Occurrence of microplastics in the environment has become a serious problem with too many variables and unknowns regarding their relationship not only with human health but also with other parts of the environment. The toxic and ecotoxic properties are still a subject of interest and the scientific attitude to their threat is not unified. There are numerous review papers which report on microplastic particles occurrence in water, but similarly complex reviews on methods of their removal are not that frequent. This paper aims to provide a brief overview summarizing the most tested methods of microplastics removal and intends to critically evaluate them accordingly and advert to their discrepancies.

The present research investigated how scientific authority increases the lethal use of animals in biomedical experimentation. In two behavioral studies ( N = 151 and 150), participants were required to incrementally administer 12 doses of a toxic chemical to a 53-cm fish (in reality, a biomimetic robot) for research on animal learning. Consistent with the Engaged Followership Theory on obedience, participants placed in a pro-scientific mindset more severely harmed the laboratory animal. In a cross-sectional study ( N = 351), participants in medical fields endorsed a more pro-scientific attitude than those in paramedical fields, which mediated their support for animal experimentation. Drawing on a representative European sample ( N = 31,238), we also confirmed the specificity of this link by controlling for potential demographic and ideological confounds. In a final study ( N = 1,598), instrumental harm was shown as mediating the link between a pro-scientific attitude and support for animal experimentation.

AbstractThis research purposes to analyze the improvement of scientific attitudes, student learning outcomes, responses by utilizing environment media in subject of preservation living environment and sustainable development geography subject of XI Social-3 class at SMA Negeri 1 Angsana in 2017. This research used classroom action research. Subject of this research is students of class XI Social-3 SMA Negeri 1 Angsana, it has 34 people. The technique of collecting data used observation sheet or questionnaire and written test. The result of the research shows the improvement of scientific attitude students obtained in the first cycle average 67,19% with enough category, and the second cycles has increased average 79,00% with good category. Learning outcomes in the first cycle students who achieve a minimum mastery of learning as much as 22 people (64,7%) with enough category and the second cycles has increasedas much as 30 people (88,2) with very good category. The students response in the first cycle with very good category has increased98,23% with very good category. The result of this research can be concluded that study by utilizing environment as learning media can increase the scientific attitude science, learning outcomes and positive response in geography subject in preservation living environment and sustainable development class XI Social-3 SMA Negeri 1 Angsana, Tanah Bumbu regency. Learning by utilizing environment as media can motivate, fun, creative, thinking scientific and students learning outcomeare increasing.Key words: Environment media, scientific attitude students, learning outcomes AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis peningkatan sikap ilmiah, hasil belajar siswa dan tanggapan (respon) dengan memanfaatkan media lingkungan pada pokok bahasan pelestarian lingkungan hidup dan pembangunan berkelanjutan mata pelajaran geografi kelas XI IPS3 di SMA Negeri 1 Angsana tahun 2017.

Open Science is a movement that stresses the importance of a more honest and transparent scientific attitude by promoting a series of research principles and by warning from common, although not necessarily intentional, questionable practices and misconceptions. The term Open Science as a whole refers to the fundamental concepts of 'openness, transparency, rigour, reproducibility, replicability, and accumulation of knowledge' (Cruwell 2018). The goodness of the latter depends in great part on the reproducibility and replicability of the studies that contribute to knowledge accumulation.
