Current issues of standardization of requirements for the development and issuing of printed teaching aids

Reforming the national education system, implementation of the Concept of State Educational Policy "New Ukrainian School" put forward the task to create a developmental educational space that will suitable for the formation and growth of a personality. The developmental content environment is one of the key components of an innovative educational space. It is created through the development and implementation of state-of-the-art learning tools and equipment, in particular printed auxiliary facilities of studies. Such as students’ albums and drawing-books, sets of paper and cardboard are a material basis for the tasks of the curriculum for drawing, drafting, appliqués, art work, etc. There are no modern standard approaches to their creation. Therefore, there is a need to identify technical and pedagogical requirements for these learning tools and further to consolidate them in the national standard of Ukraine. The study of educational products samples, the directions of scientific search were determined on the basis of the analysis of specialized scientific and methodological literature, normative documents of national standardization and in the field of education. As a result, the types of student albums and drawing-books, paper and cardboard sets that will become the subject of standardization are outlined. They are defined at the level of terms and definitions. Regulatory dimensions and volumes for each of these types of facilities were specified. Characteristics of the first and foremost technical and pedagogical requirements to them were produced, namely: quality of the materials for making albums, drawings-books, sets according to the educational purpose of products, standards of color standardization, design and configuration products, ways to fasten sheets in blocks, requirements for the artistic and textual design of covers and folders. The results, which were obtained, will form the basis for further applied research of the development and approval of the national standard of Ukraine – “Facilities of studies. Student's albums and drawing books. Student's sets of paper and cardboard. General specifications”. The practical significance of this regulatory document will also be a determination of the mandatory requirements for the labeling, packaging, storage, transportation of ready products, as well as the requirements of safety, environmental protection at the enterprises of the printing industry.

Short Communication: Genetic variability of local corn cultivars from Kisar Island, Maluku, Indonesia based on morphological characters

Sinay H, Karuwal RL. 2018. Short Communication: Genetic variability of local corn cultivars from Kisar Island, Maluku, Indonesia based on morphological characters. Biodiversitas 19: 2302-2307. The purpose of this research is to know the relationship of local corn cultivars derived from Kisar Island based on the morphological characterization. The research was conducted in Kisar Island, Southwest Maluku District, Maluku Province, Indonesia. The morphological characterization was performed on 5 stem characters, 14 leaf characters, 15 male flower characters, 2 female flower characters, 12 cob characters, and 12 seed characters. The description was conducted using the corn descriptor guide by CIMMYT, IBPGR, UPOV, and Departemen Pertanian Republik Indonesia. Color standardization was conducted following standard color charts from the Royal Horticultural Society Color Chart. The data was described and scored based on the appearance of each plant organ observed in the field relative to the descriptor guide. The scoring results were then standardized into 0/1 binary data, which were then analyzed by NTSYS program used for dendrogram construction. Cluster analysis shows that there are two main groups of corn cultivars. The first group consists of merah delima tongkol cokelat, merah darah, putih, kuning genjah, and merah delima tongkol putih. The second group consists of kuning dalam and pulut cultivars.

PENGEMBANGAN STANDARISASI PEWARNA ALAMI BATIK DARI KULIT KAYU SECANG (Caesalpinia sappan L.) DENGAN TEKNIK SPEKTROSKOPI

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah diperoleh suatu metode standarisasi warna yaitu penilaian secara konsisten terhadap warna yang dibentuk oleh pewarna alami secang, sehingga dapat dijadikan acuan warna zat pewarna alami batik yang dibuat. Tahapan standarisasi pewarna alami dimulai dengan pemeriksaan taksonomi/determinasi, preparasi pewarna secang dengan cara ekstraksi, proses standarisasi yang meliputi proses standarisasi pewarna alami dan pembuatan standar pewarna sintetis sebagai pembanding, penetapan standar warna, aplikasi zat warna terstandar pada proses pembatikan meliputi pembuatan pola batik dan pembatikan dengan lilin/malam dan proses pewarnaan batik dengan pewarna secang. Analisis data dilakukan secara kualitatif dan kuantitatif terhadap data absorbansi dan panjang gelombang yang diperoleh dari warna merah yang dibentuk oleh pewarna secang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa panjang gelombang serapan maksimum standar warna merah diperoleh pada 450,20 nm. Panjang gelombang inilah yang digunakan sebagai standar pengukuran warna merah secang yang diterapkan.(THE DEVELOPMENT OF STANDARDIZATION NATURAL COLOUR FROM BATIK OF STEAM BARK (Caesalpinia sappan L) BY SPECTROSCOPHY METHOD)The purpose of this research is to obtain a method of color standardization which is a consistent assessment of the color formed by secang natural dye, so it can be used as a reference color of natural dyes of batik.Standardization steps of natural dyes included taxonomic examination, preparation of secang dye by extraction, standardization process by spectroscopic measurement, with “rapid” dye as standard, application on batik process including batik pattern making and wax application on batik and batik coloring process with secang dye. Data was analized by absorbance vs wavelength obtained from red color formed by secang dye. The results showed that the maximum absorption wavelength of the standard red color was obtained at 450.20 nm. This value is used as the standard red color measurement
