Previous work has shown that sensory pleasure is both the motor and the sign of optimal behaviors aimed at physiological ends. From an evolutionary psychology point of view it may be postulated that mental pleasure evolved from sensory pleasure. Accordingly, the present work tested empirically the hypothesis that pleasure signals efficacious mental activity. In Experiment 1, ten subjects played video-golf on a Macintosh computer. After each hole they were invited to rate their pleasure or displeasure on a magnitude estimation scale. Their ratings of pleasure correlated negatively with the difference par minus performance, i.e., the better the performance the greater the pleasure reported. In Experiments 2 and 3, the pleasure of reading poems was correlated with comprehension, both rated by two groups of subjects, science students and arts students. In the majority of science students pleasure was significantly correlated with comprehension. Only one arts student showed this relationship; this result suggests that the proposed relationship between pleasure and cognitive efficiency is not tautological. Globally, the results support the hypothesis that pleasure is aroused by the same mechanisms, and follows the same laws, in physiological and cognitive mental tasks and also leads to the optimization of performance.

The background of this study is the low grade science students learning outcomes VI C SDN 004 Tembilahan Kota, Of the 23 students, only 9 students (39.13%) were completed. Based on this the researchers conducted the study by applying image media to improve learning outcomes IPA. This research is a class act who performed a total of two cycles consisting of two meetings, the study was conducted with four phases, namely planning, implementation stage, the stage of observation and reflection stages. The study states that science learning outcomes of students has increased in each cycle, this is evidenced by the increasing average student learning outcomes, the preliminary data the average student learning outcomes at 66.00 has increased in the first cycle of up to 83.30, and increased up to 91.74. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the application of drawing media can improve learning outcomes VI grade science students SDN 004 Tembilahan Kota.

Based on the author's experience teaching for this in SD Negeri 010 Banjar PanjangKerumutan, and based on observation and early reflections by the author seen low creativityof students in learning that ultimately ends up in the low student learning outcomesthemselves, especially on the subjects of Natural Sciences. After many tests on the midtermturns lower student learning outcomes. Completeness class only reach 50% or 10 out of 20students, KKM for subjects of Natural Sciences which has been set in the class IV SD Negeri010 Banjar Panjang Kerumutan is the number 70. As Judge things that cause children lowvalue, from the aspect of teachers are: teacher always using methods lectures, learningachievement of children have been considered equally by teachers, and the learning processis dominated by the teacher. This research is a classroom action research (PTK). Class actionresearch through the stages of planning, implementation, observation and reflection. Fromthe research data is a result of learning of natural science at the top can be seen learningoutcome science students from the action on the preliminary data for the first cycle to thesecond cycle by improving student learning outcomes that menigkat are significant, the initialdata of students who achieve mastery only 50 % and cycle to the first increase has reached70% and the thoroughness of the class in the second cycle reaches 85%.

The background of this study is the low result belaja fifth grade science students at SDN 021Tanjung Palas, out of 25 students only 8 students (32.00%), rendahnnya learning outcomes iscaused by: (a) students lack enthusiasm in learning; (b) students are not able to answerquestions that are of reason; (c) teachers do not involve students actively in learning; (d) lessthan the maximum in using props; and (e) the level of students' understanding of the subjectmatter IPA is still low. This research is a classroom action research (PTK), this study aims todescribe the results of learning through the use of learning model CTL. The subjects werestudents of class V A 021 SDN Tanjung Palas. This study was conducted by two cycles.Improved learning outcomes in terms of four categories, namely absorption, the effectivenessof learning, mastery learning completeness students both individual and classicalcompleteness and thoroughness of learning outcomes. The instrument used for data collectionis an oral test and a written test in the form of worksheets that do after the learning process.The results showed that the learning outcomes of science students has increased at eachcycle, as shown by the acquisition of mastery learning students, the first cycle the number ofstudents who pass are 15 students or 60% and the second cycle the number of students whopass are 22 students or 88% , It can be concluded that through CTL learning model canimprove learning outcomes a fifth grade science students at SDN 021 Tanjung Palas.

The background of this research is the low of science learning result of grade 6 students of SDN 004 TembilahanKota. The purpose of this study is to improve the learning outcomes of science students of grade VI SDN 004Tembilahan Kota with the application of contextual approach. This research was conducted in class VI SDN004 Tembilahan Kota. This research is a Classroom Action Research with two cycles. The subjects of thisresearch are the sixth grade students of SDN 004 Tembilahan Kota lesson year which consist of 30 people with16 men and 14 women. Based on the results of the research from the teacher activity sheets appear to increase ateach meeting. At the first meeting of cycle I 64.3%, the second meeting of cycle I was 67.86%. At the firstmeeting of cycle II 71,43%, and second meeting of cycle II 78,57%. While the student activity also increasesevery meeting. At the first meeting of cycle I 67,86%, second meeting of cycle I 71,43%. At the first meeting ofthe second cycle of 75%, and the second meeting II cycle 78.57%. The learning outcomes in the first cycleincreased by 12.8% from the base score of 67.83% to 76.5%. In the second cycle increased by 17.2% to 79.5%.

This research is based on the result of science learning of grade VI students of SD Negeri 018 Kubang JayaKecamatan Siak Hulu Kabupaten Kampar which is still very low. This study aims to improve science learningoutcomes. From the data analysis, there was an increase of both teacher activity, student activity, and studentlearning result. The teacher activity at the 1st cycle meeting percentage was 70% (good) and at the 2nd meetingincreased 5% to 75% (good). In the second cycle of the meeting 3 teacher activities increased 10% from 75%(good) to 85% (very good) and at meeting 4 increased 10% from 85% (very good) to 95% (very good). Judgingfrom the student activity also increased from the 1st meeting of cycle I was 65% (enough) and at meeting 2increased 15% to 80% (good). In the second cycle of meeting 3 it increases 5% from 80% (good) to 85% (verygood) and at meeting 4 increases 10% from 85% (very good) to 95% (very good).

Among the most interesting problems in competitive programming involve maximum flows. However, efficient algorithms for solving these problems are often difficult for students to understand at an intuitive level. One reason for this difficulty may be a lack of suitable metaphors relating these algorithms to concepts that the students already understand. This paper introduces a novel maximum flow algorithm, Tidal Flow, that is designed to be intuitive to undergraduate andpre-university computer science students.
