This article examines the relationship between learning and behavioural evaluation among religious officers in Malaysia after attending the Manual on HIV/AIDS in Islam Training Programmes organized by the Islamic Development Department of Malaysia (JAKIM). The training programmes were implemented to deliver the most accurate and the latest information on HIV / AIDS as well as to train religious officers in Malaysia to address the issues among Muslims. The training programmes apply the theoretical and practical activities where participants had the opportunity to carry out outreach activities with People Living with HIV / AIDS (ODHA). Quantitative methods through questionnaires were used to obtain data. A total of 350 religious officers who had attended the training programmes were selected as respondents by simple random sampling technique. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between the learning and behavioural evaluation. The results of the Pearson correlation analysis found that there was a significant relationship between learning evaluation in terms of the information obtained from programmes’ contents and behaviour evaluation with r = 0.489 and sig = 0.000 (p <0.05) at the medium positive range.. While the relationship between learning evaluation in terms of the information obtained from outreach activities with behavioural evaluation showed a strong positive correlation with the strength values obtained were r = 0.539 and sig = 0.000 (p <0.05). This analysis shows that the information acquired through the training program Manual Islam and HIV / AIDS has been successful in changing the behaviour of religious officers’ awareness in terms of the role of dakwah to ODHA.

Academic stress in students will arise when there is pressure for achievement both in the learning process and the interaction process in school. Academic stress is caused by the inability of students to process perceptions so that the achievement of the learning process is considered as academic demands that exceed the limits of their abilities and also the students' uncertainty about events in their lives can be controlled by themselves. This study aims to determine the relationship of internal locus of control and academic stress of students of SMAN 2 Cimahi. The subject of this research is the students of SMAN 2 Cimahi in the academic year 2018/2019. Measuring instruments in this study were academic stress scale (49 items; α = 0.875) and internal locus of control scale (30 items; α = 0.618). The method of data analysis in this study is Pearson correlation analysis. The results of Pearson correlation analysis based on the significance value p = 0.00 <0.05, which means that there is a relationship between internal locus of control and academic stress. The results of a simple correlation analysis (r) obtained a correlation between internal locus of control and academic stress of 0.610. This means that there is a strong relationship between internal locus of control and academic stress, while the direction of the relationship is positively significant, which means that the higher the internal locus of control, the academic stress will be lower. Internal locus of control effectively contributed 37.2% to academic stress, while 62.8% was determined by other variables not examined in this study.

The study group consisted of totally 207 fight sport athletes, 88 females and 119 males with age  = 21,99 ± 4,92 and year of sport  = 6,14 ± 5,42. “The Scale of Moral Disengagement in Sport” and “The Questionnaire of Buss-Perry Aggression” were used as data collection tools. Descriptive statistics, t test, ANOVA and Pearson Correlation analysis were used in the analysis of data. While the mean of physical aggression of athletes was found as the highest, verbal aggression had the lowest mean value within the sub-dimensions of aggression, and they stated that they somewhat disagreed with the moral disengagement. It was found that there was a moderate positive significant correlation between moral disengagement and sub-dimensions of anger, hostility, physical and verbal aggressions of aggression scale. Significant difference was observed in the dimension of moral disengagement in accordance with age and year of sport. Physical and verbal aggression scores of males are significantly higher according to gender. The aggression and moral disengagement scores of kickboxers are significantly higher than those of taekwondo athletes in line with the branch. To conclude, it was determined that fight sport athletes did not approve moral disengagement in sport, however, the case of moral disengagement of athletes, who were younger and started the sport recently, was higher and they mostly showed the behaviour of aggression physically.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the cross-lagged relationships between academic procrastination and test anxiety. A sample of Chinese adolescents from a high school in Changsha City, HuNan Province, China participated in this study. The participants completed the Aitken Procrastination Inventory and the Test Anxiety Scale at two times during a semester. Pearson correlation analysis showed academic procrastination and test anxiety to be positively correlated. Cross-lagged panel analyses demonstrated that academic procrastination at Time 1 predicted test anxiety at Time 2, while test anxiety at Time 1 did not predict academic procrastination at Time 2. Within the limits of the design, we found that academic procrastination may lead to an increase in test anxiety, but test anxiety did not predict the future level of academic procrastination. It is recognised that the relationship between anxiety and procrastination is complicated. It is suggested that a focus on interventions for academic procrastination may help to reduce students’ test anxiety, but not necessarily vice versa.

The study shows that shallot farming income from cash costs and total costs Rp15.142.901,83/hectare and Rp4.002.020,84/hectare, respectively. Therefore coefficient of variation of income risk is 1,02 indicating that the risk of farming is very high. The relationship between revenue risk and revenue level is quite close. The shallot farming is technically efficient yet. The factors that significantly affecting technical efficiency are farming costs, revenue, and revenue risk.Key words: efficiency, farmers, revenue, risk, shallot.
