This research is conducted based on the view that IPA is studied not only as a product but also as a process using inquiry model. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of learning outcomes of the inquiry learning model. The research method used quantitative analysis. The results showed that the inquiry model had a significant impact on the skills of the science process and the learning outcomes of the learners.  Article visualizations

Sonographic Appearance of Abdominal Wall at the Left Flank of Laparotomy Incision Site in Ettawah Grade Does

The aim of this study was to describe the sonographic appearance of abdominal wall at the left flank of laparotomy incision site in 11 mated Ettawah grade does. Brightness-mode ultrasound examination by using transducer with frequency of 5.0-6.0 MHz was conducted to grouping the does based on their pregnancy statuses. The incision site of the abdominal wall at left flank laparotomy was transcutaneous-scanned as long as 8 cm vertically. The sonographic appearance of the laparotomy wall thickness showed that in all groups of does were similar and not different statistically. The thickness of oblique external and oblique internal abdominal muscles increased in the pregnant does as compared to non-pregnant does (P<0.05)

DISCOVERY LEARNING METHOD FOR TRAINING CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS OF STUDENTS

Teachers are not only required to teach knowledge to students but also skills. Among those demanded in the current era are critical thinking skills, where when students see a problem they are able to solve it and are able to remember what the problem is, how to solve it, and what the results might be. Classroom learning will be interesting and able to train student critical thinking skills if they are taught how to conduct research starting with simple stages to find a conclusion or knowledge. Departing from this, learning by using the method of discovery learning takes a large role with the concept of discovery which is the basis of the method to train student critical thinking skills.  Article visualizations

Characteristics and in Vitro Fertilization Ability of Ram Spermatozoa: Comparison of Epididymal and Ejaculated Spermatozoa

The characteristics and in vitro fertilization (IVF) ability of ram spermatozoa collected from cauda epididymal was examined. Ejaculated spermatozoa was used as control group in this experiment. Characteristics of spermatozoa including the percentage of progressive motility, viability, abnormality and membrane integrity were evaluated before and after freezing. Fertilization ability of post-thawed spermatozoa in both group was examined based on the pronucleus formation after IVF of in vitro matured (IVM) oocytes. Results from these study showed that there were no significant differences in the characteristics between cauda epididymal and ejaculated spermatozoa before freezing. After freezing, motility of ejaculated spermatozoa was higher than epididymal spermatozoa (54.00±2.24% vs 48.00±4.47%), however the membrane integrity of epididymal spermatozoa was higher than ejaculated spermatozoa (75.38±9.32% vs 65.54±11.88%) (P experiment revealed that the ability of post-thawed epididymal spermatozoa to fertilize oocytes (61.40%, 42.98%, 18.42% for total, normal and polysperm, respectively) did not differ from that of ejaculated spermatozoa (66.67%, 48.78%, 17.89% for total, normal and polysperm, respectively). These results indicate that ram spermatozoa collected from cauda epididymal and then frozen have the ability to fertilize ram ooctyes in vitro in the similar rate with ejaculated spermatozoa

Implementasi Sikades (Sistem Informasi Kependudukan Desa) Untuk Kemudahan Layanan Administrasi Desa Berbasis Web Mobile

Disadari bahwa kondisi penyelenggaraan pelayanan masyarakat saat ini masih dihadapkan pada sistem pemerintahan yang belum efektif dan efisien serta kualitas sumber daya manusia aparatur yang belum memadai. Hal ini terlihat dari masih banyaknya keluhan dan pengaduan dari masyarakat baik secara langsung maupun melalui media massa, terkait dengan prosedur yang berbelit-belit, tidak ada kepastian jangka waktu, biaya yang harus dikeluarkan, persyaratan yang tidak transparan, petugas yang tidak profesional, sehingga menimbulkan citra yang kurang baik terhadap pemerintah. Perkembangan teknologi yang ada dapat digunakan untuk membantu penyelesaian masalah layanan publik tersebut. Salah satunya adalah web mobile.Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah waterfall. Pengguna sistem ini meluputi: Warga, Dukuh, Lurah dan Camat. Sistem dirancang untuk menerima masukkan data dari warga terkait administrasi surat menyurat. Selanjutnya dilakukan verifikasi data oleh Dukuh dan Lurah sedangkan Camat dapat memantau warga dan administrasinya setiap desa dalam wilayah pemerintahannya.Penelitian ini berhasil mengimplementasikan SIKADES (Sistem Informasi Kependudukan Desa) yang memanfaatkan teknologi Web Mobile, untuk kemudahan layanan. Berdasarkan pengujian sistem serta pelatihan yang dilaksanakan sistem ini telah layak dikembangkan dan memungkinkan pengembangan untuk daerah lain

Income Over Feed Cost Pemeliharaan Ayam Broiler Betina Dengan Ransum Mengandung Tepung S. Molesta (Income Over Feed Cost of Female Broilers Rearing Fed with S. Molesta)

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of flour S. molesta in each treatment against income over feed cost (IOFC), body weight gain (UN), consumption, and feed convertion ratio (FCR). Meteri used are broiler chickens aged 2 weeks (DOC) female strain Lohmann much as 100 individuals. The method used in this study is completely randomized design (CRD). The experiments were performed using a mixture of flour S. molesta multilevel feed with different percentage is T0 = without giving Salvinia, Salvinia T1 = diet with 6%, T2 = 12% ration with Salvinia, and T3 = diet with 18% Salvinia. Each treatment was repeated five times so that there are 20 experimental units. Data obtained from this study were processed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) of the completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 5 replications. If there is a difference between the effect of treatment then followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test. The results of the study superscript (P <0.05) showed that administration of S. molesta significant effect on IOFC, the UN, the final weight and FCR, but not significant effect on the average consumer. IOFC sale of live and carcass highest of the administration of 0%, while the provision of 12% and 18% decrease, but not significantly different from 6% to 0% so that the S. molesta can be given to animals up to 6%

Strategi Pengembangan Klaster Industri Rumput Laut yang Berkelanjutan di Kawasan Minapolitan Kabupaten Sumba Timur

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi kondisi aktual dari klaster industri rumput laut di kawasan minapolitan Kabupaten Sumba Timur, menentukan faktor- faktor yang memengaruhi pengembangan klaster industri rumput laut di kawasan minapolitan Kabupaten Sumba Timur dan merekomendasikan prioritas strategi yang tepat guna mendukung pengembangan klaster industri rumput laut yang berkelanjutan di kawasan minapolitan Kabupaten Sumba Timur. Penelitian ini menggunakan model klaster dengan sistem zonasi yang dikeluarkan oleh Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan untuk menganalisis kondisi aktual, analisis kesenjangan dan Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Hasil analisis kondisi aktual dan analisis kesenjangan diperoleh data bahwa zona I masih memiliki kinerja kurang baik pada kondisi aktual dengan nilai kinerja (2,4) dari nilai 5 untuk kondisi ideal. Nilai kinerja ini merupakan rata-rata hasil penjumlahan tingkat kinerja dari 9 indikator pendukung pada zona I. Zona II juga masih memiliki tingkat kinerja yang kurang baik pada kondisi aktual dengan nilai kinerja (2,6) dari nilai 5 untuk kondisi ideal. Zona III memiliki tingkat kinerja yang cukup baik pada kondisi aktual dengan nilai kinerja (2,7) dari nilai 5 untuk kondisi ideal. Nilai kinerja ini merupakan rata-rata hasil penjumlahan tingkat kinerja dari 4 indikator pendukung pada zona III. Faktor prioritas utama dalam pencapaian sasaran adalah zona I (kegiatan budidaya) dengan pertimbangan hasil analisis kondisi aktual dan analisis kesenjangan yang menunjukkan bahwa zona I merupakan zona hulu yang memiliki peran penting dalam penyediaan bahan baku bagi kegiatan yang berjalan pada zona II dan zona III. Alternatif strategi yang tepat diterapkan dan diprioritaskan dalam pengembangan klaster industri rumput laut yang berkelanjutan di kawasan minapolitan Kabupaten Sumba Timur adalah pada zona I yaitu peningkatan kapasitas produksi, pada zona II yaitu membangun hubungan kemitraan yang terintegrasi dan terkoordinasi dengan baik dan pada zona III yaitu peningkatan kapasitas produksi
