Students' Attitude Toward the Implementation of Teaching Listening Using Dictoglos Technique

Listening is the basis for the development of all other skills and the main channel through which the learner makes initial contact with the target language and its culture. Dictogloss technique is a classroom dictation activity in which learners listen to a passage, note down key words and then work together to create a reconstructed version of the text. This activity combines individual and group activities. The students' attitude toward its implementation in listening teaching learning process in investigated in this study. It is a case study in the second year students of English Department Faculty of Teacher Training Nusantara PGRI Kediri University. The subject of the study was 2C class that consists of 38 students. The structured interview and closed ended questionnaire were used to know the students' attitude towards dictogloss. It was founded that the students have positive attitudes towards this technique especially in the affective aspect.It is suggested that the English teacher should use dictogloss technique in teaching listening comprehension since it the students found it interesting and challenging for them to be more active in teaching and learning process

Tingkat Kelelahan Pilot Indonesia dalam Menerbangkan Pesawat Komersial Rute Pendek

This study attempts to examine the fatigue of pilots who fly the commercial aircraft on short route since they have to make several take-off and landing during their duty time for short route flight. The method of paired t-test was used to measure the condition of the pilots before and after their duty time. In addition, the factors that the pilots most felt in contributing to the level of fatigue were also explored in this study. The results indicate that the pilots experience fatigue when flying short routes in their duty time and the factor that contributes the most to the pilots\u27 fatigue is the external factor related to their duty as a pilot. Penelitian ini berusaha menggali kelelahan pilot yang menerbangkan pesawat komersial rute pendek, karena pilot yang menerbangkan rute pendek dalam menjalankan flight duty time membutuhkan beberapa kali dalam melakukan take off maupun landing. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode uji t secara berpasangan dengan mengukur kondisi pilot sebelum bertugas dengan kondisi sesudah bertugas, selain itu penelitian ini juga berusaha menggali faktor-faktor terbesar yang dirasakan oleh pilot dalam menyumbang tingkat kelelahan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat kelelahan yang dirasakan oleh pilot dalam melaksanakan rute pendek dan faktor terbesar yang menyumbang kelelahan adalah faktor eksternal yang berkaitan dengan tugas mereka sebagai pilot

Perlindungan Hukum Bagi Pelaku Tindak Pidana Aborsi (Abortus Provocatus) Korban Perkosaan

Pada saat sekarang ini, aborsi merupakan suatu masalah yang sangat kontroversi yang mana terdapat banyak pihak yang pro dan kontra atas aborsi tersebut. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji dari perpektif yuridis tentang bagaimana hukum pidana melalui peraturan Perundang-undangan yang ada memberikan perlindungan hukum khususnya terhadap korban perkosaan yang melakukan aborsi (abortus provokatus). Perempuan sebagai korban perkosaan yang hamil dan kemudian memilih aborsi sebagai cara untuk mengakhiri kehamilannya tersebut dikatakan sebagai pelaku tindak pidana aborsi, yang mana dalam kepustakaan hukum pidana disebut dengan tindak pidana “pengguguran kandungan”(abortus provocatus). Adapun perlindungan hukum pada korban perkosaan yang melakukan abortus provocatus tersebut ditinjau dari Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana (KUHP) yang berlaku sebagai Lex Generale, dan juga berdasarkan ketentuan yang terdapat dalam UU No. 36 Tahun 2009 tentang Kesehatan yang merupakan pengganti dari UU Kesehatan lama, yaitu UU No. 23 Tahun 1992 yang berlaku sebagai Lex Speciale

Uji Fitokimia dan Penapisan Senyawa Anti Malaria Asal Tumbuhan Benta (Wikstroemia SP.) terhadap Plasmodium Falciparum

Wikstroemia sp. is used in traditional medicine for medical purposes including malaria in Bangka and Belitung island. However, its use is largely based on the empirical experience rather than scientific investi-gation. The aim of this study is to identify the plant, to investigate the present of some kind of biochemical compound, and to evaluate in vitro antiplasmodial activity of ethanol extracts of Wikstroemia sp. leaves and fruits to Plasmodium falciparum. A visual method was allowed to evaluate the in vitro antiplasmodial activity of the extracts against P. falciparum. The number of parasites per 5,000 erythrocytes on thin Giemsa stained smears was calculated microscopically. IC50 values were determined by probit analysis of SPSS 13 program. The study showed, the plant was identified as Wikstroemia lanceolata. Some biochemical compound which have been investigated were phenol, saponin, and steroid. The antiplasmodial activity of ethanol extracts of Wikstroemia lanceolata fruits and leaves on P. falciparum were not effective as IC50>100 μg/mL. The highest inhibition of 100 μg/mL of Wikstroemia lanceolata fruits and leaves were 5.95% and 16.99% respectively

Penerapan Metode Capital Asset Pricing Model (Capm) Sebagai Salah Satu Upaya Untuk Menentukan Kelompok Saham Efisien (Studi Pada Saham Perusahaan Sektor Industri Pengolahan Yang Terdaftar Di Bei Tahun 2009-2012)

This research aims to classify efficient stocks and inefficient stock using the Capital Asset Pricing Model approach (CAPM), it really helps the investors to make the right investment decisions. The object of research is done in the manufacturing sector shares which are listed in the Stock Exchange 2009-2012 . Based on the research result and the analysis that have been done, it can be seen that from the 11 manufacturing company shares which are used as the research sample, there are two company stocks that belong to inefficient company shares category. The shares can be said to inefficient because it has less rate of return than the expected individual rate of return, the decision which should be taken by investors is to sell the shares before prices overvalued. The amount of other processing industry company samples that are categorized as efficient shares category is 9 (nine) companies. The shares can be said to be efficient because it has a greater rate of return than the expected individual rate of return, the decision that have to be taken by the investor is taking or buying stock for undervalued

MODELING OF SOYBEAN PRODUCTION IN INDONESIA USING ROBUST REGRESSION

Soybean is considered as a vital commodity for food security, but apparently the production is unable to compensate the rate of increase in community needs. Therefore, this commodity plays an important role in economic life and indirectly may affect the level of demand for other materials. So the availability of soybean plays a major role for economic stability. The aim of this paper is to construct a robust regression model for predicting the soybean production in Indonesia using M-estimation. Based on the data obtained from Susenas and BPS, we obtain a robust regression model for soybean production.Harvested area and productivity have significant influence, while production of seed does not have significant influence on soybean production. The increment of one hectare harvested area and one quintal per hectare of productivity will increase 1.34 tons and 574 tons of soybean production respectively.Keywords: Robust regression, M-estimation, Huber function, soybean
