One of the congenital factors that affect the transmission of dengue disease is blood type. This study mainly aims to consider blood type O in humans and uses a differential equations system formulation to analyse the dynamical system. The basic reproduction number is determined as the threshold for dengue disease transmission model. This model has been applied to the data from weekly data dengue cases occurring in Bandung in the year 2013. When it is supported by actual data which provides the parameters and values for the variables, this model can be implemented and thus used to describe the dynamical system of dengue disease transmission with respect to O blood type in humans. It can be concluded that blood type O is an important factor to be considered when formulating strategies for prevention and treatment. This study provides a significant improvement to the knowledge of dengue transmission dynamics and should be beneficial in aiding control of the transmission of dengue disease.....

This study aims to research the use of historical resources that can help teachers who start teaching history in primary and secondary schools. The objective of this study is the use of citation and the theme of historical events that selected based on historical curriculum in primary and secondary schools. The findings show that among the early history teachers are still tied to the historical subjects as a subjects that required a simple set of knowledge based on facts. Therefore, based on the taxonomy provided, the early history teacher does not have the ability to move historical facts based on estimation, understanding, application, analysis, assessment and event invent. Therefore, a historical curriculum that emphasizes five historical thinking skills will not be able to achieve the High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). Hence, historical subjects are often seen as a set of facts but not used to guide students to see a more optimistic future based on the history they learn. The concl.....
