The purpose of this study is to identify the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka and obstacles in the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka at SMP Negeri 1 Banuhampu. The study of the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka at SMP Negeri 1 Banuhampu can be carried out using a qualitative approach with a descriptive research method. The data collection technique uses observation, interview, and documentary research techniques to collect data from participants (including principals, curriculum representatives and teachers) involved in the implementation of the self-directed learning program at SMP Negeri 1 Remaja. Data analysis is carried out qualitatively consisting of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that the Kurikulum Merdeka has been implemented as expected. However, in its implementation, teachers need guidance, including attending training sessions at schools to learn more about the Kurikulum Merdeka and continuing to activate the learning community to identify shortcomings and things that need to be improved. In learning, the teachers have carried out the learning process according to the Kurikulum Merdeka and prepared learning tools starting from Learning Outcomes (CP), Learning Objectives Flow (ATP), Learning Objectives (TP), and teaching modules. Obstacles in the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka are human resources who do not understand the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka and inadequate facilities and infrastructure at SMP Negri 1 Banuhampu so that it slows down the learning process in the classroom.

Implementation of Differentiated Learning in Identifying Sentence Structures for Fifth Grade Elementary School Students: Analysis of Obstacles and Implementation Solutions

Differentiated learning in fifth-grade elementary schools in the Untung Surapati cluster, East Denpasar District, has not yet been maximized. Teachers face challenges in implementing differentiated learning when teaching sentence structure. This issue needs to be examined to determine solutions that can be used in sentence structure teaching. The methods used for data collection include observation, interviews, and document analysis. The challenges faced by teachers include: 1) limited teaching staff. To address this, students are divided into several groups. 2) Difficulty understanding the concept of sentence structure. To overcome this difficulty, teachers can use the picture-and-picture method with the assistance of keywords. 3) Limited teaching time. This can be addressed by collaborating with fellow teachers in developing teaching materials. 4) With a large number of students, implementing cooperative learning can be a solution to handling large classes. 5) Teachers' skills in implementing differentiated learning are not yet optimal. Teachers are given opportunities to attend training sessions. 6) Each student has different needs, interests, and skill levels. To address this, teachers create flexible assessment rubrics. 7) Teachers use various teaching approaches to meet the diverse needs of students. Adjusting assessments to different teaching approaches becomes a challenge for teachers. Teachers should create assessment instruments based on the methods applied in teaching.

Saudi physiotherapists' attitudes, knowledge, behaviors, and barriers towards evidence-based practice: A cross-sectional study

Background and objective: At present, there is limited knowledge about the determinants of evidence-based practice (EBP) among Saudi physiotherapists. So, this study investigated the attitudes, knowledge, behaviors and perceived barriers of Saudi physiotherapists regarding EBP. Methods: A sample of 323 physiotherapists completed an EBP questionnaire, which was designed to cover six domains of EBP; Attitudes and beliefs, interest, attention to literature, information availability, educational background, and its barriers. Results: The participants concurred that EBP is essential (91%), literature helps practice (75%). EBP enhances patient care (80%), reimbursement rates (82%), and aids in decision-making (75%). They discovered that EBP does not consider patient preferences (37%) or the constraints of the clinical practice (71%). They were interested in enhancing their abilities (80%). They needed to use evidence more frequently in daily work (74%). Seventy-six percent having access to professional publications, and 80% have online access to EBP guidelines. Seventy-one percent disagree that their workplace encouraged the EBP usage. Fifty-one percent had not learned the EBP's fundamentals. Sixty percent had not attended training sessions on finding research, 75% were not confident in their capacity to evaluate professional literature, and locate pertinent research to address clinical concerns (62%). Conclusion: The Saudi physiotherapists have a generally positive attitude toward EBP and are interested in increasing its usage in their practices. However, their attention to literature was relatively low. They need for training sessions for using data base. The lack of time was the most important barrier to EBP.

Simplified Workbook in Algebra for Grade 7 Learners

The study aimed to create a Simplified Workbook to improve the performance and retention of Grade 7 learners in Algebra at Solotsolot National High School. It addressed research questions about learner profiles, Algebra performance levels, relationships between profiles and performance, and competencies that were mastered or not. Using descriptive-correlational and descriptive-developmental designs, data was collected through the Test Result and Item Analysis Package (TRIAP) for the second quarter, with analysis using frequency count, percentage, mean, and correlational techniques. The findings showed varied learner profiles in terms of sex, parental education, socio-economic status, and study habits. The performance in Algebra was generally satisfactory, with a grand mean of 27.49, and only the occupation of the mother had a significant relationship with performance. Most Algebra competencies were not mastered, indicating the need for a simplified workbook. The study's conclusions highlighted the need for parental involvement, resource centers, and teacher training to enhance learning outcomes. Recommendations included cooperation between parents and schools to improve discipline and interest in school activities, the use of the Simplified Workbook in Algebra 7, and encouraging active participation in Mathematics-related activities. Additionally, it was suggested that Mathematics teachers attend training sessions to enhance their teaching strategies and consider setting up Mathematics Clubs. Future research could examine other factors affecting mastery of Algebra competencies, such as teaching methodologies, social media exposure, and teacher-related factors.

The Provision of Agricultural Extension Services to Rural Farmers as a Strategy to Improve Agricultural Practices in South Africa

The government of South Africa has shown a commitment to providing extensive support to farmers by providing agricultural extension services. This qualitative study on providing agricultural extension services to rural farmers to improve agricultural productivity was conducted in Msinga Local Municipality. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. Participants were sampled purposively, and data was analysed using content analysis. The agricultural extension officers played an important role in helping farmers with the provision of extension services, including seeds, manure, and the implementation of irrigation schemes and farm fencing. The extension services also included training and assisting farmers with vaccinating crops and livestock to protect them from diseases. Rural farmers were unable to attend training sessions and meetings organised by extension officers, and this has turned out to be a problem since farmers lack knowledge of farming methods and available information on possible financial assistance. There is a need to establish agricultural cooperatives that will liaise with agricultural extension officers and be able to communicate with other farmers when the officials are planning to meet with them for the provision of extension services.

Impact of specialized training for emergency department nurses screening or undetected HIV infection: the "Urgències VIHgila" project experience.

To evaluate the impact of specialized training for nurses on selective screening for undetected HIV infection in the emergency department. The intervention group was comprised of 6 emergency departments that had been participating in a screening program (the "Urgències VIHgila" project) for at least 3 months. Nurses on all shifts attended training sessions that emphasized understanding the circumstances that should lead to suspicion of unidentified HIV infection and the need to order serology. Two studies were carried out: 1) a quasi-experimental pre-post study to compare the number of orders for HIV serology in each time period and measures of sensitivity, and 2) a case-control study to compare the changes made in the 6 hospitals where specialized training was provided (cases) vs 6 control hospitals in the HIV screening program where no training was given. A total of 280 HIV serologies were ordered for the 81015 patients (0.3%) attended during the period before training; 331 serologies were ordered for the 79620 patients in the period after training (0.4%). The relative increase in serologies was 20.3% (95% CI, 2.9% to 34.5%; P = .022). The relative increase in measures of sensitivity ranged between 19% and 39%, consistent with the main comparison. Serologies in the control group decreased between periods, from 0.9% to 0.8%, indicating a relative decrease of 15.7% (95% CI, -25.1% to -6.2%; P = .001). The absolute number of patients tested in the training group was 0.2% higher in the training hospitals (95% CI, 0.11% to 0.31%; P .001) than in the control hospitals. Training nurses to screen for undetected HIV infection in the emergency department increased the number of patients tested, according to the pre-post and case-control comparisons.

“Influencing the influencers:” a field experimental approach to promoting effective mental health communication on TikTok

A substantial body of social scientific research considers the negative mental health consequences of social media use on TikTok. Fewer, however, consider the potentially positive impact that mental health content creators (“influencers”) on TikTok can have to improve health outcomes; including the degree to which the platform exposes users to evidence-based mental health communication. Our novel, influencer-led approach remedies this shortcoming by attempting to change TikTok creator content-producing behavior via a large, within-subject field experiment (N = 105 creators with a reach of over 16.9 million viewers; N = 3465 unique videos). Our randomly-assigned field intervention exposed influencers on the platform to either (a) asynchronous digital (.pdf) toolkits, or (b) both toolkits and synchronous virtual training sessions that aimed to promote effective evidence-based mental health communication (relative to a control condition, exposed to neither intervention). We find that creators treated with our asynchronous toolkits—and, in some cases, those also attending synchronous training sessions—were significantly more likely to (i) feature evidence-based mental health content in their videos and (ii) generate video content related to mental health issues. Moderation analyses further reveal that these effects are not limited to only those creators with followings under 2 million users. Importantly, we also document large system-level effects of exposure to our interventions; such that TikTok videos featuring evidence-based content received over half a million additional views in the post-intervention period in the study’s treatment groups, while treatment group mental health content (in general) received over three million additional views. We conclude by discussing how simple, cost-effective, and influencer-led interventions like ours can be deployed at scale to influence mental health content on TikTok.

The results show that 45.00 per cent of the women were in the middle age group, with 32.22 per cent having a secondary level of education. The majority (82.25 per cent) were engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry, and 83.33 per cent were married. About 49.45 per cent had low levels of experience, and most families (60.00 per cent) had 5 to 8 members. 68.33 per cent of the women had marginal landholding size up to 1.00 hectare, and 62.80 per cent had annual incomes below ₹50,000/-. Moreover, 76.12 per cent of respondents belonged to one organization, and 40.00 per cent had access to fair market facilities. Mass media exposure was low, with 70.55 per cent having very little exposure, and 39.45 per cent had low participation in extension activities. A significant percentage of respondents (ranging from 56.11 to 73.33) did not have the opportunity to attend training sessions of various durations. Family support was high for 33.35 per cent of the respondents, and 48.90 per cent had a positive attitude towards SHGs. The primary reason for joining SHGs, as reported by 93.33 per cent of the respondents, was to supplement their income, indicating the importance of economic benefits in motivating women to join SHGs.

The role of surfers in beach safety management: Insights from French respondents to a global surfer survey

Coastal locations are a leading contributor to the global drowning burden. Despite being a known risk-reduction measure, a significant proportion of beachgoers continue to bathe outside of lifeguard-patrolled areas placing themselves at increased risk of beach hazards such as rip currents and breaking waves. Under such conditions, recreational surfers represent a potentially important role as bystander rescuers although little is known about surfers' relationship to safety. In this study, we analyze surfer beach safety knowledge and behaviors using a sample of 569 French surfers, drawn from a Global Surfer Survey. Using pair wised comparisons and multivariate analysis, surfer characteristics as rescuers and as victims are investigated as well as their willingness to learn new safety skills. In our survey, 55.9% of French surfers self reported having previously conducted a rescue. We show that experienced and highly skilled surfers have a higher probability of performing a rescue than other surfers, but having completed ocean lifeguard training has no statistical influence. Having previously experienced injury seems beneficial both to act as a rescuer, but also in improving a surfers own safety. As victims, surfers appear to be calmer and less often in trouble with rip currents as others, such as swimmers. Compared to non surfers, surfers were less likely to be able to walk away and more likely to require medical assistance nevertheless. In the survey, 88.4% of the respondents were willing to take part in a course aimed at lifesaving and rescue skills for surfers, whether freely provided or not. Younger surfers (under 24 years) are more willing to acquire formal safety skills than other age groups. On the contrary, having alreadly performed a rescue has no statistical influence on the willingness to attend training sessions. Despite the significant involvement of surfers in saving lives in the coastal environment, there remains a need to encourage collaboration between local surfers and other stakeholders officially in charge of beach safety management.

THE IMPACT OF ICT IN EMPOWERING SARAWAK WOMEN IN HOME-BASED BUSINESS COMMUNITIES

In alignment with the sustainability strategy focusing on good governance, sustainable development, and racial harmony, this study investigates the access, use, and effects of ICT training on women in Sarawak. Its primary objective is to assess how ICT training benefits women in managing small home-based businesses. Data was gathered through questionnaires from 62 participants who attended training sessions in various Sarawak locations: Kota Samarahan, Sri Aman, Sarikei, Kuching, and Bako. This research holds significant importance for the state government, as it strives to increase the number of individuals with ICT skills and narrow the digital divide between urban and rural areas. The study reveals a strong consensus among respondents regarding the positive impact of ICT on empowering women, boosting their self-esteem, enriching their knowledge and skills, benefiting the socio-economic community, and fostering efficient management practices. The findings offer valuable insights into the effectiveness of ICT training for Sarawakian women engaged in home-based businesses. The mean scores for all variables indicate high agreement among respondents, with values exceeding four for each variable. This study underscores the substantial role of ICT in knowledge dissemination and empowering individuals, particularly in advancing gender equality. It suggests that ICT is an invaluable tool for successful training in rural areas and underscores the need for a systematic strategy to enhance ICT literacy.

How Does Digital HRM Transform Training to Learning in Organizations?

Have you ever attended training sessions and learned nothing after that? It would be a nightmare for the organizations but this situation is not so rare in reality. Employee training and development play a vital role in the growth and success of every organization. As a result, they are putting more effort into ensuring its efficiency. Digital technology has assisted in the transformation of human resource management (HRM), enabling the use of more effective and efficient training techniques as well as changing the nature of training into learning. Accordingly, HRM technology empowers employees to take responsibility for their development, making them active learners. In this way, digital HRM has transformed employee training programs to more flexible and personalized learning journeys, with a greater emphasis on self-paced learning and feedback for long-term effectiveness. In this discussion, we explore how digital HRM has transformed training into employee-led continuous learning journeys that foster a culture of self-awareness, responsibility and effectiveness.

A Holistic Analysis of Team Dynamics Using Relational Coordination as the Measure regarding Student Athlete Total Load: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Despite its small population, Norway wins a disproportionately large number of medals in international competitions. Therefore, it has been thought that the Norwegian sports model and sports school programs are influential in developing young Norwegian athletes to achieve such results. Today, more than 110 Norwegian private and public schools offer the elite sports program in Norway. Most student athletes attending those schools combine their high school education with elite sports, where they attend training sessions at both school and clubs. The number of people involved with the student athlete on a daily basis (i.e., other student athletes, club coaches, school coaches, schoolteachers, parents, and health personnel) indicate the importance of optimal communication and coordination. However, to the authors' knowledge, no previous studies have explored communication and coordination among this population group. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to use a holistic analysis of team dynamics using the Relational Coordination Survey as a measure to explore the relational coordination within and between student athletes, club coaches, and school coaches. A secondary objective of this study was to explore student athletes', club coaches', and school coaches' relational coordination with schoolteachers, parents, and health personnel. In addition, the study aimed to explore differences in student athletes' relational coordination with their significant others according to sport, school, performance level, sex, and school year. The quality of relational coordination was measured by a cross-sectional questionnaire of student athletes (n = 345), club coaches (n = 42), and school coaches (n = 25) concerning training load and life load. Multiple one-way analyses of variance were used to assess differences between groups. The results show that student athletes, club coaches, and school coaches perceived moderate to weak relational coordination with parents, schoolteachers, and health personnel. Student athletes' relational coordination score with parents was the only strong score observed. Furthermore, the results reveal notable differences in student athletes' relational coordination with the roles according to their characteristics. The findings suggest a potential for enhancing relationships and communication within and between the significant roles involved with student athletes. The results further indicate that those involved with the student athlete should consider a holistic approach to enhance communication and coordination, including physical, psychological, and other life factors, for optimal student athlete management and development. More resources are necessary to facilitate effective communication and coordination regarding the student athlete's total load.

Fall-risk-increasing drugs in older patients: the role of guidelines and GP-centred health care in Germany.

fall-risk-increasing drugs (FRIDs) are a ubiquitous issue, especially for older patients. As part of a German guideline for pharmacotherapy, from 2019, a new quality indicator for this patient group was developed to measure the percentage of patients receiving FRIDs. patients, aged at least 65years in 2020, insured by the Allgemeine OrtsKrankenkasse statutory health insurance (Allgemeine Ortskrankenkasse, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany) with a particular general practitioner (GP) were observed from 1 January to 31 December 2020 cross-sectionally. The intervention group received GP-centred health care. Within GP-centred health care, GPs have the role of gatekeepers for patients within the health system and are-in contrast to regular care GPs in addition to other commitments-obliged to regularly attend training sessions on appropriate pharmacotherapy. The control group received regular GP care. For both groups, we measured the percentage of patients receiving FRIDs as well as the occurrence of (fall-related) fractures as the main outcomes. To test our hypotheses, we performed multivariable regression modelling. a total of 634,317 patients were eligible for analysis. Within the intervention group (n = 422,364), we could observe a significantly reduced odds ratio (OR) for obtaining a FRID (OR = 0.842, confidence interval [CI]: [0.826, 0.859], P < 0.0001) in comparison to the control group (n= 211,953). Moreover, we could observe a significantly reduced chance for (fall-related) fractures in the intervention group (OR: 0.932, CI: [0.889, 0.975], P = 0.0071). the findings point in the direction that the health care providers' awareness of the potential danger of FRIDs for older patients is higher in the GP-centred care group.

Dental Public Health in Action: Delivering a domestic violence and abuse screening and identification training programme in North Staffordshire-based dental practices.

Domestic violence and abuse (DVA) is a significant public health problem both globally and in the UK. Dental professionals are aptly place to detect the signs of DVA and support patients to disclose DVA. However, dental professionals may lack confidence to identify and refer patients experiencing DVA; training needs in these areas were identified in Staffordshire. Glow DVA charity and the local Dental Public Health teams worked collaboratively to develop DVA training and resources specific to the needs to the dental team; these were provided to participating dental practices in the North-Staffordshire region. Feedback from the training was positive and the training was refined to better meet the needs of the dental team.mKey challenges included obtaining dental team buy in, securing funding for the continuation of the initiative and minimising the disruption to the dental team when attending training sessions or when managing a DVA disclosure. The implementation of the training highlighted the importance of DVA champions within the third sector organisations to develop and evolve the project, within dental practices to support implementation, and within the local Dental Public Health team to facilitate dental team buy-in and sustained engagement. Future plans include developing the patient-facing resources, finding ways to formally accredit dental teams for taking part in the DVA programme, and evaluating the impact of the training programme on DVA screening, identification and referral.

Дослідження мотивації спортсменів-юніорів до тренувальних занять з карате

Purpose: to determine the level of motivation of karate juniors to training sessions. Material and Methods. The scientific research was attended by karate juniors of 14,6±2,59 years old from sports clubs of Kharkiv and other cities of Ukraine in the amount of 31 sportsmen. Based on the study of scientific and methodological literature, conversations with coaches, pedagogical observations, a questionnaire was drawn up to identify the reasons (situations, circumstances) that prompted and encourage athletes to attend karate training sessions. The software «Google-Form» was used to conduct a remote survey. Results: the study showed that 45 % of respondents learned about karate from their parents, 32 % of athletes have friends who train them, 20 % joined the karate section due to an announcement at school, and 3 % attended karate competitions. Parents, siblings, and relatives are involved in karate for 77 % of respondents. When asked about the personal qualities of their coach, 47 % of respondents chose smart and fair, 33 % - cheerful and kind, 20 % - strict and demanding. Regarding the question of «ideal coach», 25 % of respondents said that their coach is exactly that. For 52 % of the athletes, the gym is located 1-3 km away; 23 % - less than 1 km; 19 % - 5-10 km; and 6 % - more than 10 km. 71 % of athletes walk to training, 16 % drive to the gym, 10 % use public transportation, and 3% use taxis. It takes 55 % of the athletes 10-30 minutes to get to the gym, 26 % - 1-10 minutes, 16 % - 30-60 minutes, and 3 % of karateka spend more than 1 hour on the road. The interest in training depends on whether athletes perform their favorite exercises during training. The majority of athletes (24 out of 31) like to practice kumite (free combat), and the same 23 out of 31 athletes like to learn and perform kata. 19 out of 31 like to perform «kihon» (basic technique) and 16 answers each for outdoor games and free combat. 71 % of athletes hear praise from their coaches several times a week. 26 % of athletes hear praise at every training session, and 3 % of karateka said that their coach does not pay attention to them. 97 % of karateka keep in touch outside the gym in messengers, computer games, and on walks; the majority (68 %) of karateka have athletes in their groups who they want to follow their example. 58 % of athletes indicated that their coaches organize joint meetings outside the gym. One of the important answers: 65 % of karateka want to become coaches in the future. Conclusions. Based on the study, most athletes start attending karate classes on the recommendation of their parents and friends. One of the main reasons for attending training sessions is the short distance to the gym. The majority of respondents want to become coaches in the future, which is a very important component for the further development of karate in Ukraine.

Monitoring of PICC lines in hospitals as part of an approach to improving the quality of care

The hospital hygiene operational team at the Haguenau Hospital Center in the Bas-Rhin region conducted prospective surveillance of the condition of PICC line dressings both at the time of application and during use for hospitalized patients in 2019 and 2021. Infectious and mechanical complications were identified in both periods. A report on the results of the first survey was proposed to the institution's professionals. Awareness campaigns on the subject of dressing repair and pulsed rinsing were carried out, and nurses were invited to attend training sessions in the form of practical work on PICC care. The second survey measured the extent, progress, and impact of training on quality of care.

The PRINCIPAL Network: A Model to Optimize Infection Care and Prevention in Pediatric Oncology in the Latin American Region.

Children with cancer are at high risk for poor outcomes, and health care providers are often unfamiliar with best practices in infection care and prevention (IC&P) in this small and fragile population. Graduates of training courses in IC&P in immunocompromised hosts identified a need for a community that would enable members to share health care experiences, provide resources for continuing medical education, and foster collaborative research and quality improvement opportunities. We developed a Latin American network, Prevencionistas e Infectólogos para Cáncer Pediátrico en América Latina, to grow and sustain the expertise of the clinical workforce in IC&P. Here, we describe the network, how we built it, and its early outcomes. We began by codesigning the mission, vision, objectives, and values. We then established the structure for leadership and network management to provide a functional uniformity and sustainability. Virtual meetings with network members and strategic in-person gatherings optimized the use of the time and resources of the network. The network has seen good participation by members and candidates for membership, who have provided feedback on case-based learning. Members have attended training sessions on quality improvement, research in human subjects, and IC&P in pediatric oncology at national and regional meetings and workshops. Network members have presented their work at regional and global meetings, and publications are beginning to emerge from this community. A direct effect of the Prevencionistas e Infectólogos para Cáncer Pediátrico en América Latina network has been the creation of a similar network for the Asia Pacific region, and a third network is being planned. We have demonstrated the power of a discipline-specific network structure to facilitate sharing of evidence-based information that enhances the quality-of-care delivery in pediatric oncology.

Reliability of the Pediatric Specific Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Scoring Systems for the Elbow, Wrist, and Finger Joints.

Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) is increasingly being used in the evaluation of pediatric musculoskeletal diseases. In order to provide objective assessments of arthritis, reliable MSUS scoring systems are needed. Recently, joint-specific scoring systems for arthritis of the pediatric elbow, wrist, and finger joints were proposed by the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) MSUS workgroup. This study aimed to assess the reliability of these scoring systems when used by sonographers with different levels of expertise. Members of the CARRA MSUS workgroup attended training sessions for scoring the elbow, wrist, and finger. Subsequently, scoring exercises of B mode and power Doppler (PD) mode still images for each joint were performed. Interreader reliability was determined using 2-way single-score intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for synovitis and Cohen [Formula: see text] for tenosynovitis. Seventeen pediatric rheumatologists with different levels of MSUS expertise (1-15 yrs) completed a 2-hour training session and calibration exercise for each joint. Excellent reliability (ICC > 0.75) was found after the first scoring exercise for all the finger and elbow views evaluated on B mode and PD mode, and for all of the wrist views on B mode. After a second training session and a scoring exercise, the wrist PD mode views reached excellent reliability as well. The preliminary CARRA MSUS scoring systems for assessing arthritis of the pediatric elbow, wrist, and finger joints demonstrate excellent reliability among pediatric MSUS sonographers with different levels of expertise. With further validation, this reliable joint-specific scoring system could serve as a clinical tool and scientific outcome measure.
