Educational animation is an animated product produced specifically for the purpose of learning. Its popularity in helping students understand and remember information presented increased since the advent of computer graphics technology. The lack of an increase in the production of animated short films in Indonesia resulted in at least encountered the works of domestically-made animation education. Stimulation of creation of animated works based on the local culture should be a concern for creators to produce Indonesian animated film. This has encouraged the idea of research and the creation of the works to add alternative work spectacle for children to be more varied. The work produced will be expected to become one of the benchmarks for the creators of short animated films in Indonesia. The short animated film themed character education and have the characterization and design characteristics based on local wisdom is still a little bit. Production work is still dominated by elements that showed the humorous aspects of violence as like a common thing to do. It is extremely dangerous due to the development of the child's personality or character will indirectly entertained spectacle dominated by the less educated. Therefore bring back figures Punakawan as "teacher" character education in the form of short animated films for the sake of growth is necessary to be realized next generation character education in Indonesia.Keywords: educational animation, punakawan, moral educationAbstrakAnimasi edukasi adalah sebuah produk animasi yang diproduksi khusus untuk tujuan pembelajaran. Popularitasnya dalam membantu peserta didik memahami dan mengingat informasi yang disajikan meningkat sejak munculnya teknologi komputer grafis. Kurangnya peningkatan produksi karya film pendek animasi di Indonesia mengakibatkan sedikitnya dijumpai karya-karya animasi edukasi buatan anak negeri. Rangsangan penciptaan karya animasi berbasis pada budaya lokal sepatutnya menjadi perhatian bagi para kreator dalam menghasilkan film animasi Indonesia. Hal inilah yang mendorong ide penelitian dan penciptaan karya guna menambahkan karya alternatif tontonan bagi anak-anak supaya lebih bervariatif. Karya yang dihasilkan nantinya diharapkan mampu menjadi salah satu tolok ukur bagi pencipta-pencipta film pendek animasi di Indonesia.Film pendek animasi yang bertemakan pendidikan karakter dan memiliki ciri penokohan dan desain berbasis kearifan lokal masih sangat sedikit. Produksi karya masih didominasi oleh unsur-unsur humoris yang mempertontonkan aspek kekerasan sebagai layaknya hal yang umum dilakukan. Hal ini sangat berbahaya dikarenakan perkembangan kepribadian atau karakter sang anak secara tidak langsung akan didominasi oleh tontonan hiburan yang kurang mendidik. Oleh karena itu memunculkan kembali tokoh-tokoh Punakawan selaku “guru” pendidikan karakter dalam wujud karya film pendek animasi sangatlah perlu direalisasikan demi pertumbuhan pendidikan karakter generasi penerus bangsa Indonesia dikemudian hari. Kata kunci: Animasi edukasi, punakawan, pendidikan karakter

Over the last century or so, English has become a global lingua franca. Today, English is the first language of 400 million people and the second language of as many as 1.4 billion (Millward & Hayes, 2012: 342). In addition, it is the language that is predominantly used on the Internet; 80% of homepages on the Web are in English, followed by German (4.5%) and Japanese (3.1%) (Millward & Hayes, 2012: 343). Needless to say, English serves as a medium of communication regardless of the speaker's first language. As English spreads globally, fragments of its lexicon also permeate native languages, enriching their lexicons. This paper is concerned with the use of English and its elements, including English-derived words, in contemporary Japan, especially within the discourse of ‘Manners Posters’, posters which promote good manners in public spaces, and advertising texts. These types of media display creative and innovative uses of English that interact with Japanese at various linguistic levels in the form of wordplay, communicating messages, sometimes even in the form of puns, to achieve particular ends in a given context. We will look at this phenomenon from the ‘glocal’ point of view – i.e., the mechanisms and effects of a fusion between ‘global English’ and local culture that create a localised or nativised taste of the global.

The dynamic development of the information society and the omnipresence of ICTs has changed the work of Polish teachers. As a result of the expansion of digital forms, Polish teachers engage in various professional activities in cyberspace. The author indicated that Polish teachers have become extremely active on the internet, and she discussed the phenomenon of teacher blogs. A hugely interesting issue is the influence of blogs on teaching Polish in schools, and the development of teachers’ professional competences. The act of writing journals online may bring benefits for the digital school (by adapting teaching processes to the needs of tablet children and global teenagers, combining the methods typical for the technological revolution with traditional teaching tools). A review of blogs maintained on Facebook enabled the author to indicate various strategies of working with pupils, and the evolution of creative attitudes of Polish teachers.

The findings indicate that there are five unique barriers to e-learning adoption in Sudan including; poor network infrastructure, lack of bandwidth in rural areas, electricity outages, lack of electricity in rural areas, and stakeholder’s deficiency of e-skills. Furthermore, the study showed that some professors are old, and they resist the adoption of e-learning. Likewise, the study found that 67% of respondents were not able to access the internet in their areas during Covid19 lockdown, 25% of respondents do not possess computers, 35% of respondents did not receive training for gaining E-skills, and 74% of respondents prefer learning in classrooms.

Summary5,-5'-diphenyl-2-thiohydantoin (DPTH) is an effective inhibitor of thyroxine (T4) stimulation of α-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase in rat liver mitochondria. Because this finding indicated a possible tool for future study of the mode of action of thyroxine, the ultrastructural and biochemical effects of DPTH and/or thyroxine on rat liver mere investigated.Rats were fed either standard or DPTH (0.06%) diet for 30 days before T4 (250 ug/kg/day) was injected. Injection of T4 occurred daily for 10 days prior to sacrifice. After removal of the liver and kidneys, part of the tissue was frozen at -50°C for later biocheailcal analyses, while the rest was prefixed in buffered 3.5X glutaraldehyde (390 mOs) and post-fixed in buffered 1Z OsO4 (376 mOs). Tissues were embedded in Araldlte 502 and the sections examined in a Zeiss EM 9S.Hepatocytes from hyperthyroid rats (Fig. 2) demonstrated enlarged and more numerous mitochondria than those of controls (Fig. 1). Glycogen was almost totally absent from the cytoplasm of the T4-treated rats.

Insect molting and metamorphosis are elicited by a class of polyhydroxylated steroids, ecdysteroids, that originate in the prothoracic glands (PGs). Prothoracicotropic hormone stimulation of steroidogenesis by the PGs at the cellular level involves both calcium and cAMP. Cell-to-cell communication mediated by gap junctions may play a key role in regulating signal transduction by controlling the transmission of small molecules and ions between adjacent cells. This is the first report of gap junctions in the PGs, the evidence obtained by means of SEM, thin sections and freeze-fracture replicas.
