Strategi Coping Pada Kejenuhan Santri Kelas XII Dalam Mata Pelajaran Berbasis Bahasa Arab

The aim of this study was to find out the coping strategies that used by female high school student of Assalaam boarding school to solving the burnout in Arabic lesson. The method of this study is descriptive qualitative. Interview and observation are used as the method. The subject of this study is 13 of 12th grade female student who have already studied in 6 years.The result of this study showed that all the subjects had the experience of burnout in Arabis lesson. The factors are often meet Arabic lesson, not understand enough to Arabic lesson, vocabularies that rarely heard, the way of teacher’s explanation, the lesson it self is difficult the learning materials are more difficult, the text books are using Arabic without harakat, often sleepy in class room, too many subjects to be memorized, monotone, and lost interest in Arabis lesson. The coping straegies that used to prevent the burnout are : giving colorful lines in the text book, study together with friends, motivate themselve, self-awareness, make mid mapping, leave the classroom a minute to get fresh air, sleep in the classroom, drawing, walk around in the classroom, and have conversation with chairmat

Value Engineering Study of the Repair of Transverse Cracking in Asphalt Concrete Pavements

DTFH61-87-C-00064This report summarizes the results of a cooperative value engineering study on the repair of transverse cracks in asphalt concrete pavements. The objective of the study was to optimize the expenditure of maintenance funding through an in-depth study of the present methods, materials, and equipments being used, and the development of better methods, materials, and equipment, and work crews, for optimum and safe repair of such cracks. This report contains recommendations and guidelines on crack preparation, materials, equipment, and timing to effect cost-effective repairs to transverse cracks in asphalt pavements. All team members agree that timely, effective crack sealing extends pavement life and reduces future maintenance costs

A multicriteria lifespan energy efficiency approach to intelligent building assessment

This paper presents a multicriteria decision-making model for lifespan energy efficiency assessment of intelligent buildings (IBs). The decision-making model called IBAssessor is developed using an analytic network process (ANP) method and a set of lifespan performance indicators for IBs selected by a new quantitative approach called energy-time consumption index (ETI). In order to improve the quality of decision-making, the authors of this paper make use of previous research achievements including a lifespan sustainable business model, the Asian IB Index, and a number of relevant publications. Practitioners can use the IBAssessor ANP model at different stages of an IB lifespan for either engineering or business oriented assessments. Finally, this paper presents an experimental case study to demonstrate how to use IBAssessor ANP model to solve real-world design tasks

Pro-Inflammatory S100A8 and S100A9 Proteins: Self-Assembly into Multifunctional Native and Amyloid Complexes

S100A8 and S100A9 are EF-hand Ca2+ binding proteins belonging to the S100 family. They are abundant in cytosol of phagocytes and play critical roles in numerous cellular processes such as motility and danger signaling by interacting and modulating the activity of target proteins. S100A8 and S100A9 expression levels increased in many types of cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases and they are implicated in the numerous disease pathologies. The Ca2+ and Zn2+-binding properties of S100A8/A9 have a pivotal influence on their conformation and oligomerization state, including self-assembly into homo- and heterodimers, tetramers and larger oligomers. Here we review how the unique chemical and conformational properties of individual proteins and their structural plasticity at the quaternary level account for S100A8/A9 functional diversity. Additional functional diversification occurs via non-covalent assembly into oligomeric and fibrillar amyloid complexes discovered in the aging prostate and reproduced in vitro. This process is also regulated by Ca2+and Zn2+-binding and effectively competes with the formation of the native complexes. High intrinsic amyloid-forming capacity of S100A8/A9 proteins may lead to their amyloid depositions in numerous ailments characterized by their elevated expression patterns and have additional pathological significance requiring further thorough investigation

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Subsequent Trauma Exposure: The Role of Peer Deviancy

Individuals with ADHD symptoms are at an increased risk of lifetime trauma exposure. However, research has yet to examine specific mechanisms that may explain the association between symptoms of ADHD and experiencing traumatic events. One construct that may account for the relationship between ADHD symptoms and trauma is deviant peer association, given the risk symptoms of ADHD pose for comorbid deviant peer affiliation. Additionally, peer deviancy has been independently associated with a heightened risk for experiencing potentially traumatic events. However, no study (to our knowledge) has examined peer deviancy as a potential mechanism for the increased risk between ADHD symptoms and trauma exposure. The present study sought to examine whether peer deviancy mediates the relationship between childhood ADHD symptoms and subsequent trauma exposure across a 20-year longitudinal cohort study. Participants’ (N = 404) teachers completed the TOCA-R, which was used to derive a continuous measure of ADHD symptoms. A dichotomous variable was created to assess whether participants experienced a traumatic event between Wave 17 and Wave 20, as assessed via the DIS-IV. To measure deviant peer association, participants completed the Exposure to Deviant Peers self-report scale at Wave 16. Results indicated that ADHD symptoms in childhood were a significant predictor of deviant peer association in young adulthood and that deviant peer association in young adulthood was a significant predictor of young adult trauma exposure yet there was no direct relationship between ADHD symptoms and trauma exposure. Analyses revealed a significant indirect effect in that deviant peer associations mediated the relationship between childhood ADHD symptoms and trauma exposure in young adulthood. These results suggest that targeting peer deviancy in adolescents and young adults, especially in those with elevated ADHD symptoms, may be one strategy for reducing the risk of trauma exposure
