Hepatitis B disease can attack all age level, including pregnant women. If the fetus is infected with the hepatitis B virus, it can cause premature babies, low birth weight babies, anatomical and baby body functions abnormalities. One of the factors causing the high incidence of hepatitis B is the lack of knowledge and public awareness of the disease. Animated video is one of the media that can be used to increase knowledge to the public about hepatitis B and has many advantages compared to other media. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of "VISIP - HB" on knowledge and attitudes changes of prevention of Hepatitis B in pre-conception women. This study used a quasi-experimental research design with a sample of 50 pre-conception women. Bivariate analysis test used independent t-test. The results showed that there was a difference in the knowledge of pre-conception women about preventing hepatitis B in pregnancy in the control group and the treatment group with a p value of 0.000. There were differences in the attitudes of pre-conception women about preventing hepatitis B during pregnancy in the control group and the treatment group with a p value of 0.000. There is an effect of "VISIP - HB" on changes in knowledge and attitudes of pre-conception women in preventing hepatitis B during pregnancy.  Keywords: knowledge; attitude; videos; pre-conception woman

SUMMARYFifty-six Merino d'Aries and 56 Romanov × Merino crossbred lactating ewes were divided into two treatment groups, one (T1) with a ewe-to-ram ratio of 48: 1 (24 Merino and 24 crossbred) and the other (T2) of 64: 1 (32 Merino and 32 crossbred).Intravaginal sponges with 40 mg FGA (Searle) were inserted in two subgroups at 8-day intervals and withdrawn after 12 and 16 days in situ, in four equal groups at 4-day intervals. A dose of 400 IU pregnant mare's serum gonadotrophin (PMSG) was applied at sponge withdrawal.Fertility after two oestrous cycles was equally satisfactory in both treatments, though it was lower in treatment group T2. This could be due to the significantly low (P<0·01) number of Merino ewes raddled by the T2 ram (0·33 Merino against 0·92 crossbred) suggesting preferential behaviour by the ram in this treatment.Comparisons between breeds show a slight superiority in the fertility of crossbred ewes and a highly significant superiority in prolificacy These results suggest that using the described method, 2% of rams seems more than adequate to mate with progestagen-synchronized ewes with a satisfactory fertility level. It is, however, recommended to use homogeneous groups of ewes.

This study investigated 3 strategies for performing operations on rational numbers in ninth-grade general mathematics. Performed at 2 Minneapolis area schools using samples of 48 and 53 students, operations on rational numbers were taught by (a) the conventional algorithmic approach, (b) the conventional algorithmic approach with calculators, and (c) an alternative algorithm approach through which students changed each fractional operand to a decimal on the calculator. The major variable examined was achievement (transfer of skill to seminovel situations and retention), and another variable considered was attitude. The results showed that the third treatment group performed significantly better (p <.01p<.01) than the other 2 treatment groups and retained that skill to a significantly greater extent (p<.01p<.01) after 2 weeks studying neutral material. The third treatment group also performed better on ordering rational numbers, estimating fractional values, and working with rational numbers involving more than 1 operand or more than 2 operations than the other 2 groups. No differences in attitude were found.

Attitudinal Changes

AbstractThis article investigates the changes that civic education programmes produce in their participants, and offers an integrated view of the determinants as well as the resulting effect patterns. The main conclusions are: 1) values are more resistant to change than motivation, political knowledge, and attitudes towards political institutions; 2) cognitive gains and attitudinal changes are more likely to occur (and with greater intensity) when the object belongs to the programme’s environment; 3) the effects on political participation do not occur in the present, but the data indicates a tendency towards greater participation later in adult life; 4) the programme’s quality and the participant’s motivation stand out because, usually, they affect the influence of other factors. The object of this study is the Mineiro Youth Parliament in its 2008 edition. The research design follows the logic of quasi-experimental research [Campbell, D. and J. Stanley (1979)

Background: Pneumonia is an infectious disease with highest morbidity and mortality in the world. The research objectives is to determine the effect of Nigella sativa cement extract in procalcitonin, TNF-α levels, and clinical improvement in pneumonia patients. Methods: This study is a clinical trial quasi experimental design with pre and post test approach in the treatment group and the comparison group. Samples were taken by consecutive sampling between April and May 2016 a total of 30 patients were divided into 2 groups:the treatment group and the comparison group. The treatment group was given additional therapy capsules Nigella sativa cement extract, the comparison group was given the standard therapy. Procalcitonin levels and TNF-α is checked when the patient was admitted and when clinical improvement is achieved. Results: Decreased levels of procalcitonin in the treatment group (8.969±13.591 ng/dl) and a comparison group (1.907±6293 ng/dl) was statistically significant (p= 0.014; 95 % CI= 0.222-1.770). Decreased levels of TNF-α was not significantly different between treatment groups (58.759(1.840-166.50) pg/dl) and a comparison group (57.485 (35.410-81.650) pg/dl), with p= 0.395. The achievement of clinical improvement in the treatment group 4.60±8.28 days and the comparison group 5.53 ±1.45 today, statistically no difference between the two groups. Conclusion: Capsule Nigella sativa cement extract provides benefit for declining levels of procalcitonin and accelerate achievement of clinically stable in pneumonia patients.

One of the biggest problems related to the application of analogies in teaching and learning relates to the possibility of misunderstanding the content of learn?ing, which in such cases is caused by unjustified analogical transfer. The paper presents the results of research on unjustified analogical transfer in the application of analogies in situations that are typical for learning in an academic context. The aim of the research was to examine the extent to which the tendency towards unjustified analogical transfer was expressed in the learning with the application of analogy. A quasi-experimental research with elements of a field experiment was realised on a sample of 140 students. Respondents read two texts. In one, a fictional animal was compared to a known animal, and in the other, a fictional game was compared to a known game. The experimental factor was an explicit indication of the differences between the compared objects. Knowledge tests measured how much the respondents remembered about the characteristics by which the compared objects were similar, i.e. not similar. By analysing the responses from the tests, we registered the presence of unjustified analogue transfer. The results show that the propensity for unjustified analogical transfer is present to a significant extent. This tendency can be reduced if, in addition to the similarities on which the analogy is based, there are also differences between the objects that are compared in the analogy, but even then it will not be completely eliminated. The basic pedagogical implications that follow from the obtained results are the need to strengthen the awareness of teachers and textbook authors about the potential danger of unjustified analogical transfer and the recommendation to point out to students the differences between the base and target domain. This significantly reduces this danger.

The objective of this experiment was to investigate the effect of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and cellulase (CE) on the fermentation quality, rumen degradation rate and bacterial community of mixed silage of soybean residue (SR) and corn stover (CS). The experiment adopted a single-factor experimental design. Four treatment groups were set up: the control group (CON), lactic acid bacteria treatment group (LAB), cellulase treatment group (CE) and lactic acid bacteria + cellulase treatment group (LAB + CE). Among them, the amount of added LAB was 1 × 106 CFU/g, and the amount of added CE was 100 U/g. After 56 days of mixed silage, samples were taken and analyzed, and the chemical composition, fermentation quality, rumen degradation rate and microbial diversity were determined. The results showed that the pH of each treatment group was significantly (p < 0.05) lower than that of CON, while the lactic acid and ammoniacal nitrogen contents of each treatment group were significantly higher than that of CON, with the highest contents in the LAB + CE group. The contents of DNFom (Ash-free NDF), ADFom (Ash-free ADF) and DM in the LAB + CE group were significantly lower than those in the CON group, while the content of crude protein (CP) was significantly higher than that in the CON group. The in situ effective degradation rates of DM (ISDMD), DNF (ISNDFD) and CP (ISCPD) were all significantly (p < 0.05) higher in each treatment group than in the control group. The results of principal component analysis showed that the bacterial composition of the LAB, CE and LAB + CE groups was significantly different from that of the CON group (p < 0.05). Bacterial genus level analysis showed that the content of lactic acid bacteria was significantly higher in the LAB + CE group than in the other treatment groups (p < 0.05), while the content of undesirable bacteria was significantly lower than in the other treatment groups. The results showed that the addition of Lactobacillus and/or cellulase in mixed silage of SR and CS could effectively improve the quality of mixed silage fermentation, rumen degradation rate and microbial diversity, with better results when Lactobacillus and cellulase were added together, which provides new ideas for better application of SR and CS in dairy production.
