Public health guidelines advise eating regular meals without defining “regular.” This study constructed a meaning for “regular” meals congruent with dietary quality. Parents of 4th grade youth in a school-based intervention (Clinicaltrials.gov NCT02491294) completed three, ASA24 online 24-h dietary recalls. Differences in time of intake across days for breakfasts, lunches, dinners were categorized with consistency denoted as always, often/sometimes or rarely/never and assigned values of 3, 2 or 1, respectively. Meal-specific values were summed to form mealtime regularity scores (mReg) ranging from 3 (low) to 9. Healthy eating index (HEI) scores were compared to mReg controlling for weekday/weekend recall pattern. Linear regression predicted HEI scores from mReg. Parents (n = 142) were non-Hispanic white (92%), female (88%) and educated (73%). One mReg version, mReg1 was significantly associated with total HEI, total fruit, whole fruit, tended to correlate with total protein, seafood/plant protein subcomponents. mReg1 predicted total HEI (p = 0.001) and was inversely related to BMI (p = 0.04). A score of three (always) was awarded to breakfasts, lunches or dinners with day-to-day differences of 0–60 min; also, lunches/dinners with one interval of 60–120 min when two meals were ≤60 min apart. More rigid mReg versions were not associated with dietary quality.

School Based Interventions

With the significant decrease in physical activity rates, the importance of intervention programs in the schools, where children spend a significant part of the day, has become indisputable. The purpose of this review is to systematically examine the possibility of school-based interventions on promoting physical activity and physical fitness as well as preventing obesity. A systematic approach adopting PRISMA statement was implemented in this study. Three different databases (2010–2019) were screened and primary and secondary school-based intervention programs measuring at least one variable of obesity, physical activity, or physical fitness were included. The risk of bias was assessed using the validated quality assessment tool for quantitative studies. Among 395 potentially related studies, 19 studies were found to meet the eligibility criteria. A general look at the studies examined reveals that among the outcomes, of which most (18/19) were examined, a significant improvement was provided in at least one of them. When the program details are examined, it can be said that the success rate of the physical activity-oriented programs is higher in all variables. School-based interventions can have important potential for obesity prevention and promotion of physical activity and fitness if they focus more on the content, quality, duration and priority of the physical activity.

This chapter on “Failing My Way to Success” offers an “in the trenches” account of social entrepreneurship drawn from the 2015 memoir Failing My Way to Success: Life Lessons of an Entrepreneur. The book chronicles personal and professional disappointments, betrayals, and bankruptcies from which grew the author’s hard-won lessons of failure and the climb back to success. These lessons range from business best-practices to interpersonal skills to philosophical truths, but at their heart lie two ancient principles. The first warns against self-deception, expressed as the axiom “know thyself” and is perhaps the toughest challenge that the beginning entrepreneur faces. The second is the Jewish concept of tikkun olam—“repair of the world”—the belief that we bear responsibility not only for ourselves and our immediate circle but for the world at large. This essay argues that perhaps the most important definition of “success” is the capacity both of means and spirit to fulfill this command.

The dichotomy of secular science and religious science changes the mindset of the Muslim community in religion. From the classical period, which saw Islam as a comprehensive teaching, it has turned into an understanding that views Islam as a religion that is only ritual oriented. It is understood that education is a process that has continuity and is consciously carried out to prepare a generation that has balanced knowledge and values. On the other hand, the negative impact of modern life cannot be avoided by modern humans, especially from the aspect of education. For this reason, various elements in education must continue to maintain existing linkages to achieve predetermined goals. Low participation and public concern for the advancement of the world of education must end, along with the realization of the concept of school based management or SBM. Another aspect that must be prepared is the quality of teachers. Conceptually, teachers have three functions, namely cognitive, moral and innovative. In order to become an ideal figure in Indonesia, teachers must meet eight indicators, namely theological principles, formal principles, functional principles, cultural principles, comprehensiveness principles, substantial principles, social principles and identity principles.
