The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of extensive reading on students’ reading achievement for senior high school grade X. The extensive reading was an alternative method in the teaching reading to make the students fun and easy to get the meaning of texts from many sources. The subjects were 27 students at grade X in the academic year 2018/2019. The researcher applied by using in a quasi-experimental design using a quantitative approach. The instrument of this research used pre-questionnaires, test and observation. The technique of analyzing data was applied by using a paired sample t-test from the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 22 (SPSS22). The result of the analysis showed that the mean of the pre-test was 79, 85 and the mean of post-test was 85, 56. The mean score of posttest was higher than pretest in experimental class who were taught by extensive reading. It concluded that the implementation of the extensive reading can give positive effects to the students. It was supported by the result of observation showed that the students were enthusiastically to answer the question, many vocabularies, fun, enjoyable, easy to understand the meaning of the texts and more active in the teaching learning.
_Hypertension often occurs in the elderly due to hormonal changes after menopause. Treatment of hypertension can be done non-pharmacologically by consuming chayote. This study was to explore the effect of chayote juice on blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension at Puskesmas (Community Health Center) Teluknaga. This is a auasiexperimental research design with pre-test and post-test without control. 13 respondents were sample of this study taken with non-random metode consecutive sampling. Bivariate analysis was processed with Wilcoxon Match Pair Test. The analysis results with the range of age 60-70 (92.3%) and age 75-90 (7.7%) with females (84.6%) and male (15.4%) shows that median decrease in systolic blood 30.00 mmHg and diastolic 10.00 mmHg. It was obtained p value 0.001 <ɑ 0.05. in conclusion, the chayote juice has effects to reduce blood pressure in elderly with hypertension. The elderly and families are expected to apply independently by consuming chayote juice which aims to maintain and control blood pressure.
Abstract This research aims to produce of illumination the appropriate lighting in the reading room and lecture room. Because sometimes in the construction of a building, there are still many techicians who have not followed the rules that have been set for appropriate illumination lighting in the reading room and lecture rooms. In this research using a quantitative approach with a descriptive engineering method engineering by utilizing three phases i.e manual measurement, manual calculations and simulated of Dialux Evo 8.2. The manual measurement uses Luxmeter as a measurement to get the value of the measured illumination in the reading room and lecture rooms based on the Standar. The manual calculation uses the calculation method according to SNI. The simulation uses Dialux Evo 8.2 software to optimize the value of the lighting which should be used in the reading room and lecture rooms. The results showed that illumination values were produced in the reading room and the lecture rooms still did not meet the specified Standars. Research do 3 design scenario improvements. The first scenario in the reading room and the lecture room was obtained average optimization percentage of 72% and 57% in the second scenario obtained the optimization percentage 20% s/d 88%, in the third scenario of the light point added, changing the lamp and changing the wall character obtained an optimization percentage of 23% s/d 89%. It can be concluded that the scenario of two is done to Linux obtained some illumination results that conform to the Standars set in the reading room and the lecture room and the value of the deviation generated between the room that is not exposed to sunlight and the room that is exposed the sunlight has a nearby deviation. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan kuat penerangan yang sesuai pada ruang baca dan ruang perkuliahan. Karena terkadang dalam pembangunan sebuah gedung, masih banyak beberapa teknisi yang belum mengikuti aturan yang telah ditetapkan untuk penerangan yang sesuai pada ruang baca dan ruang perkuliahan. Pada penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode deskriptif rekayasa Teknik dengan memanfaatkan tiga fase yaitu pengukuran manual, perhitungan manual dan simulasi Dialux Evo 8.2. Pengukuran manual menggunakan Luxmeter sebagai alat ukur untuk mendapatkan nilai kuat penerangan yang terukur pada ruang baca dan ruang perkuliahan berdasarkan Standar. Perhitungan manual menggunakan cara perhitungan menurut SNI. Simulasi menggunakan Software Dialux Evo 8.2 untuk mengoptimalkan nilai kuat penerangan yang seharusnya digunakan pada ruang baca dan ruang perkuliahan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai kuat penerangan yang dihasilkan pada ruang baca dan ruang perkuliahan masih belum memenuhi standar yang ditentukan. Peneliti melakukan 3 skenario desain perbaikan. Desain perbaikan skenario pertama pada ruang baca dan ruang perkuliahan diperoleh rata-rata presentase optimalisasi 72% dan 57%, pada skenario kedua diperoleh presentase optimalisasi 20% s/d 88%, pada skenario ketiga titak lampu ditambah, merubah lampu dan merubah karakter dinding diperoleh presentase optimalisasi sebesar 23% s/d 89%. Maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa skenario dua yang dilakukan untuk pengoptimalisasian didapatkan beberapa hasil kuat penerangan yang sesuai dengan standar yang telah ditetapkan pada ruang baca dan ruang perkuliahan dan nilai simpangan yang dihasilkan antara ruangan yang tidak terkena cahaya matahari dan ruangan yang terkena cahaya matahari memiliki simpangan yang tidak jauh.
The emergence of the COVID-19 virus pandemic in Indonesia at the beginning of 2020 made the government issue a policy that the learning process was carried out online. The learning process is not effective because the teacher does not master information technology well. The online learning system that has been implemented makes students unable to learn optimally such as learning that is applied directly in the classroom. In addition, it consumes a lot of internet quota. The existence of internet quota assistance from the government for teachers and students is a bit of a solution to this. However, this is not possible for students who are constrained by internet access, so a new breakthrough is needed by utilizing the increasingly developing information technology, namely by using interactive learning media. This research is important in order to inventory the types of needs for learning media needed for teachers and students and as a basis for research on the development of learning media. The purpose of this study was to determine the types of learning media needed in the learning process during a pandemic for teachers and students of class VIII. The research method used a questionnaire consisting of 15 questions given to respondents, namely 3 Natural Science teachers and 10 grade VIII students at SMP Negeri 1 Mempawah Hulu. The results showed that all respondents revealed that it was necessary to develop information technology-based multimedia accompanied by traditional games.
