This study aims to reveal the transformation of offline learn-ing to online learning due to Covid-19 in student perceptions. The massive impact on the education sector requires the provision of education to adapt to situations and conditions. This research was conducted at one of the state universities in Indonesia, with the selection of informants based on the rep-resentation of each department at the university. The method in this re-search uses a narrative approach. The data were collected through interviews that were set up online. The research data was processed based on the results of studies and focus group discussions (FGD) related to the implementation of online learning during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The results showed that the implementation of learning was welcomed by the students, in their per-ception that online learning was considered to be more flexible, efficient and effective in the use of time as well as in terms of costs and energy. It cannot be denied that the implementation of online learning still encounters various obstacles and challenges, including: interaction is not optimal, schedule and lecture estimates change, inadequate facilities, and the use of learning media is not optimal.

AbstractA new radiocarbon preparation facility was set up in 2010 at the Godwin Laboratory for Palaeoclimate Research, at the University of Cambridge. Samples are graphitized via hydrogen reduction on an iron powder catalyst before being sent to the Chrono Centre, Belfast, or the Australian National University for accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) analysis. The experimental setup and procedure have recently been developed to investigate the potential for running small samples of foraminiferal carbonate. By analyzing background values of samples ranging from 0.04 to 0.6 mg C along with similar sized secondary standards, the setup and experimental procedures were optimized for small samples. “Background” modern 14C contamination has been minimized through careful selection of iron powder, and graphitization has been optimized through the use of “small volume” reactors, allowing samples containing as little as 0.08 mg C to be graphitized and accurately dated. Graphitization efficiency/fractionation is found not to be the main limitation on the analysis of samples smaller than 0.07 mg C, which rather depends primarily on AMS ion beam optics, suggesting further improvements in small sample analysis might yet be achieved with our methodology.

The case of Covid-19 affects the world of education. One of the consequences is that learning to be carried out online is decided by the Indonesian government. However, in learning, this strategy is burdensome for learners. The goal of this case study is to find out student opinions on online applications are used, what their challenges are, and what online learning expectations of students are. This research uses a questionnaire to find out student opinions using a Google form. Ninety-two students from various universities were the number of respondents. To get results, the questionnaires that have been collected are evaluated manually. The outcome of this study is that most of the software used by lecturers was unable to enhance the comprehension of the content being learned by students. During this pandemic, the hope of students in learning is to increase discussion time and time to complete assignments, not too many assignments, and the strategy of the university to have internet quota buying subsidies

The purpose of community service carried out by the Pamulang University lecturer Team is to provide discussion assistance in answering questions about scholastic potential test to class XII high school students in preparing themselves to take part in the joint selection of state universities (SBMPTN) 2020. Partners in this community service are tutoring and private matrices in Pamulang, South Tangerang, Banten. The subject of community service is students in the public high school class XII who wish to enter state higher education through the SBMPTN 2020 test. The main problem faced by partners is that up to now Bimbel learning media has always been face to face and have never done online learning media, this because technologically Bimbel and private matrix not yet support in providing these services. The solution offered is to do online learning by online meeting application. The direct benefit of this dedication activity is an additional knowledge, skills in solving potential scholastic questions so that students can prepare for the joint selection of 2020 state universities with the method of solving problems quickly and easily. The derivate benefits are expected to be able to make students pass the SBMPTN 2020. This community service activity is carried out in the form of training by providing material and practice of completing the 2020 SBMPTN exam questions. The training is held for two weeks, namely in Monday to Friday, 11 -15  May 2020, and 18-22 May 2020. The method of activities used are practices, questions and answers and discussions. The analysis technique is done by observing aspects of student’s cognition and skills in conquering the subject matter.

The rehabilitation of existing timber floors in seismic area should take into account the possibility to use both traditional and more modern materials and techniques. An extensive experimental program carried out at the University of Padova concerned full-scale wooden floors segments strengthened through the application of several solutions, belonging to the following three main categories: planks overlapping, diagonals, and nets.In detail, the following techniques were considered: single and double planking with an orientation of ±45° having different thicknesses; steel, CFRP, SRP or wooden diagonals; natural fibre (hemp) composites applied as nets with resin or vinyl glue; wooden nets applied with hardwood pins and screws.The study is aimed at characterizing the behaviour of strengthened floors for the selection of the most suitable solutions applicable in existing buildings, which are able to provide a proper in-plane stiffness for seismic load distribution among bearing walls. The test set-up was designed and realized on purpose to simulate the in-plane shear behaviour of timber floors. The experimental results and the comparison between unreinforced and strengthened floors under monotonic shear load are presented in the paper.

SummaryThe anti-aggregating activity of five rising doses of clopidogrel has been compared to that of ticlopidine in atherosclerotic patients. The aim of this study was to determine the dose of clopidogrel which should be tested in a large scale clinical trial of secondary prevention of ischemic events in patients suffering from vascular manifestations of atherosclerosis [CAPRIE (Clopidogrel vs Aspirin in Patients at Risk of Ischemic Events) trial]. A multicenter study involving 9 haematological laboratories and 29 clinical centers was set up. One hundred and fifty ambulatory patients were randomized into one of the seven following groups: clopidogrel at doses of 10, 25, 50,75 or 100 mg OD, ticlopidine 250 mg BID or placebo. ADP and collagen-induced platelet aggregation tests were performed before starting treatment and after 7 and 28 days. Bleeding time was performed on days 0 and 28. Patients were seen on days 0, 7 and 28 to check the clinical and biological tolerability of the treatment. Clopidogrel exerted a dose-related inhibition of ADP-induced platelet aggregation and bleeding time prolongation. In the presence of ADP (5 \lM) this inhibition ranged between 29% and 44% in comparison to pretreatment values. The bleeding times were prolonged by 1.5 to 1.7 times. These effects were non significantly different from those produced by ticlopidine. The clinical tolerability was good or fair in 97.5% of the patients. No haematological adverse events were recorded. These results allowed the selection of 75 mg once a day to evaluate and compare the antithrombotic activity of clopidogrel to that of aspirin in the CAPRIE trial.

The purpose of this article is to examine online learning at the macro level in terms of its impact on American K-12 and higher education. The authors draw on six years of data that they have collected through national studies of online learning in American education as well as related research to do a critical and balanced analysis of the evolution of online learning in the United States and to speculate where it is going. Their collection of data represents some of the most extensive research examining online learning in the totality of K-20 education. Issues related to the growth of online learning, institutional mission, student access, faculty acceptance, instructional quality, and student satisfaction are explored. Of particular importance is an attempt to determine if online learning is in fact transforming American education in its essence and to speculate on the future.
