Supervisi Penerapan Metode Ummi dalam Meningkatkan Kemampuan Membaca dan Menghafal Al-Qurân

Implementing a learning method requires guidance and supervision. In many cases, teachers are often required to implement a new method without any guidance and supervision. There is one application of learning methods that provides guidance and supervision, namely the application of the Ummi learning method in improving the ability to read and memorize the Al-Qur'an. This is worth studying. For this reason, this research is aimed at revealing how to implement supervision activities by focusing on three things, namely: steps, techniques and factors inhibiting and supporting these supervision activities. The research was carried out in two locations: SMPN 1 Sampang and SDN 1 Dalpenang Sampang. This research uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques: non-participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of related sources. The research results obtained are first, the stages of implementing supervision in both institutions include daily, weekly and monthly supervision. Second, the technique for implementing Ummi method supervision in both institutions is in the form of individual and group techniques. Individual supervision techniques include class visits, individual meetings and document observation, while group techniques include school visits, evaluation meetings and teaching demonstrations. Third, the supporting factors for implementing the Ummi method of supervision in both institutions are support from school principals and parents who encourage supervisors to continue to supervise, supervisors' activeness and teacher welfare as well as adequate facilities. The inhibiting factors are the lack of supervision time and the lack of supervisors which is not commensurate with the number of existing groups. The results of the research have implications for supervisors being able to emphasize the objectives of supervision, so that supervision activities are not understood as a form of supervision but as mentoring and guidance activities.

RECURRENCE OF OVARIAN CANCER:
 POSSIBLE CAUSES, EARLY DETECTION

Relevance: Early detection of ovarian cancer relapses and their treatment is among the most difficult in practical oncogynecology.
 Early diagnosis of ovarian cancer recurrence increases the effectiveness of treatment and gives a more favorable survival prognosis.
 The study aimed to show the possible cause of ovarian cancer recurrence and methods for early detection of relapses.
 Materials and methods: We systematically analyzed 31 cases of recurrent ovarian cancer treated at the Zhambyl Regional Center
 of Oncology and Surgery (Kazakhstan) in 2021-2022. We divided them by age, stage, period of relapse, type of histology, tumor grade,
 sites of recurrence, and symptoms of recurrence.
 Results: Ovarian cancer is most often detected in the late stages since, in the early stages, the disease is asymptomatic. Patients with
 advanced stages showed more relapses and distant metastases. Most ovarian cancer and this disease’s relapses are detected at 50-70
 years old. The late stages give more distant and multiple relapses than the early stages and in terms of earlier. Moreover, according to
 histology results, mesenchymal tumors are more significant than epithelial and G3.
 Conclusion: The recurrence of ovarian cancer is an aggressively occurring disease. Based on the analysis work carried out, more
 than 70% of patients with recurrent ovarian cancer were aged 50-70 years, and the recurrence rate was higher at later stages (St III)
 or with a low-grade form of the tumor. All patients received platinum-based combination therapy. Targeted therapy (Bevacizumab) was
 administered in generalization of the process. More than 20% of all patients are resistant to platinum, whose relapse occurred before six
 months; the rest are sensitive to platinum with a later relapse. Based on everything, there is an increase in distant and multiple relapses
 in the late stages of ovarian cancer. This indicates the need to introduce screening programs based on cancer markers (CA-125) and
 diagnostic instrumental examinations (MRI/CT) to detect ovarian cancer in the early stages. After the treatment, all patients with this
 disease should be under active supervision, especially patients with low-grade tumors and in late stages.

The Impact of Cryptocurrencies on the United States and China’s Economies

This paper will make an intensive study of the impact of cryptocurrencies on the United States and China’s economies. In terms of popularity, policy, and investor attitudes, the US and China’s current situation is compared. The emergence of cryptocurrency has changed the role of traditional Central Bank monetary policy, making it faces new challenges in controlling economic fluctuations and stabilizing financial markets. In addition, the volatility and uncertainty of cryptocurrencies also affect investors' attitudes and behaviors. In the United States, investment risks in cryptocurrencies are widely discussed, while in China, investors are cautious about cryptocurrencies due to the government’s relatively conservative attitude towards cryptocurrencies. In summary, cryptocurrencies have different impacts on the economies of China and the United States. Due to government restrictions and regulations, China's development of cryptocurrencies in the country has been hindered to some extent, while the United States has become one of the leaders in the global cryptocurrency market. However, the potential impact and risks of cryptocurrencies cannot be ignored, and active guidance and supervision from governments and regulatory agencies are needed to ensure their positive role in the economy. On this basis, investors need to invest rationally based on their own risk tolerance and market trends to achieve long-term economic benefits.

Urgensi Pelaksanaan Supervisi Akademik dalam Peningkatan Kompetensi Guru di Era Merdeka Belajar

Indonesia is ranked 74 out of 79 countries in terms of reading, science, and math skills. One of the factors for the low quality of education in Indonesia is the lack of teacher competence in preparing learning media and methods. In this 21st era, Indonesia has implemented an independent learning policy that frees teachers and students from choosing learning methods. One of the efforts that can be made to improve teacher competence is the implementation of academic supervision. The purpose of this study was to determine the importance of implementing academic supervision and the role of school principals in implementing academic supervision. The research was conducted using a meta-analysis that collected data and information from several studies. The findings of this study found that academic supervision activities are an effective tool for solving teacher problems and as a means of improving teacher competence. The role of the principal is very crucial as a supervisor in implementing academic supervision. The implementation of academic supervision goes through the stages of planning, implementation, and evaluation or follow-up.

Exploring contracts and contracting within supervisor training

This article explores how to foster contracting as a process in supervision. It evaluates the teaching of contracting within a four-day supervision course at the University of Birmingham delivered over the last six years to 63 qualified Educational Psychologists. Two methods were used: a survey generating 20 responses and a focus group comprised of five participants, who elaborated on the results of the survey. The survey indicated a growth in confidence and knowledge about contracting. Helpful activities highlighted included modelling the use of a contract within the training, sharing examples of contracts and transcultural supervision activities. However, there was hesitation about the use of formal contracts to support the working relationship between supervisor and supervisee, indicating a need to support understanding of contracting as a process which enables and supports the supervisory alliance. As a result, the discussion introduces a model bringing three elements of contracting together, namely the formal contract, transcultural supervision activities and mini-contracting within sessions, as a process, with the outcome of promoting a strong supervisory alliance. The limitations to the research include the course being evaluated by those facilitating it and the limited number of respondents. The conclusions highlight the importance of being clearer about the elements of the contracting process and the need for an explicit link from the process of contracting to the quality of the supervisory relationship.

Counselor Performance Test Instrument: Validity, Reliability, and Implications for Group Guidance Services

The development of counselor performance assessment instruments, especially for group guidance services, is still being developed independently by each higher education institution. It tends to be non-standard and not entirely in line with the need to create counselor competency in implementing school group guidance services. This research aims to create a performance test instrument for group guidance services for school counselors that is valid and reliable by adapting the development model from Borg & Gall at three stages of development. By involving 5 subjects as testers for the acceptability of performance instruments, namely 2 lecturers and 3 school counselors. Thirty-nine construct validity and reliability testing subjects consist of 2 lecturers, 12 school counselors, and 20 practical students. This development resulted in a set of counselor performance assessment instruments in group guidance services consisting of 13 statement instrument items on the planning aspect and 27 on the practice aspect, tested as valid and reliable based on SPSS 26 analysis. Furthermore, experts and users have also validated the assessment instrument by meeting acceptability criteria (applicable, feasible, and appropriate). Thus, it can be concluded that the counselor performance test instrument product in group guidance has met the development objectives and can be used for assessment in the planning and practice of group guidance services in schools or clinical counseling supervision activities.

Exploration of supervisees’ experiences of a transcultural supervision activity

AimsRegulatory competences for educational psychologists (EPs) state specifications of understanding and acknowledging diversity and transcultural working within practice. This article explores the experiences of four trainee educational psychologists (TEPs) after participating in a Transcultural Supervision activity with their placement supervisors, which aims to promote culturally responsive working.MethodSupervisees’ views were gained through an online questionnaire and analysed using Thematic Analysis. The article explores the supervisee’s experience of the transcultural supervision activity and the impact of it on their cultural awareness and power dynamics within a supervisory relationship.FindingsFour superordinate themes were interpreted in the study, including: engagement, thoughts and feelings, developing cultural awareness and reducing power differential. The paper explores these themes in further detail alongside the subordinate themes constructed, before highlighting implications for educational psychology and supervisory practice.LimitationsLimitations of the research discussed including the sampling method, method of data collection used and the assumption made by the researcher that each participant has a similar understanding of the definitions of culture and power dynamics, limiting exploration of potentially contrasting discourses in practice.ConclusionsOverall, the transcultural supervision activity was reported to be beneficial in improving cultural awareness by supervisees and was also perceived as being influential in supporting power dynamics within new supervisory relationships. This complements previous research exploring the views of supervisors and their experience of the transcultural activity and has potential for further use in EP professional training and practice.

Evaluasi Pelaksanaan Supervisi Akademik di MTs Plus Sabilunnajah Bojonegoro

The teacher's role is very important in implementing the curriculum as well as in learning activities. Therefore, the activities carried out by the teacher need to be supervised or assisted so that the vision and mission of learning activities can be carried out properly. With the completion of academic supervision, it is hoped that there will be real support for teachers in developing their abilities to achieve curriculum goals. This study aims to evaluate supervision activities which consist of three stages, starting from planning academic supervision, implementing academic supervision, and following up on academic supervision. The case study in this research is at MTs Plus Sabilunnajah which is in Kanor District, Bojonegoro Regency, East Java. This research is a qualitative descriptive study with data collection techniques in the form of interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of the research at the planning stage have been carried out properly, the school principal carries out supervision planning by requesting the results of regular meetings. In the next stage, namely the implementation stage, the principal assesses every aspect of supervision starting from the suitability of the lesson plans with learning activities, learning processes, teacher performance, and classroom management by the teacher. From the results of the supervision implementation, it is known that there are some discrepancies between the RPP and the implementation of learning in the classroom. Another obstacle in the implementation of supervision is the schedule of supervision activities which are often delayed if the principal has an urgent need

An innovative unsupervised gait recognition based tracking system for safeguarding large-scale nature reserves in complex terrain

Abnormal human activities play a significant role in triggering emergencies within vast nature reserves. The vast area, complex terrain, and insufficient electricity and high-bandwidth network infrastructure present significant challenges in effectively supervising nature reserves. Fortunately, intricate terrains often boast restricted access points, typically confined to just a few narrow pathways and the gait recognition technique utilizes only a small amount of binary-processed low-quality gait data and seamlessly integrates with low-resolution and low-power-consumption cameras making it particularly suitable for human activities supervision in nature reserves. However, extensive existing supervised along with a limited number of unsupervised methods are unable to be implemented in real-world application due to the reliance on the pre-labeled training set and the insufficient retrieval accuracies. Here, we present an electronic tracking system for safeguarding large-scale nature reserves in complex terrain based on the unsupervised gait recognition technique for the first time. 1) The proposed method doesn't require any known matching relationships in the training set. 2) It consistently achieves 100% top-1 retrieval accuracies, with a distinct gap between the distances of top-1 and top-2 retrievals. This distinction allows us to detect abnormal behaviors, such as individuals who enter without exiting, exit without entering, or venture into restricted areas. It effectively mitigates the impact of human activities on the protected area at low cost offering an application case of gait recognition technology (GRT) in the field of nature conservation.

Avaliação da importância do planejamento e programação na manutenção: Um estudo de caso em uma indústria siderúrgica capixaba

The analysis of the practical performance of maintenance planning and programming tools in the area of psychological assets of a steel industry in Espírito Santo was possible through a case study. Stages of execution and supervision of activities were approached to present the interferences and gains that the area of PPC (Planning, Programming and Control) of activities provides for the entire evaluation process. The work was supported by a bibliographical research that supported all the stages discussed in this monograph. This case study has professional and academic justification, as it aligns with the market's perspective,which requires companies to be competitive, competitive and profitable. The theory was validated in industrial practice, as gains were proven (effectiveness, optimization of time and resources, customer satisfaction, among others) that were possible through the integration of a PPC cell with other stages of the process ( Origin of demand, definition of costs, execution and control of activities). The results obtained are consistent with the theoretical framework and demonstrate that it is possible to make improvements for the PPC sector (reduction of corrective maintenance, increased productivity, improvements in process flow, reduction of rework, avoided costs) in processes with an engaged PPC.

Maximising the Educational and Research Value of the Undergraduate Dissertation in Psychology

The undergraduate research dissertation in psychology is the capstone demonstration of research skills including project planning and design, considering and resolving ethical issues, and the analysis and dissemination of findings. The dissertation represents an opportunity for learning as well as an opportunity to contribute to the research literature in the student’s chosen area; however, few articles have considered both dimensions in detail. This article provides a roadmap for undergraduate thesis supervision, for early-career supervisors and supervisors aiming to better align their supervision and research activities and/or engage their students in open research practices via the dissertation. Specifically, we review prior literature on undergraduate psychology research supervision and identify several dimensions that vary in existing approaches. Drawing on our own supervision experiences, we describe four key recommendations for undergraduate supervision in psychology and discuss how these can support student learning as well as benefit research.
