Membentuk Karakter Siswa Melalui Keteladanan Guru
Authors: -- Nurchaili 
Published: March 2018

The government made an effort to solve moral decadence problem by proclaiming â€œ CharacterÂ Educationâ€ in every level of education. Character education is a holistic educational process that connects the moral dimension to the social realm in the students life as the foundation to establish quality generations who are able to live independently and have the truth principle that can be accounted for. Character is a â€œbehaviorâ€ not a â€˜knowledgeâ€™. So, in the practice of character education requires not only the theory or the concept its self, but also the direct model of the teacher. Therefore, it can be internalized by the students well because it is not only taught but also exemplified. The implementation of character education in schools is more accurate through modeling approaches, modeling (uswah) conducted by the teacher Teacherâ€™s exemplary is needs to be created because a teacher is a central figure in th school that the studentsâ€™ attention always for them. Teachers should really be an example not only the conveyor of science information, but also includes transferâ€™s activity of virtuous noble character personality in order to form studentâ€™s character as a national asset that will be the determinant of the existence of this nation.Â ABSTRAKÂ Pemerintah berusaha menyikapi permasalahan dekadensi moral atau merosotnya karakter peserta didik dengan mencanangkan pendidikan karakter disetiap jenjang pendidikan. Pendidikan karakter merupakan suatu proses pendidikan secara holistik yang menghubungkan dimensi moral dengan ranah sosial dalam kehidupan peserta didik sebagai pondasi bagi terbentuknya generasi yang berkualitas yang mampu hidup mandiri dan memiliki prinsip kebenaran yang dapat dipertanggungjawabkan. Dalam praktiknya pendidikan karakter tidak hany membutuhkan teori atau konsep semata. Karakter merupakan perilaku (behaviour), bukan pengetahuan sehingga untuk dapat diinternalisasi oleh peserta didik, maka harus diteladankan bukan hanya diajarkan. Pelaksanaan pendidikan karakter di sekolah lebih tepat melalui pendekatan modeling, keteladanan (uswah) yang dilakukan oleh guru. Keteladanan guru perlu diciptakan karena gurulah sebagai tokoh sentral yang setiap saat menjadi perhatian peserta didik di sekolah. Guru harus benar-benar menjadi teladan bukan hanya sebata penyampai informasi ilmu pengetahuan, melainkan meliputi kegiatan mentransfer kepribadian yang berbudi pekerti luhur guna membentuk karakter peserta didik sebagai aset bangsa yang akan menjadi penentu eksistensi bangsa ini.

Nowadays we should be proud because the more Indonesian students have succeeded in International Science Olympic. The Indonesian student team was even once to be overall champion in the International Conference of Young Scientists with participant from 19 countries held in Bali on April 12th-7th 2010. On the other hand, some other Indonesian students have shown their disrespectful attitude to public, they like to brawl or fight with the student from other school, get drunk, drugs or narcotic addiction, wild races along the crowded traffic. The phenomenon is then to be the reason for government to conduct â€œPiloting Projectâ€ in 125 schools in 16 districts/cities in within 16 provinces since September 2010. The Objectives of conducting the â€œPiloting Projectsâ€ is to implement the values of character to the students so they can turn their attitude to the positive one. The implementation of character education does not need to be the typical subject nor additional standard of competence but this is, however, integrated into the existing subject or through the self-development and school culture as well as local content.Â ABSTRAKSaat ini pelajar Indonesia semakin banyak yang patut dibanggakan, karena telah berhasil menjuarai olimpiade sains di tingkat internasional. Bahkan, pelajar Indonesia menjadi juara umum dalam Konferensi Internasional Ilmuwan Muda se-Dunia yang diikuti ratusan pelajar SMA dari 19 negara di Bali pada 12-17 April 2010. Namun, tidak sedikit pula pelajar yang tidak punya sopan santun, suka tawuran, minum minuman keras, mabok-mabokan, senang narkotika, dan hobi kebut-kebutan mengendarai sepeda motor di jalan raya. Melihat kenyataan ini maka Pemerintah mulai tahun ajaran 2010 telah melakukan piloting penyelenggaraan pendidikan karakter di 125 sekolah yang tersebar di 16 kabupaten/kota dari 16 Propinsi. Implementasi pendidikan karakter di sekolah tidak merupakan mata pelajaran tersendiri, tidak pula merupakan tambahan standar kompetensi (SK) dan kompetensi dasar (KD), tetapi dapat diintegrasikan ke dalam mata pelajaran yang sudah ada, pengembangan diri, dan budaya sekolah, serta muatan lokal.
Breaking the Tyranny of the Semester: A Phase-Gate Sprint Approach to Teaching Colorado School of Mines Students Important Engineering Concepts, Delivering Useful Solutions to Communities, and Working on Long Time Scale Projects
Authors: Dean Jered H , Van Bossuyt Douglas L 
Published: March 2018

The Colorado School of Mines (CSM) hosts the oldest Humanitarian Engineering (HE) minor program in the USA, originally started in 2004. During the 2012/2013 academic year the program was overhauled and new curriculum was introduced. Several deficiencies in senior capstone courses were noted including poor quality of designs resulting from the tyranny of the rigid semester schedule; students focusing on the technical aspects of a design project while largely ignoring the social, financial, and sustainable aspects; and a loss of knowledge between academic terms due to turnover of students. These were addressed in the development of the Projects for People course through several methods. The course has been offered for two semesters and will be offered in multiple sections in the immediate future. Students, CSM faculty, and NGO partners have all found the course to be useful and rigorous, and the HE faculty have found the resulting designs to be of high quality.

Published: March 2018

In May 2012, a group of chemical and mechanical engineering students from the newly established [University Name] Appropriate Technology and Sustainability [Identifying Acronym] undergraduate research group embarked on a 10 day visit to Bangang Village, Cameroon in West Africa to implement a multidisciplinary engineering service-based project to develop appropriate, sustainable biodiesel and biochar technology for use by local villagers. The participating students had worked on this design project both as part of their capstone design course in both Chemical and Mechanical Engineering and as part of a special elective that included an embedded study abroad component. Poverty and rapid population growth have led to the accelerated destruction of natural resources throughout the developing world, particularly West Africa. The purpose of this project was not only to introduce students to the concepts of sustainability, service based learning and appropriate technology, but to get them beyond the textbooks and laboratories and solve real problems that impact real people around the world.
Pharmacy Students’ Informal Use of Facebook and its Perceived Role in Pharmacy Education in Jordan

Published: March 2018

Objectives: The use of social media, including Facebook, as a tool for learning is becoming increasingly important in health professional education programs including pharmacy. This study aimed to evaluate undergraduate pharmacy students’ informal use and attitudes toward Facebook in professional pharmacy education in Jordan.
Methods: This study was a cross-sectional web-based survey using a 38-item questionnaire that was developed through a multi-phase iterative process. The study targeted all professional year pharmacy students, both BSc and PharmD, at Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST).
Results: Seven hundred twenty pharmacy students responded to the survey (response rate 31.3%). The majority of the students (98.8%) had personal accounts on Facebook. Of this, the majority (82.4%) reported that they unofficially used Facebook as a tool for studying or academic purposes beside other social purposes. Overall, the students demonstrated positive attitudes toward the use of Facebook in pharmacy education. About 78.6% of the respondents reported that Facebook contributed to their academic success. Furthermore, a substantial proportion of the students found Facebook well acceptable in teaching and learning environment (55.2%) and believed that pharmacy schools should formally encourage students to use Facebook for academic purposes (54.1%).
Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that pharmacy students in Jordan frequently and highly utilize Facebook as an unofficial tool for communication, teaching and learning. Pharmacy schools should make every effort to create appropriate learning environment within Facebook that could positively impact students’ academic success. Interventions to improve attitudes toward social media e-professionalism should be in place before formally implementing Facebook and other social media platforms within the pharmacy academic environment.

Hydrolysis of Metal Ions from the Perspective of Proton Transport in Liquid Water
Authors: Lim Len Herald V. 
Published: March 2018

The dynamics of proton transfer reactions still persists as an open question to both experimentalists and theoreticians. Theoretical studies on liquid water indicate that the molecular processes involved occur at timescales transparent to conventional detection. In contemporary models, the anomalous diffusion of a proton in liquid water appears to be closely tied to how hydrogen bonding patterns evolve, which suggests that proton dissociation proceed only if certain conditions are met: structural patterns and dynamics satisfied over a network of hydrogen bonded molecules. These have been verified through simulations of highly charged metal ions in aqueous solution in which quantum mechanical calculations are explicitly invoked to allow the occurrence of hydrolytic events. The results obtained thereof have given insight into the proper evaluation of proton transfer events and how they can be understood in the context of many body interactions.
Preliminary Study on Deltamethrin Residues in Cabbage, Soil and Water from Dalaguete, Cebu, Philippines

Pesticides pose a threat to the environment and eventually human health. Extent of contamination of pesticides can be determined and monitored by analysis of pesticide residue in surface water, sediments, soil, and biota. Samples were collected from Manlapay, Barangay Mantalongon in Dalaguete, reportedly the vegetable basket of Cebu, from October to November 2013. Concentration of the pesticide deltamethrin was determined by Gas Chromatography-Electron Capture Detector along with organic matter content (OM), potassium (K) and cation exchange capacity (CEC) using standard methods of analysis. Data showed that deltamethrin was found to be present in soil and cabbage and beyond detection limit in water. Inverse relationship was found between residue in cabbage and in soil confirming pesticide leaching as supported by rainfall data. Organic matter and cation exchange capacity in soil showed significant correlation to detected deltamethrin residue confirming that pyrethroids are strongly bound to organic matter and free exchangeable potassium ions. Deltamethrin residue in water does not show any correlation to any other parameters as it is beyond detection limit, probably due to volatilization and photodegradation of deltamethrin in water. Temperature variation does not show significant difference to deltamethrin residue in all three matrices. The detected deltamethrin residue concentrations in the cabbage (<0.001-0.029 ppm), soil samples (0.007-0.008 ppm) and water samples (<0.0005 ppm) were all below international guideline limits (ASEAN maximum level of 0.5 ppm deltamethrin in cabbage, EC ecologically accepted concentration of 1290 mg deltamethrin/kg soil, and a maximum limit of 0.0025 ppm deltamethrin according to Canadian water quality, respectively). Inspite of the low concentrations detected in cabbage, soil and water samples, an extensive pesticide monitoring on environmental samples within the area is advisable. This will help the adoption of an efficient risk assessment strategy to inform appropriate interventions.
Coconut Oil: Bringing History, Common Sense and Science Together
Authors: Dayrit Fabian M. 
Published: March 2018

The modern Western diet has suffered the damaging effects of trans fats, much of it from soybean oil. It is suffering another blow, this time from the damaging effects of an excess of omega-6 fats, again from soybean oil.
The vast majority of epidemiological studies do not distinguish between coconut oil and animal fat, and simply refer to them collectively as “saturated fat.” This is a fatal mistake for two reasons: first, the fatty acid profiles of coconut oil and animal fat are very different, and second, coconut oil hardly has any cholesterol while animal fats contain a lot of cholesterol. This means that the results based on animal fat cannot be applied to coconut oil.
Contrary to the claim of the AHA, there is abundant evidence to show that coconut oil and a coconut diet do not raise the incidence of heart disease and are, in fact, part of many healthy traditional diets. Many populations who shifted from a traditional coconut diet to a Western diet have suffered worse health outcomes. However, the historical and scientific evidence in support of coconut oil may not be enough to convince the AHA which favors a high omega-6 diet.

Published: March 2018

Rendahnya hasil belajar siswa mata pelajaran Jaringan Dasar siswa kelas X TKJ 1 SMKN 1 Bangkinang menjadi latar belakang penelitan tindakan kelas ini. Peneliti merasakan proses belajar mengajar masih terpusat kepada guru, materi sering tersajikan dalam bentuk ceramah dan demonstrasi sehingga sering peneliti menjumpai siswa lebih banyak diam dan mendengarkan saja, kreatifitas dan kemandiriannya kurang terwujud dan proses belajar mengajarpun tidak berjalan sebagaimana yang diharapkan. Hal ini menjadi penyebab hasil belajar siswa turun. Dari 36 siswa hanya ada 20 orang siswa yang nilainya berada di atas kriteria ketuntasan minimal (KKM) atau sekitar 55% dan tentunya tidak sesuai dengan yang diharapkan. Untuk itu Peneliti merasa perlu mengatasi permasalahan belajar ini dengan melakukan penelitian tindakan kelas. Penelitian tindakan kelas yang peneliti lakukan berjudul “Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar Jaringan Dasar Model Pembelajaran Berbasis Proyek (Project Based Learning) Siswa Kelas X TKJ 1 SMKN 1 Bangkinang”. Dengan adanya penelitian ini Peneliti berharap dapat menemukan jalan keluar untuk mengatasi permasalahan belajar, dan semoga kedepannya hasil bejar siswa dapat ditingkatkan. Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) ini dilakukan dalam dua siklus dan teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah data dari hasil ujian kompetensi pada kompetensi Dasar.

Background/Objective: Overlapping clinical symptoms often complicate differential diagnosis between patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reveals disease specific structural and functional differences that aid in differentiating AD from bvFTD patients. However, the benefit of combining structural and functional connectivity measures to—on a subject-basis—differentiate these dementia-types is not yet known. Methods: Anatomical, diffusion tensor (DTI), and resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) of 30 patients with early stage AD, 23 with bvFTD, and 35 control subjects were collected and used to calculate measures of structural and functional tissue status. All measures were used separately or selectively combined as predictors for training an elastic net regression classifier. Each classifier’s ability to accurately distinguish dementia-types was quantified by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC). Results: Highest AUC values for AD and bvFTD discrimination were obtained when mean diffusivity, full correlations between rs-fMRI-derived independent components, and fractional anisotropy (FA) were combined (0.811). Similarly, combining gray matter density (GMD), FA, and rs-fMRI correlations resulted in highest AUC of 0.922 for control and bvFTD classifications. This, however, was not observed for control and AD differentiations. Classifications with GMD (0.940) and a GMD and DTI combination (0.941) resulted in similar AUC values ( p = 0.41). Conclusion: Combining functional and structural connectivity measures improve dementia-type differentiations and may contribute to more accurate and substantiated differential diagnosis of AD and bvFTD patients. Imaging protocols for differential diagnosis may benefit from also including DTI and rs-fMRI.
