Pola Asuh Orang Tua, Aktifitas Fisik Remaja dengan Status Nutrisi

Nutrients are chemical substances in food that are used by the body for growth and development. Parenting is one of the factors that are closely related to growth and development, one of which is food as a source of nutrition. The proportion of the population based on the age group of 13-18 years regarding energy adequacy in 2014 that experienced energy adequacy was very less, there was 52.5%, 32.5% less normal 12.2% more than 5.0%. Adolescence becomes more concentrated on the physical self which must be supported by good nutrition, so that adolescents can carry out strong and healthy activities to support their daily learning processes, where the need for parents to fulfill balanced nutrition for adolescents. This study aims to analyze the relationship between parenting and physical activity with the nutritional status of adolescents. The population in this study were teenagers, with the number of research samples using the sampling technique obtained by 69 respondents. The analysis used is univariate analysis using frequency distribution and bivariate analysis using chi square. The results of the study obtained p value 0.00 <0.05, there was a relationship between parenting and nutritional status, and p value 0.00 <0.05, namely there was a relationship between physical activity and adolescent nutritional status. Suggestions for nurses need to monitor nutritional status in schools, as well as programs to make reports on nutritional status by making daily menus, and increasing physical activity with movement exercises/gymnastics. For the next researcher, it is important to examine what factors are related to adolescent physical activity and adolescent nutritional status.

Match Rates Among Underrepresented Minority and Female Applicants to Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Programs from 2011 to 2021: How Are We Doing?

Orthopaedic surgery residency programs have traditionally had less representation of underrepresented minority (URM) and female trainees compared with other medical specialties. Widespread efforts have been implemented to increase the diversity of orthopaedic surgery residency programs; however, it is not known whether URM and female applicants are increasingly likely to match as a result. Thus, we aimed to study the independent association between URM and female applicants and matching into orthopaedic surgery over the past decade. Applicant-level data from the Electronic Residency Application Service were reviewed from 2011 to 2021 with variables including demographic variables, URM status, and matriculation to an orthopaedic surgery residency program. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify the likelihood of matriculating into orthopaedic surgery when controlling for number of applications, top 40 medical school status, AOA status, and MD/other degree. Twelve thousand one hundred eleven applicants were identified from 2011 to 2021 with a match rate of 70% overall. Two thousand fifty-six applicants (17%) were female and 1,926 (16%) classified as URM. The total number of applications increased from 1,074 in 2011 to 1,229 in 2021. The adjusted odds ratio (OR) associated with matching among all applicants decreased from 0.75 in 2011 to 0.64 in 2021, p < 0.001, and the OR of non-URM male and female applicants also decreased (female: 0.79-0.69, p < 0.001; male: 0.78-0.65, p < 0.001). The OR of URM male applicants did not change significantly (0.57-0.55, p = 0.60). The OR for URM female applicants, however, increased significantly from 0.46 to 0.61, p < 0.001. Over the entire time frame, the odds of matching were significantly lower for URM applicants compared with non-URM applicants (both male and female). Overall, the adjusted odds ratio of matching into orthopaedic surgery among female URM applicants has increased over the past decade, indicating successful efforts to improve the diversity of orthopaedic surgery training programs. The odds of URM male applicants have remained relatively constant, and the odds of URM male and female applicants were significantly lower than all non-URM applicants. III.

RESEARCH ON SCHOOL ATTENDANCE AND DROPOUT: SYNTHESIS OF THE SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE

Dropping out of school remains a complex and multidimensional phenomenon because of the multitude of factors involved in its study. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the various factors that may be involved in the study of school dropout (focus on African context). The definitions of this concept vary from one country to another in view of these realities. In addition, the factors listed have been divided into three main dimensions, starting with individual factors, i.e., those specific to the child, and family factors, which correspond to the child's family environment and the role of parents in the child's schooling. And finally, factors specific to the school environment (teacher-principal relations, principal's leadership, infrastructure, etc.). The indicators of dropout can be grouped into six points: lack of investment in learning, negative representation of the school, academic arrhythmia, learning difficulties, and poor academic performance, and refusal of school status outside of school.

Geçici Koruma Altındaki Suriyelilerin Türkiye'ye Uyumlarına İlişkin Eğitim Politika ve Uygulamaları

Immigrants who came to Türkiye in masses after the internal conflicts in Syria in 2011 were put under temporary protection, a status in international law, and started to live with the Turkish people. This temporary status has transformed into de facto permanent co-living after the past ten years. This situation necessitated the implementation of policies that require social cohesion between Syrians and Turks. Education is the most important tool in ensuring social cohesion. In this study, it is aimed to reveal the policies implemented for the inclusion of Syrians under temporary protection in to the Turkish education system and what the results of these policies are. In the study, the statistical data of state institutions, legal regulations, academic research and news in the media were handled and the document analysis method was used. In this context, all dimensions of the subject from primary education to higher education were categorized and the findings were shared with the reader in a systematic way. The findings show that the Syrians, who were thought to be temporary at first, were planned to continue their education in the camps without obtaining a diploma or document, but with the prolongation of the war, necessary legal arrangements were made for their inclusion in the Turkish National Education System and Higher Education. In the field studies made, it was observed that Despite the arrangements technical and social problems continued in practice and the desired level of participation in post-primary education could not be achieved. In addition, it has been revealed that the results of education policies for Syrians under temporary protection are related to the cultural structure of the cities where Syrians live in Türkiye, their geographical proximity to Syria, the population of Arab origin in the city, the status of schools, and the qualifications and experiences of teachers. In this context, it has been evaluated that effective language learning in all age groups, ensuring school attendance and increasing the number of academicians and students in the academy should be priority policy issues to ensure social cohesion.

Public Basic Schools in Southern Sudan and the Sultanate of Oman (Comparative Study)

Purpose: This study aims to compare the status of public basic schools in South Sudan and that of the Sultanate of Oman (one of the Gulf countries).&#x0D; Methodology: A search of the relevant literature was incorporated into the work technique. The research was carried out with consideration given to previous theoretical literature, both that which had been published and that which had not. This study focuses on conducting a literature review examining prior research on why South Sudan is left behind. At the same time, other backward countries succeed in narrowing the gap between them and the second-world countries.&#x0D; Findings: The findings revealed three categories of primary schools in South Sudan. Category 1 is primary schools for children whose fathers have looted, corrupted, or stolen public treasure through illegal activities and smuggled government money to Uganda, Kenya, Australia, Europe, the U.S.A or Canada after Comprehensive Peace Agreement (C.P.A) in 2005. These children received a good education in the diaspora. They do not come home until they finish their studies and receive good jobs as stakeholders in government ministries or organizations, and they are primarily paid in hard currency. This category is excluded from our study. Category 2 is primary schools for children who left the country with their parents before or after independence and live in refugee camps in Uganda, Kenya or Egypt. They also receive a good education and enjoy free food in their centres. This category is also excluded from our research. Category 3 is primary schools for children whose parents are displaced inside the country or citizens with nowhere to go. Their children receive poor education in government primary schools and free food from organizations or World Food Program (W.F.P). However, these organizations turned South Sudan to be free nutritional zone. This primary school category is included in our study and is our concern. But in the Sultanate of Oman, the government has an evident vision and willingness to reform and develop the educational sector in the country, and a good potion is given to the development of education in the annual national budget.&#x0D; Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy, and Practice: By conducting the comparative study, it seeks to improve educational circumstances and address flaws in the system. The research will provide insights to the government, donors, and international organizations, prompting support and funding to develop an organized and planned educational system in South Sudan. Ultimately, this study aims to bridge the academic gap and pave the way for positive changes in the country's schooling system.

Teachers’ acceptance of an open-source, collaborative, free m-learning app: The predictive role of teachers’ self-approach goals

Based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the aims of the present cross-sectional study were i) to investigate acceptance by teachers of an open-source, collaborative, free m-learning app, named Artefac, ii) to examine whether teachers’ self-approach goals (i.e., the motivation to teach more effectively than before) may be a relevant external variable to include in the TAM, and iii) to investigate potential differences of acceptance between school subjects (humanities and social science teachers vs. science teachers), status (in-service teachers vs. pre-service teachers), and contexts (teachers in schools classified as difficult vs. teachers in schools not so classified). A total of 419 French teachers (277 women, 142 men) took part in the present correlational survey. After reading a text with pictures presenting an open-source, collaborative, free m-learning app, named Artefac, the participants filled out a self-reported questionnaire about its acceptance before use, assessing perceived usefulness for teaching, perceived ease of use, perceived enjoyment, and intention to use. Teachers’ self-approach goals were also assessed. One-sample t-tests and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data. The results showed that Artefac was rather well accepted by teachers (with middle to strong effect sizes), whatever their school subject, their status, and their teaching context. The results also highlighted that teachers’ self-approach goals positively predicted perceived enjoyment and perceived ease of use but did not predict perceived usefulness for teaching, indicating that the more teachers wanted to increase their teaching skills, the more they found Artefac easy to use and fun to use.

Scrutinizing EFL Teachers’ TPACK Mastery Level in Teaching English Based on Gender and Schools Status Disparities

The existing technologies have profoundly influenced technology integration in teaching activities. However, integrating technology into English Language teaching is not entirely smooth since the teachers are not skilled in combining technology with content and pedagogy knowledge simultaneously in the learning process. Therefore, this study attempted to investigate the level of technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) mastery from junior high school EFL teachers in Pangkajene and Kepulauan Regency based on teachers' gender and school status. The quantitative study with a survey method addressed the research's aim. The research conducted in Pangkajene and Kepulauan Regency involved 104 junior high school EFL teachers as research respondents. The data of this study were collected from in-service EFL teachers in public and private junior high schools by distributing the questionnaire offline and online. Version 26 of SPSS was employed to analyze the data. The analysis of the data encompassed inferential and descriptive statistics. The present study results elucidated that EFL teachers' TPACK mastery is in the very good category, with details of TK, TCK, PCK, and TPK in the very good category; CK and TPACK in the good category. Next, EFL teachers' TPACK mastery based on gender showed no significant difference in TPACK mastery between male and female teachers. Then, EFL teachers’ TPACK mastery based on school status showed no significant difference in TPACK mastery between teachers in public schools and private schools. These results imply that EFL teachers' TPACK knowledge and mastery are related to the proper implementation of ICT in classroom instruction.

Culturally Adapted Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training for Latinx Caregivers

Latinx caregivers of school-aged children are faced with unique stressors. These stressors include racism, immigration status, and limited resources in schools. Despite an abundance of evidence-based programs for parents and caregivers, many were not developed by or with members of the intended demographic or with specific attention to racial and linguistic identities and social context. This study was a pilot-trial aimed to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of Escuela de Madres y Padres (EMP; “School for Mothers and Fathers”), a program based on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills adapted in a community context by Latinx community leaders who are recognized for their expertise in culturally responsive practices to support Latinx caregivers. EMP integrates DBT skills with a strength-based approach and decolonizing lens to highlight and promote the resiliencies and capacities of Latinx parents of school-aged students. Participation in EMP was associated with high satisfaction among participants, significantly decreased perceived stress among caregivers, significantly increased mindfulness in parenting, significantly increased emotion regulation among caregivers, and significantly decreased child behavioral difficulties. This study indicates that EMP holds promise as a culturally relevant program that could improve the well-being of Latinx caregivers.

Analysis of Current Neurological Surgery Residents and Prior Medical Education: Do Medical School Attributes Matter?

With the recent changes to the U.S. Medical Licensing Examination grading system, an understanding of the factors that influence the neurological surgery residency match process is crucial for residency directors. The aim of the present retrospective study was to explore the associations of medical school location, ranking, private school status, size, and presence of an American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) chapter or neurological surgery interest group (NSIG) with the neurosurgery match outcomes. An enrollment list of all accredited U.S. neurosurgery residency programs was compiled on June 28, 2021. For the included residents, the residency program, degree, and previously attended medical school were retrieved. The geographic location, ranking, private school status, and size were collected for the residency programs and medical schools attended by the residents at each program. A total of 1437 residents from 101 neurosurgery residency programs (89%) were included. Graduates from the top 25 medical schools were more likely to match into their home residency programs (P < 0.001) and highly ranked residency programs (P < 0.001). Students from larger medical schools were also more likely to match into larger (P < 0.001) and highly ranked (P < 0.001) programs than were applicants from smaller schools. Students from medical schools with an AANS chapter or NSIG were also more likely to match into top ranked programs (P < 0.001 for both). Medical students from the top 25 medical schools, private medical schools, medical schools with an AANS chapter, and medical schools with an NSIG were more likely to match into a prestigious residency program. These findings suggest that underlying biases might be present for program directors to consider in the resident selection process.
