Cultural Variation in Language and Conversation

Across cultures variation in the ways of speaking reflects important differences in beliefs, practices, values, and norms. These differences enter into the organization and systematic use of language at many levels in every community. Cultures vary along many dimensions; their ways of organizing groups, their ways of growing and distributing food, their beliefs and practices with regard to health and illness and so forth. Another major area in which cultures differ is their ways of speaking. It follows then, that when children are acquiring their language they are being spoken to and are learning to talk to others according to ways of speaking that reflect the beliefs and values of their particular speech community

PEMANFAATAN PERASAN BELIMBING WULUH (Averrhoa bilimbi L) DALAM MENGHAMBAT PERTUMBUHAN ANGKA KUMAN PADA DAGING AYAM

Abstrak ___________________________________________________________________ Kerusakan pada daging dapat disebabkan karena adanya benturan fisik, perubahan kimia, dan aktivitas mikroba. Empat jam setelah pemotongan, tanpa pengawet daging ayam mulai rusak. Tanaman belimbing wuluh memiliki banyak manfaat dari daun, buah bahkan batangnya. Kandungan flavonoid pada belimbing wuluh bekerja dengan cara merusak membran sitoplasma sehingga bakteri akan rusak dan mati. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui perasan belimbing wuluh  (Averrhoa bilimbi L) dalam menghambat pertumbuhan angka kuman pada ayam potong segar. Jenis penelitian ini adalah eksperimen murni dengan rancangan pre and post test with control. Peneliti memberikan perlakuan atau intervensi terhadap suatu variabel. Dari perlakuan tersebut diharapkan terjadi perubahan atau pengaruh terhadap variabel yang lain. Hasil penelitian ini menghasilkan rata-rata angka kuman pada kontrol 0, 2, 4, dan 6 jam adalah 1,1 × 109 CFU/gr ; 1,65 × 108 CFU/gr ; 1,69 × 108 CFU/gr ; 5,7 × 108  CFU/gr. Sedangkan rerata angka kuman pada daging ayam yang direndam dengan menggunakan variasi lama perendaman dengan menggunakan perasan belimbing wuluh dengan berbagai variasi lama perendaman pada 0, 2, 4, dan 6 jam sebesar 1,1 × 109 CFU/gr ; 7,4 × 107 CFU/gr  ; 8,5 ×108  CFU/gr ; 1,4 × 109 CFU/gr. Jadi dapat disimpulkan bahwa perasan belimbing wuluh berpengaruh terhadap penurunan jumlah angka kuman pada waktu 2 jam perlakuan. Kata Kunci:  angka kuman, belimbing wuluh, daging ayam, flavonoid  Abstract Damage to meat can be caused due to physical impacts, chemical changes, and microbial activity. Four hours after cutting, without preservatives chicken meat begins to spoil. Star fruit plants have many benefits from leaves, fruits and even stems. The flavonoid content in star fruit works by damaging the cytoplasmic membrane so that bacteria will be damaged and die. The purpose of this study was to determine the squeeze of star fruit (Averrhoa bilimbi L) in inhibiting the growth of germ numbers in fresh cut chicken. This type of research is a pure experiment with pre and post test design with control. Researchers provide treatment or intervention on a variable. From this treatment, changes or influences on other variables are expected. The results of this study resulted in the average number of germs in 0, 2, 4, and 6-hour controls was 1.1 × 109 CFU / gr; 1.65 × 108 CFU/gr ; 1.69 × 108 CFU/gr ; 5.7 × 108 CFU/gr. While the average germ number in marinated chicken meat using variations in soaking time using star fruit juice with various variations in soaking time at 0, 2, 4, and 6 hours is 1.1 × 109 CFU / gr; 7.4 × 107 CFU/gr ; 8.5 ×108 CFU/gr ; 1.4 × 109 CFU/gr. So it can be concluded that star fruit juice has an effect on reducing the number of germs within 2 hours of treatment. © 20xx Universitas Abdurra

This approach is useful to analyze the process of policy change in the globalizationera that is "borderless", by combining logical thinking of the three previous approaches
