Pengaruh Model Inkuiri Terbimbing dan Keterampilan Proses Sains terhadap Hasil Belajar Kognitif Siswa pada Mata Pelajaran IPA
This study aims to determine whether the influence of guided inquiry learning models and pro-science skills on the cognitive learning outcomes of grade V science students. This type of research is Quasi-Experimental research with a research design using T treatment by Level 2x2. The population in this study were grade V students of elementary school. This research instrument is a multiple-choice test with a total of 20 questions. Data processing techniques and data analysis are descriptive statistics and infrencial statistics with SPSS 22. The data analysis results show significant differences in student cognitive learning outcomes with guided inquiry methods and science process skills, namely sig. = 0.000 < 0.05, meaning that there are differences in learning outcomes taught by guided inquiry (experimental class) with student learning outcomes taught by conventional approaches (control classes). Furthermore, there is an interaction caused between the use of guided inquiry methods by looking at the level of skills of the student's science process towards the cognitive learning outcomes. This can also be proven from the hypothesis test results, namely with a value of sig. = 0.000 < 0.05 means that there is a significant interaction between the use of guided inquiry and the skill level of the student's science process to influence the cognitive learning outcomes of students together. The conclusion of this study is that there is no significant interaction between science process skills and learning outcomes. The cognitive learning outcomes of students who were taught using the guided inquiry learning model were higher than those taught using the conventional learning model for students with low science process skills.

Infusing Local Tradition Values into School Culture: How Indonesian Islamic School Set Up Character Education?
The purpose of this study is to reveal the internalization of the maja labo dahu values in character education. The method used is a case study with a qualitative approach. The determination of the research subject is carried out by purposive technique consisting of students and people in MTs Negeri 1 Bima. The sources of data are oral sources, artifacts, documents, and written records. Data are collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data validity test is carried out by using triangulation. Data are analyzed by using qualitative analysis techniques of interaction model with steps of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The results showed that the values of the maja labo dahu are in accordance with the values in character education, namely religious values, honesty, discipline, independence, patriotism, and environmental awareness. Besides, these values have effectively provided moral knowledge to students. The constraints experienced by schools in internalizing these values in character education are the lack of consistency of students parents or the surrounding environment in supporting and developing the cultural values of the maja labo dahu
A Conceptualised Approach towards Building a Growth Model for Venture Capitalists Financing of TBFs
The purpose of this study is to develop a
conceptual framework towards building a model for venture
capitalists to evaluate investments in technology based firms,
considering them from their growth stage. Fast growth
entrepreneurs need this model to determine the right investors
to approach, since not all specialize in funding early stage high
risk companies. Previous studies revealed that major problems
TBF owners face is identifying financial institutions to
approach for funding, and what criteria that financial
institutions used to evaluate the technologies? And also, several
capital are lying idle with retired and successful individuals who
also encounter difficulty of identifying the right companies to
fund, because they do not possess the requisite skills to evaluate
businesses based on their proposals. Past research have failed
to represent the growth stages of the TBFs in a model such as
this, which makes it easier for interest parties to adopt when
evaluating thousands of business proposals, though they all
mentioned the various growth stages except the Death stage
mentioned in this study. Literature review is from secondary
sources such as journals, textbooks, e-journals, websites,
newspaper articles, online materials, personal discussions with
colleagues. The findings of this study are important because it
contributes more insights to the academic research of financing
technology based firms, and call for further research on
presenting the growth stages using graphical approach.
Furthermore, the result of this research will be useful to link theory to practice
An Investment Framework To Help Equity Financiers Select Tech SMEs In Malaysia
The research is geared towards understanding the development cycle of technology based
companies especially in the small and medium sized sector and refer to a model to help private
investors in Malaysia evaluate business proposals to make funding decisions. There is always
confusión when technology entrepreneurs want to evaluate the right investors to approach for
fund, becuase not all specialize in funding start-ups and risky ventures. Indept investigation of
past research indicates that not much have been written on venture capital financing of small and
medium sized companies in Malaysia, and this work aims to shed more light and to add to
literature on venture capital. Past research have failed to recommend appropriate and a simplified
framework for growth firms.However, there is need to understand the relationship between
investment evaluation criteria and the development cycle.The research focusses on secondary
sources available from literatures on venture capital activities. Findings from this research will
be of interest to investors, investees, academics and government
Reuse of nesting scrapes by Kentish Plovers
We studied reuse of nesting scrapes within breeding seasons by Kentish Plovers (Charadrius alexandrinus) in an inland lake of southern Spain over six years. Overall, 5.6% of original nests were reused at least once. We tested whether nest reuse is adaptive, but found no differences in breeding success between those pairs that reused nests and those that did not. We also tested whether nest reuse should be more frequent when scrapes are difficult to excavate than when it is easier to excavate them, and found that nests on hard substrates were more frequently reused than nests on soft substrates, and that nest reuse was more frequent in the second half of the season, when the nesting substrate is harder, than in the first half of the season. This suggests that nest reuse may save Kentish Plovers some energy.Peer Reviewe
Problem Solving Profile of Class IX Junior High School Students Viewed from Spatial Visual Intelligence on Building Materials Room
The purpose of this study was to obtain a description of the problem-solving grade IX SMP Labschool UNTAD Palu in problem-solving solid figures in terms of visual-spatial intelligence. This study used a qualitative method that is based on the problem-solving steps proposed by Polya. The results showed at the stage of understanding the problem (1) student of high visual-spatial intelligence was drawn objects contained in the problem and make an example at the points in the image according to their own understanding to identify the information contained in the problem. As well as these students can mention all the information that exists correctly. (2) student of mid visual spatial intelligence was to draw objects in the problem to identify information contained in the problem. As well as these students can mention all the information that exists correctly. (3) student of low visual spatial intelligence can mention all the information that exists correctly. At the stage of making a plan (1) student of high visual spatial intelligence prefer shorter and less common strategies to solve problems, namely to find the area of all upright sides in the pyramid and add to the area of the beam without a roof. (2) student of mid visual spatial intelligence are choosing a very common strategy for solving problems, namely looking for the surface area of the beam, adding it to the surface area of the pyramid. Then the sum of results will be reduced by the area of the base of the pyramid and the area of the roof of the beam. (3) student of low visual spatial intelligence experience difficulties and are incomplete in determining problem solving strategies. At the stage of carrying out the plan (1) student of visual spatial intelligence can implement strategies to solve problems correctly. (2) student of mid visual spatial intelligence are able to apply strategies to solve problems correctly. (3) student of low visual spatial intelligence experience difficulties when working on problems and cannot solve problems correctly. At the stage of looking back (1) student of high visual spatial intelligence is very thorough in re-examining the work step by step and reexamining the results that have been obtained. Student believe the truth of the answer by recalculating and concluding the results obtained correctly. (2) student of mid visual spatial intelligence is not re-examining the results that have been obtained because they have believed the truth of the answer. (3) student of low visual spatial intelligence do not re-examine the results that have been obtained because of doubt
Functional rare males in diploid parthenogenetic Artemia
Functional males that are produced occasionally in some asexual taxa - called 'rare males' - raise considerable evolutionary interest, as they might be involved in the origin of new parthenogenetic lineages. Diploid parthenogenetic Artemia produce rare males, which may retain the ability to mate with females of related sexual lineages. Here, we (i) describe the frequency of male progeny in populations of diploid parthenogenetic Artemia, (ii) characterize rare males morphologically, (iii) assess their reproductive role, using cross-mating experiments with sexual females of related species from Central Asia and characterize the F1 hybrid offspring viability and (iv) confirm genetically both the identity and functionality of rare males using DNA barcoding and microsatellite loci. Our result suggests that these males may have an evolutionary role through genetic exchange with related sexual species and that diploid parthenogenetic Artemia is a good model system to investigate the evolutionary transitions between sexual species and parthenogenetic strains. © 2013 European Society For Evolutionary Biology
