mice; POPM) was used to characterize ILC antigen presentation potential in normal and immunologically disturbed pregnancies. ILC antigen presentation potential was characterized by flow cytometry and qPCR. We discovered that the distribution of ILC subsets changed during both human and murine pregnancy. Moreover, the pregnancy was accompanied by reduced MHCII expression in splenic ILCs during normal pregnancy (CBA/J × BALB/c; good outcome pregnant mice; GOPM) but increased in splenic and intestinal ILCs of CBA/J × DBA/2J mice. In vitro, splenic ILCs from pregnant mice increased MHCII expression after stimulation with IL-1β and IL-23. In contrast, uterine ILCs displayed lower MHCII expression, which remained unchanged after stimulation. Finally, pregnancy-related factors and hormones present in the uterine environment reduced antigen presentation potential of human ILCs in vitro. Together, these data indicate that, during pregnancy, peripheral and especially uterine ILCs adapt their antigen presenting potential to maintain a level of tolerance and support pregnancy.
Más allá de la seguridad y la resiliencia. Hacia la intervención civil y el empoderamiento autógeno de las sociedades para construir su paz y su prosperidad
Authors: AHEDO Manuel
Published: March 2020

En la literatura sobre política y desarrollo internacional los conceptos de seguridad y resiliencia han tenido una creciente discusión y aplicación. La pregunta central es: ¿Qué puede hacer la comunidad internacional y específicamente los países centrales para avanzar hacia una seguridad humana integral, una resiliencia positiva y una prosperidad colectiva en las sociedades periféricas? Tras discutir críticamente la aportación de los dos conceptos, se relaciona la seguridad con la política internacional de intervención y de pacificación, y la resiliencia con las políticas de desarrollo; las dos relaciones son ilustradas con algunos casos empíricos. Sobre estas bases teóricas y analíticas se proponen los conceptos de intervención civil y de empoderamiento autógeno, como vías para avanzar hacia la seguridad humana integral y la resiliencia positiva. La intervención civil es la actuación de organizaciones civiles y de actores gubernamentales que colaboran de forma sincronizada y coordinada con instituciones públicas y civiles de la sociedad receptora para promover una seguridad y paz societal. El empoderamiento autógeno es la construcción simbiótica e interactiva de la resiliencia positiva impulsada exteriormente, percibido como propio. Estos dos conceptos son elementos de una teoría del desarrollo colectivo de una sociedad periférica en su contexto internacional.
Prioridades seguritarias y narrativas hegemónicas hacia Somalia: política exterior de Estados Unidos (1992-2009)
Authors: MORÓN-CARA ORTEGA Yelena
Published: March 2020

Somalia es señalada públicamente en 2002 como “caldo de cultivo para el terrorismo internacional” por el subsecretario de defensa de Estados Unidos, Paul Wolfowitz, reapareciendo en la agenda como uno de los países prioritarios dentro de la política exterior estadounidense. Partiendo de las contribuciones teóricas de la teoría de la seguritización, la investigación estudiará los cambios producidos en la política exterior estadounidense desde 1992 con la implicación activa y militar de EEUU en Somalia, hasta el final del mandato de George W. Bush en 2009, promotor discursivo de la Guerra Global contra el Terror. El estudio pretenderá arrojar luz sobre las lógicas seguritarias que se esconden tras la política exterior estadounidense, materializadas en las narrativas hegemónicas hacia Somalia, el etiquetaje de los actores, la seguritización de la ayuda en clave antiterrorista, el cambio de rol de EEUU y, en suma, la subordinación de la agenda política somalí a la agenda de seguridad internacional.

El concepto de seguridad integral incluido en la Constitución de la República del Ecuador del 2008 se ha convertido en un nuevo paradigma en el marco de la conceptualización de la política pública frente a las amenazas que afectan al individuo, el entorno y la organización política ecuatoriana. Así pues, esta nueva percepción procura sustituir el antiguo concepto de seguridad nacional desarrollado durante la Guerra Fría, centrado en la protección del estado, hacia una noción más antropocéntrica que amplía la noción de seguridad a partir de la protección del individuo y su relación con el medio ambiente, en el marco de un estado garante de derechos. El estudio analiza la evolución del concepto de seguridad nacional hacia la nueva construcción de seguridad integral. En este marco se utilizará el método descriptivo que permitirá una recolección sistémica de las diferentes normativas que coadyuvarán a describir las características de cada uno de estos momentos históricos.

UPAYA PENINGKATAN SIKAP ILMIAH DAN PELESTARIAN BUDAYA LOKAL MELALUI PRAKTIKUM BIOLOGI BERBASIS ETNOBIOLOGI AbstrakPotensi lokal yang ada di sekitar sekolah pada umumnya belum banyak dimanfaatkan secara maksimal sebagai sumber belajar biologi, oleh sebab itu perlu dikembangkan praktikum biologi berbasis etnobiologi sebagai upaya pelestarian budaya lokal.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah 1) mengkaji pengetahuan Etnobiologi dan meningkatkan sikap ilmiah peserta didik SMA melalui praktikum biologi. 2) mengintegrasikan budaya lokal masyarakat suku Dayak Ngaju di wilayah Kabupaten Gunung Mas pada materi pelajaran biologi. Tahap pertama merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif, pada tahap ini dilakukan pengkajian potensi lokal berbasis etnobiologi meliputi sumber daya alam hewan, tumbuhan dan potensi lokal lainnya, yang dimanfaatkan masyarakat.Tahap kedua dilaksanakan praktikum biologi berbasis etnobiologi pada peserta didik kelas X di tiga SMA wilayah Kabupaten Gunung Mas dengan menggunakan angket respons peserta didik terhadap pelaksanaan praktikum. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat peningkatan sikap ilmiah setelah mendapatkan pembelajaran biologi berbasis etnobiologi dibanding kelompok kontrol dengan rata-rata skor sebesar 0,47 (kriteria sedang).Budaya lokal perlu didokumentasikan dan diajarkan kepada generasi berikutnya untuk menghindari kehilangan budaya lokal di wilayah setempat.AbstractLocal potentials that exist around the school, in general, have not been maximally utilized as a source of biology learning. Therefore, it needs to be developed learning biology-based on ethnobiology efforts of preservation of local culture. The purpose of this research is 1) to study the knowledge of ethnobiology and to improve the scientific attitude of the learner of high school students through biology practicum. 2) integrate the local culture of the Dayak Ngaju tribe community in the Gunung Mas District area in biology subject matter. The first stage is qualitative descriptive research. At this stage conducted an assessment of local potency based on ethnobiology covering natural animal resources, plants, and other local potencies, which is utilized by society. The second stage is practicum based on ethnobiology biology of class X students in three high schools in Gunung Mas District by using the questionnaire of students' responses to the practicum implementation. The results showed that there was an increase in scientific attitude after obtaining biology learning based on ethnobiology- compared to the control group with an average score of 0.47 (medium criterion). Local culture needs to be documented and taught to the next generation to avoid losing local culture in the local area.
