As one of the logical consequences of the transformation process from agricultural to industrial societies, human activities contribute some pressures to our environment, especially air quality. Kalimantan Island, as the third-largest island on Earth, expected to be the world’s lungs, transboundary massive haze problems frequently occurred on this island, especially between 2011-2015. Since the fire forest started from the Indonesia side of this island, reliable information about air quality in Kalimantan-Indonesia and environmental education’s urgency toward this result becomes essential to explore. Air Quality Index (AQI) is measured by a passive sampling method with SO2 dan NO2 as pollutants’ parameters. These two parameters are recognized as a valid measurement of air pollutants, strongly affect human health, and are understandable by ordinary citizens, especially middle school level students. AQI reached 94.27, which is categorized as a good-quality index. Among the provinces, the highest AQI was reached by East and North Kalimantan with 97.63, while South Kalimantan has the lowest with 91.41. Furthermore, the NO2 parameter contributed much larger than SO2 parameters in all provinces. AQI Kalimantan tends to increase, although South Kalimantan tended to have a lower air quality index than other provinces from year to year. This result drives comprehensive support from the education sector to build environmental understanding. From an educational perspective, this result shows the urgency of enhancing science education with air quality discussion. We suggest a possible enhancement in substance and its transformation section and the Science-Environment-Technology-Society section in Science for Junior and Senior High School. The procedure of AQI measurement and the urgency of maintaining AQI are needed to be integrated into the science curriculum.
The purpose of this research is to produce a product-based job sheet that can be used as an instructional media on practicum activities. In this study also tested the validity of the job sheet developed. The research method used is research development with a 4D model consisting of define, design, development and disseminate. The research instrument used is a validation sheet consisting of content validation, format, and presentation of the job sheet which is analyzed by descriptive analysis technique. The results showed that 1) the product-based job sheet developed was highly valid on the content/content aspects, 2) the product-based job sheet developed valid on the aspect of the format, and 3) the productbased job sheet developed was valid in the presentation aspect. Based on the results of the study can be concluded that the product-based worksheet developed valid for use in Object Oriented Programming subject.
Cogon grass is traditional medicine empirically used in nephritis, fever, hypertension, dyspnea, epitaxy, as a hepatoprotector agent, and has function to lower cholesterol and blood glucose. The compound of cogon grass is potentially served as an herbs medicine. But, the effect on haematology profile is still well unknown. We demonstrated the effect of cogon grass ethanol extract in mice model diabetic induced with STZ. Eight weeks old of male balb/c mice were injected intraperitoneally with STZ dose 130 mg/Kg BW. Seven days later, after DM confirmed, mice were given ethanol extract of cogon grass with dose 90 mg/KGBW (treatment group 1) and dose 115 mg/Kg BW (treatment group 2). After 14 days of extract gavage, haematology profile were estimated using the direct current detection method. We found there is no anemia occur in diabetic mice. But, the platelet and WBCs, were tend to increase in diabetic control group and treatment group 1, in contrast in treatment group 2 was tend to decrease. In conclusion, we suggested that the extract ethanol of cogon grass suppress the leukocyte and platelet count. It has potentially effect as anti-inflammatory and antiplatelet on diabetic mice.
The Lembang Fault is a major fault located at the northern Bandung. This fault has a high disaster risk, including ground shaking, surface rupture, and possible landslides or liquefaction. This fault can cause earthquakes of 6.5-7 magnitude, making 8 million people in four Regencies and Cities around West Bandung Regency, Cimahi City, Bandung City and Bandung Regency exposed to major disaster risk. This research focuses on assessing the Perception of Disaster Proneness of the Lembang Fault in the District of Cisarua, West Java, Indonesia. This research was conducted using a case study and deductive-qualitative approach. In addition, this research was carried out by combining engineering and social research methodologies. The survey location point is determined based on hazard data (Peak Ground Acceleration data), vulnerability data (covering building density, slope, curvature, soil character, distance from faults, etc.) and population density data. This study indicates that the public’s perception of the disaster in the Lembang Fault is very subjective. How they act is based on experience or based on their beliefs. Therefore, an essential part of this research is assessing and measuring the community’s perception of the Lembang Fault towards disasters that may arise. The government must make serious efforts to convey that the disaster in the Lembang fault is much bigger and can happen at any time. Therefore, building resilient communities that genuinely understand the dangers of living in disaster-prone areas is essential.
Penghapusan jabatan eselon III dan IV telah diserukan Kementerian Pendayagunaan Aparatur Negara dan Reformasi Birokrasi (Kemen PAN-RB) yang telah dijalankan sejak tahun 2012 memungkinkan menimbulkan banyak dampak. Universitas Negeri Semarang, sebagai institusi Pendidikan tinggi berusaha untuk beradptasi atas perubahan tersebut melalui praktik manajemen perubahan sejak diberlakukan Surat Keputusan Fungsional pada 29 Desember tahun 2020. Upaya adaptasi melalui praktik manajemen perubahan perlu diperiksa lebih lanjut apakah berdampak pada tingkat kinerja dan kesejahteraan pegawai eselon III dan IV Universitas Negeri Semarang. Tujuan Penelitian: Mengetahui pengaruh praktik manajemen perubahan pada kinerja dan kesejahteraan. Metode Penelitian: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan menggunakan kuesioner sebagai instrument penelitian dan disebarkan kepada 81 pegawai eselon III dan IV, tingkat pengembalian kuesioner 96% (78 responden). Analisis data pada penelitian ini menggunakan metode SEM-PLS dengan alat analisis SmartPLS 3.0. Hasil Penelitian: Universitas Negeri Semarang telah berhasil menerapkan praktik manajemen perubahan, sehingga ditemukan pengaruh positif dan signifikan pada tingkat kinerja dan kesejahteraan pegawai eselon III dan IV, dan seluruh hipotesis yang diajukan dalam penelitian ini dapat diterima.
