THE TEACHING OF APOSTLE PAUL ABOUT THE NEW MAN BASED ON COLOSSIANS 3:5 IN CHRISTIAN RELIGIOUS EDUCATION (PAK) TEACHERS AT SOLO RAYA

To be able to equip students to gain knowledge, teachers must continuously improve their relationship and communication skills with students. Especially as a Christian religion teacher, he does not only focus on fulfilling children's cognitive values ​​in meeting the minimum completeness criteria but rather on instilling Christian values ​​and Christ's character. Researchers see that there are separate challenges faced by a Christian Religious Education teacher in high school and vocational high school where in fact the students who are taught reach puberty or are in search of identity so that they tend to commit acts of vandalism or behavior that tends to be irresponsible, sometimes filled with emotional attitudes. For this reason, according to the researcher, teachers who are capable of teaching not only cognitively but also related to inculcating spiritual attitudes and social attitudes are needed.

Spatial Distribution, Risk, and Influencing Factors of River Water-Sediment Heavy Metals in the Lower Reaches of the Qianhe River

The spatial distribution of heavy metals in rivers is affected by human activities and the natural environment, posing a risk to human health related to heavy metal pollution. In order to study the characteristics, health risk levels, and influencing factors of heavy metal distribution and pollution in the lower reaches of the Qianhe River, 19 surface sediments and 20 water samples were collected, and the contents of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(ICP-MS). Using the DEM, air temperature, precipitation and other 11 factors as independent variables, the spatial differentiation of heavy metal pollution in sediments were explored based on geo-detector and geo-weighted regression model. The results showed that the eight heavy metal contents in the lower reaches of the Qianhe River did not exceed the "Surface Water Environmental Quality Standards" Ⅱ for water-like bodies, in which the variation coefficient of Pb element was 3.11, and the high content areas were mainly concentrated around Dongling Smelting Company and Fengxiang Railway Station. The average Rc value of adult carcinogens in water bodies was 7.72 E-06, showing a low risk level, and the children's carcinogens average Rc value was 1.17 E-04, showing a strong risk degree. The non-carcinogen risks for adults and children were both tolerable. The total high R value for children was mainly concentrated around Fengxiang Railway Station, posing a high risk. Sedimentation of heavy metals, except As and Mn, exceeded the soil background value in Shaanxi Province. The average content of Cd element was 1.12 mg·kg-1, which was 12 times the soil background value in Shaanxi Province. The pollution of Cd, Zn, and Pb was high, and distributed mainly in Changqing Village, Nanwan Village and Niujiatan Village, Gaozhuang, and Dongling Smelting Company. PLIzone of heavy metals in the sediments in the study area was 1.71, which was light pollution. DEM, temperature and precipitation were the main natural factors influencing the spatial pattern of heavy metal pollution load index(PLI) in sediments, and their nonlinear interactions were enhanced, which may play a role in the spread of heavy metals in sediments. This research can provide a scientific basis for urban planning and human health risks prevention in the Qianhe River.

Children can understand and understand the content of the Qur'an, and children have a religious character from an early age.

Raising Awareness of Stereotyping Through Collaborative Digital Storytelling: Design for Change with and for Children

The purpose of our research is to use design as a mean to support children becoming more aware of stereotypes in their own artefacts. We have been facing this challenge leveraging on Digital StoryTelling (DST) as a powerful instrument to detect children's beliefs and values including those connecting to gender. In addition, considering the role of social interactions in creating and reproducing gender stereotypes in children we have been focusing on the collaborative creation of digital stories to investigate stereotypes as a cultural product. The goal of the paper is to give an account of our process of digging into this topic and our design pathway in developing and assess a DST prototype directed to raise children's awareness. Our work main contribution is to spread insight on our approach and support the HCI community to replicate it to challenge the negative effect of stereotypes, and to provide new knowledge on how gender stereotype awareness could be raised among children through the collaborative creation of DST. As a final research contribution we provide a set of design recommendations to address the design of a collaborative DST tool for raising stereotype awareness.

Learning by Using Traditional Children's Games "Sesiku" in Developing Early Childhood Character Values

The research objective was to examine learning plans, learning activities, and the impact of learning by using traditional games sesiku in building character values in Kindergartens in Bengkulu City. The children's character values that emerge from the traditional games sesiku are the character values of honesty, discipline, sportsmanship, cooperation, and help. The method used in this study was experimental. The instrument for the observation of character values was tested on 30 children aged 5-6 years. The validity used the character value of the observation guideline sheet with product-moment correlation and the reliability of the character value of the observation guideline sheet with Cronbach's Alfa. The T-test is used to see a significant difference between the two average parameters in the same sample group between the initial and final test scores. The research findings indicated that the format of the daily learning implementation plan had followed the appropriate format. The learning process integrates Bengkulu's traditional children's games into early activities outside the classroom. Bengkulu's traditional children's games are internalized into the lesson plan and teacher's lesson plan to contribute to developing character values in early childhood. In the teaching and learning process and after the end of the teaching and learning process, the character values of children can be observed from the behavior that appears, such as the character values of honesty, discipline, sportsmanship, cooperation, and help.

Methodological Tendencies of Graduate Theses in the Context of Children's Literature and Values Education

Apart from the factors such as a good education-training program, family and social environment, the literary works that encourage the individuals to think and provide that they sense and self-learn can be considered as an important tool in providing an effective values education and character development. Considering the necessity of providing values education effectively from an early age, the importance of children's books and therefore the importance of children's literature is understood. It is observed that the academic studies have increased especially after 2014 within the context of the children's literature and values education. It has been determined that a significant portion of the theses written in Turkey in the field of values education concentrates on topics connected to Turkish education and teaching. The aim of this research was to determine and evaluate the methodological quality and researcher tendencies of the studies conducted at the graduate level, which had a certain increase in quantity until 2020. In the research, 99 theses approved by YÖK until 2020 in the context of children's literature andvalues education were examined in terms of the tag, research model and value or value category variables, on which they were based, of the relevant theses. In the context of children's literature and values education, when the postgraduate theses prepared in the universities which conduct studies at the postgraduate level were examined, it was observed that studies were conducted on certain academic fields and branches of science. When the types of works that were the subject of the sampling were examined, it was observed that especially fictional and plot-oriented genres were examined in the context of values education, and it was observed that all the theses revealed very different value and value categories although they wereexamined within the framework of a certain printed document's value or value category determined in various ways.

Children's values in early childhood: Age differences in structure and priorities

The aim of this study was to find out which differences appear in the structure and priorities of values of late preschool and early elementary school children. A total of 243 late preschool (M = 5.98) and early elementary school (M = 7.87) children from Estonia completed the Picture Based Value Survey for Children (Döring et al., 2010). The four higher-order values identified by Schwartz (1992) were evident in both age group's value structure. Nevertheless, there were some deviations from the theoretical model in preschool children. The results suggest that school children differentiate better between some of the values within the four higher-order values. Children seem to distinguish self-oriented values earlier than other-oriented values. Both preschool and school children prioritized self-transcendence values. Among preschool children, self-enhancement ranked second and was more important than among school children. Openness to change was of higher importance to school children. The study highlights some of the key changes in values during early childhood.

Value of Children's Literature and Students' Opinions Regarding Their Favourite Books

In this study, children’s literature was defined according to a review of the related literature. The value and positive effects of children’s literature on children were discussed and opinions of 2nd grade elementary school students’ regarding their most and least favourite books were investigated. Participants consisted of 15 students enrolled in elementary school near the city centre of Ankara, Turkey. The research data were obtained from semi-structured interviews with participating students as well as students’ book scoring forms used to rate 25 books provided to them. First, students’ scoring forms were reviewed and analysed to determine their choices. Next, interviews were conducted with students regarding the reasons for their book selections. Data obtained from the student interviews were evaluated through content analysis. Finally, according to the students’ responses, the characteristics that made up their most and least favourite books were explained for the educators and parents. Students frequently mentioned internal features, especially the characters and plot of the story, as the primary reasons for determining their most and least favourite storybooks. Also, it was shown in the findings that having characters that were animals, good-hearted, and/or funny as well as having action and adventure within the stories made the storybooks the children’s most favourite. Whereas not having action, being boring, and/or having unsolved problems within the stories as well as being short or having unknown words and expressions made the storybooks the children’s least favourite.

MATIC IMPLICATIONS OF SUNDANESE PUPUH SONG IN BUILDING MORAL VALUES TOWARD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

The title above has explained the purpose of this study, which is observing Matic's implication of children's moral values acquisition from learning activities to sing Pupuh Sunda Song in Elementary Schools – West Java. The methodology used is ethno-pedagogic because the extent of data collection and exploration were conducted toward the concept containing values that existed and lived amid the society within the context of ethnic tradition, that is, as far as signs and meanings are stored and expressed in vocal art expressions in the form of Pupuh Sunda song acted as a medium is message education praxis. Therefore, the phenomenology approach was carried out to observe a series of phenomena that can be analyzed during the concept values repeated into the performer's subconscious, the song, movements, and expressions in shared or personal situations. The stressing keyword point in this study is the repetition that can be assumed as a mechanical act on every subject learn to sing moral message content sung. The mechanical process activities result by repeating song memorization, expressing moral values inside the song. Qualitatively, it can be described as an automatic implication that has the potential and function as a fostering for the concept of value in building the expected character. Such as the direct utterance stored in the song containing the invitation and teaching always to be cheerful, accept everything with generosity, care to all being (compassionate), diligent in studying and fond of working, respecting the parents and teachers, love to the homeland and defending the state and nations, which becomes the focus of study.

Severe acute malnutrition in low- and middle-income countries

<h2>Abstract</h2> Low- and middle-income countries bear the greatest burden of malnutrition, especially those in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. Children are particularly vulnerable. This article provides an overview for healthcare professionals working with children, giving definitions and practical advice for intervention and management. Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is diagnosed in under 5s with severe wasting ("marasmus") and/or nutritional oedema ("kwashiorkor"). Wasting is identified using weight-for-height and comparing the child's value with WHO reference data or by measurement of mid-upper arm circumference. SAM is thought to result from a complex interaction between infections and poor diet or feeding practices occurring in the context of multiple adverse social-economic factors, with poor sanitation and hygiene increasing exposure to infection. The clinical management of SAM depends on whether there are complications such as anorexia and infections. Children with uncomplicated SAM are best managed in community programmes using ready-to-use therapeutic food and with close monitoring. The management of complicated SAM requires in-patient care and presents a huge challenge especially in health facilities with limited resources. Management guided by the WHO "Ten Steps", which account for the reductive adaptation that occurs in malnutrition reduces case-fatality but this often remains high. Prevention of SAM requires addressing the multifactorial underlying causes associated with poverty and food insecurity. Addressing malnutrition in children is essential to achieving many of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

NILAI ANAK DAN PERSEPSI TERHADAP PENDIDIKAN ANAK SERTA HUBUNGANNYA DENGAN TINGKAT PENDIDIKAN ANAK PETANI (Studi Kasus di Kelompok Tani Giri Senang Kabupaten Bandung)

The Giri Senang Farmer Group has members who on average have not completed 12 years of education. The purpose of this study is to determine the value of children for families, family perceptions of children's education, chindren’s education level, and the correlation between children's values and family perceptions of children's education with the level of children's education in the Giri Senang Farmer Group. This research uses a quantitative approach with survey methods and analysis using descriptive analysis. Determination of respondents using random samplin g techniques, amounting to 34 respondents. The results showed that most of the agricultural laborers considered that children had more psychological values than social and economic values. Parents consider their children a blessing and their existence makes the family complete. Farm worker families' perceptions about children's education show that education is very important for children, but the educational level of farmworker family children in the Giri Senang Farmers Group is dominant only up to elementary school with a percentage of 45 , 83% and the lowest is at the college level with a percentage of 1 , 04%. In the correlation between children's values and family perceptions about children's education with the level of education of the family children of farm workers the Giri Senang Farmer Group ha s a very weak and insignificant correlation. Therefore, it is hoped that parents can actively motivate and provide insight into the importance of education for life.

Oesophageal pH-Impedance for the Diagnosis of Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease: Validation of General Population Reference Values in Children with Chronic Neurological Impairments.

Diagnosis of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) in children with chronic neurological impairment (NI) remains a clinical challenge. The study aimed to validate the relevance of the reference values used to assess gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) in children with NI and to determine the optimal cut-off level of the pH-impedance parameter with the best predictive value for outcomes associated with endoscopic assessments of the oesophagus. Sixty-seven children (32 male, 35 female; age: interquartile range, 5 years 6 months–14 years 10 months; median, 11 years 3 months) with NI were prospectively recruited for the study. The exclusion criteria were previous fundoplication and lack of consent for the study. All patients underwent evaluations for GOR disease, including pH-impedance and gastroscopy. Based on endoscopy, oesophagitis was diagnosed in 22/67 children (32.8%); 9/67 (13.4%) were classified as having Hetzel–Dent grade III or IV. GOR was present in 18/67 children (26.9%), as determined by pH-impedance. Patients with endoscopic lesions had a significantly higher number of total reflux (p = 0.0404) and acidic episodes (p = 0.0219). The total number of reflux episodes, with a cut-off level of 44 episodes, was the pH-impedance parameter most strongly predictive of the presence of lesions in gastroscopy (specificity: 50%, sensitivity: 73%). These findings suggest that endoscopic lesions may be present in children with chronic NI with a low number of GOR episodes, as recorded by pH-impedance. The use of standardised reference norms determined for the general population may underestimate GOR episodes in this group of patients.

Normal Left Ventricular Systolic and Diastolic Strain Rate Values in Children Derived from Two-Dimensional Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography

Strain rate (SR) parameters derived from two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography have prognostic value in children with heart disease. Routine use is hindered by a lack of normative data. The aim of this study was to determine reference values and Z scores for left ventricular systolic and diastolic SR in a large cohort of healthy children. Echocardiograms from 577 subjects ≤18years of age (mean age, 9.6±5.6years; range, 1day to 18.0years; 46% female) with structurally and functionally normal hearts were retrospectively included. Left ventricular longitudinal and circumferential systolic and early and late diastolic SR were measured using two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography from the apical four-chamber and short-axis mid-papillary views. Associations with age and body surface area were assessed using Spearman correlation and generalized additive modeling. The relationship between systolic SR and wall stress (afterload) was examined. Analyses were conducted with and without correction for heart rate. Multivariable linear regression modeling was used to identify independent factors associated with the SR parameters. Z score equations were derived from a selected best-fit parametric model. All SR parameters differed significantly by age group. The magnitude of all SR values decreased with increasing age and body surface area. Systolic SR magnitude was inversely related to wall stress in children ≤7years of age but not did not vary significantly in the older age groups. All relationships were maintained after heart rate correction. SR measurements had very good or excellent agreement. Longitudinal and circumferential systolic and diastolic SR parameters are presented from a large cohort of healthy children using two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography from the Philips platform. SR values differ significantly by age and body surface area. These results suggest that the myocardium becomes less sensitive to afterload with maturity. Z score equations based on age are presented, which should promote further clinical and research use.

Children's Values, Social Support, Mother's Roles, and Psychosocial Stimulation in Boys and Girls

Psychosocial development is a developmental stage that every child will pass. This study aimed to analyze the influence of family and child characteristics, child value, social support, mother's involvement in psychosocial stimulation in boys and girls. The research design that was used in this study was a cross-sectional study. Site selection was chosen purposively, namely in the city of Medan. Research locations were in two villages, namely Kota Maksum, Medan Labuhan Subdistrict and Kota Besar Village, Medan Area District. The sample pulling technique uses simple random sampling with a sample of mothers who have children aged 2-3 years and come from a complete family of 150 people. Respondents interviewed with the questionnaire were mothers. Correlation test results showed a significant positive relationship between maternal age, children's values, dimensions of psychological value and dimensions of economic value, social support, dimensions of information support and dimensions of reward support, and mothers' role in care with psychosocial stimulation.

Value of Children among Chinese Mothers: Cohort Effects and Urban-rural Differences

China is facing a dramatic decrease of fertility rate, even after the one-child policy has been changed to two-children policy. Psychologists propose that value of children may account for willingness to deliver babies. Value of children (VOC) includes VOC+ (which means the positive values of children) and VOC- (the cost and expenditure of having children). This study compared value of children among different cohorts of Chinese women and women in urban and rural areas in China. In Study 1, 203 mothers of childbearing age in China were recruited to complete VOC scale. Their responses were then compared with 208 mothers born in 1920~1949 and 206 mothers born in 1950~1979 in the study by Zheng et al., (2005). Cohort effects were found in all VOC dimensions, the current generation pays less attention to children s traditional value of economic support and old-age security, and pays more attention to children s emotional and familial values, as well as the disadvantages and constraints in delivering babies, indicating Chinese women s values of children have changed over time. In Study 2, women in three areas of different economic levels were recruited. Results showed differences in both VOC+ and VOC- dimensions: women in remote rural areas put more emphasis on “traditional VOC”, while participants in urban areas rated higher in VOC-. This may explain why the fertility rate in urban area is even lower than that in rural area in China. Reasons of intergenerational and urban-rural differences are further discussed.</br></br> Key Words: Value of children, cohort effect, urban-rural differences, Chinese mothers

PEREMPUAN-PEREMPUAN TANGGUH PENJAGA NILAI-NILAI KEISLAMAN ANAK: STUDI DAERAH MINORITAS MUSLIM

The first education that every child gets is family education. Mother is the figure in the family who has the most role in providing education. Islamic values must begin to be embedded in a person since he was a child, especially for those who live in Muslim minority areas. This is because these Islamic values can be eroded by environmental influences. This study aims to analyze the role of women in maintaining the Islamic values of children in the Muslim minority area of Labuan Rasoki. This topic is important because women play a big role in maintaining the Islamic values of children in the non-Muslim majority community. This research uses a qualitative approach with the type of case study. Data collection techniques are interviews and observations. The data obtained were analyzed by triangulation technique. The results show ed that there we re 3 roles that a mother takes in maintaining the Islamic values of their children, namely through non-formal education at Madrasah Diniyah Awaliyah (MDA), informal education in the family environment; and formal education in public and private schools. Housewives are among the women who continue to fortify their children's Islamic values through educational assistance, so that Islamic values persist in their children even though they live in Muslim minority areas.

Normative tensions in filial caring for a mother with dementia: A narrative perspective.

This article aims to gain insight in the normative struggles of adult children caring for their ageing mother living with dementia. Two Dutch autobiographical books written by siblings recording their own caregiving experience were analysed using a narrative design. Children appear to understand their normative concerns through six fields of tension. Our analysis shows that filial caregivers describe two distinct approaches to deal with these normative tensions. One approach aims to preserve the child's pre-existing personal beliefs and values, but also causes the child to demonstrate rigid and uncompromising behaviour at odds with the needs of their parent. The other approach is more reflective and flexible, prioritizing the needs of the vulnerable person over previously held values, providing an opportunity for better care. We conclude that caregiving children have to find their way between being faithful to their principles and showing moral flexibility.

"Don't be afraid to speak up": Communication advice from parents and clinicians of children with cancer.

Parents and clinicians of children with cancer can provide advice to improve communication that reflects lessons learned through experience. We aimed to identify categories of communication advice offered to parents of children with cancer from clinicians and other parents. (1) Semi-structured interviews with 80 parents of children with cancer at three sites; (2) single-item, open-ended survey administered following 10 focus groups with 58 pediatric oncology clinicians at two sites. We asked participants for communication advice to parents, and analyzed responses using semantic content analysis. Parents provided five categories of communication advice to other parents. Advocacy involved asking questions, communicating concerns, and speaking up for the child. Support involved pursuing self-care, seeking and accepting help, and identifying supportive communities. Managing information involved taking and organizing notes, remaining open to difficult truths, and avoiding inaccurate information. Partnership involved establishing open lines of communication with clinicians, making the family's values and priorities known, and trusting the clinical team. Engaging and supporting the child involved, understanding and incorporating the child's preferences and values, and creating a loving environment. Clinicians' advice addressed similar categories, although only one clinician described engaging and supporting the child. Furthermore, parental advice expanded beyond interactions with the clinical team, whereas clinician advice focused more on the role of clinicians. Parents and clinicians of children with cancer provided five categories of communication advice. With these data, clinicians, health care organizations, support groups, and patient advocates could offer experience-informed advice to parents who are seeking information and support.

Rural Small-Scale Women Farmers and Preference for Family Size in South-East Nigeria

Among other things, fertility control in Nigeria may not be feasible without recourse to socioeconomic issues such as micro-occupation classification and dominant family cultural traditions facing women and their relationship to fertility behaviour. Rural small-scale women farmers are a relatively closed group with some uniqueness for the understanding of the value of children (VOC) in socioeconomic and cultural contexts and its relationship with fertility behaviour in developing nations. This study, guided by the VOC model, focuses on determining factors for preference for family size (0-4 children) among rural small-scale women farmers in Eha-Amufun in Enugu state. 200 married women (mean age = 33.9; mean age at marriage = 24.5) from 20 agricultural co-operative societies were selected for the study. The study adopted a survey and quantitative research design. Besides the sociodemographic information of the study participants, the study elicited from the respondents information on their choice of family size, the connection of family size with their occupation and the circumstances surrounding son preference and son adoption in the family and rural contexts. The collected data were analysed using the ordinal logistic regression model. The findings show that economic independence, son preference and male child adoption negates limiting family sizes to 0-4 (p&lt;.05) however, age, formal education, children as source of labour and economic independence were positively correlated with the desire for a family size of 4 children and above. In view of the limitations of the study and the ability of the VOC model to unveil spurious factors for fertility behaviour among women, there is a need for comparative studies of rural closed groups in developing nations and their fertility behaviour.Among other things, fertility control in Nigeria may not be feasible without recourse to socioeconomic issues such as micro-occupation classification and dominant family cultural traditions facing women and their relationship to fertility behaviour.

Relation between Timing of High-Dose Vitamin A Supplementation and Modified-Relative-Dose–Response Values in Children 12–23 Months in Uganda

High-dose vitamin A (VA) supplements (VAS) can temporarily affect VA status. Hence, micronutrient surveys might need to be timed around VAS campaigns to accurately estimate VA deficiency (VAD) prevalence. Little is known about optimal timing of micronutrient surveys when the modified-relative-dose-response (MRDR) is used as a VA indicator. We evaluated the association between days since the end of a VAS campaign and MRDR values in children aged 12-23 mo in Uganda. We pooled data from 2 cross-sectional, population-based surveys in eastern Uganda conducted in 2015-2016 (n=118 children). We estimated the prevalence of VAD (MRDR≥0.060). Days since the end of a VAS campaign ("days since VAS") was calculated as the interview date minus the end date of the VAS campaign. The MRDR value was assessed using HPLC. We excluded children whose MRDR values were below the limit of detection (<0.007). We used linear regression to evaluate the association between days since VAS and log-transformed MRDR. In adjusted analyses, we controlled for potential confounders. Statistical analyses accounted for the surveys' complex design. The prevalence of VAD was 5.2% (95% CI: 1.1%, 9.3%). Mean days since VAS was 54.1 d (range 39-68 d). Days since VAS was not associated with log-transformed MRDR in unadjusted analyses ($\hat{\beta } = \ $0.0055; 95% CI:-0.009, 0.020; P=0.45) or adjusted analyses ($\hat{\beta } = $ -0.0073; 95% CI:-0.024, 0.010; P=0.39). MRDR measurement through a nutrition survey began as early as 1.3 mo after the end of a VAS campaign in eastern Uganda. Days since the end of a VAS campaign was not associated with MRDR in Ugandan children aged 12-23mo. Future studies should consider longitudinal designs and evaluate time since VAS and MRDR in children of different ages and in regions with higher VAD prevalence.
