INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIVENESS OF INDONESIA’S HIGHER EDUCATION SERVICES TRADE

Asia is one of the fastest growing destinations for international students. Therefore, this paper was conducted by conducting a comparative study and empirical study with the aim to find out Indonesia's international competitiveness for the higher education service trade aspect, which is compared with seven other countries. To measure the international competitiveness in the higher education services trade, data from 2010 to 2017 on the number of sending and receiving students in a country and other more complex data have been used to obtain valid results. A comparative study conducted by calculating data from eight countries using the IMS, TCI and RCA measurement methods, and empirical analysis conducted using a questionnaire survey with 302 respondents' data obtained to find out the significant factors that influence the competitiveness. The results show that although Indonesia's higher education service trade is unstable every year, it still has certain competitiveness in the international scope. In addition, culture, quality of higher education and cost of living have a significant impact on the international competitiveness of higher education service trade. On this basis, this paper puts forward some countermeasures and suggestions on how to improve the international competitiveness of Indonesia's higher education service trade, including: promoting the development of Indonesian culture, improving the quality of higher education, reducing tuition fees and living costs, increasing the employment opportunities for foreign students and promoting the balanced growth of Indonesian economy.

Survey Of The Cardiovascular Drug Interactions On Geriatrics At Internal Medicine Ward Of RSUDZA Banda Aceh

The increase of elderly population in Indonesia leads to the drug misuse. The physiological change in geriatric become the major reason. It affects the change of    drug’s pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetics and the harmful drug interaction among overly prescribed medication. Cardiovascular drugs produce the most common side effect in elderly patient. This study aims to observe the accuracy of cardiovascular drugs used based on its dose and drug interaction. The subject of this study are the 60 years old-or more- inpatients in Rumah Sakit Umum Zainoel Abidin’s (RSUDZA) Internal medicine ward who received cardiovascular drugs prescription. The data were collected from medical record and nurse’s drugs record. The analysis were performed descriptively by evaluate the drug interaction theoritically based on literature study and available concensuses. The result shows that the Potential interaction occurred  in 75 ( 68.18 % ) of cardiovascular drug used, and 22 (20 %) of whom are important potential interactions. The most frequent drugs that have the potential interaction in this study are furosemide , spironolactone, captopril, digoxin and aspiri

The use of herbal medicine in children

The herbal medicine has been widely used in children for the treatment of several symptoms and the prevention of diseases before accessing the hospital for professionals help. There are 3 kinds of marketed herbal medicine including empirical based herbal medicine (jamu), standardized herbal medicine (obat herbal terstandar) and clininically tested herbal medicine (fitofarmaka). This study aimed to investigate the utilization of the marketed herbal medicine along with non marketed ones which was known as the Indonesian original herbal medicine (Obat Asli Indonesia, OAI) in children. The cross sectional study was conducted by interviewing 91 parents whose children were hospitalized in RSUD Meuraxa, Banda Aceh. The interview was conducted using a structured questionnaire from 4 to 29 September 2014. The result showed that the Indonesian original herbal medicine was used most frequently followed by herbal (jamu), standardized herbal and clininically tested herbal medicine. The utilization of herbal medicine was associated with the knowledge of parents and did not correlate to their economic level. All of the parents did not know the side effects of herbal medicine to their children’s body and  few of them knew  the indication of herbal  remedies. Overall, it was  concluded  that eventhough the knowledge of parents about the safety and activity of herbal medicine was not sufficient the use of herbal medicine in children was commo

Effect of 3-Day Storage and Temperature on ADP-induced Platelet Aggregation

Objective: To observe platelet functions during the 3 days of platelet storage and to evaluate the effect of storage temperature towards platelet aggregation response. Methods: Two conditions of platelet storage were used in this study: at room temperature and in a cold condition at 4 °C to observe the temperature effect on platelet aggregation. The aggregation test was performed using a 96-wells plate platelet aggregation method. Results: At room temperature on day 1, the response of platelet aggregation reduced to 34.9±10.6%, which was less than half of the aggregation of fresh platelet (100%). The aggregation on day 2 reduced modestly (26.8±4.2%), in comparison with that seen on the first day. On day 3, platelet aggregation deteriorated significantly (6±1.2%), which was comparable to the control group without the presence of platelet agonist (6.1±1.4%). When platelets are stored at 4 °C, the aggregation response to ADP stimulation was slightly different to that shown by platelets stored at room temperature (22 °C). At the 4 °C, the aggregation response was 68.11±34.2%, 57.1±21.4%, and 5.9±2.6% at day 1, day 2, and day 3, respectively. The result showed that storing the blood at 4 ˚C or room temperature was not able to preserve platelet function, as the deterioration of platelet aggregation response over time was still taking place. Although was not statistically significant, our result indicated that cold storage reduced platelet responsiveness toward ADP activation. Conclusions: This current study provides evidence of the deterioration of platelet function during first 3 days of platelet storage. Moreover, we found that storing platelets in 4 °C showed no significant benefit in preserving the ADP-induced platelet aggregation capacity compared to that stored in 22 °C.

Pembelajaran Materi Koordinat Kartesius melalui Model Pembelajaran Kooperatif Tipe TAI Berbantuan Videoscribe

Student learning activities can be improved by a Team Assisted Individualization (TAI) cooperative model using videoscribe. Video scribe learning media could increase students' interest in learning mathematics. This study aims to determine whether the implementation of the Team Assisted Individualization (TAI) type cooperative learning model using videoscribe increase student learning outcomes at a junior high school,  SMP IT Lukmanul Hakim. Data on student learning outcomes was obtained from a posttest and analyzed quantitatively using a t-test. Hypothesis test of learning outcomes data using the t-test with a significant level (α) = 0.05 and degrees of freedom (dk) = 15 obtained tcount  t table (7.74 1.75). This study concluded that the application of the Team Assisted Individualization (TAI) type cooperative model using videoscribe on Cartesian coordinates material has succecced and the students were engaged in the learning activities

Antithrombotic potential of ethanol extract from Gardenia jasminoides leaves planted in Aceh

Therapheutic agents from plants are believed to be effective, sustainable and readily available which stimulate researchers to explore various activities of plants. This study is aimed to investigate the activity of Gardenia jasminoides (G. jasminoidesleaves in enhancing the length of bleeding time and clotting time thus can be optimized to be a potential thrombolytic agent in the future. The animal were classified into 5 groups included 3 treatment groups receiving G. jasminoides leaves (GJL) extract at dose 100, 200, 300 mg/kg BW, 1 positive control receiving aspirin 0.208 mg/20 g  and 1 negative control. Mice treated with GJL extract delayed the clot formation with the highest dose showed effects as strong as positive control
