Penelitian ini didasari dari hasil observasi dan wawancara kepada  mahasiswa PPL yang mengajar Bahasa Mandarin di SMP Tritunggal Semarang pada tahun 2019. Didapatkan data bahwa media pembelajaran yang digunakan oleh guru kurang interaktif dan cenderung satu arah. Hal ini mengakibatkan siswa merasa bosan dan kurang termotivasi dalam pembelajaran yang berdampak kurangnya pemahaman materi oleh siswa dalam pengusaan kosakata bahasa Mandarin. Berdasarkan permasalahan di atas, maka penelitian ini bertujuan 1) menganalisis kebutuhan siswa berbasis Adobe Flash dalam pembelajaran bahasa mandarin; 2) mengembangkan media pembelajaran berbasis Adobe Flash dalam pembelajaran bahasa mandarin.; dan 3)  mendeskripsikan validitas ahli dan guru terhadap produk media pembelajaran  berbasis Adobe Flash. Hasil penelitian ini adalah guru dan siswa menghendaki media yang berisi beberapa komponen seperti: memuat SK/KD dalam media, materi kosa kata diambil dari HSK, pengantar dalam media menggunakan bahasa Indonesia, dll. Selain itu dalam pengembangan media pembelajaran ini menggunakan Adobe Flash CS6 yang dikembangkan menjadi aplikasi android agar dapat dioperasikan di manapun dan kapanpun. Hasil validasi oleh ahli media menunjukkan bahwa kuis interaktif pilihan ganda bahasa Mandarin mendapat nilai rata – rata 82,53 yang berarti media masuk dalam kategori layak/sesuai dengan skor 3 (rentang nilai 71-85). Hasil uji coba media tersebut menggunakan skala terbatas dengan jumlah responden 10 orang dari peserta didik SMP Tritunggal Semarang menyatakan bahwa media kuis interaktif pilihan ganda bahasa Mandarin yang dikembangkan diminati oleh peserta didik.This research is based on the results of observations and interviews with PPL students who teach Mandarin at SMP Tritunggal Semarang in 2019. Based on a preliminary study, it is found that the learning media used by the teacher is less interactive and tends to be one-way. This results in students feeling bored and less motivated in learning which results in a lack of understanding of the material by students in mastering Mandarin vocabulary. Based on the above problems, then The purpose of this study is 1) to analyze the needs of students based on Adobe Flash in learning Mandarin; 2) developing learning media based on Adobe Flash in Chinese language learning; and 3) describe the validity of experts and teachers for learning media products based on Adobe Flash. The results of this study are that teachers and students want media that contains several components such as: covering SK / KD on the media, vocabulary material taken from HSK, introduction to the media using Indonesian, etc. Besides the development of instructional media using Adobe Flash CS6 developed into an android application so that it can be operated anywhere and anytime. The results of the validation by media experts showed that the Chinese multiple choice interactive quiz got an average score of 82.53, which means that the media was included in the category according to the score of 3 (range 71-85). The results of the media trial using a limited scale with 10 respondents from Tritunggal Junior High School Semarang students stated that the Chinese multiple choice interactive quiz media developed was of interest to students.

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Revised (WISC—R) Information subtest was administered to learning disabled children using two methods of administration, the standard (recall) method and a multiple-choice format. Those children who were tested first with the multiple-choice format and subsequently with the standard format did better on the standard format than expected. This preliminary study suggests a learning effect of such multiple-choice testing and the desirability of further research being undertaken.

A preliminary study of human mammary carcinoma on the ultrastructural level is reported for a metastatic, subcutaneous nodule, obtained as a surgical biopsy. The patient's tumor had responded favorably to a series of hormonal therapies, including androgens, estrogens, progestins, and corticoids for recurring nodules over eight years. The pertinent nodule was removed from the region of the gluteal maximus, two weeks following stilbestrol therapy. It was about 1.5 cms in diameter, and was located within the dermis. Pieces from it were fixed immediately in cold fixatives: phosphate buffered osmium tetroxide, glutaraldehyde, and paraformaldehyde. Embedment in each case was in Vestopal W. Contrasting was done with combinations of uranyl acetate and lead hydroxide.

A new strain of mice, which had arisen by mutation from a dystrophic mouse colony was designated ‘mdx’, because the genetic defect, which manifests itself in brief periods of muscle destruction followed by episodes of muscle regeneration appears to be X-linked. Further studies of histopathological changes in muscle from ‘mdx’ mice at the light microscopic or electron microscopic levels have been published, but only one preliminary study has been on the tibialis anterior (TA) of ‘mdx’ mice less than four weeks old. Lesions in the ‘mdx’ mice vary between different muscles, and centronucleation of fibers in all muscles studied so far appears to be especially prominent in older mice. Lesions in young ‘mdx’ mice have not been studied extensively, and the results appear to be at variance with one another. The degenerative and regenerative aspects of the lesions in the TA of 23 to 26-day-old ‘mdx’ mice appear to vary quantitatively.

Left ventricular assist systems are being developed for eventual long term or permanent implantation as an alternative to heart transplantation in patients unsuitable for or denied the transplant option. Evaluation of the effects of these devices upon normal physiology is required. A preliminary study was conducted to evaluate the morphology of aortic tissue from calves implanted with a pneumatic Left Ventricular Assist device-LVAD. Two 3 month old heifer calves (calf 1 and calf 2) were electively explanted after 128 days and 47 days respectively. Descending thoracic aortic tissue from both animals was removed immediately post mortem and placed into karnovsky’s fixative. The tissue was subsequently processed for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Some aortic tissue was fixed in neutral buffered formalin and processed for routine light microscopy.
