Analisis kedisiplinan guru dalam proses pembelajaran di SMA Negeri 2 Purworejo: Studi Kualitatif

Background: Teacher discipline is one of the important factors that play a role in the success of the learning process in schools. Teachers who are disciplined in carrying out their duties, both in administration, implementation of learning, and evaluation of learning, can create a conducive learning atmosphere and support the achievement of educational goals. Purpose: This study aims to describe (1) the characteristics of teacher discipline in learning administration; (2) the characteristics of teacher discipline in implementing learning; (3) the characteristics of teacher discipline in evaluating learning. Method: This study is descriptive qualitative research and was held at Senior High School 2 Purworejo. The interviewees are principal, vice principals, teachers and students. Method collection data used are observation, deep interview, and documentation. Data analysis was done with the use of analysis technique in site-organized. The triangulation was applied to seek for the data validity. Findings: The results of the study show that: (1) some teachers were still doing minor infringements or violation of the rules whether in related to administration, implementation or evaluation learning. Medium and heavy infringements or violation categories were not found in this study. If it happened, the violator will be given a sanction as a criminal for heavy infringement or in the form of dismissal from the position; (2) The efforts which are undertaken by school for preventing the existence of infringements or violations done by the teachers is doing regulations socialization concerning the implementation of government employee or teachers discipline. Other efforts to do so are holding a teacher coaching periodically and continuously, and do supervision; (3) having high awareness among the teachers in not to do discipline infringement or violation causes the effectiveness in teaching and learning activities (KBM). This achievement is able to increase the teaching and learning quality.

Research on the System of First Violation without Penalty

With the continuous deepening of the construction of a digital rule of law government and the implementation of the principle of inclusive and prudent supervision in multiple fields represented by the business sector, the latest revised Administrative Penalty Law of the People's Republic of China in 2021 has for the first time stipulated the first violation without penalty system in Article 33. The "first violation without penalty " system draws on the "minor violation without punishment" system and conforms to the trend of government function transformation, which is a novel measure in the field of administrative law enforcement. In this article, the author will analyze the system from two levels. At the theoretical level, the connotation of the system will be explained through its origin, practical significance, and comparison with "minor non punishment"; At the practical level, analyze the practicality of the system by combining the "first violation without penalty " lists from multiple regions. The author will also analyze the problems that exist during the implementation of the system and provide their own suggestions.

Psychological aspects of stress and stress resistance in modern conditions

The main problem: the article highlights the problem of dealing with stressful situations that are often found in the daily life of a human being. Purpose: to define the concepts of "stress" and "stress tolerance", to analyze some methods of working through stressful situations, stress relief. Methods: the article discusses active exercises and trainings to relieve tension and reduce stress, some self-regulation techniques. The results and their significance: the stress management techniques we offer can help a person cope with the abundance of stress that he has to face in everyday life. In addition, we also consider such techniques that can prevent the subsequent occurrence of so–called distress – the harmful effects of stress on the human body and its health. Each person has their own individual scenario of behavior under stress "in terms of frequency and form of manifestation." Most often, this scenario is learned in childhood. The direction of stress aggression is also repeated: at yourself or at others. One blames himself for everything and looks, first of all, for his mistakes. The other blames everyone around him, but not himself. The stress scenario learned in childhood is "triggered" almost automatically. In these cases, a minor violation of the usual rhythm of life and work is enough, as the stress mechanism turns on and begins to "unwind" almost against the will of the person. Self-regulation is a person's ability to arbitrarily manage their activities. The ability to self-regulate is a very important quality that helps a person maintain internal balance, preventing information from entering his consciousness that poses a threat to his well-being. It is also important to learn how to manage your feelings, independently regulate your emotional state.

Radiotherapy dose escalation using pre-treatment diffusion-weighted imaging in locally advanced rectal cancer: a planning study.

Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) may provide biologically relevant target volumes for dose-escalated radiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). This planning study assessed the dosimetric feasibility of delivering hypofractionated boost treatment to intra-tumoural regions of restricted diffusion prior to conventional long-course radiotherapy. Ten patients previously treated with curative-intent standard long-course radiotherapy (50 Gy/25#) were re-planned. Boost target volumes (BTVs) were delineated semi-automatically using 40th centile intra-tumoural apparent diffusion coefficient value with expansions (anteroposterior 11 mm, transverse 7 mm, craniocaudal 13 mm). Biased-dosed combined plans consisted of a single-fraction volumetric modulated arc therapy flattening-filter-free (VMAT-FFF) boost (phase 1) of 5, 7, or 10 Gy before long-course VMAT (phase 2). Phase 1 plans were assessed with reference to stereotactic conformality and deliverability measures. Combined plans were evaluated with reference to standard long-course therapy dose constraints. Phase 1 BTV dose targets at 5/7/10 Gy were met in all instances. Conformality constraints were met with only 1 minor violation at 5 and 7 Gy. All phase 1 and combined phase 1 + 2 plans passed patient-specific quality assurance. Combined phase 1 + 2 plans generally met organ-at-risk dose constraints. Exceptions included high-dose spillage to bladder and large bowel, predominantly in cases where previously administered, clinically acceptable non-boosted plans also could not meet constraints. Targeted upfront LARC radiotherapy dose escalation to DWI-defined is feasible with appropriate patient selection and preparation. This is the first study to evaluate the feasibility of DWI-targeted upfront radiotherapy boost in LARC. This work will inform an upcoming clinical feasibility study.

Measurement Invariance of the Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory in Male and Female Million Veteran Program Enrollees Completing the Comprehensive Traumatic Brain Injury Evaluation.

This study evaluated measurement invariance across males and females on the Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory (NSI) in U.S. military veterans enrolled in the VA Million Veteran Program. Participants (N = 17,059; males: n = 15,450; females: n = 1,609) included Veterans who took part in the VA Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Screening and Evaluation Program and completed the NSI. Multiple-group confirmatory factor analyses investigated measurement invariance of the NSI 4-factor model. The configural (comparative fit index [CFI] = 0.948, root mean square error of approximation [RMSEA] = 0.060) and metric (CFI = 0.948, RMSEA = 0.058) invariance models showed acceptable fit. There was a minor violation of scalar invariance (Δχ2 = 232.50, p < .001); however, the degree of noninvariance was mild (ΔCFI = -0.002, ). Our results demonstrate measurement invariance across sex, suggesting that the NSI 4-factor model can be used to accurately assess symptoms in males and females following TBI. Findings highlight the importance of considering validity of measurement across study groups to increase confidence that a measure is interpreted similarly by respondents from different subgroups.

The Feasibility of Quality Assurance in the TOPGEAR International Phase 3 Clinical Trial of Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation Therapy for Gastric Cancer (an Intergroup Trial of the AGITG/TROG/NHMRC CTC/EORTC/CCTG)

The TOPGEAR phase 3 trial hypothesized that adding preoperative chemoradiation therapy (CRT) to perioperative chemotherapy will improve survival in patients with gastric cancer. Owing to the complexity of gastric irradiation, a comprehensive radiation therapy quality assurance (RTQA) program was implemented. Our objective is to describe the RTQA methods and outcomes. RTQA was undertaken in real time before treatment for the first 5 patients randomized to CRT from each center. Once acceptable quality was achieved, RTQA was completed for one-third of subsequent cases. RTQA consisted of evaluating (1) clinical target volume and organ-at-risk contouring and (2) radiation therapy planning parameters. Protocol violations between high- (20+ patients enrolled) and low-volume centers were compared using the Fisher exact test. TOPGEAR enrolled 574 patients, of whom 286 were randomized to receive preoperative CRT and 203 (71%) were included for RTQA. Of these, 67 (33%) and 136 (67%) patients were from high- and low-volume centers, respectively. The initial RTQA pass rate was 72%. In total, 28% of cases required resubmission. In total, 200 of 203 cases (99%) passed RTQA before treatment. Cases from low-volume centers required resubmission more often (44/136 [33%] vs 13/67 [18%]; P=.078). There was no change in the proportion of cases requiring resubmission over time. Most cases requiring resubmission had multiple protocol violations. At least 1 aspect of the clinical target volume had to be adjusted in all cases. Inadequate coverage of the duodenum was most common (53% major violation, 25% minor violation). For the remaining cases, the resubmission process was triggered secondary to poor contour/plan quality. In a large multicenter trial, RTQA is feasible and effective in achieving high-quality treatment plans. Ongoing education should be performed to ensure consistent quality during the entire study period.

Fraud Behavior in Perspective Human Resource Development

Purpose: This study aims at finding out how the perspective of human resource development is in understanding and interpreting fraud behavior based on the informants' awareness of the state civil apparatus. Theoretical framework: Fraud behavior that will be investigated by researchers is fraud behavior which is the lowest or minor violation in the Human Resources and Human Resources Development Agency, but as a result that is not handled and resolved then the violation increases to moderate and high or severe which can threaten or provide opportunities for the country's civil apparatus likely to be dishonorably discharged. This means that prevention and opportunities to overcome them are not found holistically and comprehensively. For this reason, using the perspective of human resource development to be studied is expected to contribute, especially for the state civil apparatus to focus on developing themselves. Because when a person focuses on developing himself then cheating behavior will not be done because the concerned focus on developing himself because he already knows his potential. Design/methodology/approach: This research uses a phenomenological qualitative research method. Findings: The results of this study indicate that the perpetrators of fraud interpret fraud behavior as an expression of disappointment and dissatisfaction and consider this as something humanist under pressure because it is triggered by the dilemmatic conditions they face. In this case, the perspective of human resource development has three main components, namely the economic, psychological and system dimensions which are based on the ethics of human resource development as a complement to the three components. Research, Practical &amp; Social implications: The researcher elaborates and adds the perspective of developing human resources with fraudulent behavior as an effort to prevent this fraudulent behavior from occurring. Originality/value: The researcher adds that integrity is an additional table leg as the implementation of fraudulent behavior.

Implementation of Work Discipline That Affects Employee Performance in the General Administrative Services Section in the Pebayuran District Office Bekasi District

This study aims to determine the implementation of work discipline that affects the performance of employees in the general administration service section at the Pebayuran District Office, Bekasi Regency, which is located at Jalan Raya Pebayuran, Kertasari Village. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive method. To obtain information, data collection techniques were carried out by triangulation (combined) using the methods of observation, interviews, questionnaires and data sources. The population of this study were all employees of the Pebayuran sub-district office, totaling 40 employees and the sample of this study was 8 employees in the general administration service division. The results of the study show that the level of discipline for employees of the general administration service section at the Pebayuran sub-district office, namely attendance is quite low in 2021, the low level of employee absenteeism affects the level of employee performance in making E-KTP in 2021, it is necessary to take action from the leadership to can increase the employee's absenteeism by giving punishment in the form of a verbal warning if the employee commits a minor violation, SP1 and SP2 if the employee commits a moderate violation, SP3 if the employee commits a serious violation, then the leadership provides an attendance or fingerprint application for all employees. It is hoped that in the future, after the application of work discipline, the performance of the general administration service employees of the Pebayuran sub-district office will increase, and their discipline and performance will also increase.

Pengaturan Penjatuhan Sanksi terhadap Pelanggaran Berat yang Dilakukan oleh Notaris dalam Perspektif Peraturan Perundang-Undangan

Sanction about violations that commited by Notary are regulated in Notary position regulation and ethics code of Notary. But, there is no further explanation regarding the form of violations such as what can be said as a minor violation to a serious violation in the imposition of a Notary sanction cause the ambiguity of norms in Article 9 paragraph (1) letter d regarding Notary violations and Article 12 letter d regarding gross violations by Notary. The purpose of this study is to find out and analyze the arrangements of sanctions imposition for gross violations committed by Notary and Notary legal efforts that are sanctioned for gross violations in the perspective of laws and regulations by using the type of normative juridical law research. To determine the types of violations or classification of notary violations, based on the review and policy of the Notary Supervisory Assembly as an authorized official with reference to applicable laws and regulations because there is no further explanation of the classification of notary violations. If the Notary feels the objection to being sanctioned for gross violations, then the Notary can file a legal effort that is to file a lawsuit with the State Administrative Court.

Operating outside the spirit of the law: How police employ “legal” standards to justify questionable searches and seizures

The Fourth Amendment protects individuals against unreasonable searches and seizures. Over the years, court precedents have guided determinations of reasonableness and provided a legal structure for police to follow. In two influential decisions, the Supreme Court validated pretextual traffic stops in which the motorist committed a minor traffic violation ( Whren v United States, 1996), and established the standard of reasonable suspicion for brief investigatory stops and limited weapon searches ( Terry v Ohio, 1968). Using 42 suppression motions filed in a US state, we examine whether and how police apply these legal parameters to case patterns to justify stops, searches and seizures. We find that police use pretexts to justify traffic stops, and often rely on conclusory and laconic descriptions to support determinations of reasonable suspicion. Although often upheld by courts, these applications of the law are contrary to the spirit of the Fourth Amendment.

Dealkenylation of neoandrographolide, a phytochemical from Andrographis paniculata stimulates FXR (Farnesoid X Receptor) and enhances gallstone dissolution

FXR (Farnesoid X Receptor) is one of the nuclear receptors expressed in the liver performing a significant role in the maintenance of bile acid concentration. An imbalance of cholesterol and bile acid ratio due to any undefined reason could cause gallstone formation. Hence, this paper aims to screen phytochemicals that could maintain a requisite balance of cholesterol and bile acid by targeting FXR and thereby contributing to the dissolution of gallstone. Nineteen phytochemicals were selected and queried for Pa and Pi in the way2drug online server for hepatoprotective property, cholesterol synthesis and absorption inhibition property, and β-glucuronidase inhibiting activity. Cianidanol, neoandrographolide, cynarine, saponins, and tanins with satisfying stated properties were docked with the screened FXR (PDB ID- 1OSH) using HADDOCK server, followed by pharmacokinetics study utilizing SwissADME tool. Neoandrographolide fits best among the other selected literature-based phytochemicals with minor violation of ‘Brenk’s rule’. The violation was corrected with the removal of an alkene group in the provided ChemDraw space of SwissADME. This Dealkenylated compound was further docked with FXR. The promising response under the static condition of the Dealkenylated compound was analyzed for molecular dynamic simulation at physiological conditions for 100 ns. Dealkenylated Neoandrographolide (DN) exhibited hepatoprotective, cholesterol synthesis and absorption inhibition property, and β-glucuronidase inhibition activity with a superior binding score of −42.6+/-1.5 with FXR. The interaction of the FXR receptor and the DN showed exceptional stability at physiological conditions during MD simulation and fit for the ADME properties, therefore it could be a potent candidate to dissolve gallstones.

Гражданское неповиновение: понятие и критерии допустимости

The article examines the phenomenon of civil disobedience from the standpoint of justice. The views of foreign political theorists on civil disobedience are analyzed. It is concluded that foreign authors usually identify such criteria for the admissibility of civil disobedience as extreme necessity, probability of success, proportionality, correct motive, semi-communicative nature, publicity and non-violence of civil disobedience, and the readiness to be punished for it. Further, these views are criticized. The point of view is expressed that only extreme necessity and proportionality are convincing criteria for the moral justification of civil disobedience. In turn, the correct motive and semi-communicative character are justified as signs of civil disobedience, not as criteria for its admissibility. At the same time, non-violence, publicity and readiness to accept punishment are considered only as manifestations of the semi-communicative nature of civil disobedience. Further, the views of domestic jurists are analyzed. It is shown, in particular, that the widespread opinion among them, according to which violation of the law is permissible only in cases of obvious and extreme injustice of this law, is superficial, and does not take into account, for example, the case when a minor violation of the law is the only mean contributing to the correction of minor injustices, but does not undermine the rule of law as such. In addition, it refutes the positivist thesis that violation of the law cannot be admissible. Civil disobedience is justified by the understanding of the social system as “striving for justice”. It is argued that for a social system to promote justice, it must be both firm and flexible. It is concluded that the social norm is always a compromise between abstractness and concreteness: the relative abstractness of the law is an effective way to sacrifice concreteness as such (fair or unfair) in order to ensure at least partial justice. It is indicated that it is necessary to find the optimal balance of abstractness and concreteness, on the other hand, it is also necessary to determine the consequences of non-compliance with the law that does not correspond to the optimum.

Is care by grandparents or parents better for children's non-cognitive skills? Evidence on locus of control from China

This study investigates the effect of grandparental involvement in childcare on children's locus of control (LOC), which is an important non-cognitive skill that affects children's future development. We use data from the China Family Panel Studies, which is a nationally representative survey, and employ instrumental variables to address the endogeneity of family childcare choice. We find that children with grandparental care have more external LOC than children in the sole care of their parents do; that is, they are more likely to attribute individual success to external factors, such as luck, fate, and family background. This finding is robust to different measures of grandparental involvement in childcare and different model specifications, as well as a minor violation of the exclusion restriction of the instruments. We further examine the potential mechanisms underlying this effect. Grandparents have more external LOC than parents do, which can affect children's LOC through intergenerational transmission of LOC. Their parenting attitudes and styles are also different from parents' in that grandparents take less responsibility for children's academic performance than parents do and are less strict with children. In addition, grandparental care induces adverse effects on children's family environment.

Neural variability fingerprint predicts individuals’ information security violation intentions

As the weakest links in information security defense are the individuals in an organizations, it is important to understand their information security behaviors. In the current study, we tested whether the neural variability pattern could predict an individual's intention to engage in information security violations. Because cognitive neuroscience methods can provide a new perspective into psychological processes without common methodological biases or social desirability, we combined an adapted version of the information security paradigm (ISP) with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technology. While completing an adapted ISP task, participants underwent an fMRI scan. We adopted a machine learning method to build a neural variability predictive model. Consistent with previous studies, we found that people were more likely to take actions under neutral conditions than in minor violation contexts and major violation contexts. Moreover, the neural variability predictive model, including nodes within the task control, default mode, visual, salience and attention networks, can predict information security violation intentions. These results illustrate the predictive value of neural variability for information security violations and provide a new perspective for combining ISP with the fMRI technique to explore a neural predictive model of information security violation intention.

Investigation of Contributing Factors to Traffic Crashes and Violations: A Random Parameter Multinomial Logit Approach

This study investigates contributing factors to traffic violations by seriousness. The traffic violations are divided into four categories by seriousness (unintentional violation, minor violation, serious violation, and crash with violation). The results of the random parameter multinomial logit model indicate that various factors potentially affect the severity of traffic violations. The key findings include the following: (1) female drivers are more likely to commit minor violations; (2) drivers from an area with a longer travel time to work and a higher proportion of driving to work are more likely to have minor violations and serious violations, while those from the high-income area are less likely; (3) drivers are more likely to be associated with a more minor infraction during the afternoon peak (4 p.m.–6 p.m.). The results from this study are expected to be beneficial for policymakers and traffic police to comprehend the factors affecting violations and implement effective strategies to minimize the number and seriousness of traffic violations.

Perkembangan Akuntansi Thailand dan Analisis Shenanigans pada Perusahaan Group Lease

Thailand is ASEAN country that managed to escape colonialism. However, like Anglo American countries, the country's accounting system emphasizes the transparency and information needs of investors. After the 1997 financial crisis, Thailand reformed to improve government cooperation and investment competition. Thailand's economy is recovering rapidly and is showing good growth. Due to economic growth, the poverty rate also fell. There are types of Thai state accounting standards namely International Financial reporting standards (IFRS) and Thai accounting standards (IFAC). The current development of accounting has to do with manipulation in the company's financial statements. A financial shenanigan is a false statement about the status and financial performance in a financial statement. Financial fraud can be a minor violation, such as through the free interpretation of accounting principles where it has 7 categories of shenanigans. In this discussion, the author presented an analysis of accounting progress in Indonesia with Thailand and analyzed 7 shenanigans to manipulate financial statements in Thai state companies. In this article take the company that makes the selected object that is the Group Lease company. This Group Lease is one of the companies originating from Thailand which is engaged in financing services. This method of research shows that group lease companies manipulate shenanigans 2.

ANALISIS YURIDIS TERHADAP PELANGGARAN LALU LINTAS YANG MENIMBULKAN KECELAKAAN BERAKIBAT KEMATIAN (STUDI PENELITIAN POLRESTA BARELANG KOTA BATAM)

Juridical Analysis Traffic violations that cause death, violations are the main factors causing accidents that result in injuries or death, Law Number 25 of 2009 concerning Road Transportation Traffic is the main legal basis for this research with how is it applied in the field whether it is effective being obeyed by the community or not yet depending on the legal awareness of each of these people. This study aims to find out about traffic violations that cause accidents resulting in death which must be applied in every traffic activity in order to prosecute the Indonesian people, especially in the Batam City area and to find out the duties and authorities of the Barelang Police, Batam. starting from traffic violations, the driver does not control the vehicle or is not careful, and does not have a SIM, so he does not understand traffic rules and lacks ethics in driving. This writing uses the empirical normative research method, in empirical research it is carried out to obtain primary data, namely by interviewing the Traffic Office or, while normative research is carried out through a study of statutory regulations and scientific writing literature related to the Thesis Title. Then, the data were analyzed using qualitative methods. The results showed that traffic violations that still often occur in the handling of traffic units then the Barelang Police and how these obstacles in the process have been running according to the procedure or during the operation. In intellectual terms, public obedience in obeying these rules is a factor as well as an obstacle but if the offender is potentially prone to causing accidents, then a minor violation will be carried out, then an appeal is given from the officer.

Brief of Professors of Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure as Amici Curiae in Support of Petitioner in Carlisle V. Kentucky

Abstract Mr. Carlisle was a passenger in a vehicle stopped by a police officer for suspected vehicle equipment violations. The officer lacked reasonable suspicion, let alone probable cause, to suspect Mr. Carlisle was armed and dangerous, or that he was guilty of engaging in any criminal conduct. All that the officer knew was that Mr. Carlisle, a black man, was a passenger in a vehicle stopped for a minor traffic violation. Despite the absence of any fact-based justification for doing so, the officer demanded that Mr. Carlisle provide identification and ran a criminal background check. The Supreme Court of Kentucky held that police officers are automatically entitled to demand that a passenger like Mr. Carlisle provide identification and then to conduct background investigations of them merely because the passengers were riding in a motor vehicle stopped for a minor traffic violation. This approach—allowing police unregulated discretion to conduct criminal history checks of every vehicle occupant at every traffic stop, permits precisely the sort of arbitrary and unjustified government intrusions prohibited by the Fourth Amendment. By failing to impose even minimal Fourth Amendment standards, the Kentucky Supreme Court grants officers arbitrary authority to subject people to a seizure and search based solely on a hunch. In the absence of facts creating at least reasonable suspicion that passengers are engaged in criminal conduct, or reason to believe that they pose a threat to officer safety, requiring mere passengers to identify themselves and running criminal background checks on them unnecessarily extends the length of detention (a seizure for Fourth Amendment purposes) and exceeds the mission of a valid traffic stop. If allowed to stand, the Kentucky Supreme Court’s decision would permit officers to exercise arbitrary and unjustified authority in more than 1.5 million traffic stops conducted every month.

Environmental Safety and Quality of Plant Food (Example of Grapes)

Actuality. Growing grapes in recent years has become increasingly popular, especially among ordinary farmers. Grapes are unique in their composition, and also extremely useful. Therefore, the determination of its quality and environmental safety in terms of consumption by population is quite topical. Purpose. Determination of ecological safety and quality of plant food (example of grapes) grown in Vysokiy settlement, Kharkiv district of Kharkiv region. Methods. Field, atomic absorption spectrometry method using the spectrometer MGA-915MD, statistical, analytical, comparative-geographical. Results. Berries, grape seeds of 10 grape varieties and soil samples as grape growing medium, were analysed. Analyses for heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Cd, Cr, Pb) concentrations and nitrates content in fruit part were preformed.. It has been determined that heavy metals concentrations in any of the grape varieties does not exceed the normative parameters in berries and seeds. Soil samples also have not shown an excess of MPC. The content of nitrates in the fruit part of the grapes exceeded the standard by 1.5 fold. The coefficient of heavy metals biogeochemical mobility has showed the highest accumulation of Cu and Cr in the fruit part of the grapes. Conclusions. The concentration of heavy metals in the fruit part of the grapes, in the seeds of all grape varieties does not exceed the standards. No clear dependence has been identified to assert the accumulation of heavy metals in grape seeds. Nitrates can accumulate in the fruit part of the grapes. Minor violation of standard for nitrate was identified in the fruit part of the grapes. In general, grapes can be used by the population as a food.
