DISPARITAS PUTUSAN TINDAK PIDANA PENYALAHGUNAAN NARKOTIKA OLEH ANAK DALAM PERSPEKTIF HAM

Narcotics users can be classified in various ways, including as narcotics addicts or victims of narcotics addiction. Naltrexone users and abusers are defined as those who use or abuse narcotics to the point of becoming physically and psychologically dependent on the drugs they use. In accordance with Article 54 of the Narcotics Law, the following things occur: It is specifically stated that "narcotics addicts and victims of narcotics abuse are required to undergo medical rehabilitation and social rehabilitation" and this refers to the provisions of SEMA No. 4 of 2010. Based on the Decision of the District Court of Semarang Number 407/Pid.SUS/2016/PN.Smg, the author gives examples of narcotics abusers who were ordered to undergo rehabilitation for 6 (six) months. The research method that the author uses is a normative juridical method, namely by conducting secondary data sources, namely data that are directly related to the problem being studied, and which consists of a number of data obtained from library books, laws and regulations, and others. related to the implementation of drug abuse rehabilitation programs. Following up on the research findings, the authors came to the conclusion that the legal considerations are that drug abusers must undergo medical rehabilitation and social rehabilitation in addition to imprisonment. In order to reintegrate into society, one's character and morals must be examined. For drug addicts, social rehabilitation is the process of reintroducing them to society, so they don't repeat their actions. Social rehabilitation also aims to reintegrate addicts and/or drug abusers into society by restoring thought processes, emotions, and behavios that are indicators of change. They have normal personality traits and are able to interact with others in their social environment (in a rehabilitation environment).

Biophysical Manipulation of the Extracellular Environment by Eurotium halophilicum.

Eurotium halophilicum is psychrotolerant, halophilic, and one of the most-extreme xerophiles in Earth's biosphere. We already know that this ascomycete grows close to 0 °C, at high NaCl, and-under some conditions-down to 0.651 water-activity. However, there is a paucity of information about how it achieves this extreme stress tolerance given the dynamic water regimes of the surface habitats on which it commonly occurs. Here, against the backdrop of global climate change, we investigated the biophysical interactions of E. halophilicum with its extracellular environment using samples taken from the surfaces of library books. The specific aims were to examine its morphology and extracellular environment (using scanning electron microscopy for visualisation and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry to identify chemical elements) and investigate interactions with water, ions, and minerals (including analyses of temperature and relative humidity conditions and determinations of salt deliquescence and water activity of extracellular brine). We observed crystals identified as eugsterite (Na4Ca(SO4)3·2H2O) and mirabilite (Na2SO4·10H2O) embedded within extracellular polymeric substances and provide evidence that E. halophilicum uses salt deliquescence to maintain conditions consistent with its water-activity window for growth. In addition, it utilizes a covering of hair-like microfilaments that likely absorb water and maintain a layer of humid air adjacent to the hyphae. We believe that, along with compatible solutes used for osmotic adjustment, these adaptations allow the fungus to maintain hydration in both space and time. We discuss these findings in relation to the conservation of books and other artifacts within the built environment, spoilage of foods and feeds, the ecology of E. halophilicum in natural habitats, and the current episode of climate change.

The Aplication of Blended Learning to Overcome Students Learning Saturation in Arabic Learning Class XI MAN 2 Parepare

This study analyzes the "Application of Blended Learning to Overcome Student Saturation in Learning Arabic Class XI MAN 2 Parepare". Aims to find out the saturation of learning caused by learning Arabic that is not optimal. Blended learning combines face-to-face and online meeting learning to be an alternative to learning. This study uses a qualitative research method that is descriptive in nature, namely to provide an overview of the situation factually, and systematically, by collecting data, and facts about learning saturation in learning Arabic at MAN 2 Parepare. The combination of online and offline learning can produce effective and efficient learning. Effectively, blended learning is a balanced concept between increasing insight and knowledge online and increasing skills offline, while attitudes can be obtained from online and offline learning. Efficiently, students can arrange teaching materials in the form of multimedia with a wider and varied range of materials and students can easily access online materials wherever and whenever according to their needs and time availability. The application of Blended learning at MAN 2 Parepare is carried out using the SIATI MADDUPA application. The effect of using this application, in general, is that students can access all the needs of a series of students in this one application only by having a student card that has been equipped with a barcode. With this student card, students can take attendance independently and have their attendance recorded in real-time, can access library books, and can access the school's internet for free with a barcode scan. This application has just been launched, with various features in this application that can be utilized by all school stakeholders. Even so, the use of this application is not maximized because it is still being developed so that it can be optimal in its use. The implications of the whole series with various research objects based on facts, as well as various sources from all school stakeholders are very helpful in the process of writing this scientific paper.

The Physical Canon

The physical Bible as we know it is a library of books gathered together within a single cover binding. The creation of the single-volume Bible, utilizing the codex book form, dates from the first half of the fourth century, and at its inception was a powerful technological innovation. Committing a fixed form within a binding, the single-volume Bible uniquely declared the unity of the Scriptures and the books authorized for inclusion. However, enormous production costs meant that single-volume Bibles were rare. Considering this rarity, Bibles must have come together in other recognized physical forms. Given the dearth of direct physical evidence, we infer their existence by looking at Greco-Roman book containers and furnishings, descriptive and metaphorical allusions in theological writings, the parallel development of the Torah Ark/Shrine in Jewish synagogues, and pictorial depictions in church mosaics and Bible manuscript paintings.

An Estimation of the Cost of Providing Books for further Reading in Libraries of Distance Education

The Self Learning Materials (SLMs) of distance education attempt to provide learners with a learning environment containing textbooks and lecture notes. Apart from this, counselling sessions, media enabled solutions such as audio/ video channels and teleconferencing sessions are provided to learners. A small library of essential books for further reading mentioned in the SLMs are also maintained at the study centres to offer library facilities comparable to campusbased education. An accurate and efficient cost estimation and optimisation methodology is very important in library development as it would assist the management to estimate the costs involved. Cost analysis is perhaps not given the required consideration by libraries largely due to the fact that they are state-funded, and difficulties attached to assess the use made out of money spent. This study has been carried out to find out the optimum cost of supply of books prescribed for further reading in the SLMs of Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) programme of the national Open University, IGNOU to the libraries of its Regional Centres and of its Study Centres hosting the programme.

Timing of Sexuality Education: Hong Kong Preteens' Perception of Sexual Health.

Although young people want to know more about sexuality, they do not feel they have received what they need to learn. In Chinese societies, scant research has solicited direct input from the youth to obtain their views on sexuality education (SE) deliverables. We found research gaps in the lack of Chinese preteens' input regarding SE timing, knowledge perception, learning readiness, and preteens' reasons for obtaining information about sexual health. In Hong Kong, a not-for-profit agency collected data from Chinese preadolescents who expressed opinions through a general survey. This agency surveyed students from 24 primary schools and provided anonymous secondary data for this team to analyze further. Among 4569 fifth- and sixth-grade students (average 11years old), girls were more likely than boys to seek sex-related information from teachers, library books, and mothers. In contrast, boys were more likely than girls to obtain information from friends, pornographic comics, and the internet. Logistic regression analysis indicated that gender, age, instructional sources, openness to sexual health knowledge, and perceived and actual levels of knowledge predicted preteens' desire to receive SE earlier in grade school. Girls and older students were significantly more likely to report their preference to receive SE in an earlier grade. We recommend that preteens and their parents be encouraged to collaborate with teachers to participate in school-based SE programming.

Evidence-based library book shifting

The Missouri State University Libraries Access Services implemented an evidence-based process to move many books and shelves. That process included measuring the collection, performing quality control checks, creating a plan, and defining regular waypoints to keep the shift from deviating from the plan. This article describes the move, the ideas behind it, and the spreadsheet that provided evidence to make informed decisions.

Evaluation of School Libraries in Terms of Quantity and Quality

School libraries are supplementary places enabling students to acquire reading habits and reading culture. The purpose of this study is to determine the status of libraries in schools and to take the opinions of teachers towards school libraries. For this purpose, a case study design has been utilized in the current research and observation and interview techniques have been employed. In the research, the libraries of all schools in a city centre have been observed. Through stratified purposeful sampling and criterion sampling methods, interviews were carried out with teachers working in school libraries. The research data were analysed via content analysis. As a result of the research, it was determined that two-thirds of the schools had libraries. Besides, it was revealed that the capacity of the school libraries is inadequate due to the limited physical space of the libraries in schools. Although there were computers and the internet in libraries, digitalization was determined to be limited. It was also shown that there were mostly classical works and the libraries covered inadequate number of contemporary books. When examining the genres of the books in libraries, it may be said that there were novels and story book by a majority, referring to a limited variety of genres. It has been concluded that students can not effectively use school libraries as expected due to by virtue of the limited library facilities. Accordingly, in order to ensure the effective use of school libraries by students, the physical conditions of the libraries should be improved as well as the variety and quality of the documents should be increased.

Supervision of Education in Improving the Quality of Education in Schools

Education is a necessity for every human being. Through education, each individual can update the knowledge he has in order to keep up with the increasingly sophisticated times, demanding that each individual has the ability to think well. Individuals who have good thinking skills will be able to solve more complex problems than individuals whose thinking ability is still low. The existing reality, until now, is still felt that the condition of education is still not good. Learning facilities are still inadequate, be it the completeness of books in the school library, the use of laboratories that have not been utilized optimally, limited educational facilities and infrastructure, lack of professionalism of educators in teaching, both in preparing teaching materials and in delivering subject matter, lack of discipline of educators, and lack of educator knowledge about the effective learning process so that the real educational goals became unattainable. There are several alternatives that can be done to solve educational problems. First, it provides motivation for the importance of educational supervision for educators. Second, strive for adequate educational facilities and infrastructure. Third, apply the discipline of educators. Educators are an example for every learner.

Investigating the pleasure reading habits of EFL learners in lower secondary schools

Reading literacy is significant for learners’ academic success, and high levels of reading literacy can be established through strong engagement in pleasure reading. It seems that the advancement of competing media, such as television and computer games and the fluctuating socio-cultural contexts have made a significant influence on learners’ pleasure reading habits. The purpose of this study was therefore to investigate lower secondary school learners’ pleasure reading habits using descriptive survey design. The data were collected from 377 randomly selected learners in North Wollo Zone, Ethiopia, using a survey questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential (independent samples t-test) statistics were used to analyze the data. The findings of the study indicated that majority of the learners’ habits toward pleasure reading was poor. The findings of the study also showed that the students’ mostly read for academic purposes. It was also found that there was no significant difference (p > .05) between gender and age of learners regarding their pleasure reading habits. Lack of reading materials, low English ability, and lack interest in reading are the major factors that affect learners’ pleasure reading habits. Based on the results, it can be suggested that integrating pleasure reading programme in the curricula, being accessible to a wide range of books (based on the learners’ level and interest) in the school libraries, and establishing school reading clubs in input-poor English as a Foreign Language contexts like Ethiopia is essential to promote learners’ pleasure reading habits.

Student participation in a DEI audit as High-Impact Practice

During Spring 2021, eight students at the University of the Pacific participated in an internship where they performed a DEI audit of the library's book and music score collection. An internship is one documented type of High-Impact Practices and research studies show that High-Impact Practices lead to higher retention and graduation rates. Deep learning occurred as student interns participated in developing the methodology, evaluating book and music score collections, reading assigned articles pertaining to DEI in librarianship and publishing, and providing recommendations on closing identified collection gaps. To evaluate their learning, the interns were asked to complete three surveys at the beginning, middle, and end of the project. These surveys were evaluated by a mixed methods research approach to incorporate qualitative and quantitative data in assessing the student interns' understanding of library collections, the publishing industry, and academic DEI issues. This study contributes to the literature on High-Impact Practices in academic libraries by describing a unique and valuable way to involve students in diversifying the library collection.

Reinventing acquisition process of print books in university libraries

The paper aims to find the best practices of print book procurement in select central university libraries in northern India, including getting maximum discounts and supply of ordered books, and empanelling vendors. Through online questionnaires, selected libraries' book procurement procedures have been surveyed. Further, acquisition staff were consulted, and websites were accessed to learn book procurement procedures at central universities. Data collected from select seven university libraries were recorded in Microsoft Excel worksheets, aggregated, and summarized to create consolidated datasets for analysis. It is found that five universities buy books from empanelled vendors by setting minimum and maximum discount rates on print books. Vendors are increasingly being asked for discount quotes through expressions of interest. University libraries don't seem to buy books through tendering process or through government e-market place (GeM).

Library User as Self-Librarian: Self-Service in Libraries

The article is devoted to self-service libraries and self-service elements in libraries. The aim of the work is to determine the place and role of self-service libraries in the complex system of libraries in the modern society. The author describes various aspects of the use of automated self-service systems and digital technologies in the activities of libraries. The paper analyses the reasons that encourage libraries to switch to self-servicing. The introduction of this form of service is considered as an opportunity to increase the efficiency of the staff work, to free up time for creative activity previously spent on routine processes. The author gives examples of the use of automated self-service systems in libraries. During self-service hours, library users independently receive and hand over books using automatic book distribution stations, library book vending machines. With the help of self-service systems, librarians keep statistics of library visits, identify the most popular books, create lists of readers delaying the return of books, etc. The author analyses the problems faced by librarians working under the system of full or partial self-service. Abroad, the massive introduction of self-service elements in libraries has caused an ambiguous reaction from library staff. Many of them took the innovation as a reason to reduce the number of library staff. Such fears are groundless, since the functions of library specialists are not limited to the issuance of books. The scope of their professional activity is much wider, and knowledge, skills and experience are indispensable when qualified intellectual assistance is required. In the age of digital technologies, self-service in libraries is becoming an integral element of creating a comfortable environment for readers. At the same time, readers still need the help of library staff. Automated self-service systems have a rich potential, if traditional library values are preserved.
