Tujuan pengembangan paket pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam adalah untukmenghasilkan paket pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam yang memfasilitasipembelajaran pembentukan sikap atau aspek afektif dalam rangka meningkatkan kualitasproses dan hasil pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam. Model yang digunakan dalammengembangkan paket pembelajaran ini adalah model Dick & Carey (2001). Model initerdiri dari 10 langkah, namun dalam pengembangan ini hanya dilakukan sampai 9 langkahkarena keterbatasan waktu dan biaya. Langkah-langkah tersebut adalah: (1) Analisiskebutuhan untuk menentukan tujuan, (2) Analisis pembelajaran, (3) Identifikasi perilaku awaldan karakteristik pebelajar, (4) Merumuskan TPK, (5) Mengembangkan butir-butir tes, (6)Mengembangkan srategi pembelajaran, (7) Memilih dan mengembangkan materi, (8)melakukan evaluasi formatif, (9) Merevisi pembelajaran. Pemilihan penggunaan model Dick& Carey dalam pengembangan desain pembelajaran ini didasarkan pada beberapa alasan,yaitu: (1) Materi mata pelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam merupakan materi yangpenyajiannya memerlukan urutan-urutan tertentu secara sistematis. Misalnya, pada materiSurat-surat Al-Qur`an terdiri dari materi bacaan surat, arti surat, dan kajian surat dimanapenyajiannya tidak boleh ditukar-tukar. Sifat-sifat materi seperti ini sangat sesuai untukdikembangkan dengan model Dick & Carey, (2) Menurut beberapa penelitian bahwapemanfaatan sumber belajar berupa paket pembelajaran model Dick & Carey secara efektifdapat meningkatkan hasil belajar. Produk pengembangan berupa paket pembelajaran yangterdiri atas bahan ajar, panduan guru dan panduan siswa diujicobakan melalui evaluasiformatif yang meliputi beberapa tahap yaitu: review ahli isi materi, review ahli desain danmedia pembelajaran, uji coba perorangan, uji coba kelompok kecil. Data hasil evaluasiformatif berupa saran, tanggapan dan penilaian dari subjek uji coba digunakan sebagaimasukan untuk merevisi dan menyempurnakan paket pembelajaran yang dihasilkan. Hasilahli isi materi maupun dari uji ahli desain komponen bahan ajar menunjukkan pada kategorisangat baik dengan persentase padaahli isi 86%, ahli desain 75%, tanggapan siswa 89,5%dan tanggapan guru 80%
A research project to prevent the exclusion from school of 'at risk' primary aged pupils

Significant research and policy has focused on educational inclusion. However, pupils continue to be excluded from schools. Pupils experiencing behavioural, emotional and social difficulties are most likely to form this cohort excluded from school. There is a tension, as within the context of inclusion, this cohort of pupils are often regarded as the most difficult to include. Research shows there are poor outcomes for pupils excluded from school, in both the short to medium term, and often lifelong. The aim of this research was to prevent the exclusion of a group of primary age pupils who had been identified as ‘at risk’ of exclusion by school staff. The ‘Integrated Framework to Guide Educational Psychologist Practice’ was used to secure a holistic investigation of each pupil’s circumstances at the level of the individual pupil, school and home levels. Protective and risk factors at each level were identified, with the aim of designing interventions which strengthened protective influences and reduced risk, in order to reduce the threat of exclusion from school. Five cases from a single school formed the research sample and a range of methods were used to establish risk and protective factors for each case including pupil interview, pupil questionnaire, other assessments judged relevant in each case, parent interview, parent questionnaire, staff interview, staff questionnaire, document analysis and consultation discussion groups. The findings suggest that a systemic approach to assessment can produce a rich picture of risk and protective factors at individual, school and family levels. Such a rich picture can inform effective assessment, formulation and intervention. While each case study was unique with its own risk and protective factors, the research found many key themes common to the five cases, including: misperceptions of developmental delay/learning difficulties by school staff; high pupil satisfaction with school; differences between predicted and actual levels of self-esteem; low levels of hope; external loci of control; absence of the child’s voice in previous assessments; identifiable behavioural antecedents; complexity of home circumstances; a lack of home/school liaison; and a lack of monitoring and evaluation of the interventions used with pupils experiencing behavioural, emotional and social difficulties. These findings were harnessed to shape future school policy and practice to support greater inclusion of pupils experiencing behavioural, emotional and social difficulties who are at risk of exclusion from their mainstream school.

Do altmetrics correlate with citations? A study based on the 1,000 most-cited articles

The purpose of this paper is to study the presence of highly cited papers of Nature in social media websites and tools. It also tries to examine the correlation between altmetric and bibliometric indicators. ,This descriptive study was carried out using altmetric indicators. The research sample consisted of 1,000 most-cited articles in Nature. In February 2019, the bibliographic information of these articles was extracted from the Scopus database. Then, the titles of all articles were manually searched on Google, and by referring to the article in the journal website and altmetric institution, the data related to social media presence and altmetric score of articles were collected. The data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS. ,According to the results of the study, from 1,000 articles, 989 of them (98.9 per cent) were mentioned at least once in different social media websites and tools. The most used altmetric source in highly cited articles was Mendeley (98.9 per cent), followed by Citeulike (79.8 per cent) and Wikipedia (69.4 per cent). Most Tweets, blog posts, Facebook posts, news stories, readers in Mendeley, Citeulike and Connotea and Wikipedia citations belonged to the article titled “Mastering the game of Go with deep neural networks and tree search”. The highest altmetric score was 3,135 which belonged to this paper. Most tweeters and articles’ readers were from the USA. The membership type of the tweeters was public membership. In terms of fields of study, most readers were PhD students in Agricultural and Biological Sciences. Finally, the results of Spearman’s Correlation revealed positive significant statistical correlation between all altmetric indicators and received citations of highly cited articles (p-value = 0.0001). ,The results of this study can help researchers, editors and editorial boards of journals better understand the importance and benefits of using social media and tools to publish articles. ,Altmetrics is a relatively new field, and in particular, there are not many studies related to the presence of articles in various social media until now. Accordingly, in this study, a comprehensive altmetric analysis was carried out on 1000 most-cited articles of one of the world's most reliable journals.
Use of Facebook and its impact on the university students in Dhaka: an exploratory analysis

With the recent technological revolution internet and social networking sites have come to the fingertips of to the world citizens. which is the most widely used social network, which has been used for recreational, leisure and communication purposes with the surrounding people of the world. This study examines the usage pattern, advantage, disadvantage, and addiction of Facebook among the students of Master of Development Studies (MDS) of BRAC University. This study gives an overview of the use of Facebook, for what benefits they use it, what kind of problems they face while using Facebook. A structured questionnaire was used to collect information from 79 respondents. The most frequent users of Facebook users age ranges from 18 to 24 years old thus target people for this research has been fixed from 18 to 28 years old University students in Dhaka. Target group (18-28 years old university students) responses were 55 people. Findings of this study reveal that the duration of usage per day of the respondents is 167.4 minutes. The average logins per day was found 9.35 times. They spent on an average 27 minutes on Facebook per session of logins. Most observed Facebook advantages are: networking, news source, information and educational help, whereas disadvantages are: wasting of time, health issues, reduced family time, bothered by fake profiles. It was found that 40% of the respondents are severely addicted to Facebook whereas 27% of them are moderately addicted. After running a Pearson correlation test it was found that there is a significant positive correlation between the higher duration in Facebook with higher levels of addiction.
Accelerated maturation of peripheral blood lymphocytes in children with primary hypertension

Introduction. Primary hypertension (PH) is associated with immune activation. The isoforms of leucocyte common antigen (CD45) in the CD4 and CD8 T cell subsets are markers of T cells status. Naive cells express the RA+ isoform and memory cells express the RO+ isoform. The profile of CD45 isoforms may serve as the marker of T cells functional status and senescence. Aim. Analysis of distribution of T lymphocytes bearing CD45RA+ (naive) and CD45RO+ (memory) markers and their relationship with hypertension severity and target organ damage (TOD). Material and methods. 68 children with PH (15.6 ± 2 years, 59 boys) and control group of 26 (14.8 ± 3.7 years, 19 boys) children. The expression of CD45RA+ and CD45RO+ isoforms in the CD4 and CD8 T cell subset was evaluated by flow cytometry technique. Results. Hypertensive children had greater intensity and percentage of CD45RO+CD4 and CD8 T lymphocytes and lower RA+/RO+ ratio of CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes than controls. T lymphocytes markers expression did not correlate with carotid intima-mediathickness. Children with left ventricular hypertrophy had less CD45RA+CD4 T cells, more CD45RO+ CD4 T cells and lower ratio of RA+/RO+CD4 cells than PH children with normal left ventricular mass index. The percentage of CD45RA+CD8 T cells decreased with increasing blood pressure status from prehypertension, ambulatory hypertension to severe ambulatory hypertension. Conclusions. PH children had less naive T lymphocytes and more T cells with ‘memory phenotype’. These alterations correlated with hypertension severity and TOD.
Analyzing person‐exposure patterns in lone‐actor terrorism

The lone-actor terrorist population can be extremely heterogenous and difficult to detect. Intelligence is key to countering this threat. This study devises a typology of person-environment interactions which could serve as a framework for intelligence-gathering and risk assessment. We use cluster analysis and a previously-developed Risk Analysis Framework (RAF) to identify relations between three components: propensity, situation and network. The analysis reveals four person-exposure patterns (PEPs): solitary, susceptible, situational and selection. The solitary PEP lacks common indicators of a propensity to pursue terrorist action. What indicators are present may not manifest until late in the offending process. The susceptible PEP suggests a style of interaction whereby cognitive susceptibility, manifesting as mental illness, is a key factor in the emergence of the propensity/motivation to commit a terrorist attack. This configuration typifies cases where radicalisation may occur in a short time span. The situational PEP demonstrates how situational stressors may act as warnings of acceleration towards violent action; the challenge being to capture evidence of these stressors and their effects. Lastly, the selection PEP demonstrates higher frequencies of leakage and antecedent violent behaviours. These offenders may be known to the community or other agencies, suggesting specific opportunities for detection and disruption.
Quality education without central examinations: The case of Flanders

Improving the quality of education is a permanent concern for national policymakers. In that regard, a growing number of education systems have implemented a monitoring system where pupils have to take standardised tests at regular intervals during their school career (OECD, 2013). With this piece, I aim to offer food for thought to the readers of Management in Education on the topic of central examinations (CE), in introducing a point of view from an education system that differs strongly from the English education system.
When Spider Webs Unite

ABSTRACT Resource-limited countries with high rates of infection face the biggest challenges in addressing the HIV/AIDS pandemic, as government and non-governmental infrastructures are often undeveloped and slow to shift their focus away from nation-building and other perceived priorities in order to scale up their response to HIV/AIDS. This article examines the role of trained volunteers who provide Home-Based Family Care in the high HIV-prevalence, resource-limited country of Namibia in Southern Africa. While each volunteer alone can make only a small difference, an organization that effectively uses many volunteers can make a large impact. Special focus is given to the experi-ence-and potential-of churches to recruit, train, and help sustain volunteers to provide AIDS care and support. The case example of Catholic AIDS Action in Namibia-that country's largest non-governmental organization dedicated to HIV-related prevention and care-is used to illustrate key points. The article concludes with “lessons learned” that can be applied to other non-governmental and faith-based providers who seek to recruit and involve volunteers in the provision of direct-care services.
Teacher candidates’ intentions to teach: implications for recruiting and retaining teachers in urban schools

ABSTRACT This study addresses how teacher candidates committed to a social-justice-oriented urban teacher residency programme articulate and reflect why they want to be teachers in high-need public schools and what they expect from teaching so as to ascertain what they expect to do. The participants of this study included 77 graduates who participated in four cohorts of an urban teacher residency programme from 2010 through 2014. Employing a qualitative case study design, we analysed 77 sets of admissions essays, which were completed as part of the residency application process. Building on our analysis of candidates’ admissions essays through inductive coding, we find that candidates’ reflections on why they want to be teachers in high-need public schools and what they expect to do, stem from their beliefs in their role as a teacher and their beliefs about the role of education. Such reflections are grounded in beliefs of teacher activism, pupil activism, and advocacy for pupils who have been marginalised due to systemic inequalities. The study illuminates committed teachers’ reasons for entering the teaching profession so as to inform better recruitment strategies, and has implications for how initial teacher education (ITE) programme could specifically improve their professional preparation and practices to recruit and retain qualified teachers who intend to stay.
Examining Effects of Early Life Stress and Moderating Influences of Current Life Stress on Reward Processing in Young Adults

This study investigated whether high levels of perceived life stress (Perceived Stress Scale; PSS) moderate the relationship between higher levels of childhood adversity (Childhood Trauma Questionnaire; CTQ) and reduced reward processing functions in a university sample. It was hypothesized that early life adversity and perceived stress would lead to reduced reward sensitivity, measured through performance on the Monetary Incentive Delay Task (MIDT). Further, early life adversity was predicted to reduce motivational behaviours, measured through performance on the Effort Expenditure for Rewards Task (EEfRT). While results did not reveal a significant interaction between childhood adversity and current life stress on reward processes, higher CTQ scores were associated with reduced accuracy in the MIDT. Participants in the high stress group also demonstrated increased reaction times across MIDT trials. There were no significant effects on the EEfRT. These results demonstrate independent associations between early life adversity, current perceived stress, and reduced reward sensitivity. EFFECTS OF EARLY AND CURRENT STRESS ON REWARD iii Table of
Aspartate aminotransferase as a biomarker in periodontal disease: A comparative in vitro study

Background: Estimation of biomarkers in saliva could offer an attractive opportunity for the diagnosis of periodontal diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels in the saliva of patients with periodontal disease. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients were assigned to each of the three groups - C0, C3, and C4 based on their largest Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN) code, totaling 60 participants. Immediately after a single mouth rinse with 15 mL of water to wash out exfoliated cells, about 1 mL of unstimulated saliva was collected in sterile plastic containers and transported to the biochemical laboratory for spectrophotometric analysis. Results: There were significant differences between levels of AST from the groups C0, C3, and C4. There was a significant positive correlation between clinical parameters and AST concentration in the saliva of each group. There was no statistical significance between males and females in all three groups. Conclusion: AST levels in the saliva increased with increase in the CPITN score. Group C0 had the least while group C4 had the highest AST level. High levels of AST are characteristic features of periodontitis affected subjects. Hence, monitoring the levels of AST in the saliva could be utilized as periodontal disease markers.
The relationship between the elementary school teachers’ thinking styles and the teaching methods they use

This study aims to determine the relationship between the elementary school teachers thinking styles and their teaching methods and investigate the teachers thinking styles in relation to their subject area, and gender. The study was carried out with 57 classroom teachers and 44 subject area teachers working in seven elementary schools located in Mugla city in 20092010 school year. For the collection of data, thinking style inventory and teaching methods questionnaire were used. While the highest scores were obtained by the teachers for hierarchic, legistlative, executive thinking styles, the lowest scores were obtained for conservative, oligarchic, local thinking styles. Moreover, their thinking styles do not significantly vary depending on gender and subject area variables (p>.05). Except for legistlative, oligarchic and conservative styles, positive significant correlation was found between their styles and the scores they obtained from teaching methods questionnaire.
Marital strain trajectories over a quarter century and spouses’ loneliness: Couple-level and individual pathways

Although research suggests that stressful marital experiences may lead to feelings of loneliness in later life, little is known about the influence of marital strain over an extended period of time on loneliness in later years. Thus, in the present study, drawing from family systems and cognitive theories along with common fate and actor–partner interdependence modeling approaches, we hypothesized a hybrid model comprised of two multilevel pathways explaining the persistent influence of marital strain on loneliness, including: (a) a couple-level pathway and (b) an individual pathway involving within-spouse and between-spouse effects. Specifically, we investigated the influences of individual- and couple-level trajectories of marital strain over a period of 25 years (from 1991 to 2015) on loneliness outcomes in later years with a sample of 257 couples in enduring, long-term (over 40 years) marriages. The results mostly supported both hypothesized pathways. Consistent with the pathway involving a couple-level process, couple-level trajectories of marital strain predicted couples’ later-life loneliness as reflected by both spouses’ reports of loneliness (shared perceptions). In addition, at the individual level, each spouses’ unexplained variances (unique perception) in marital strain trajectories predicted his/her own later-life loneliness outcomes (within-spouse effect or actor effect). Findings are discussed as they relate to intervention and prevention programs focusing on the well-being of married couples in later life.
Semantic integration declines independently of working memory in aging

Abstract Semantic integration and working memory both decline with age. However, it remains unclear whether the semantic integration decline is independent of working memory decline or whether it can be solely explained by the latter factor. In this event-related potentials experiment, 43 younger adults and 43 cognitively healthy older adults read semantically congruent and incongruent sentences. After controlling for working memory, behavioral accuracy was significantly lower in the older adults than in the younger adults. In addition, the semantic integration related N400 effect (incongruent vs. congruent) for correct trials was apparent in the whole brain in the younger adults but restricted to the posterior region in the older adults. The results clarify the relationship between working memory and semantic integration, and clearly demonstrate that semantic integration decline is independent of working memory decline during aging.
