SELULOSA NANOSERAT TANDAN SAWIT SEBAGAI MATRIKS FILM INDIKATOR ALAMI KESEGARAN PANGAN

The food freshness is one trending topic that currently studied to reduce the number of food waste. The development of food freshness film indicator is one technique that can be utilized to resolve the high number of food waste. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of cellulose nanofiber film that had been integrated with anthocyanine as the food freshness film indicator. Cellulose nanofiber was obtained from empty fruit bunch of palm oil that had been dried, cut, and milled into fine powder. The initial step of this preparation was bleaching process using NaOCl/NH3 and H2O2/NH3. After bleaching process, cellulose fiber was oxidized using TEMPO/NaOCl/NaBr at pH 10 for 6 h. The TEMPO-oxidized cellulose fiber was then transferred into high pressure-homogenizer for 6-cycles at 800 bar of pressure. The cellulose nanofiber was obtained as hydrated fiber (gel-like) and then combined with anthocyanine obtaining from red cabbage extract, the film was casted on the acrylic plate. The film indicator of cellulose nanofiber was analyzed to determine the characteristic of film, i.e., color stability depending on pH, morphology, mechanical properties, and color response of film on the food freshness. The film of cellulose nanofiber that integrated with anthocyanin extract has the good sensitiveness to test the food freshness at 4oC. The color change produced by this indicator film is quite significant and has a different color at each pH value

TEORI PERKEMBANGAN KOGNITIF PIAGET DAN IMPLIKASI DALAM PEMBELAJARAN MATEMATIKA

Perkembangan kognitif adalah tahap-tahap perkembangan kognitif manusia mulai dari usia anak-anak sampai dewasa; mulai dari proses-proses berpikir secara konkret sampai dengan yang lebih tinggi yaitu konsep-konsep anstrak dan logis. Jean Piaget seorang pakar yang banyak melakukan penelitian tentang perkembangan kemampuan kognitif manusia, mengemukakan dalam teorinya bahwa kemampuan kognitif manusia terdiri atas 4 tahap dari lahir hingga dewasa. Tahap dan urutan berlaku untuk semua usia tetapi usia pada saat seseorang mulai memasuki tahap tertentu tidak sama untuk setiap orang. Keempat tahap perkembangan itu digambarkan dalam teori Piaget sebagai 1) Tahap sensorimotor: umur 0 – 2 tahun (anak mengalami dunianya melalui gerak dan inderanya serta mempelajari permanensi obyek); 2) Tahap pra-operasional: umur 2 – 7 tahun (Ciri pokok perkembangannya adalah penggunaan symbol/bahasa tanda dan konsep intuitif); 3) Tahap operasional konkret: umur 7 – 11/12 tahun (anak mulai berpikir secara logis tentang kejadian-kejadian konkret); 4) Tahap operasional formal: umur 11/12 ke atas. (Ciri pokok perkembangannya adalah hipotesis, abstrak, deduktif dan induktif serta logis dan probabilitas ). Bagi guru matematika, teori Piaget jelas sangat relevan, karena dengan menggunakan teori ini, guru dapat mengetahui adanya tahap-tahap perkembangan tertentu pada kemampuan berpikir anak di kelasnya. Dengan demikian guru bisa memberikan perlakuan yang tepat bagi siswanya, misalnya dalam memilih cara penyampaian materi bagi siswa, penyediaan alat-alat peraga dan sebagainya, sesuai dengan tahap perkembangan kemampuan berpikir yang dimiliki oleh siswa masing-masing. Guru perlu mencermati apakah symbol-simbol matematika yang digunakan guru dalam mengajar cukup mudah dipahami siswa, dengan mengingat tingkat kemampuan berpikir yang dimiliki oleh masing-masing siswa

Peripheral neuropathy is disorder in the edge or periphery of nerve which can cause symptoms such as the feeling of inflammation, cold pain, electric shock, prickling sensation in a part of the body, pain as if pierced by needles, numb, and itchy. One of the causes of peripheral neuropathy is the shaking from the seats and steering wheels. Not only will the work comfort and fatigue of workers who are exposed to this shaking be disturbed but they can also be detrimental to peripheral neuropathic. The research was an analytic survey with cross sectional design. The data were analyzed by using univatriate analysis and bivatriate analysis with chi square test. The population was 40 drivers of urban transportation line 95 in Medan, and all of them were used as the samples, using total sampling technique. The result of the research showed that the variable of work period was p > 0.05 which indicated that there was no correlation between the length of service and the incidence of peripheral neuropathic in the respondents, in 2015. The variable of the length of service was p < 0.05 which indicated that there was the correlation between the length of service and the incidence of peripheral neuropathic in the respondents, in 2015. The shaking measurement of the drivers\u27 seats was 118.64 µm and of the drivers\u27 steering wheels was 87.065 µm. According to the Decree of the Minister of State for Environment No. 49/1996, this shaking could arouse uncomfortable reaction to workers.
