Abstract: The Effect Of Lime (C10H16O) And Camphor (C10H16O) Against The Density Of Flies On Organic Waste. Fly is a disease-carrying vector so it is important to measure the density for control purposes. One of the controls that is done is on organic waste which is a breading source place of flies. Control is done by affixing the mixture of lime and camphor. This research aimed to determine the effect of mixture of lime and camphor against the density of flies in organic waste that is carried out in the garbage construction site while Southern Loktabat. This type of research is quasi-experimental that experimenting the provision of nine variations of dosage mixture of lime and camphor against the density of flies in organic waste with the organic waste sample was about 0,16m3. This research design used Pretest-posttest design. The analysis using statistical paired sample t-test, Kruskal Wallis test, and Least Significant Differences Test. The measurements showed a decrease in the density of the flies after administration of the lime and camphor mixture. Paired T-test results showed that in each treatment the p-value (2-tailed) <α (0.05) means that there is significant difference of flies density before and after treatment. Kruskal Wallis test result showed the p value (0,000) <α (0.05) which means there are significant differences between dosages. LSD test result showed that the most effective dosage is sixth dosage (35gr camphor+ 55gr lime/0,16m3 waste).

This research is a type of pre-experimental research conducted with the design of one group pretest posttest. The population in this study was all students in grade IV MI Ma'arif NU 02 Tamansari. Data collection techniques used in the form of observation, interviews, tests, and documentation. Test instruments use a type of short fill test that has been through the analysis of validity and reliability. Data analysis techniques use prerequisite test analysis in the form of normality and homogeneity test, and hypothesis test using statistical test paired sample t test. The results showed that the mind map method affects the memory of learners. This was demonstrated by Sig. (2-tailed) t test result with a significance of 0.000 less than 0.05. So, Ha was accepted and H0 was rejected, meaning that the mind map method affects the memory of the learners.

The result showed that the mean score of post-test was higher than pre-test. Then, the writer calculated t-test to know whether or not there was significant difference students’ achievement between them who were taught before using homophone stories and students who were taught after using homophone stories. The result showed that t-test was higher than t-table. It was 9.19> 1.697. It means that there is significant difference between the students’ vocabulary mastery after being taught by using homophone stories and before being taught by using homophone stories. From the data above, it can be concluded that the students’ vocabulary mastery after being taught by using homophone stories was higher than the students’ vocabulary mastery before being taught by using homophone stories.

Abstract Aim The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of student-led holistic undergraduate surgical conferences in increasing exposure to surgery amidst a decline in the surgical curriculum. Method This study was carried during the National Surgical Society Congress between (18-19th January 2020). Questionnaires collecting qualitative and quantitative feedback were distributed to 85 students before and after the conference with the option of an opt-out email. A paired t-test was used to measure pre- and post-conference responses quantitatively with p &lt; 0.05 being considered statistically significant. Results 85 students attended the conference; 55 (65%) filled out both questionnaires, 50.9% were in pre-clinical years, 46.6% were in clinical years and 5.5% were intercalating. The conference demonstrated a significant increase in both knowledge and confidence across the lectures and workshops respectively. In addition to this, the creative exhibition was rated as 4.03± 0.78 out of 5 and there was also a statistically significant increase (p = 0.83) in interest in entrepreneurship after the hackathon (2.33 → 3.16). Students did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference in likelihood of pursuing a career in surgery pre- and post-conference but reported a significant increase in confidence with the surgical training pathways and opportunities. Conclusions Our study demonstrates significant learning potential of undergraduate surgical conferences. Overall, the purpose of the conference in fostering a holistic approach to surgery was achieved, empowering students with transferable knowledge and surgical skills and giving them confidence in understanding how to pursue a career in surgery.
