Early Starter – The Early Detection of Delinquency Risk

Abstract A social problem of interest to many scholars today is that of juvenile delinquency. Juvenile delinquency is a serious behavioural problem, manifested through behaviours that deviate from the moral and legal norms of society. It was noted in Europe in the last decade an increase in the number of juvenile delinquents and a decrease in the age of young people who commit acts of delinquency. This requires prevention and intervention measures to be applied as early as possible. Prevention can be achieved only when an early detection of risk is performed. One screening tool for assessing risk is The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. This tool is intended to clarify, in a first rough assessment (a so-called ‘screening’) of whether a child is about to become an ‘early starter’; a child showing signs of an early onset delinquent behaviour. In the city of Sibiu the questionnaire was applied within schools and information was provided by teachers relating to 308 pupils in grades I-IV. The main perception of the target group of this study was that children who have committed crimes, but are not criminally responsible, are primarily troubled kids, not criminals with established patterns of behaviour. Consequently, the social and educational systems and not the justice system should bear the responsibility for this target group. From this perspective, it is important that social, educational and therapeutic activities focus on the various individual problems of each child and family.

Juvenile Delinquency is a deviant behavior that occurs among adolescents. Juvenile delinquency refers to adolescent behavior that is not in accordance with the norms that live in the community. In terms of juvenile delinquency law is classified into two groups relating to legal norms, namely: (1) delinquency that is immoral and social and is not regulated in law so it can not or is difficult to be classified as a violation of law; (2) delinquency which is unlawful with the settlement in accordance with the law and applicable law is the same as unlawful conduct if committed by an adult. Furthermore culture or culture derived from Sanskrit is buddhayah, which is the plural form of buddhi (mind or intellect) is defined as matters relating to the mind and human reason. In English, culture is called culture, which comes from the Latin word Colere, which is to process or work, so that juvenile delinquency in cultural perspective is very visible relation. Teenagers should be able to get as many adults as possible who would motivate good behavior as well as people who have improved after failing at this stage. The existence of motivation from family, teachers, peers is something that can be done to overcome juvenile delinquency and also good for the development of adolescents. Let us tackle juvenile delinquency wisely. This paper is based on the results of several researchers research.

Children’S Development

In pediatric primary health care, one of the basic activities is the prevention of diseases and conditions that endanger the quality of life of the child and his/her daily functioning in the environment. According to world data , about 17% of children have some developmental difficulties which are discovered in only 50% of them before they start school. The goal of development assessment is systematic and precise early detection of deviations from normative development, timely undertaking of appropriate interventions, as well as elimination or mitigation of disorders. Research has shown that the use of instruments has increased the early detection of developmental delays or developmental disorders (in this way, 70-80% of children with developmental problems are detected) and provided an opportunity for early application of intervention measures. The set of 21 Ages & Stages Questionnaires ASQ-3 has been used for more than 30 years worldwide to screen and evaluate children's development by observing how children progress in important areas such as speech, physical ability, social and problem-solving skills for children aged 2 months to 5.5 years. It is filled in by parents and returned to professionals, and they further make an assessment based on clear instructions on the procedure of writing results in the domains of development, scoring (graphical and tabular) interpretation and communication, as well as training parents to stimulate development through play, ie. what to do next with the child's parent to stimulate development through play, ie. how and what to do next with the child. In the past ten years, the Association of Pediatricians of Serbia, together with its partners, has advocated for a comprehensive assessment and monitoring of children's development using valid instruments in the framework of preventive pediatric examinations. Through a series of projects in this area, through education of pediatricians and associates, and by application in practice, the standardized questionnaire ASQ-3, entitled "Age and development of the child" was tested and adapted in 2019.

Introduction. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, new independent states began to develop their own approaches to education based on national and confessional traditions. It was reflected in new norms, regulating their educational systems. The study of these norms and the process of their creation, the role of teachers and other stakeholders in this process help to evaluate educational activities at secondary schools. Materials and Methods. The expert survey of practicing teachers who work in general education organizations was conducted between December 2020 and May 2021. 268 educators from Russia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan answered the questions of the survey. The materials of the study were the norms of the Constitutions, laws on education of Russia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan; methodological recommendations on education issues, developed by national academies of education; codes of pedagogical ethics; regulatory documents of religious organizations. Results. Experts in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan have demonstrated the need for legal norms governing the organization of the upbringing process. The assessment by Russian experts of the existing norms of national legislation showed that they generate excessive bureaucratization of the process, limiting the creative potential of teachers. Most experts in all three countries question the validity of professional codes of ethics. Assessing the norm-making potential of various stakeholders, Russian respondents put the state to the first place along with the pedagogical community, while Kazakh and Kyrgyz experts give priority to the pedagogical community and educational organizations. However, only teachers of Kazakhstan see real opportunities for participation in rule-making processes. Discussion and Conclusion. There are cross-country differences in assessing the quality of specific norms and the norm-making potential of school teachers. The main problems faced by experts in the implementation of educational activities (bureaucratization, limitation of creative potential, absence of time) are outlined.

Los problemas de bajo rendimiento académico y rezago son recurrentes en instituciones educativas de nivel superior, especialmente al inicio de los estudios universitarios. En el contexto local, análisis diagnósticos han mostrado altos índices de reprobación y bajo rendimiento académico. En este trabajo, se utilizaron datos sociodemográficos y resultados de exámenes de admisión de 415 alumnos de las carreras del área de computación de la Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán (México), inscritos entre 2016 y 2019. El objetivo es generar modelos predictivos de riesgo académico, empleando métodos de la minería de datos educativa, que sirvan como herramientas de detección temprana de condiciones de riesgo académico y faciliten el despliegue de estrategias de intervención educativa. Se siguieron las etapas del Proceso de Extracción de Conocimiento en Bases de Datos, concretamente, se aplicaron técnicas de clasificación para el análisis, obtención y validación de los modelos. Los resultados muestran que el mejor modelo corresponde al algoritmo LMT, con un valor de precisión de 75.42% y un 0.805 para el área bajo la curva ROC. Se logró identificar a los mejores atributos predictores, particularmente las pruebas del examen de ingreso a licenciatura fueron muy significativas. Se propone el desarrollo de herramientas informáticas para la detección precoz de riesgo académico y estrategias de intervención educativa oportuna. The problems of poor academic performance and lag are recurrent in higher-level educational institutions, especially at the beginning of university studies. The early detection of academic risk conditions enables the implementation of educational intervention measures to address factors of poor school performance, associated with the particular contexts of the students. The purpose of this study was to generate predictive models of academic risk, using educational data mining methods, specifically classification or prediction techniques, for the analysis, obtaining and validation of the models. The data used correspond to admission exam results and sociodemographic data of 415 students of the computer science majors at the Autonomous University of Yucatán (Mexico), enrolled between 2016 and 2019. The results show that the best model corresponding to the algorithm of LMT classification, with a precision value of 75.42% and 0.805 for the area under the ROC curve. It was possible to identify the best predictive attributes, particularly the bachelor entrance exam tests were very significant. The development of computer tools for the early detection of academic risk and strategies for timely educational intervention is proposed.

BACKGROUND: According to the WHO, in 2018 stomach cancer was the fifth and esophageal cancer seventh most common cancer in the world. In 2011 the National Screening Program for the Early Detection of Breast, Cervical, and Colorectal Cancer was introduced in Kazakhstan. In 2013 a pilot screening program for the early detection of esophageal and stomach cancers was introduced in Kazakhstan in some regions where there is a low detectability. AIM: Determination of the main causes of low detection of esophageal and stomach cancers in the framework of a pilot screening program in Pavlodar region (Kazakhstan). METHODS: According to the Ministry of Healthcare of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the target group for screening to detect esophageal and stomach cancers was men and women at the aged of 50, 52, 54, 56, 58 and 60 who were not registered as a cancer patient. A retrospective analysis was carried out according to the newly diagnosed cases of esophageal and stomach cancers in Pavlodar region for 20132017. All cases of esophageal and stomach cancers were analyzed to determine the proportion of new cases detected as part of a pilot screening program. RESULTS: 1114 new cases of esophageal and stomach cancers are registered from 2013 to 2017 in Pavlodar region. According to the data in Pavlodar region the average age of newly diagnosed patients with esophageal and stomach cancers was 66 years, M = 65.92 (95 % CI: 65.2466.59) SD = 11.495. During pilot screening program, 135 042 participants were examined; various pathological processes of the esophageal and stomach cancers were detected among 1678 patients, including 97 cancer cases. The detectability of esophageal and stomach cancers from the total number of participants was 0.07 %. Out of 1114 all registered new cases of esophageal and stomach cancers, only 97 new diagnosed cases detected as part of a pilot screening program, reaching 8.7 %, which is considered low. CONCLUSIONS: The main reasons for low detection are administrative barriers. The main barrier of the pilot screening program was the selection of the target group at the age of 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60 years old only. Therefore, 15.5 % of newly diagnosed cases of esophageal and stomach cancers were missed due to existing intervals. The second barrier was the use of endoscopes which did not support the function of photo and video archiving of the conducted procedures.

Despite the great supply of water resources, the Amazon Hydrographic Region shows signs of environmental degradation when it comes to water quality, especially in areas located near major urban centers. The purpose of this work was to go to the field to collect water samples from the Miriti-AM lake, to evaluate the physico-chemical and microbiological parameters of the same, being selected for evaluation: pH, turbidity, temperature, BOD5, OD and thermotolerant coliforms. The parameters of Water Quality (QA) analyzed were compared with the limits established by CONAMA Resolution 357/2005. At all points the presence of thermotolerant coliforms was not found but, it was found the presence of gram-negative bacteria which indicates total coliforms. With the project carried out in Lake Miriti-AM, it was verified that the water condition of this spring is not fully within the quality standards established by the legal norms for use of class I waters, requiring intervention measures for the protection of this source for control and adaptation of standards that are in disagreement with legal norms.
