Little is known about traditional bone setting (TBS) practise in Aceh, Indonesia despite of its common utilisation. The aim of this study was to explore the characteristics of TBS practise in Aceh, Indonesia. Thirty-nine participants from ten regencies in Aceh were interviewed from January to December 2019. Most of the participants were male (82.1%), and aged between 31-50 years old (79,5%). Half of the participants were elementary school graduates (51,3%). More than half (59%) of participants had been practicing bone setting for 5-10 years, and many of them (48.7%) used traditional massages combined with splints and herbal mixtures. None (0%) of the participant obtained legal permission to practice bone setting. More than half (71.8%) obtained the knowledge of TBS from their ancestral heritage, only one participant obtained it through apprenticeships. We concluded that TBS practices in Aceh were unregistered, and the practitioners were mostly untrained. There is a need to provide training and permits for TBS practise to ensure patients’ safety.

Hearing Problems

The teachers of 2231 elementary school children were asked to identify those with known or suspected hearing problems. Following screening, the data were compared. Teachers identified 5% of the children as hearing-impaired, while screening identified only 3%. There was agreement between the two procedures on 1%. Subsequent to the teacher interviews, rescreening and tympanometry were conducted. These procedures indicated that teacher screening and tympanometry were in agreement on 2% of the total sample or 50% of the hearing-loss group. It was concluded that teachers could supplement audiometry, particularly when otoscopy and typanometry are not available.

Resource Program

In 1972 a program was developed in Montgomery County Public Schools, Maryland, to provide daily resource remediation to elementary school-age children with language handicaps. In accord with the Maryland’s guidelines for language and speech disabilities, the general goal of the program was to provide remediation that enabled children with language problems to increase their abilities in the comprehension or production of oral language. Although self-contained language classrooms and itinerant speech-language pathology programs existed, the resource program was designed to fill a gap in the continuum of services provided by the speech and language department.

Classroom teachers were asked to list the traits they felt were characteristic of the elementary school child who wears a hearing aid. These listings were evaluated according to the desirability of the traits and were studied regarding frequency of occurrence, desirability, and educational, emotional, and social implications. The results of the groupings are discussed in terms of pre-service and in-service training.

Context Dependent

Changing environmental context during encoding can influence episodic memory. This study examined the memorial consequences of environmental context change in children. Kindergartners, first and fourth graders, and young adults studied two lists of items, either in the same room (no context change) or in two different rooms (context change), and subsequently were tested on the two lists in the room in which the second list was encoded. As expected, in adults, the context change impaired recall of the first list and improved recall of the second. Whereas fourth graders showed the same pattern of results as adults, in both kindergartners and first graders no memorial effects of the context change arose. The results indicate that the two effects of environmental context change develop contemporaneously over middle childhood and reach maturity at the end of the elementary school days. The findings are discussed in light of both retrieval-based and encoding-based accounts of context-dependent memory.
