AN ANSWERING TO THE QUESTION: FOR WHOM DID CHRIST DIE
Authors: Sembiring Rasmalem Raya
Published: September 2020

Is the sufficiency of the death of Christ sufficient to provide the salvation for all people? If the answer is afirmative, but why not all people be saved? Those who hold Arminiant view, or Amyradism view, or hypothetical univesalism view, or Calvinism view, all agree that those who believe in Christ is saved. The New Testament passages cited in favor of general atonement greatly out numer those passages cited in favor of particular atonement. So, for whom did Christ die? Was it merely to make the salvation of all men possile; to remove the obstacles which stood in the way of the offer of pard acceptance to sinners? or was it specially to render certain the salvation of his own people, i.e. of those given to Him by the Father? By understanding the the atonement of Christ in the Scripture, who Christ is, the atonement of Christ in the church history, God’s decree on election and considering scripture passages, is the best to conclude that : for whom did Christ die is effectively to save those who believes in Christ

Artikel ini merupakan catatan atas tiga dekade bergulirnya wacana program pengembangan kota Mamminasata dan dampaknya di pedesaan. Studi ini dilakukan di tiga kelurahan yang terletak persis berbatasan dengan kota Makassar yakni Paccinongang, Romang Polong dan Samata, tiga kelurahan yang tepat dilalui oleh program-program pembangunan strategis Mamminasata. Program ini dijalankan di kota Makassar, sebagian Wilayah Kabupaten Maros, Sebagian Wilayah Kabupaten Gowa dan seluruh wilayah Kabupaten Takalar. Tetapi catatan ini bukanlah catatan makro mengenai gagalnya sebuah proyek pembangunan, tetapi sebaliknya, adalah catatan mikro tentang sebuah program pembangunan skala besar dan dampaknya di pedesaan. Riset yang dilakukan menghasilkan data mengenai bagaimana proyek pembangunan ini menguntungkan kelas pengusaha properti dan sebaliknya, menyingkirkan petani kecil dari lahan pertaniannya atau menyingkirkan petani dari lahannya yang strategis menuju keluar kota yang letaknya semakin jauh serta konflik dan sengketa antara warga desa dan warga pendatang yang dibawa oleh industri properti yang dipicu oleh pembangunan infrastruktur Mamminasata.

Assessing the effect of article processing charges on the geographic diversity of authors using Elsevier’s ‘Mirror Journal’ system
Authors: Smith Audrey Culver , Merz Leandra , Borden Jesse B. , Gulick Chris , Kshirsagar Akhil Ravindra , Bruna Emilio Miguel
Published: September 2020

Journals publishing open access (OA) articles often require that authors pay article processing charges (APC). Researchers in the Global South often cite APCs as a major financial obstacle to OA publishing, especially in widely-recognized or prestigious outlets. Consequently, it has been hypothesized that authors from the Global South will be underrepresented in journals charging APCs. We tested this hypothesis using >37,000 articles from Elsevier’s ‘Mirror journal’ system, in which a hybrid ‘Parent’ journal and its Gold-OA ‘Mirror’ share editorial boards and standards for acceptance. Most articles were non-OA; 45% of articles had lead authors based in either the United States of America (USA) or China. After correcting for the effect of this dominance and differences in sample size, we found that OA articles published in Parent and Mirror journals had lead authors with similar Geographic Diversity. However, Author Geographic Diversity of OA articles was significantly lower than that of non-OA articles. Most OA articles were written by authors in high-income countries, and there were no articles in Mirror journals by authors in low-income countries. Our results for Elsevier’s Mirror-Parent system are consistent with the hypothesis that APCs are a barrier to OA publication for scientists from the Global South.

Results demonstrated that (i) higher normative concerns and neurotic trait were predictors of higher COVID-19 worry; and (ii) higher normative concerns and COVID-19 worry significant predictors of buying preparatory materials, higher worry for postponing travel plan, and higher worry and neuroticism for purchasing daily commodities more than usual and difficulties in concentration.
Back-off: Evaluation of Robot Motion Strategies to Facilitate Human-Robot Spatial Interaction
Authors: Reinhardt Jakob , Prasch Lorenz , Bengler Klaus
Published: September 2020

Standstill behavior by a robot is deemed to be ineffective and inefficient to convey a robot’s intention to yield priority to another party in spatial interaction. Instead, robots could convey their intention and, thus, their next action via motion. We developed a back-off movement to communicate the intention of yielding priority to pedestrians at bottlenecks. To evaluate human sensory perception and subjective legibility, the back-off is compared to three other motion strategies in a video study with N = 167 interviewees at the university and public spaces, where it excels regarding legibility. Implemented in a real encounter, objective motion behavior of N = 78 participants as a reaction to a stop & wait strategy, and two versions of back-off (short and long) shows an improvement of the pedestrians’ efficiency in the second encounter with the robot’s short back-off version compared to the stop strategy. Eventually, in the third encounter with all motion strategies, interaction causes only a small time consumption still required by the cognitive process of perceiving an object in the visual field. Hence, the design of kinematic parameters, back-off path and time, exhibits the potential to increase the fluency of an interaction with robots at bottlenecks.

Objective: To investigate differences in movement behaviors (physical activity, sleep, screen time) in both parents and children during the early stages of COVID-19 pandemic in Australia, compared to pre-COVID-19 national data; and, estimate associations between these movement behaviors with parent and child mental health. Methods: We used cross-sectional baseline data from the COVID-19 Pandemic Adjustment Study (CPAS; N=2,365). Participants were parents of children aged ≤18 years, residing in Australia. We drew on nationally representative pre-COVID data from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC; N=9,438). In both studies, parents provided the same self-report measures of physical activity, sleep quality, as well as measures of child physical activity and screen time. Parents reported on their own and their child’s mental health. Results: Compared to LSAC, children in CPAS had more sleep problems (17.4% vs 8.9%, p<.001) and more weekend screen time (3.98 hours vs 3.35 hours, p<.001), while more parents had poor sleep quality (56.7% vs 21.0%, p<.001) despite increased weekly physical activity (3.86 days vs 2.85 days, p<.001). Children’s sleep problems were associated with increased depression, anxiety and irritability symptoms, after accounting for physical activity and screen time (all p<.001). Poorer parent sleep quality and lower levels of physical activity were associated with poorer mental health across all indicators (all p≤.001).Conclusion: Government funded mental health programs to implement evidence-based sleep interventions for children and their parents, along with targeted messaging around physical activity should be considered to promote mental health within the family context during lockdown restrictions.
Event-related potentials, inhibition and Alzheimer's disease risk in cognitively intact elders
Authors: Elverman Kathleen H. , Paitel Elizabeth R. , Figueroa Christina M. , McKindles Ryan J. , Nielson Kristy A
Published: September 2020

Despite advances in understanding Alzheimer’s disease (AD), prediction of AD prior to symptom onset remains severely limited, even when primary risk factors such as the apolipoprotein-E (APOE) ε4 allele are known. Objective: Although executive dysfunction is highly prevalent and is a primary contributor to loss of independence in those with AD, few studies have examined neural differences underlying executive functioning as indicators of risk for AD prior to symptom onset, when intervention might be effective. Methods: This study examined event-related potential (ERP) differences during inhibitory control in 44 cognitively intact older adults (20 ε4+, 24 ε4-), relative to 41 young adults. All participants completed go/no-go and stop-signal tasks. Results: Overall, both older adult groups exhibited slower reaction times and longer ERP latencies compared to young adults. Older adults also had generally smaller N200 and P300 amplitudes, except at frontal electrodes and for N200 stop-signal amplitudes, which were larger in older adults. Considered with intact task accuracy, these findings suggest age-related neural compensation. Although ε4 did not distinguish elders during go or no-go tasks, this study uniquely showed that the more demanding stop-signal task was sensitive to ε4 differences, despite comparable task and neuropsychological performance with non-carriers. Specifically, ε4+ elders had slower frontal N200 latency and larger N200 amplitude, which was most robust at frontal sites, compared with ε4-. Conclusion: N200 during a stop-signal task is sensitive to AD risk, prior to any evidence of cognitive dysfunction, suggesting that stop-signal ERPs may be an important protocol addition to neuropsychological testing.
Power calculations in single case neuropsychology
Authors: McIntosh Robert D , Rittmo Jonathan Ö.
Published: September 2020

Researchers and clinicians in neuropsychology often compare individual patients against healthy control samples, to quantify evidence for cognitive-behavioural deficits and dissociations. Statistical methods for these comparisons have been developed that control Type I (false positive) errors effectively. However, remarkably little attention has been given to the power of these tests. In this practical primer, we describe, in minimally technical terms, the origins and limits of power for case-control comparisons. We argue that power calculations can play useful roles in single-case study design and interpretation, and we make suggestions for optimising power in practice. As well as providing figures, tables and tools for estimating the power of case-control comparisons, we hope to assist researchers in setting realistic expectations for what such tests can achieve in general.

Published: September 2020

Attenuated or transient Psychosis is experienced by a substantial proportion of the general population. Research also predicted that subjects perceiving psychotic-like experience are at high risk to develop psychotic spectrum disorder in the future. Aim The present study planned to estimate the psychotic-like experience or Attenuated psychosis in caregivers of psychotic patients attending the psychiatry department at JN Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) Aligarh. In this study, we will also assess the relationship between disturbed sleep, perceived stress, and transient psychosis. Materials and methods: Purposive sampling was used to recruit all the subjects with informed written consent. All data were collected by applying a self-administered semi-structured proforma. Peters Delusions Inventory (PDI), Launay Slade Hallucination Scale-Revised (LSHS-R), Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSQ), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12) on the subjects. Statistical analyses was done by using SPSS software 20 version. Result: Result shows the majority of caregivers belong to the age group 18-30 years (56.45%). Maximum patients have the persecutory type of psychotic-like experience and among hallucinatory experience maximum subjects responded that “no matter how hard I try to concentrate; unrelated thoughts always creep into my mind”. Delusion experiences were strongly positively correlated with hallucinatory experiences, perceived stress. Hallucinatory experiences were positively correlated with perceived stress poor sleep quality. Conclusion: It can be concluded that stress increases subclinical delusional and hallucinatory experiences. Though disturbed sleep is positively correlated with hallucination but not a delusion.
The cognition/metacognition tradeoff
Authors: Rosenbaum David Mitrani , Glickman Moshe , Fleming Stephen M , Usher Marius
Published: September 2020

Integration-to-boundary is an optimal decision algorithm that takes samples of evidence until the posterior reaches a decision boundary, resulting in the fastest decisions for a target accuracy. For example, integration-to-boundary achieves faster mean-RT compared with taking a fixed number of samples that result in the same choice-accuracy. Here we show that this advantage comes at a cost in metacognitive accuracy. We show that integration-to-boundary results in less variability in evidence-integration, and is less predictive of choice accuracy. We test this in two experiments, in which all participants carried out two sessions that manipulated the response-mode protocol: free-response (evidence terminated by the subject response) vs interrogation (fixed number of evidence samples, which is the same as in the free-response session). In both sessions the participants observe a sequence of evidence frames (2/sec) and they first enter a choice and then a confidence response. As predicted, the latter protocol enhances metacognitive accuracy.

Published: September 2020

The more professional human resources are in control, the vision and mission and goals of the company will be achieved effectively, efficiently, and productively (Budiharjo, 2015: 5). Therefore, human resource management is needed that is not only able to recruit it, but able to retain competent employees and improve the performance of its employees so the company can continue to develop better and be able to compete with its competitors (Budiharjo, 2015: 8).

The results showed that: 1) There was an influence of professionalism on employee work productivity, as evidenced by the tcount for the Professionalism (X) variable of 20,830, while the t-table value for N = 85 was 1,988. So 20,830> 1,988, then H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted, it can be stated that Professionalism (X) has a significant effect on Employee Productivity (Y). Probability value (significance) = 0,000. So the probability is 0,000 below 0.05. Thus, H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted, it can be concluded that there is a positive and significant effect between the professional variable (X) on the Employee Productivity variable (Y), because the probability value is smaller than 0.05. 2) There is an influence of Professionalism on Employee Work Productivity, as evidenced by the R Square value of 0.839. This shows that 83.9% Professionalism (X) affects Employee Productivity (Y), while the remaining 16.1% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study.

This research was conducted based on researchers’ will to find out the Roles of Small and Micro Enterprises of Snack and Pastry Productions, and Product Inovation toward the Increase of Economy Income of Periuk People – Tangerang City.

There are many factors influencing the increase of economy income of UMKM People. Some of them are the lack of policy program on foster father, which was identified to affect the increase of people’s economy income. There was also a shift on the business pattern, which is from conventional into digital. This was why the number of enterpreneurs of micro and small enterprises grew so rapid and massive that it affected the increase of people’s economy income. The lack information on UMKM programs for the people was identified to affect the increase of people’s economy income. The small number of innovation on snack products produced was suspected to influence the increase of people’s economy income.

The independent factors studied were the Roles of Small and Micro Enterprises (X1) and Product Innovation (X2), and the dependent factor was People’s Income (Y). Based on the results of correlation coefficient analysis, it was found out that coefficient correlation for X1 is 0.750 and for X2 was 0,805. This means that the roles of micro and small enterprises and product innovation strongly influenced the people’s income. The positive impact showed that the better the roles of micro and small enterprises and product innovation, the higher the people’s income.

To find out how much they influenced, Simple Linear Regression was used as analysis tool. It was found out that the results of Variable (X1) and the value of tcount (8.253) was higher than ttable (1.984) and it rejected Ho. So, the hypothesis is Ho was rejected and Ha was accepted. This showed that there were significant influences between roles of micro and small enterprises and the product innovation with the people’s income. The variable X2 with the value of Tcount 4.862 was higher than Ttable and it belonged to the rejection scope of Ho. So, the hypothesis was Ho was rejected and Ha was accepted. This indicated that there were significant influences between product innovation and people’s income.

Evaluation of Diagnostic Accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Posterior Ligamentum Complex Injury of Thoracolumbar Spine
Authors: Mehta Gaurav , Shetty Utsav Chandrashekar , Meena Dharamraj , Tiwari Ashok Kumar , Nama Kishan Gopal , Aseri Dharmendra
Published: September 2020

Study Design: Prospective diagnostic imaging study. Purpose: The stability of the thoracic and lumbar spine depends significantly on the posterior ligamentum complex (PLC). Therefore, it is essential to diagnose PLC injuries accurately before deciding on a treatment plan for thoracolumbar injury patients. However, the efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing PLC remains undetermined. Overview of Literature: MRI has become the ultimate tool in diagnosing spine injury cases, as previous literature suggests that it has very high sensitivity and specificity. But this is still controversial and as many surgeons rely on just MRI for selecting the patient for surgery, it becomes important to know the diagnostic accuracy of it. Methods: Patients who sustained injuries from T1 to L3 and required posterior surgery were prospectively studied. The treating surgeon and musculoskeletal radiologist participating in the study reviewed preoperative MRI images to characterize the level(s) of injury and the integrity of the six components of the PLC. These were classified as intact, incompletely disrupted, or disrupted. During the surgical procedure, the surgeon also classified each component of the PLC, and the radiologist’s and surgeon’s findings were compared. Results: Out of 66 patients, 46 were males (69.7%) and 20 were females (30.3%), and the average age was 34.12 years. According to the kappa score, there was a moderate level of agreement between the radiologist’s interpretation and the intraoperative findings for all PLC components except for the thoracolumbar fascia and ligamentum flavum for which there was a slight agreement. The sensitivity for the intact PLC components ranged from 100% (supraspinous ligament) to 66.67% (ligamentum flavum). The specificity ranged from 100% (interspinous ligament) to 52% (thoracolumbar fascia). The Spearman’s rank correlation ranged from 0.061 for the thoracolumbar fascia to 0.918 for the interspinous ligament, and the percentage agreement ranged from 81.82% (interspinous ligament to 36.36% (thoracolumbar fascia). Conclusions: The sensitivity and specificity of MRI for diagnosing injury of the PLC in this study were lower than those previously reported in the literature. The integrity of the PLC as determined by MRI should not be used in isolation to determine treatment.

Study Design; A retrospective observational study was performed. Purpose: We investigated the relationships between skeletal muscle mass, bone mineral density (BMD), and trabecular bone score (TBS) in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). Overview of Literature: The TBS has attracted attention as a measurement of trabecular bone microarchitecture. It is derived from data obtained using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and is a reported indicator of VCFs, and its addition to the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool increases the accuracy of fracture prediction. Methods: BMD, skeletal muscle mass, and TBS were measured in 142 patients who visited Shimoshizu National Hospital from April to August 2019. Patients were divided into a VCF group and a non-VCF group. Whole-body DXA scans were performed to analyze body composition, including appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (SMI; lean mass [kg]/height [m2]) and BMD. The diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia was an appendicular SMI <5.46 kg/m2. A logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the risk factors for VCFs. Results: The significant (p<0.05) findings (VCF group vs. non-VCF group, respectively) included age (79 vs. 70 years), femoral BMD (0.50 vs. 0.58 g/cm2), TBS (1.25 vs. 1.29), and lower limb muscle mass (8.6 vs. 9.9 kg). The VCF group was significantly older and had a lower femur BMD and decreased leg muscle mass than the non-VCF group. Based on the multiple logistic regression analysis, lower femoral BMD and decreased leg muscle mass were identified as risk factors for vertebral fracture independent of age, but the TBS was not. Conclusions: Patients with VCFs had low BMD, a low TBS, and low skeletal muscle mass. Lower femoral BMD and decreased leg muscle mass were identified as risk factors for VCFs independent of age, whereas the TBS was not identified as a risk factor for VCFs.

Study Design: Retrospective study. Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of mirogabalin in treatment of peripheral neuropathic pain due to lumbar spine disease. Overview of Literature: Mirogabalin is a novel selective ligand for the α2δ subunit of voltage-gated Ca channels. Methods: Between April and December 2019, we used mirogabalin to treat 60 consecutive patients (mean age, 67.6 years) with leg symptoms due to lumbar disease. The treatment outcome after 8 weeks of mirogabalin therapy was evaluated by comparing the preand post-administration Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for leg symptoms and sleep disturbance, the NRS and Roland–Morris Disability Questionnaire for low back pain (LBP), and the quality of life (QOL) score (based on EuroQol five-dimension five-level scale). Results: Mirogabalin treatment was stopped at less than eight weeks in eight patients. The remaining 52 patients for evaluation were divided as group 1 (17 patients who presented with leg symptoms that lasted for less than 3 months) and group 2 (35 patients with leg symptoms that lasted longer than 3 months). The leg symptoms and LBP in both groups significantly improved at 4 and 8 weeks of treatment, and sleep disturbance and QOL were improved at 8 weeks as well. Compared to group 2, the pretreatment leg symptoms and QOL were significantly worse in group 1, and their improvement after 8 weeks of mirogabalin treatment was significantly better (p<0.05). Of the 60 original patients, 17 suffered adverse effects, which were mild in 16 patients and required treatment cessation due to excessive weight gain in one patient. Conclusions: We have validated the effect of mirogabalin on neuropathic pain due to lumbar spine disease, which has effectively addressed the associated leg symptoms, LBP, and sleep disturbance.

Mikorizne gljive žive u simbiozi s korijenom viših biljaka, pa tako i vinove loze. Tijekom zajedničkog suživota, mikorizne gljive pomažu biljci u stjecanju vode i mineralnih hranjivih tvari iz tla, dobivajući za uzvrat produkte fotosinteze od biljke. Mikoriza igra ključnu ulogu u ciklusu hranjivih tvari u ekosustavu, a također štiti biljku od stresa iz okoliša pri čemu ujedno i povećava otpornost biljaka na štetnike i bolesti. Mikorizne gljive također imaju pozitivnu ulogu u prilagodbi biljke na nepovoljne uvjete tla. Štoviše, mikoriza kod inokuliranih trsova vinove loze može znatno povećati prinos i poboljšala kvalitetu grožđa.

Bakterijska nanoceluloza (BNC) je obnovljiva prirodna polimerna sirovina koju karakteriziraju izvrsna svojstva poput visoke kristaliničnosti i stupnja polimerizacije, hidrofilnosti, kiralnosti, biorazgradivosti, te sposobnosti stvaranja različitih morfologija polukristaliničnih vlakana. U ovom je radu istraživan uzgoj kombuche u aerobnim uvjetima tijekom 14 dana fermentacije u kokosovoj vodi na sobnoj temperaturi, pri različitim koncentracijama saharoze. Praćene su promjene pH vrijednosti, koncentracije etanola, octene, glukonske i mliječne kiseline, kao i prinos BNC. Istraživana je kinetika otpuštanja vode iz sintetizirane BNC, a rezultati su potvrdili da su uzorci pogodni za zacjeljivanje rana na koži. Antimikrobna aktivnost kombuche je testirana na bakterijama Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium i Bacillus subtilis, te kvascu vrste Candida albicans. Uočena je antimikrobna aktivnost fermentirane kokosove vode na bakterije, no ne u potpunosti i na kvasac C. albicans.

The current study aimed to examine the relationship between weight-based teasing, coping strategies and self-esteem among obese university students. A total of 60 obese university students (Males=30, Females=30) of the age group 17 to 26 years (M= 21.52, SD= 2.24) were chosen from different universities of Lahore. The measures used in the current study were Body Mass Index (Center for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2013), Perception of Teasing Scale (Thompson, Cattarin, Fowler & Fisher, 1995), Coping Orientation to Problem Experienced Questionnaire (Carver, Scheier & Weintraub, 1989) and Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965). The findings revealed no significant gender differences in the use of problem focused and emotion focused coping styles. The results also revealed that 70% of the overweight/obese students were living a sedentary life style while 30% of the participants were engaged in taking a properly balanced diet along with exercise. 60% of the students were overweight due to the excessive eating, no physical activity or excessive sleeping. The results also showed that there was a significant positive relationship between perception of teasing and self-esteem and perception of teasing was a strong predictor of self-esteem among obese university students.

The main purpose of the study was to develop an indigenous tool to find out the level and nature of social skills in adolescents. Initially, a pool of 32 items was generated after interviewing 20 participants (both girls and boys). It was reduced later to 25 items excluding repetitions. These 25 items about social skills were administered on 20 new participants as a self-report measure on a 4-point rating scale. Moreover, one item considered ambiguous by participants was dropped and a final list of 24 items was given to 300 girls (50%) and boys (50%; M= 14.9 & SD= 1.07) along with Demographic Proforma and School Children Problem Scale (Saleem & Mahmood, 2011). The sample for the study was selected from government schools using stratified random sampling technique. Exploratory factor analysis revealed three factor solutions which were labelled according to their emerging themes like Getting Along Skills, Social Attributes and the Friendship Skills. The inter scale correlation ranged between (r=.66-.86) and alpha co-efficient showed high reliability (α .80). The tool can be used by school psychologists in assessing and training children with social skills deficits.

Interpersonal relationships are a very important part of the university life of a person. To explore the relationship between interpersonal difficulties and personality traits, a sample of 300 students in the age range of 18-28 years (M=22.04) was taken from different government and private universities. To measure the Machiavellian Personality Tendencies among students an indigenous tool was developed rooted inthe Pakistani culture. Interpersonal Difficulties Scale (Saleem, Ihsan, & Mahmood, 2014) was used. It was revealed that students with high Machiavellian Personality Tendencies have more interpersonal difficulties and Machiavellian Personality Tendencies, gender, family system and birth order are significant predictors of interpersonal difficulties in university students. These results are discussed in the Pakistani cultural context and their implications are stated for future research and therapeutic work.

Published: September 2020

The study was conducted to investigate the opinion of truants about their teachers, their academic achievement and their reasons for skipping classes. It also investigated gender differences among truants in terms of their opinion about their teachers. Purposive sampling technique was used to draw a sample of 30 truants with an equal number of boys and girls. Traunts were identified by their respective teachers. The Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (1965) form C was used to measure the opinion of truants about their teachers. One sample t test was used to analyze the data. The results indicated that truants carry a bad opinion about their teachers. They also indicated that truants have an average academic achievement. However, the study indicated no significant gender differences among truants in terms of their opinion about their teachers. Furthermore, the findings indicated that the teachers’ boring teaching style is the most frequently reported reason for skipping classes. Truants need counseling to change their perceptions regarding their teachers’ attitude as they believe that teachers exercise their authority too much and they give a hard time to students. The study can be beneficial for teachers, parents and educationists as it highlights the reasons behind truancy, opinions of truants about their teachers, their academic achievements and the need for counseling to modify their perceptions about their teachers.
