The fundamentals of Islamic religious education in inclusive schools meet special needs children's PAI issues

Education is a profound and essential process that enables individuals to achieve success in their social lives and various other domains. Designed specifically for children with impairments or special needs (ABK), children with exceptional needs require increased supervision and customized educational assistance. This study aims to acquire a comprehensive understanding of the educational journey of children with disabilities in inclusive educational settings. The research will utilize the literature review research methodology, with a specific emphasis on pertinent studies published in reputable publications between 2013 and 2023. This study analyzes and assesses previous research on Islamic religious education in inclusive schools. It aims to apply relevant theories to clarify the concept or representation that is formed via the process of generalizing understanding. Theory, in essence, provides a succinct depiction of empirical generalizations and the interrelationships among many premises. These claims are based on explicit assumptions, encompassing both those that will be scrutinized and those that have already been recognized. The findings revealed that by adopting an inclusive school paradigm, children with special needs can avail themselves of equivalent educational chances as their typically developing peers. Moreover, this essay will explore the precise tactics for converting an inclusive school into a setting where kids with special needs can participate in both educational and recreational pursuits without facing any kind of prejudice.

Studi Fenomenologi: Coping Stress Guru Pendamping Khusus Wanita di Sekolah Kristen Kalam Kudus Pontianak

A special education assistant (teacher's aide) is responsible for supporting the main teacher in all aspects of teaching and learning activities, from planning to evaluation. Teaching children with special needs is more complex and risky, leading to higher levels of stress compared to teaching typical children. Therefore, an effective regulatory system is needed, along with the implementation of stress coping mechanisms, to reduce these stress levels. The research objective is to understand stress coping mechanisms among female special education assistants at Kalam Kudus Christian School in Pontianak. This study employs a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. Data collection will be conducted through interviews and observations with six female special education assistant subjects. The data collection technique used is purposive sampling, and data analysis employs content analysis. Research validity will be tested using triangulation and member checking. The research results show that the study subjects use two types of stress coping mechanisms: emotion-focused coping and problem-focused coping. The emotion-based coping results include seeking social emotional support, escape avoidance, and accepting responsibility. Additionally, the problem-based coping results include seeking informational support and confrontive coping, which influence their approach to reducing stress levels.

Estimating the causal impact of non-traditional household structures on children’s educational performance using a machine learning propensity score

Over the past two decades, family structures have diversified. International migration has led to a rise in the number of families in which at least one parent is foreign-born. Increases have also been observed in both the rate of partnership separation, leading to a greater number of single-parent households and an increase in the number of families where grandparents have assumed caring responsibilities for their grandchildren. Evidence indicates a strong relationship between family structure and children’s educational outcomes. Parental involvement is well documented as a key ingredient for the educational success of children. Drawing on Taiwanese multi-wave survey data (Taiwan Assessment of Student Achievement) and a machine-learning-based propensity score algorithm for multiple treatments, this paper aims to determine the various relationships between children from different household structures (two-parent households, skipped generation households, single-parent households, and immigrant households) and their cognitive knowledge (measured by test scores). Key findings reveal that children from skipped generation households achieve the lowest performance scores and that those from immigrant households tend to perform even better than children from traditional two-parent households in certain disciplines. Our results suggest that policy interventions targeted at providing remedial education and/or financial assistance are needed to support children from skipped generation families to redress existing educational disadvantages in Taiwan.

Accessing perinatal substance use disorder care in your local community: A case study of an innovative hub and spoke network in western North Carolina

IntroductionThe incidence of substance use disorders (SUD) in the general population and in the pregnant person population has risen over the last 20 years. Concurrently, both perinatal and SUD care in rural areas is laden with access barriers including but not limited to geographical distance from potential treatment and stigma. An integrated outpatient perinatal substance use disorder (PSUD) clinic in an urban area in western North Carolina (WNC) found that patients who traveled further for prenatal care were less likely to continue seeking care in the postpartum period. Acknowledging that the risk of overdose increases in the postpartum period, the PSUD clinic utilized a hub and spoke model to promote healthcare accessibility. MethodsThe clinic adapted the Vermont hub and spoke model and the CHARM (Children and Recovering Mothers) collaborative. The urban hub in WNC has now developed eight spokes in rural communities. The hub provides education and technical assistance to the rural spokes, and the two engage in bidirectional referral pathways. This manuscript details the model and analyzes the existing strengths and barriers at two spokes, a family medicine Federally Qualified Health Center and a hospital affiliated obstetrics and gynecology practice and analyzes their process of implementation of integrated outpatient perinatal substance use care. ResultsBoth spokes found coaching relationships and the sharing of resources such as clinical guidelines useful to begin prescribing buprenorphine for PSUD. Their context led one spoke to begin prescribing within one year while the other took two years. ConclusionComparing and contrasting these spokes serves to demonstrate that across many contexts, a hub and spoke model is a replicable intervention for rural perinatal substance use access to care barriers. Comparing the two spokes emphasizes the need for adaptation as well as standardization of the model to improve evidence-based PSUD care most effectively.

The role of zakat in economic recovery during and after the Covid-19 pandemic: A case study of Baznas in Indonesia

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the global economy, including Indonesia, which experienced a drastic economic decline. Baznas is expected to contribute to economic recovery through the management and distribution of zakat, infāq, and ṣadaqah (ZIS) funds. This study aims to evaluate the role of Baznas in supporting Indonesia’s economic recovery during and after the Covid-19 pandemic and to analyze the economic recovery methods implemented by Baznas. This research employs a qualitative approach with content analysis and literature review methods. Secondary data were obtained from Baznas activity reports, financial reports, and management reports from 2020 to 2022, sourced from the official Baznas website. The findings indicate that Baznas has effectively managed and distributed ZIS funds to assist communities affected by the pandemic. Various programs, including health, social, economic, and educational assistance, were implemented to mitigate the negative impacts of the pandemic. The distribution of ZIS funds was focused on both consumptive and productive schemes, with a greater emphasis on consumptive schemes during the pandemic. This study demonstrates that zakat, as an Islamic financial instrument, can be a solution to alleviate the economic burden on communities affected by Covid-19.Keywords: Baznas; Covid-19; economic recovery; zakat, infāq, and sadaqah (ZIS).

Education for Pregnant Women and Cadres as an Effort to Optimize the Achievement of Exclusive Breastfeeding in Stunting Prevention

Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of a baby's life is the gold standard in infant and child feeding recommended by WHO and UNICEF. Breast milk contains the complete nutrition that babies need. Only breastfeeding for infants aged 0-6 months is sufficient for all the nutritional needs of infants. This program aimed to increase mothers' understanding of the importance of exclusive breastfeeding, increase mothers' self-efficacy for breastfeeding, and mothers' readiness to face the breastfeeding process. The program is carried out by providing education, demonstrations, and breastfeeding assistance, as well as evaluation monitoring. The activity was attended by nine third-trimester pregnant women and 11 cadres, all of whom were unemployed. Providing education and training about the importance of breastfeeding for reducing can increase knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding. Breastfeeding self-efficacy was also measured and obtained an average score of 34 out of a total score of 56. The variation in breastfeeding self-efficacy was 4,153, with a minimum score of 34 and a maximum of 39. The results of breastfeeding assistance and evaluation showed that mothers can breastfeed well and only give breast milk to the baby. This program is expected to contribute to increasing breastfeeding coverage to reduce stunting in children.

Research on the Reform of the Teaching Mode of Rural English Education Assistance Based on the Technical Support of Network Technology

Abstract Under the background of the development of network technology, this paper aims to promote rural English teaching and constructs an English teaching model that combines English recognition technology and rural teaching. The main process of speech recognition is examined by analyzing different speech recognition technologies. Using a deep learning network, an English speech recognition model has been established. Combined with the English acoustic features in the network data, fluency of English speech is evaluated. Data embedding is performed on the English sequences in the network, combined with the sequence probability in the English data, so as to determine whether the English speech is correct or not. The Eval value for the English recognition model based on deep learning is 5.49%, while the test value is 5.89%, as per the results. As the English dataset increases, so does the English recognition technique proposed in this paper, and the accuracy remains above 0.6, and when the dataset is 500, the speech recognition accuracy is 0.8. The teaching model that combines speech recognition techniques with English teaching improves students’ English to a certain extent.

Supervisi Sebagai Upaya Pengawas Untuk Meningkatkan Kinerja Guru Dalam Implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka

The quality of education is a key aspect in the development of a nation. In Indonesia, the implementation of the "Kurikulum Merdeka" in 2020 is a significant step in keeping up with global developments. Amidst this change, teachers play a central role in delivering this curriculum. They need to adapt, integrate technology, and understand the individual needs of students. Educational supervision becomes a crucial tool for enhancing teacher performance, especially in the implementation of "Kurikulum Merdeka." Educational supervision assists supervisors and teachers in collaborating, providing feedback, and identifying areas for improvement. The implementation of "Kurikulum Merdeka" requires oversight that involves various aspects such as teaching, assessment, and the use of information technology. This research uses a qualitative descriptive analysis approach and focuses on how academic supervision contributes to improving teacher performance in the implementation of "Kurikulum Merdeka." The study employs a literature review approach, utilizing previous research as a data source. The research results indicate that intensive and continuous academic supervision, coupled with teacher mentoring, can enhance teacher performance in addressing the challenges of "Kurikulum Merdeka." As a recommendation, there is a need for increased supervision intensity, the development of supervision techniques, and training in differentiated teaching to support teacher performance in implementing "Kurikulum Merdeka." This way, the quality of education in Indonesia can continue to improve.

Strategies for Addressing Indigenous Education Dropout

The issue of indigenous education dropout among the indigenous community has deep roots, despite various efforts being made. These efforts include educational assistance such as transportation allowances, pocket money for primary and secondary school students, dormitory personal needs, fees, and school uniforms for Standard 1 and Form 1 students. Similarly, there are initiatives like the Education Incentive Scheme (SBGP) managed in collaboration with the Department of Orang Asli Development (JAKOA), aimed at encouraging indigenous students to pursue higher education. However, the education dropout issue among the indigenous at the secondary school level not only hinders educational progression but also makes it difficult for the younger generation of this community to secure better employment due to the lack of required minimum qualifications. Therefore, this qualitative study aims to explore strategies for addressing indigenous education dropout in Sungai Siput, Perak. Through semi-structured interviews and purposive sampling, the researcher conducted interviews with several teachers, parents, and indigenous community members in the district of Sungai Siput, Perak. Additionally, direct observations were made in schools, homes, and indigenous villages to reinforce the interview data. The study findings outlined strategies in the context of efforts needed by various parties to address indigenous educational dropout. The results indicate that addressing indigenous education dropout requires the involvement of various parties, establishing culturally responsive education, developing indigenous community educational recovery, and enhancing teacher training and professional development in indigenous schools. This study has important implications for addressing the issue of educational dropout among indigenous students from various angles.

Self-Determination to Better Health Outcomes: A Study of Diabetes in the Native American Community

Increased self-determination in health care by the Native American community may help combat preventable diseases like diabetes. The racial stereotyping of Native Americans in medical clinics has been found to directly correlate to health disparities such as poor care and poor medical outcomes (Solomon et al.). However, since 1975, the ISDEAA, or Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, provides three major avenues by which Native Americans may receive health care: directly from the federal government through the Indian Health Service, through a Title I contract to administer part of their own health care programs, or through a Title V compact to take over all of their own health care (Marley, “Ambiguous Jurisdiction” 433). Longitudinal research into the diabetes prevalence rates across time for each of the 574 federally recognized tribes should be juxtaposed against the timeline of when each individual tribe evolved from Indian Health Service dependent to Title I, and then finally to Title V. I had sought to prove that diabetes prevalence rates for Native Americans show a lagging decline as self-determination of health care increases. Further collection of specific, tribal, micro-level data is necessary to prove or disprove this point. Ultimately, this conceptual paper is a proposal for further data collection by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, which is in charge of the Indian Health Service.

Prevalence and nature of manufacturer-sponsored patient support programs for prescription drugs in Canada: a cross-sectional study.

Globally, pharmaceutical companies offer patient support programs in tandem with their products, which aim to enhance medication adherence and patient experience through education, training, support and financial assistance. We sought to identify the proportion and characteristics of such patient support programs in Canada and to describe the nature of supports provided. We conducted a crosssectional study to identify and characterize all marketed prescription drugs available in Canada as of Aug. 23, 2022, using the Health Canada Drug Product and CompuScript databases. To describe the nature of supports provided, we conducted a content analysis of publicly available patient support program websites and Web-based documents. Using logistic regression, we identified characteristics of drugs associated with having a patient support program including brand-name or branded generic (generic medications with a proprietary name), orphan (medications for rare diseases) or biologic drug status; estimated total cost of prescriptions dispensed at retail pharmacies; and price per unit. Of the 2556 prescription drugs marketed by 89 companies in the study period, 256 (10.0%) had a patient support program in Canada. Many of the 89 drug manufacturers (n = 55, 61.8%) offered at least 1 patient support program, frequently relying on third-party administrators for delivery. Brandname and branded generic medications, biologic agents and drugs with orphan status were more likely to have a patient support program than generic drugs. Compared with drugs priced $1.01-$10.00 per unit, drugs priced $10.01-$100.00 per unit were nearly 8 times more likely to have a patient support program (adjusted odds ratio 7.54, 95% confidence interval 4.07- 14.64). Most sampled patient support programs included reimbursement navigation (n = 231, 90.2%) and clinical case management (n = 223, 87.1%). About 1 in 10 drugs marketed in Canada has a manufacturersponsored patient support program, but these are concentrated around brand-name, branded generic, biologic and high-cost drugs, often for rare diseases. To understand the impact of patient support programs on health outcomes and sustainable access to cost-effective medicines, greater transparency and independent evaluation of patient support programs is necessary.

Behaviour, Practices and Attitudes of Farmers Regarding the use of Pesticides at the Agricultural Frontier in the South of the Amazon State

Purpose: Study the pesticides used on the agricultural frontier in Amazonas and evaluate the behavior, practices and attitudes of farmers in relation to the storage, handling and disposal of pesticide packaging. Method: 89 interviews were carried out between 2020 and 2021 with pesticide applicators living in five municipalities in the south of Amazonas. The behavior of farmers in relation to health and environmental protection was evaluated. We determined the correlation between health behavior and environmental protection with the variables: age, education, income, label reading and technical assistance, using the Spearman Rho test and the Cochran test. Results and conclusion: The majority of farmers use PPE incompletely (79%) or do not use any form of protection, store pesticides inappropriately, dispose of packaging incorrectly or do not receive technical assistance. A total of 42% of farmers demonstrated unsafe health care behavior. In terms of environmental protection, 35% of farmers demonstrate behaviors that potentially promote environmental risks. It is urgent to reverse this trend through the implementation of public policies that include free technical support programs for small, low-income farmers. Educational programs that provide information on the correct use of pesticides and environmental and health risks must be adapted to the local reality. Research implications: The contribution of the research is knowledge of the use of pesticides in the South of Amazonas, demonstrating that in addition to the environmental and health problems caused by deforestation and fires in the agricultural frontier of the Brazilian Amazon, a new problem may arise: environmental and human contamination. by pesticides used on crops and pastures. Originality value: This research is original and demonstrates the ways in which pesticides are used in the agricultural frontier of southern Amazonas, as well as its main implications.

JUDICIALIZAÇÃO DA EDUCAÇÃO ESPECIAL

The specialized literature records the growth of judicialization processes in the field of education. Given this panorama, this article reports a research whose objective was to investigate the judicialization of Special Education in a municipality at the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, based on the applicability of students' rights for their regular inclusion in education. The research has an analytical and explanatory character and was carried out through bibliographical and documentary research. Judicial decisions handed down in the municipality from 2009 to 2020 were analyzed. It was found that, despite the existence of several judicial decisions within the time frame, only three cases of request for intervention by the Judiciary Power were recorded. It was observed that, based on legal arguments, what really mattered for the intervention or not of the Judiciary was the verification of access to specialized educational assistance for the child, regardless of whether it was in the public or private network. It was concluded that, in the investigated period, there was a low level of judicialization regarding the inclusion of the Special Education Target Public and that the institutional offer of some form of specialized educational assistance was recognized, by the courts, as a service provided.
