The Given

Correctional facilities are created to implement penalties for persons who have committed criminal offences. Consequently, persons held in them are often socially dangerous, criminally infected and inclined to deviant behavior. At the same time, the isolation, restriction of discretion and movement, the need to stay for a long time in a certain group of people are triggering factors and cause such conditions as boredom, irritation, apathy, depression, emotional instability. These circumstances do not exclude the occurrence of emergencies caused by a violation of standards and rules of conduct by persons sentenced to imprisonment, as evidenced by the facts recorded in penitentiary practice. Working in such conditions imposes special requirements to employees. In respect thereof, particular attention is paid to the need for penal system employees to be ready for emergency circumstances. This type of readiness is complex and includes motivationally interdependent will, cognitive and activity components. The formation of the given components depends on a number of external and internal factors. While preparing staff for professional tasks in emergency circumstances, it is rather important to pay attention not only to personal, but also to the collective readiness of staff units. The staff readiness to emergencies contributes to the effective service tasks execution, increases the sense of self-confidence in staff and their authority among colleagues, and affects the nature of professional communication.

As principals assume their roles in an urban bureaucracy, what are some of the personal and organizational factors that support or restrict their efforts to bring about school change? Based on interviews with newly appointed principals, this study concludes that external and internal factors interact to influence leadership behavior. External factors, particularly role models, district expectations, and personal and organizational support, influence principals’ sense of self-efficacy. This internal factor, in turn, appeared to play an important mediating role influencing principals’ interpretation of the organizational context and their problem-solving processes.

Abstract Background: Caring for infants after the first-stage palliative surgery for single-ventricle heart disease bring challenges beyond the usual parenting responsibilities. Current studies fail to capture the nuances of caregivers’ experiences during the most critical “interstage” period between the first and second surgery. Objectives: To explore the perceptions of caregivers about their experiences while transitioning to caregiver roles, including the successes and challenges associated with caregiving during the interstage period. Methods: Constructivist Grounded Theory methodology guided the collection and analysis of data from in person or telephonic interviews with caregivers after their infants underwent the first-stage palliative surgery for single-ventricle heart disease, and were sent to home for 2–4 months before returning for their second surgery. Symbolic interactionism informed data analyses and interpretation. Results: Our sample included 14 parents, who were interviewed 1–2 times between November, 2019 and July, 2020. Most patients were mothers (71%), Latinx (64%), with household incomes <$30K (42%). Data analysis led to the development of a Grounded Theory called Developing a Sense of Self-Reliance with three categories: (1) Owning caregiving responsibilities despite grave fears, (2) Figuring out how “to make it work” in the interstage period, and (3) Gaining a sense of self-reliance. Conclusions: Parents transitioned to caregiver roles by developing a sense of self-reliance and, in the process, gained self-confidence and decision-making skills. Our study responded to the key research priority from the AHA Scientific Statement to address the knowledge gap in home monitoring for interstage infants through qualitative research design.

Abstrak. Remaja dengan penampilan fisik berjerawat yang tidak sesuai dengan gambaran idealnya, dikatakan memiliki kepercayaan diri tinggi apabila ia mampu menerima dengan realistis dan mensyukuri serta bertindak positif sedangkan kepercayaan diri rendah apabila remaja tersebut merasa tidak puas, malu, kecewa dan menolak keadaan dirinya. Jerawat atau acne vulgaris adalah peradangan folikel sebasea yang ditandai oleh komedo, papula, pustula, kista dan nodulus di wajah, leher, badan atas dan lengan atas. Jerawat cukup merisaukan karena berhubungan dengan menurunnya kepercayaan diri akibat berkurangnya keindahan wajah penderita. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan tingkat kepercayaan diri dengan jerawat. Jenis penelitian ini adalah korelasional dengan pendekatan waktu cross sectional (potong lintang). Subyek penelitian adalah siswa/i kelas X-XII SMA Negeri 7 Manado yang berjerawat dengan jumlah 90 responden yang dipilih dengan cara purposive sampling. Untuk menganalisis hubungan antara tingkat kepercayaan diri dengan jerawat digunakan teknik analisis Rank Spearman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai koefisien korelasi antara jerawat dengan kepercayaan diri sebesar -0,068, artinya jerawat dengan kepercayaan diri memiliki hubungan negatif dimana keeratan korelasinya sangat lemah (<0,20) sehingga dapat dikatakan tidak terdapat hubungan signifikan antara kepercayaan diri dengan jerawat (Sig=0,523). Artinya, kondisi fisik dalam hal ini jerawat bukan satu-satunya faktor yang mempengaruhi kepercayaan diri. Konsep diri, pengalaman, pendidikan merupakan faktor internal dan orang tua, teman sebaya dan masyarakat merupakan faktor eksternal yang bisa mempengaruhi kepercayaan diri. Responden yang memiliki kepercayaan diri tinggi walaupun berjerawat tidak berorientasi pada penampilan fisik semata, karena mereka merasa yakin akan kemampuan dan potensi dirinya pada hal-hal yang lain.Kata kunci: Remaja, Kepercayaan Diri, Jerawat.Abstract. Adolescents with acne in physical appearance that doesn’t like the ideal appearance, is said that have confidence when he can accept realistically, still feel grateful and act positively while low confidence if these adolescents are not satisfied, embarrassed, disappointed, and rejected themselves. Acne vulgaris is the inflammation of the sebaceous follicles characterized by comedones, papules, pustules, cysts and nodules on the face, neck, upper trunk and upper arms. Acne is troubling because it is related to the degradation of self confidence due to the beauty of the face.This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the level of confidence with acne. This type of study is correlational with cross sectional approach. The subjects are SMAN 7 Manado students who have acnes with 90 respondents chosen by purposive sampling. Spearman Rank analysis techniques is used to.The results showed that the correlation coefficient between acne with confidence at -0.068, meaning the relationship between acne and confidence is negative which the closeness of the correlation is very weak (<0.20) so that it canbe said there is no significant relationship between confidence with acne (Sig = 0.523). It means, the physical appearance in this case the acne is not the only factor affecting confidence. Self-concept, experience, education is the internal factors and their parents, peers and the community are the external factors that can affect confidence. Respondents with high self confidence eventhough have acnes are not oriented on their physical appearance alone, , because they feel confident in the ability and potential for him in other things.Keywords: Adolescents, Confidence, Acne.

The Given

Pollution of sea waters is one of major attributes of coastal industrial centers and the norming of such emissions is one of major countermeasures. The assimilation capacity of sea waters is a major factor relevant at norming and planning of outflows into sea waters. At present time the synoptical method has been developed, which doesn’t require carrying out long time and repeated observing of the level of pollution of sea waters. This method has formed the basis for developing the integrated synoptical method for calculating sea water assimilation capacity. The suggested method provides for division of the sea waters into separated homogenous water masses. The aim of the study is to develop an inverse integrated synoptical method allowing synthesizing of such an optimum order for loading separate water masses with pollutants upon, at which the calculated total value of assimilation capacity would reach its maximum. The article shows the possibility of utilization of known synoptical method for determining assimilation capacity of sea waters in the inverse order, i.e. for calculating the maximum value of pollutant put into the fixed zone of sea waters, upon a condition of reaching the given amount of assimilation capacity and absence of essential negative effect on ecosystem. The task of calculating an optimum regime function of discrete type, upon which the integrated value of assimilation capacity would reach the maximum value, has been formulated. The solution of analogue equivalent of the formed optimization task is carried out using the Euler equation for a non-conditional variation optimization task, taking into account the accepted limitation condition. The recommendations on optimum loading of different sea water zones with determined type of pollutant have been given.

Introduction: Consciousness consists of states of sentience, feeling or awareness while awake, not in comma and alive. The current neuroscientific trend suggests the correlation of conscious experience with certain corticothalamic circuits, thus constituting part of the brain function. Animals show signs of consciousness but distinctive human element appears to be self-consciousness, the acute sense of self-awareness. Objectives: Our aim is to clarify whether animals are conscious, and if so, what the level of their consciousness is and what neuronal mechanisms are underlying in what is supposed to be human’s unique feature of consciousness. Methods & Results: A search of the literature in relevant journals (e.g. Nature Neuroscience, American Zoologist) and manually from identified articles’ reference list was conducted. Experiments (including mirror tests, language learning and comprehending tests, exposure to social competition environments, etc.) as well as the given of similarities in neuroanatomical architecture of mammals, behavior and the idea of evolutionary continuity propose that animals are conscious but the level of that remains to be investigated. On the other hand, humans feature, in addition, self-consciousness, being able to perceive and explain their emotions and actions. Conclusion: The claim that animals don’t share the state of consciousness is a remnant of the human’s high belief of being a privileged species amongst others. Nonetheless, the particular characteristic of self-consciousness seems to be exclusively attributed to human kind. However, further research should be made to understand deeply the neuronal background of the enigmatic as it is now features of consciousness and self-consciousness.
