Published: March 2021

When switching to online teaching, the question arises about the feasibility, methods and form of transposing existing teaching materials into the Internet and creating new ones. The aim of the study is to show what opportunities electronic educational environment ViLLE, developed in Finland, has for teaching Russian as a foreign language and as a second home language. The material of the article include exercises created in this e-environment, and the methods of the research include various software and pedagogical solutions aimed at implementing the methodology. During research, starting in 2017, e-learning platform ViLLE has allowed the Russian language to find and to take its place in Finlands digital language teaching system. Different courses were created, with different sets of tasks and exercises that can be used by teachers and students of any educational institution. Some of the courses, among them those aimed at bilinguals, provide an opportunity to familiarize students with the included theoretical material. Having mastered the necessary minimum skills of using ViLLE, any teacher can independently modify tasks and exercises, combine them in the desired sequence and volume, and thus create courses adapted to the needs of their students. An integrated performance analysis system makes their work easier by allowing the teacher to focus on a specific language teaching problem. The results showed that among the existing electronic educational resources, online platforms and e-learning environments are the most essential tools for teaching a foreign/second language, since only they give the teacher the opportunity to independently plan and structure the entire educational process, manage it, use existing materials and create new ones, automatize certain functions, combine various educational events, and communicate with students. The article compares criteria for evaluating such resources and dividing them into two categories: (1) general criteria that include multi-functionality, the set of features provided by the environment, and compatibility with regard to encoding and format of training materials and other system components; (2) those considering needs of specific teachers and students and their resources, namely, resource administrating, creating tasks and courses, managing and monitoring the learning process. The future plans concern carrying out extensive monitoring of the effectiveness of the system in school and university teaching.

A “arte da malandragem" entre a farsa e a tragédia - uma narrativa dramática de longa duração
Authors: Rocha Gilmar
Published: March 2021

A obra literária não é uma fala sobre a realidade mas um modo de falar a sociedade. Com base nessa premissa etnográfica, o texto explora a relação simbólica da literatura com alguns momentos da história cultural e política brasileira desde o Império. O objetivo é analisar a mudança de significado da malandragem ao longo do tempo destacando suas aproximações e diferenças com outras categorias do imaginário cultural e político brasileiro como o favor, o jeitinho, a corrupção, que embora vistos com desconfiança e descredito hoje, ainda assim revelam de forma densa e critica aspectos significativos da realidade contemporânea. Assim a “arte da malandragem”, entendida como um conjunto de representações e práticas simbólicas, constitui uma narrativa de longa duração na qual se revela o drama de uma sociedade cuja história oscila entre a farsa e a tragédia.

Published: March 2021

Introduction Inter-professional education (IPE) is becoming an integral
part of many professional programmes throughout the UK, ensuring health
professionals are competent to work as part of an inter-professional
team upon entry into their profession. IPE has become a fundamental
component of curriculum content in health and social care degrees. Aims
Research aim - to evaluate a simulated IPE intervention. Methods A one
day IPE intervention, ‘Evening On-Call’ was run involving nursing and
medical students and pre-registration pharmacists (student pharmacists
in year 5 of training) in an on-call setting. This IPE incorporated
manikin and actor patients in a simulated ward. During the intervention,
the 3 groups of students are assessed under observation on their
clinical, prioritisation and communication skills. Participants
perceptions of this intervention were evaluated by completion of a
questionnaire to capture their perceptions regarding the experience, the
pre-IPL briefing and post-IPL feedback and perceived relevance of this
training. Free text sections collected additional comments and a
follow-up questionnaire was sent six months later. Results Initial
questionnaire feedback was predominantly positive for each professional
group. The majority perceived the simulated IPL had given them a greater
understanding of other professionals’ roles, had enhanced their
professional confidence and would help them prioritise workload once
qualified. The 6 months follow up questionnaire supported the initial
questionnaire findings. Some responses highlighted participants believed
the simulated IPL had helped them work more effectively with other
healthcare professionals, communicate more effectively and better
prioritise their workload. There may be some evidence of sustained
self-reported effectiveness in teaching certain professional and
clinical skills to participants using this type of simulated
intervention.

Published: March 2021

Maintenance of a desirable mixture of shrubs and grasses is a key issue
in sustainable grazing management. The aim of this study was to explore
the effect of long-term sheep grazing on desert steppe shrubs. Based on
a long-term controlled sheep stocking rate experiment in a desert steppe
of north China, combined with long-term random sampling monitoring of
above-ground vegetation standing crop (14 years) and short-term
systematic sampling monitoring of vegetation cover and individual
characteristics of shrubs (3 years), we analyzed plant community
changes, the current situation of shrubs and the response of individual
shrub characteristics to stocking rate. We found that low stocking rates
have increased the cumulative above-ground standing crop of shrubs and
herbaceous plants, but the cumulative above-ground standing crop of
shrubs under high grazing rates tends to be flat. The cover and height
of four shrub species generally showed a decrease with increasing
stocking rate, while the response of the four shrubs to the stocking
rate gradient varied. Among four shrub species, Artemisia frigida was
the most sensitive to stocking rate, followed by Ceratoides latens and
Caragana microphylla, while Kochia prostrata was relatively insensitive
to stocking rate. These results suggest that grassland managers can use
an appropriate stocking rate to maintain desirable plant community
composition and configuration in the temperate grassland.
Gender difference in adrenal developmental toxicity induced by dexamethasone and its intrauterine programming mechanism
Authors: Chen Yawen , Xu Dan , Xia Xuan , Chen Guanghui , Cao Jiangang , Xiao Hao , Chen Liaobin , Wang Hui
Published: March 2021

Background and Purpose: Dexamethasone is widely used in preterm labor
and related diseases. However, prenatal dexamethasone exposure (PDE) can
cause multi-organ developmental toxicities in offspring. Our previous
study found the occurrence of fetal-originated diseases were associated
with adrenal developmental programming alteration in offspring. Here, we
investigated the effects of PDE on the adrenal function in offspring and
its intrauterine programming mechanism. Experimental Approach: A rat
model of PDE was established to observe the alteration of adrenal
steroidogenesis in offspring. Further, we confirmed the gender
difference of adrenal steroidogenesis and its molecular mechanism
combined with in vivo and in vitro experiment. Key Results: PDE caused a
decrease in adrenal steroidogenic function in fetal rats, but decreased
in males and increased in females after birth. Meanwhile, the adrenal
H3K14ac level and expression of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 2
(11β-HSD2) in PDE offspring were decreased in males and increased in
females, suggesting 11β-HSD2 might mediate gender difference of adrenal
function. We further confirmed dexamethasone inhibited the H3K14ac level
and expression of 11β-HSD2 through GR/SP1/p300 pathway. After bilateral
testectomy or ovariectomy in adult PDE offspring rats, adrenal 11β-HSD2
expression and steroidogenic function were both reduced. Using rat
primary fetal adrenal cells, the differential expression in AR and ERβ
were proved to involve in regulating the gender difference of 11β-HSD2
expression. Conclusion and Implications: This study demonstrated the
gender difference in adrenal steroidogenic function of PDE offspring
after birth, and elucidates a sex hormone receptor-dependent
epigenetically regulating mechanism for adrenal 11β-HSD2 programming
alteration.

Published: March 2021

Introduction. Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare, severe, aggressive infection, life-threatening surgical emergency that spreads quickly, characterized by extensive necrosis of the deep and superficial fascia, associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Case outline. We are presenting two case reports with necrotizing fasciitis: a 54-year-old male patient, obese, with hypertension and untreated perianal fistula with severe infection of perianal region, perineum and scrotum, and a 64-year-old female patient with diabetes mellitus and heart disease, with severe infection of the lower extremity, anterior abdominal wall, inguinal and gluteal region, in which the entry point of infection were microlesions of the skin after shaving. Both patients were treated by emergency extensive surgical necrectomy with eradication of the deep infection source, with all conservative treatment measures. One patient was treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the other was not because of cardiac and pulmonary contraindications. Conclusion. Better treatment outcome requires a multidisciplinary approach (cardiologist, endocrinologist, nephrologist, orthopedist, surgeon). Rapid and extensive surgical necrectomy is necessary to increase the success of the treatment of patients with this infection.
The Effects of Collaborative Simulation on the Development of Students' Confidence in Managerial Accounting Skills
Authors: Ugrin Joseph C. , Odom Marcus D. , Honn Darla D. , Rose Anna M.
Published: March 2021

This paper examines the effects of practice through collaborative simulation on the development of students' confidence in critical managerial accounting skills not commonly covered in traditional lecture courses. We assign students to teams that complete a large-scale integrative business simulation (LSIBS), the CAPSIM Foundation's Business Strategy Simulation Game, which serves as a collaborative learning experience. The semester-long project requires students to practice the managerial accountant's job through phased assignments where they make individual assessments, collaborate to set strategies, make decisions that align with the strategies, and report on the results of the decisions. We use a quasi-experimental methodology to examine the efficacy of the project for improving students' confidence across a set of competencies defined by the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA). The findings show that using a collaborative simulation experience in a managerial accounting course can promote the development of students' confidence in critical managerial accounting skills.

Considering the analysis of the academic process oriented to the reputational capital of the HEI brands, it arrive three main certifiable objects with impact on the reputation of universities: 'individual teaching advice' - applied to perform the main tasks of the process, the ' self-efficacy '- present in the evaluation of the work plan that guides the student's actions in the process and' disclosure '- which brings academia closer to society and generates a positive internal culture. The objective of this work is to identify how to carry out the certification of these objects. As a research methodology, three quasi-systematic reviews were applied, with successive refinements of articles collected on the CAPES Portal and the results were compiled. It was possible to identify that training followed or monitored by evaluations, and practical tests, also called challenges, are the forms of certification prevalent in this scope. The skills developed from the certifications considered were also listed, with the most mentioned being highlighted, such as the development of social skills, strengthening the commitment to the career and participation in the community of continuous learning; being observed that these favor the reputational capital of university brands.
A Mathematical Model For Lassa Fever Transmission Dynamics With Impacts of Control Measures: Analysis And Simulation
Authors: Idisi Oke Isaiah , Yusuf Tunde Tajudeen
Published: March 2021

Lassa Fever, caused by Lassa virus, is a vector-host transmitted infectious disease whose prevalence has been on the upsurge over the past few decades. Thus, considering the grave implications of the continuous spread of the disease, an epidemic model was developed to describe the disease transmission dynamics with impacts of proposed control measures. This is to help inform effective control strategies that would successfully curtail and contain the disease in its endemic areas. The model is qualitatively analyzed in order to contextualize the long run behavior of the model while the model associated basic reproduction number $(\mathcal{R}_0)$ is derived. The model analysis reveals that the disease-free equilibrium is locally and globally stable whenever $ \mathcal{R}_0 < 1 $ and the disease prevalence would be high as long as $ \mathcal{R}_0 > 1 $. Finally, the model is numerically solved and simulated for different scenarios of the disease outbreaks while the findings from simulations are discussed.

Authors: Echeverría Rodríguez Leovy , Cobos Ruth
Published: March 2021

The outcomes presented in this paper are associated with the impact of motivational messages sent by a Motivation Booster to the students that participated in blended learning experiences. The aim of the Motivation Booster is to provide personalized and summarized feedback, by means of motivational messages, to the users of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning systems on their completed collaborative learning activities. The developed Motivation Booster was integrated into the Moodle system. Two blended learning experiences were put into practice at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana Montería (Colombia) over an academic year with students enrolled in the course called “Software Engineering” at the Computer Science Department. A group of students participated in the first blended learning experience, and they used the Moodle system without the Motivation Booster. And another group of students participated in the second blended learning experience, where they used Moodle with the developed Motivation Booster. The experimental results give us evidences that the students felt more motivated to work with the Moodle system when they received motivational messages due to the Motivation Booster. Especially students were stimulated to work in a group manner.

Published: March 2021

Cecal dilatation and distention is an important disorder in early lactation dairy cows, however, reports describing the anatomical pathology findings of this condition are scarce in the literature. Etiopathogenesis of cecal dilatation and distention is often attributed to high concentrate feeds, but there is also evidence of myoelectrical dysfunction contributing to its occurrence. Diagnosis is often made based on physical exam findings, with the contribution of ancillary exams. This paper aims to describe a case of cecal dilatation with clinical, laboratorial and pathology findings of a 5-month-old Holstein calf that presented abdominal distension, positive succussion of the right flank and mild dehydration. Clinical pathology findings included neutrophilic leukocytosis with regenerative left shift and elevated ruminal chloride. Ultrasonographic examination of the right abdomen showed distended and hypomotile intestinal loops. Despite that, due to the patient’s age, which prevented rectal palpation, and lack of some characteristic clinical and clinical pathology findings, diagnosis was only possible post mortem. Macroscopical and microscopical findings demonstrated cecum dilatation with edema, hemorrhage and thrombi. Despite being well known by large animal clinics, anatomical pathologists must be aware of this condition.

Pythiosis is a granulomatous process of which the oomycete Pythium insidiosum is its etiological agent. It can affect animals and humans alike and its infection occurs when free zoospores in the water get in contact with the target tissues and encyst. The disease often occurs in tropical places with abundance of water and aquatic plants that host the fungus. Dogs infection is predominantly gastric with granuloma formations in the stomach and intestine with progressive signs of vomiting, weight loss and diarrhea. In this case report, we described clinical, surgical, necroscopic and histopathological findings of a one year and two months old, male boxer that presented clinical signs of anorexia and persistent vomiting. It was noticed on ultrasound examination an increase in stomach and intestine thickness. Laparotomy confirmed a mass affecting the gastric wall which, an incision biopsy, showed an abundant fibrous tissue associated with granulomatous reaction that was surrounded by tubuliform structures. Due to clinical complications, euthanasia was performed and in necroscopic examination a markedly increased stomach and duodenum was observed. An; histological examination of this areas it was observed that they contained granulation tissue with giant cells and epithelioids macrophages around necrosed areas associated with lymphocytes infiltrate. Also, it was possible to observe tubuliform structures by the Grocott-Gomori’s Methenamine Silver (GMS) stain, this finding is compatible with the agent Pythium insidiosum. Therefore, this presumptive identification was confirmed by PCR analysis which amplicon had 97.83% similarity with current available genomic sequence of P. insidiosum.

The infected subject will later be more susceptible to suffer from opportunistic diseases when the CD4 cell count is lesser than 200 cell/µL. Oral Thrush, periodontal disease and xerostomia are common oral manifestations in AIDS patient which initially indicate the presence of HIV infection. No research has been conducted to discuss the association between oral manifestation HIV/AIDS toward socio-demographic and clinical profile of the HIV/AIDS patients. Therefore, this study was aimed to analyse the association between oral manifestation HIV/AIDS toward socio-demographic and clinical profile of the HIV/AIDS patients. Methods: This was an analysis study with cross sectional design performed in 2019. The data of clinical profil of HIV AIDS patient and oral manifestation were obtained from secondary data of medical record.The 55 samples were taken with total sampling technique.  Results: Chi-square test showed there was a significant correlation between number of  CD4 with candidiasis, oral thrush and periodontal disease. There was a significant correlation between duration of ARV therapy and candidiasis, oral thrush (p<0.05). Conclusion: There is a correlation between the number of CD4 cells and the duration of ARV treatment on candidiasis,oral thrush, periodontal disease and xerostomia.
Global development cooperation in a COVID-19 world
Authors: Kharas Homi
Published: March 2021

COVID-19 and the economic response have amplified and changed the nature of development challenges in fundamental ways. Global development cooperation should adapt accordingly. This paper lays out the urgency for new methods of development cooperation that can deliver resource transfers at scale, oriented to addressing climate change and with transparency and better governance. It looks at what is actually happening to major donor countries’ development cooperation programs and where the principal gaps lie, and offers some thoughts on how to move forward, notwithstanding the clear geopolitical rivalries that are evident.The most immediate challenge is to provide a level of liquidity support to countries ravaged by the global economic downturn. Many developing countries will see double-digit declines in GDP, with some recording downturns not seen in peacetime. Alongside the short-term challenge of recovery, COVID-19 has laid bare longer-term trends that have pointed for some time to the lack of sustainability—environmental, social, and governance—in the way economic development was occurring in many places, including in advanced economies. This new landscape has significant implications for development cooperation in terms of scale, development/climate co-benefits, and transparency and accountability.

Published: March 2021

This descriptive study aims to determine the reasoning of the formal-post formal operations of biology teacher candidates in three aspects of lectures. The research sample consisted of 76 students who took part in the 2019/2020 academic year lectures which were taken using the purposive technique. The sample consisted of 29 students in the General Biology practicum subject, 24 students in the invertebrates practicum subject, and 23 students in the vertebrate zoology practicum subject. The data was collected through a test technique using formal-post-formal operational reasoning questions that were developed by themselves and had met the constructive and empirical valid criteria. Data analysis regarding the level of formal-post formal operational reasoning was carried out using the percentage correct score technique obtained for each item so that the correct score was obtained from all students. The results showed that there was a difference in the percentage level of formal-post formal operational reasoning for each level of student lectures. The highest to the lowest level of reasoning was obtained by students who took the vertebrates zoology practicum course by 67%, invertebrates zoology practicum by 67%, and general biology practicum by 17%. Also, students' formal operational reasoning in each subject tends to be lower when compared to their post-formal operational reasoning. The most common indicators of formal reasoning among the three aspects of the lecture are proportional reasoning, and indicators that are lacking are probabilistic and correlational.

Numerical Solution to Recover Time-dependent Coefficient and Free Boundary from Nonlocal and Stefan Type Overdetermination Conditions in Heat Equation
Authors: Mohammed Qassim  , M. S. Hussein
Published: March 2021

This paper investigates the recovery for time-dependent coefficient and free boundary for heat equation. They are considered under mass/energy specification and Stefan conditions. The main issue with this problem is that the solution is unstable and sensitive to small contamination of noise in the input data. The Crank-Nicolson finite difference method (FDM) is utilized to solve the direct problem, whilst the inverse problem is viewed as a nonlinear optimization problem. The latter problem is solved numerically using the routine optimization toolbox lsqnonlin from MATLAB. Consequently, the Tikhonov regularization method is used in order to gain stable solutions. The results were compared with their exact solution and tested via root mean squares error (RMSE). We found that the numerical results are accurate and stable.

Kondisi lahan yang kering dan kesuburan tanah yang rendah menjadi permasalahan utama dalam pengembangan sorgum sebagai bahan pangan, pakan dan bahan baku industri (ethanol). Pemberian pupuk fospor (P) diharapkan dapat meningkatkan biomas batang, volume nira, kadar brix dan biji sorgum. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh berbagai dosis pemberian pupuk P terhadap pertumbuhan, hasil, kadar gula brix dan biomas beberapa varietas sorgum. Penelitian di laksanakan di Kebun Percobaan Balai Penelitian Tanaman Serealia, Maros Sulawesi Selatan. Rancangan yang digunakan dalam percobaan ini adalah rancangan acak kelompok (RAK) tiga ulangan dengan 2 faktor. Faktor pertama adalah varietas (Super 1, Super 2 dan Numbu). Faktor kedua adalah penambahan pupuk tunggal Posfor (P) : P1= tanpa pupuk fosfor, P2= 25 kg/ha pupuk P, P3= 50 kg/ha pupuk P, P4= 75 kg/ha pupuk P, P5= 100 kg/ha pupuk P dan P6= 125 kg/ha pupuk P.  Dosis pupuk acuan yang digunakan adalah 120 kg/ha N, 36 kg/ha P (P2O5) dan 90 kg/ha KCl (K2O). Data dianalisis menggunakan analisis sidik ragam Anova, apabila berpengaruh nyata dilakukan uji lanjut Duncan dengan taraf kesalahan 5%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pemberian pupuk P dosis 50 kg/ha menghasilkan panen biji tertinggi pada varietas Super 1 (2.73 t/ha), Numbu (1.93 t/ha) dan pupuk P dengan dosis 25 kg/ha menghasilkan bobot panen tertinggi pada varietas Super 2 (3.76 t/ha). Kadar gula brix tertinggi diperoleh pada varietas Super 1  dosis P 100 kg/ha (12.95%), Super 2 dosis P 125 kg/ha (15.61%) dan Numbu  dosis P 125 kg/ha (14.19%).

Penyimpanan benih yang salah, dapat menyebabkan deteriorasi, sehingga viabilitas dan vigor benih di lapangan rendah. Teknik invigorasi diterapkan sesuai dengan jenis benihnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah media agar yang dicampur dengan arang aktif dapat digunakan sebagai alternatif cara invigorasi benih Jagung manis. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Oktober-November 2019, bertempat di Laboratorium Benih Agronomi, Program Studi Agroteknologi, Fakultas Pertanian-Peternakan, Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang. Penelitian dilakukan pada benih Jagung manis varietas Talenta, menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) sederhana. Modifikasi teknik invigorasi sebagai faktor perlakuan, terdiri atas Kontrol, benih ditumbuhkan dalam media pasir (A0), modifikasi media agar (A1), modifikasi media agar ditambah arang aktif (A2), modifikasi media agar yang ditumpuk/ benih diletakkan diantara media agar (A3), modifikasi media agar+arang aktif yang ditumpuk/ benih diletakkan diantara media agar+arang aktif (A4), matriconditioning menggunakan arang sekam (A5). Setiap perlakuan diulang sebanyak 3 kali. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan bahwa viabilitas dan vigor benih Jagung masing-masing meningkat sebesar 22,22 % dan 19, 45 %. Modifikasi metode invigorasi menggunakan agar dan arang aktif dapat dijadikan sebagai alternatif perlakuan invigorasi terhadap benih Jagung.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh aplikasi biochar dan pemberian  mikoriza pada tanah inseptisol dalam pengembangan tanaman jagung pulut ungu/Dark purple waxy corn (Zea mays L. var ceratina Kulesh). Pada penelitian ini digunakan   rancangan acak kelompok (RAK) pola  faktorial 3 ulangan yang terdiri dari faktor pemberian biochar (B) terdiri dari  0 t/ha, 2 t/ha, 4 t/ha dan faktor mikoriza (M) 0 t/ha, 0.35 t/ha, 0.65 t/ha. Data hasil pengamatan dianalisis secara statistik dan apabila berpengaruh nyata dan sangat nyata, maka dilakukan uji lanjut dengan menggunakan Duncan (DMRT).  Aplikasi biochar sebagai pembenah tanah yang dapat memperbaiki sifat fisik tanah yang dikombinasikan dengan pemberian fungi mikoriza dan pupuk hayati pada lahan inseptisol dapat meningkatkan pertumbuhan dan tinggi tanaman. Pertumbuhan jagung tertinggi diperoleh pada dosis biochar 2 t/ha.  Seiring dengan meningkatnya dosis pupuk biokompos+mikoriza terdapat penurunan tinggi dan kandungan klorofil tanaman jagung pada tanah inseptisol Reuleut.

Published: March 2021

Jamur patogen Perenosclerospora sp. merupakan penyakit penting pada tanaman jagung. Dampak yang ditimbulkan dapat menimbulkan kerugian hingga 100%. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh bahan aktif fungisida sebagai perlakuan benih dalam mengendalikan penyakit bulai (Perenosclerospora sp.) pada tanaman jagung. Penelitian dilaksanakan dengan diawali menanam tanaman jagung yang diinokulasi bulai sebagai tanaman spreader (sumber inokulum alami) dan pembatas antar perlakuan. Selanjutnya saat tanaman border sudah terinfeksi bulai baru ditanam benih perlakuan yang sudah dicampur dengan bahan aktif fungisida. Penelitian disusun dalam rancangan acak lengkap dengan delapan perlakuan dengan tiga ulangan. Perlakuan terdiri atas kontrol tanpa fungisida (P0), dimetomorf (P1), dimetomorf + piraklostrobin (P2), fenamidon (P3), fenamidon dan propamokarb hodroklorida (P4), metalaksil (P5), mefenoksam (P6), dan fluopikolid+propineb (P7). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan perlakuan kontrol lebih bagus dalam meningkatkan daya kecambah dibandingkan dengan menggunakan fungisida. Benih jagung yang diberikan perlakukan bahan aktif dimetomorf + piraklostrobin memiliki potensi yang paling tinggi dalam menekan keterjadian penyakit bulai pada jagung manis dan mampu meningkatkan pertumbuhan tinggi tanaman jagung yang dibandingkan perlakuan lainnya.
