Development of Prezi-Based KOH Link Learning Media in Elementary School Science Lessons

The background of this research is because the Prezi application-based KOH Link learning media has not yet been developed in science learning. In the learning process, the teacher already uses learning media but is less creative, while at school the facilities and infrastructure are adequate, such as LCD projectors. This study aims to determine the process of developing prezi-based KOH Link learning media products, to determine the level of effectiveness of learning media. This type of research is research and development (research and development) of the Four-D model which consists of defining, designing, developing, and disseminating. Data collection techniques are carried out by carrying out effectiveness. Data analysis techniques are performed by calculating the average value of the results of effectiveness. The results showed that classical completeness was 81.48% with very good criteria and student responses obtained an average of 3.7 with very positive criteria. Thus, it can be concluded that the Prezi-based KOH Link learning media in classifying animals based on the type of food is very effective as one of the media in science subjects

La Representación y comunicación : la imagen de España en China

El presente trabajo analiza la percepción actual de España en China, concretamente en el ámbito de cultura y turismo. Para lo que se han utilizado tres métodos que incluyen las opiniones obtenidas de una encuesta realizada al ciudadano general, y los datos analizados por la red social más influyente en China - Sina Weibo, junto con los criterios de expertos en la cultura española y enseñanza del idioma a través de realización de entrevista a profundidad. España cuenta con una vasta experiencia en la construcción de su imagen nacional en el ámbito global. Al mismo tiempo, cada día hay más estudios novedosos en el campo académico enfocados a la Imagen País. En el presente trabajo, analizamos la imagen de España que es reflejada por Internet en China actualmente. Empleamos tres métodos fundamentales para realizar dicha investigación. Con el objetivo de comprender la propagación de la imagen de España en línea en China desde diferentes perspectivas y también conocer sus insuficiencias y planificar sugerencias con técnicas derivadas del estudio. Hay que subrayar que el presente trabajo no pretende hacer una revisión de la realidad de España sino de su imagen y percepción, lo que es muy distinto

TINGKAT EFISIENSI SALURAN PEMASARAN KOMODITAS BERAS (Studi Kasus: Desa Polenga Kecamatan Watubangga Kabupaten Kolaka)

The number of rice production produced by Kolaka Regency is included in the five largest in Southeast Sulawesi Province. It is interesting to study whether this fact has a real impact on farmers as the first marketing agency. Polenga Village was chosen as the research location because this village is one of the largest rice-producing villages in Kolaka Regency. Writing this article aims to 1) identify rice marketing patterns in Polenga Village, 2) analyze the amount of marketing margin in Polenga Village, and 3) analyze the functions of marketing institutions carried out by each rice marketing agency in Polenga Village. This type of research is descriptive, qualitative and quantitative. Sources of data in this study, namely primary data obtained from respondents and secondary data obtained from agencies related to the research. The analysis carried out is the analysis of marketing margins and analysis of the functions of marketing institutions. The results showed that there were three main patterns of rice marketing in Polenga Village, namely: (I) from farmers directly to consumers, (II) from farmers to collectors and then to consumers, and (III) from farmers to collectors to retailers and ends up in the consumer. The second finding is that the highest marketing margin value is in Marketing Channel III, which is IDR 1.000 per kilogram. Meanwhile, in the second marketing channel, only IDR 500 per kilogram and the marketing channel I no marketing margin was found. Based on the analysis of the functions of marketing institutions, each institution has performed three main functions of marketing institutions, namely the physical function, the exchange function, and the facility function. The conclusion that can be drawn is that the most efficient marketing channel is Marketing Channel I where no marketing marjin is found and direct sales occur to consumers

Identification of Sare0718 As an Alanine-Activating Adenylation Domain in Marine Actinomycete Salinispora arenicola CNS-205

BACKGROUND: Amino acid adenylation domains (A domains) are critical enzymes that dictate the identity of the amino acid building blocks to be incorporated during nonribosomal peptide (NRP) biosynthesis. NRPs represent a large group of valuable natural products that are widely applied in medicine, agriculture, and biochemical research. Salinispora arenicola CNS-205 is a representative strain of the first discovered obligate marine actinomycete genus, whose genome harbors a large number of cryptic secondary metabolite gene clusters. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: In order to investigate cryptic NRP-related metabolites in S. arenicola CNS-205, we cloned and identified the putative gene sare0718 annotated "amino acid adenylation domain". Firstly, the general features and possible functions of sare0718 were predicted by bioinformatics analysis, which suggested that Sare0718 is a soluble protein with an AMP-binding domain contained in the sequence and its cognate substrate is L-Val. Then, a GST-tagged fusion protein was expressed and purified to further explore the exact adenylation activity of Sare0718 in vitro. By a newly mentioned nonradioactive malachite green colorimetric assay, we found that L-Ala but not L-Val is the actual activated amino acid substrate and the basic kinetic parameters of Sare0718 for it are K(m) = 0.1164±0.0159 (mM), V(max) = 3.1484±0.1278 (µM/min), k(cat) = 12.5936±0.5112 (min(-1)). CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: By revealing the biochemical role of sare0718 gene, we identified an alanine-activating adenylation domain in marine actinomycete Salinispora arenicola CNS-205, which would provide useful information for next isolation and function elucidation of the whole cryptic nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS)-related gene cluster covering Sare0718. And meanwhile, this work also enriched the biochemical data of A domain substrate specificity in newly discovered marine actinomycete NRPS system, which bioinformatics prediction will largely depend on
