Impact of Online Education on Satisfaction and Academic Performance during COVID-19 among Students: A Review Study

With the unexpected shift far from the classroom in many parts of the globe, a few are questioning whether or not the adoption of online studying will retain to persist publish pandemic, and the way this type of shift might affect the global education market. There are many studies said no satisfaction and overall performance of faculty kids on online education, some different studies imply partial or complete satisfaction and performance of students on online schooling, and few studies talk about the factors that decide the satisfaction and educational performance of school kids. There are 20 studies the researcher chose to discuss about it. Out of that 20, the 10 studies result shows that there were satisfaction and academic performance among the students by online education. Another six studies talk opposite to those 10 studies, but four studies said that some factors such as environment and method of teaching are deciding the satisfaction and academic performance among the students who attending the online education.

Antiplasmodial Activities of Some Locally Prepared Herbs Against Plasmodium falciparum Obtained from Asymptomatic School Children in Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria

The efficacy of current or any intended antimalarial can only be resolute by cultivation and susceptibility studies. The aim of this research was to cultivate Plasmodium falciparum in vitro and comparing the antiplasmodial effects of standard antimalarial medications including herbaceous preparation. Asymptomatic pupils attending some schools in Zaria, Kaduna state, Nigeria were recruited into this research and blood samples were collected from them. Microscopy was done after thin and thick blood films were prepared and stained. The antiplasmodial activities of antimalarial drugs as well as herbal preparation were determined after the successful culturing of red blood cells in the Jatropha curcas medium.The phytochemical constituents of the herbs that made up the concoction were determined. The incidence of asymptomatic Plasmodium infection amongst school kids was 17.5%. There was no statistical association of location, gender and age with the obtained prevalence. Presence of alkaloids was observed in every plant screened while the same was also observed for tannins except in Enantia chloranta.Steroids and phlobatanins were observed in Citrus aurantifolia while there was presence of saponins in all the plant extracts except Cymbopogbon citratus. All the plants except Enantia chloranta contained flavonoids. There was presence of terpenoids in all screened plants except Azadirachta indica and Cymbopogbon citratus while cardiac glycosides were found in every plant except Magnifera indica and Enantia chloranta. Results obtained from the in vitro cultivation of the Plasmodium falciparum with Athemether/lumefanthrine, amodiaquine and herbal concoction showed average percentage parasite inhibition of 80%, 37.8% and 38.6% respectively. This implies that Arthemether/lumefanthrine was capable of inhibiting the growth of the parasite best. The herbal concoction also inhibited growth (38.6% inhibition). There is need for additional investigation on a wider variety of plants to explore their antiplasmodial activities since there is evidence that it works, and it is quite available and affordable.

Keeping kids in school through prearrest diversion: School disciplinary outcomes of the Philadelphia Police School Diversion Program.

Developed to keep youth in school and out of court, the Philadelphia Police School Diversion Program allows youth to avoid arrest for specified school-based summary and misdemeanor offenses. This study examined whether diverted youth were also less likely to experience exclusionary discipline, both in response to the referring incident and in the following calendar year. We predicted that diverted youth-compared to youth arrested in schools the year before program implementation-would have been less likely to receive a suspension for their school-based incident, receive a suspension in the year following the incident, and be referred for permanent school removal in the year following the incident. Using a quasi-experimental design, we examined data from 1,281 diverted youth and 531 comparable youth arrested in Philadelphia schools in the year before program implementation. These 1,812 students (67% male, 75% Black) ranged from 10 to 22 years of age. After using propensity score matching techniques, we conducted mixed-effects logistic regression analyses to compare the matched groups on 3 outcomes: incident-related suspension, postincident suspension, and postincident referral for permanent school removal. No statistically significant group differences in likelihood of incident-related suspension emerged; however, age and gender moderated the relationship between diverted/arrested status and incident-related suspension. Diverted youth were less likely than matched arrested youth to experience both postincident suspension and postincident permanent school removal referral. The Philadelphia Police School Diversion Program shows promise in reducing the likelihood that youth will experience future exclusionary discipline following a school-based incident.

The Hardiness Profile of Islamic Boarding School Student in Indonesian

The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the hardiness profile of students in Islamic boarding schools and determine whether or not hardiness has a practical impact on students through Islamic boarding schools, with the top indicators being challenge, control, and commitment. Every shift brings with it a new set of challenges, which can be challenging to adjust to. This research employs quantitative methods to demonstrate this. For the 2020/2021 academic year, student boarding school students in Jakarta served as the study's subject population. As a result, 76 participants were chosen at random using a purposive selection method. It is possible to get data using the santri hardiness instrument as the method of gathering information. The hypothetical mean approach is utilized in this study to determine the optimal score, the minimal score, the standard deviation, and the theoretical mean. The score range is obtained in order to determine the category, which will be as follows: X 129.3 indicates a high category, 103.7 129.3 indicates a medium category, and X 103.7 indicates a low category. It is possible to conclude from these estimates that the hardiness profile of boarding school kids falls into the middle category. The result is that most students have attitudes and skills that are not yet optimal for coping with life difficulties in Islamic boarding schools.

Joselito B. Buluran, MD

The first time I saw Doctor Joselito Buluran or JB as he was fondly called, was when we were oriented before we began our Pre-Residency.
 
 He was shy and most of the time quiet when in the presence of people he was not familiar with. He always had a ready smile and laughed just as easily. Sometimes you felt he was the kid in school who was bullied and made fun of. He was easy to get along with and probably had no enemies. He was very unassuming.
 
 Unknown to most of us he was in fact Chinese by blood who grew up locally; he was the youngest in the family (born when his mother was in her 60’s). It was sometimes funny that given that fact and the way he looked, one may think he could be retarded. Now that was funny because he was in fact quite intelligent. Now imagine that and combine that with his study habits you had a powerhouse of a resident who would be prepared for the weekly grand rounds or the subspecialty hour. The night before the grand rounds you would see him pouring over Cummings and you would still see him reading when you woke up the next day. He was always studying. It was therefore no surprise that he readily passed the USMLE when he took it in our 2nd year of residency
 
 JB was not athletic. But that did not stop him from participating in the PSO-HNS sportsfests. And even if he did not know how to play and looked like a duck out of water, he gamely joined the tennis tournament between residents thought up by another co-resident. He was easy to get along with and seemed like he never got angry. In fact, of all the residents, he may have been the subject and target of more jokes and practical jokes than anyone else.
 
 He made sure he did what was assigned to him. As an intern’s monitor, a position he reveled in, he was constantly teaching the interns. One day I saw him in the ENT chair at the OPD and asked him what he was doing. He answered that he was testing the interns if they know how to actually remove cerumen and he was in the chair because he was the patient.
 
 It was also when he was intern’s monitor that he met the love of his life. Suddenly, his world changed. From a happy-go-lucky guy with a ready smile he suddenly became serious. So serious in fact that he approached me one night and confronted me if I was showing interest in the same person he was interested in. I’m kind of smiling because I still remember that night. That was totally not in character for JB. I assured him that he had nothing to fear because I had no interest, and the girl was his. He courted her and in the end they got married.
 
 We parted ways when we graduated, and we barely saw each other even during conventions. He moved back to Norzagaray where he established his practice. I always thought he would be using his MLE but he never did. Once when we were somewhere in Bulacan near Norzagaray, my wife needed a phone and I thought since we were in Buluran territory why not try to find him. He was easy to find because the people we asked pointed us to where he lived
 
 And so it is with sadness that I heard of his passing. Maybe it’s ironic that he had a very fine heart but in the end it was his heart that did him in
 
 If you took your Temporal Bone Course at the EAMC, then JB has touched your lives. He was the one who made those dissection bowls you used

Sleep disturbances in children newly enrolled in elementary school are associated with parenting stress in China

ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the prevalence of children's sleep disturbances among students newly enrolled in elementary school, and explored the association between the two during the child's transition from kindergarten to elementary school. MethodsIn 2019, a cross-sectional study was conducted among 1,510 newly enrolled school kids and their parents in Beijing. Children's sleep characteristics were evaluated using the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), and parenting stress characteristics were assessed with the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF). Logistic regression models were used to analyze the association between children's sleep and parenting stress. ResultsA total of 77.9% of children newly enrolled in elementary school had sleep disturbances and 15.6% of parents had experienced parenting stress. When examining the relationship between children's sleep disturbances and parenting stress, monthly family income over US$1,550 was a protective factor and children with sleep disturbances were associated with higher risk of parenting stress. Two subscales from the CSHQ were associated with higher parenting stress risk: sleep duration and daytime sleepiness. Similarly, parents experiencing parenting stress had children with higher risk of sleep disturbances. This risk was also higher for children from parents screening positive in the PSI-SF subscales for parental distress and difficult child. ConclusionsWe found that children's sleep disturbances and parenting stress were common and there was a bidirectional association between the two during this transition time. Schools and communities need to provide timely psychological support for children and parents to address major stressors.

Ian Curtis

Tim Richardson’s work considers some of the influences and material interventions – books, records, rooms, paint - that supported Ian Curtis’s breakthrough contributions to post-punk music as well as the cassette tapes that allowed high school kids in West Texas to find and love him afterward. Tim suggests that these material affordances are personal encounters that continue to register emotionally.

DEVELOPING STUDENTS’ DESCRIPTIVE WRITING ABILITY BY USING ANIMATION MOVIE

This study's objective is to study how using animated movie might help students improve their writing skills. One class served as the research sample for the pre-experimental methodology used in this study. In the first year of the MA Muhajirin, As'adiyah Kampiri, served as the research sample. Twenty students made up the study's sample. In order to select the sample for the study, the researcher employed the cluster random sampling technique and chose X A. Their understanding of the subject matter for text writing was made simple and enjoyable by the audio and visual mix. It was also acceptable for junior high school kids to get excited and interested in writing in order to hone their descriptive text-writing abilities. Writing tests were used to gather data on the students' descriptive writing abilities, which were then evaluated using SPSS 20. There were noticeable improvements, as seen by the pre-test and post-test results. The pupils' experimental post-test score of (82.11) was greater than their pre-test score, which served as evidence (52.63). The results also revealed that the probability value (0.00) was less than the level of significance (0.05). Based on the findings, the researcher concluded that using animation movies could help students in their first year of MA strengthen their descriptive writing skills. As'adiyah Kampiri Muhajirin.

Individual Level Effects of Entrepreneurship Training: A Natural Field Experiment

It is scientific consensus that entrepreneurship training of school kids and university students is effectively resulting in entrepreneurial activity. However, we have a limited theo-retical understanding of entrepreneurship training of employees. As most employees are not inherently entrepreneurial, we lack an understanding of entrepreneurship training as a poten-tial explanatory link between the organizational and individual level to explain the emer-gence of entrepreneurial employees. Within this study, we conceptualize a theoretical model based on the established constructs as well as a self-developed scale. Our model reflects both the organizational embeddedness and entrepreneurial behavior of employees inside the or-ganization. We conducted a natural field experiment within a large German multinational technology company over a time period of half a year. As we measured the effects of entre-preneurship training as change within entrepreneurial behavior of employees over time, we tested our model using a difference-in-differences estimator. Our results support the hypothe-sized positive treatment effect of entrepreneurship training on entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Moreover, we find a significant impact of time availability and management support on the development of entrepreneurial behavior of employees. Our results suggest entrepreneurship training to be an explanatory link between an organization and the emergence of entrepre-neurial employees.

FAKTOR - FAKTOR YANG MEMPENGARUHI DERAJAT MIOPIA ANAK USIA SEKOLAH PADA PASIEN OPTIK RIZ-Q

This study was aimed at deciding risk factors of myopia suffered by school children and at finding out important prevention in order to eliminate the risk. The research was conducted in Riz-Q optical, located at Kembangan, West Jakarta. Employing qualitative method, the research collected data from children of Riz-Q optical customers suffering from myopia. The samples were school kids (15-19 years old) who were students of grade X-XII Senior High School. Findings of this study comfirm: (1) parents genetic significantly effects children prevalence to myopia; (2) behavior in using gadget, i.e., distance to eye, duration of use, body position when using gadget and low intensity of room as well as the lack of A and B vitamins usually derivating from food and sun light, significantly boost prevalence to myopia.

The Impact of Face Masks on the Emotional Reading Abilities of Children-A Lesson From a Joint School-University Project.

Wearing face masks has become a usual practice in acute infection events inducing the problem of misinterpreting the emotions of others. Empirical evidence about face masks mainly relies on adult data, neglecting, for example, school kids who firmly are dependent on effective nonverbal communication. Here we offer insights from a joint school–university project. Data indicate that emotional reading of 9 to 10 years old pupils (N = 57) was similarly impaired as adults on an overall performance level, but that their selective performance on specific emotions was quite different. Kids showed extreme problems in reading the emotion disgust, strong effects on fear and sadness, and only mild effects on happiness, but also even better performances for emotional states anger and neutral when faces were masked. This project did gain not only relevant data about children’s perception but also made clear how fruitful seriously conducted school projects can be to encourage the interest and commitment for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)-relevant topics.

SARS-CoV-2 infection and transmission in primary schools in England in June–December, 2020 (sKIDs): an active, prospective surveillance study

Little is known about the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and transmission in educational settings. Public Health England initiated a study, COVID-19 Surveillance in School KIDs (sKIDs), in primary schools when they partially reopened from June 1, 2020, after the first national lockdown in England to estimate the incidence of symptomatic and asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection, seroprevalence, and seroconversion in staff and students. sKIDs, an active, prospective, surveillance study, included two groups: the weekly swabbing group and the blood sampling group. The swabbing group underwent weekly nasal swabs for at least 4 weeks after partial school reopening during the summer half-term (June to mid-July, 2020). The blood sampling group additionally underwent blood sampling for serum SARS-CoV-2 antibodies to measure previous infection at the beginning (June 1-19, 2020) and end (July 3-23, 2020) of the summer half-term, and, after full reopening in September, 2020, and at the end of the autumn term (Nov 23-Dec 18, 2020). We tested for predictors of SARS-CoV-2 antibody positivity using logistic regression. We calculated antibody seroconversion rates for participants who were seronegative in the first round and were tested in at least two rounds. During the summer half-term, 11 966 participants (6727 students, 4628 staff, and 611 with unknown staff or student status) in 131 schools had 40 501 swabs taken. Weekly SARS-CoV-2 infection rates were 4·1 (one of 24 463; 95% CI 0·1-21·8) per 100 000 students and 12·5 (two of 16 038; 1·5-45·0) per 100 000 staff. At recruitment, in 45 schools, 91 (11·2%; 95% CI 7·9-15·1) of 816 students and 209 (15·1%; 11·9-18·9) of 1381 staff members were positive for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, similar to local community seroprevalence. Seropositivity was not associated with school attendance during lockdown (p=0·13 for students and p=0·20 for staff) or staff contact with students (p=0·37). At the end of the summer half-term, 603 (73·9%) of 816 students and 1015 (73·5%) of 1381 staff members were still participating in the surveillance, and five (four students, one staff member) seroconverted. By December, 2020, 55 (5·1%; 95% CI 3·8-6·5) of 1085 participants who were seronegative at recruitment (in June, 2020) had seroconverted, including 19 (5·6%; 3·4-8·6) of 340 students and 36 (4·8%; 3·4-6·6) of 745 staff members (p=0·60). In England, SARS-CoV-2 infection rates were low in primary schools following their partial and full reopening in June and September, 2020. UK Department of Health and Social Care.

Prospective Active National Surveillance of Preschools and Primary Schools for SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Transmission in England, June 2020: (sKIDs: COVID-19 Surveillance in School KIDs)

Background: Many countries re-opened schools after national lockdown but little is known about the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and transmission in educational settings. Public Health England conducted six-month prospective surveillance in primary schools across England. Methods: The COVID-19 Surveillance in School KIDs (sKIDs) study included two arms: weekly nasal swabs for ≥4 weeks following partial reopening during the summer half-term (June to mid-July 2020) and blood sampling with nasal and throat swabs at the beginning and end of the summer half-term, and, following full reopening in September 2020, at the end of the autumn term (end-November 2020). Results: In round 1, 12,026 participants (59.1% students, 40.9% staff) in 131 schools had 43,091 swabs taken. Weekly SARS-CoV-2 infection rates were 3.9 (1/25,537; 95% CI, 0.10-21.8) and 11.3 (2/17,554; 95% CI, 1.4-41.2) per 100,000 students and staff. At recruitment, N-antibody positivity in 45 schools was 11.1% (91/817; 95%CI, 9.2-13.5%) in students and 15.1% (209/1381; 95%CI, 13.3-17.1%) in staff, similar to local community seroprevalence. Seropositivity was not associated with school attendance during lockdown or staff contact with students. Round 2 participation was 73.7% (1,619/2,198) and only five (4 students, 1 staff) seroconverted. In round 3, when 61.9% (1,361/2,198) of round 1 participants were re-tested, seroconversion rates were 3.4% (19/562; 95%CI, 2.0-5.2) in students and 3.9% (36/930; 95%CI, 2.7-5.3) in staff. Conclusions: SARS-CoV-2 infection rates, assessed using nasal swabs for acute infection and serum antibodies for prior infection, were low following partial and full reopening of primary schools in England.Funding Statement: This surveillance was funded by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC).Declaration of Interests: None to declare.Ethics Approval Statement: The surveillance protocol was approved by the Public Health England Research Ethics Governance Group (R&D REGG Ref: NR0209, 16 May 2020).

The Changed Parenting Experiences of Mothers of Elementary School Students in the Face of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Purpose: The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore the changed parenting experiences of mothers of elementary school kids living in the aftermath of the COVID-19 outbreak in Korea. Methods: From July to August in 2020, 10 mothers parenting elementary school students under the COVID-19 were interviewed in depth. For data analysis, a phenomenological research methodology suggested by Colaizzi was used. Results: According to the analysis, the experiences of mothers consisted of four categories: the ‘pain from the uncontrollable COVID-19‘, ‘the problem of family relations due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation’, ‘standing firm against the drastic changes', and ‘accepting the world changed by the COVID-19'. Conclusion: The findings in this study vividly represent the parenting experiences of mothers of elementary school students after the outbreak of COVID-19. As the pandemic persists, mothers parenting elementary school students feel complex emotions and experience exhaustion, but in the process, they found family members growing positively and trying to adjust to each other to overcome the crisis. To support positive adaptation to catastrophic situations, an institutional and political foundation is needed to develop a systematic crisis management program customized for mothers and families of elementary school students. The results of this study can be used as basic data when establishing national policies and support systems so that mothers parenting elementary school students can better adapt to and overcome crisis situations. © 2021 Korean Academy of Community Health Nursing.
