HAMBATAN DAN TANTANGAN DALAM PENYELENGGARAAN PENDIDIKAN DASAR DI KABUPATEN BIAK NUMFOR PROVINSI PAPUA DI ERA OTONOMI KHUSUS PAPUA

Hambatan dan Tantangan Profil Penyelenggaraan Pendidikan Kabupaten Biak-Numfor di Era Otonomi Khusus Papua merupakan salah satu kajian yang dilakukan di Kabupaten Biak Numfor Provinsi Papua. Populasi dan sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah tokoh-tokoh kunci yang mengetahui perkembangan pendidikan di kabupaten Biak-Numfor, seperti Kepala Dinas Pendidikan Kabupaten Biak-Numfor,Ketua dan staf Bappeda Biak-Numfor, pengawas dan guru senior yang dipandang penulis memahami situasi dan perkembangan pendidikan di Kabupaten Biak-Numfor. Selain hasil wawancara, penulis juga melengkapi penelitian ini dengan merujuk data sekunder berupa publikasi dari badan pusat statistik setempat sebagai acuan tambahan menganalisis data.Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif. Metode ini dipilih karena penelitian ini lebih banyak dielaborasi dari informasi yang diperoleh dari para informan kunci yang diwawancarai.Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ada potensi daerah berupa sumber alam dan sumber daya manusia di daerah Biak Numfor yang kurang dimaksimalkan dalam pengembangan bidang pendidikan di kabupaten ini sehingga menimbulkan kendala dalam pengelolaan bidang pendididikan. Seperti, kurangnya guru di berbagai jenjang pendidikan, kurangnya, peningkatan kompetensi guru, rendahnya kesejahteraan guru, lemahnya pengawasan terhadap perkembangan pendidikan di setiap jenjang pendidikan, kurangnya dukungan masyarakat, terbatasnya dukungan sarana dan prasarana pendidikan, pembangunan fisik sekolah yang lebih banyak dari peserta didik, minimnya koordinasi antara pusat

Analisis Perilaku Masyarakat Muslim terhadap Penggunaan Kartu Kredit di Kota Medan

This research was conducted aiming to determine how a Muslim to use a credit card in the City of Medan. In this research, the problems research, namely: How does the behavior of the Muslim of public towards the use of credit cards in the City of Medan - What are the booster of the Muslim of public in the City of Medan decided to use a credit card - Whether a relationship between the among the many places of modern shopping behavior of the Muslim of pulic in the use of credit cards in the City of Medan. The method used in this research is the analysis method descriptive. Engineering data was collected by interview and questionnaires were distributed to Muslim of public in the City of Medan with a total sample of 60 people. After the data are collected, then the authors calculate and add up the total response of all respondents surveyed, to be in percentages (%) in order to draw conclusions.From the results of this research concluded that the majority of the Muslim of public in the City of Medan to use a credit card only as needed, although most of those who use them fixed answering, if a credit card can make a person's nature to lead to wasteful or consumptive behaviors. Flexibility and practicality credit card to make the payment process which, being the strongest reason for the people of Medan Muslims to own and use a credit card

Tantangan Guru dalam Penggunaan Metode Pembelajaran Jarak Jauh (PJJ)

Istilah Work From Home (WFH), dan Study From Home (SFH) muncul disaat Pandemi Covid-19. Istilah-istilah tersebut terintegral dengan protokol kesehatan dari Covid-19. Dengan disesuaikan dengan protokol Covid-19 model dan metode pembelajaran ikut berubah. Model E-Learning dan metode Pembelajaran Jarak Jauh (PJJ) diterapkan di Indonesia. Metode belajar yang disesuaikan dengan protokol kesehatan ini tentu sangat dekat dengan kurikulum literasi baru. Karena dalam metode PJJ guru dan siswa memanfaatkan jaringan internet dalam proses pembelajaran. Metode yang dipakai dalam penelitian ini yaitu penelitian kepustakan (Pustaka Librari ) dan dari hasil studi literatur di Indonesia, guru memiliki hambatan yang sangat signifikan dalam mentrasfomasikan pengetahuan ke peserta didik (siswa). Masih terdapat daerah yang minim infrastruktur teknologi, jaringan internet, dan listrik yang menghambat guru. Bahkan kuota internet menjadi kendala siswa. Hambatan-hambatan tersebut membuat pelaksanaan Pembelajaran Jarak Jauh (PJJ) tidak efekti

Defining the genomic signature of the parous breast.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: It is accepted that a woman's lifetime risk of developing breast cancer after menopause is reduced by early full term pregnancy and multiparity. This phenomenon is thought to be associated with the development and differentiation of the breast during pregnancy. METHODS: In order to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms of pregnancy induced breast cancer protection, we profiled and compared the transcriptomes of normal breast tissue biopsies from 71 parous (P) and 42 nulliparous (NP) healthy postmenopausal women using Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 arrays. To validate the results, we performed real time PCR and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: We identified 305 differentially expressed probesets (208 distinct genes). Of these, 267 probesets were up- and 38 down-regulated in parous breast samples; bioinformatics analysis using gene ontology enrichment revealed that up-regulated genes in the parous breast represented biological processes involving differentiation and development, anchoring of epithelial cells to the basement membrane, hemidesmosome and cell-substrate junction assembly, mRNA and RNA metabolic processes and RNA splicing machinery. The down-regulated genes represented biological processes that comprised cell proliferation, regulation of IGF-like growth factor receptor signaling, somatic stem cell maintenance, muscle cell differentiation and apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that the differentiation of the breast imprints a genomic signature that is centered in the mRNA processing reactome. These findings indicate that pregnancy may induce a safeguard mechanism at post-transcriptional level that maintains the fidelity of the transcriptional process

The Structure of Hyperalkaline Aqueous Solutions Containing High Concentrations of Gallium - a Solution X-ray Diffraction and Computational Study

Highly concentrated alkaline NaOH/Ga(OH)3 solutions with 1.18 M Ga(III)T 2.32 M and 2.4 M NaOHT 4.9 M (where the subscript T denotes total or analytical concentrations) have been prepared and investigated by solution X-ray diffraction and also by ab initio quantum chemical calculations. The data obtained are consistent with the presence of only one predominant Ga(III)-bearing species in these solutions, that is the tetrahedral hydroxo complex Ga(OH)4–. This finding is in stark contrast to that found for Al(III)-containing solutions of similar concentrations, in which, besides the monomeric complex, an oxo-bridged dimer was also found to form. From the solution X-ray diffraction measurements, the formation of the dimeric (OH)3Ga–O–Ga(OH)32– could not unambiguously be shown, however, from the comparison of experimental IR, Raman and 71Ga NMR spectra with calculated ones, its formation can be safely excluded. Moreover, higher mononuclear stepwise hydroxo complexes, like Ga(OH)63–, that have been claimed to exist by others in the literature, was not possible to experimentally detect in these solutions with any of the spectroscopic techniques used
