In this research, the design of innovative promotional packaging made of carton, which was made from the invasive, non-native acacia is presented. The entire planning process was based on the principle of ecological design. One of the main objectives was to create an innovative and versatile ecological product, a calendar that does not require any adhesive in its composition. The basic, mechanical, surface and structural properties of the ecological carton with a high grammage made of acacia compared them with the most commonly used one-side coated white cardboard made of wood fibres has been analysed. The result of this work is the environmentally friendly multi-purpose promotional packaging, the calendar, which could also be used as a storage place for pens and other office supplies.

Environmental disrespectful behavior such as the habit of littering, indifferent aboutthe consumption of the environmentally friendly products, then the lack of knowledge ofstudents about environment, also low ability of students in utilizing waste reflect that theecological intelligence of class VIII-B SMPN 3 lembang is still lacking. Therefore it isnecessary to take ways to improve the ecological intelligence of students. The effortsmade for that is by utilizing inorganic waste in making flipchart as a learning media ofsocial science. The expected objective of the research is improving the ecologicalintelligence of students in utilizing inorganic waste by describing started from planning,implementation, constraints and result of the improvement of the ecological intelligence ofstudents. The classroom action research uses model of Elliot. The result of the research,first, the planning process is conducted to determine SK/KD, preparing RPP includesapplying the flipchart media and preparing research instrument. Second, theimplementation process is implementing learning aligned with the planning of theresearch. Third, the constraints in the research is, the students are puzzled yet to determinethe theme of the flipchart which is made constraints, furthermore, make studentsconsciously keeping the environment around them. Fourth, the result in the research showsthe increasing in each cycle. Cycle I ecological intelligence of students in utilizinginorganic waste reached the category of “enough” that is 66.6%. Cycle II reached the“good” category that is 80.3%, and cycle III reached the “good” category that is 82.8%.Therefore it can be concluded that the utilization of inorganic waste made as a media oflearning in the form of flipchart includes Including planning, implementation, andconstraints and results obtained could improve the ecological intelligence of students.

Chitin, which is composed of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose (N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) units linked by β-(1,4) linkage, makes up the cell walls of fungi, the exoskeletons of arthropods, such as crustaceans (e.g., crabs, lobsters and shrimps) and insects, the radulae of mollusks, and the beaks of cephalopods, including squid and octopuses. Both chitin and clay are sustainable materials, as they are low cost, biodegradable and readily available. That is why, in this study, sodium montmorillonite (CNa) nanoclay and 1-140 (C15A) organo-nanoclay were used as nanofiller support in the preparation of chitin/clay bio-nanocomposites. Trichloroacetic acid was used to dissolve the chitin and to disperse the clay in the chitin solution. Chitin/CNa and chitin/C15A bio-nanocomposites were synthesized by the solution-induced intercalation method. The effect of the nanofiller on the bio-nanocomposite was investigated by varying the loading rates as follows: 1, 3 and 5% by weight. The composites were characterized by FT-IR, XRD and SEM methods. The XRD patterns and SEM images showed that the clay dispersion in the chitin biopolymer matrix presented an exfoliated structure. It was noted that neither the nanoclay nor the organo-nanoclay used in the synthesis of the bio-composites affected the formation of the exfoliated structure. This result can be attributed to the use of a low amount of clay. These newly synthesized bio-composites, which are environmentally friendly and sustainable, can find application in many different areas in the future.

Four experiments were aimed at elucidating some aspects of the preference for facelike patterns in newborns. Experiment 1 showed a preference for a stimulus whose components were located in the correct arrangement for a human face. Experiment 2 showed a preference for stimuli that had optimal sensory properties for the newborn visual system. Experiment 3 showed that babies directed their attention to a facelike pattern even when it was presented simultaneously with a non-facelike stimulus with optimal sensory properties. Experiment 4 showed the preference for facelike patterns in the temporal hemifield but not in the nasal hemifield. It was concluded that newborns' preference for facelike patterns reflects the activity of a subcortical system which is sensitive to the structural properties of the stimulus.
