MODEL OF RISE OF MOVEMENT AT ST. PAUL CATHOLIC JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL IN PALANGKA RAYA

Traffic jams that occur in junior high schools during school hours can be prevented if before determining thelocation of the school, the school or other responsible parties first estimate the traffic generation on land use byknowing the magnitude of the generation, the geometry of the road sections in the area can be planned. school.The aim of this research is to obtain a movement generation model at schools in Palangka Raya City, which it ishoped can be used to estimate the number of movements coming to the school in the future, so that it can beused to anticipate problems arising from travel generation. This research was conducted at St. Paul CatholicMiddle School, Palangka Raya. The research used is quantitative descriptive research using survey methods. Themovement generation model for St. Paul's Catholic Middle School, Palangka Raya, after analyzing the simplelinear regression equation, which is most representative is Y4 = -2380,417 + 4,250 of 0.203. Factors that have astrong influence on the generation of movement at St Paul's Catholic Middle School in Palangka Raya are thenumber of students (X4) and the number of teachers and school employees (X5).

More Than Identity: An Intersectional Approach to Understanding Mental-Emotional Well-Being of Emerging Adults by Centering Lived Experiences of Marginalization.

Understanding social determinants that shape pertinent developmental shifts during emerging adulthood (i.e., ages 18-25 years) and their associations with psychological health requires a nuanced approach. In our exploratory study, we investigated how multiple social identities and lived experiences generated by systems of marginalization and power (e.g., racism, classism, sexism) intersect in connection to the mental-emotional well-being of emerging adults (EAs). Eating and Activity Over Time (EAT, 2010-2018) data were collected from 1,568 EAs (mean age= 22.2 (standard deviation, 2.0) years) recruited initially in 2010 from Minneapolis/St. Paul schools. Conditional inference tree analyses were employed to treat "social location" and systems of marginalization and power as interdependent social factors influencing EAs' mental-emotional well-being outcomes: depressive symptoms, stress, self-esteem, and self-compassion. Conditional inference tree analyses identified EAs' subgroups with differing mean levels of mental-emotional well-being outcomes, distinguished primarily by marginalized social experiences (e.g., discrimination, financial difficulties) rather than social identities themselves. The relative positioning of EAs' experiences of social marginalization (e.g., discrimination) to their social identities (e.g., race/ethnicity) suggests that the social experiences generated by systems of privilege and oppression (e.g., racism) are more adjacent social determinants of mental-emotional well-being than the social identities used in public health research to proxy the oppressive systems that give them social meaning.

존 프라이어(John Fryer) 연구: “그는 선교사인가 과학 전파자인가?”

John Fryer (1839-1928, Chinese name 傅兰雅) came to China as a layman missionary and devoted himself to educational missionary work while going through the Hong Kong St. Paul's School, the School of Combined Learning and the Shanghai Anglo-Chinese School. However, as relations with the Church Missionary Society went sour, he become devoted to the spread of science, unlike the path of a general missionary. He mainly tried to modernize China through the spread of Western scientific civilization, including the Kiangnan Arsenal and The Chinese Scientific and Industrial Magazine, Gezhi Senior High School of Shanghai and the publication of science textbooks through the The School and Textbook Series Committee. But he wondered what role Christianity, as a religion, should play in Chinese society through the proper combination of religion and science, as well as the spread of science. Although it maintained a thorough separation of religion and science at the site of the dissemination of scientific knowledge, religion was intended to serve as a source of capacity to save China from crisis in the spiritual and moral sphere. Thus, Fryer sought his own unique path and always expected the impact of Christianity on the course of the transformation of Chinese society through a balance between religion and science. He was a missionary and also a propagandist of science.

Adolescent's life style behavior in relation to mother's education level

Background: Unhealthy life style behavior of adolescents in developing countries like Bangladesh creates a tremendous public health burden. Mother's education is a particularly important factor affecting adolescent's life style behavior development.
 Objectives: The study was done to find out the adolescent's life style behavior and their relation with mother's education level that reflected their knowledge level.
 Methodology: This was a cross sectional descriptive study. Two hundred seventeen students were selected by systematic sampling method from adolescent (10-16 year) which was carried out among the students of Rev. Paul's high school, Khulna city from January 2015 to December 2015.
 Results: Among 217 students, 81.1% student have good personal hygiene practices which was statistically tested that revealed that there was positive relation between mother's knowledge level and adolescent's personal hygiene behavior. It was found that majority (56.7%) have no sedentary habit, among them 62.9% respondent's mother have higher educational knowledge level. So it was revealed that higher education level of mother decreased their child's sedentary habit. It was found that 53.2% child did not like to read book which was statistically not significant. From this result it was found that 56% mothers who have higher educational knowledge level, there children liked to have exercise practice that was statistically significant.
 Conclusion: The result might be helpful for developing awareness among adolescents as well as parents regarding unhealthy life style behavior of adolescents to reduce the risk of unusual health outcome.

Do Parents Perceive That Organized Activities Interfere with Family Meals? Associations between Parent Perceptions and Aspects of the Household Eating Environment

BackgroundResearch has related child participation in organized activities to health and academic benefits; however, participation may interfere with family meals. ObjectiveExamine whether parents perceive child participation in organized activities to interfere with family meals and how perceptions are related to the household eating environment. DesignA cross-sectional analysis was completed using survey data collected in 2015-2016 as part of the Project EAT (Eating and Activity in Teens and Young Adults) cohort study. ParticipantsSurvey participants were originally recruited in Minneapolis–St Paul schools in 1998-1999. The analytic subsample of parents (one per household, n=389, 69% female, 31% nonwhite race, mean age=31) had one or more children involved in an organized activity. Approximately 33% of households included a child aged 2 to 5 and no older child; two thirds of households included school-aged children (6 to 18 years). Main outcome measuresParents reported family meal frequency, family meal scheduling difficulties, frequency of at-home meal preparation, and their own intake of fast food, fruit, and vegetables. Statistical analyses performedAnalyses compared household environment characteristics reported by parents who perceived low interference between organized activities and family meals to characteristics reported by parents who perceived moderate to high interference from at least one form of activity. Regression models included a dichotomous indicator of interference as the independent variable and were adjusted for parental and household characteristics. ResultsAmong parents with children at any age, moderate to high interference was associated with lower family meal frequency, greater difficulty scheduling family meals, and more fast-food intake (all P≤0.01). The perception of moderate to high interference was more common among parents who reported involvement in both sport and nonsport activities (P<0.001) and those with a school-aged child (P<0.001) vs those with only preschool-aged children. ConclusionsFollow-up research, including qualitative studies, is needed to identify the specific aspects of child participation in organized activities (eg, scheduled time of day) that may interfere with family meals.

Didáctica del teorema de Pitágoras mediada por las TIC: el caso de una clase de Matemáticas

De acuerdo con los resultados históricos del programa PISA de la Organización de Cooperación y Desarrollo Económico, los jóvenes latinoamericanos tienen deficiencias en la resolución de problemas matemáticos que exigen habilidades y competencias de alto nivel. En este contexto, aunque el promedio de desempeño de Colombia ha mejorado considerablemente desde 2006, todavía se evidencian dificultades en dicha área. En tal sentido, este trabajo, por medio de la investigación-acción participativa (IAP), hace una propuesta de implementación de herramientas TIC para facilitar la enseñanza y aprendizaje del teorema de Pitágoras en la clase de Matemáticas del grado octavo (8) del colegio San Vicente de Paúl de Barranquilla. Se emplea un enfoque cualitativo para analizar la información recabada por medio de observaciones, entrevistas y encuestas. Los hallazgos indican que la mediación de herramientas TIC, específicamente de software matemático, puede mejorar la competencia de profesor e influye en la mejora del aprendizaje de los alumnos porque potencia el interés y la comprensión de los temas.

Sapientia and Stultitia in John Colet's Commentary on First Corinthians

ABSTRACTWhile John Colet, friend of Erasmus and founder of St Paul's School, London, was himself widely read in Classical and pagan authors, he famously characterized pagan books as having the ‘savour of the Demon’ and exhorted minor clergy to reject human or secular wisdom. This article seeks to resolve the apparent tension between Colet's disparagement of human wisdom in his commentary on First Corinthians and his own use of pagan learning and humanist activities. Through a close analysis of Colet's understanding of human and divine wisdom and human stultitia (foolishness) in the commentary, the article argues that Colet's principal concern in reproaching human wisdom (sapientia) was the moral purity of his audience. The article concludes by considering how Colet's view of secular wisdom, thus conceived, represented an early expression of his commitment to religious, ecclesiastical and moral reform.

N.T. Wright’s New Perspective on Paul: What implications for Anglican doctrine?

The entrance of New Perspectives on Paul as a reinterpretation of what the Apostle Paul wrote evoked varied responses, especially within the evangelical circles of the Reformed community. Interestingly, one of the foremost thinkers within the New Perspectives on Paul school is the retired Anglican Bishop and New Testament scholar Nicholas Thomas Wright. Wright’s scholarship is interesting to study, given his prominence within evangelical circles in general and his respectable standing within the Anglican Communion in particular. Yet there does not appear to be any coherent response or position from the Anglican Communion in relation to the New Perspectives on Paul, let alone Wright’s views. The key question posed in this article is whether Wright’s writings might influence Anglican doctrine. The Communion’s soteriological doctrine as contained in Articles XI, XII and XIII of the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion may be understood to affirm the ‘old perspective on Paul’ and its ‘justification by faith only, and not by good works’ approach. Finally, the article examines the complexities that Wright’s influence might have, in the form of a possible shift in doctrinal posture, and the implications for church structures that such a shift might necessitate.

A study to assess the effectiveness of planned health teaching programme on knowledge regarding oral hygiene practices among children (8–10 years) in a selected school at Rajkot, Gujarat.

Health is a fundamental human right. It is central to the concept of quality of life. Today's children are tomorrow's leader. They form 38%-40% of our world population. One of the major health care concept faced by these promises of future are oral health problems, more commonly dental caries. The higher concentration of health care facilities in urban areas of India prevents the rural population from receiving proper health care facilities in time. This is a major concern of health care services in developing countries including India. Adding to, this illiteracy, poverty and over growing population made it difficult to render better health care services to all. Hence prevention seems to be the only solution in promoting oral health and there by the overall health. A Quantitative research approach with Pre-Experimental One group pre-test, post-test design was adopted for this study. The conceptual frame work for this study was based on J.W. Kenny's open system model. The study had been conducted in St. Paul school, Rajkot. A total of 50 3rd and 4th standard students were selected as sample by using non-probability purposive sampling technique which means, selection of the most readily available students as participants in a study. Data were collected by using demographic variables and structured set of questioner. Collected data was analyzed by the descriptive and inferential methods. Here the Mean, Mean difference, Standard deviation (SD), Calculated and tabulated ‘t’ test value of pre-test and post-test knowledge scores of school going children regarding oral hygiene practices. The mean pre-test knowledge score was 11.07 and the mean post-test knowledge score was 17.37. The mean difference is 9.57. The Standard deviation of pre-test is 2.27 and that of post-test is 2.36. calculated ‘t’ test value (42.04) is greater than tabulated ‘t’ value (2.66) value at 0.001 level of highly significance which was statistically proved, as stated in hypothesis at the level of p<0.001.

Book Review: Coming Full Circle: Constructing Native Christian Theology

Coming Full Circle: Constructing Native Christian Theology. Edited by Steven Charleston and Elaine A. Robinson. Minneapolis, Minn.: Fortress Press, 2015. xvii + 218 pp. $39.00 (paper).Coming Full Circle was conceptualized by Elaine Robinson, Academic Dean at Saint Paul School of Theology in Oklahoma City, and Steven Charleston, who at the time was a visiting professor there. The seminary locates itself within the Wesleyan tradition and the holiness movement based on the Deuteronomic command echoed in the Gospels of Mark and Luke to love God with all ones heart, mind, soul, and strength and to love ones neighbor as oneself.Coming Full Circle was published by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) through Fortress Press, Augsburg Fortress's imprint for academic titles. The eight essays in this anthology include contributions from authors with a range of perspectives, including the Indian Missionary Conference of the United Methodist Church, Native American Episcopal priests (including one bishop), and the Director of Native American Studies at the University of Georgia. These essays are bookended with contributions by Charleston: Articulating Native American Theory and a concluding chapter on Theological Anthropology in which he interviews Ada Deer, an American politician, on her childhood, Native identity, and her fight for Menominee restoration following the Congressional decision to terminate the Menominee people of Wisconsin.In his piece in Coming Full Circle, Martin Brokenleg reflects that his Lakota Christian identity was shaped more by family and First Nations than by the institutional church (p. 137). Carol Gallagher, another contributor to the volume, observes that despite the misunderstanding and hegemony of many well-meaning missionaries, the gospel became a part of our story, woven into the ancient fabric of our lives and traditions (p. 83). These perspectives, controversial in postcolonial contexts, nevertheless appear to reflect not-insignificant sectors of living reality. The titular concept for the volume, coming circle, is drawn from Charleston's first chapter, in which he discusses coming full circle as he is discovering new dimensions of Christian thought through his research on Native theory. David Wilson's chapter describes the history and experience in the Oklahoma Indian Missionary Conference (OIMC), a Methodist organization in which 95 percent of clergy and lay leadership is indigenous. In his essay in the volume, Thom White Wolf Fassett notes that the church's desire for reconciliation and restoration has put it in a place of self-examination and reflection and thus in a place, if it is willing to turn and return to God and Native peoples, to receive a new heart and a new spirit. …

Adolescent Snacking Behaviors Are Associated with Dietary Intake and Weight Status

Background: Most adolescents consume ≥1 snack/d; exploring the relevance of snacking patterns for overall diet and weight status is important to guide dietary counseling and public health strategies for obesity prevention.Objective: This study examined intake of common energy-dense snack foods, total number of snacks consumed, frequency of consuming snacks prepared away from home, and frequency of snacking while watching television in adolescents and how these behaviors may be linked to diet and weight status. Relations were examined with attention to potential confounders that may help explain the mixed findings of previous research.Methods: Survey measures of snacking behavior, a food-frequency questionnaire, and anthropometric measurements were completed by 2793 adolescents (53.2% girls, mean age = 14.4 y) in Minneapolis–St. Paul school classrooms in 2009–2010. Linear regression was used to examine associations with adjustment for sociodemographic characteristics and other potential confounding factors, such as meal skipping, underreporting energy intake, dieting to lose weight, and physical activity.Results: Adolescents reported consuming a mean of 2.2 energy-dense snack food servings/d and 4.3 snacks/d and purchasing snacks prepared away from home on 3.2 occasions/wk. More than two-thirds of adolescents reported that they sometimes, usually, or always consumed a snack while watching television. The measures of snacking were directly associated (P < 0.01) with higher energy, lower fruit/vegetable, higher sugar-sweetened beverage, and more frequent fast-food intakes in all models except for one: energy-dense snack food servings were not related to sugar-sweetened beverage intake. A direct relation between daily servings of energy-dense snack foods and body mass index (BMI) z score was found; however, the snacking behaviors were inversely related to BMI z score (P < 0.01).Conclusions: The observed cross-sectional associations suggest that snack consumption is a risk factor for poor diet, but unless energy-dense foods are consumed, snacking does not consistently contribute to overweight in US adolescents.

A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme on Knowledge regarding Home Remedies on reducing Dysmenorrhea among Adolescent girls at St. Paul's girls High school, Davangere

Background : Many women find that some basic home remedies can help to relieve the dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea had an adverse effect on school performance reflected in low concentration during classes, difficulties in accomplishing home work and school absenteeism. It also limited participation in sports and social activities. Objectives : To evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on home remedies among adolescent girls. Methods : An evaluative approach with pre experimental one group pretest posttest design was adopted in order to evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding home remedies on reducing dysmenorrhea among 60 samples selected by stratified random sampling technique. Demographic proforma and structured closed ended knowledge questionnaire regarding home remedies on reducing Dysmenorrhea were used to gather pre and post data. A teaching programmeregarding home remedies on reducing Dysmenorrhea was provided for the subjects after the pretest. The post test was conducted on the seventh day and the data collected from the subjects were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. Results : The data indicated the mean percentage of posttest (75%) knowledge score was higher than the mean percentage of pretest (57.14%) knowledge score. The data presented showsthat't' value computed between mean pretest and posttest scores is statistically significant [t (59) =16.15, table value t (59) = 1.64 , P< 0.05]. Thisrevealed that there was a significant difference between the mean pretest and Posttest knowledge scores regarding home remedies on dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls. Conclusion : The study concluded that the adolescent girls had less knowledge regarding home remedied on dysmenorrhea and the overall findings of the study indicated that there was an increase in the knowledge of subjects following the administration of structured teaching programme. This showed that structured teaching programme was effective in improving the knowledge of adolescent girls.

Structuration Analysis of the Transition of St. Paul University Tuguegarao, Philippines from College to University

The school established by the Congregation of the Sisters St. Paul of Chartres (SPC) in Tuguegarao had grown from its school opening in 1907 up to its expansion to college in 1949. It gave the town a Catholic education imbued with Paulinian charism. Their missions and objectives responded effectively to the needs of the time. The purpose of this study is to write the history of the transition of St. Paul school in Tuguegarao from college to university. It will attempt to recount the significant transformation of this academic institution by utilizing the Structuration Theory of Anthony Giddens as its theoretical framework. It also employed the method of oral history through interviews supplemented and corroborated by the data retrieved in the archives. The time-space element in this study is the transition of St. Paul University Tuguegarao from 1949 to 1982. From the onset, St. Paul College Tuguegarao (SPCT) had established constant communication among the administrators, faculty, staff, and students for stability, alignment to vision-mission and relevance to society. Since its attainment of college status in 1949, more courses were offered, and facilities were added. Such endeavors necessitated numerous meetings, deliberations, and assessments that led the school to a transition from college to university in 1982.

Longitudinal associations between parenting style and adolescent disordered eating behaviors.

The main purpose of this study was to identify the longitudinal association between specific parenting styles (authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and neglectful) and adolescent disordered eating behaviors. The current study uses longitudinal data from a 5-year study to examine the associations between parenting style and disordered eating behaviors among adolescents. Data from adolescents (n = 2516) participating in Project EAT (Eating Among Teens), a population-based study from 31 Minnesota schools, were used in the analysis. Time 1 data were collected using in-class assessments of adolescents from Minneapolis/St. Paul schools, and Time 2 data were collected using mailed surveys 5 years later. General Linear Models were used to predict adolescent-reported disordered eating behaviors at Time 2 from adolescent-reported parenting style at Time 1. Adolescent boys and girls who had authoritarian mothers at Time 1 had a higher probability of extreme weight control behaviors 5 years later compared to adolescents with authoritative, permissive, or neglectful mothers. Adolescent girls with authoritarian mothers at Time 1 had a higher probability of engaging in binge-eating behaviors at Time 2 compared to adolescent girls with authoritative or permissive mothers. There were no significant associations between paternal parenting style and adolescent disordered eating behaviors. Although authoritarian parenting style served as a possible risk factor for disordered eating behaviors in adolescents, the findings were not conclusive. Future studies should investigate further the association between parenting style and weight control behaviors in adolescents.

Autumn Marie Klein, MD, PhD (1971–2013)

Dr. Autumn Marie Klein died on April 20, 2013. She was 41 years old. Born to William and Lois Klein, she grew up outside of Baltimore, Maryland. She attended St. Paul's School for Girls before entering Amherst College, where she focused on the unusual combination, at least at the time, of Women's Studies and Neuroscience. She excelled in both. She obtained MD and PhD (Neuroscience) degrees from Boston University School of Medicine, then completed her neurology residency at the Brigham and Women's Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital combined Harvard program. At this early stage, she developed an interest and expertise in caring for women with neurologic problems. As chief resident, she started one of the first clinics for pregnant women with neurologic disorders, under the mentorship of Drs. Martin Samuels and Steven Feske at Brigham and Women's Hospital. While other residents were hesitant or fearful of caring for pregnant women with acute neurologic problems, Autumn embraced it, and encouraged such referrals to her care.

Associations between sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and fast-food restaurant frequency among adolescents and their friends.

To assess associations between adolescents and their friends with regard to sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB)/diet soda intake and fast-food (FF) restaurant visits. Population-based, cross-sectional survey study with direct measures from friends. Twenty Minneapolis/St Paul schools during 2009-2010. Adolescents (n = 2,043; mean age, 14.2 ± 1.9 years; 46.2% female; 80% non-white). Adolescent SSB/diet soda intake and FF visits. Generalized estimating equation logistic models were used to examine associations between adolescents' SSB/diet soda intake and FF visits and similar behaviors in nominated friends (friend groups and best friends). School-level (middle vs high school) interactions were assessed. Significant associations were found between adolescents and friends behaviors for each of the beverages assessed (P < .05), but they varied by friendship type and school level. Five of 6 models of FF visits (including all FF visits) were significantly associated (P < .05) among adolescents and their friends. Significant interactions by school level were present among adolescents' and friends' FF visits, with associations generally for high school participants compared with middle school participants (P < .05). Findings suggest that for many beverages and FF restaurant types, friends' behaviors are associated, especially FF visits for older adolescents. Nutrition education efforts may benefit by integrating knowledge of the impact of adolescents' friends on FF visits.
