Peningkatan Pembelajaran Keterampilan Berbicara Melalui Media Gambar Seri di Kelas III SDN 17 Batang Anai Kabupaten Padang Pariaman

Usually, students feel reluctant to speak in front of classroom. It is caused by learning Bahasa that only focus on reading and writing skill, but less on speaking skill. This research is aimed to improve speaking skill of elementary students grade III in SDN 17 Batang Anai Kabupaten Padang Pariaman by implementing serial pictures media. This is a class action research that consists of two cycles including four steps: planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data of research were obtained through observation, interview, and test. Obtained data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. Learning output of students is improved in each cycle.In cycle I, the percentage of students’ speaking skill is 53.3%. Meanwhile in cycle II, the percentage of students’ speaking skill is 86%. Hence, it can be concluded that Bahasa learning that use serial pictures media can improve speaking skill of elementary students grade III

Predictors of hearing technology use in children

OBJECTIVE : To identify and describe predictors of daily hearing technology (HT) use in children. DESIGN : Retrospective review of clinical records. Multiple regression analyses were performed to identify predictors. STUDY SAMPLE : The sample included 505 children (<11 years of age) using hearing aids (HAs), cochlear implants (CIs), and bone conduction hearing devices (BCHDs). RESULTS : Average HT use was 9.4 h a day. Bivariate analyses yielded 31 potential predictors from the 42 variables included. The general linear model (p < 0.01, R2 = 0.605) identified 10 interacting factors that significantly associated with increased HT use. Intrinsic predictors of increased HT use included older chronological age, more severe degrees of hearing loss and older ages at diagnosis and initial HA fitting. Extrinsic predictors included the child’s ability to independently use HT, at least one CI as part of the HT fitting, coordinated onsite audiological management, self-procured batteries, auditory-oral communication mode and regular caregiver intervention attendance. CONCLUSIONS : Average HT use was high, approximating hearing hours of peers with normal hearing. CI recipients demonstrated higher HT use compared to children using other HT. The newly identified factors can predict and increase HT use in children while contributing to evidence-based intervention services that promote optimal auditory-based outcomes.https://www.tandfonline.com/loi/iija20hj2022Speech-Language Pathology and AudiologyStatistic

Predictors of hearing technology use in children with hearing loss

Prescribing hearing technology (HT) to children with hearing loss is based on the expectation that it will improve auditory-based communication outcomes, literacy, occupational prospects, and psycho-social wellbeing. The desired effect, however, can only be achieved if appropriate HT is used optimally to foster consistent, cumulative auditory experiences comparable to peers with normal hearing. Therefore, a better understanding of the factors that influence HT use in children with hearing loss is necessary to guide hearing healthcare services and facilitate auditory-based outcomes. This study aimed to identify and describe predictors of daily HT use in children with hearing loss. A retrospective review of clinical records collected data, including demographic, family, intervention, socio-economic, audiology-related, and HT information. The study sample included 505 children (<11 years of age), fitted with hearing aids (HAs), cochlear implants (CIs), and bone conduction hearing devices (BCHDs), and enrolled in a South African auditory-oral intervention program between 2010 and 2018. Results demonstrated an average HT use of 9.4 hours a day for the entire sample. Multiple regression analyses were performed to identify predictor variables that influenced HT use. From the 42 variables included in the retrospective dataset, the bivariate analyses yielded 31 potential predictor factors. The final general linear model (GLM; p <.01, R2= 0.605) identified 10 interacting factors that were significantly associated with increased HT use in children. Intrinsic predictors of increased HT use included a more severe degree of hearing loss, older ages at diagnosis and initial HA fitting, and older chronological age. Extrinsic predictors included the child’s ability to independently use HT, at least one CI as part of the HT fitting, coordinated onsite audiological management, self-procured batteries, auditory-oral communication mode, and regular caregiver intervention attendance. Six of the 10 predictors identified were novel and previously undescribed in the literature, including CI recipiency, independent HT use, caregiver intervention attendance, older ages at diagnosis and initial HA fitting, and self-procured batteries. In conclusion, the average HT use for this study sample was high but below recommended all-day HT use. Although HT use is a multi-factorial outcome measure, an extensive range of predictive factors was identified that could predict and increase HT use in children. Additionally, four of the predictors, both novel and extrinsic, are malleable, signifying that intervention can change the outcome, namely HT use. These newly described predictors of HT use can contribute to evidence-based intervention services that promote optimal auditory-based outcomes.Dissertation (MA (Audiology))--University of Pretoria, 2021.Speech-Language Pathology and AudiologyMA (Audiology)Unrestricte

Efek Pemberian Ekstrak Etanol Daun Sembukan (Paederia foetida L.) Terhadap Penurunan Kadar Asam Urat Tikus Putih (Rattus norvegicus) Jantan

Sembukan leaf is a medicinal plant that is widely used by the community, one of which is as an anti-inflammatory. This study aims to determine the effect of giving sembukan leaves (Paederia foetida L.) to decrease uric acid levels in male white rats (Rattus norvegicus). The study was carried out by testing 5 groups of white rats, namely positive control (Allopurinol 100 mg), negative control (Na.CMC suspension 0.5%), the dose of ethanol extract of sembukan leaves 10 mg/KgBB, 20 mg/KgBB, and 40 mg/KgBB. Each treatment group measured initial uric acid levels (before induction), after induction of chicken liver juice and after giving treatment or test samples using test strips. The results showed that uric acid levels in all groups decreased with the percentage decrease in uric acid levels at a dose of 10 mg/Kg BB, 20 mg/Kg BB and 40 mg/Kg BB, respectively by 13.2%, 24.5% and 54.3%. The results of the One Way Anova statistical test showed a significant difference with P value = 0.010 (α <0.05). The concentration of the extract that gave the greatest reducing effect was the extract dose of 40mg/kgBB

Amalan adat bercukur di Kelantan:satu kajian terhadap perbandingan struktur antara empat daerah

Adat adalah satu budaya yang diamalkan oleh sesebuah masyarakat.Adat dalam masyarakat melayu seperti adat bercukur telah diwarisi turun temurun sejak dari dahulu lagi.Adat bercukur adalah merujuk kepada membuang atau menggunting sebahagian rambut di kepala bayi yang baru lahir.Objektif kajian ini ialah untuk mengetahui adakah terdapat perbezaan di empat daerah pilihan pengkaji.Kebiasaannya adat bercukur ini akan diadakan selepas tujuh hari bayi dilahirkan.Ada sesetengah pendapat yang mengatakan bahawa adat bercukur ini adalah sunat dilakukan.Ada sesetengah masyarakat Kelantan yang mengatakan bahawa adat bercukur dan akikah adalah perkara yang sama kerana ianya dilakukan pada hari ke tujuh tetapi mereka masih lagi mengadakan kenduri akikah di bulan Zulhijah.Penggunaan bahan dalam adat bercukur mempunyai falsafahnya yang tersendiri.Kaedah kajian yang dilakukan oleh pengkaji adakah melalui sumber rujukan ilmiah dan juga data kuantitatif.Dalam dapatan kajian pula pengkaji telah mengetahui struktur yang telah berlaku di empat daerah pilihan pengkaji iaitu Kuala Krai,Tanah Merah,Bachok dan Kota Bharu dan telah mengetahui apakah perbezaan yang terdapat di dalam struktur adat yang ada di empat daerah tersebut.Pengkaji juga telah memberi cadangan untuk mengekalkan adat bercukur yang ada di negeri Kelantan ini antaranya ialah direkodkan di dalam CD dan sebagainya
