Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dilihatdari standar isi; standar proses; standar kompetensi kelulusan; standar pendidikan dan tenagakependididkan; standar sarana dan prasarana ; standar pengelolaan; standar pembiayaan; danstandar penilaian sudah cukup baik. Ketercapaian delapan standar nasional pendidikan seluruhsekolah sampel sudah mencapai tingkat yang cukup tinggi yakni di atas 90%, kendati masihada beberapa dari sub butir standart yang masih perlu lebih diperbaiki Abstract:The aim of this research is to discover the school effectiveness seen from eightcomponents of standards of national education. From these eight components, we will find outwhich components still need to be regenerated. This research is using survey method bystructured questionnaire to gather information from respondents. The population is 349Government Junior High Schools in a region of ex Surakarta Residence. Total of samples frompopulation is 172 schools, using area probability sampling approach. To collect the data, weused closed questionnaire with Likert scale as the instrument. After all data collected, then weanalyze it descriptively with quantitative approach. The result shown that all the componentsof standards of national education, including content standards; process standards;competence of graduates standards; educational standards and human resource standards;facilities standards; management standards; funding standards; and assesment standards arefairly good. The achievement of eight standards of national education from all sample schoolsalready achieved high level, i.e. above than 90%. But still there are several sub componentsneeds to be regenerated.

Technology in education is a global phenomenon affecting learners of all ages. The breadth and variety of available tools make it difficult to implement a standardized method for assessing the impact of technology on learning. The lack of a consensus on good and bad practices results in inconsistent application and mixed learning results.   This article takes a look at the adaptation of technology to education and examines the various tools used to enhance learning. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using technology, as well as review methodologies for evaluating the impact.   The essay concludes by identifying several problems with the way technology is evaluated and offers suggestions for further research to address those problems.

Abstract Background Understanding the burden of common mental health disorders, such as depressive disorder, is the first step in strengthening prevention and treatment in humanitarian emergencies. However, simple random sampling methods may lead to a high risk of coercion in settings characterized by a lack of distinction between researchers and aid organizations, mistrust, privacy concerns, and the overarching power differential between researchers and populations affected by crises. This case analysis describes a sampling approach developed for a survey study of depressive disorder in a Syrian refugee camp in Greece (n = 135). Discussion Syrian refugees face an extraordinarily high burden of depressive disorder during the asylum process (43%), necessitating population screening, prevention, and treatment. In order to preserve the informed consent process in this refugee camp setting, the research team developed a two-phase sampling strategy using a map depicting the geographical layout of the housing units within the camp. In the first phase, camp management announced a research study was being undertaken and individuals were invited to volunteer to participate. The participants’ container (housing) numbers were recorded on the map, but were not linked to the survey data. Then, in the second phase, the camp map was used for complementary sampling to reach a sample sufficient for statistical analysis. As a result of the two phases of the sampling exercise, all eligible adults from half the containers in each block were recruited, producing a systematic, age- and sex-representative sample. Conclusions Combining sampling procedures in humanitarian emergencies can reduce the risk of coerced consent and bias by allowing participants to approach researchers in the first phase, with a second phase of sampling conducted to recruit a systematic sample. This case analysis illuminates the feasibility of a two-phase sampling approach for drawing a quasi-random, representative sample in a refugee camp setting.

And Behavior

Zebrafish are easy to breed in a laboratory setting as they are extremely fertile and produce dozens of eggs per set. Because zebrafish eggs and the skin of the early-stage larvae are transparent, their embryos and the hearts and muscles of their larvae can be easily observed. Multiple rapid analyses of heart rate and behavior can be performed on these larvae simultaneously, enabling investigation of the influence of neuroactive substances on abnormal behavior, death, and associated pathogenetic mechanisms. Zebrafish larvae are becoming increasingly popular among researchers and are used in laboratories worldwide to study various vertebrate life phenomena; more experimental systems using zebrafish will undoubtedly be developed in the future. However, based on the available literature, we believe that the conceptualization of a protocol based on scientific evidence is necessary to achieve standardization. We exposed zebrafish larvae at 6–7 days post-fertilization to 50 repeated light–dark stimuli at either 15-min or 5-min intervals. We measured the traveled distance and habituation time through a video tracking apparatus. The traveled distance stabilized after the 16th repetition when the zebrafish were exposed to light–dark stimuli at 15-min intervals and after the 5th repetition when exposed at 5-min intervals. Additionally, at 15-min intervals, the peak of the traveled distance was reached within the first minute in a dark environment, whereas at 5-min intervals, it did not reach the peak even after 5 min. The traveled distance was more stable at 5-min intervals of light/dark stimuli than at 15-min intervals. Therefore, if one acclimatizes zebrafish larvae for 1 h and collects data from the 5th repetition of light/dark stimuli at intervals of 5 min in the light/dark test, a stable traveled distance result can be obtained. The establishment of this standardized method would be beneficial for investigating substances of unknown lethal concentration.

Sampling Approach

The loss of hematopoietic stem cell donation (HSCD) volunteers is widespread worldwide. This study analyzed the distribution characteristics of volunteer retention between the swab sampling approach and blood sampling approach. The Shanghai branch of the China Bone Marrow Donation Program conducted a telephone follow-up with 18,963 volunteers to understand volunteer retention. Multiple logistic regression was used to analyze the distribution characteristics of volunteer retention between two different sampling approaches, and a forest plot was used to observe the distribution trend. Only 32.37% of the volunteers could be contacted, and the loss of volunteers was severe. The volunteer retention is influenced by sampling approaches and demographic characteristics, and Shanghai natives, the highly educated, and students had better retention. The volunteer retention of the swab group was better among young people and technicians, while the volunteer retention of the blood sample group was lower among public officials and workers, and the volunteer retention in the blood sample group was more significantly affected by changes in population characteristics. To enhance the stability of volunteers, managers should improve the contact channels and frequency, expand the ratio of stable volunteers, strengthen volunteer education in the process of collecting blood samples, and respect individuals’ willingness.
