: Education deals with enlightening people and developing human resources. The reasecher concluded that cultural background of students influences their learning attitude in the school. Therefore, the developing learning process of Natural Sciences insist student to elaborate principles of Natural Sciences without ignoring cultural valuesof local community. The policy of decentralization of Indonesian Government had authorized and legitimated local authorities to develop curriculum based on the local cultures. To do so, each local government through the officers of Education has to create a curiculum by involving some curriculum experts, instructures, natural sciences theachers, and the lectures of universities who adequately understand learning model of Natural Sciences.

Purpose This paper aims to propose a “Four-F (finding facts, fostering alternates, fulfilling implementation and feasibility testing)” action plan to global food service businesses (FSB) such as restaurants (dine-in/take away) to build resilience during times of global crises. The 2019 Coronavirus disease and FSBs apply as working examples elaborating the proposed Four-F action plan with several managerial implications for the internal and external stakeholders of FSBs. Design/methodology/approach The method involves reviewing and coding 108 articles using the PRISMA approach, then applying findings to develop the Four-F action plan integrating multiple theoretical concepts (such as stakeholder, crisis management and dynamic capabilities). Findings There are two key findings. First, though all four crisis phases should be considered by decision-makers as part of their contingency planning process, the pre and post-crisis stages need higher attention. Second, the Four-F action plan provides specific recommendations to FSBs stakeholders (consumers, suppliers and government) for each crisis phase (pre-crisis, crisis emergence, crisis occurrence and post-crisis). Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first paper that has incorporated multiple theoretical frameworks (stakeholder theory, crisis management and dynamic capabilities) within the FSBs context and provided the Four-F action plan for decision-makers to understand and manage crisis phases.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate biofeedback(BFB)responses to rehabilitation techniques and physical exercises in incontinent or partially continent anorectal malformations patients after posterior sagital anorectoplasty (PSARP). DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: Pediatric Surgery - Department of Surgery - UNIFESP-EPM. PATIENTS:The authors report on 14 patients with anorectal malformations (4 with partial fecal incontinence after primary PSARP; 6 with fecal incontinence after primary PSARP; 3 with partial fecal incontinence after secondary PSARP; and 1 with fecal incontinence after secondary PSARP). All patients were rehabilitated via a BFB program of exercises in order to improve the function of the anal sphincteric muscular complex for a period of 1 -3 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Clinical and manometric control. RESULTS: After BFB, of 4 partially continent patients after primary PSARP, 3 became continent; of 6 incontinent patients after primary PSARP, 4 became continent; of 3 partially continent patients after secondary PSARP, 1 became continent,1 showed no improvement and 1 became incontinent (infection + abscess + fibrosis + important anorectal stenosis). The incontinent patient after secondary PSARP showed no improvement. CONCLUSION: The authors concluded that BFB, used at the appropriate time with patient collaboration, is an important complement to the anatomical reconstruction of anorectal malformations in order to achieve good development and contractile functioning of the sphincteric muscular complex.

Planning Implementation

The framework for developing the learning process includes three main activities, namely planning, implementation and evaluation. The learning planning process that must be carried out by an educator includes the following main activities: 1. Make an annual program 2. Make a syllabus 3. Make a semester program4. Make a learning implementation plan 5. Make a test/evaluation program. Of the five elements mentioned above, the syllabus and lesson plans are the minimum preparation for an educator when they want to teach. Based on the results of the analysis in the 2019/2020 school year at MTsN 10 Tanah Datar, there is a problem with the low quality of some educators who make lesson plans, especially the preparation of syllabus and lesson plans. To solve the problem of the weak performance of educators, a study was conducted to see how far the academic supervision of the madrasah principal can improve the competence of educators in preparing the syllabus and lesson plans. This mini research was carried out using the madrasah action research method which lasted for 2 cycles. Each cycle consists of stages of planning, implementation, observation and reflection. The results showed that continuous academic supervision has been scientifically proven to improve the competence of educators in preparing syllabus and lesson plans at MTsN 10 Tanah Datar. By increasing the competence of educators in compiling the syllabus and lesson plans, it is hoped that academic supervision activities will continue to be carried out regularly and educators will always be proactive in improving their competencies

Exercises of the crisis management authorities, which test and verify both plans and capabilities, form part of the crisis preparedness. This article deals with the preparation and implementation of the exercise of crisis management authorities in the Czech Republic. The first part of the article deals with the preparation and putting into practice of crisis preparedness training using software and simulation tools and selected modules, tested at the gas supplies breakdown of large scale. Next part of the article focuses on the training of the crisis management bodies, describing all preparation and implementation phases. The results of the exercise were applied in an evaluation, which detected problems in the field of crisis communication. The exercises tested a simulator, which is being developed. This simulator allowed to record communication and thereby to create conditions similar to the real situation. Simulation has a considerable impact on preparedness due to the possibility to test and verify plans and capabilities of included bodies, identify deficiencies and create an environment for improvements.

State And Local

The anti-crisis management of rural municipalities is an organized special management, based on a set of specific management decisions taken by the governing bodies of institutions and organizations, state and local authorities in the context of resource constraints and increased risk. Monitoring the results of the crisis management of rural municipalities is aimed at tracking its condition and financial performance. The purpose of the crisis management of rural municipalities is to restore their livelihoods and the withdrawal from the crisis of enterprises, institutions, organizations that provide services to the rural population. The nature of changes in the crisis management process was assessed taking into account: the full coverage of the areas of project and event management, the pace of change, the degree of achievement of goals, and the growth of economic indicators. The study developed the basic provisions for improving the information system of crisis management of rural municipalities. The information support system includes: a list of indicators for assessing the course of crisis management, requirements for a data bank. The structure of the information system and the network model of the possibility of creating an agricultural cluster based on rural municipalities are proposed. The proposed information system serves and interconnects, in the mode of interaction, local authorities, scientific and educational unit, functional departmental systems: tax, statistical, environmental protection, rural infrastructure and others. It makes it possible to create a cluster of rural municipalities in a less costly and more coordinated way. The main idea of evaluating and adjusting crisis management is to comprehensively examine the interrelationships of the parameters of the tariff, tax, investment and subsidy policies, taking into account the transformations in the management system of rural municipalities.
