    Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh kelemahan siswa dalam menulis cerpen, sehingga diperlukan strategi pembelajaran yang tepat untuk diterapkan dalam pembelajaran menulis cerpen. Berdasarkan latar belakang tersebut, penulis menyusun rumusan masalah: 1) Bagaimana kemampuan siswa dalam menulis cerpen sebelum dan sesudah menggunakan Strategi Bersafari pada kelas eksperimen; 2) Bagaimana kemampuan siswa dalam menulis cerpen sebelum dan setelah tes tanpa menggunakan Strategi Bersafari pada kelas kontrol; 3)Adakah perbedaan yang signifikan antara kemampuan siswa dalam menulis cerpen dengan menggunakan Strategi Bersafari di kelas eksperimen dan tanpa menggunakan Strategi Bersafari di kelas kontrol. Adapun tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan hal-hal yang tercantum dalam rumusan masalah tersebut. Strategi pembelajaran yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Strategi Bersafari. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode eksperimen semu dengan desain pretest-posttest control group. Teknik pengolahan data dalam penelitian ini berupa pengolahan data kuantitatif yang meliputi uji reliabilitas, normalitas, homogenitas, dan uji hipotesis. Terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara kemampuan siswa dalam menulis cerpen di kelas eksperimen dan di kelas kontrol. Hal ini bisa dlihat dari pemerolehan hasil posttest antara kedua kelas. Hasil posttest kelas eskperimen sebesar 73, sementara hasil posttest kelas kontrol sebesar 67. Berdasarkan hasil uji hipotesis dengan menentukan thitung, diperoleh nilai thitung = 5,81 dan ttabel = 2,36, sehingga thitung = 5,81 > ttabel = 2,36. Maka hipotesis H1 diterima, yaitu terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara kemampuan siswa dalam menulis cerpen di kelas eksperimen dan di kelas kontrol

    <p>Pink1 loss induces increased superoxide production that inactivates the Acon[4Fe-4S] resulting in the generation of Fe<sup>2+</sup> and H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. These combine to form hydroxyl radicals that lead to mitochondrial failure. Mitoferritin chelates Fe<sup>2+</sup> and is thus able to rescue mitochondrial failure in <i>pink1</i> mutants. Acon inactivation act in parallel to Parkin-mediated mitophagy in controlling mitochondrial integrity.</p
