GAMELAN PAKURMATAN SEBAGAI UNSUR RITUAL BUDAYA JAWA YANG LUGAS DAN MEMPESOAN

Abstract: Gamelan Pakurmatan is a specific gamelan music ensemble of Javanese people, especially in Surakarta and Jogyakarta. The ensemble is played to welcome invited guests in a ceremony. According to palace tradition, playing the music to welcome the birth of king’s child is not uncommon. Recently, the function of the music expands; the ensemble is not only found in palace but also in massive areas around common people. As the traditional art training centre of the archipelago, especially Java, ISI Surakarta art institure has four ensembles of gamelan pakurmatan. The physical form is relatively huge, but the repertoire is simple without complicated interlocking figuration, the piece is pain. Rbab,Gendr instruments, and vocal arts are not employed. The mallet is big, which requires extra stamina to play the music especially in playing the sekaten piece. At this time Gamelan Pakuratan is part of ISI Surakarta’s academic curicullum. The ensemble is often empliyed in collaboration to produce new musical composition or dance accompaniment by several komposers in and around ISI Surakarta

PENGENALAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN MEGURU KUPING DAN MEGURU PANGGUL DALAM PENGAJARAN KARAWITAN JAWA DI STSI SURAKARTA

Model pembelajaran merupakan cara yang ditempuh oleh komponen lembaga pendidika unruk mencapai sasaran pendidikan yang optimal baik formal maupun non formal. Umumnya beragam model pembelajaran diterapkan di lembaga-lembaga pendidikan seperti STSI Surakarta sebagai salah satu perguruan tinggi seni negeri yang bergerak dalam dua ranah pokok yaitu ilmu dan seni sebagai bidang kajiannya. Dalam operasional kegiatannya STSI Surakarta menerapkan berbagai model pembelajaran, diantaranya model ceramah, diskusi, latihan/praktek, penulisan notasi, mendengarkan rekaman video, audio dan sebagainya. Model pembelajaran “Meguru kuping dan Meguru panggul” sebagai salah satu model pembelajaran karawitan tradisional Bali kini diperkenalkan di Jurusan Karawitan STSI Surakarta. Model ini diterapkan dalam mata kuliah praktik Karawitan Jawa. Model ini menekankan pada ketajaman pendengaran dan penglihatan peserta ajar dalam menangkap contoh yang diberikan sang pengajar. Tujuan yang ingin dicapai agar peserta ajar dapat menguasai materi ajar dengan cepat dan tidak mudah lupa kendati tidak melalui jembatan notasi yang tidak dapat mewakili sepenuhnya terhadap garap ricikan tertentu

Challenges and successes in the treatment of hemophilia: the story of a patient with severe hemophilia A and high-titer inhibitors

In the past, patients with severe hemophilia have suffered a substantially reduced quality of life with frequent bleeding episodes, disabling arthropathy, and shorter life expectancy. In addition, methods of treatment and management have been costly and time-consuming, and have placed a considerable burden on patients’ physical and psychological well-being. With the advent of the on-demand therapy and prophylactic treatment paradigm, patients have been able to receive care with less interruption of daily activities. Treatments may be more challenging for hemophiliacs with inhibitors to replacement factor; however, recent advances in the use of bypassing agents and immune tolerance therapy have enabled them to aggressively manage their disease while maintaining their independence. This review focuses on the challenges of treating such a severe hemophiliac through examination of the lifetime experience of a young adult male with a severe form of congenital hemophilia A. At this stage of his life, the patient has minimal disabilities and is inhibitor-free through optimal care and strong family support. His aspiration to pursue a productive life has led him to a career in medicine. After receiving his medical degree, he pursued a specialty in the treatment of hemophilia. By assisting other hemophilia patients, he exemplifies both the rewards of persevering through episodes of bleeding and other complications and the fact that disabilities can be minimized when managed meticulously and in a timely fashion to enable a productive and dignified life

Evaluation of a flipped examination model implemented in a final-year undergraduate pharmacotherapeutics course

© 2019, American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. All rights reserved. Objective. To assess final-year pharmacy students’ performance on and evaluate their experience with a “flipped examination” vs a traditional examination for an advanced clinical pharmacy course. Methods. Students devised multiple-choice questions for the flipped examination. The Biggs revised 2-factor Study Process Questionnaire was administered before and after the examination to assess any possible changes in the students’ perceptions of their level of engagement in the learning process. Focus group discussions also were conducted to further gauge the students’ feedback and insights into the flipped examination experience. Results. Changes in mean total study process scores at the deep and surface levels of learning were significant. The flipped examination experience was enjoyable, facilitated a less-stressful learning environment, and improved the students’ learning satisfaction, knowledge, and assessment grades. Conclusion. The flipped examination model is an innovative instructional approach that can bring about significant educational gains if designed well pedagogically

Follicular thyroid carcinoma: Differences in clinical relevance between minimally invasive and widely invasive tumors

Evidence on the biological behavior and clinical courses of minimally invasive and widely invasive follicular thyroid carcinoma (MI-FTC, WI-FTC) is still debatable. The current study was conducted to identify differences between MI and WI tumors and those prognostic parameters influencing late outcome such as local recurrence and survival

General analysis and optimization of the four-detector photopolarimeter

The four-detector photopolarimeter (FDP) is analyzed for an arbitrary spatial configuration and any reflection characteristics (ri, ψi, Δi) of the first three detectors. The instrument matrix A, which relates the output signal vector I to the input Stokes vector S by I = AS, and its determinant are derived explicitly. The essential condition that A be nonsingular (det A ≠ 0) is satisfied in general with uncoated absorbing detector surfaces, assuming that the plane of incidence (POI) is rotated between successive reflections by other than 90°. Therefore no special coatings on the detectors are required, and a thin dielectric (e.g., thermal oxide) layer would suffice. The differential reflection phase shift Δ is unrestricted for the first and 0third detectors and has optimum values of ±90° for the second. The optimum rotation angles of the POI are ±45° and ±135°. The optimum values of the surface parameter ψ are 27.37°, 22.5° or 67.5°, and 0 or 90° for the first, second, and third reflections, respectively. The following topics are also considered: (1) the partition of energy among detectors, (2) the effect of tilting the last detector, (3) operation of the FDP over a broadband spectral range, (4) choice of the light-beam path, and (5) calibration
