Google Classroom is an essential online platform promoting teaching and learning process during Covid-19 pandemic. The research aims to investigate the English as Foreign Language (EFL) teachers� reasons, problems and analyse their solutions to overcome the problems of using Google Classroom in English teaching and learning process. This research employed a qualitative method. Five EFL teachers were selected as the participant of study. They were selected based on the purposive sampling technique and taken from Senior High Schools in Bengkulu Province. The findings demonstrate that the problems of using Google Classroom are the teachers should prepare the material lesson well and they were expected to be more creative and innovative in making learning media. However, the lack of internet quota and connection made the students got difficulty to receive the learning material or submit assignments. They were also got difficulty to ask directly to the teacher if they did not understand the lesson. In turn, to overcome the problems in teaching and learning English process by using Google Classroom, the teachers participated in training related to the use of Google Classroom for teaching and learning English. In preparing learning media, the teachers provided the material in many forms such as video, voice notes, PDF, or text reading. Furthermore, the teachers invited the students to ask directly by chatting personally or calling by video conference. They also made a lesson video or gave a link of an explanational material video and invited the students to give them feedback on the lesson.
Objective:The studies have demonstrated that older people often suffer from multiple diseases and are thus prescribed many different drugs. Therefore, drug-related problems (DRPs) are common in the elderly. The main objectives of this study were to reduce the number of DRPs in the elderly through pharmacist involvement and to analyze differences after pharmacist recommendations. Methods:In a quasi-experimental study, 12 primary health centers were selected and randomly divided into two groups (six in each group). In the first group, the physicians received pharmacist recommendations verbally through discussions, and in the second group, the physicians received recommendations through letters. DRPs were analyzed from all older inpatients' medical records 1 month before and 1 month after the pharmacist recommendations. The main outcome being measured was the incidence of DRPs, classified into problems, and causes according to the Indonesian translated version of Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe, Version 6.2 (PCNE V 6.2). The problems were identified based on journal articles and other relevant literature.Results: A total of 205 patients were analyzed before pharmacist intervention (Group 1: 121; Group 2: 84) and 202 patients after the intervention (Group 1: 108; Group 2: 94). The most common problem in these elderly patients was that they suffered from toxic effects. The most common cause was inappropriate drug selection. The number of DRPs and causes were decreased significantly through the discussions (Wilcoxon signed-rank test, problems p=0.027, causes p=0.028). DRPs were also significantly decreased through the recommendation letters (paired t-test, number of problems p=0.003, and causes p=0.004). Discussion with physicians seemed more effective and decreased more problems (p=0.001) and causes (p=0.002). Through discussions, the decrease in a number of problems was 20.83±8.931, and the decrease in the number of causes was 25.33±11.431 versus the recommendation letter, at 4.17±1.941 and 5.17±2.483, respectively. Conclusion:Pharmacist involvement decreased DRPs among older inpatients. Discussing DRPs with the physicians treating the patients is more effective than giving recommendations in writing only. The PCNE V 6.2 DRP classification system is useful for documenting DRPs among the elderly as it can help pharmacists develop plans to reduce DRPs.
The objective of this research was to improve the students’ writing ability in descriptive text through clustering technique at the tenth grade of MA Ma’arif Roudhotut Tholibin Metro in academic year 2018/2019. This research was conducted at tenth grade in second semester at MA Ma’arif Roudhotut Tholibin Metro in academic year 2017/2018. The design of this research was classroom action research (CAR). This research was applied collaborative action research, this research was done in two cycle. It is done with; planning, acting, observation and reflecting. In collecting data, the writer uses; test,observation and questionnaire. the application of the clustering technique could improve the students’ writing ability in descriptive text. Based on the results of the observation obtained the students more understanding to make descriptive sentences, and make the descriptive sentences into a descriptive text. The activity make the student become interested to describe the pictures or object, students more active and more anthusiasm in the writing learning process. Then, in Cycle 1 students passed is 15 (60%). In cycle 2 students passes the KKM (80%). Was improved 20% in cycle 2. By this number, the researcher concludes that the minimum target of success, that is 70% of the students in a class, has been achieved in cycle 2, and from the third data we can conclude it was prove that clustering technique can positively improve the students’ writing ability in descriptive text at tenth grade of MA Ma’arif Roudhotut Tholibin Metro in academic year of 2018/2019 Keyword : Improve Student’s Writing, Descriptive Text, Clustering technique.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-nCoV-2) the cause of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first discovered in Wuhan on December 2019, has spread throughout the world. Each country tries to develop treatment protocol guidelines following the latest research developments to increase the cure rate due to the absence of standard guidelines.The purpose of this research is to knowing the profile of prescribing COVID-19 drug therapy in inpatients at jakarta haji hospital the period September 2020-February 2021. This research is non-experimental with quantitative descriptive study design was taken retrospectively using secondary data in the form of prescription data history of COVID-19 patient visits recorded on the system with sampling techniques that is total sampling. The results showed that in total 387 COVID-19 patients the most were 46-65 years oldwith 198 patients and the mostly malewith 212 patients.
