TEACHING READING BY COLLABORATIVE STRATEGIC READING: AN ACTION RESEARCH

English language learners experienced difficulties in understanding readings in English. This research aims to improve students’ reading comprehension by implementing Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) at second semester students of English Department, STKIP Panca Sakti Bekasi. This research used a Classroom Action Research (CAR) was conducted in two cycles. There are qualitative and quantitative data collected in this research. The former data were gained by analyzing field note, observation sheet and interview while the latter ones were obtained from pre-test, post-test and portfolio of pre-cycle, cycle I and cycle II. The result shows that the mean score of students’ reading performance increases in four dimensions not only on literal, interpretative, applicative but also on critical understanding. The finding indicates that the students’ mean score at pre-cycle (68) increases to 77 and to 87 in the first and second cycles respectively. For interpretative understanding, the average score at pre-cycle was 61, increasing to 69 in the first cycle and to 80 in the second cycle. For applicative understanding, the average score at pre-cycle was 62, increasing to 64 in the first cycle and to 84 in the second cycle. Finally, the critical understanding also increases, from 59 at pre-cycle to 65 in the first cycle and to 85 in the second cycle. Therefore, the implementation of CAR effectively improves the students’ reading performance

MODAL SOSIAL PESANTREN JAWA PESISIRAN UTARA DALAM PEMBERDAYAAN MASYARAKAT

Kiai and pesantren are acknowledge to have contributed a lot in solving the problems of community welfare, especiallyin socio-religious and economic matters in Indonesia. The existence of pesantren so far has not only been insulated on its duties in managing morals and arranging itself as a tafaqquh fiddin institution that is indifferent to various social dynamics that develop. On the contrary, pesantren are actually responsive and progressive in addressing these issues with concrete work in the direct grassroots realm. Kiai Sahal and Maslakul Huda are examples of how kiai and pesantren figures institutionally contribute to answering social issues. Various activities carried out by the Maslakul Huda Islamic Boarding School are a form of crystallization of Kiai Sahal's ideas in order to respond to the actual social problems of the lower class of Kajen Village and its surroundings. Norms, the social networks in the figure of Kiai Sahal and the Pesantren Maslakul Huda, in this case have succeeded in fostering public trust which in the later stages has made it easier for the Islamic Boarding School Maslakul Huda to instill religious values ​​in their communities.

Polymer-drug conjugates as nano-sized multi-targeting systems for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative condition. There are clear markers for the presence and progression of the disease, including β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques and Tau tangles, with many potential causes debated in the scientific community. Most existing treatments only provide symptomatic solutions. Due to poor aqueous solubility and possibly limited uptake across the blood–brain barrier (BBB), medications targeting the hallmarks of AD are still under study despite enormous efforts. Recently, nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems have demonstrated remarkable promise as precision medicines that may effectively increase bioavailability, permeate the BBB, and improve the targeting ability of a variety of pharmaceuticals. Polymer therapeutics have made tremendous progress in recent years, particularly in cancer treatment. Polymer–drug conjugates (PDCs) typically have a longer half-life, higher stability, and enhanced water solubility. Polymers serve as carriers for the administration of drugs, proteins, targeting moieties, and imaging agents in polymeric and macromolecular prodrugs. Numerous commercially viable PDCs for the treatment of various diseases have already proved their potential. This paper focuses mainly on the rationale for the design, synthesis, and potential use of PDCs as a multi-target treatment for neurodegenerative diseases

Implementasi Konsep Lean Manufacturing Untuk Meminimalkan Waktu Keterlambatan Penyelesaian Produk ”a” Sebagai Value Pelanggan (Studi Kasus PT. Tsw (Tuban Steel Work)

PT. TSW (Tuban Steel Work) is a company engaged in manufacturing fabricated (make to order) with the commitment and the goal of providing effective services, convenient and timely delivery. But in fact, the company's commitment to the purpose can not be achieved that delays the project completion time is not in accordance with the order due date. Based on the observations made in the study, this is due to some events that can not add value or called by the waste (non-value added). This study aims to identify waste, analysis of contributing factors and recommendations for improvement as the system improvement efforts in creating customer value. By using the concept of lean manufacturing this study begins by describing the current state map and weighting of the waste system, waste weights were analyzed by matrix VALSAT used to identify waste in the system, to analyze the causes of waste by fishbone diagram to illustrate the root cause of waste and failures mode system analysis using failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) to determine the value of risk priority number (RPN) of the potential causes and potential effects of waste that occurs. The results showed that the waste that occurs is that there are waiting on purchasing activities (supplier), marking-up cutting and fit-up welding. From the discussion, the company recommended improving information systems internal-external (supplier) as well as improvements in the fabrication process activities

PREPARATION OF BARIUM HEXAFERRITE BY SOL GEL SELF COMBUSTION USING POLYVINYL ALCOHOL

PREPARATION OF BARIUM HEXAFERRITE BY SOL GEL SELF COMBUSTION USING POLYVINYL ALCOHOL. Barium hexaferrite powders were produced by sol-gel auto-combustion. Ferric and barium nitrate in the molar ratio of 1:2, and Poly Vinyl Alcohol (PVA) are used as starting materials. After gelation with ammonium hydroxide, dehydration and subsequent mechanical milling, auto combustion and calcination at temperature from 300 oC to 1250 oC were performed to produce barium ferrite powder. XRD pattern showed barium ferrite phase started to form at temperature of 500 oC and grew to single phase at 1000 oC, with hexagonal structure. At this stage, the powder has saturation and remanence magnetization of 50.9 emu/g and 33.6 emu/g, respectively, and coercivity of 2.94 kOe
