THE USE OF ANIME FAN FICTION STORY AS A MEDIA WITH VSS TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE THE TENTH GRADERS’ VOCABULARY

Abstract Mastering in vocabulary is more specifically predictive and reflective of high levels of reading achievement. But, reading is not a habit yet in Indonesia because the learners’ interest are low. Recently, there has been recognition that young people are able to engage in media in variety of ways, such as Anime Fan Fiction. And there is a technique of teaching vocabulary that can engage the learners in their own learning, an interactive learning that promotes word conciousness named VSS. Thus, this study was conducted to describe the new framework of the implementation and prove the learners’ improvement of their vocabulary through reading Anime FanFiction with VSS technique. The objectives of this study were to show and describe how was the implementation of VSS technique for teaching vocabulary in contexts. To find out and prove that the learners have improved their vocabulary mastery after being taught using VSS technique in their reading class. This study was one group pre-posttest design which involved one class of the tenth graders at SMKN 6 Surabaya, the English teacher of the class and the 31 learners. This study was applied in two meetings on May, 7th and 13th, 2015. The data are taken by tthe observation checklist and the result of pre-posttest score. The findings showed that the score of the posttest was higher than the pretest. Then for the treatment, at the first meeting, the learners still faced the difficulty follow in step in analyzed vocabulary of VSS chart. Meanwhile, they could follow all the steps easily in the second meeting. So, this study was successful to improve the vocabulary through reading Anime Fan Fiction as a media with VSS technique. Key Words: Vocabulary, VSS, Anime, Fan Fiction Abstrak Menguasai perbendaharaan kata secara spesifik lebih dipredikisi dan direfleksi dari tingginya tingkat prestasi dalam membaca. Tetapi, membaca belum menjadi kebiasaan di Indonesia karena ketertarikan para murid dalam membaca rendah. Dewasa ini, ada sekian banyak pengakuan bahwa remaja dapat terikat oleh media dalam berbagai cara, seperti Anime Fan Fiction.Dan ada sebuah teknik pengajaran kosakata yand dapat mengikat para murid dalam pembelajarannya sendiri, sebuah pembelajaran interaktif yang memgutamakan pemahaman kata yaitu VSS. Oleh karena itu, study ini diadakan untuk mendeskripsikan implementasi dari desain mengajar yang baru dan membuktikan peningkatan kosakata para murid dengan membaca Anime Fan Fiction dengan pengajaran VSS teknik. Tujuan dari studi ini yaitu menunjukkan dan menjelaskan bagaimana implementasi dari VSS teknik sebagai pengajaran kosakata dalam konteks. Dan, membuktikan bahwa mereka telah meningkatkan kosakata setelah diajarkan dengan teknik VSS di kelas mereka. Studi ini ialah Quantitaive, pre-posttest dengan satu grup yang melibatkan satu kelas dari tingkat 10 di SMKN 06 Surabaya, guru bahasa inggris dikela itu, dan 31 murid. Studi ini diaplikasikan dalam dua kali pertemuan pada tanggal 07 dan 13 Mei 2015. Data dari studi ini diambil dari hasil observasi dan hasil score test. Dari studi ini ditemukan bahwa score posttest lebih tinggi dari pretest. Lalu untuk pengaplikasian studinya, para murid masih mengalami kesulitan di peretemuan awal. dalam mengikuti arahan dari peneliti untuk menganalisis kosakata dengan VSS teknik Setelah itu, mereka dapat mengikuti arahan dari peneliti dengan baik di pertemuan kedua. Jadi, studi ini berhasil dalam meningkatkan kosakata melalui membaca Aniime Fan fiction sebagai medianya dengan VSS teknik. Kata kunci: Kosakata, VSS, Animasi, Fan Fictio

Survival Following Rectal Impalement through the Pelvic, Abdominal, and Thoracic Cavities: A Case Report

Impalement injuries are a unique form of penetrating trauma and are typically associated with a fall onto the object (Steele, 2006). We present the case of a 45-year-old man who reportedly slipped in his bathtub and fell onto a broomstick. Radiographic examination revealed a slender mass extending from his rectum to the right side of his neck. A review of English literature suggests that this is the second reported case in the last 100 years describing the successful management of an impalement injury traversing the pelvic, abdominal, and thoracic cavities. The management of this case is described

Mesures du boson de Higgs produit en association avec un boson vecteur et se désintégrant en une paire de quarks-b avec le détecteur ATLAS

The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 by the ATLAS and CMS experiments has opened a new research domain at the LHC, with the measurement of the properties of this particle to refine our understanding of the Standard Model and constrain physics beyond this model. The measurements of the Higgs boson decaying to a pair of b-quarks and produced alongside a W or Z boson, performed with the ATLAS detector using 139 fb⁻¹ of data collected in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV are presented in this thesis. Three channels are defined, the 0-, 1- and 2-lepton channels, depending on the number of charged leptons coming from the decay of the vector boson. The analysis takes advantage of the full Run-2 data statistics and of the improvement of many analysis techniques, which increases its sensitivity and allows the observation of the ZH signal and a strong evidence of the WH signal in this decay channel of the Higgs boson into pairs of b-quarks. Differential cross-section measurements are also performed and are found to be in good agreement with the Standard Model. The ATLAS detector will undergo many upgrades in preparation for the HL-LHC operation to be able to cope with the increase in luminosity and pile-up level. Therefore the liquid argon calorimeter readout electronics will be replaced. A part of this thesis is dedicated to check if the Front-End pre-amplifier prototypes proposed for the upgrade comply with the physics requirements.La découverte du boson de Higgs en 2012 par les expériences ATLAS et CMS a ouvert tout un nouveau domaine de recherche au LHC: la mesure des propriétés de cette particule permet d’affiner notre compréhension du Modèle Standard et de contraindre la physique au-delà de ce Modèle. Cette thèse présente les mesures du boson de Higgs se désintégrant en une paire de quarks-b et produit avec un boson W ou Z, réalisées en utilisant 139fb⁻¹ de données de collisions proton-proton à une énergie de 13 TeV dans le centre de masse collectées par le détecteur ATLAS. Trois canaux sont définis, nommés 0-, 1- et 2-leptons, selon le nombre de leptons chargés provenant de la désintégration du boson vecteur. L’analyse bénéficie de la grande statistique des données Run-2 et de l’amélioration de nombreuses techniques d’analyses, ce qui accroît sa sensibilité et permet l’observation du signal ZH et une preuve solide du signal WH dans cette désintégration du boson de Higgs en paires de quarks-b. Des mesures de sections efficaces différentielles sont également menées, et sont en bon accord avec la théorie. Le détecteur ATLAS fera l’objet de nombreuses mises à jour en vue de l’exploitation du HL-LHC afin de pouvoir tolérer l’augmentation de la luminosité et du niveau d’empilement. L’électronique de lecture du calorimètre à argon liquide sera ainsi remplacée. Une partie de cette thèse est consacrée à vérifier si les prototypes de préamplificateurs Front-End proposés pour la mise à jour sont conformes aux exigences physiques

Searches for heavy resonances by ATLAS and CMS

Many new physics models predict the existence of new, heavy particles. This talk summarizes recent ATLAS and CMS searches for Beyond-the-Standard-Model heavy resonances which decay to pairs of bosons, heavy quarks, or leptons, using Run 2 data collected at the LHC. The experimental methods are explained, including the jet substructure techniques used in some searches to disentangle the hadronic decay products in highly boosted configurations

Measurement of the Standard Model Higgs boson produced in association with a vector boson and decaying to a pair of b-quarks in p-p collisions at 13 TeV using the ATLAS detector

The Higgs boson decays to pairs of $b$-quarks were measured in associated production with a $W$ or $Z$ boson by the ATLAS collaboration. The decay to $b$-quarks is of particular importance since it allows a direct measurement of the coupling of the Higgs boson to $b$-quarks. The highest sensitivity in this channel is obtained when the vector boson produced alongside the Higgs boson decays to leptons. The analysed data were collected in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider during Run-2 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The final state requires having exactly 2 $b$-tagged jets and either 0, 1 or 2 charged leptons (electron or muons) corresponding to the following channels: $Z \rightarrow \nu \nu$, $W \rightarrow l \nu$ and $Z \rightarrow ll$. The analysis benefits from the full Run-2 data and from novel techniques used to improve the analysis sensitivity. The measurements yield the observation of the $VH$ signal as well as the observation of the $ZH$ signal and a strong evidence of the $WH$ signal. The results are validated with the diboson ($VZ$) analysis by measuring the $VZ, Z\rightarrow b \bar b$ signal strength, and are cross-checked with the di-jet mass analysis which also leads to the observation of the $VH$ signal. All the results are in good agreement with the Standard Model expectations
