Workshop Pengenalan Robotika Level Paud dan Sekolah Dasar pada Bimbel AHE Cabang Sukamajubaru

Variasi dalam aktivitas belajar dan mengajar adalah hal penting dalam suatu lembaga pendidikan. Variasi ini dapat berupa materi dan tekhnologi sebagai penambahan skill atau kemampuan dan knowledge atau pengetahuan siswa. Bimbingan Belajar Anak Hebat (AHE) Unit 6997 Cabang Sukamajubaru , Tapos Depok merupakan sebuah tempat belajar dalam bentuk bimbingan belajar (les). Permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh Bimbel AHE Cabang Sukamaju Baru ini yaitu kurangnya kreativitas para guru dalam mengaplikasikan sebuah model pengajaran untuk siswa  yaitu khususnya yaitu pada kegiatan ekstrakurikuler. Giat ekstrakurikuler adalah kegiatan belajar non kelas terpadu yang memakai tema variatif untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan siswa tentang lintas bidang apapun secara umum. Guru membutuhkan kreativitas untuk mengajar dan membuat materi yang menarik dan menghadirkan minat para siswa, sehingga membutuhkan sebuah program belajar berupa workshop. Workshop atau bentuk pelatihan yang dilakukan diharapkan dapat secara aplikatif menumbuhkan minat belajar siswa dan mengembangkan potensi bakat siswa. Potensi bakat siswa ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan , kemampuan, keterampilan dan inovasi siswa. Sebagai workshop yang juga dibutuhkan diantaranya adalah ilmu yang berbasis tekhnologi terkini diantaranya adalah mengenai robotika. Untuk itu kami selaku tim Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat tertarik untuk memberikan workhop kepada siswa dengan tema robotik

Therefore, the interactive quiz method is a suitable model to use in learning evaluation. The aim is to provide a training program to SDIT Al-Kautsar teachers regarding creating interactive quizzes using the quizziz and Mentimeter applications in order to improve soft skills and hard skills. With this training, teachers can develop creativity, in designing interactive quizzes, improve collaboration and communication skills with students and improve mastery of the quiziz and mentimeter applications as a form of evaluation of student learning in class so that it is more interactive and all students can understand the material provided by the teacher in the classroom. This service method is carried out by providing offline training or workshops to SDIT Al-Kautsar Cikarang teachers. The results achieved from the training evaluation were 51.77% of participants who were very satisfied with this training because it could improve teachers' understanding and practical skills regarding computers and the applications used

Residual Strain Dependence on Matrix Structure in RHQ-Nb3Al Wires by Neutron Diffraction Measurement

We prepared three types of non-Cu RHQ-Nb3Al wire samples with different matrix structures: an all-Ta matrix,a composite matrix of Nb and Ta with a Ta inter filament, and an all-Nb matrix. Neutron diffraction patterns of the wire samples were measured at room temperature in J-PARC "TAKUMI". To obtain residual strains of materials, we estimated lattice constant a by multi-peak analysis in the wire. Powder sample of each wire was measured, where the powder was considered to be strain-free. The grain size of all the powder samples was below 0.02 mm. For wire sample with the all-Nb matrix, we also obtained lattice spacing d by a single-peak analysis. Residual strains of Nb3Al filament were estimated from the two analysis results and were compared. Result, residual strains obtained from the multi-peak analysis showed a good accuracy with small standard deviation. The multi-peak analysis results for the residual strains of Nb3Al filament in the three samples were all tensile residual strain in the axial direction, they are 0.12%, 0.12%, and 0.05% for the all-Ta matrix, the composite matrix, and the all-Nb matrix, respectively. Difference in the residual strain of Nb3Al filament between the composite and all-Nb matrix samples indicates that type of inter-filament materials show a great effect on the residual strain. In this paper, we report the method of measurement, method of analysis, and results for residual strain in the tree types of non-Cu RHO-Nb3Al wires.Comment: 7 pages, 8 figure

Case Report: Sublingual Microcirculatory Alterations in a Covid-19 Patient With Subcutaneous Emphysema, Venous Thrombosis, and Pneumomediastinum

The Corona virus disease 2019 (Covid-19) has brought a wide range of challenges in intensive care medicine. Understanding of the pathophysiology of Covid-19 relies on interpreting of its impact on the vascular, particularly microcirculatory system. Herein we report on the first use of the latest generation hand-held vital microscope to evaluate the sublingual microcirculation in a Covid-19 patient with subcutaneous emphysema, venous thrombosis and pneumomediastinum. Remarkably, microcirculatory parameters of the patient were increased during the exacerbation period, which is not a usual finding in critically ill patients mostly presenting with a loss of hemodynamic coherence. In contrast, recovery from the disease led to a subsequent amelioration of these parameters. This report clearly shows the importance of microcirculatory monitoring for evaluating the course and the adequacy of therapy in Covid-19 patients

Creating spaces: testimonio, impossible knowledge, and academe

Postprint upload.This article examines what it means to engage seriously with speech and writing events, such as testimonio, articulated by people whose theoretical base lies primarily in experience outside the walls of academe. I argue that we dismiss such unfamiliar scholarship to the detriment of all involved. If we are truly committed to learning, then we must expose ourselves to language forms and cultural norms that are different from those with which we are familiar. We must learn from them how to acknowledge the limits of our analysis and how to find “impossible knowledge” in unaccustomed places

Developing an interatomic potential for martensitic phase transformations in zirconium by machine learning

Interatomic potentials: predicting phase transformations in zirconium Machine learning leads to a new interatomic potential for zirconium that can predict phase transformations. A team led by Hongxian Zong at Xi’an Jiaotong University, China, and Turab Lookman at Los Alamos National Laboratory, U.S.A, used a Gaussian-type machine learning approach to produce an interatomic potential that predicted phase transformations in zirconium. They expressed each atomic energy contribution via changes in the local atomic environment, such as bond length, shape, and volume. The resulting machine-learning potential successfully described pure zirconium’s physical properties. When used in molecular dynamics simulations, it predicted a zirconium phase diagram as a function of both temperature and pressure that agreed well with previous experiments and simulations. Developing learnt interatomic potentials in phase-transforming systems could help us better simulate complex systems

Laterally focused attention modulates asymmetric coupling in rhythmic interlimb coordination.

Peters (J Motor Behav 21:151-155, 1989; Interlimb coordination: neural, dynamical and cognitive constraints, Academic, Orlando, pp 595-615, 1994) suggested that expressions of handedness in bimanual coordination may be reflections of an inherent attentional bias. Indeed, previous results indicated that focusing attention on one of the limbs affected the relative phasing between the limbs in a manner comparable to the effects of hand dominance. The present study extended the comparison between the effects of attentional focus and handedness by testing their impact on the interactions between the limbs. Both left-handed and right-handed participants performed rhythmic bimanual coordination tasks (in-phase and antiphase coordination), while directing attention to either limb. Using brief mechanical perturbations, the degree to which the limbs were influenced by each other was determined. The results revealed that the non-dominant limb was more strongly affected by the dominant limb than vice versa and that, in line with Peters' proposition, this handedness-related asymmetry in coupling strength was reduced when attention was focused on the non-dominant limb, thereby highlighting the potential relation between inherent (handedness-related) asymmetries and voluntary attentional asymmetries. In contrast to previous findings, the (commonly observed) phase lead of the dominant limb was attenuated (rather than accrued) when attention was focused on this limb. This unexpected result was explained in terms of the observed attention-related difference in amplitude between the limbs. © 2006 Springer-Verlag
