One of the tasks of the development of children aged 11-15 years is to think in a more abstract and logical way and more idealistic thinking. This ability to think will be disrupted if teenagers have difficulty concentrating during learning. Therefore we need a method that is fun and can make children relax in learning so that they can concentrate their concentration on ongoing learning. One method that can be used is the Murrotal Al-Qur'an therapy. The aim of the study was to determine whether there was any effect of murottal therapy on the concentration of students at Muara Enim 2 MTsN. This study used a quasi-experimental design with the design of the one group pretest posttest. The sample used was all students of class VIII.G at MTsN 2 Muara Enim. The results showed that the average concentration score of class VIII.G students before Murottal therapy was given was 10.84 with a standard deviation of 3.043. While the average concentration score of class VIII.G students after being given murottal therapy was 17.90 with a standard deviation of 1.233, so that the difference in mean concentration scores before and after murottal therapy was 7.06 with a standard deviation of 1.81. Wilcoxon signed ranks test obtained ρ value = 0,000, with a value of α = 0.05 (p <0.05), this shows that there is a significant difference between the concentration of students before and after being given murottal therapy. It is expected that the school can make a policy about the application of murottal therapy in increasing student concentration.

<p>The advent of technology has improved the way statistics is taught and learned. It is claimed that the use of computer-based instructional tools can actively explore the meaning of statistical concepts among the students, as well as enhance their learning experiences. This study aimed to compare three methods of statistical analysis namely, the traditional technique (use of the calculator), Microsoft Excel and Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. This investigation utilized the experimental design, specifically the One-Group Pretest – Posttest Design. There were six education students who self-assessed their attitude before and after the introduction of the use of various computation techniques and performed the statistical analysis considering also the completion time required for each process. Results of the study revealed an increase in the level of attitude among the respondents form the pretest to the posttest. Also, the cognitive level regardless of the approach was very high. However, the t-test failed to establish a significant difference in the attitude among the respondents. On the other hand, there were significant differences in both the test scores and completion time of the respondents in the three methods in favor of SPSS.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Information technology, statistics, traditional technique, Microsoft excel, SPSS, comparative analysis, experimental research design, Davao City, Philippines. </p>

Nitric oxide (NO) is involved in blood pressure regulation, and its synthesis is inhibited by methylarginines. It has been hypothesized that one of these, asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA), may contribute to dialysis-associated hypertension because it accumulates in the plasma of hemodialysis (HD) patients in a concentration high enough (4 mumol/L) to inhibit NO synthesis in experimental model systems. A precolumn HPLC technique was used to quantify methylarginines (ADMA and symmetrical dimethylarginine [SDMA]) in plasma from HD patients before and after dialysis, from continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients, and from healthy subjects. Plasma ADMA concentrations were 0.59 +/- 0.22 (SD) mumol/L in HD patients predialysis (n = 19) and 0.70 +/- 0.27 mumol/L in CAPD patients (n = 11), versus about half of the concentration in control subjects (0.36 +/- 0.08 mumol/L, n = 7). The concentrations of SDMA (not an inhibitor of NO formation) were approximately four to five times the ADMA concentrations in both HD and CAPD patients, in contrast to a ratio of 1:1 in the control subjects. Methylarginine concentrations were reduced by 23% and 40% postdialysis, as calculated from ADMA and SDMA values, respectively. No significant correlations were observed between ADMA concentrations, on the one had, and blood pressure, creatinine and dialysis dose (Kt/V urea), on the other hand. It is concluded that plasma levels of ADMA are considerably lower than those reported earlier in patients treated with HD and also below the levels that hitherto have been thought to have clinical relevance. The role of ADMA in inhibiting NO in dialysis-associated hypertension is questioned.

Digital storytelling has been around in foreign language contexts for at least two decades and showed to be a promising technique for teaching different language skills. This study aimed at investigating the effect of using two types of digital storytelling, i.e. asynchronous and synchronous digital storytelling, on the EFL learners' speaking performance in terms of accuracy and fluency. To this end, a quasi-experimental design with an experimental and a comparison group was devised. Sixty-five intermediate EFL learners were conveniently selected based on their scores on Oxford Placement Test. The speaking module of Preliminary English Test (PET) was used to measure the participants' speaking accuracy and fluency before and after the intervention. The results of the study indicated that both groups made a significant improvement after the course. Nevertheless, the asynchronous digital storytelling group outperformed the synchronous one after the intervention.
