Penerapan Metode Inquiry pada Materi Organisasi untuk Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar Siswa Kelas V SD Negeri Kuta Bak Mee Aceh Besar

Materi organisasi pada dasarnya bukanlah materi yang sukar, tetapi menjadi tidak mudah menggunakan metode konvensional, oleh karena itu perlu dicoba dengan menggunakan metode inquiry. Karena metode inquiry memiliki kelebihan penekanan pada pengembangan aspek kognitif, afektif, dan psikomotor secara seimbang, memberi ruang kepada siswa untuk belajar sesuai dengan gaya belajar mereka, sesuai dengan psikologi perkembangan belajar modern, serta melayani kebutuhan siswa yang memiliki kemampuan di atas rata-rata. Tujuan penelitian ini secara umum untuk mengetahui aktivitas guru dan siswa dalam menerapkan metode inquiry pada materi organisasi, serta untuk mengetahui peningkatan hasil belajar siswa kelas V SD Negeri Kuta Bak Mee Aceh Besar dalam pembelajaran PKN. Pendekatan penelitian ini bersifat Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK). Penelitian dilaksanakan di SD Negeri Kuta Bak Mee Aceh Besar pada tanggal 3-17 Januari 2017. Subjek dalam penelitian ini seluruh siswa kelas V SD Negeri Kuta Bak Mee Aceh Besar yang berjumlah 16 orang. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan tes tertulis dan observasi. Pengolahan data dilakukan dengan mendeskripsikan data penelitian dengan menggunakan statistik persentase. Hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa pada aktivitas guru setiap siklus memperlihatkan adanya peningkatan. Siklus I, aktivitas guru sebesar 66,7%, siklus II meningkat menjadi 81,5%, dan siklus III meningkat lagi menjadi 94,4%. Aktivitas siswa setiap siklus memperlihatkan adanya peningkatan. Siklus I sebesar 61,81%, siklus II menjadi 77,59% dan siklus III menjadi 92,97%. Peningkatan hasil belajar siswa secara klasikal siklus I 18,75%, siklus II 56,25%, dan pada siklus III 87,5%.

KAJIAN PROSES PRODUKSI PUPUK HAYATI BIO-SRF DAN PENGUJIAN EFEKTIVITASNYA PADA TANAMAN BAWANG MERAH

This study aimed to assess the production process of biofertilizer Bio-SRF and determine its effectiveness on the growth and productivity of shallot plants. The Study of biofertilizer Bio-SRF production covering the cultivation of microbial cell biomass, granulation, and formulation of  biofertilizer products. Testing the effectiveness of biofertilizers on shallot plants using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with five replicates, involving nine biofertilizers treatments and one control. The results showed that the population of cells on the granulated biofertilizer Bio-SRF was Corynebacterium sp. 4 x 107 cfu/g, Lactobacillus sp. 3.8 x 107 cfu/g, Burkholderia seminalis 7.4 x 108 cfu/g, Pseudomonas stutzeri 4.5 x 108 cfu/g and 60 mycorrhizal spores/g products. The effectiveness test showed that the biofertilizer treatments significantly affected plant height, the number of bulbs, weight of wet and dried bulbs produced. Application of biofertilizer Bio-SRF on shallot plants gave the best results of plant height 34.80 cm at harvest time, the number of bulbs per plant 4.78 bulb, weight of wet bulbs 3,81 kg/m2, weight of dried bulbs 3,27 kg/m2 and increased the yield of shallot production by 55.71% compared with no biofertilizer application.Keywords: Biofertilizer, Bio-SRF, production process, effectivity test, shallot plant ABSTRAKBio-SRF merupakan formula produk pupuk hayati yang mengandung campuran beberapa jenis mikroba penyubur tanah.

Hasil uji efektivitas menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan pupuk hayati berpengaruh nyata terhadap tinggi tanaman, jumlah umbi, bobot basah dan bobot kering umbi bawang merah yang dihasilkan. Aplikasi pupuk hayati Bio-SRF pada tanaman bawang merah memberikan hasil terbaik yaitu dengan tinggi tanaman saat panen 34,80 cm, jumlah umbi per tanaman 4,78 umbi, berat basah umbi 3,81 kg/m2, berat kering umbi 3,27 kg/m2 dan dapat meningkatkan hasil produksi bawang merah sebesar 55,71% dibandingkan dengan tanpa aplikasi pupuk hayati.Kata kunci: Pupuk hayati, Bio-SRF, proses produksi, uji efektivitas, bawang mera

Management and Outcomes Following Surgery for Gastrointestinal Typhoid: An International, Prospective, Multicentre Cohort Study

Background: Gastrointestinal perforation is the most serious complication of typhoid fever, with a high disease burden in low-income countries. Reliable, prospective, contemporary surgical outcome data are scarce in these settings. This study aimed to investigate surgical outcomes following surgery for intestinal typhoid. Methods: Two multicentre, international prospective cohort studies of consecutive patients undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal typhoid perforation were conducted. Outcomes were measured at 30 days and included mortality, surgical site infection, organ space infection and reintervention rate. Multilevel logistic regression models were used to adjust for clinically plausible explanatory variables. Effect estimates are expressed as odds ratios (ORs) alongside their corresponding 95% confidence intervals. Results: A total of 88 patients across the GlobalSurg 1 and GlobalSurg 2 studies were included, from 11 countries. Children comprised 38.6% (34/88) of included patients. Most patients (87/88) had intestinal perforation. The 30-day mortality rate was 9.1% (8/88), which was higher in children (14.7 vs. 5.6%). Surgical site infection was common, at 67.0% (59/88). Organ site infection was common, with 10.2% of patients affected. An ASA grade of III and above was a strong predictor of 30-day post-operative mortality, at the univariable level and following adjustment for explanatory variables (OR 15.82, 95% CI 1.53–163.57, p = 0.021). Conclusions: With high mortality and complication rates, outcomes from surgery for intestinal typhoid remain poor. Future studies in this area should focus on sustainable interventions which can reduce perioperative morbidity. At a policy level, improving these outcomes will require both surgical and public health system advances

Global economic burden of unmet surgical need for appendicitis

Background There is a substantial gap in provision of adequate surgical care in many low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to identify the economic burden of unmet surgical need for the common condition of appendicitis. Methods Data on the incidence of appendicitis from 170 countries and two different approaches were used to estimate numbers of patients who do not receive surgery: as a fixed proportion of the total unmet surgical need per country (approach 1); and based on country income status (approach 2). Indirect costs with current levels of access and local quality, and those if quality were at the standards of high-income countries, were estimated. A human capital approach was applied, focusing on the economic burden resulting from premature death and absenteeism. Results Excess mortality was 4185 per 100 000 cases of appendicitis using approach 1 and 3448 per 100 000 using approach 2. The economic burden of continuing current levels of access and local quality was US $92 492 million using approach 1 and$73 141 million using approach 2. The economic burden of not providing surgical care to the standards of high-income countries was $95 004 million using approach 1 and$75 666 million using approach 2. The largest share of these costs resulted from premature death (97.7 per cent) and lack of access (97.0 per cent) in contrast to lack of quality. Conclusion For a comparatively non-complex emergency condition such as appendicitis, increasing access to care should be prioritized. Although improving quality of care should not be neglected, increasing provision of care at current standards could reduce societal costs substantially
