Formalin embalming method is cheaper and commonly used. Thiel method is said to be complex, expensive, not commonly used but offers better cadavers for student teaching. The study aimed at exploring the effects of two embalming methods; modified Thiel and formalin methods on cadavers in terms of muscle softness, joint flexibility, tissue colour, formalin smell and the ease with which structures can be identified. This was an experimental study design done over the period of three months where four adult male cadavers were embalmed (two under each method) and the outcome was compared. Using gravity about Ten Litres of arterial and five Litres venous Thiel fluids was slowly infused into each Thiel cadaver through the carotid artery and femoral vein respectively and cadavers remained overnight. Thiel cadavers were submerged in the tank containing about 300L of Thiel fluid, covered with a blanket and left for eight weeks. Each formalin cadaver was infused with about 15Litres of 10% formalin using the carotid artery and then wrapped in transparent plastics. Thereafter, cadavers were codified and placed in different rooms where participants examined and dissected some regions starting with Thiel cadavers and crossing over to the formalin cadavers after twenty-four hours. Thiel cadavers were softer than formalin (mean = 4.89 ± 0.53 Thiel and 2.1 ± 1.26 for formalin). For joint flexibility, at least 75% of participants strongly agreed for Thiel and at least 75% of the participants strongly disagreed for formalin (mean = 4.81 ± 0.86 Thiel and 1.71 ± 1.13 formalin). Tissue colour was closer to natural in Thiel compared to the formalin cadavers (mean = 4.82 ± 0.55 Thiel and 1.77 ± 1.07 formalin). There were no complaints due to irritant formalin smell in Thiel cadavers as opposed to the formalin ones (mean = 1.15 ± 0.55 Thiel and 4.56 ± 1.15 formalin). At least 75% agreed that it was easy to identify structures in the Thiel cadavers than formalin (mean = 4.67 ± 0.61 and 2.61 ± 1.14 formalin). Thiel embalming method offers good quality cadavers that are soft, flexible; tissue colour closer to natural state and without is strong formalin smell and structures can easily be identified. Key words: Cadaveric embalming, modified Thiel, formalin methods

Abstract: Disaster Preparedness, Disaster Preparedness Indoor Simulation, Volunteer Corps (KSR). The entire people of Indonesia are expected to prepare for disasters. This is done because Indonesia is a country with a fairly high vulnerability to disasters. All elements of society is obliged to make successful of disaster preparedness program. In terms of disaster preparedness, society was divided into groups of masyarakat terlatih, awam khusus and awam. Surakarta Health Polytechnic has been successfully empower youth element as health volunteers through disaster preparedness training activities incorporated in the activities of KSR Unit Jurusan Keperawatan Poltekkes Kemenkes Surakarta. The activities carried out periodically and continuously in the implementation of the program, including disaster preparedness. Purpose to evaluate the increase in disaster preparedness through disaster preparedness indoor simulation method at KSR Unit Jurusan Keperawatan Poltekkes Kemenkes Surakarta. The study was comparative experimental study design with one group pretest-posttest with cross sectional approach. The population in this study were all members of KSR Unit Jurusan Keperawatan Poltekkes Kemenkes Surakarta (150 people). The average increase in value between pretest and posttest is 1.31. T test results that the value t = 17.480 > t table (0.05, df 14) = 1,761 with a 95% confidence level showed α = 0.00 <0.05. There was a significant increase in disaster preparedness through disaster preparedness indoor simulation method in KSR Unit Jurusan Keperawatan Poltekkes Kemenkes Surakarta.

This study aims to know the effect of cooperative method and self-efficacy toward writing narrative ability. The method used was experimental study design using treatment by level 2x2 with analysis testing ANAVA. The results showed that:(1) the ability to write a narrative that students learn the concept sentence method is higher than narrative writing skills of students who are learning to use a make a match method, (2) there is an interaction effect between cooperative method and self-efficacy toward writing narrative ability, (3) the ability to write a narrative that students learn the of concept sentence is higher than the group of students who learn the make a match for students who have high selfefficacy, (4) the ability to write a narrative that students learn the make a match is higher than the group of students who learn the concept sentence for students who have low self-efficacy. Based on the results of this study it was concluded that the cooperative method and self-efficacy influence the students’ writing ability. Recommendation for teachers is to apply the concept sentence as a way to improve students’ writing narrative abilities.
