: This study is aimed at improving the learning process Pronunciation course and integratingcharacter building into the course. Project-based learning is a learning model chosen to achieve theseobjectives, and the project taken is drama performance. The learning improvement was achievedthrough lesson study carried out with a model applied to the IB Pronunciation class consisting of 20students. These activities are carried out through three stages, namely the preparatory stage (plan), theimplementation phase (do) and the evaluation phase (see). Data were collected through observation,documentation, discussions, and self-assessment. The results showed that the project-based learningwas a learning model appropriate for integrating character building into the Pronunciation course. Bythe use of project-based learning, the students could learn joyfully and be able to apply the pronunciationability in the real work, in a drama performance. The students also understood others, developedtolerance, worked together in teams, develiped responsibility, respected the work of others,developed self-confidence, was critical as well as open to suggestions and opinions of others

Evaluasi Keberadaan Gen CatP terhadap Resistensi Kloramfenikol pada Penderita Demam Tifoid

Demam tifoid atau typhus abdominalis merupakan salah satu penyakit infeksi yang dilaporkan tinggi angka kejadiannya. Penyakit ini disebabkan oleh Salmonella typhi, bakteri gram negatif yang menimbulkan infeksi akut pada usus kecil. Patogenesis penyakit ini tergantung pada inokulum, kemampuan virulensi, respon sistem imun inang dan faktor protektif lokal. Terapi antibiotik merupakan langkah penting dilakukan ketika dugaan klinik telah kuat. Kloramfenikol merupakan antibiotik yang memiliki mekanisme kerja menghambat enzim peptidil transferase yang berperan dalam pembentukan ikatan-ikatan peptida dalam proses sintesis protein bakteri. Adanya resistensi terhadap kloramfenikol mempengaruhi efektifitas jenis antibiotik ini digunakan dalam terapi demam tifoid. S. typhi yang resisten terhadap kloramfenikol memiliki gen catP yang mengkode asetil transferase membentuk asetoksikloramfenikol sehingga kloramfenikol menjadi inaktif. Untuk mendeteksi resistensi ini, dilakukan uji disc diffusion dan uji PCR. Sampel darah dari penderita demam tifoid dari tiga rumah sakit di Makassar dan Gowa dan satu puskesmas. Berdasarkan hasil uji, ditemukan resistensi terhadap kloramfenikol sebesar 37.7% dari uji disc diffusion dan 43,4% dari uji PCR. Kesesuaian hasil Uji untuk menemukan resistensi adalah 87.0% dan untuk sensitif terhadap kloramfenikol adalah 90.9%

Pengaruh Dosis Urea, Arang Aktif, dan Zeolit terhadap Pertumbuhan dan Hasil Padi Sawah (Oryza Sativa L.)

. The objectives of the research were to study effects of urea, active charcoal and zeolite on growth and yield of rice. The experiment was arranged in a factorial randomized block design with three replications. Factor of urea consisted of three levels, i.e. treatment without urea, urea 150 kg ha-1 and urea 200 kg ha-1. Factor of active charcoal consisted of two levels i.e. treatment without active charcoal and active charcoal 40 kg ha-1. Factor of zeolite consisted of two levels i.e. without zeolite and zeolite 200 kg ha-1. Results showed that urea exerted highly significant effects on plant height at age 30 days after transplanting (DAT) and 45 DAT, grain per plot, and exerted a significant effect on tiller numbers at 30 DAT. Active charcoal exerted significant effects on tiller numbers at 30 DAT and grain weight per plot, while zeolite exerted significant effect on tiller numbers at age 30 DAT. Significant interaction occurred between urea and active charcoal on tiller numbers at age 15 DAT; urea, activated carbon, and zeolite on tiller number at age 30 DAT; active charcoal and zeolite on productive tiller numbers

Interrelatedness of Legal Verses in Surah Al-baqarah

This paper will examine the interrelatedness of the Quranic verses, and how every verse is put in a well logical arrangement. The approach used in this examination is what the Quranic science calls ‘Ilm al-Munâsabah. This specific Quranic science aims to find the relation between one verse with the other which precedes and follows it. Different issues, styles, time and occasions of revelation in one chapter are not a hindrance to find the correlation between the verses of the same chapter. Due to its various legal contents, surah al-Baqarah will be the focus of the discussion.Artikel ini meneliti keterkaitan antar ayat al-Quran dan bagaimana setiap ayat diposisikan dalam urutan yang logis. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam tulisan ini adalah apa yang dikenal sebagai ilm munasabah al-ayat. Ilmu al-Quran ini berupaya menemukan keterkaitan antara satu ayat dengan ayat sebelum dan sesudahnya. Ragam tema, gaya, waktu dan asbab al-nuzul dalam sebuah surat tidak menjadi hambatan untuk menemukan hubungan antarayat dalam surat yang sama. Karena kandungan ayat hukumnya yang beragam, surat al-Baqarah menjadi fokus kajian dalam artikel ini

Persepsi Pelaku Kekerasan Dalam Rumah Tangga Terhadap UU Pkdrt No 23 Tahun 2004

The Domestic Violence Act of Indonesia has been applied for 10 years. However, it seems this act does not reduce significantly the practice of domestic violence. Lawrence Friedman emphasizes that there is legal culture that influences legal system. It means that the acceptance of citizen influences the quality of legal system. This research shows that the offenders of domestic violence accept the regulation. Moreover, they consider this regulation as good act to implement. However, there are several factors that make them still practice violence toward their family. Less knowledge, public acceptance and psychological condition contribute to the level of obedience before the law. Therefore, citizens need a good and massive socialization from government about this regulation
