AbstractOne of the important aspects that must be learned by humans is language. Language itself is used to make it easier for us to interact with each other and exchange information in communication. The purpose of this research is to analyze the problems experienced by EFL learners in speaking English at TBI class B batch 2020 at IAIN Palangka Raya. The research method used in qualitative research. In collecting the results, the researcher used a questionnaire about speaking problems in learning a foreign language which took the theory of Penny Tang (1997). The data in this study were taken from 15 students in a TBI semester 5 class. The result of the study is that data shows that around 46.7% of students often use their mother tongue in English classes. Full use of English but only about 6% and the few remaining students sometimes combine used of English and their mother tongue.

Published: July 2024

A monophage herbivorous insect called S. pectinicornis can be utilized to biologically control the weed Pistia stratiotes. Insect mass reproduction followed by release into the target weed area is one technique that can be used. The quality of the feed must be taken into consideration during maintenance in order to increase the fitness of S. pectinicornis insects and enable them to function at their best. The fertilization procedure can improve the nutritional value of P. stratiotes as a feed source. The experiment involved applying NPK fertilizer to P. stratiotes at 6 different levels: 0 g (control); 5 g; 10 g; 15 g; 20 g; and 25 g. The findings demonstrated that when NPK fertilizer was applied to Pistia stratiotes, S. pectiniconis larvae, pupae, and imago had a better chance of surviving than controls. S. pectinicornis showed improved insect growth and development since its lifespan was shorter than controls at every developmental stage. The ideal NPK fertilizer dose for maintaining Pistia stratiotes as feed during S. pectinicornis propagation is 15g/20 L of water.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES. In this paper, we reviewed cough and herbal therapies.

MATERIAL AND METHODS. Research methods included searching online databases such as Google, Google Scholar, ProQuest Central, and PubMed at Kirikkale University. We used terms like “cough”, “herbal”, “reflex”, “Primula veris”, “Primula elatior”, “Thymus vulgaris”, “Althea Officinalis”, and “Mentha piperita” to find related articles.

RESULTS. Coughing is a reflex that serves a legitimate physiological purpose by expelling fluids and debris from the lungs. Herbal teas and preparations with antioxidant and expectorant properties are made from medicinal herbs like Primula veris and Primula elatior. The phenolic monoterpene thymol, one of the primary components of thyme oil, is found primarily in thyme plants. Both thymol and thyme essential oil have lengthy histories of usage in conventional medicine, particularly for their upper respiratory system-targeted expectorant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, and antiseptic properties. Historically, people have turned to the plant Althaea officinalis for help with treating respiratory issues, like cough. Officinalis extracts alone for dry cough therapy, while A. officinalis was more effective when combined with Zataria multiflora, Zingiber officinale, or Helix hedera. Furthermore, all types of coughs benefited from officinalis. One of the most popular types of herbal tea, known as a tisane, is peppermint, or Mentha piperita. Peppermint essential oil and tea made from the plant’s leaves have long histories of usage in alternative medicine. Some studies have found that peppermint may have antiallergenic properties in addition to its antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, and anticancer properties.

CONCLUSION. Cough is a persistent symptom of many acute and chronic illnesses. Primula veris, Thymus vulgaris, Althaea Officinalis, and Mentha piperita are some herbs used to treat cough. Cough patients can supplement their standard medical care with herbal remedies that contain these compounds.

Authors: G. Kavindu Subhash  
Published: July 2024

The song 'Picca Kekulu', composed by Sōmathilaka Dissānāyake with music composed by Rōhana Wīrasinghe, is a unique children's song that can be recognized in Sri Lankan music history. Kasturi Sūryakumār and Harshana Dissānāyake are the artists of this song. Accordingly, the primary objective of this study is to identify the facts related to national reconciliation depicted in the musical and literary content of this song. The research problem of this study is, 'How has the audio-visual content of the Piccha Kekulu song been used in depicting national reconciliation?'. For this study, audio-visual media was used as the primary source of data, with books, research papers, e-documents, and internet references as the secondary sources. The theory of Social Mobility and Bloomfield's Framework of Reconciliation were used as the theoretical framework. Accordingly, the aesthetic experience of this song reveals the concepts of long-term and short-term social change discussed in the theory of social mobility. In addition, according to the literary context of this song, the ideas of Horizontal- Downward Mobility related to the tsunami disaster are reflected. The basic experience of the song—the experiences associated with the tsunami disaster—has been used as a cultural bridge to reduce the Sinhala and Tamil cultural distance. The musical experience and creative musical usage of this song are a symbolic representation of national reconciliation. Bloomfield's program of reconciliation includes interpersonal elements such as emotion, acknowledgment, hearing, forging personal bonds, and building understanding, as well as national, social, and political facts such as minimal tolerance and democratic reconciliation are depicted from this song. Accordingly, it can be concluded that the above song is a powerful creation that promotes national reconciliation.

Potensi Dampak Lingkungan Pengelolaan Sampah Domestik di Industri Galangan Kapal dengan Metode Life Cycle Assessment
Authors: ENVIROUS Muhammad Ijlal Rafi , ENVIROUS Syadzadhiya Qotrunada Zakiyayasin Nisa 
Published: July 2024

Salah satu industri galangan kapal di Kota Surabaya menghasilkan sampah sebanyak 3 ton/hari. Saat ini, pengelolaan sampah yang dilakukan cenderung langsung dibuang ke wadah sementara tanpa dilakukan pemilahan sehingga menyebabkan sampah tercampur di TPS. Kurangnya proses pemisahan sampah berdasarkan komposisinya memengaruhi perubahan lingkungan karena proses pengelolaan dan pengolahan tidak dilakukan dengan seharusnya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui potensi dampak lingkungan dengan membandingkan tiga skenario daur ulang sampah yang berhubungan dengan proses pengolahan sampah menggunakan Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Proses analisis data menggunakan software OpenLCA dengan metode CML-IA Baseline. Terdapat satu skenario eksisting dan dua skenario alternatif pengelolaan sampah, yaitu pengomposan dan Anaerobic Digestion. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa skenario 1 (eksisting) memiliki bobot sebesar 1,05 x 10-10, skenario 2 sebesar 4,77 x 10-11, dan skenario 3 sebesar 6,62 x 10-11. Skenario 2 memiliki potensi dampak lingkungan yang kecil dilihat dari nilai pembobotannya yang rendah sehingga alternatif yang dapat dilakukan oleh industri galangan kapal adalah memilah sampah di sumbernya; melakukan pengomposan; mendistribusikan sampah untuk didaur ulang; serta mengumpulkan dan mengangkut sisa sampah yang ada ke TPA Benowo.
One of the shipyard industries in Surabaya City produces 3 ton of waste per day. At present, waste management tends to be disposed of directly into temporary containers without segregation, causing waste to mix at temporary landfill. The lack of a waste separation process based on its composition affects environmental changes because the management and processing are not carried out properly. The purpose of this study is to determine the potential environment impact by comparing three scenarios of waste recycling related to waste processing using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Data analysis process uses OpenLCA software with CML-IA Baseline method. There is one existing scenario and two alternative scenarios for waste management, namely composting and anaerobic digestion process. The result show that scenario 1 (existing) has a weight of 1,05 x 10-10, scenario 2 of 4,77 x 10-11, and scenario 3 of 6,62 x 10-11. Scenario 2 has a small potential environmental impact in terms of its low weighting value so that the alternative that can be applied in the shipyard industry is to sort waste at its source; composting; distributing waste to recycle; also collecting and hauling the rest of waste to Benowo Landfill.
