Character is something that is reflected in human beings through their words, actions and movements in daily life. Good characters are expected by everyone. Indonesia has sparked 18 national character values that must be owned by its citizens. Characters will be formed through daily habituation that is done consistently, exemplary and repetitive. One environment that helps the development of children's character is the school environment, where habituation in the school environment must be in line with habituation in the home environment and community environment. This article was written to look at how the school environment can help in character development, by taking one of the schools that focuses on students' character education, namely the character school in the Indonesia Heritage Foundation (IHF) Depok, in terms of its education management and education model.

Ganglionic Transmission

Over the last 20 years there has been a marked increase in the understanding of the biophysical properties of neurones in autonomic ganglia. During the same time period, there have been advances in immunohistochemistry which have shown that the autonomic ganglia are rich sources of a variety of neuroactive peptides and monoamines. Although physiological studies have underlined the role of enteric and prevertebral ganglia in the control of peristalsis and micturition, very little is known about the physiological role of many of the other autonomic ganglia.The objective of the International Brain Research Organization satellite symposium held in Edmonton, Alberta, during August 1991, was to bring together the biophysicists, morphologists, physiologists, and pharmacologists to evaluate the current status of our understanding of the autonomic ganglia. Posters and four sessions of invited talks were presented over a three-day period. The papers that appear in this issue detail the content of some of these talks.The organizers gratefully acknowledge the financial support provided by the Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research, the Medical Research Council of Canada, Astra Pharma Inc., the University of Alberta Conference Fund, Nordic Laboratories, Merck Frosst Canada, Axon Instruments, Novopharm Ltd., Bio-Méga Inc., Chembiomed, Newport Instruments, the City of Edmonton, Charles River Canada, and Mandel Scientific.

Self Harm

Objective: Self-harm is closely associated with suicide in older adults and may provide opportunity to intervene to prevent suicide. This study aimed to systematically review recent evidence for three components of aftercare for older adults: (1) referral pathways, (2) assessment tools and safety planning approaches and (3) engagement and intervention strategies. Methods: Databases PubMed, Medline, PsychINFO, Embase and CINAHL were searched from January 2010 to 10 July 2021 by two reviewers. Empirical studies reporting aftercare interventions for older adults (aged 60+) following self-harm (including with suicidal intent) were included. Full text of articles with abstracts meeting inclusion criteria were obtained and independently reviewed by three authors to determine final studies for review. Two reviewers extracted data and assessed level of evidence (Oxford) and quality ratings (Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research Standard Quality Assessment Criteria for quantitative and Attree and Milton checklist for qualitative studies), working independently. Results: Twenty studies were reviewed (15 quantitative; 5 qualitative). Levels of evidence were low (3, 4), and quality ratings of quantitative studies variable, although qualitative studies rated highly. Most studies of referral pathways were observational and demonstrated marked variation with no clear guidelines or imperatives for community psychiatric follow-up. Of four screening tools evaluated, three were suicide-specific and one screened for depression. An evidence-informed approach to safety planning was described using cases. Strategies for aftercare engagement and intervention included two multifaceted approaches, psychotherapy and qualitative insights from older people who self-harmed, carers and clinicians. The qualitative studies identified targets for improved aftercare engagement, focused on individual context, experiences and needs. Conclusion: Dedicated older-adult aftercare interventions with a multifaceted, assertive follow-up approach accompanied by systemic change show promise but require further evaluation. Research is needed to explore the utility of needs assessment compared to screening and evaluate efficacy of safety planning and psychotherapeutic approaches.
