    English especially in Indonesia is still considered a foreign language. This presumption makes English undeveloped in Indonesia. Even the students of senior high school that have obtained English subject since they are at junior high school are not able to master English properly and correctly because there are many errors they produce. In this research, two research questions are formulated as follows: (1) What kinds of errors are produced by senior high school students in Bojonegoro? (2) What factors cause the students to produce those errors? The researcher then puts some objectives as follows: (1) To find out what kinds of errors are produced by senior high school students in Bojonegoro? (2) To identify what factors cause the students to produce those errors? The research design which is used by the researcher is a quantitative approach, through a survey method. The results of this research show that from 84 respondents that are taken from 3 different senior high schools in Bojonegoro have tendency to produce English errors which are related to Morpho-Syntactic Errors as much as 71.4%. Then factors which cause a large number of errors are owing to Intralingual errors as much as 59.5%, namely because there is presumption in their mind that English is very difficult to study

    A study has been conducted on influences of various chitosan concentrationas coating and storage time to Vitamin C concentration of green grape (Vitis vinifera L.) by dipping method. This study aims to de-termine the difference of chitosan concentration to physical characteristics, weight loss and vitamin C concen-tration of green grape. Chitosan coating was conducted on 50 grams of green grape by dipping method at var-ious concentration of chitosan that is 0%, 0,5%, 1%, 1,5% and 2% (w / v), kept on variation of one, four and seven day storage time. Determination of vitamin C concentration of green grape was done by UV-Vis spec-trophotometer measured at 256 nm wavelength with regression equation y = 0,0344 x + 0,101 and r = 0,998. Based on statistical test showed that chitosan concentration of 1% (w / v) with 4 days storage time is the most optimum because the chitosan layer is able to close all green grape pores, so the process of anaerobic and CO2 respiration can be inhibited by chitosan solution

    The Covid-19 pandemic crisis has dealt a severe blow to the Indonesian economy, especially the informal sector that driven by small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The implementation of physical and social distancing as part of a health protocol to overcome the pandemic forces food and beverage SMEs to adjust its product quality and service provision based on these standards and become more consumer-oriented. It is relevant to changing consumer lifestyles, which prioritize hygiene and product benefits for health. To adapt to this situation, SMEs are also required to adjust business models that support work flexibility, collaborative teamwork, and organize workplaces with incremental and iterative work sequences to achieve constant developing changes and help them to achieve their goals more effectively. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the process of adaptation of business models in food and beverage SMEs in Surabaya to the Covid-19 pandemic crisis

    Menumbuhkan kesadaran masyarakat untuk hidup bersih dan bebas dari sampah merupakan cita -cita kita bersama, tidak hanya masyarakat yang berada di daerah perkotaan tetapi juga masyarakat yang ada di pedesaan. Kurangnya pengetahuan dan kesadaran masyarakat Desa Jeringo akan pentignya menjaga lingkungan, dan bagaimana cara mengelola sampah, dapat dilihat dari masih banyaknya warga Desa Jeringo yang membuang sampah di kebun bahkan disungai, serta kurangnya tempat pembuangan sampah di rumah – rumah ataupun ditempat umum. Untuk menumbuhkan kesadaran masyarakat tentang peduli lingkungan, membutuhkan edukasi yang harus dilakukan secara terus menerus, agar dapat merubah kebiasaan dan pola pikir masyarakat. Pengabdian ini bertujuan menumbuhkan kesadaran masyarakat untuk membuang sampah pada tempatnya serta mensosialisasikan cara pembuatan tempat sampah dari ban bekas. Bentuk kegiatan berupa sosialisasi mengenai kebersihan lingkungan dan mengadakan pelatihan kepada masyarakat untuk membuat tempat sampah dari barang – barang yang ada disekeliling kita yang sudah tidak terpakai salah satunya menggunakan ban bekas. Hasil dari kegiatan adalah bertambahnya pengetahuan masyarakat terhadap pentingnya menjaga kebersihan lingkungan melalui pemanfaatan tempat sampah yang telah dibuat dilihat dari lingkungan tempat tinggal yang sudah bebas dari sampah, serta kemampuan masyarakat dalam membuat sendiri tempat sampah dari ban bekas

    Thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications of COVID-19 in adults hospitalized in high-income countries compared with those in adults hospitalized in low- and middle-income countries in an international registry

    Background: COVID-19 has been associated with a broad range of thromboembolic, ischemic, and hemorrhagic complications (coagulopathy complications). Most studies have focused on patients with severe disease from high-income countries (HICs). Objectives: The main aims were to compare the frequency of coagulopathy complications in developing countries (low- and middle-income countries [LMICs]) with those in HICs, delineate the frequency across a range of treatment levels, and determine associations with in-hospital mortality. Methods: Adult patients enrolled in an observational, multinational registry, the International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infections COVID-19 study, between January 1, 2020, and September 15, 2021, met inclusion criteria, including admission to a hospital for laboratory-confirmed, acute COVID-19 and data on complications and survival. The advanced-treatment cohort received care, such as admission to the intensive care unit, mechanical ventilation, or inotropes or vasopressors; the basic-treatment cohort did not receive any of these interventions. Results: The study population included 495,682 patients from 52 countries, with 63% from LMICs and 85% in the basic treatment cohort. The frequency of coagulopathy complications was higher in HICs (0.76%-3.4%) than in LMICs (0.09%-1.22%). Complications were more frequent in the advanced-treatment cohort than in the basic-treatment cohort. Coagulopathy complications were associated with increased in-hospital mortality (odds ratio, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.52-1.64). The increased mortality associated with these complications was higher in LMICs (58.5%) than in HICs (35.4%). After controlling for coagulopathy complications, treatment intensity, and multiple other factors, the mortality was higher among patients in LMICs than among patients in HICs (odds ratio, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.39-1.51). Conclusion: In a large, international registry of patients hospitalized for COVID-19, coagulopathy complications were more frequent in HICs than in LMICs (developing countries). Increased mortality associated with coagulopathy complications was of a greater magnitude among patients in LMICs. Additional research is needed regarding timely diagnosis of and intervention for coagulation derangements associated with COVID-19, particularly for limited-resource settings

    Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been identified as one of the most common and significant problems in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. However, studies examining the relationship between COVID-19 and AKI in low- and low-middle income countries (LLMIC) are lacking. Given that AKI is known to carry a higher mortality rate in these countries, it is important to understand differences in this population. Methods: This prospective, observational study examines the AKI incidence and characteristics of 32,210 patients with COVID-19 from 49 countries across all income levels who were admitted to an intensive care unit during their hospital stay. Results: Among patients with COVID-19 admitted to the intensive care unit, AKI incidence was highest in patients in LLMIC, followed by patients in upper-middle income countries (UMIC) and high-income countries (HIC) (53%, 38%, and 30%, respectively), whereas dialysis rates were lowest among patients with AKI from LLMIC and highest among those from HIC (27% vs. 45%). Patients with AKI in LLMIC had the largest proportion of community-acquired AKI (CA-AKI) and highest rate of in-hospital death (79% vs. 54% in HIC and 66% in UMIC). The association between AKI, being from LLMIC and in-hospital death persisted even after adjusting for disease severity. Conclusions: AKI is a particularly devastating complication of COVID-19 among patients from poorer nations where the gaps in accessibility and quality of healthcare delivery have a major impact on patient outcomes
