Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is a global health problem, often underestimated, and leads to permanent hearing loss. The prevalence of NIHL in adolescents has increased in line with the increasing use of cell phones. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of NIHL and analyze the population at risk (age, gender, and school) in adolescent students. The study design was a cross-sectional study. A total of 510 students consisting of female, n=288 and male, n=222; junior high school, n=203 and senior high school, n=307 were used as research subjects. This study was conducted on August-October 2015 at Darul Ihsan School, Banda Aceh, Indonesia. An audiometry examination was performed to determine the diagnosis of NIHL. Data analysis was using descriptive analysis and independent sample t-test(p<0.05). The results of this study were the prevalence of NIHL in adolescents aged 11-20 years was 18.88%. The highest percentage of NIHL was at the age of 15 years (34.57%). The number of NIHL was significantly higher (p=0.000*) in males (24.32%) compared to females (9.37%). The prevalence of NIHL was significantly higher (p=0.00*) in senior high school children (26.11%) compared to that in junior high school children (9.12%). In conclusion, the highest prevalence of NIHL was at the age of 15 years. NIHL was more common in male than in female students. NIHL was higher in high school students compared to junior high school students. The NIHL was related to age, gender, and school level.

The aim of the current study was to examine how junior high school students interpret, motivate, and explain various bystander behaviors in bullying situations. The participants were 17 junior high school students recruited from four schools in Sweden. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and analysed with grounded theory methods. The analysis generated a conceptual model of bystander interpreting–considering process in school bullying. A core category named ‘it depends’ was developed to explain how the participants in the study motivated their own and their peers’ actions as bystanders in various bullying situations. Whether they intervened or not depended on how they interpreted the situation in terms of: (a) seriousness of the situation, including trivialization; (b) social relationships with the involved; (c) locus of responsibility, including displacement of responsibility, and victim blame; (d) social status; (e) perception of risk; and (f) defender self-efficacy. The implications of these results for bullying prevention and intervention efforts are discussed.

The aims of the study were (a) to establish the factor structure characterizing Israeli junior high school students of Western and Oriental ethnic origin on the Children's Scale of Social Attitudes, (b) to compare the Israeli factor structure with those for school children from other societies, and (c) to examine whether the Israeli school children's factor structure resembled those for Israeli adults as well as for adults from other societies. Analysis indicated that Israeli junior high school children from both Western and Oriental ethnic groups were characterized by similar factors of general conservatism, namely, Religion, Antihedonism, and Punitiveness, although the Orientals were more conservative on these factors than the Westerners. In addition, the present factor structure resembled those for groups of school children as well as adults from other societies, reconfirming that factors of general conservatism have cross-cultural validity.

Penelitian ini akan mengarahkan pada sasaran pendidikan karakter di sekolah. Sasaran pendidikan karakter adalah seluruh sekolah di Indonesia terutama pada tingkat SMP negeri maupun swasta, karena di masa SMP peserta didik belum terlalu melawan kepada guru, seperti anak SMA, dan anak SMP tidak terlalu kecil untuk mendapatkan materi pendidikan karakter, seperti anak SD. Semua warga sekolah, meliputi para peserta didik, guru, karyawan administrasi, dan pimpinan sekolah menjadi sasaran program ini. Sekolah-sekolah yang selama ini telah berhasil melaksanakan pendidikan karakter dengan baik dijadikan sebagai best practices, yang menjadi contoh untuk disebarluaskan ke sekolah-sekolah lainnya.This research will lead to the target of character education in schools. The target of character education is all schools in Indonesia, especially at the public and private junior high school level, because in junior high school students are not too resistant to teachers, such as high school students, and junior high school children are not too young to get character education materials, such as elementary school children. All school residents, including students, teachers, administrative staff, and school leaders are the targets of this program. Schools that have been successful in carrying out character education well are used as best practices, which serve as examples to be disseminated to other schools.

The ideas in this article are designed for elementary and junior high school children, yet they are flexible enough to offer some challenge for high school students, particularly in an algebra class. The authors have tried these ideas with third and fourth graders by simply exploring patterns; with a group of gifted twelve year olds, the analysis and extension of patterns really caused some excitement. There are so many variations on this theme of pattern exploration that a creative teacher could design discovery sequences for almost any group of children and would find the result to be quite productive.

Junior high school students in the study of developmental psychology enter the stages of adolescence, which means a foothold to reach the stage of becoming an adult. A teenager will experience puberty or a period of searching for his identity because in his mind there is a conflict of values between those learned in the family, community, school, to friends. Islamic education institutions are certainly expected to be able to give a bright color in the form of a good influence on the development of adolescent students through learning in the classroom and outside the classroom which leads to the formation of Islamic morals. An effective way to shape students' Islamic morals is through habituation. This research is a qualitative type with data collection method through interviews and direct observations in the research field, namely Muhammadiyah 2 Junior High School, Depok, Sleman, Yogyakarta. This school has a vision of education with morality, education, achievement and environmental insight. Muhammadiyah 2 Junior High School Depok as one of the Islamic educational institutions assigns tasks to Ismuba Teachers (Al-Islam, Kemuhammadiyahan, and Arabic) specifically as the frontline in organizing, running, and evaluating programs that are related to shaping Islamic student morals with Employee Teachers and all school residents in general.

The purpose of this study was to compare the morphological and mechanical properties of the human patellar tendon among elementary school children (prepubertal), junior high school students (pubertal), and adults. Twenty-one elementary school children, 18 junior high school students, and 22 adults participated in this study. The maximal strain, stiffness, Young’s modulus, hysteresis, and cross-sectional area of the patellar tendon were measured using ultrasonography. No significant difference was observed in the relative length (to thigh length) or cross-sectional area (to body mass2/3) of the patellar tendon among the three groups. Stiffness and Young’s modulus were significantly lower in elementary school children than in the other groups, while no significant differences were observed between junior high school students and adults. No significant differences were observed in maximal strain or hysteresis among the three groups. These results suggest that the material property (Young’s modulus) of the patellar tendons of elementary school children was lower than that of the other groups, whereas that of junior high school students was already similar to that of adults. In addition, no significant differences were observed in the extensibility (maximal strain) or viscosity (hysteresis) of the patellar tendon among the three groups.
