The Role of Families and Nursing Homes in Improving the Quality of Life of The Elderly in Tanjungpinang City

Sat, 13 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This research discusses the role of families and nursing homes in improving the quality of life of the elderly. Social problems facing the elderly include the ability of families and nursing homes to meet their needs. The elderly are part of the demographic bonus challenge and need support for physical, economic, psychological and social well-being. Shifts in family functions have led to an increase in the number of elderly people in nursing homes. The International Convention on the Elderly emphasizes the importance of access to basic needs and employment opportunities, but Indonesia has not ratified this convention, even though there are local policies that recognize the elderly as a vulnerable group that must be empowered. This research uses a constructivist paradigm and qualitative methods with in-depth interviews and participant observation to collect data. The results show that the pattern of caring for elderly people in families and nursing homes is different, with nursing homes often being a place for elderly people who have been neglected by their families. Families have an important role in caring for and supporting elderly people, which can significantly influence their quality of life. Nursing homes also play a role in providing care and support, but face challenges such as limited resources and social stigma. This research highlights the importance of a holistic approach in elderly care, both in the context of families and nursing home institutions. Well-functioning families and well-managed nursing homes can improve the quality of life of seniors, by taking into account their physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs.

The Effect of Avgas and Ethanol Fuel Mixture on Fuel Spray Temperature

Thu, 18 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This research aims to examine the effect of the avgas-ethanol fuel mixture on the fuel spray temperature. The research was carried out using a pressurized tube which was sprayed into the mock up which was assumed to be an aircraft combustion chamber with a pressure of 2 bar and a distance of 7,73 cm which would later be sprayed using pure avgas, a mixture of avgas and ethanol namely A80E20 and A60E40 then added with a temperature sensor at the end nozzle, center of jet, and impact wall. The spray temperature can result in incomplete combustion and result in higher exhaust emissions and also damage to the engine if it does not match the temperature capacity of the combustion chamber walls. The spray temperature results for the A60E40 fuel mixture are the lowest temperature, namely 25^o-18.2^oC and knowing that the more fuel is mixed, the lower the temperature of the fuel.

Laely Syaudah, Yusida Gloriani, Dede Endang Mascita — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to elucidate the design, feasibility, and implementation of digital teaching materials for fable texts intended for junior high school (SMP/MTs) students, utilizing the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate). Data were collected through classroom observations and questionnaires during fable text lessons. The questionnaires revealed that students disliked assignments related to fable text learning. In response, the author developed digital teaching materials for fable texts accessible via YouTube and live worksheet applications. Validation by subject matter and media experts indicated high feasibility, with scores of 91.43% and 90%, respectively. Implementation with students resulted in a comprehension rate of 90%, demonstrating that these digital teaching materials enhance student engagement and facilitate completion of fable text assignments. Consequently, these materials are recommended as supplementary resources for learning fable texts.

Indonesian is experiencing a period of accelerated development and modernization. This is evidenced by the growing vocabulary and stability of its structural elements. It is important to note that, alongside this process, the language is also facing challenges in terms of its continued development and usage. It is likely that many young people and the general public are still unaware of Indonesian's position and function in the context of the country's identity. They fail to recognize the role of Indonesian as a symbol of national pride, national identity, a means of communication between citizens, between regions, and between cultures, as well as a tool for unifying various ethnic groups with their respective socio-cultural and linguistic backgrounds into the unity of Indonesian nationality. Therefore, it is essential to continually develop the Indonesian language in order to advance the nation and state.

The 21st century has seen rapid changes in educational practices, mainly due to technological advancements such as artificial intelligence. Especially in today's digital age, technology is essential in transforming education. One prominent innovation is the use of AI in the context of learning. This research aims to discover prospective teachers' learning processes using AI. In addition, this research seeks to determine the position of AI in learning mathematics for prospective teachers. The participants are Mathematics Education students of Universitas Swadaya Gunung Jati (UGJ) Cirebon. This qualitative study uses phenomenological methods by collecting data from each research subject about experiences regarding the use of AI in solving several math problems. This research provides insight into how prospective teachers can utilize AI technology in the mathematics learning process. In addition, this research is essential because it contributes to the development of technology-based pedagogy, a significant trend in global education today. This research uses data collection methods through observation, interviews, and content. The results of this study are that 3 paradigms from previous research are in line with the theory of 3 paradigms: (1) AI-directed students as recipients, (2) AI-supported students as collaborators, and (3) AI-empowered students as leaders. Most participants in this study were collaborators in these three paradigms.

The data suggest that communication apprehension, fear of poor assessment, and exam anxiety were the elements that caused students' nervousness when making a speech.

The Effect of Contextual Teaching Learning Method Toward Students’ Reading Skill at SMA Negeri 1 Panai Hilir

Laila Fitria, Harianto II — Wed, 24 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the efficacy of contextual teaching and learning (CTL) in enhancing reading proficiency among eighth-year students at SMAN 1 Panai Hilir. The research questions were as follows: (a) To what extent is the use of contextual teaching and learning (CTL) effective in improving students’ vocabulary? (b) What are the perceptions of students with respect to vocabulary acquisition through CTL? The research objectives were to ascertain (1) the efficacy of using CTL in improving students’ vocabulary and (2) students’ perceptions of vocabulary acquisition through CTL at the eighth-grade students of SMAN 1 Panai Hilir. The research employed a pre-experimental method with a pretest and posttest design, with the intention of providing a systematic expression or description of the data collected from a pre-experimental investigation. All eighth-year students at SMAN 1 Panai Hilir constituted the target population for this investigation during the 2024/2025 academic year. A purposive sampling approach was used to draw a sample from the population, with the resulting sample comprising 25 students. The sample was drawn from the lower class, with a total of 25 students. The research instruments consisted of a vocabulary test and a questionnaire. The vocabulary test was designed to assess the students' comprehension of the material, while the questionnaire aimed to gauge their perceptions. The research yielded two key findings: a pretest and a posttest. The results of the statistical analysis revealed that t-test values (21.823 > 2.064) were significantly different before and after the CTL intervention, indicating an improvement in vocabulary acquisition. This finding supports the hypothesis that the CTL method is an effective approach to enhancing vocabulary skills in 8th grade students at SMAN 1 Panai Hilir.
