Pharmacy Students Learning Styles and Preferences toward Teaching Methods in Learning Pharmaceutical Care Concept
The paradigm concerning the role of pharmacist has shifted from supplying drugs to providing pharmaceutical care services.1 Pharmacy faculties have responsibility to develop a curriculum that enables pharmacy students to provide pharmaceutical care services. Pharmaceutical care is provided by identifying, solving and preventing drug-related problems in patients.2 There is a need to use alternative teaching methods to aid the students develop abilities for providing pharmaceutical care. Some research has demonstrated an association between preference toward certain teaching methods and individual s learning style.3 Learning style is the process by which an individual obtains their knowledge or skills.4 Understanding pharmacy students learning style will support educators to facilitate learning process by applying appropriate teaching methods.
The purpose of the study was to describe pharmacy students learning style and preferences toward some teaching methods in learning Pharmaceutical Care Concept.
The study was a survey using questionnaire that consisted of two parts. Part one was Kolb s Learning Style Inventory to assess students learning styles and second part were statements of four teaching methods to know students preferences. The questionnaire was given to 4th year pharmacy students registered in Clinical Pharmacy II course. In Clinical Pharmacy II course students were taught to identify and solve drug-related problems as a component of pharmaceutical care services. After completed the questionnaire, students were asked to choose their preferences toward four teaching methods.
The study surveyed 63 pharmacy students. There were 11 incomplete questionnaires excluded from analysis. The characteristic of students surveyed is described in Table I. The students’ learning styles and preferences are described in Table II. Of the 52 students, the largest group was Assimilators (52%). The remaining students were divided among other three learning styles (23% Divergers, 21% Convergers, and 4% Accommodators). All Accommodator preferred case study as their teaching method. Lecturing was the most preferred teaching method for Divergers and Assimilators, while most Convergers prefered case study as their teaching method. Of all teaching methods, the most preferred was lecturing
First Lunar Occultation Results from the 2.4 m Thai National Telescope equipped with ULTRASPEC
The recently inaugurated 2.4\,m Thai National Telescope (TNT) is equipped,
among other instruments, with the ULTRASPEC low-noise, frame-transfer EMCCD
camera. At the end of its first official observing season, we report on the use
of this facility to record high time resolution imaging using small detector
subarrays with sampling as fast as several \,Hz. In particular, we have
recorded lunar occultations of several stars which represent the first
contribution to this area of research made from South-East Asia with a
telescope of this class. Among the results, we discuss an accurate measurement
of ~Cnc, which has been reported previously as a suspected close
binary. Attempts to resolve this star by several authors have so far met with a
lack of unambiguous confirmation. With our observation we are able to place
stringent limits on the projected angular separation (<0\farcs003) and
brightness () of a putative companion. We also present a
measurement of the binary {HR~7072}, which extends considerably the time
coverage available for its yet undetermined orbit. We discuss our precise
determination of the flux ratio and projected separation in the context of
other available data. We conclude by providing an estimate of the performance
of ULTRASPEC at TNT for lunar occultation work. This facility can help to
extend the lunar occultation technique in a geographical area where no
comparable resources were available until now.Comment: Accepted for publication in Astronomical Journa

EDUKASI PENCEGAHAN COVID 19 BAGI PENERIMA PROGRAM BANSOS DI DESA LONGOS KABUPATEN SUMENEP
The rapid spread of Covid-19 has caused the government to adopt a “at home” policy by stopping various economic activities in the community. Health protocols that are carried out are maintaining distance, avoiding crowds, using masks, washing hands. As a form of implementation of Government policies, community empowerment is needed to minimize the number of Covid-19 cases, this empowerment is specifically aimed at rural communities with an interest in Social Assistance Recipients, given that the poor have low awareness of the importance of keeping free from exposure to Covid-19. . Therefore, empowerment will be carried out in the form of providing information and inviting social assistance recipients to live healthy lives and avoid exposure to Covid-19. The method of implementing activities in community service is by providing education which is carried out involving the recipient community of social assistance and interactive communication. The results of the implementation of community service activity programs in the form of providing covid-19 prevention education for social assistance recipients in Longos Village received enthusiasm and a positive response even though basically the community service team was only trying to provide additional insight for the community related to covid-19, how to avoid and prevent and change habits to be healthier by observing health protocols
Performa Pertumbuhan Benih Ikan Nila Hitam (Oreochromis Niloticus Bleeker) Melalui Penambahan Enzim Papain Dalam Pakan Buatan
Pemanfaatan protein dalam pakan merupakan salah satu masalah dalam kegiatan budidaya ikan nila hitam yang sangat erat kaitannya dengan pertumbuhan. Penambahan enzim papain pada pakan dilakukan untuk dapat memanfaatkan protein secara maksimal dan lebih optimal pada kultivan. Papain merupakan enzim protease yang mampu menghidrolisis protein menjadi unsur-unsur yang lebih sederhana yaitu peptida hingga asam amino, sehingga meningkatkan pemanfaatan protein pakan oleh tubuh. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penambahan enzim papain dalam pakan buatan serta dosis enzim papain yang optimal terhadap performa pertumbuhan benih ikan nila hitam (O. niloticus Bleeker). Ikan uji yang digunakan adalah benih nila hitam dengan bobot rata-rata 2,49±0,25 gr.ekor-1 dan padat tebar 1 ekor.L-1. Pemberian pakan 3 kali sehari pada pukul 08.00, 12.00, dan 16.00 secara at satiation. Penelitian dilakukan secara eksperimental menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 4 perlakuan dan 3 kali ulangan. Perlakuan A (0% papain), perlakuan B (1,125% papain), perlakuan C (2,25% papain) dan perlakuan D (3,375% papain). Variabel yang diamati adalah laju pertumbuhan relatif, protein efisiensi rasio, efisiensi pemanfaatan pakan, kelulushidupan dan kualitas air. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan enzim papain dalam pakan buatan memberikan pengaruh yang nyata (P<0,05) terhadap peningkatan pertumbuhan relatif, protein efisiensi rasio, efisiensi pemanfaatan pakan dan tidak berpengaruh (P>0,05) terhadap kelulushidupan. Dosis papain: 2,38%, 2,34%, 2,33%, 2,72% mampu menghasilkan laju pertumbuhan relatif, protein efisiensi rasio, efisiensi pemanfaatan pakan dan net protein utilization optimal masing-masing sebesar 1,84%/hari, 2,38%, 71,6%, 0,804% untuk benih nila hitam. Kualitas air selama penelitian masih berada dalam kisaran yang layak untuk media budidaya ikan nila hitam. Utilization of protein in a feed is one of the problems in the black tilapia aquaculture that are closely related to the growth. The addition of the papain enzyme in the feed is used to get a full advantage from protein maximally and more optimally for the kultivan. Papain is a protease enzyme that is able hydrolyze a proteins into simpler elements like peptides to amino acids, so it can be increase the utilization of protein in feed by the body. The purpose of this research were to determine the effect of addition papain enzyme in artificial feed and to determine the optimal dose of papain enzyme to growth performance of black tilapia seed (O. niloticus Bleeker). Test fish used black tilapia seed with weight approximately 2.49±0.25 g.fish-1 and stock density 1 fish. L-1. Feeding was done in 3 times a day at 08:00, 12:00, and 16:00 in at satiation method. The research used experimental method by completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 3 replications. Treatment A (0% papain), treatment B (1.125% papain), treatment C (2.25% papain) and treatment D (3.375% papain). The observed variables were relative growth rate, protein efficiency ratio, efficiency of feed utilization, survival rate and water quality. The results showed that the addition of papain enzyme in artificial feed gave a significant effect (P<0.05) to increase the relative growth, protein efficiency ratio, feed utilization efficiency and had no effect (P>0.05) on survival rate. The dose of papain which was obtained is: 2.38%, 2.34%, 2.33%, 2.72% capable to produce relative growth rate, efficiency ratio, efficiency feed utilization and net protein utilization optimal 1.84%/day, 2.38%, 71,6%, 0,804% for the black tilapia. Water quality during the research is still in a decent range for a medium black tilapia fish aquaculture
Desain Konstruksi Sel untuk Immunosensor Berbasis Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM)
Biosensor merupakan suatu perangkat sensor yang menggabungkan senyawa biologi dengan suatu
transduser. Salah satu jenis biosensor yang menggunakan teknik pendeteksian perubahan massa adalah
QCM (Quartz Crystal Microbalance). QCM merupakan suatu sensor yang bekerja dengan prinsip
pergeseran frekuensi pada kristal kuarsa akibat adanya deposisi massa di permukaan kristal. QCM dapat
dipergunakan untuk mendeteksi reaksi antar molekul, sehingga QCM dapat berfungsi sebagai biosensor
yang dapat dipergunakan untuk diagnosis suatu penyakit. Dalam pengembangan QCM untuk
immunosensor terdapat berbagai permasalahan, salah satunya adalah konstruksi sel. Konstruksi sel
dapat dipergunakan sebagai tempat reaksi antanra biomolekul. Konstruksi sel terbuat dari bahan teflon
putih. Untuk menjaga agar sensor QCM tidak mengalami tekanan fisik yang bisa mengakibatkan pecah
karena tekanan dari teflon maka digunakan o-ring silikon sebagai penyekat. Hasil penelitian ini
menunjukkan bahwa konstruksi sel yang dibuat dapat digunakan untuk dipergunakan sebagai media
pengamatan imobilisasi Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) di atas permukaan sensor
