English language becomes a key to enter the globalization because English is used in any international communication and business recently. Accordingly, it is the most important thing that should be mastered by the students especially students of English Department. Since internal and external factors of the students affect their strategies in learning English, the writer wants to investigate the strategies of the high achievers in learning English. The purposes of this study were to know the strategies employed, the most strategies employed and also the fewest strategies employed by the high achievers in learning English. The design used was descriptive qualitative research design because the writer wanted to describe the strategies employed by the high achiever students in learning English. The respondents who were investigated were the seventh semester students of English Department of University of Muhammadiyah Malang in academic year 2006-2007 who had a cumulative GPA 3.60 and above. They were selected because the seventh semester was considered as a final phase of an ideal length time frame of study in English Department. Therefore, the students who had grade point average 3.60 and above which was based on academic guidance book 2006-2007 University of Muhammadiyah Malang which were included as cumlaude were considered as high achiever students. Afterward, they were delivered the questionnaire on learning strategies. After collecting and analyzing the data, the writer found that high achiever students employed all the strategies which gave a good contribution to them in order to get success maximally in their learning process especially in learning English. Furthermore, the most or the highest mean scores among six strategies employed by high achiever students in learning English were metacognitive strategies accounted for 24.6 which was appropriate with their characteristics. Meanwhile, the fewest strategy employed was memoryrelated strategies for the mean score was 17.2 which means that they used it in the low frequency. Afterwards, the mean scores for the rest of the strategies were compensatory strategies (x = 24.5), cognitive strategies (x = 23), affective strategies (x = 23.3), and social strategies (x = 20.3) which were in the average of usage

Analisis Tarikan Pasar Babadan Ungaran Kab. Semarang Dan Kinerja Lalu Lintas Jalan Sekitar

Market as an activity zone trips towing zones. Babadan Market located at Jalan Sudirman, where the market activity zone Babadan Ungaran generate visitor attraction and trip generation in the form of a private car and public transport resulting in congestion. This condition should be corrected in order to get the convenience of shopping at Babadan traditional market and smooth flow of traffic on Soedirman street. For that to know the amount of travel due to the existence of Babadan traditional market. Therefore, we evaluated to determine the performance of Jend. Soedirman street and Raya Baya street with calculations based on the degree of saturation on traffic survey and evaluation of the resistance that occur on the road. Evaluation results show the degree of saturation at Jend. Soedirman street ≥ 0.75 so that its necessary treatment. Whereas at Raya Baya street ≤ 0.75 it is still in a safe condition. Planning by reducing the resistance, optimizing pedestrian bridge, reviewing u - turn, and the control of bus bay

Price Uncertainty and Consumer Welfare in an Intertemporal Setting

In this paper we examine how increases in intertemporal price uncertainty affect the welfare of a consumer. In the preference structure of the consumer the coefficient of relative risk aversion and the elasticity of intertemporal substitution (EIS) are parametrically independent. We find that under empirically plausible circumstances, for each given degree of risk aversion an increase in price uncertainty reduces consumer welfare if the EIS is lower than a corresponding threshold value. Overall our results suggest that for parameter estimates found in much of the empirical literature, increases in intertemporal price uncertainty are likely to reduce consumer welfare

Pengaruh Pemberian Ekstrak Lengkuas (Alpinia Galanga) Terhadap Gambaran Histologik Payudara Mencit (Mus Musculus) Yang Diinduksi Benzo(a)pyrene

: Galangal (Alpinia galanga) is one of the plants that is often used for cancer therapy. Galangal contains different active ingredients, one of which is 1 'acetoxy chavicol acetate (ACA) which serves as an anticancer through its action as an anti-inflammatory agent, induction of apoptosis and inhibition of proliferation. Benzo(a)pyrenes (BAP) are five-ringed Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), a group of mutagenic and carcinogenic organic compounds. This study aimed to determine the effect of galangal extract on histological features of mice's breast induced by benzo(a)pyrene. This was an experimental laboratory study using mice as experimental animals. Subjects were 15 mice, divided into negative control group (5 mice) and two treatment groups (5 mice each). All mice were fed with standard pellet throughout the experiment. Mice in group A (negative control) received no treatment; mice in group B were administered with benzo(a)pyrene for 14 days then were given no treatment for the next 14 days; and mice in group C were induced by benzo(a)pyrene and were given galangal extract for 14 days then were given no treatment for the next 14 days. The result of this study revealed changes in mice breast histological features in the form of hyperplasia of cuboid epithelial cells of lactiferous ducts in group B and C, however the manifestation in group C was less pronounced than that was seen in group B. Conclusion: Oral administration of galangal extract subcutaneously was able to inhibit the cuboidal ductal lactiferious epithelial cell hyperplasia of mice breast induced by benzo(a)pyrene

UAS in the NAS: Survey Responses by ATC, Manned Aircraft Pilots, and UAS Pilots

NASA currently is working with industry and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to establish future requirements for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) flying in the National Airspace System (NAS). To work these issues NASA has established a multi-center UAS Integration in the NAS project. In order to establish Ground Control Station requirements for UAS, the perspective of each of the major players in NAS operations was desired. Three on-line surveys were administered that focused on Air Traffic Controllers (ATC), pilots of manned aircraft, and pilots of UAS. Follow-up telephone interviews were conducted with some survey respondents. The survey questions addressed UAS control, navigation, and communications from the perspective of small and large unmanned aircraft. Questions also addressed issues of UAS equipage, especially with regard to sense and avoid capabilities. From the ATC and military ATC perspective, of particular interest is how mixed-operations (manned/UAS) have worked in the past and the role of aircraft equipage. Knowledge gained from this information is expected to assist the NASA UAS in the NAS project in directing research foci thus assisting the FAA in the development of rules, regulations, and policies related to UAS in the NAS
