The primary purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of stage band versus concert band music literature on the development of musicality and aesthetic sensitivity. Accordingly, pre-instruction and post-instruction tests were administered to approximately 600 band students in six Contra Costa County, California, high schools during the 1971–1972 academic year. There was no significant difference in musicality between the band organizations as evidenced by test scores on the Gaston Test of Musicality. There was, however, a pervasive superiority in favor of the concert bands on the California Test of Aesthetic Judgments in Music. An important observation drawn from the data is that individuals exposed exclusively or partially to concert band literature attained the primary goal of music education—the development of aesthetic sensitivity to music. In this area, they did better than the stage band students.

This final project is aimed for applying Read Encode Annotate and Ponder (REAP) technique for teaching reading comprehension. The objectives of the research are, (1) to find out the students’ reading comprehension after being taught without using REAP technique. (2) to find out the students’ reading comprehension after being taught by using REAP technique. (3) to know whether there is any significant difference of students’ reading comprehension being taught by using REAP technique and without REAP technique. Following the study case the writer used quantitative research. The research design of this study is true experimental design. The sample is the eleventh grade students at SMA Negeri 6 Semarang in Academic Year 2014-2015. There are three classes used, they are the experimental class, control class and a class to be tried out. The writer used test to collect the data. The data was gained from the tests that were given to the students. The study found that the mean score for the class taught without REAP technique was 78.16 and the mean score for the class taught with using REAP technique was 92.05. The students’ score that was taught by using REAP technique was better than students’ score that taught without REAP technique. There was any significant difference between experimental group and control group, because the computation t-test was 7.5. So that  is higher than  because 7.5 > 2.00. It means that is acceptable and  is rejected. Based on the study, it can be concluded that using REAP technique to increase reading comprehension has positive influence to the students. So, English teachers have to use REAP technique to increase the students’ reading comprehension.

Previous research suggests that students participating in school-based musical ensembles are more engaged in school and more likely to connect to their peers in school; however, researchers have not specifically investigated peer connectedness among adolescents in school-based music ensembles. The purpose of this study was to explore middle school band students’ perceptions of peer connectedness. Participants ( N = 317) indicated moderately high levels of peer connectedness both within the concert band and school. Levels of peer connectedness differed between schools; however, no statistical difference was found by grade/band level or SES. Suggestions for future research and implications for youth development and music education professions are discussed.

Geographic impediments and urbanicity are core aspects of distance learning, the latter of which was defined as the degree of population concentration in a community. As distance education was largely developed to reach students removed from urban centres, better understanding of music instruction through videoconferencing may help further develop approaches to distance music education. The purpose of this study was to examine potential perceptual differences between urbanicity groupings after ensemble instruction via videoconferencing. Participants were 134 seventh (N = 80) and eighth (N = 54) grade band students at five different schools in the Southwest United States, consisting of 63 females and 71 males. Participants completed the Pupils’ Attitude Towards Technology short form questionnaire (PATT-SQ) to establish group equivalency. After completing the PATT-SQ, participants engaged in a rehearsal with a guest teacher present via videoconferencing software and immediately completed the Skype Ensemble Instruction Questionnaire. Results revealed a statistically significant difference for urbanicity, F(2, 131) = 5.891, p = 0.004, η2 = 0.083. Post hoc (Tukey Honest Significant Difference) analysis indicated that the mean for rural participants significantly differed from urban and suburban means. Possible explanations, future implications and limitations were then discussed.

The purpose of the study was to differentiate those two methods, which were then found the appropriate method between STAD and SGD for learning writing skill. This study used a mixed method by using comparative design. The subject of this study were the students at the tenth grade of SMK SalafiyahKajen, students’ class RPL 2 and TB. The students from both of the class had different treatment which RPL 2 was treated using SGD and TB was treated using STAD. The technique of data collection was a test, observation, and documentation. The test consisted of two tests; they were pre-test and post-test. After collecting the data, it was found that the average score of pre-test of SGD group was 50.06 and for STAD group was 47.75; meanwhile, the average score of post-test of SGD group was 68.70 and for STAD group was 63.10. So, the computation of t count was 5.031, and the t table was 1.69. The t count was higher than t table, which stated that Ha was accepted. It meant that there was a significant difference between students' writing achievement which was taught by using STAD and SGD. The conclusion defined that SGD was better than STAD to be applied in learning writing.

The minimum size of coral transplants, Acropora formosa, was assessed to support their survival and growth. For this, 150 coral fragments of different sizes (5, 10, 15 cm) were transplanted close to the donor colony. Their survivorship and growth were observed for 12 months. At the end of the observation time, 90% of 15 cm-transplanted coral fragments survived, while the others (10cm and 5 cm) did 86% and 82% respectively. The average growth rate of 5 cm-coral fragments was 0.860 cm/month, while 10 and 15 cm-fragments were 0.984 cm/month and 1.108 cm/month respectively. One-way ANOVA showed that there was significant difference (p<0.05) among the three (5, 10, 15 cm) transplant initial sizes in which the longest fragment size tended to survive longer than the smaller one.  However, the smaller transplants grew better than the bigger one, 10.318 cm/year (206%) for 5 cm-transplant, 11.803 cm/year (118%) for 10 cm-transplant, and 13.299 cm/year (89%) for 15 cm-transplant, respectively. Ukuran minimal fragmen karang Acropora formosa yang ditransplantasi diduga untuk mendukung ketahanan hidup dan pertumbuhannya. Untuk itu, 150 fragmen karang ditransplantasi ke lokasi yang berdekatan dengan koloni induknya.  Ketahanan hidup dan pertumbuhan semua fragmen karang yang ditransplantasi diamati selama 12 bulan.  Pada akhir pengamatan, 90% dari fragmen karang berukuran 15 cm yang ditransplantasi dapat bertahan hidup, sedangkan yang lainnya (ukuran 10 cm dan 5 cm) masing-masing sebesar 86% dan 82%.  Rata-rata laju pertumbuhan fragmen karang dengan ukuran awal 5 cm adalah 0,860 cm/bulan, sedangkan ukuran fragmen 10 dan 15 cm masing-masing adalah 0,984 cm/bulan and 1,108 cm/bulan. ANOVA satu arah menunjukkan adanya perbedaan yang nyata (p<0.05) antara ketiga ukuran fragmen yang berbeda, di mana ukuran fragmen karang yang lebih panjang cenderung mempunyai ketahanan hidup yang lebih baik. Namun demikian, ukuran transplant yang lebih kecil memiliki pertumbuhan lebih baik dibandingkan dengan ukuran yang lebih besar, yakni10,318 cm/tahun (206%) untuk transplant berukuran 5 cm, 11,803 cm/tahun (118%) untuk 10 cm, dan 13,299 cm/tahun (89%) untuk ukuran 15 cm.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anti-fatigue activity of maca hydroalcoholic extract (ME), which mainly contains macamides and polysaccharides. ME was prepared by circumfluence extraction with enzymatic pre-treatment. Anti-fatigue activity of ME was investigated in weight-loaded forced swimming mice, with pure macamides and commercially available maca tablet as positive control. Compared with normal group, pure macamides treatment group could prolong the swimming time to exhaustion, but there was no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05); while ME (middle-dose and high-dose groups) could effectively prolong the swimming durations (P < 0.05). Supplementation with pure macamides significantly decreased blood lactic acid (BLA), whereas ME significantly increased hepatic glycogen (HG), decreased BLA, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) compared with those in normal control (P < 0.05). The results suggested that the anti-fatigue effect of ME was better than that of pure macamides, which can be explained by the increase of glycogen storage and the reduction of metabolites accumulation.
