Resilience Profile of Children with Special Needs and the Importance of Guidance and Counseling Services

Children with special needs are children who need special services to develop their potential in education, social services, guidance and counseling services, and various types of other special services. In reality, not many people understand or know children with special needs, so there is still much discrimination that occurs. This discrimination is not only from the community around them but also from their own families. This discrimination leads to a stressful situation, resulting in possible difficulties in participating in educational programs or other skills. Therefore, an important aspect that they need to adapt to difficult situations or stressful conditions is resilience. This research aims to describe and understand resilience in children with special needs. The method used in writing this article is the literature study method, where data is obtained by a series of activities related to library data collection methods, reading and recording, and processing research materials. The source of resilience formation itself comes from within and outside the individual internal factors that can affect children with special needs in bringing up resilience, which are emotion regulation, impulse control, optimism, causal analysis, empathy, self-efficacy, and reaching out. The implementation of counseling guidance services itself is almost the same as normal children in general according to their needs, which are described as follows: planning, implementation, and evaluation of guidance and counseling. Therefore, the important role of guidance and counseling services for children with special needs is needed.

Konflik Agraria Di Pedesaan, Tantangan Dan Harapan

In Indonesia, land or agrarian issues usually confront local communities with the power of capital or corporations and state instruments. If we look back, land problems usually start from monopoly policies on land ownership by the state and are then commercialized by the state to gain profits, which is still very difficult to resolve. Providing proof of ownership of land, or a land title certificate, is a way to organize assets in this case. On the other hand, managing access means providing support or infrastructure, such as infrastructure, market support, capital, technology and other assistance, so that the subject of Agrarian Reform can develop. The method used in this research is a descriptive method with a literature approach. Literature study is defined as a series of activities related to collecting information relevant to the topic or problem that will be or is being researched from library sources, reading, taking notes and processing research materials. Thus, this article aims to provide a deeper understanding of agrarian conflict in rural areas, challenges and hopes (Bingkawan-Rambung Baru Village Study, Sibolangit subdistrict, Deli Serdang district).

Abstract A162: A comprehensive platform for unraveling the molecular mechanisms and vulnerabilities of colorectal cancer: A step forward in target discovery

Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogeneous malignancy that originates from the colonic and rectal epithelium. It ranks among the most prevalent and deadly cancers globally, representing about 10% of cancer incidence and 9% of cancer mortality in 2018. The oncogenesis and evolution of CRC are driven by the accumulation of genetic and epigenetic alterations that dysregulate key signaling pathways, such as Wnt, RAS, TGF-β, and DNA mismatch repair. However, the molecular mechanisms and vulnerabilities of CRC remain poorly understood, and many patients exhibit poor response or resistance to the current therapies. Therefore, there is an urgent need for novel and effective therapies that can target the specific features and dependencies of different CRC subtypes. To better understand the molecular mechanisms and vulnerabilities of CRC, we established a comprehensive platform based on the CRC model cells derived from human intestinal stem cells (hISCs), patient-derived xenografts (PDXs), and clinical samples, on which we conducted integrative genomic and functional analyses. We employed CRISPR/Cas9 to introduce common CRC mutations, such as APC truncation, KRAS G12D, TP53 and SMAD4 knockouts into hISCs and generated isogenic CRC model cells with different mutational backgrounds. We also developed PDXs from CRC patients and collected biopsy samples from primary and metastatic tumors. We characterized the transcriptomic and genomic profiles of all the samples using RNA-seq and whole-exome sequencing (WES). Then, we conducted high-throughput drug screening (drug HTS) with a collection of standard-of-care drugs and CRISPR/Cas9 dropout screening with a genome-wide library on the CRC model cells. RNA-seq and WES analyses identified distinct molecular signatures and pathways associated with different mutational variants. We validated the presence of driver mutations in the patient-derived cultures, such as APC, KRAS, and TP53, and compared them with the model cells. Our primary cancer cell culture platform was proven suitable for high-throughput identification of new molecular targets through CRISPR/Cas9 dropout screening with a genome-wide library performed on CRC model cells. Additionally, our in-house drug HTS, utilizing a collection of standard-of-care drugs, met industrial standards of QC values such as signal-to-noise ratio, Z-factor, and robustness.. The QC values, such as read depth, library complexity, and alignment rate met the established criteria and we were able to identify essential and tumor suppressor gene sets. Moreover, by utilizing normal hIPCs, we were able to identify among the essential genes those that are critical only for the transformed cells. This innovative platform provides a powerful tool for target discovery and validation in CRC, with potential applicability to other cancer types and personalized medicine approaches. Our findings underscore the importance of using primary material-derived cells in the process of understanding the molecular intricacies of CRC and pave the way for the development of novel, effective therapies.

The 'master's dissertation fair': reflections on impact and future development

Every year in early spring, postgraduate taught (PGT) students start preparing for their dissertation project. At the University of Reading, this time coincides with the end of teaching, including the Library seminars supporting skills development. Acknowledging that our sessions were ill-timed to support effectively our PGT students at a challenging stage in their degree trajectory, the Study Advice and Academic Liaison teams at the University of Reading Library trialled in June 2020 a week of webinars tailored to PGT level and focusing on elements of the dissertation. The Master’s Dissertation Fair was born! The popularity and positive reception of the initiative took us by surprise and motivated us to continue running the Master’s Dissertation Fair as an annual tradition ever since.
 In this session, we shared our reflections on the successes and lessons learnt from the first three iterations of this programme, focusing on its Study Advice component. We reviewed the student feedback collected post session and explored what the impact was on our one-to-one service in supporting PGT students with dissertation projects over the summer. We also discussed how this initiative impacted our team, as it provided a (rare for us) opportunity to plan and develop collaboratively a coherent and complementary set of sessions. Finally, we explored how this reflection on impact can inform our planning for a more holistic approach to PGT support. For example, are there opportunities to use new formats beyond the webinar? What else could we do to improve our reach and inclusivity?

Design Of Web-Based Library Information System With Framework For The Application System Thinking (FAST) Method

To develop interest in reading in school students, schools and libraries must work together to attract students ' interest in reading. One of them is by providing a library at the school. Currently, many school libraries for management are still manual, such as from recording member data, data bookkeeping to storing other data related to transaction processing to report generation, so it is possible that when the process takes place there are errors in recording, lack of accurate reports made and delays in finding the required data. In addition, the library has operating hours so that few students come. Designing a web-based library information system with a fast method is the best solution to solve the problems that exist in this library. Fast methods make system design easier and more targeted. And the existence of a site-based Library Information System increases students ' reading interest because they can access it anywhere and anytime without being limited in time, and also makes it easier for officers to Manage Library data.
