Based on the Department of Health report, up to December 2011 there were 27,947 HIV/AIDS sufferers in Indonesia. 1,069 (3.83%) of them were aged 15-19, while 13,053 (46.71 %) were aged 20-29. The age group of 30-39 was 8,832 people (31.60%), age group of 40-49 was 2,840 people (10.16%), age group of50-59 was 83 people (0.30%) and over the age of 60 were 233 people (0.83%) The most sufferers are adolescents and adults. This study aims to examine and link learning culture-based human reproductive system in order to improve understanding of reproduction and prevent reproductive disease. The formulation of the problem in this study is how the application of learning culture-based human reproductive system affects the understanding of reproduction. This research is designed with Quasi Experiment method with One Group Pretest-Postest Design The study was conducted at MAN Darussalam Aceh Besar class XI IPA 1 involving 23 students and five observers and a biology teacher. The results of this study obtained a description of the reproduction system based on culture that affects the improvement of students. It was concluded that the application of learning of human culture based reproduction system has been able to increase students understanding on reproduction. Students can build knowledge through active involvement in the learning process and their understanding of the concept of the human reproductive system is increasing (N-gain = 71%).

Introduction. Serbia has 2.287 registered HIV positive persons. A certain number has ocular complications which are mainly the result of opportunistic infections accompanying this illness. Due to a highly stigmatizing environment for people living with HIV/AIDS in Serbia, they do not always seek doctors assistance despite the fear of losing their sight. Case report. We presented ophthalmologic status of nine HIV positive persons, all at the different phases of the illness. The decrease in the visual acuity was the first symptom which led to the diagnosis of HIV infection in two of our patients. Conclusion. Ophthalmologist has an important role in the multidisciplinary approach to patients with HIV/AIDS from introducing the diagnosis to the follow-up and the treatment of ocular complications which may accompany this chronic illness. With the active involvement of eye professionals serious consequences can be prevented, which have not only medical but also social and economic implications on the individual and the society as a whole.

The spread of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), an infection which is life-long and after a few years leads to the development of the deadly acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), has led to a pandemic of HIV/AIDS affecting the size and life expectancy of the world's population. The article presents data on the incidence of HIV infection and related mortality in the Russian Federation collected and systematized by the authors. In Russia, around 100,000 new cases of HIV are registered annually. The total number has reached 1 million, with the share of AIDS-related deaths relentlessly approaching 1% of total mortality from all causes, and in the 30–39 age group exceeding 5%. HIV represents nearly 50% of all deaths from infectious diseases, and is causing an overall growth in the number of such diseases. There is a direct threat of a further increase in HIV/AIDS-related deaths, as HIV-infected Russians comprise 1% of Russia's population aged 15-49. The group most affected by HIV are those aged 35-39: 2% of them are living with HIV. In the 30-34 age group, the proportion of persons with HIV is approaching 2%, and in the 40-44 age group it exceeds 1%. The growing proportion of heterosexual transmissions of HIV and the increasing number of HIV-infected women are alarming signs of the HIV epidemic’s spillover from intravenous drug users into the general population, making the economic impact of the epidemic even worse. It is necessary to prevent further losses in the most productive part of the population by introducing more efficient HIV prevention strategies and expanding access to treatment of people living with HIV.

The problem of implementing Islamic values in the learning process is one of the concerns in Islamic-based schools, in particular, Rahmatan Lil’alamin Islamic Senior High School in Pontianak. This study aimed to develop learning media based on the Quran verses in the human reproductive system using Macromedia flash software. This research and development used three phases of the 4D model developed by Thiagarajan, namely define, design, and development. The development results were validated by expert appraisal consisted of instructional review (appropriateness, effectiveness, feasibility) and technical review (media and language). Instruments used in this study were interview guide sheet (define phase), validation sheets, student response questionnaires, and post-test for product trial (development phase). Product trials were carried out by testing large groups consisted of 64 students majoring in social science at Rahmatan Lil’alamin Islamic Senior High School. The expert appraisal results showed that media reached “very valid” criteria with the validation scores 83.33 (instructional review), 80.42 (media),  and 85.00 (language). Therefore, the flash media of Quranic-based human reproductive system material is potential to be used as media in teaching Islamic values integrated within the learning process.

Twelve trainable mentally retarded children were given six weeks of instruction in the use of adjectives, polars, and locative prepositions. Specially prepared Language Master cards constituted the program. Posttests indicated that children in the older chronological age group earned significantly higher scores than those in the younger group. Children in the younger group made significant increases in scores, particularly in learning prepositions. A multisensory approach and active involvement in learning appeared to be major factors in achievement gains.
