The duration time for doing the test was 90 minutes. The data was analyzed by calculating the students' score in reading motivation, finding out the reading comprehension score and correlating the two variables. The students' score classified into three level of students' reading motivation; they are: Low, Moderate, and High. Besides, the students' score classified into five level mastery of Reading Comprehension; they are: very poor, poor, mediocre, good, and excellent. The data was presented by using graphic. Based on the result finding of this research, the coefficient correlation ( obtained was 0,424.

Analisis Serum Symmetric Dimethylarginine dalam Berbagai Gejala Klinis pada Anjing

Symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) merupakan golden standard untuk menilai fungsi ginjal terutama terkait glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Nilai SDMA pada serum dapat digunakan untuk mendeteksi Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) sebelum kreatinin mengalami peningkatan diatas nilai normal pada anjing. Nilai SDMA telah dibuktikan sebagai pendeteksi awal kondisi penyakit ginjal, namun belum banyak data yang menjelaskan tentang adanya peningkatan nilai SDMA terkait gejala klinis lain selain penyakit ginjal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan informasi penyebab peningkatan nilai SDMA dengan proses penyebab peningkatan nilai SDMA terkait dengan gejala klinis yang timbul pada anjing selain gangguan ginjal. Penelitian dilakukan pada 20 ekor anjing dengan berbagai gejala klinis yang dilengkapi dengan data jenis kelamin, usia, dan pemeriksaan parameter kimia darah (BUN, kreatinin, ALT, total protein, albumin) dan SDMA. Nilai SDMA dianalisis dari sampel serum dengan menggunakan IDEXX Catalyst® SDMA Test. Hasil penelitian manunjukkan anjing yang mengalami gejala klinis terkait gangguan sistem urinari (60%) memiliki persentase tertinggi diikuti oleh gejala klinis terkait gangguan sistem pencernaan (45%), gangguan jantung (20%), gangguan mata dan gangguan periodontal (15%), gangguan otot dan tulang (10%), dan gangguan kulit (5%). Berdasarkan hasil tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa peningkatan nilai SDMA juga dapat terjadi pada berbagai gangguan fungsi organ dengan gejala klinis yang tidak spesifik menunjukkan gangguan fungsi ginjal.Symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) merupakan golden standard untuk menilai fungsi ginjal terutama terkait glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

Pemanfaatan Limbah Bambu sebagai Bahan Filtrasi untuk Mengurangi Kandungan Nitrogen Total dalam Air Buangan Limbah Tahu

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengurangi kandungan nitrogen yang terbuang ke badan air sehingga dapat mengurangi pencemaran yang terjadi. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah metode eksperimental dengan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL), terdiri atas 3 perlakuan yaitu P1 (ketebalan arang bambu 15 cm dan daun bambu 5 cm), P2 (ketebalan arang bambu 10 cm dan daun bambu 10 cm), P3 (ketebalan arang bambu 5 cm dan daun bambu 15 cm). Masing-Masing perlakuan diulang 3 kali sehingga diperoleh 9 unit percobaan. Data hasil pengamatan dianalisis dengan menggunakan Analisis keragaman pada taraf 5% dan diuji lanjut dengan uji BNJ pada taraf yang sama. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahnwa penggunaan arang dan daun bambu memberikan perbedaan yang nyata terhadap penurunan kandungan nitrogen total di dalam limbah cair tahu hasil fitrasi. Kandungan Nitrogen Total terendah terdapat pada perlakuan P2, yaitu 0,052% dengan persentase penurunan sebesar 38,13% dari kadungan nitrogen total limbah cair sebelum difiltrasi
