Patriotism Spirit Using New Media Among Youth in Malaysia

New media plays a role by emphasizing communication channels in conveying national information to enhance the patriotism spirit. The effect will also necessarily give an evolution to the cultivating patriotism spirit among the youth. Past studies have shown that the patriotism spirit among youth is very low and loose. Based on such factors, a study on the importance of new media in cultivating patriotism spirit is implemented to identify the real factors that influence youth to be more patriotic. Four aspects that influence the cultivating patriotism spirit are studied to see its relationship and influence to the youth. Factors studied are behavior, learning process, current environment and construction of patriotism values. This study is based on quantitative study that uses survey as a data collection technique while respondents are among the youths in Malaysia selected through stratified random sampling technique. The findings of the correlation and multiple regression tests conducted found that the new media had a profound influence towards patriotism spirit among youth. Also, there is a positive relationship between the four factors studied. The behavioral factor had a very high and significant relationship with the values (p <.01, r = 0.82). Multiple regression analysis showed that the four factors influenced the cultivating patriotism spirit (p <.01, R2 = 0.73) which is 73 percent. This also has implications from the aspect of the importance of new media through the dissemination of national information to increase the spirit of youth patriotism. Keywords: New media, cultivating, patriotism, importance, youth.

Perilaku Belajar, Minat Belajar dan Tingkat Pemahaman Akuntansi dengan Pembelajaran Daring sebagai Variabel Mediasi

This study aims to determine the effect of learning behavior and interest in learning on the level of understanding of accounting and the role of online learning in mediating the influence of learning behavior and interest in learning on the level of accounting comprehension. This research was conducted at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Udayana University. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling method, the number of samples obtained was 90 samples. The analysis technique used is path analysis. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that learning behavior had no significant effect on the level of accounting understanding of students. Interest in learning and online learning has a significant effect on the level of accounting understanding. Online learning is significantly able to mediate the effect of learning behavior and interest in learning on the level of accounting understanding of students. Keywords: Learning Behavior; Learning Interest; Online Learning; Accounting Understanding.

Elucidating the neural mechanisms of Learning-to-Learn

Learning-to-learn, a progressive acceleration of learning while solving a series of similar problems, represents a core process of knowledge acquisition that draws attention in both neuroscience and artificial intelligence. To investigate its underlying brain mechanism, we trained a recurrent neural network model on arbitrary sensorimotor mappings. The network displayed an exponential speedup in learning. The neural substrate of a schema emerges within a low-dimensional subspace of population activity. Its reuse in new problems facilitates learning by limiting connection weight changes. Since the population trajectory of a recurrent network produces behavior, learning is determined by the vector field changes. We propose a novel analysis of weight-driven vector field changes, which showed that novel stimuli in new problems can distort the schema representation. Weight changes eliminate such distortions and improve the invariance of the reused representations in future learning. The accumulation of such weight changes across problems underlies the learning-to-learn dynamics.

Epigenetic Modulation of Vasopressin Expression in Health and Disease

Vasopressin is a ubiquitous molecule playing an important role in a wide range of physiological processes thereby implicated in the pathomechanism of many disorders. Its effect is well characterized through V2 receptors, which regulates the water resorption in kidney, while its vasoconstrictory effect through V1a receptor also received a lot of attention in the maintenance of blood pressure during shock. However, the most striking is its central effect both through the V1b receptors in stress-axis regulation as well as through V1a receptors regulating many aspects of our behavior (e.g., social behavior, learning and memory). Vasopressin has been implicated in the development of depression, due to its connection with chronic stress, as well as schizophrenia because of its involvement in social interactions and memory processes. Epigenetic changes may also play a role in the development of these disorders. The possible mechanism includes DNA methylation, histone modification and/or micro RNAs, and these possible regulations will be in the focus of our present review.

Penerapan model pembelajaran OIDDE untuk meningkatkan keterampilan pembelajaran berbasis karakter pada guru pendidikan dasar dan menengah

The application of character values through classroom learning has not been maximal because teachers have difficulty choosing the right learning model. The OIDDE (Orientation, Identify, Discussion, Decision, and Engage in Behavior) learning model is appropriate to implement. This article aims to describe the implementation of teacher assistance activities in developing character values through learning by applying the OIDDE learning model. The subjects of the service were 12 teachers at SD / MI levels, 12 teachers from SMP / MTs, and 15 teachers at SMA / SMK / MA levels from 39 schools in Batu City, East Java. The activity was carried out for 6 months using the Forum Group Discussion (FGD) method, workshops, hands-on practice, outreach, and evaluation. The evaluation of community service is carried out thoroughly, from the process to the output, especially the seriousness of the teacher in participating in the activities to the skills in applying the model. The results of the process evaluation show that, the service activity is carried out well, the average attendance is 85%, and as many as 100% of the teachers become the Master Teacher model. OIDDE learning, and has the right to provide tutors with OIDDE learning models.

Methods and approaches used in teaching children with autism spectrum disorder (ASP)

Vestibular rehabilitation, carried out from an early age, plays an important role in the development and education of children with ASD. In teaching ASP an important role is played by the game. The method of therapy is widely used here. It is a system of corrective tools that develop communication skills, adapted behavior, learning skills in order to help achieve social behavior. The therapy is carried out individually at home according to a special program. With the correct formulation of the method of therapy, the implementation of other types of education and training, mental, moral, laborious, aesthetic, is considered an effective result. Key words: autism spectrum disorder, training, methods, therapy, skills

Master of Research in Psychology Applied to Education: Research Projects. Generation 2017-2019

The objective of this study was to analyze the research projects presented by MIPAE students of the 2017-2019 generation. A non-probabilistic sample of 18 students who presented research summaries for the XV Research Colloquium of the Multiregional Network of Quality Master's Programs in Psychology was studied. Procedure. Ex post facto study of a single group to determine the characteristics of the summary presented as an academic element during the training process to carry out research activities. It was found that most of the abstracts correspond to 67% the behavioral approach. The projects are mostly focus on the educational field where: 38% corresponds to Basic Education. It is identified a very wide range of the objects of study of the diverse research from the students: Behavior modification training to teachers from primary education, Musical learning behavior, Parenting patterns and child disruptive behavior, Learning of competences of research, among others.The research projects of the MIPAE students are developed under two psychological approaches: behavioral and inter-behavioral.
