Pengaruh Model Kooperatif Tipe Think Pair Share Terhadap Partisipasi Dan Hasil Belajar Kimia

Purposes of this research were to determine differences of participation and learning outcomes beetwen students were taught using TPS Cooperative learning model and conventional method and effect of applying TPS Cooperative learning model toward learning outcomes redox materials X Grade in High School of St. Francis of Assisi Pontianak. Quasi-experimental with nonequivalent control group design was used as research method. The sample were students X E as control class and X D as experimental class that were determined with purpossive sampling technique. Participation were analyzed using Independent Samples T-test and outcomes learning using U-Mann Whitney. The result of data analysis showed that there were differences participation and learning outcomes beetwen students were taught using cooperatif learning model TPS type and conventional method. TPS Cooperative learning model give effect in the amount of 26.11% on increasing students learning outcomes

Characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 patients admitted to hospital with and without respiratory symptoms

Background: COVID-19 is primarily known as a respiratory illness; however, many patients present to hospital without respiratory symptoms. The association between non-respiratory presentations of COVID-19 and outcomes remains unclear. We investigated risk factors and clinical outcomes in patients with no respiratory symptoms (NRS) and respiratory symptoms (RS) at hospital admission. Methods: This study describes clinical features, physiological parameters, and outcomes of hospitalised COVID-19 patients, stratified by the presence or absence of respiratory symptoms at hospital admission. RS patients had one or more of: cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, runny nose or wheezing; while NRS patients did not. Results: Of 178,640 patients in the study, 86.4 % presented with RS, while 13.6 % had NRS. NRS patients were older (median age: NRS: 74 vs RS: 65) and less likely to be admitted to the ICU (NRS: 36.7 % vs RS: 37.5 %). NRS patients had a higher crude in-hospital case-fatality ratio (NRS 41.1 % vs. RS 32.0 %), but a lower risk of death after adjusting for confounders (HR 0.88 [0.83-0.93]). Conclusion: Approximately one in seven COVID-19 patients presented at hospital admission without respiratory symptoms. These patients were older, had lower ICU admission rates, and had a lower risk of in-hospital mortality after adjusting for confounders
