Jurnal Penelitian Kehutanan Wallacea

Jabon putih (Neolamarckia cadamba) is a widely distributed potential fast-growing species and is thought to be associated with extensive genetic diversity. The aim of the research was to assess the morphological and genetic variation of jabon putih seedling based on AFLP markers. Randomized block design with 4 replications was used to assess seedling morphological variation on 31 families from 4 populations (Kapuas, Kampar, Nusa Kambangan, Pomalaa) based on traits of seedling height, diameter, sturdiness quotient, number of leaves, leaf length, and leaf width at nursery. AFLP Analysis System I Kit by using dry leaf samples from each family was used. …

Degraded Land Analyses Of Brantas River Basin To Support Land Rehabilitation, Nining Wahyuningrum, Pamungkas Buana Putra

Jurnal Penelitian Kehutanan Wallacea

Land degradation in the Brantas River Basin occurs very massively as reflected by high erosion and sedimentation. Information related to soil erosion is important since it is one of the basic information in determining the degraded land in a watershed. The purpose of this study was to analyze and identify the distribution of degraded land in the Brantas river basin as an effort to mitigate land degradation through forests and land rehabilitation in suitable locations. Erosion analysis was carried out spatially on a watershed scale using the USLE (Universal Soil Lost Equation) method. Analyses showed that weighted soil erosion values …

Reproductive Decisions In Carriers Of Genetic Disease: A Survey Of Parents Of Children With Inborn Errors Of Metabolism, Catherine Yetter Read

Dissertations

This study explained reproductive decisions among parents who have already given birth to a child with an inborn error of metabolism (IEM). Two hundred thirty parents (65% response rate) completed a telephone survey which addressed biologic, psychological and sociocultural variables relative to five reproductive decision making outcomes (receptivity to prenatal diagnosis, likelihood of pregnancy termination, impact on future reproductive plans, measures taken to prevent future pregnancies, and birth of subsequent children). Using a combination of logistic and multiple regression, five models, derived from the Interaction Model of Client Health Behavior (IMCHB), were constructed to explain both the direct and indirect …

Stable Carbon Isotope Signature Of Particulate Organic Matter In The Southwestern Sumatran Waters Of The Eastern Indian Ocean, Wahyudi A'An Johan, Afdal Afdal, Meirinawati Hanny

ASEAN Journal on Science and Technology for Development

The Southwestern Sumatran Waters of the Eastern Indian Ocean are known to be affected by the South Java Current and the South Equatorial Counter Current. Many studies have been carried out in relation to upwelling and the Indonesian Through Flow. However, there has been no systematic study into the properties of the particulate organic matter in the Southwestern Sumatran Waters. Therefore, the organic matter in these waters in terms of its origin is unknown. As part of the Widya Nusantara Expedition 2015 research cruise, this study aimed to examine the stable isotope ?13C signature of particulate organic matter (POM), especially …

Developing Alternative Mangrove Ecosystem Management Scenarios Through Economic Valuation In The Coastal Area Of Jangkaran Village, Kulon Progo Regency, Indonesia, Ariestantya Dwike, Harini Rika

ASEAN Journal on Science and Technology for Development

Analysis Of Post-Translational Modifications And Expression Of Stat3 Under Desferrioxamine Induced Hypoxia In Human Neuroblastoma Cells, Veronica Harrison

Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)

ABSTRACT:

Oxygen homeostasis is critical for optimal energy production in eukaryotic organisms. The signal transduction pathways involved with detection and mitigation of hypoxia have been carefully scrutinized in an effort to elucidate how metabolism and survival is maintained. Characterization of these pathways and their involvement in physiological processes such as blood cell production in the bone marrow and microvessel formation in developing embryos provides a model of how these functions are executed. Less well-characterized mechanisms in disease states such as solid tumors still confound researchers whose efforts to find effective treatments are falling short. Cancer cells exploit the activities …

Floral Preformation In The Warming Boreal Forest: The Effects Of Temperature On The Development Of Vaccinium Vitis-Idaea, Eileen Schaub

Master's Theses

The boreal forest is experiencing climate change at twice the rate of other regions. Although changes in flowering phenology are a known consequence of warming temperatures, much is unknown about the effects of temperature anomalies on floral development. Boreal angiosperms preform flowers a year or more in advance and are consequently subject to varied environmental conditions across that time. My thesis examines the effects of temperature on floral development in order to understand how boreal taxa will respond to climate change.

Collection of Vaccinium vitis-idaeafrom natural populations in Fairbanks, Alaska was carried out over the growing seasons of 2017 …

Absorption Capability Of A 645-Nm Diode Laser On Swine Soft Tissue Samples: A Preliminary Study In An Ex-Vivo Model, Giulia Ghidini, Paolo Vescovi, Marco Meleti, Setti Giacomo, Sala Alessandro, Sala Roberto

Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

Most published articles have highlighted several positive effects of low-level laser therapy on tissues; however, to our knowledge, no studies have investigated the depth to which a light beam penetrates cell layers of an irradiated tissue. To date, it is unclear if the laser reaches cells and how many of the cells can be reached in the tissues underlying the oral mucosa. This is of paramount importance as the effect of a laser at a particular depth (e.g., the periosteum and/or bone) should be measurable and predictable to some extent Objectives: The present preliminary ex vivo study aimed to assess …

Avulsed Anterior Permanent Tooth Replaced By Fixed Functional Interim Prosthesis With Natural Crown: A Case Report, Ananya Pal, Shankhanil Dev, Shabanam Zahir, Gauatm Kumar Kundu

Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

The incidence of trauma to the anterior teeth is a common occurrence in children. From the very moment the child tries to walk erect independently, the susceptibility of the child’s anterior teeth getting injured begins. Avulsion (a type of traumatic injury) is the complete loss of the tooth from its socket. Various treatment modalities are available to treat such accidents. The tooth can be replanted back or replaced by a prosthesis, it depends upon the extraoral drytime and the stage of development of root of the avulsed tooth.

Jurnal Pendidikan: Teori, Penelitian, dan Pengembangan

This study aims to determine the differences in geography problem solving abilities of students who learn using the PjBL model and students who learn to use conventional models. This research was a quasi-experimental (quasi experimental). The design of this study used a non-equivalent control group design. Data analysis in this study used one way anova with the help of SPSS 24.0. The results of this study indicate that the F-count value is 35,746 and P-value (0,000 <0.05), which means that there are significant differences in geographic problem solving ability between the control class and the experimental class. Scores of problem solving students who use the project based learning model are better than the problem solving scores of students who use conventional models. This is because the syntax in the PjBl model supports problem solving activities in Geography learning.

This study aims to determine the differences in the ability to think critic of elementary school students by applying the model of Problem Based Learning (PBL) and Conventional. This type of research that is a quasi-experimental design Nonequivalent Control Group Design. Number of respondents 72 students, 36 students in grade control (conventional) and the experimental class of 36 students (PBL). Instruments used the descriptions written tests. Based on research results using the Independent Sample T-Test results obtained 0.000 <0.05. This means that there are difference significant between critical thinking skills in the classroom with the conventional model and PBL. These results are supported by the acquisition of the average yield of critical thinking skills acquisition experimental class with a mean = 14.2, while the control class to get mean = 12.4. So it could be concluded that there were significant differences of critical thinking skills class with PBL and conventional models.
