ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate and compare the phonological awareness of low vision students with normal vision ones. Methods: this is a cross-sectional, descriptive and quantitative research that was performed through the application of the Oral Phonological Awareness Test, which is composed of ten subtests, with four items each. The population consisted of 30 students attending public elementary school, aged 8 to 14 years, and divided into two groups of 15 participants each: the study group and the control one. Results: the p value found was less than 1% for the Phonemic Synthesis, Rhyme, Phonemic Segmentation, Syllabic Manipulation, Phonemic Manipulation questionnaires, in addition to the two Phonemic Transposition questionnaires, thus, considering the significance level of 1%, and rejecting equality in the results of the questionnaires. Considering the significance level of 1%, and since the p-value obtained was less than 1%, a statistically significant difference was observed in the variance analysis of the sum of the points obtained in all questionnaires. Conclusion: The Study Group, which was represented by low vision students, had lower results in most of the subtests of the Oral Phonological Awareness Test, except for the Syllabic Synthesis test, in which they had similar results as those of the Control Group, represented by normal vision students.

Current waste management problems often occur in Yogyakarta. This is due to population growth which results in an increase the amount of waste generated. The occurrence is certainly not comparable with the area and number of Final Disposal Sites that do not increase. One method of waste management that can be applied is a Waste Bank. After conducting a preliminary survey at Anjani Asrih Waste Bank, there are 20-25% of customers were actively saving. Therefore, a method is needed that can increase customer participation. JUMAMPAH (Waste Monitoring Interpreter) is a method created by researchers who is expected to be able to increase children's knowledge about sorting and saving rubbish so that in the long run it can increase the participants of waste bank customers. The research is quasi-experimental research with a Pre-test design Post-test by using Control Group Design. The location of the study was in Surokarsan 2 Elementary School and Kintelan 1 Elementary School. Surokarsan 2 Elementary School as an experimental group received treatment in the form of counseling using media power points while Kintelan 1 Elementary School as a control group did not receive any treatment. The results of the statistical analysis using Mann-Whitney for knowledge of sorting out the waste, waste saving knowledge obtained p-value 0,000 <0,05 and JUMAMPAH practice indicated there was a significant difference. The conclusionof the research  show there is significant difference in the value of the knowledge of sorting out waste, saving waste and JUMAMPAH practices on Surokarsan 2 Elementary School students as an experimental group and Kintelan 1 Elementary School students as a control group.

Introduction: Pregnant woman experience various physical, emotional, and hormonal changes that may cause anxiety. The anxiety and worries can be decreased by sharing information about the developing child, like foetal body movement. Aim: To assess effect of Foetal Movement Counting (FMC) on prenatal attachment and maternal worries among primigravida mothers. Materials and Methods: A longitudinal study was carried out among primigravida mothers of selected Hospitals of Central Gujarat using proforma of Cranley’s maternal foetal attachment scale and Cambridge worry scale. The study was conducted from March 2019 to July 2020. Eighty participants were recruited by convenient sampling 40 in each study group and control group. The study group were provided with foetal movement chart and the participants were asked to record foetal movements for seven consecutive days, twice a day for 20 minutes. Post assessment of prenatal attachment and maternal worries was done using tools of data collection for both study and control group. Chi- square test was used to test the significance (p-value <0.05). Results: The study results revealed that in study group mean score for prenatal attachment was 79.43 at the start and improved to 101.25 (p-value <0.001) after seven days of FMC. In control group, the mean score for prenatal attachment did not show significant difference pre-test and post-test (74.20 vs 74.85, p-value=0.077). In study group, the mean Cambridge worry scale score was 36.55 which came down to 20.28 (p-value <0.001) after seven days, while in control group it was 41.38 at the beginning and 41.30 after seven days (p-value=0.998).

BACK GROUND: Post partum hemorrhage still remains a major cause of maternal death. Syntocinonis the first line protective measure in this regard. However this is heat sensitive and losses its efficacyafter storage for some time. On the other hand misoprostol do not losses its efficacy for long time afterstorage, is cheap, can be stored at room temperature and give the same result as syntocinon in preventingpostpartum hemorrhage and atonic uterus.OBJECTIVE: To assess the prophylactic use of misoprostol in preventing PPH and management ofatonic uterus, and compare it with conventional i/v syntocinon routinely used in hospitals for cesariondeliveries.MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a semi experimental study, which was conducted in Mardanmedical complex Hospital Mardan, department of obstetrics and gynecology unit A, between May 2014to May 2015. 200 women have give birth to their babies by C-section were included in the study anddivided into 2 groups, a control group (100 women who received syntocinon) and a study group (100women who received rectal misoprostol). Syntocinon lOu i/v injection and misoprostol 800ug (4tablets)per rectum were given to women in control and study group respectively, immediately after delivery ofthe baby. Blood loss after delivery and frequency of atonic PPH were recorded and compared betweenthe two groups. Side effects of both drugs were also noted.RESULTS: There was no significant difference in blood loss after delivery. Control group 250ml, studygroup 300ml, P value -0.18). The frequency of atonic PPH in study and control groups was similarranging between 3% and 4%.Side effects of misoprostol ( shivering 25% , fever 15% , vomiting 12%and diarrhea 5%) were significant ( P value <0.05 ) but all were temporary and not life threatening.CONCLUSION: Misoprostol can be used for the prevention of PPH and to reduce atonic uterus afterC-section deliveries, especially in poor countries where facilities for storage of oxytocin are notavailable. Benefits of misoprostol outweigh its side effects.Key Words: prophylaxis, atonic postpartum hemorrhage, rectal, misoprostol, syntocinon,underdeveloped countries.

Improving the quality of education in Indonesia can be developed through the implementation of education reform. One form of educational reform can be done by using a learning approach that can assist teachers in producing experts using the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) approach. The initial findings revealed only about 47.8% of elementary school students in Wae Ri'i sub-district (grade V) who still had not achieved satisfactory scientific and mathematical scores according to the minimum passing grade. This study aims to see the effectiveness of the STEM approach in improving the critical thinking skills of elementary school students in Wae Ri'i District. The research method used is an experimental design with Non Equivalent Control Group Design. The research subjects were elementary school students in five (5) elementary schools in Wae Ri'i District. The results shows the sig (2-tailed) value of Equal variances is assumed to be 0.000 <0, 05. Therefore, Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted, which means that there is a significant difference in critical thinking skills after students used the STEM-PBL approach, compared to innovative K13 approach. The average scores of the control class critical thinking skills for the pre-test and post-test were 38 and 79.5. The fixed coefficient is 0.676 and is significant at 0.000. This means that the correlation is positive. Therefore, learning with STEM approach is proven to be effective in improving the critical thinking skills of elementary school students in Wae Ri'i sub-district.
