Pemanfaatan Teknologi Dan Komunikasi Guru : Telaah Terhadap Implementasi Guru Di Sekolah Dasar Abad 21 Dalam Jurnal Tahun 2015-2020
The use of technology and communication carried out by the teacher can support effective and efficient learning. Researchers found the problem that teachers at the time of giving lessons were still not implementing the use of existing technology and communication media such as LCD even though there were media that could support learning. Researchers conducted research to provide an overview of the use of technology and teacher communication in the 21st century. The aim of the study was to describe the use of technology and communication of teachers in the 21st century and to find out the obstacles and solutions. This study uses a literature study method with a qualitative approach.The validity of the data iscareful and in-depth observations to obtain data certainty, therefore researchers also read various references from various sources and research results related to the findings of researchers.Data collection techniques using documentation study and literature study in this research was carried out by collecting, selecting, analyzing important notes, which were obtained from 20 useful literature to solve problems in the research focusin the form of a checklist sheet and interviews with the teacher. Data analysis techniques use data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions or verification.The results show that some teachers have used both ICT and NON-ICT learning media to support learning, some classroom teachers do not use learning media for reasons of limited costs and inefficiency in making media, as well as inadequate teacher's ICT skills, hindering teacher communication with participants. students or even among students, the possibility of misuse of the use of ICT media in education. In the use of computer media, it has obstacles and constraints such as the occurrence of application errors when used, and technical symptoms of electricity such as power outages. Communication that occurs in learning is still ineffective, because in some classes there are still students who are embarrassed to ask questions, or no one asks questions
Lack of mitochondrial topoisomerase I (TOP1mt) impairs liver regeneration
The liver has an exceptional replicative capacity following partial hepatectomy or chemical injuries. Cellular proliferation requires increased production of energy and essential metabolites, which critically depend on the mitochondria. To determine whether Top1mt, the vertebrate mitochondrial topoisomerase, is involved in this process, we studied liver regeneration after carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) administration. TOP1mt knockout (KO) mice showed a marked reduction in regeneration and hepatocyte proliferation. The hepatic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) failed to increase during recovery from CCl4 exposure. Reduced glutathione was also depleted, indicating increased reactive oxygen species (ROS). Steady-state levels of ATP, O2 consumption, mtDNA, and mitochondrial mass were also reduced in primary hepatocytes from CCl4-treated KO mice. To further test whether Top1mt acted by enabling mtDNA regeneration, we tested TOP1mt KO fibroblasts and human colon carcinoma HCT116 cells and measured mtDNA after 3-d treatment with ethidium bromide. Both types of TOP1mt knockout cells showed defective mtDNA regeneration following mtDNA depletion. Our study demonstrates that Top1mt is required for normal mtDNA homeostasis and for linking mtDNA expansion with hepatocyte proliferation
Mass Transfer by Stellar Wind
I review the process of mass transfer in a binary system through a stellar
wind, with an emphasis on systems containing a red giant. I show how wind
accretion in a binary system is different from the usually assumed Bondi-Hoyle
approximation, first as far as the flow's structure is concerned, but most
importantly, also for the mass accretion and specific angular momentum loss.
This has important implications on the evolution of the orbital parameters. I
also discuss the impact of wind accretion, on the chemical pollution and change
in spin of the accreting star. The last section deals with observations and
covers systems that most likely went through wind mass transfer: barium and
related stars, symbiotic stars and central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPN).
The most recent observations of cool CSPN progenitors of barium stars, as well
as of carbon-rich post-common envelope systems, are providing unique
constraints on the mass transfer processes.Comment: Chapter 7, in Ecology of Blue Straggler Stars, H.M.J. Boffin, G.

Pulsar-wind nebulae and magnetar outflows: observations at radio, X-ray, and gamma-ray wavelengths
We review observations of several classes of neutron-star-powered outflows:
pulsar-wind nebulae (PWNe) inside shell supernova remnants (SNRs), PWNe
interacting directly with interstellar medium (ISM), and magnetar-powered
outflows. We describe radio, X-ray, and gamma-ray observations of PWNe,
focusing first on integrated spectral-energy distributions (SEDs) and global
spectral properties. High-resolution X-ray imaging of PWNe shows a bewildering
array of morphologies, with jets, trails, and other structures. Several of the
23 so far identified magnetars show evidence for continuous or sporadic
emission of material, sometimes associated with giant flares, and a few
possible "magnetar-wind nebulae" have been recently identified.Comment: 61 pages, 44 figures (reduced in quality for size reasons). Published

Search for direct production of charginos and neutralinos in events with three leptons and missing transverse momentum in âs = 7 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector
A search for the direct production of charginos and neutralinos in final states with three electrons or muons and missing transverse momentum is presented. The analysis is based on 4.7 fbâ1 of protonâproton collision data delivered by the Large Hadron Collider and recorded with the ATLAS detector. Observations are consistent with Standard Model expectations in three signal regions that are either depleted or enriched in Z-boson decays. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are set in R-parity conserving phenomenological minimal supersymmetric models and in simplified models, significantly extending previous results
Jet size dependence of single jet suppression in lead-lead collisions at sqrt(s(NN)) = 2.76 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC
Measurements of inclusive jet suppression in heavy ion collisions at the LHC
provide direct sensitivity to the physics of jet quenching. In a sample of
lead-lead collisions at sqrt(s) = 2.76 TeV corresponding to an integrated
luminosity of approximately 7 inverse microbarns, ATLAS has measured jets with
a calorimeter over the pseudorapidity interval |eta| < 2.1 and over the
transverse momentum range 38 < pT < 210 GeV. Jets were reconstructed using the
anti-kt algorithm with values for the distance parameter that determines the
nominal jet radius of R = 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5. The centrality dependence of
the jet yield is characterized by the jet "central-to-peripheral ratio," Rcp.
Jet production is found to be suppressed by approximately a factor of two in
the 10% most central collisions relative to peripheral collisions. Rcp varies
smoothly with centrality as characterized by the number of participating
nucleons. The observed suppression is only weakly dependent on jet radius and
transverse momentum. These results provide the first direct measurement of
inclusive jet suppression in heavy ion collisions and complement previous
measurements of dijet transverse energy imbalance at the LHC.Comment: 15 pages plus author list (30 pages total), 8 figures, 2 tables,

Effect of nesiritide in patients with acute decompensated heart failure
Background Nesiritide is approved in the United States for early relief of dyspnea in patients with acute heart failure. Previous meta-analyses have raised questions regarding renal toxicity and the mortality associated with this agent. Methods We randomly assigned 7141 patients who were hospitalized with acute heart failure to receive either nesiritide or placebo for 24 to 168 hours in addition to standard care. Coprimary end points were the change in dyspnea at 6 and 24 hours, as measured on a 7-point Likert scale, and the composite end point of rehospitalization for heart failure or death within 30 days. Results Patients randomly assigned to nesiritide, as compared with those assigned to placebo, more frequently reported markedly or moderately improved dyspnea at 6 hours (44.5% vs. 42.1%, P = 0.03) and 24 hours (68.2% vs. 66.1%, P = 0.007), but the prespecified level for significance (Pâ€0.005 for both assessments or Pâ€0.0025 for either) was not met. The rate of rehospitalization for heart failure or death from any cause within 30 days was 9.4% in the nesiritide group versus 10.1% in the placebo group (absolute difference, â0.7 percentage points; 95% confidence interval [CI], â2.1 to 0.7; P = 0.31). There were no significant differences in rates of death from any cause at 30 days (3.6% with nesiritide vs. 4.0% with placebo; absolute difference, â0.4 percentage points; 95% CI, â1.3 to 0.5) or rates of worsening renal function, defined by more than a 25% decrease in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (31.4% vs. 29.5%; odds ratio, 1.09; 95% CI, 0.98 to 1.21; P = 0.11). Conclusions Nesiritide was not associated with an increase or a decrease in the rate of death and rehospitalization and had a small, nonsignificant effect on dyspnea when used in combination with other therapies. It was not associated with a worsening of renal function, but it was associated with an increase in rates of hypotension. On the basis of these results, nesiritide cannot be recommended for routine use in the broad population of patients with acute heart failure. (Funded by Scios; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00475852.
