Akhir- akhir ini penyakit MERS banyak menyerang negara-negara di dunia. salah satu Negara yang sedang sangat rawan akan penyakit Mers adalah Korea Selatan. lalu sebenarnya apakah MERS itu??

Beberapa waktu lalu, kawasan Timur Tengah menggegerkan dunia dengan munculnya penyakit akibat virus yang mengakibatkan ratusan orang meninggal dunia. Penyakit itu adalah MERS-CoV. Lalu apakah itu MERS-CoV?

 

Menurut Kementerian Kesehatan RI, MERS merupakan suatu penyakit yang disebabkan oleh corona virus yang disebut dengan Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV). Virus ini sangat berbeda dengan corona virus lain yang sudah banyak ditemukan. Virus ini mirip dengan corona virus yang ada pada kelelawar. Dan penularan terjadi dari hewan (onta) secara ilmiah belum terbukti diyakini menular human to human melalui titik liur (droplet) yang dihirup oleh orang lain.

 

Virus ini sama seperti virus yang menyerang pernafasan lainnya. Virus corona sangat mudah menyebar melalui udara. Anda pun dapat mendeteksi dini apakah Anda terserang virus MERS-CoV atau tidak dengan beberapa gejala, seperti panas, gejala respirasi atau pernafasan batuk, sesak dengan atau tanpa nyeri dada, Penurunan fungsi ginjal, Baru pulang dari daerah yang banyak kasus MERS-CoV, Bersentuhan atau berdekatan atau merawat dengan orang lain yang memenuhi kriteria suspek MERS-CoV.

---

Orang-orang yang mudah terinfeksi virus mematikan ini adalah mereka yang kekebalan tubuhnya rendah, seperti orang yang sedang sakit, lansia, anak kecil, orang yang sedang kelelahan, dalam perjalanan, dan makan tidak teratur.

 

Oleh sebab itu, untuk lansia diatas usia 65 tahun, anak-anak dibawah usia 12 tahun, dan Anda yang memiliki riwayat penyakit paru berat dan atau penyakit lain nya misalnya Diabetes, penyakit jantung, kanker dan penyakit sistem kekebalan tubuh disarankan untuk tidak melakukan perjalanan ibadah umrah atau haji.

 

Karena MERS-CoV terbilang sebagai penyakit baru, jadi hingga saat ini memang belum ada vaksin khusus untuk mencegah penyakit ini. Meski begitu, Anda tetap dapat melakukan pencegahan dengan memperkuat imunitas tubuh Anda.

 

Anda dapat mengonsumsi vitamin agar tubuh tetap fit selama menjalani ibadah haji. Selain itu Anda juga dapat menjaga kebugaran tubuh dengan asupan nutrisi dan istirahat yang cukup. Tak lupa, selama naik haji selalu menggunakan masker dan masker yang digunakan adalah masker N95 yang memenuhi standar dan rajin-rajin untuk mencuci tangan.

---

Tak hanya itu, Anda juga dihimbau untuk menghindari menyentuh mata, hidung dan mulut dengan tangan yang belum dibersihkan. Penting juga untuk menghindari kontak secara dekat dengan orang yang sedang menderita sakit saat melakukan perjalanan atau berada di kawasan Timur Tengah.

 

Selain itu, peran aktif masyarakat untuk melaporkan atau membawa pasien dengan kriteria seperti di atas termasuk para dokter yang bekerja pada layanan primer harus cepat tanggap terhadap kasus suspek MERS-CoV.

 

MERS-CoV pertama kali ditemukan di Negara Arab Saudi pada tahun 2012. Oleh sebab itu, masyarakat Indonesia dihimbau untuk berhati-hati saat akan atau baru saja ke kawasan Timur Tengah, karena virus ini dapat menyebabkan kematian.

Tugas 2 - Relative Pronouns

Relative Pronouns

A relative pronoun is a pronoun that introduces a relative clause. It is called a "relative" pronoun because it "relates" to the word that its relative clause modifies. Here is an example:

• The person who phoned me last night is my teacher.

In the above example, "who":

• relates to "The person", which "who phoned me last night" modifies
• introduces the relative clause "who phoned me last night"

There are five relative pronouns: who, whom, whose, which, that*

Who (subject) and whom (object) are generally only for people. Whose is for possession. Which is for things. That can be used for things and people only in defining relative clauses (clauses that are essential to the sentence and do not simply add extra information).**

Relative pronouns can refer to singular or plural, and there is no difference between male and female.

Look at these examples showing defining and non-defining relative clauses:

	example sentences S=subject, O=object, P=possessive		notes
defining relative clauses	S	- The person who phoned me last night is my teacher. - The person that phoned me last night is my teacher.	"that" is preferable
		- The car which hit me was yellow. - The car that hit me was yellow.	"that" is preferable
	O	- The person whom I phoned last night is my teacher. - The people who I phoned last night are my teachers. - The person that I phoned last night is my teacher. - The person I phoned last night is my teacher.	"whom" is correct but formal relative pronoun is optional
		- The car which I drive is old. - The car that I drive is old. - The car I drive is old.	"that" is preferable to "which" relative pronoun is optional
	P	- The student whose phone just rang should stand up. - Students whose parents are wealthy pay extra.
		- The police are looking for the car whose driver was masked. - The police are looking for the car of which the driver was masked.	"whose" can be used with things "of which" is also possible
non-defining relative clauses	S	- Mrs Pratt, who is very kind, is my teacher.
		- The car, which was a taxi, exploded. - The cars, which were taxis, exploded.
	O	- Mrs Pratt, whom I like very much, is my teacher. - Mrs Pratt, who I like very much, is my teacher.	"whom" is correct but formal "who" is common in spoken English and informal written English
		- The car, which I was driving at the time, suddenly caught fire.
	P	- My brother, whose phone you just heard, is a doctor.
		- The car, whose driver jumped out just before the accident, was completely destroyed. - The car, the driver of whichjumped out just before the accident, was completely destroyed.	"whose" can be used with things "of which" is also possible

*Not all grammar sources count "that" as a relative pronoun.
**Some people claim that we should not use "that" for people but must use "who/whom". There is no good reason for such a claim; there is a long history of "that" for people in defining relative clauses from Chaucer, Shakespeare and the Authorized Version of The Bible to Fowler's and Churchill.

From i was in elementary school, i really like drawing. i'm not a pro-drawer but i like drawing and i think im not that kind of bad in drawing. when i have to choose which major should i entered, i wanna took DKV major, but my parents didnt like it, so i must listen to my parents and i choose economic major but it didn't made me leaving my hobby. so, now i wanna share the advantages of drawing.

                       The Effects of Drawing on your Brain

Human beings are creative machines. Creation is an ongoing process that defines us both biologically and psychologically. Our brain has built in tools that allow each of us to adapt, alter, and control our environments in a way that secures the perception of survival. Unfortunately, our society has given a very confining definition to what constitutes an act of 'creation.

This brief post is going to try and offer you some food for thought.

As you read, it is vital to remember that your brain LIKES to create. It is in your DNA, it is in your cells, it is in your sub-atomic structure. YOU are a creative being.

Now, here is a question: Do you like to draw?

I didn't ask if you were an artist, if you were any good at it, or if you could draw a straight line. I just asked if you liked to draw?

Why?

The act of drawing effects your brain in a way like nothing can. Check out the benefits that drawing has on your brain.

1. Improves hand-eye coordination
2. It can actually add synapses to your neurotransmitters  This means that memories and experiences stored in your brain can become stronger, more vivid, and easier to access.
3. Drawing helps your access the right side of your brain. Most people wind up as 80% analytical left brained problem solvers. More right brained activity allows for greater creative problem solving.
4. Intuition increases.
5. Produces positive brain chemistry like Serotonin, Endorphins, Dopamine, and Norepinephrine.
6. Your brain stem can actually get thicker.
7. Your awareness of your surroundings can get sharper.
8. Your memory can improve.
9. It produces an overall state of alertness that all of your other brain functions can use for improvement.

Why?
Brains are mysterious. These results are studied all over the world. But I submit that 'drawing' is the purest form of creation that can produce deliberately. We are literally taking our brain's machine and creating something 'outside' of ourselves as an interpretation of something inside of ourselves.

Drawing effects the brain in a way that music, reading, sports, singing, or nearly any other activity can induce.

So, what constitutes drawing?
...anything your hand puts on a surface for the simple reason of 'just because'.'
doodles, sketches, creative dabbling, you name it.

It does NOT have to be art, it does not have to look like something, it has no rules, it has no evaluative property, it is just whatever creative little thing you just made.

Our society tries to shout down our right brains by the time we are 8 years old. That does NOT change the nature of what the brain IS.

I know drawing scares people, but that's not your fault. If you are overweight, does that mean you should NEVER work out? If you play an instrument, did you have any expectation that you were going to be proficient without a lot of practice?

Don't apply rules of perfection to drawing that you do not apply to anything else. That is the lies and fears of bad programming passed on to you from an inherent fear of 'creativity.'

Cause Connectors - Showing cause and effect:

Sentence connectors are words and phrases that connect sentences to help with understanding. Sentence connectors are also known as linking language. This linking language can be used to order what you have to say, show opposition, provide clarification and so on. In many grammar books, you will find information about sentence connectors when reading about subordinating conjunctions, coordinating conjunctions and so on.

Once you have mastered the basics of correct usage in written English, you will want to express yourself in increasingly complex ways. One of the best ways to improve your writing style is to use sentence connectors. Sentence connectors are used to express relationships between ideas and to combine sentences. The use of these connectors will add sophistication to your writing style.

Type of Connector	Connector(s)	Examples
Coordinating conjunctions	for (cause), so (effect)	Professionals can sometimes be extremely impatient, for their positions are at times rather stressful.
Subordinating conjunctions	because, since	Since high level positions are at times rather stressful, professionals can sometimes be extremely impatient.
Conjunctive adverbs	therefore, as a result, consequently	High level positions are at times rather stressful; therefore, professionals can sometimes be extremely impatient.
Prepositions	because of, due to, as a result of	Due to the stressful nature of high level positions, professionals can sometimes be extremely impatient.

 Comparisons

The Degrees of Comparison in English grammar are made with the Adjective and Adverb words to show how big or small, high or low, more or less, many or few, etc., of the qualities, numbers and positions of the nouns (persons, things and places) in comparison to the others mentioned in the other part of a sentence or expression.

Kinds of comparison:

1. POSITIVE DEGREE: Tom is tall a boy.

In this sentence the word ‘tall’ is an adjective telling us how Tom is.  There is no other person or thing in this sentence used to compare Tom with, but it is the general way of saying about persons, animals and things that they have some quality (here ‘tallness’) above average in general sense. The adjective word ‘tall’ is said to be  in the “positive form”.

This comparison is called “positive degree” comparison.

There are two more comparisons with the ‘positive form’ of the adjective words. They are:

(i)  Degree of Equality: This comparison is used to compare two persons, animals or things to tell us that they are equal – having the same quality.

 There are  two cats with the same height and weight, and look the same except for the colour.

Therefore we say:

The brown cat is as beautiful as the grey cat.  (= Both the cats are the same.)

The word “beautiful” is an adjective in the ‘positive form’, and with the conjunction as…as  it expresses the ‘degree of equality’.

(ii)  Degree of Inequality: This comparison is used to compare two persons, animals or things to tell us that they are not equal – not having the same quality.

The brown cat is not so beautiful as the black & white cat.         (= They arenot the same.)

The word “beautiful” is an adjective in the ‘positive form’, and with the conjunction so…as (and the negative ‘not’) it expresses the ‘degree ofinequality’

2. COMPARATIVE DEGREE:

 Tom is a tall boy.             Tom is taller than his sister.                                               

In the second sentence the word ‘taller’ is an adjective used to compare the ‘tallness’ of these two persons – Tom and his sister – and to tell us that Tom has more of the quality of ‘tallness’.

Therefore, an adjective word which shows the difference of quality betweentwotwo groups of persons, animals or things is said to be in the ‘comparative form’. persons, animals or things, or

This comparison is called “Comparative Degree”.

There are two more degrees of comparison with the ‘comparative form’ of an adjective. They are:

(i)  Parallel Degree: This comparison is used to show that the qualities of two items (adjectives or adverbs) talked about in the given sentence go parallel, i.e. if one quality (adjective or adverb) increases, the other quality (adjective or adverb) increases, and if one quality decreases, the other quality also decreases.

The bigger the box, the heavier it is.

(ii)  Progressive Degree: This comparison is used to show that the quality of a thing (adjective or adverb) talked about in the given sentence increases as the time passes, for example:

MON      TUE         WED       THU        FRI          SAT         SUN

25° → 27° → 30° → 33°→ 35° → 38° → 40°

It’s getting hotter and hotter day by day.  [as the time passes the temperature increases] OR The days are getting hotter and hotter.

3. SUPERLATIVE DEGREE:

A musk ox is a large animal.         An elephant is larger than a musk ox.

The blue whale is the largest of all animals.

The blue whale is the largest of all animals in the world.

In this sentence the word (the) ‘largest’ is an adjective used to compare the “largeness” of the blue whale and to tell us that the blue whale has the most quality of ‘largeness’.

This comparison is used to compare one person, animal or thing with more than two persons, animals or things (the rest of the group of more than two), and to say that the particular one has the highest degree of that       particular quality (here the comparison is between the blue whale and the rest of the animals, more than two). The adjective ‘large’ is said to be in the ‘superlative form’.

This comparison is called “Superlative Degree”.
