Pengaruh Model Pembelajaran Kooperatif Tipe Snowball Throwing terhadap Hasil Belajar Siswa Mata Pelajaran IPA Kelas V di Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Al-Mursyid Citeureup Bogor
Authors: Mursid Kiki Barkah , Suryana Agus , Sugiyanto Agus 
Published: September 2022

The learning activities carried out by the teachers at MI Al-Mursyid have been impressed that only active teachers. The teacher mostly uses the discussion method when learning takes place, but the discussion is still ineffective so that students tend to be passive in accepting the subject matter provided by the teacher. This results in student activity and learning outcomes to be very low. With this background, researchers are interested in examining whether there is an effect of the Snowball Throwing Cooperative Learning Model on Student Learning Outcomes. The research was conducted at MI Al-Mursyid, Citeureup District, Bogor Regency. The study population was 153 students while the sample was 20 people. Researchers used an experimental class, namely class V with a total of 20 students. The instrument used was a test to measure student learning outcomes in the form of a multiple choice test of 20 questions. The data analysis technique used is descriptive statistical analysis and inferential statistical analysis with t-test. Based on the results of the descriptive analysis, the average value obtained before applying the Snowball Throwing model was 57.60 for pretest and 81.55 for posttest. Based on the results of inferential statistical analysis t count 11.31 and t table 2.10. Because tcount> ttable (11.31> 2.10), then H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. So, it can be concluded that the accepted hypothesis is that the Snowball Throwing learning model in science learning has a significant effect on the learning outcomes of grade V students at MI Al-Mursyid.

“Hang in there mama!” The role of online parenting forums in maternal mental health
Authors: McSorley Lauren , Deighton-Smith Nova , Budds Kirsty , Wang Xu 
Published: September 2022

The perinatal period can be challenging and yet reluctance to disclose wellbeing concerns to health professionals is well documented. The current study sought to explore how women use online parenting forums to seek advice and support for maternal mental health concerns. Forum threads (N = 153) from a popular UK parenting website were analysed to explore postpartum mothers’ discussions about their maternal mental health. Through reflexive thematic analysis, four themes were generated: (1) Navigating the motherhood role: unprepared and overwhelmed; (2) “I’m struggling, but looking on here I know I’m no way alone!”; (3) Challenging feelings of failure: “it doesn’t make you a bad mother”; and (4) Forums facilitate help seeking. There were two main findings; first, forums may act as a potential solution in offering a supportive, reassuring community and safe space for disclosure around maternal mental health concerns. Furthermore, forums are beneficial in providing women with an honest, realistic view and expectation of motherhood, thus supporting their transition to parenthood. Consequently, forums could be utilised to inform training for healthcare professionals to understand disclosure barriers.
No secrets between the two of us: Privacy concerns over using AI agents.
Authors: Lim Sohye , Shim Hongjin 
Published: September 2022

The diverse spread of artificial intelligence (AI) agents provides evidence of the most notable changes in the current media landscape. AI agents mostly function based on voluntary and involuntary sharing of users’ personal information. Accordingly, users’ privacy concerns have become key to understanding the varied psychological responses towards AI agents. In this study, we adopt the “computers are social actors” paradigm to identify the association between a set of relational variables—intimacy, para-social interactions, and social presence—and privacy concerns and to determine whether a user’s motivations moderate this relationship. The results from an online survey (N = 562) revealed that this occurs primarily to gratify three AI agent user needs: entertainment motivation, instrumental motivation, and passing time. The results also confirmed that social presence and intimacy significantly influence users’ privacy concerns. These results support the moderating effect of both entertainment and instrumental motivation on the relationship between intimacy, para-social interaction, social presence, and privacy concerns about using AI agents. Further implications for privacy concerns in the context of AI-mediated communications are discussed.
Is that Insta worthy? Predicting content sharing behavior on social media through interpersonal goals
Authors: Toh Zena , Lee David S 
Published: September 2022

What motivates people to share contents that promote the image of the self versus the well-being of others on social media? Two studies examined how interpersonal goals, namely self-image goals and compassionate goals, influence intentions of sharing different contents on Instagram. According to research on interpersonal goals, self-image goals motivate people to maintain and demonstrate their desirable qualities to others; compassionate goals energize people to promote the well-being of others. Based on this research, we hypothesized that self-image goals (vs. compassionate goals) would propel people to have higher intentions to share contents that are self-promoting relatively more than contents that are prosocial. A correlational study that measured participants’ chronic (i.e., stable) interpersonal goals (Study 1; n = 126) and an experiment that manipulated participants’ incidental (i.e., momentary) interpersonal goals (Study 2; n = 201) confirmed these hypotheses. These results highlight the role of motivation in content sharing on social media and shed light on psychological mechanisms that help shape the social environment on Instagram.

Exploring a dialogic approach in tackling psychotic diseases: A systematic review
Authors: Fernández-Villardón Aitana , García-Carrión Rocío , Racionero-Plaza Sandra 
Published: September 2022

Psychosis is a severe mental disorder traditionally treated from a purely biological approach, which often has led to a dehumanisation in psychiatric hospitals. To counteract this trend and aiming at tackling the disease with a more human approach, psychosocial interventions have increased. In this vein, interventions based on a dialogic approach, with specific features such as egalitarian dialogue, foster psychological and social transformations in different contexts. This review aims to analyse the clinical and social effects of psychological interventions based on these principles when treating patients with psychosis. A systematic review has been carried out, following PRISMA recommendations, in the Web of Science, Scopus and PsycInfo databases. After applying the inclusion criteria, thirteen empirical studies were selected and analysed, including a quality assessment. These studies show that when introducing a dialogic approach in treating psychosis, positive clinical and relational outcomes are obtained. Likewise, patients value positively these collaborative environments, where they feel listened and understood. Whereas dialogism emerges as a tool with potential benefits to tackle psychosis, more studies are needed to clearer determine the influence of specific dialogic features on improving psychotic patients’ mental health.
La psicosis es un trastorno mental grave que tradicionalmente se ha tratado desde un enfoque puramente biológico, lo que a menudo ha conllevado una deshumanización en los hospitales psiquiátricos. Con el fin de contrarrestar esta tendencia y con el objetivo de abordar la enfermedad desde enfoque más humano, las intervenciones psicosociales han aumentado. En esta línea, las intervenciones basadas en un enfoque dialógico, con características específicas como el diálogo igualitario, fomentan transformaciones psicológicas y sociales en diferentes contextos. Esta revisión pretende analizar el impacto clínico y social de las intervenciones psicológicas basadas en principios dialógicos en pacientes con psicosis. Se ha realizado una revisión sistemática, siguiendo las recomendaciones PRISMA, en las bases de datos Web of Science, Scopus y PsycInfo. Tras aplicar los criterios de inclusión, se seleccionaron y analizaron trece estudios empíricos, además, se ha incluido una evaluación de la calidad de dichos estudios. Estos estudios muestran que, al incorporar un enfoque dialógico en el tratamiento de la psicosis, se obtienen resultados clínicos y relacionales positivos. De la misma manera, los pacientes valoran positivamente estos entornos de colaboración, donde se sienten escuchados y comprendidos. Aunque el dialogismo emerge como una herramienta eficaz para abordar la psicosis, se necesitan más estudios para determinar con mayor claridad la influencia de características dialógicas específicas en la salud mental de los pacientes.

Kisan Credit Card scheme is a very important institutional credit source in India. The study was conducted with time series data from the year 1999 to 2019 in order to work out the growth patterns in the number of Kisan Credit Cards (KCCs) issued and the amount sanctioned under KCC. Compound annual growth rate and coefficient of variation were calculated in order to better understand fluctuations in the number of KCCs issued and the amount sanctioned year by year. This research assessed the progress of the Kisan Credit Card scheme in Haryana. Also, the amount sanctioned under the Kisan Credit Card scheme was found progressive during 1999-2019. The number of cards issued in Haryana attributed to a growth rate of more than 3.05 percent per annum and the amount sanctioned under the KCC scheme accounted for a growth rate of 8.2 percent annually. In Haryana among the various agencies, commercial banks, and RRBs showed a positive growth rate while co-operative banks exhibited a negative growth rate during 1999-2019. The annual growth rates for a number of Kisan Credit Cards issued by commercial banks, regional rural banks, and co-operative banks were 9.6, 12.26, and -10.38 percent, respectively. The growth rates for the amount sanctioned under the KCC scheme were found to be 16, 12.26, and -13.8 percent annum. Progress of KCC was found quite uniform in selected districts of three zones of Haryana during 1999-2019. The compound growth rates for the number of cards issued were found to be 20.73, 18.82, and 18.67 percent in Karnal, Hisar, and Jhajjar districts, respectively. The year-wise, agency-wise, and zone-wise progress for the number of KCCs issued in the state has been quite impressive which is near to average of all of India.

Published: September 2022

The main objective of this research is to investigate experimentally the viability and effectiveness of the proposed ferrocement permanent forms and the effect of the test parameters on the behavior of the reinforced concrete ferrocement beams. And investigate the viability of using lightweight materials for the core with the aim of producing light weight structural system. The experimental program comprised casting and testing of eleven reinforced concrete beams of dimensions 200x100x2000mm.These beams are organized in four groups. Group one is the control group in which beams are cast using ordinary formwork and ferrocement. The beams in this group were reinforced with two steel bars of 10 mm at the top and12mm bottom of the beams. The beams in the other three groups were cast using Ferrocement beams. The core of these beams was reinforced with two steel bars of 10 mm diameter at the top and12 mm bottom of the beam. Two types of steel mesh used to reinforce the ferrocement beams namely expanded steel mesh, and welded wires mesh. Single mesh and double layers consisting of mesh together with a strip steel mesh were studied. Three types of core material were investigated: light brick, foam, and light weight concrete admixture with perlite. The test specimens were cast and tested until they failed under flexure load. The performance of the test beams in terms of strength, cracking behavior, ductility, and energy absorption properties was investigated. The use double layer of expanded steel mesh as the additional reinforcement of the main steel can achieved the best performance of the Light weight of ferrocement beams. The results of this research showed that ferrocement beams of light weight cores may be promising as an alternative to conventional beams and may be viable alternatives especially for low-cost residential buildings.
Chromate Reduction in Shewanellaoneidensis MR‐1 Is an Inducible Process Associated with Anaerobic Growth
Authors: Viamajala Sridhar , Peyton Brent M. , Apel William A. , Petersen James N. 
Published: July 2002

AbstractCr(VI) reduction was observed during tests with Shewanella oneidensis MR‐1 (previously named S. putrefaciens MR‐1) while being grown with nitrate or fumarate as electron acceptor and lactate as electron donor. From the onset of anoxic growth on fumarate, we measured a gradual and progressive increase in the specific Cr(VI) reduction rate with incubation time until a maximum was reached at late exponential/early stationary phase. Under denitrifying conditions, the specific Cr(VI) reduction rate was inhibited by nitrite, which is produced during nitrate reduction. However, once nitrite was consumed, the specific reduction rate increased until a maximum was reached, again during the late exponential/early stationary phase. Thus, under both fumarate‐ and nitrate‐reducing conditions, an increase in the specific Cr(VI) reduction rate was observed as the microorganisms transition from oxic to anoxic growth conditions, presumably as a result of induction of enzyme systems capable of reducing Cr(VI). Although Cr(VI) reduction has been studied in MR‐1 and in other facultative bacteria under both oxic and anoxic conditions, a transition in specific reduction rates based on physiological conditions during growth is a novel finding. Such physiological responses provide information required for optimizing the operation of in situ systems for remediating groundwater contaminated with heavy metals and radionuclides, especially those that are characterized by temporal variations in oxygen content. Moreover, such information may point the way to a better understanding of the cellular processes used by soil bacteria to accomplish Cr(VI) reduction.
Field Gradient Focusing: A Novel Method for Protein Separation
Authors: Koegler Wendy S. , Ivory Cornelius F. 
Published: July 2002

AbstractEquilibrium gradient techniques constitute a class of separation methods that combine the steps of separation and concentration by using a gradient in one or more counteracting forces to create a stable equilibrium point at which a protein can focus. Different proteins focus at different equilibrium points, creating a steady‐state distribution of isolated proteins. Equilibrium gradient techniques can be adapted to a specific separation by choosing appropriate counteracting forces based on differences in the physical properties of the proteins involved. Zone electric field gradient focusing (FGF) is a new addition to this class of separation techniques with the unique property of using a gradient in the electric field to establish an equilibrium point instead of using a gradient in the velocity or pH. This paper presents two mathematical models which can be used to predict the steady‐state concentration profiles obtained by zone electric field gradient focusing. The first model applies only at very low protein concentrations where nonlinear effects can be ignored, e.g., less than 1 mg/mL, but it can be solved analytically and is useful in understanding the basic principles engendered in the method. The second model applies at all concentrations and allows for variations in the electric field strength where the protein focuses, but requires numerical solution. The design of an experimental device is also reported, as well as the results of two experiments: (1) the focusing of the protein hemoglobin from a dilute solution and (2) the separation of different oxidation states of the protein myoglobin.
Solid State Fermentation of Lignocellulosic Waste for Cellulase and β‐Glucosidase Production by Cocultivation ofAspergillus ellipticusand Aspergillus fumigatus
Authors: Gupte Akshaya , Madamwar Datta 
Published: July 2002

AbstractLignocellulosic wastes available in abundance can be excellent substrates for the production of cellulase and β‐glucosidase enzymes by solid state fermentation (SSF) . A cellulase system, showing enhanced hydrolytic potential and β‐glucosidase under SSF, was obtained by cocultivation of Aspergillus ellipticus and Aspergillus fumigatus. Different types of substrates and various pretreatments were used to improve hydrolytic process. Among the various substrates examined, sugarcane bagasse gave the highest activity and 2% calcium hydroxide treatment was found to be the most favorable treatment for the enzyme production. The maximum enzyme production was obtained on the eighth day of the fermentation process.
Inverse Flux Analysis for Reduction of Acetate Excretion in Escherichia coli
Authors: Delgado Javier , Liao James C. 
Published: July 2002

AbstractThe determination of intracellular fluxes from the measurement of extracellular rates, a technique known as flux analysis, has been used successfully on several systems important to biotechnology. However, calculation of intracellular fluxes does not directly suggest ways to improve the performance of the cell. Here, we introduce a variation of this analysis, termed inverse flux analysis, which allows the prediction of the flux distribution as a function of manipulable internal fluxes. This approach is applied to analyze the acetate excretion problem commonly observed in aerobic Escherichia coli cultures. The effect of manipulating each flux is quantified by a flux distribution sensitivity coefficient, which is dependent on the stoichiometry. For the acetate excretion problem, our results suggest that the anaplerotic pathways, including the reactions catalyzed by phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and the glyoxylate bypass are the best choices for manipulating acetate excretion in E.coli. Increasing the anaplerotic flux will decrease acetate production while increasing the growth yield.

Platelet recovery after allogeneic haemopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and predictive factors were analysed in 342 patients with haematological malignancies. All patients were prepared with cyclophosphamide plus total body irradiation, and received an unmanipulated HSCT from an HLA‐identical sibling (n = 270), a matched unrelated donor (n = 67) or an identical twin (n = 5). The source of stem cells was peripheral blood (n = 15) or bone marrow (n = 327). Graft‐vs.‐host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis consisted of cyclosporin A with or without methotrexate. The proportion of patients with < 50 × 109/l platelets on d +50, d +100, d +200 and d +365 after HSCT was 26%, 27%, 14% and 11% respectively. Thrombocytopenia was independent of the degree of complete donor chimaerism. Four variables were predictive of platelet recovery: donor type, acute GvHD, cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and number of cells infused at transplant. Recipients of an unrelated graft had lower platelet counts (49 × 109/l) on d +50 than identical sibling grafts (108 × 109/l) (P < 0·001) and twin grafts (149 × 109/l) (P < 0·001). Patients with GvHD grades 0, I, II, III and IV had significantly different platelet counts on d +50 (153 × 109/l, 102 × 109/l, 85 × 109/l, 32 × 109/l and 22 × 109/l; P < 0·001) and thereafter. Thrombocytopenia was more frequent in patients with high‐level CMV antigenaemia (> four positive cells/2 × 105) (P < 0·0001) and in patients who received a low cell dose at transplant (≤ 4·1 × 108/kg) (P = 0·009). Platelet counts predicted transplant‐related mortality (TRM) and were higher at all time intervals in patients surviving the transplant. Patients with grade II GvHD and > 50 × 109/l platelets had a lower TRM than patients with grade II GvHD and ≤ 50 × 109/l platelets (14% vs. 40%, P < 0·0001).In conclusion, (i) a significant proportion of allogeneic HSCT recipients are thrombocytopenic long‐term, irrespective of complete donor chimaerism, (ii) thrombocytopenia identifies patients at greater risk of lethal complications, and (iii) platelet recovery is influenced by GvHD, donor type, CMV infections and cell dose, not by stem cell source or other patient–disease‐related variables.
