This study aims to determine the opinions of teachers about the innovation level of their schools. The sample of this research includes 471 teachers working in primary and secondary schools in Sinop, a city in Turkey. “Innovative School Scale” developed by Aslan and Kesik (2017) was used in order to collect data in this study. Percentage, frequency, mean, standard deviation, T-test and one-way ANOVA were performed to determine teachers' opinions about the innovation level of their schools according to the demographic variables. The findings show that the opinions of teachers about the innovation level of their schools are quite high with a level of “often” in the dimensions of innovative atmosphere, administrative support and the overall scale and with a level of “sometimes” in the organizational impediments. While the teachers’ opinions indicate no significant differences regarding their genders, they show significant differences regarding their subject areas, years of teaching experience and teaching level of school. According to findings, branch teachers, teachers working in secondary schools and teachers having 21 or more years of teaching experience were found to have a higher level of opinions about the innovation level of their schools. The findings and suggestions obtained by the results are expected to contribute to the discussions and literature about increasing innovation level of schools.

Twenty percent of the total number of human leukocytes is lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are responsible for the control of the adaptive immune system. Physical activity is any body movement that requires energy to do it. Physical activity is related to changes in a person's immunity so that it can reduce the risks of diseases such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, and stroke. Black Cumin Seed Oil (BCSO) in various studies has been widely used as a supplement, especially as an immune-modulator. The purpose of this study is to see the effect of physical activity on lymphocyte levels in smokers who have been given Black Cumin Seed Oil for 30 days. This study used a single-blind Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) method, with a total of 36 test subjects divided into four groups. Group 1 received placebo 3x1 capsules/day, group 2 received BCSO 3x1 capsules/day, group 3 received BCSO 3x2 capsules/day, and group 4 received BCSO 3x3 capsules/day. The intervention was carried out for 30 days, then on the 31st-day blood was drawn for analysis. Data analysis using an independent t-test to see the average group with high and low activity, while to see the average lymphocyte between treatment groups using one way ANOVA test. The test results were said to be significant if p <0.05. The p-value of the independent t-test is 0.045, and one way ANOVA test p-value is 0.343. In conclusion, physical activity can increase lymphocyte levels significantly, but not on BCSO administration.

Oil palm smallholders have rapidly grown but their performance is relatively low compared to other producer groups. One of the programs that are expected to address this is certification. However, only a small percentage of smallholders received the certification in practice. This study was conducted to analyze the effectiveness of certification to improve smallholder oil palm plantations’ performance. The study was conducted in North Sumatra, South Sumatra, and Riau. Data were collected from 707 sample smallholders. Performance is measured from economic aspects, namely productivity, selling prices, fertilizer usage and harvest criteria, and environmental aspects, namely waste treatment and paraquat pesticide usage. The data were then analyzed using the One-Way ANOVA test and the One-Sample t-test. The results show significant differences in productivity and selling prices between the plasma and other smallholder groups, but not between the certified and non-certified ones. The results also show significant differences in the waste treatment between the certified and non-certified groups, but not in paraquat pesticides. Therefore, it can be concluded that certification cannot improve smallholder oil palm plantations’ performance if not followed by intensive and sustainable partnership assistance.

The aim of the present study is to examine personality traits and self-esteem levels of a total number of 124 adolescents aging between 14 and 20 (62 adolescents who are using substance and 62 adolescents who are not using any substance) are compared based on certain socio-demographic variables. Five-Factor Personality Inventory (FFPI) and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Questionnaire (RSEQ) are used in order to collect data. For the comparison of two groups, t-test is used if the data was normally distributed, and Mann-Whitney U Test was used when normality assumptions were not met. When there are more than two groups, for normally distribute variables One-way ANOVA, and when normality assumptions were not met, Kruskal-Wallis Test were used. According to the findings, girls who are using substance had lower levels of conscientiousness compared to girls who are not using any substance. For boys, they had lower scores for extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience and higher levels of neuroticism if they are using some substance compared to the ones who are not using any substance. When age is taken into consideration, the results indicated that substance using adolescents between 17-20 had higher agreeableness scores compared to the substance using adolescents aged between 14-16. On the other hand, no significant differences were found for adolescents who are not using any substance. Moreover, there were not any significant differences based on the age onset of substance use and immigration status. For self-esteem, boys who are using substance had lower levels compared to the boys who are not using substance. There was no significant difference for the girls based on self-esteem. Results were discussed in the light of literature and implications were proposed.  ÖzetBu çalışmada, 14-20 yaş arasında, 62 madde kullanan ve 62 madde kullanmayan olmak üzere toplam 124 ergenin kişilik özellikleri ile benlik saygısı düzeylerinin bazı sosyo-demografik değişkenlere göre incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri, Beş Faktör Kişilik Envanteri (5FKE) ve Rosenberg Benlik Saygısı Ölçeği (RBSÖ) ile toplanmıştır. Analizlerde bağımsız iki grup karşılaştırılırken "t testi" ve normal teori varsayımlarının sağlanmadığı durumlarda ise "Mann-Whitney U Testi" kullanılmıştır. İkiden fazla grubun olduğu durumlar için "Tek Yönlü Varyans Analizi ( One-Way ANOVA)" ve normal teori varsayımlarının sağlanmadığı durumlarda ise Kruskal-Wallis Testi"’ nden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen bulgulara göre, madde kullanan kızların özdenetim/sorumluluk puanlarının madde kullanmayan kızlardan daha düşük olduğu; madde kullanan erkeklerin dışadönüklük, yumuşakbaşlılık, özdenetim/sorumluluk ve gelişime açıklık puanlarının madde kullanmayan erkeklerden daha düşük, duygusal tutarsızlık puanlarının ise daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Yaş değişkenine göre bakıldığında, 17-20 yaş arasındaki madde kullanan ergenlerin yumuşakbaşlılık puanının 14-16 yaş arasındaki ergenlerden yüksek olduğu, madde kullanmayan ergenlerin yaş faktörüne göre kişilik özelliklerinin anlamlı farklılık göstermediği saptanmıştır. Maddeye başlama yaşına göre, madde kullanan ergenlerin kişilik özelliklerinin farklılaşmadığı aynı zamanda madde kullanan ve kullanmayan ergenlerin göç değişkenine göre kişilik özelliklerinin anlamlı farklılık göstermediği bulunmuştur. Benlik saygısı açısından incelendiğinde, madde kullanan ve kullanmayan kızların benlik saygılarının farklılaşmadığı; madde kullanan erkeklerin benlik saygılarının madde kullanmayan erkeklerden daha düşük olduğu görülmüştür.

Kajian ini dilakukan untuk melihat tahap kesesuaian input dan proses dalam pelaksanaan program Memperkukuh Bahasa Inggeris (MBI) di sekolah rendah bandar dan luar bandar di Kelantan. Kajian ini juga penting dibuat agar program yang dilaksanakan adalah selari dengan arahan Pekeliling Perbendaharaan Bil. 2/2012 yang sedang berkuatkuasa iaitu Bajet Berasaskan Outcome (OBB). Kajian berbentuk kuantitatif ini melibatkan penggunaan borang soal selidik dan diedarkan secara rawak kepada guru-guru sekolah rendah bandar dan luar bandar dan melibatkan seramai 297 orang guru dari 62 buah sekolah sebagai sampel bagi kajian ini. Walau bagaimanapun, artikel ini hanya membincangkan dari segi kesesuaian program sahaja. Kajian ini melibatkan analisis ujian-t tidak bersandar digunakan bagi melihat perbezaan kesesuaian input program MBI di sekolah. Manakala ujian Anova pula adalah untuk melihat perbezaan dari segi pengalaman guru mengajar BI di sekolah. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan tahap kesesuaian program MBI adalah sederhana sahaja, kajian juga mendapati tidak terdapat perbezaan antara kesesuaian Input di sekolah rendah bandar dan sekolah rendah luar bandar. Secara keseluruhannya, program MBI adalah sesuai untuk dilaksanakan di semua sekolah. Walau bagaimanapun, keputusan ini akan lebih memberangsangkan jika penambahbaikan segera dilakukan terhadap program ini. Kajian ini penting dilakukan bagi memastikan program MBI yang dilaksanakan lebih efektif dan efisien memandangkan program MBI ini akan diteruskan sehingga 2025 seperti yang digariskan dalam Pelan Pembangunan Pendidikan Malaysia (PPPM 2013-2025).   This study was conducted to see the level of input and process relevance in the implementation of the English Strengthening Program (MBI) in the urban and rural primary schools in Kelantan. This study is also important to make the program implemented in parallel with the Treasury Bill’s instructions. 2/2012 which is in eff ect ie the Outcome Based Budget (OBB). This quantitative study involved the use of questionnaires and was distributed randomly to urban and rural primary school teachers and involved 297 teachers from 62 schools as samples for this study. However, this article discusses only the suitability of the program. This study involves independent t-test analysis used to see the diff erences in the suitability of inputs in the MBI program in school. While the ANOVA test is to see the diff erence in the experience of teachers teaching BI in schools. The findings show that the degree of suitability of the MBI program is moderate, the study also found that there is no diff erence between the suitability of Inputs in urban primary and rural primary schools. Overall, the MBI program is suitable for all schools. However, this decision will be more encouraging if improvements are made immediately to the program. This study is important to ensure that the MBI program implemented more eff ectively and effi ciently given the MBI program will continue until 2025 as outlined in the National Education Blueprint (PPPM 2013-2025).

This descriptive-comparative research determined the teachers' level of competence and extent of the resolution of issues in the preparation of English for Specific Purposes instructional materials in terms of availability of facilities for authenticity, training of teachers, and curricular decision. A researcher-made instrument was employed to gather data from purposively sampled 41 English Teachers in a public senior high school. Using the frequency and percentage, mean, t-test, and one-way ANOVA in analyzing the results, findings revealed that the teachers' level of competence, when taken as a whole and grouped according to demographic variables, has a high level. The high level of competence can be attributed to teachers' training workshops. Meanwhile, the extent of the resolution of issues is moderate. The findings signify that stakeholders involved should always initiate certain programs for the continuous provision of instructional materials and design training-workshops to improve the level of competence and preparedness of the English teachers.

Introduction: Enamel demineralisation is often seen in patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment because appliances create retentive areas around the brackets leading to food debris accumulation. The method of ligation is also an additional factor in causing plaque accumulation leading to demineralisation around the brackets. Aim: The present study aims to compare enamel demineralisation around self-ligation brackets and conventional ligation brackets at the 3rd month and 12th month of orthodontic treatment using laser fluorescence. Materials and Methods: The present prospective study aims to compare enamel demineralisation around self-ligation brackets (Damon 3mx) and conventional ligation brackets (Gemini 3M) at the 3rd month and 12th month of orthodontic treatment using laser fluorescence. Nineteen subjects who were scheduled for fixed orthodontic treatment were selected for the study and were divided into two groups that is conventional ligation and passive self-ligation. Diagnodent (DD) was used to take enamel demineralisation scores at the time of bonding (T0), 3 months (T1) and 12 months (T2) into treatment. All statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS version 20. Chi-square test was performed to find the gender association, One-way ANOVA test was carried out to evaluate the difference of DD scores at time period T0, T1 and T2 in self-ligation group and conventional ligation group and Independent t-test was carried out to evaluate the difference of DD scores between self-ligation brackets and conventional ligation at T0, T1 and T2. Results: One-way ANOVA test reported that in conventional ligation groups there was a statistically significant difference in the mean DD scores between T0 and T1, T0 and T2 (p<0.05). Similarly, in the self-ligation group, a statistically significant difference was observed in the mean DD score between T0 and T1, T0 and T2 (p<0.05). Independent t-test to evaluate the difference of mean DD scores between self-ligation brackets and conventional ligation at T2 was found to be statistically non-significant (p>0.05). No gender association was noted. Conclusion: The method of ligation did not influence enamel demineralisation around orthodontic brackets.

Evidence-based practice (EBP) that is supported by the availability of the best literature can improve the quality of health services. Information and communication technology (ICT) usage may provide the evidence in timely-manner. However, literature on the factors related to EBP and ICT of doctors and nurses in Indonesia is scant. This study aimed to describe the factors related to the doctors’ and nurses’ EBP perception and ICT. This survey was conducted in November 2017–January 2018 at one general hospital, five private hospitals, eleven public health centers, and five private clinics. A total of 85 doctors and 271 nurses selected by proportional probability sampling were given online questionnaires. Each questionnaire consisted of 12 items about access to information and 24 items about perception of EBP adopted from the evidence-based practice questionnaire Upton & Upton. Pearson correlation, independent t-test analysis, and one-way ANOVA results found education and role were related to the doctors’ EBP. Education, role, age, and experience were related to the doctors’ ICT. There was a relationship between age and education with the nurses EBP. These two factors and working experience were related to the nurses’ ICT. EBP intervention through ICT may take into account the nature of experienced senior doctors and young inexperience nurses with higher education in the ICT platform. Advocacy is needed to increase the use of ICTs for EBP and professional development. Further research related to the need of knowledge translation through ICT should be conducted.  Abstrak  Faktor-faktor yang Berhubungan dengan Persepsi Dokter dan Perawat terhadap Praktik Klinis Berbasis Bukti dan Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi. Praktik klinis berbasis bukti (PKBB) yang ditunjang dengan ketersediaan literatur terbaik dapat meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan kesehatan. Penggunaan Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) menyediakan bukti ilmiah dalam waktu yang singkat. Namun, literature tentang faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan PKBB dan TIK dokter dan perawat di Indonesia masih sedikit. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan persepsi PKBB dan TIK dokter dan perawat. Survei ini dilaksanakan pada November 2017–Januari 2018 di satu rumah sakit umum, lima rumah sakit swasta, sebelas puskesmas, dan lima klinik swasta. Sebanyak 85 dokter dan 271 perawat yang dipilih dengan sampel proportional probability diberikan kuesioner daring. Kuesioner terdiri dari 12 pertanyaan tentang akses informasi dan 24 pernyataan tentang persepsi PKBB yang diadopsi dari evidence-based practice questionnaire Upton & Upton. Hasil analisis Pearson correlation, independent T-test dan one-way ANOVA menemukan hubungan antara pendidikan dan peran dengan PKBB dokter, serta pendidikan, peran, usia dan pengalaman kerja berhubungan dengan TIK dokter. Ada hubungan antara umur dan pendidikan dengan PPKB perawat. Kedua faktor dan pengalaman kerja ini terkait dengan TIK perawat. Intervensi PPKB melalui TIK dapat mempertimbangkan karakter dokter senior berpengalaman dan perawat muda yang pendidikan tinggi namun belum berpengalaman dengan platform TIK. Advokasi diperlukan untuk meningkatkan pemanfaatan TIK untuk PPKB dan pengembangan profesional. Penelitian lebih lanjut terkait kebutuhan penerjemahan pengetahuan melalui TIK harus dilakukan. Kata Kunci: dokter, perawat, persepsi, praktik klinis berbasis ilmiah, teknologi informasi komunikasi
