MENGGALI NILAI-NILAI TRADISI TAHLILAN UNTUK PENGEMBANGAN MATERI INTERAKSI SOSIAL DALAM PEMBELAJARAN IPS : Studi Deskriptif Analisis di Desa Gintung Ranjeng Kab. Cirebon

Globalisasi sangat berdampak di Indonesia, masuknya arus globalisasi menyebabkan masyarakat Indonesia cenderung lebih meminati budaya asing, ketimbang melestarikan budaya lokalnya. Selain budaya lokal yang mulai terancam, globalisasi juga mempengaruhi sikap dan perilaku sosial masyarakat yang mulai menururun, hal ini tentunya akan rentan memicu terjadinya konflik sosial. Pada aspek lain, permasalahan juga muncul dalam pembelajaran IPS yang dirasa membosankan, dimana materi yang diajarkan tidak mengaitkan dengan fenomena sosial dan budaya lokal yang berkembang di sekitar siswa. Kenyataan ini tentu harus dicari solusinya, salah satu solusi yang dikembangkan dalam penelitian ini, yaitu dengan menggali nilai-nilai tradisi tahlilan di lingkungan masyarakat Desa Gintung Ranjeng, serta diharapkan dapat dijadikan sebagai sumber belajar yang terintegrasi dalam materi interaksi sosial pada pelajaran IPS. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui proses berlangsungnya tradisi tahlilan serta memahami pola interaksi yang terjadi pada masyarakat dalam tradisi tahlilan, sehingga dapat dimanfaatkan pada pembelajaran IPS. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan menggunakan metode deskriptif analisis serta subjek penelitian pada masyarakat Desa Gintung Ranjeng. Temuan dalam penelitian ini: 1) Masyarakat Desa Gintung Ranjeng hingga saat ini masih menggelar tradisi tahlilan dengan tujuan sebagai salah satu bentuk ibadah kepada Allah SWT, menghibur dan berempati kepada keluarga yang ditinggalkan, upaya untuk mempererat hubungan sosial antar warga masyarakat, dan sebagai pencegah terjadinya konflik di masyarakat ; 2) pola interaksi masyarakat Desa Gintung Ranjeng terdapat pada tradisi tahlilan, hal ini terlihat dengan adanya kegiatan atur-atur dan kegiatan ngobeng dalam tradisi tahlilan; 3) tradisi tahlilan yang memiliki nilai luhur dalam hal hubungan sosial, sehingga dapat digunakan sebagai sumber belajar dalam pembelajaran IPS terutama pada materi interaksi sosial. ;--- The globalization greatly affects in Indonesia, the globalization causes Indonesian people prefer to choose foreign cultures compared with preserve their local culture. Beside the local cultured that begin to be threatened, the globalization also affects the decreasing of peoples’ social attitudes and social behavior, this will certainly vulnerable with the cause of social conflicts. In other aspect. The problems also arise in the social studies education learning which is considered boring, where the material taught does not relate with phenomena of local social and cultural that develop around students. This fact must be sought solution, one of the solutions developed in this research is exploring the values of tahlilan tradition in the social environment of Gintung Ranjeng village, and expected can be used as learning sources that are integrated in the social interaction topic in the social studies education subjects. The purpose of this study is to determine the process of tahlilan tradition and comprehend the patterns of interaction in tahlilan that occurs in society, so that it can used in the learning of social studies education. This research used analysis qualitative approach and descriptive method with the research subjects in Gintung Ranjeng village society. The findings of this research are : 1) The people of Gintung Ranjeng village still hold the tradition of tahlilan with the purpose as one way of their worship to Allah SWT, give console and empathy to abandoned families, efforts to strengthen social relations among society, and prevent the conflict in the community; 2) the interaction pattern of Gintung Ranjeng society is found in the tradition of tahlilan, it can be seen in the activity of “atur-atur” and “ngobeng” activities in tahlilan tradition; 3) tahlilan tradition that has a noble value in the social relations, can be used as learning sources in social studies especially on the subject matter social interaction

Types and the importance of symbioses in plants

Simbioza u užem smislu označava zajednicu dva organizma od koje oba imaju koristi. U biljaka je simbioza s mikroorganizmima u tlu izrazito značajna kao jedan od mehanizama koji im omogućava opstanak u uvjetima manjka vode i nekih mineralnih tvari. Dva su najbitnija tipa simbioze u biljaka, mikoriza i simbioza s dušik-fiksirajućim mikroorganizmima. Mikoriza je zajednica biljaka s gljivama u tlu koja im omogućava bolju opskrbu vodom i mineralnim tvarima, posebice fosforom. Gljive od biljke preuzimaju organske spojeve koje same nisu sposobne sintetizirati. Istu korist od biljaka imaju i dušik-fiksirajući mikroorganizmi, no njihova zadaća je preraditi atmosferski dušik u spojeve koje biljka može primiti. Mikroorganizmi, osim biljci s kojom su u simbiozi, posredno koriste i biljkama u okolici. Hife gljiva poboljšavaju sposobnost zadržavanja vode u tlu, a dušik-fiksirajuće bakterije obogaćuju tlo dušikovim spojevima koje mogu koristiti druge biljke. Važnost simbioza u biljaka je prepoznata i već su razvijene mnoge metode i postupci u kojima se simbiotski mikroorganizmi koriste za poboljšanje prirasta biljaka u poljoprivredi, cvjećarstvu, šumarstvu i sličnim djelatnostima. Razvitkom novih metoda uzgoja tih organizama i daljnjim istraživanjem pojedinog tipa simbioze može se znatno pridonijeti uzgoju biljnih vrsta koje koristi čovjek, ali i očuvanju biljnih populacija na područjima koja su inače nepovoljna za život određenih vrsta biljaka.Symbiosis is defined as an association between two organisms which is beneficial for both of them. Plant symbiosis with soil microorganisms is extremely important for plants as one of the mechanisms that enables them to survive under extreme conditions, such as low water and mineral content in the soil. There are two most important types of plant symbioses: mycorrhiza and symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing microorganisms. Mycorrhiza is an association between plants and soil fungi which enables more efficient water and nutrient uptake for the plant. Fungi are supplied with organic compounds which they cannot synthesize themselves. Nitrogen-fixing microorganisms also use organic compounds synthesized by plant, but their main task is conversion of molecular nitrogen from the atmosphere into compounds that can be used by plant. Symbiotic microorganisms can also be beneficial to other plants in the environment, not strictly for the ones with which they form symbiosis. Fungal hyphae improve soil capacity for retaining water and nitrogen-fixing bacteria enrich the soil with nitrogen compounds, making them available for the other plants. The importance of plant symbioses is well known and there are already many methods and procedures developed for the improvement of plant growth using microorganisms, for example in agriculture, floristry, wood industry etc. Further research of each type of symbiosis in order to improve methods of microorganism cultivation can significantly increase cultivation of many useful plant species, and the preservation of plant populations in areas that are otherwise unfavorable for certain plants species

A Preliminary Study On The Interfacial Strength Of Red Abalone

Nacre is a hierarchical material found within the tough shells of red abalone. Despite being composed of calcium carbonate, nacre exhibits remarkable mechanical properties resulting from the nanoscale brick-and-mortar structure made from aragonite polygons. The objective of this research is to elucidate the toughening mechanisms associated with the interfacial resistance of red abalone. This was achieved by studying the mechanical behavior of dry nacre under pure shear and tension, and characterizing the associated fracture mechanisms using optical and scanning electron microscopes. Mathematical modeling was applied to further quantify the contribution of protein chains, nano-asperities and shear pillars to interfacial strengths. Preliminary conceptual models were proposed to elucidate the toughening mechanisms of polymorphic aragonite structures in red abalone. The findings can extend our understanding of the mechanical behavior of natural materials and promote the research and development of high performance bioinspired materials

An investigation of metal partitioning and organic pollution in surface sediments from Tees Bay and the Tees Estuary, UK

PhD ThesisConcern about the possible contamination by metals, hydrocarbons and PCBs of Tees Bay and the Tees estuary, and potential sources of such materials has led to this study of surficial sediments. Surface sediment samples were collected from the Tees estuary and Tees Bay and were analysed for grain size, organic carbon content, metals, hydrocarbons (aliphatic and polyaromatic) and polychiorinated biphenyls (PCB5). The Tees estuary sediments are largely organic-rich clayey-silts, while the Bay sediments are organic-poor sands. All of the metals measured (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) have significantly higher concentrations in the sediments of the Tees estuary than in those of Tees Bay (F Pb> Cr> Cu > Ni > Co> Cd. These significantly higher concentrations remain apparent when the data are normalized to remove the effect of grain size variation, suggesting that the sediments of the Tees estuary are enriched in metals in comparison with the sediments of Tees Bay and that these differences are not the result of the different grain size distributions. Metal partitioning was determined by sequential extraction, using the scheme of Tessier et al. (1979) as recently modified by Ajayi and Van Loon (1989), in order to assess the likely behaviour of metals in the sediments studied. The results of the sequential extraction showed that the partitioning patterns of Cd, Cr, Cu and Zn differed between the marine and estuarine sediments. In the Tees Bay sediments the residual fraction hosted >50% of all of the metals, except Cd and Pb. In the Tees estuary, however, this fraction only accounted for >50% of the Cd, Co and Ni. Significant portions of Cd are contained in fractions 1 and 2 in both the Tees estuary sediments and those from Tees Bay. Because of the toxicity and availability of Cd this may pose a serious problem to the ecosystem. The total Pb in the sediments is also quite high, particularly in the Tees estuary, and even the small proportion in fraction 2 could cause deleterious effects. High concentrations of Cd and Pd, in Tees Bay and the Tees estuary sediments, and Cr and Zn, in Tees estuary sediments, were associated with fraction 3. Concern is directed to heavy metals associated with fraction 3 because changing environmental conditions can transfer these elements from the sediments into the aqueous phase. Cu was the only metal significantly associated with fraction 4. This fraction is likely to have an important role as a sink for trace metals, particularly for Cu and to a lesser extent Cr and Zn. Petroleum hydrocarbons, both aliphatic and polyaromatic (PAHs), were detected and quantified in all samples. The distributions of the n-alkanes, acyclic isoprenoids (especially pristane from coal), triterpanes and steranes, in most sediments from both areas, were indicative of pollution by fossil fuels. On the other hand, a few sediments from the estuary contain hydrocarbons from both biogenic and anthropogenic sources. Polyaromatic hydrocarbon assemblages observed in the samples were relatively rich in hydrocarbons having petrogenic origins. However, the presence of pyrolytic derived components was also indicated by several characteristic component composition ratios. Single PCB congeners were determined in the sediments studied. The PCB profile is fairly constant in sediments from both areas and similar to that of Aroclor 1260 and 1254. The similarity to the commercial mixtures, with only a slight enrichment of the lighter congeners, indicates that sources responsible for PCB pollution are located in the Tees area. The sediments of the Tees estuary tend to be more highly polluted, by metals, hydrocarbons and PCBs, than those of the Bay, particularly in the middle section of the estuary. However, there is a general decrease in the concentrations of these compounds from the middle to the mouth of the estuary, while within the Bay area offshore sites showed higher concentrations. Distributions of inorganic and organic constituents in the Tees Bay were significantly influenced by the organic carbon content and particle size of sediments.Kink Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
