This article aims to analyze the strategic management capabilities of Population and Civil Registry Service Agency/PCRSA (Dinas Kependudukan dan Catatan Sipil/Dukcapil) of Depok City in administering the Child Identity Card/CIC National Program.

However, the CIC program could not meet the target set. To analyze these problems, this article employs the strategic management capabilities dimension. By using PCRSA of Depok City as the case study, this article explains the presence of the following strategic management capabilities: (a) the ability to manage authority indicates that the hierarchical based authority practice is not based on development of ideas and knowledge; (b) integration of system and structure is not yet achieved thoroughly across organizations of Depok City Government, instead, it is limited to PCRSA; (c) networking between PCRSA and private sector tend to be passive and is not built upon common goals and exchange of resources between actora; and (d) changes in ideas and strategic plans are still sporadic mainly due to COVID-19 pandemic, even though the need for change has appeared before the pandemic, such as the application of electronic-based services.

Contributions of Friends’ Problem Behaviors to Friendship Quality in a Sample of Children with ADHD

ABSTRACT Objective It is often assumed that children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) experience friendship difficulties because of their own problem behaviors. However, friendships are dyadic relationships between two children. This study sought to understand the incremental contributions of friends’ problem behaviors to dyadic friendship quality in a clinically diagnosed sample of children with ADHD. Method One hundred and sixty-five dyads consisting of a target child with ADHD and social impairment (age 6–11; 67% male; 72% white) and a reciprocated, real-life friend were recruited. Parents and teachers rated the ADHD symptom severity, externalizing problems, and callous-unemotional (CU) traits of target children and friends. Friendship quality in the dyad was measured with: (a) questionnaires independently completed by target children, their parents, their friends, and the parents of their friends; and (b) observations of child-friend interactions. Results The severity of ADHD symptoms and externalizing problems (but not CU traits) in target children was associated with more negative friendship quality reported on questionnaires. Adjusting for the corresponding problem behavior in target children, each type of friends’ problem behaviors incrementally predicted less positive friendship quality (on questionnaires). Friends’ ADHD symptoms and CU traits also incrementally predicted more negative friendship quality (on questionnaires and observations). Conclusions Considering problem behaviors in friends of children with ADHD (in addition to those in children with ADHD) may be important for identifying dyads at risk for lower quality friendships. These findings could possibly lead to new directions when designing and evaluating treatments targeting the friendship problems of children with ADHD.

Narrative diaries in the paediatric intensive care unit: A thematic analysis

The paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) diary is a shared tool, kept at the patient bedside, written by relatives and health care providers. There is little evidence about its feasibility and how it supports the families of children admitted to the PICU. Currently, there is no evidence about how the PICU diary is used and what we can learn from it. To explore the contents of narrative PICU diaries in an Italian PICU. Qualitative study of PICU diaries conducted with a narrative research approach. Children sedated and mechanically ventilated for >48 hours were enrolled in a six-bed Italian PICU of a tertiary care paediatric hospital. During the child's PICU admission, caregivers, relatives, friends, and health care providers were invited to report events, thoughts, and messages, and attach drawings/pictures for the child in the PICU diary. A thematic analysis of the PICU diary contents was performed. Thirteen PICU diaries were completed between August and December 2020, mainly by parents (n=95; 45%) and health care providers (n=52; 25%). Three main themes emerged: "Social and spiritual support," "Caregiver's emotions, feelings and distress," and "PICU life." Diaries offer insight into caregivers' emotions, social support, clinical activities, and interactions with health care providers, and on progression towards recovery. PICU diaries are valuable in facilitating family-centred care by providing a space for the written account of the child's admission by parents, other visitors, and health care providers. PICU diaries support the relationship and the communication between the family and the team; they provide an informal account of the emotions and needs of parents that has the potential to improve mutual understanding and family-centred care. Social support and spiritual support are key elements reported by parents for coping with their child's PICU admission.

Sport Participation Associations With Child Friend Selection and Physical Activity While at Summer Care Programs

ABSTRACT Child physical activity (PA) declines during summer reducing PA-related health benefits. Summer care programs (e.g., Boys & Girls Clubs) can promote active play while providing opportunities for friendships. Sport participation is a positive influence on PA and social development. Purpose: This article investigates the role of sport participation in PA attainment, perceived skill competency, and social connection at a summer care program. Methods: Children self-reported PA, sport participation, and the names of up to five peers whom they played with most at the program at the start (T1; n = 100; M age = 9.94 years; SD = 1.34; 47% male) and end (T2; n = 77; M age = 9.83 years; SD = 1.46; 51% male) of summer. Network autocorrelation models were used to determine if child sport participation was significantly associated with those they played with at the program. Results:Children who reported sport participation reported significantly more PA than those who did not at T1, but not T2. Child sport participation was significantly related to that of the peers they said they spent time with while at the program for T1 (β = 0.07, p < .01), but not T2 (β = 0.06, p = .10). Additionally, PA (β = 0.08, p < .01; β = 0.07, p = .01) and skill competency (β = 0.11, p = .02; β = 0.15, p < .01) were significantly associated with sport participation at both time points. While sports participation was a key factor in child friendships at the start of summer, the program allowed children, regardless of sport participation, to become friends outside of sports. Conclusions: These results suggest summer care programs promote PA through play and provide opportunities for children to facilitate friendships regardless of sport participation.

Lithuanian Catechism for Rural Schools (1795). Circumstances of its Compilation

Researchers constantly add new items to the bibliography of Lithuanian publications published in East Prussia in the last decade of the 18th century. The initiatives of publishing in local languages of that period were driven by the reforms of the Church and schools carried out by the Prussian authorities while the Enlightenment was coming to an end and the ideo­logy of regional particularism was continuously growing in the country. As can be seen from newly discovered archival documents and already recorded bibliographic information, at least four publications dedicated for primary Christian education were published in Prussia in 1795, namely, the New Testament, the psalm book, the semi-secular reading textbook The Friend of Children (Kūdikių prietelius), and the catechism for rural schools. The editions of the New Testament and Kūdikių prietelius are recorded in the Lithuanian bibliography, however, nothing has been known about the mentioned editions of the psalm book and the catechism so far. The circumstances of their publishing are analysed in the article.

Storage of Medications: A Survey of Families in the Pediatric Emergency Department.

To evaluate caregivers' practice of prescription medication storage, particularly of opioid medications, as well as to provide educational materials to families about the opioid crisis. Caregivers of patients in a pediatric emergency department were asked to participate in a survey about medication storage practices and beliefs, focusing on opioid medications. Data were collected through a survey documenting demographic data along with knowledge and behaviors of medication storage. Brief education about the US opioid crisis and safe storage was provided. In total, 233 families participated; 3 families declined; 11.5% of caregivers reported storing prescribed medications in a locked or latched place, although most store them "out of reach." Most believed their child or children's friends could not easily access their medications (81.8%). Families who did not keep their medications in locked or latched places had never thought about it (39.7%). In total, 33% of respondents were unaware of the opioid crisis; 87.4% of caregivers said they would use a medication lock box if given one. Many caregivers are not aware of the opioid crisis and do not keep opioid medications locked up. Half of the caregivers surveyed stated they "never thought about" locking up medications. Most parents would use a lock box if given to them. This opens the door to further study, education, and interventions.

The role of home language in children's friendship choice and peer acceptance

The present study examined the role of home language and school climate in children's friend preferences and peer liking. Participants were 109 elementary school-age students (50% girls, 47% boys; m = 7.9 years old) enrolled in a dual-language (English & Spanish) immersion school. Students were asked to identify, by circling names from a class list, their three best friends and the three classmates they liked most. Students were also interviewed about their perceptions of the school climate. Results showed that children nominated significantly more same-language peers as best friends compared to chance. Third graders, who were separated for part of the day based on home language, selected more same-language best friends than did second graders, who spent the whole day together with classmates. Students from English-speaking homes received a greater number of “most liked” nominations than did those from Spanish-speaking homes. Implications for practice and future research are addressed.
