Kontribusi Intrapersonal Skills dan Interpersonal Skills Terhadap Kesiapan Kerja Pada Mahasiswa Perguruan Tinggi “X”

The low quality of human resources in Indonesia is evidenced by the high level of unemployment in Indonesia. Data from the Central Statistics Agency show that open unemployment in Indonesia at the last high school level was 1.93 million, at the vocational level at 1.73 million, at the Diploma level at 220,932 and at the Bachelor level at 729,601 (BPS, 2018) . This phenomenon illustrates that labor readiness is still low in Indonesia. Higher education plays an important role to improve this. Producing graduates who are superior, skilled and have full competence in themselves is the main goal of every college. Empirically proving the relationship between intrapersonal skills and interpersonal skills to work readiness in "X" college students is the aim of this study. The method used in this research is survey. The population in this study were all "X" college students. The sample used in this study was "X" college final semester students. Purposive sampling with accidental sampling is a sampling technique used in this study. Multiple linear regression in the SPSS program is used as a data processing tool. Obtained 185 respondents in this research. Simultaneous test results show that intrapersonal skills and interpersonal skills affect work readiness for "X" college students. Partially intrapersonal skills and interpersonal skills, both of them affect the work readiness of "X" college students. The implication of this research is the importance of education related to soft skills because this greatly contributes to students preparing themselves when joining the workforce.Keywords: intrapersonal skills, interpersonal skills, work readiness.

Melatih Keterampilan Berpikir Kreatif melalui Pembelajaran Berbasis Proyek dalam Mempersiapkan Tenaga Kerja untuk Menghadapi Kompetisi Global

Often we find the fact that skills gaps begin with the basic idea that many jobs exist, but skilled workers do not. The relationship exists between labor readiness, business and industrial development, and educational institutions have been around for a long time. However, this relationship cannot refute the fact that prospective employees are not ready to enter the workplace in the future. The Law of the Republic of Indonesia concerning the national education system addresses the importance of training in creative thinking skills by stating that the education system must develop the potential of students to be religious, respectful, well-educated, and competent in thinking creatively, independently, democratically, and responsibly. While empirical studies show that Indonesian students have unsatisfactory creative thinking skills. This study aims to describe how to train Creative Thinking Skills through project-based learning in preparing the Workforce to face global competition. From the results of the discussion it was concluded: 1) The government needs to be more serious in entering tertiary education and setting targets for maximum workforce readiness. 2) Educational institutions in their learning activities need to improve their mastery of high-level thinking skills in determining their educational success by improving high-level cognitive functions (metacognition, metamemory and metacomprehension, or assessing the truth of one's own memories; solving problems, or taking appropriate steps when dealing with unknown things, and think critically, or evaluate the quality of ideas). 3) For most educators today who are well connected and driven by technology, the mastery of technology literacy in education is still lacking, therefore mastery of technology literacy needs to be improved at the level of the teachers in this country. 4) Potential to integrate Project Based Learning (PBL) in the classroom to improve students' soft skills which in turn will ensure greater results for them in the future. To achieve that, their soft skills need to be improved by using the PBL approach. This approach is relevant to the concept of 21st century learning, especially in education.

The Relationship Between Plasma Inflammatory Cytokines and Labor Pain.

Proinflammatory cytokines are increased in maternal blood at term pregnancy and are associated with cervical ripening and the initiation of labor. We hypothesize that maternal plasma cytokines also affect the sensitivity to labor pain. By using a previously validated model describing labor pain, we used a deidentified database derived from healthy nulliparous parturients who delivered singleton pregnancies at term. Numerical rating scores for pain were recorded after the onset of regular contractions using an 11-point scale. Maternal blood was drawn for the measurement of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10; interferon-γ; and tumor necrosis factor-α on admission or at the onset of painful contractions, whichever occurred later. Individual demographic, physiognomic, and cytokine variables that significantly affected labor pain at P < 0.05 were reported and included stepwise into a multivariable model. One hundred sixty parturients provided 411 numerical analog scores for pain that were evaluated with our model. The relationship between numerical analog scores and cervical dilation was significantly affected by the type of membrane rupture, membrane status, induction, oxytocin administration, maternal race, and plasma IL-1β concentration as individual variables. Only the association between the highest IL-1β quartile and slower acceleration of pain during labor remained significant in the multivariate model (P = 0.0003). Women with IL-1β concentration in the highest quartile arrived at the labor room with a more dilated cervix than those with lower plasma concentrations of IL-1β (5.1 ± 3.0 vs 4.1 ± 2.6 cm; P < 0.02) and had faster labor progress. Inflammatory cytokines including IL-1β play a role in cervical ripening. High maternal plasma concentrations of IL-1β may serve as a marker of advanced cervical ripening and readiness for labor that proceeds with less pain.

Premature rupture of membranes: problems of diagnosis and induction of labor

We conducted a clinical trial of the test AmniSure® ROM in women with premature rupture of membranes (PROM). The results of labor induction in cases of PROM were also studied. AmniSure® ROM test showed high sensitivity and specificity and recommendation of the use of this test in women with PROM was approved. Our study demonstrated the worsening of obstetric indicators in patients with PROM after labor induction in the absence of biological readiness for labor.

Premature rupture of membranes in term pregnancy: prognosis, pathogenesis, management of pregnancy and labor

In current article the management of pregnancy and labor with premature rupture of membranes in term pregnancies and pathogenesis of premature rupture of membranes is discussed. The stimulation of labor in 2-3 hours after premature rupture of membranes without biological readiness for labor is not reasonable. In such cases active-observation tactic with antigestagens treatment and adequate antibacterial therapy helps to decrease the number of pathological labor, cesarean section and obstetrical trauma.

Saying “No” to Induction

Induction rates have increased dramatically. A childbirth educator wonders how she can help pregnant women say “no” to induction. This column describes the last days and weeks of pregnancy as vitally important for both the mother and her baby, insuring the baby's maturity and the mother's readiness for labor. Women are encouraged to appreciate the last days and weeks of pregnancy and to have confidence that when a woman's body and her baby are ready, labor will begin spontaneously. This information, as well as knowledge of how induction alters the process of normal labor and birth and increases the possibility of having a near-term infant, is the foundation for informed refusal.

The Role of Joint School-Labor Activity in the Formation of Schoolchildren's Psychological Readiness for Labor

Preparing the rising generation for labor is one or the most important links in the process of perfecting school education. In this connection, it is especially important to study the psychological aspects of readiness for labor. Particular questions of schoolchildren's psychological readiness for labor have been studied in works by F. I. Ivashchenko, E. A. Klimov, and T. V. Kudriavtsev [2, 3, 4], and others, but not enough has been done to study the conditions and forms of organizing labor instruction—its influence on the activation of students in labor and on the formation of their psychological readiness for labor.

Intranasal oxytocin in obstetrics.

Brief exposures to synthetic oxytocin, applied intranasally as a spray, were used in 74 cases of induced labor, 138 cases for enhancement of labor, 39 cases for testing sensitivity to oxytocin, and 15 cases for enhancement of prelabor. The purpose was to obtain a mild stimulation of uterine activity, usually for 15 to 20 minutes. The method of application is remarkably simple, and the authors recommend it as having a wide degree of safety in determining the degree of labor readiness of a patient at term, in inducing labor (in combination with amniotomy), and especially in combating mild degrees of secondary inertia which appear during labor.
