Kesantunan Berbahasa Siswa dalam Berdiskusi

Abstract: Kegiatan diskusi dapat menjadi upaya dalam meningkatkan keterampilan berbicara siswa melalui pengungkapan gagasan, ide, dan pendapat tentang suatu masalah. Namun, kadang masih muncul penggunaan bahasa yang kurang santun saat siswa menyampaikan pendapatnya. Diperlukan cara berdiskusi yang santun dengan diksi yang tepat saat berinteraksi dengan orang lain. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan bentuk kesantunan berbahasa siswa dalam diskusi kelas dan ciri penanda lingualnya. Metode yang digunakan ialah metode penelitian deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan sosiopragmatik. Data berupa tuturan siswa dalam diskusi kelas. Teknik pengumpulan data melalui teknik perekaman dengan metode simak bebas libat cakap (SBLC). Teknik analisis data menggunakan model interaktif berupa pengumpulan data, reduksi data, analisis data, dan penarikan simpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat pematuhan maksim kebijaksanaan, maksim kedermawanan, maksim kesederhanaan, maksim penghargaan, maksim kesepakatan, dan maksim kesimpatian. Adapun ciri penanda kesantunan linguistik berupa kata “silakan”, “tolong”, “maaf”, “terima kasih”, dan “mari”.

The Influence of Family Support, Social Capital, Self Efficacy, Education, Employment, Income, and Residential Status on the Quality of Life among the Elderly in Salatiga, Central Java

Abstract: Background : Lengthening life expectancy of population worldwide has led to rapid growth of the elderly population. This change indicates good development progress. However, it also poses quality of life concern among the elderly. Since the elderly have limitation in many ways, their quality of life decreases, often requiring self-confidence, family support, as well as community awareness, to improve their quality of life. Quality of life is affected by physical, psychological, social and environmental conditions. This study aimed to determine the effects of self efficacy, education, employment status, income, family support, social capital, and residential status on the quality of life of the elderly. Subjects dan M et hod : This was an analytic observational study using cross-sectional design. The study was conducted in 6 villages, in Sidorejo sub-district, Salatiga, Central Java, from March to April 2017. A total sample of 150 elderlies aged between 60 to 74 years old were selected for this study by stratified random sampling. The exogenous variables were education, social capital and residential status. The endogenous variables were family support, self efficacy, employment status, income, and the quality of life. The data were collected by a set of questionnaire and analyzed by path analysis. Results : The quality of life of the elderly was directly affected by income (b=0.06; SE= 1.16; p=0.005), family support (b=0.14; SE=0.22; p=0.003), and self efficacy (b=0.79; SE= 0.11;Â p<0.001). Family support was affected by residence status (b=0.54; SE=0.88; p<0,001), income (b=0.21; SE=0.40; p<0.001), and social capital (b=0.41; SE=0.02; p<0.001). Self efficacy was affected by family support (b=0.54; SE=0.10; p<0.001), and social capital (b=0.40; SE=0.04; p<0.001). Employment status was affected by education (b=0.16; SE=0.09; p=0.043). Income was influenced by education (b= 0.71; SE= 0.06; p<0.001). Conclusion : The quality of life of the elderly is directly affected by income, family support, and self efficacy. The quality of life is indirectly affected by education, employment status, social capital, and residential status.

Implementation of Augmented Reality Technology in Sangiran Museum with Vuforia

Abstract: Archaeological object is an evidence of life on ancient relics which has a lifespan of millions years ago. The discovery of this ancient object by the Museum Sangiran then is preserved and protected from potential damage. This research will develop Augmented Reality application for the museum that display a virtual information from ancient object on display. The content includes information as text, audio, and animation of 3D model as a representation of the ancient object. This study emphasizes the 3D Markerless recognition process by using Vuforia Augmented Reality (AR) system so that visitor can access the exhibition objects through different viewpoints. Based on the test result, by registering image target with 25o angle interval, 3D markerless keypoint feature can be detected with different viewpoint. The device must meet minimal specifications of Dual Core 1.2 GHz processor, GPU Power VR SG5X, 8 MP auto focus camera and 1 GB of memory to run the application. The average success of the AR application detects object in museum exhibition to 3D Markerless with a single view by 40%, Markerless multiview by 86% (for angle 0° - 180°) and 100% (for angle 0° - 360°). Application detection distance is between 23 cm and up to 540 cm with the response time to detect 3D Markerless has 12 seconds in average.

The potential of pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) beverage as an anti-diabetic functional drink

Abstract: The number of patients with diabetes continues to increase. Diabetes complications might induce serious diseases such as kidney, nervous, cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Diabetic complications can be prevented by keeping blood glucose and cholesterol at normal levels. This study aims to determine the potential of pigeon pea beverage for lowering glucose and total cholesterol plasma levels and increasing the antioxidant status of diabetic-hypercholesterolemia rats. The research was conducted using 18 Sprague Dawley male rats aged 3 months old with an average body weight of 154 g. The rats were divided into three groups: normal group, D-H group (diabetic-hypercholesterolemia group), and pigeon pea beverage group. The results showed that pigeon pea beverage diet showed hypoglycemic and hypocholesterolemic activities, and could improve the antioxidant status of diabetic-hypercholesterolemia rats. Plasma glucose and total cholesterol levels of diabetic-hypercholesterolemia rats decreased 33.86% and 19.78% respectively. The improvement of the plasma antioxidant status was indicated by the decrease of plasma MDA (malondialdehyde) level, reaching 37.16%. The research result provides an alternative to diabetes management by using the local bean as an anti-diabetic functional drink.
