Akseptabilitas Orang Tua Terhadap Anak Berkebutuhan Khusus di Kota Yogyakarta (Studi Kasus Pada Lembaga Federasi Komunikasi Keluarga Penyandang Disabilitas)

This study aims to determine the stages of acceptability, acceptability aspects, and acceptability factors of parents to children with special needs in the city of Yogyakarta.The subjects of this study were parents and families of children with special needs. Subject selection using purposive sampling. The object of the research is the acceptability of parents who have special needs and are members of the Federation of Family Communities with Disabilities (FKKPD). This research is a qualitative research with collection techniques through interviews and documentation, data credibility test using reference materials, and interactive model data analysis techniques (data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions).The results showed that parents had reached the stage of acceptability (accepting) their children with special needs, by going through several stages of denial (denial), anger (anger), bargaining (bargaining), depression (depression) and acceptance (acceptance). This can be seen from the acceptance aspects and is supported by the acceptance factors of parents. However, there is one parent who does not accept their child with special needs.

Restructuring the Civic Education Paradigm in Indian Schools: Measures to Cultivate a Generation of Responsible Citizens

Political science as a subject is integral to the development of sensible and patriotic citizens, yet it is not given the attention it deserves in the Indian education system. Solidified by the findings of field research conducted in five schools that cater to India’s middle-income bracket (the largest segment of the population), this research paper brings forth the reluctance of over 92% of the representative sample to undertake education in a discipline as important as political science- a distressing figure indeed. The sample involved random selection of students of grade 11 in the five schools mentioned herewith; qualitative research was obtained through anonymous questionnaires allowing a safe space for truthful responses, and quantitative data were obtained through access to the schools’ records pertaining to subject selection for grades 11-12. This paper will highlight some of the current deficiencies in the system, undertake a comparative study of how it stands vis-à-vis those of European countries, and arrive at recommendations to the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) and to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on how to improve civic education among high school students in the country, eventually fostering a moral and capable Indian generation.

The Role of Teachers in Career Guidance of Students at Secondary Level in Pakistan

Secondary education decides students' career paths, and teachers at this level play an important role in students' career guidance by assisting them in subject selection and providing career knowledge. Given the importance of teachers in secondary school students' career guidance, the study looked into the role of secondary school teachers in secondary school students' career guidance. The study's goals were to determine the role of teachers in secondary school career guidance and to suggest strategies for secondary school students' career guidance. The study population was 3,247 high-school students from the Swat district, with a sample of 346 students chosen using simple random sampling for data collection. The information was gathered using a self-made questionnaire and evaluated using mean ratings, standard deviation, and the chi-square test. They discovered that teachers play an important role in secondary school career guidance because they serve as role models for students, identify students' career aspirations and abilities, assist in the integration of students' aspirations and potentials, assist in the subject selection, provide career guidance, identify potential careers, and provide career information and requirements. The study also suggested that teachers' capacity for providing career guidance at the secondary level be developed and the inclusion of career guidance subjects at the secondary level.

Knowledge of Biobehavioral Organization Can Facilitate Better Science: A Review of the BioBehavioral Assessment Program at the California National Primate Research Center

Animals vary on intrinsic characteristics such as temperament and stress responsiveness, and this information can be useful to experimentalists for identifying more homogeneous subsets of animals that show consistency in risk for a particular research outcome. Such information can also be useful for balancing experimental groups, ensuring animals within an experiment have similar characteristics. In this review, we describe the BioBehavioral Assessment Program at the California National Primate Research Center, which, since its inception in 2001, has been providing quantitative information on intrinsic characteristics to scientists for subject selection and balancing, and to colony management staff for management purposes. We describe the program and review studies relating to asthma, autism, behavioral inhibition, etc., where the BBA Program was used to select animals. We also review our work, showing that factors such as rearing, ketamine exposure, and prenatal experience can affect biobehavioral organization in ways that some investigators might want to control for in their studies. Attention to intrinsic characteristics of subject populations is consistent with the growing interest in precision medicine and can lead to a reduction in animal numbers, savings in time and money for investigators, and reduced distress for the animals.

Risk factors of stunting in toddler aged 24-59 month

Stunting is a chronic condition that describes growth retardation due to long-term malnutrition. Prevalenced of stunting in Cempaka subdistrict in 2017 reached 51.25% and the stunting incidence was widely found in toddler aged 24 – 59 month. The purpose of study was to analyze the risk factors of stunting in toddler age 24 - 59 month in Cempaka subdistrict, Banjarbaru. The research was an observational analytic with case control approached. The sample was 200 peoples included mothers and toddlers aged 24-59 months according to the inclusion criteria. Subject selection by cluster random sampling for selected the group’s sample and simple random sampling for selected its sample. The data was tested using Chi Square and logistic regression at significance level α = 0.05. This analysis was performed to find the association of stunting with selected factors. The resulted of the multivariate analysis showed short birth’s length had (p=0.00; OR 14.1) and the age 24-36 month had (p=0.01; OR 1.6) while mother’s height, sex, socioeconomic status, parent’s educational status, mother’s age married, mother's malnutrition status, birth weight, exclusive breastfeeding and complementary food’s time is not a factor in stunting. The conclusion of this study that short birth’s length and aged 24 – 36 month are the most dominant risk factor of stunting in toddler aged 24 – 59 month.
