Cashew Nut Shell

Abstract. Cashew plants is one of the plantation commodities in Indonesia that has high economic value. Cashew nut shell waste can be used as a botanical antiviral for Cowpea mild mottle virus. This activity aims for soybean farmers to be able to provide their own insecticidal at low prices and easily obtained. The method used viz. : 1) an interview and observation, 2) the method of socialization with lectures and discussions or questions and answers; 3) training methods with lecture, demonstrations and direct practice with demoplot. Based on the analysis of community service programs, the following conclusions are obtained: 1) in terms of achievements based on the objectives, substance and efforts of this community service program, it is considered to be very effective in building community independence based on local potential, namely waste originating from cashew nut shells and soybean planting in forest shade area; 2) in terms of the results, benefits and impacts resulting from this community service program are numerous, namely: increasing public awareness to utilize waste originating from cashew nut shell waste for antiviral, increasing community knowledge and skills in the field of processing waste cashew nut shell for botanical antiviral. Abstrak. Tanaman jambu mete merupakan salah satu komoditas perkebunan di Indonesia yang memiliki nilai ekonomi tinggi. Limbah kulit kacang mete dapat digunakan sebagai antiviral nabati untuk Cowpea mild mottle virus. Kegiatan ini bertujuan agar petani kedelai dapat menyediakan antiviral sendiri dengan harga murah dan mudah didapat. Metode yang digunakan : 1) wawancara dan observasi, 2) metode sosialisasi dengan ceramah dan diskusi atau tanya jawab; 3) metode pelatihan dengan ceramah dan demonstrasi serta praktek langsung dengan demoplot. Berdasarkan analisis program pengabdian kepada masyarakat, diperoleh kesimpulan sebagai berikut: 1) dari segi capaian sesuai tujuan, substansi dan upaya program pengabdian masyarakat ini dinilai sangat efektif dalam membangun kemandirian masyarakat berbasis potensi lokal, yaitu limbah yang berasal dari kulit kacang mete dan penanaman kedelai di kawasan hutan lindung; 2) Dari segi hasil, manfaat dan dampak yang dihasilkan dari program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini sangat banyak, yaitu: meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat untuk memanfaatkan limbah yang berasal dari limbah kulit kacang mete sebagai antiviral, meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan masyarakat di bidang pengolahan limbah kacang mete untuk antiviral nabati.

The author outlines the environmental problems confronting Nigeria and suggests that its condition is typical of the deteriorating environment of Sub-Saharan Africa. In this context he stresses the role of education and public enlightenment in the emergence of an environment-friendly society He then sets out the findings of a training needs assessment carried out in Nigeria for Coordinators of School Conservation Clubs and Programme Managers in State Environmental Protection Agencies. The study shows that in general these professionals are not yet adequately prepared for their roles in the implementation of the environmental education curricula and public awareness programmes. This lack of preparedness relates to (a) knowledge of the causes and consequences of major environmental problems, and the actions needed to correct or avert them; (b) adoption of appropriate training methods and techniques; and (c) the systematic use of a variety of instructional resources. Finally recommendations are offered for training the stakeholders in order to bring them to an acceptable level of competence in the identified areas of deficiency.

Toxic Trace Metals

INTRODUCTION“Acid rain” and “acid deposition” are terms no longer confined to the lexicon of atmospheric scientists and 1imnologists. Public awareness of and concern over this phenomenon, particularly as it affects acid-sensitive regions of North America, have increased dramatically in the last five years. Temperate ecosystems are suffering from decreased pH caused by acid deposition. Human health may be directly affected by respirable sulfates and by the increased solubility of toxic trace metals in acidified waters. Even man's monuments are deteriorating as airborne acids etch metal and stone features.Sulfates account for about two thirds of airborne acids with wet and dry deposition contributing equally to acids reaching surface waters or ground. The industrial Midwest is widely assumed to be the source of most sulfates reaching the acid-sensitive Northeast since S02 emitted as a byproduct of coal combustion in the Midwest dwarfs S02 emitted from all sources in the Northeast.

Purpose The purpose of this article is to situate the recent language disorder label debate within a school's perspective. As described in two recent The ASHA Leader articles, there is international momentum to change specific language impairment to developmental language disorder . Proponents of this change cite increased public awareness and research funding as part of the rationale. However, it is unclear whether this label debate is worthwhile or even practical for the school-based speech-language pathologist (SLP). A discussion of the benefits and challenges to a shift in language disorder labels is provided. Conclusions Although there are important arguments for consistency in labeling childhood language disorder, the reality of a label change in U.S. schools is hard to imagine. School-based services are driven by eligibility through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which has its own set of labels. There are myriad reasons why advocating for the developmental language disorder label may not be the best use of SLPs' time, perhaps the most important of which is that school SLPs have other urgent priorities.

Purpose A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect information from clinical audiologists about rehabilitation options for adult patients who report significant auditory difficulties despite having normal or near-normal hearing sensitivity. This work aimed to provide more information about what audiologists are currently doing in the clinic to manage auditory difficulties in this patient population and their views on the efficacy of recommended rehabilitation methods. Method A questionnaire survey containing multiple-choice and open-ended questions was developed and disseminated online. Invitations to participate were delivered via e-mail listservs and through business cards provided at annual audiology conferences. All responses were anonymous at the time of data collection. Results Responses were collected from 209 participants. The majority of participants reported seeing at least one normal-hearing patient per month who reported significant communication difficulties. However, few respondents indicated that their location had specific protocols for the treatment of these patients. Counseling was reported as the most frequent rehabilitation method, but results revealed that audiologists across various work settings are also successfully starting to fit patients with mild-gain hearing aids. Responses indicated that patient compliance with computer-based auditory training methods was regarded as low, with patients generally preferring device-based rehabilitation options. Conclusions Results from this questionnaire survey strongly suggest that audiologists frequently see normal-hearing patients who report auditory difficulties, but that few clinicians are equipped with established protocols for diagnosis and management. While many feel that mild-gain hearing aids provide considerable benefit for these patients, very little research has been conducted to date to support the use of hearing aids or other rehabilitation options for this unique patient population. This study reveals the critical need for additional research to establish evidence-based practice guidelines that will empower clinicians to provide a high level of clinical care and effective rehabilitation strategies to these patients.

Fluency Disorders

Abstract Educating students and informing clinicians regarding developments in therapy approaches and in evidence-based practice are important elements of the responsibility of specialist academic posts in universities. In this article, the development of narrative therapy and its theoretical background are outlined (preceded by a general outline of how the topic of fluency disorders is introduced to students at an Irish university). An example of implementing narrative therapy with a 12-year-old boy is presented. The brief case description demonstrates how narrative therapy facilitated this 12-year-old make sense of his dysfluency and his phonological disorder, leading to his improved understanding and management of the problems, fostering a sense of control that led ultimately to their resolution.
