The present studies were focused on the formation and characterization of sterically stabilized archaeosomes made from a synthetic PEGylated archaeal lipid. In a first step, a synthetic archaeal tetraether bipolar lipid was functionalized with a poly(ethylene glycol), PEG, and (PEG45-Tetraether) with the aim of coating the archaeosome surface with a sterically stabilizing hydrophilic polymer. In a second step, Egg-PC/PEG45-Tetraether (90/10 wt%) archaeosomes were prepared, and their physicochemical characteristics were determined by dynamic light scattering (size, polydispersity), cryo-TEM (morphology), and by high-performance thin layer chromatography (lipid composition), in comparison with standard Egg-PC/PEG45-DSPE formulations. Further, a fluorescent dye, the carboxyfluorescein, was encapsulated into the prepared archaeosomes in order to evaluate the potential of such nanostructures as drug carriers. Release studies have shown that the stability of Egg-PC/PEG45-Tetraether-based archaeosomes is significantly higher at 37∘C than the one of Egg-PC/PEG45-DSPE-based liposomes, as evidenced by the slower release of the dye encapsulated into PEGylated archaeosomes. This enhanced stability could be related to the membrane spanning properties of the archaeal bipolar lipid as already described with natural or synthetic tetraether lipids.

In learning, students often face social problems and the teacher does not try to solve the problems through the implementation of learning approach. Therefore, a learning approach that is able to develop social relationship needs to be created to make the learning more enjoyable. Learning in the setting of “teacher directed” or the one which combines the learning environment called “self-directed”. Thus, inquiry model which specifically used in this research called social inquiry is expected to be able to make the teacher know the learning problem in Civics subject and then take steps to solve it. Based on the result of the research, it was known that there was an improvement in terms of quality in the activities and learning outcomes on the fifth grade students at SDN Karangsemanding 02 Balung district, Jember regency in 2018/2019 academic year.

<p>In order to recruit and train students to participate in Olympiads of Informatics (OI), the Olympic Programming Project group of IFPB Campina Grande Campus (POP-CG) has started to perform OI simulations. For this purpose, an online judge was used to create programming competitions, ForCode (https://github.com/ LADOSSIFPB/POP-Judge). Mining students’ performance data (number of submissions and hits, programming language used) from the code repository generated by ForCode may reveal what programming skills should be improved. Associating this information with holistic data about students (eg.: schooling, socioeconomic status, and so on) may indicate which factors impact (positively or negatively) on the performance of these students. In this article, we joined performance data of 47 students participating in the OI simulation, conducted in November 2015, to holistic data collected from the IFPB academic management system: the year of schooling. Then, we evaluated statistically the relation between the performance’s simulated OI with year of schooling. The results point out that, regardless of programming language used, the “trial and error” learning strategy is the one that prevails among the students with the best performance. When considering schooling, the average score of the students in the 2nd year is 15% higher than the average of the students in the 1st year, while the average score of the students in the 4th year is 78% higher than those of the students of the 2nd year 105% higher than those obtained in the 1st year</p>
