Legal Politics of Affidavit Prohibited Marriage for Junior High School Student

The background of the research was the existence of a statement letter prohibiting marriage for junior high school students in the city of Surakarta-Solo, which was later withdrawn by the school. The rules have been in effect for five years, the revocation is motivated by the wishes of the parents. The fact is that many junior high school children are now married. Through normative legal research methods, it examines problems regarding marriage prohibitions and then looks at the flow of legal politics policies that give birth to policies on the age limit for marriage. The discussion focuses on national legal politics regarding the age limit for marriage for men and women by looking at phenomena in the world of education. Judging from the minimum age, then like the government's anxiety regarding the world of education, the issuance of the Constitutional Court's decision was greeted by the issuance of a law to limit the age of marriage to nineteen years. Regulations in the form of laws regarding the limitation of the minimum age for marriage are basically not laws. If anyone seems to disagree with the rules, it is forbidden to marry at the junior high school level, which basically has the same goal, namely to anticipate early marriage.

Menanamkan Sikap Mencintai Budaya Lokal di Era Globalisasi Pada Anak SMA

In the era of globalization, the personalities of high school children are influenced by globalization. This can be shown by the decline in character values in each individual. For example, lack of manners, cheating on exams, lack of social sensitivity and so on. The method used for this article is descriptive qualitative and literature study. A literature study method was also carried out, namely by collecting data by reading and reviewing literature that had been found by other researchers related to topics and problems related to cultivating an attitude of loving local culture in the era of globalization in high school children. The public's awareness of wanting to maintain their culture is still relatively minimal. Because children nowadays are more interested in foreign culture that has entered their territory, because the foreign culture that has entered is more practical and in line with current development trends.

Life and Stress of Japanese Children and Adolescents During the Prolonged Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic

This study surveyed adult web monitor enrollees about the lives of and stress experienced by Japanese children and adolescents during the prolonged coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The survey was conducted on February 10, 2022 (after the sixth wave) and August 19, 2022 (during the seventh wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan), with 231 and 217 survey participants, respectively. The questionnaire was designed so that adults could assess the frequency of exercise, and difficulties experienced by children and adolescents around them. Regarding exercise opportunities, 22% of parents of middle and high school children reported that children’s exercise opportunities “stayed the same” or “increased considerably” in the first survey. Whereas, in the second survey, all parents of middle and high school children reported that children’s exercise opportunities “decreased.” Regarding stress, 17% of parents of adolescents 18 years and older responded that the stress experienced was the “same as before” or “a little less than before” in the first survey, but all of these parents responded “quite a bit” to the same question in the second survey. The findings suggest that the life changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic may have a significant impact on children and adolescents and may increase stress. The long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on children and adolescents should be further investigated.

THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF RESEARCHING OF THE TOPIC OF WAR IN TOYS AND PLAY ACTIVITIES OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

The actuality of the study is determined by the need for reaction of teachers and scientists to the phenomena that children reflect in the game – military actions. The professional inadequacy of the methodology for organizing military-themed games encourages scientific research to provide adequate support to teachers and practitioners in wartime. The purpose of the article is to determine the features of military toys, toy weapons usage investigating the theme of war in preschool children’s play activities by analyzing and summarizing the views of child psychologists, psychotherapists, kindergarten teachers and scientists. The following methods were used for the study: analysis, generalization, synthesis. The idea of leisure militarization penetrated not only the games of preschool children, but also children of middle and high school age. The main mechanics were to seize territories and increase military power: men’s and technical. If the role of an adult does not have a purposeful positive impact, then such games will be identified by spontaneity, conflict, consolidation of psychological attitudes, the stronger player wins, and moral norms in such games are not valid.
 The results of scientific research are accumulated in the following features: children's games on the theme of war and toy weapons usage have a deep historical origin from the stable stereotypical views on the upbringing of boys and girls; the theme of war and the plots of military events penetrate all kinds of children's games: creative and with rules, while their interpenetration and mutual enrichment is noticeable; games and toys can be the subject of ideological and military reflection and influence of different political and historical periods; such games can reflect the experienced traumatic events, and be necessary means of preventive and psychotherapeutic treatment, etc. It is noted that the organization of children's military-themed games ensures preschoolers’ value orientations formation: patriotism, respect for a person and his life, the value of protecting the Motherland, interest in military’s heroic deeds etc.

СРАВНИТЕЛЬНАЯ ОЦЕНКА КАЧЕСТВА ЖИЗНИ ДЕТЬМИ СТАРШЕГО ШКОЛЬНОГО ВОЗРАСТА И ИХ РОДИТЕЛЯМИ

Children of high school age and their parents conducted an assessment of the quality of life associated with health. The study included 94 schoolchildren, including 34 boys and 60 girls, students of the 10th grade of a general education school, the average age was 16.4±2.7 years and 94 parents, including 26 men and 68 women, the average age was 43.0±4.0 years. To assess quality of life indicators, the Peds QL-4.0 questionnaire was used for children aged 13-18 years and their parents. It is shown that in this age group, a good match was observed in the evaluation of the children and the parents were observed on all the scales of the PedsQL 4.0 questionnaire. The assessment of the the quality of life of children did not depend on the sex of the parents who conducted the assessment.

Cross-sectional associations between early mobile device usage and problematic behaviors among school-aged children in the Hokkaido Study on Environment and Children’s Health

Concerns have been raised about the adverse health impacts of mobile device usage. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to examine the association between a child's age at the first use of a mobile device and the duration of use as well as associated behavioral problems among school-aged children. This study focused on children aged 7-17 years participating in the Hokkaido Study on Environment and Children's Health. Between October 2020 and October 2021, the participants (n = 3,021) completed a mobile device use-related questionnaire and the strengths and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ). According to the SDQ score (normal or borderline/high), the outcome variable was behavioral problems. The independent variable was child's age at first use of a mobile device and the duration of use. Covariates included the child's age at the time of survey, sex, sleep problems, internet addiction, health-related quality of life, and history of developmental concerns assessed at health checkups. Logistic regression analysis was performed for all children; the analysis was stratified based on the elementary, junior high, and senior high school levels. According to the SDQ, children who were younger at their first use of a mobile device and used a mobile device for a longer duration represented more problematic behaviors. This association was more pronounced among elementary school children. Moreover, subscale SDQ analysis showed that hyperactivity, and peer and emotional problems among elementary school children, emotional problems among junior high school children, and conduct problems among senior high school children were related to early and long usage of mobile devices. Elementary school children are more sensitive to mobile device usage than older children, and early use of mobile devices may exacerbate emotional instability and oppositional behaviors in teenagers. Longitudinal follow-up studies are needed to clarify whether these problems disappear with age.

Influence of the arctic climatic conditions of the Kola Peninsula on the reactivity of the sympathetic-adrenal and cardiovascular systems of junior high school children

The growth and development of children aged 7-10 years takes place under conditions of continuous learning, and the level of fatigue increases by the end of the school year. Environmental factors of the Kola Peninsula play a special role here. the process of adaptation of the organism takes place in all age and gender groups. The most obvious is the reactivity of the cardiovascular and sympathetic-adrenal systems to physical load, which enhances the correlation links between indicators of the two active systems. It happens in the following way: by the end of the academic year, in all age and gender groups before the polar day, a proven shift of the observed indicators is recorded. The results obtained provide a comprehensive picture of age-related adaptation changes and increase in the level of fatigue in the arctic climate conditions of the Kola Peninsula. Examinations of children aged 7-10 years showed that age dynamics of cardiovascular and sympathoadrenal systems indicators is non-linear and significantly depends on specific parts of the academic year. This may be due to the periodicity of the polar night, namely, as the functional capabilities of particular systems tend to increase with age, certain indicators have a wave-like character of changes.

Impact of School-Based Health Education on Dengue Prevention and Control in an Urban Area during an Epidemic

Background: Most school communities lack awareness and health education toward dengue and its transmission. Aim: To assess the impact of implemented school-based health education intervention program on cognitive and affective domain as well as behavior of high school children as a change agent in the prevention and control of dengue fever in an urban area. Methods: All the children were self-administered a pretested semi-structured questionnaire to assess the baseline knowledge and attitude on dengue fever and its prevention in an epidemic. Multimodal health education intervention was provided and after 1 week, the same questionnaire was used to assess the postintervention level of knowledge and attitude. The Chi-square test and ordinal logistic regression were performed in R. v. 3.5.2. Sample of students was administered observation checklist to document the practices. Results: Majority belonged to the Class X 379 (60.64%) and their level of knowledge during pretest was higher compared to Class VIII and IX. Posttest, level of education of father's (P = 0.006), student's (P = 0.000), and occupation of mother's (P = 0.048) significantly associated with knowledge of students. While mother's education significantly associated with both knowledge (P = 0.000) and (P < 0.036) attitude of the students toward dengue fever. Knowledge and attitude of the students toward dengue significantly improved posttest. There was significant change in behavior practices as evident by reduction of breeding sites after intervention. Conclusion: The cognitive and affective domain of the high school students toward dengue fever improved after the health education program along with behavioral change which highlights the role of students as change agents.

Physical Activity as an Element of Health Life Style among High School Children’s: an Analytical Approach

Physical inactivity is one of the most alarming health indicators in the world. Physical activity and fitness levels decline worldwide among children and adolescents. The use of electronic entertainment in Pakistan affects the activity levels of students. Objectives: To compare physical activity levels of urban and rural high school children using analytical study. Methods: A cross-section study was conducted on 200 government high school children (ages 12-16 years) in Rawalpindi city, Pakistan. Data on physical fitness were collected through different physical fitness tests and BMI by measuring height and weight. Physical activity was assessed through physical activity questionnaire (PAQ-A) and a youth physical activity questionnaire (Y-PAQ). Results: Analysis of study in term of different fitness shows that the mean score of pushups was 14.9050±8.91704, and the mean for standing vertical jump was 28.3700±5.35035. The mean of the 30-meter sprint was 4.3667±.34039, and the mean of sit and reach test was 27.7700±4.09401. The mean of the handstand was 3.8600±9.02038. Conclusions: Based on the findings, the researcher concluded that physical activity and physical fitness levels are low in rural and urban high school children. Still, there is no significant difference in physical activity and physical fitness levels between rural and urban high school children. The rural students were better in height and weight, but the BMI rate was higher in urban students.

Wearable Artificial Intelligence for Assessing Physical Activity in High School Children

Eighty one percent of adolescents aged 11–17 years are inadequately physically active worldwide. Physical activity (PA) recommendations for high school children have not been studied previously in schools in the Qatar region. The objectives of the study were: (i) to assess the level of compliance of the recommended PA and to assess if there are any gender differences; and (ii) to analyze the recommended step count compliance during school and non-school days. An observational cross-sectional study was conducted. Twenty-nine children (12 boys and 17 girls) aged 13–17 years (15.24 ± 1.46) took part in this study. Participants wore Fitbit Charge 5 wrist bands for three weeks to collect various digital biomarkers including moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and step counts (tracking during out-of-school time and school time). Based on this study, high school children in the two Qatar region schools did not meet the MVPA and steps/day recommendation by the established agencies: 38% of the total study group met the recommended 60 min/day of activity (50% boys, 29% girls). Gender differences were also observed in PA levels and steps per day: for non-school days, 17% met the recommended 10,000 steps/day (25% boys, 12% girls). There was a pattern of greater PA performance and steps during the weekdays as opposed to the weekend, but these values showed no robust evidence in favor of H1 or statistical significance for step counts. However, the evidence was robust in favor of H1 (difference between weekend and weekday) due to a statistically significant difference for meeting the 60 min/day activity. While further studies are required to establish if this is a general trend in Qatari schools, this pilot study does highlight the need to design more effective programs and messaging strategies to improve PA levels in the high school population.

PREVALENCE OF PARENTS’ INVOLVEMENT IN EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES AND STUDENT’S PERFORMANCE: AN ANALYSIS OF CROSS-SECTIONAL SURVEY IN MULTAN, PAKISTAN

A young child's experience in secondary to higher high school is intimidating and stressful. A high school may have a more complicated learning environment than an elementary school. When parents’ try to educate their children, they want the best educational performance and a high level of educational behavior. Many failures in children's educational performance are associated with bad behaviour, poor social environment, lack of income and parents’ involvement in their children's educational activities. At the same time, there has been limited study on parents’ involvement in educational activities and how parents’ influence high school children's educational performance. So, the study's objective was to analyze the dependency between parents’ involvement and the student's educational performance. Subsequently, the cross-sectional study was carried out from January to March 2022 in Multan city with 150 male students and 150 female students of tenth class from both public and private secondary level schools. Simple random sampling was used to choose six boys' high schools (one included a public school and one private school) and six girls' schools (one included a public school and one private school), equally presenting both public and private schools. An interview schedule was used to collect data about the study variables among the study respondents. The Qui-square was used to analyze the dependency between parents’ involvement and children's educational performance. The study's findings concluded that parents’ involvement and the student's educational performance are significantly dependent, and the high school student's educational performance is influenced by various perspectives of parents’ involvement in their children's educational activities and parents’ demographic characteristics.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE COMBINATION OF DEMONSTRATION AND ROLE-PLAY METHODS TO IMPROVE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT CHOKING MANAGEMENT

The child mortality rate increases yearly, and 57 are due to a lack of understanding of the general public about first aid for choking patients. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the combined demonstration and roleplay method in increasing knowledge about choking management in junior high school students. This study used a quasi-experimental research design with a non-equivalent control group design. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with a sample of 60 junior high school children, consisting of 30 intervention and 30 control groups. The results showed that the Demonstration and Role Play methods effectively increased choking management in junior high school students with a p-value of 0.001. Meanwhile, the control group who was given education with leaflets showed a p-value of 0.004 which means there was also a significant effect after the action was presented. This study shows that providing health education through a combination of demonstration and roleplay methods is proven more effective in increasing knowledge about choking management in junior high school students than the standard method through leaflets.&#x0D; Keywords: Chocking, Demonstration, Role Play, Knowledge, Junior High School Students

Mitigating Rural Adolescent Trauma: Remote Delivery of a Trauma-Informed Yoga Intervention During COVID-19.

Given the prevalence of childhood trauma in rural Montana, this project is intended to help mitigate stressors that may contribute to poor behavioral and mental health in high school-aged children, which may be exacerbated by the collective trauma of the COVID-19 pandemic. The immediate goal was to measure physical and mental health outcomes in adolescents resulting from a remotely delivered trauma-informed yoga intervention designed to foster positive youth development. Our study builds on the successes from an initial feasibility pilot study one year prior in order to evaluate a more robust intervention comparing experimental and control group outcomes. Students at a small, rural high school in Montana volunteered to participate in a 6-week, twice-weekly trauma-informed yoga intervention in their physical education class. Validated survey measures, including the PHQ-A, GAD-7, and ACE-Q instruments, were utilized to measure mental health outcomes pre- vs. post-intervention. Salivary cortisol levels were also measured pre-, mid-, and post-intervention. Statistically significant declines in cortisol levels and improvements in sleep duration were noted when comparing experimental vs. control groups. Noteworthy declines in depression and anxiety levels were also seen when comparing the treatment to control groups. Descriptive differences between the control and experimental groups illustrate the mental health benefits of reduced anxiety and depressive symptoms in rural adolescents resulting from a remotely delivered trauma-informed yoga intervention. Our study holds the potential for a long-term public health impact in reducing adolescent rates of anxiety and depression while mitigating trauma in geographically isolated settings.

Fluid Intelligence Test Scores Across the Schooling: Evidence of Nonlinear Changes in Girls and Boys

The results of the analyses of the changes of fluid intelligence scores measured by the Standard Progressive Matrices test across all school years were presented. Sex differences in fluid intelligence scores for each year of schooling as well as in fluid intelligence changes across schooling were analyzed. A total of 1581 participants (51.1% boys) aged 6.8 to 19.1 years from one public school were involved in this cross-sectional study, of whom 871 were primary schoolchildren (mean age = 9.23; range 6.8–11.6), 507 were secondary schoolchildren (mean age = 14.06; range 10.8–18.0), and 203 were high schoolchildren (mean age = 17.25; range 15.3–19.1). To examine the changes in fluid intelligence both correlation analysis and polynomial regression of the total, boys’ and girls’ samples were performed. Linear, quadratic, and cubic regression models were fitted to the data. To explore sex differences in fluid intelligence in each year of schooling, the series of ANOVA were carried out. The results revealed that the school-age change in fluid intelligence is nonlinear for both girls and boys. The changes for girls during the schooling are best described by a quadratic relationship while those for boys are best reflected by a cubic relationship.
