Mind the gap: Sex, gender, and intersectionality in military-to-civilian transitions
Authors: Eichler Maya , Smith-Evans Kimberley , Spanner Leigh , Tam-Seto Linna
Published: August 2021

LAY SUMMARY

The authors conducted a review of existing research on sex, gender, and intersectionality in relation to military-to-civilian transition (MCT). Extensive international studies and government resources, mostly from the United States, provide insight into the potential vulnerabilities and challenges encountered by historically under-represented military members and Veterans during MCT (i.e., by women, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and other sexual or gender minority, Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour military service members and Veterans). The reviewed sources also highlight government initiatives and tailored programs that exist internationally to address diverse Veteran needs. Canadian research and government initiatives on the topic are limited, and this gap needs to be kept in mind. To support equitable transition outcomes for all Veterans, research as well as policies, programs, and supports need to pay attention to sex and gender as well as intersecting factors such as sexuality, race, Indigeneity, and more.

Published: August 2021

La lumbalgia es un síntoma muy frecuente en la atención primaria, tanto en consulta externa como en el servicio de emergencias. Puede tener muchas causas, desde leves hasta severas. Sin embargo, en el 90% de los casos no se logrará encontrar una causa específica del dolor, esto se llamará lumbalgia mecánica.

Para un adecuado diagnóstico de la lumbalgia, se requiere de una anamnesis y un examen físico exhaustivo, esto nos ayudará a encontrar la etiología, descartar Banderas Rojas y dar un adecuado manejo.

El manejo de la lumbalgia mecánica se centrará en mejorar el dolor y la calidad de vida del paciente, también en disminuir los gastos en los servicios de salud. Para lograr esto el paciente se debe de proponer realizar ejercicios de estiramiento y fortalecimiento en el hogar, tomar el medicamento indicado y mantener una adecuada dieta y rutina de ejercicios. La labor del médico es tratar de impedir que la lumbalgia aguda evolucione a crónica, esto se logra con actividad física, evitando el reposo en cama, no suspendiendo labores, permaneciendo activo, descartando “banderas amarillas” y sobre todo no realizar estudios médicos innecesarios.

Published: August 2021

This study analyzes the effect of intellectual capital (IC) efficiency on firm value and financial performance indicators for companies in Islamic countries. Sample consists of 1,681 firms from eleven Islamic countries, covering eight years between 2010 and 2017. We use value-added intellectual capital (VAIC) methodology and run OLS regressions with panel data. Findings reveal that IC positively affects firm profitability and liquidity, and negatively affects leverage. Furthermore, both IC and the components of IC positively affect firm value. Lastly, Shariah-compliance has a positive impact on firm value, profitability and liquidity and a negative impact on leverage. This is the first study to analyze the effect of IC efficiency on firm value and on financial performance aspects for a very broad sample covering 11 Islamic countries at the same time. Last, this is the first study to investigate the effect of Shariah-compliance on value and financial performance attributes of firms in Islamic countries.

Authors: Luzzi Sabino , Giotta Lucifero Alice , Martinelli Andrea , Maestro Mattia Del , Savioli Gabriele , Simoncelli Anna , Lafe Elvis , Preda Lorenzo , Galzio Renato
Published: August 2021

OBJECTIVE

The theoretical advantages of augmented reality (AR) with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)–based high-definition fiber tractography (HDFT) and sodium fluorescein (F) in high-grade glioma (HGG) surgery have not been investigated in detail. In this study, the authors aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy profiles of HDFT-F microscope-based AR cytoreductive surgery for newly diagnosed supratentorial HGGs.

METHODS

Data of patients with newly diagnosed supratentorial HGGs who underwent surgery using the AR HDFT-F technique were reviewed and compared with those of a cohort of patients who underwent conventional white-light surgery assisted by infrared neuronavigation. The safety and efficacy of the techniques were reported based on the postoperative Neurological Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (NANO) scores, extent of resection (EOR), and Kaplan-Meier curves, respectively. The chi-square test was conducted for categorical variables. A p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

RESULTS

A total of 54 patients underwent surgery using the AR HDFT-F technique, and 63 underwent conventional white-light surgery assisted by infrared neuronavigation. The mean postoperative NANO scores were 3.8 ± 2 and 5.2 ± 4 in the AR HDFT-F group and control group, respectively (p < 0.05). The EOR was higher in the AR HDFT-F group (p < 0.05) than in the control group. With a mean follow-up of 12.2 months, the rate of progression-free survival (PFS) was longer in the study group (log-rank test, p = 0.006) than in the control group. Moreover, the complication rates were 9.2% and 9.5% in the study and control groups, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

Overall, AR HDFT-F–assisted surgery is safe and effective in maximizing the EOR and PFS rate for patients with newly diagnosed supratentorial HGGs, and in optimizing patient functional outcomes.
First in-human report of the clinical accuracy of thoracolumbar percutaneous pedicle screw placement using augmented reality guidance
Authors: Yahanda Alexander T. , Moore Emelia , Ray Wilson Z. , Pennicooke Brenton , Jennings Jack W. , Molina Camilo A.
Published: August 2021

OBJECTIVE

Augmented reality (AR) is an emerging technology that has great potential for guiding the safe and accurate placement of spinal hardware, including percutaneous pedicle screws. The goal of this study was to assess the accuracy of 63 percutaneous pedicle screws placed at a single institution using an AR head-mounted display (ARHMD) system.

METHODS

Retrospective analyses were performed for 9 patients who underwent thoracic and/or lumbar percutaneous pedicle screw placement guided by ARHMD technology. Clinical accuracy was assessed via the Gertzbein-Robbins scale by the authors and by an independent musculoskeletal radiologist. Thoracic pedicle subanalysis was also performed to assess screw accuracy based on pedicle morphology.

RESULTS

Nine patients received thoracic or lumbar AR-guided percutaneous pedicle screws. The mean age at the time of surgery was 71.9 ± 11.5 years and the mean number of screws per patient was 7. Indications for surgery were spinal tumors (n = 4, 44.4%), degenerative disease (n = 3, 33.3%), spinal deformity (n = 1, 11.1%), and a combination of deformity and infection (n = 1, 11.1%). Presenting symptoms were most commonly low-back pain (n = 7, 77.8%) and lower-extremity weakness (n = 5, 55.6%), followed by radicular lower-extremity pain, loss of lower-extremity sensation, or incontinence/urinary retention (n = 3 each, 33.3%). In all, 63 screws were placed (32 thoracic, 31 lumbar). The accuracy for these screws was 100% overall; all screws were Gertzbein-Robbins grade A or B (96.8% grade A, 3.2% grade B). This accuracy was achieved in the thoracic spine regardless of pedicle cancellous bone morphology.

CONCLUSIONS

AR-guided surgery demonstrated a 100% accuracy rate for the insertion of 63 percutaneous pedicle screws in 9 patients (100% rate of Gertzbein-Robbins grade A or B screw placement). Using an ARHMS system for the placement of percutaneous pedicle screws showed promise, but further validation using a larger cohort of patients across multiple surgeons and institutions will help to determine the true accuracy enabled by this technology.

Published: August 2021

Introduction: Transurethral resection of the prostate requires a catheter in situ post-surgery. Early removal of catheter can reduce the length of hospital stay reducing the healthcare cost. It can also reduce the risk of infection due to prolonged catheterization. Our aim was to determine the median duration of hospital stay after early foley’s removal after transurethral resection of prostate among patients in a tertiary care hospital.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was done in a tertiary care hospital from July 2019 to December 2020 and ethical clearance was obtained from the institutional review committee. Foley’s catheter were removed on the first post-operative day, who met the criteria of catheter removal. Convenience sampling was done. After foley’s removal patients were observed for spontaneous voiding. Patients with complications like hematuria, clot retention, urinary retention were recatherized. The data were expressed in mean with standard deviation, median with interquartile range and frequency and percentage as applicable using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 16.
Results: Out of the 150 participants included in the study, the median duration of hospital stay after the early removal of foley's catheter was 3 days (interquartile range 2-4 days). A total of 20 (13.3%) patients underwent recatherization. Nine (6%) patients had to be recatheterized due to clot retention, and 11 (7.3%) were due to urinary retention.
Conclusions: This study showed that the median duration of hospital stay after early removal of foley's catheter among patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate was similar to studies done in national/international settings.
Vulnerability and intervention opportunities: Research findings on youth and HIV/AIDS in South Africa
Authors:   Population Council
Published: August 2021

The Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund (NMCF) seeks comprehensive local solutions to address the negative effects of HIV/AIDS on children, adolescents, households, and communities. To this end, NMCF initiated the Goelama Project, which uses a community mobilization strategy to catalyze action by local organizations and government bodies to prevent HIV infection and mitigate the socioeconomic impacts of the disease, particularly as they affect orphans and vulnerable children (OVC). This brief highlights key findings from an assessment of reproductive and sexual health knowledge and behaviors among nearly 5,000 youth from eight districts in three provinces in South Africa where the Goelama Project is active: Mpumalanga, Limpopo, and KwaZulu Natal. This research is part of a larger study of 29,000 members of nearly 5,000 households that seeks to identify ways that government and communities can strengthen the socioeconomic capacity of households to care for and support OVC. The youth component focuses on the sexual and reproductive behaviors of young people in the Goelama intervention areas and factors that may influence these behaviors, such as schooling, orphanhood, knowledge, and involvement in community activities.
The role of incentives in encouraging workplace HIV/AIDS policies and programs
Authors:   Population Council
Published: August 2021

This brief examines the role of incentives in encouraging companies in Thailand to adopt workplace policies and programs that address AIDS-related stigma and discrimination and respond to the needs of workers for information and services. The research was a collaboration between the Horizons Program, American International Assurance (AIA), the Thailand Business Coalition on AIDS (TBCA), and AusAID. After the initiative was launched (known as the AIDS-response Standard Organization), TBCA staff built relationships with company managers to explain and promote the advantages of joining. Companies agreeing to implement at least three HIV/AIDS workplace policies would receive a reduction of 5–10 percent off group life insurance premiums from AIA, Thailand’s largest insurance provider, if they were AIA clients. As the initiative evolved, TBCA introduced the additional incentive of a certificate endorsed by the government and awarded at a high-profile public ceremony. For each company agreeing to participate, TBCA offered assistance to enhance their activities, including providing educational leaflets, videos, and a mobile exhibition, as well as condoms, peer education training, counseling and referrals to support groups for HIV-positive employees, and assistance with writing company HIV/AIDS policies.

Ishraq: Safe spaces to learn, play and grow: Expansion of recreational sports program for adolescent rural girls in Egypt
Authors: Zibani Nadia
Published: August 2021

Over the past three years, the Ishraq program in the villages of northern El-Minya, Egypt, grew from a novel idea into a vibrant reality. In the process, approximately 300 rural girls have participated in a life-transforming chance to learn, play, and grow into productive members of their local communities. Currently other villages—and soon other governorates—are joining the Ishraq network. Ishraq is a mixture of literacy, life-skills training, and—for girls who have been sheltered in domestic situations of poverty and isolation—a chance to play sports and games with other girls their age and develop a sense of self-worth and mastery; the program reinforces the lessons they receive in life-skills classes about hygiene, nutrition, and healthy living. This guide to the sports and games component of the program is geared to the needs of disadvantaged adolescent girls. It is intended for those in the development community interested in the potential of sports to enhance the overall impact of adolescent programs. Sports can be combined with other program components to give girls a more active experience, whether the primary focus is reproductive health, literacy, or livelihood skills.

Published: August 2021

The emergence of a "new economy", which is principally driven by developments in information technology and science, has also sparked a growing interest in intellectual capital. One area that has attracted the attention of both academics and practitioners is the use of IC as an instrument to determine company value. management and reporting systems that have been established so far have continually lost their relevance because they are unable to provide essential information for executives to manage knowledge-based processes. Reporting on intellectual capital owned will be an added value for a company. So that reporting on intellectual capital will have an impact on improving financial performance. The implementation of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) is one of the governance systems considered to be able to provide changes for the company, so that the implementation of GCG is expected to have an impact on the wider disclosure of intellectual capital owned by a company and will have an impact on the better company performance. This research was conducted using a sample of manufacturing companies listed on the Jakarta Stock Exchange with a three-year research period, 2017 to 2019, with a sample size of 65 manufacturing companies and in analyzing the existing data, the SmartPLS tool was used. The results showed that the Intellectual Capital variable had a positive and significant influence on the company's financial performance variable, and the Good Corporate Governance variable did not have the effect to mediate the relationship between the Intellectual Capital variable and the Financial Performance variable.

Wild Blue: The Post-World War Two Ocean Frontier and its Legacy for Law of the Sea
Authors: Rozwadowski Helen M.
Published: August 2021

The post-1945 ocean came to be viewed through the cultural prism of 'frontier', denoting both a bonanza of resources and also lawlessness that impeded secure investment in their exploitation. After Arvid Pardo inserted the cultural representation of ocean frontier into law of the sea discussions with his 1967 proposal of the ocean as the Common Heritage of (Hu)Mankind, the prospect of using hitherto unexploited ocean resources to equalise an unequal world was widely, if not universally, embraced. While many commentators deny the power of the ocean frontier representation, this paper argues that, even as environmental concerns about pollution and declining resources aligned with worries about global overpopulation, the ocean continued, during the protracted negotiations of the third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea beginning in 1973, to be viewed as full of resources. The historical context of decolonisation and Garrett Hardin's 1968 Tragedy of the Commons argument reframed the ocean into a site for competition over resources.
Nomadic learners : an investigation of perceived affordances across formal and informal learning environments
Authors:   , Frisz-Conlon Amy M.
Published: August 2021

Learning environments play a critical role in learning outcomes. This ethnographic case study investigates adolescent students' use of formal and informal learning environments and their self-regulated learning and technology use in these spaces. The researcher has been immersed at this public high school research site as a school faculty member for over eight years. Data in the form of observations, interviews, cognitive maps, and photovoice blogs were collected from sixteen students and teachers over one year between 2018 and 2019. This research was collected in a technology corridor of the American southeast growing at an extremely rapid pace. Many new schools are being constructed to keep up with the severe population growth. The conceptual framework involves spatial preference and technology use related to self-regulated learning. Affordance theory buttresses the investigation. Research questions were What are students' spatial preferences in informal and formal learning environments? What are students' self-perceptions of learning in formal and informal learning environments? What are students' use of technology in informal and formal learning environments? Key findings offer a deeper understanding of adolescent use of formal and informal learning environments inside and outside of school settings. The design of the school building, as well as a myriad of residential environments, were investigated. Findings include types of spaces that manifested in both formal and informal learning environments. These types are gathering spaces, comfort spaces, evolving spaces, spaces to thrive and technologically splintered spaces. This work's knowledge contributions include a clearer understanding of adolescent use patterns across formal and informal learning environments. The implications of this study are the development of guidelines on adolescent self-regulated learning practices and technology related to the built environment. Theoretical contributions of this work include an extension of affordance theory and a greater understanding of how adolescents perform in learning behavior settings.
A qualitative case study of Spelman College's students' attitude toward Spelman College's transgender admissions and enrollment policy and its transgender and gender non-conforming students
Authors:   , Hildreth Brandon M.
Published: August 2021

This qualitative case study examined 10 Spelman College's students' attitude toward its new transgender admissions and enrollment policy, as well as their attitudes toward Spelman's transgender and gender non-conforming students. This study was guided by Allport's (1935) Tricomponent Attitude Model and intersectionality theories, which was used to analyze their attitudes toward the policy and its students. Interviews were conducted and coded using six predetermined codes that were informed by the two research questions and the theoretical frameworks. This study found that most participants supported the policy; however, one participant that felt indifferent and another opposed it. Despite the participants' overwhelming support of the policy, many felt that the lack of understanding of the policy among students might fuel intolerance or opposition. Although participants felt that Spelman's policy was a step towards trans-inclusion, many questioned Spelman's readiness to welcome and support transgender and gender non-conforming students on its campus. Despite participants' overwhelming support for transgender and gender non-conforming students, many had concerns that students' intersectional identities regarding race, gender, religion, and geographical upbringing, coupled with Spelman's ties to Christianity, may create unwelcoming and hostile environments for transgender and gender non-conforming students.
Three essays on crime policy and the Bayesian bootstrap
Authors:   , Hofmann Lonnie
Published: August 2021

This dissertation consists of three chapters. In the first chapter, I analyze credible intervals for quantiles constructed using Bayesian bootstrap techniques and show that credible intervals constructed using the "continuity-corrected" Bayesian bootstrap (Banks, 1988) have frequentist coverage probability error of only O(n [superscript -1]). In addition, I show that these "continuity-corrected" Bayesian bootstrap credible intervals achieve the same frequentist coverage probability as the frequentist confidence intervals of Goldman and Kaplan (2017), up to some error term of magnitude O(n [superscript -1]). Furthermore, I demonstrate that credible intervals constructed using the "continuity-corrected" Bayesian bootstrap have less frequentist coverage probability error than those constructed using the Bayesian bootstrap (Rubin, 1981). In the second chapter, I investigate three strikes laws, which mandate sharply increased sentences for criminals who commit a specific number of felonies. Specifically, I analyze the effect of these laws on violent crime rates using municipal-level data from the FBI. I compare violent crime rates of border municipalities in states with differing treatment statuses using a difference-in-differences specification with a sample matched on pre-treatment outcomes. I find no statistical evidence that three strikes laws reduce violent crime rates. I rule out reductions in violent crime rates greater than 1.3 [percent] and reject the hypothesis that three strikes laws reduce violent crime rates at the 5 [percent] significance level. Additional analyses and robustness checks support my main findings. In the third chapter, I examine medical marijuana laws (MMLs), which legalize the use, possession, and cultivation of marijuana by individuals with qualifying medical conditions. Namely, I employ municipal-level data from the FBI to analyze the effect of MMLs on violent crime rates. I compare municipalities in border regions with different treatments statuses using a difference-in-differences specification with a sample matched on pre-treatment outcomes. I find a lack of evidence for MMLs increasing violent crime rates, but I cannot eliminate the possibility of small-to-medium positive effects. However, I rule out increases in violent crime rates greater than 9.9 [percent] and reject the hypothesis that MMLs increase violent crime at the 10 [percent] significance level.
Teacher preparation impacts in regard to physiological stress of preservice educators within agricultural mechanics project construction

The purpose of this study was to identify how the differences in teacher preparation impact the physiological stress teachers and teaching quality students experience within the agricultural mechanics laboratory setting, specifically when related to project construction. One specific responsibility of agricultural educators is teaching project construction in the agricultural mechanics laboratory. Teachers have reported perceived stress in teaching agricultural mechanics, but no studies to date have measured the physiological stress response when teaching mechanics. For this agricultural mechanics methods course, university instructors enlisted students to serve as teacher for a day to simulate the process of teaching project construction. Researchers utilized a nonequivalent control group design to determine how a treatment of university supervisors modeling the project construction with students before they taught as teacher for day would impact teaching and stress outcomes. The control group did not build the project ahead of time, as has been the practice of the course in the past. The researcher utilized four instruments to measure physiological stress, learning environment, assessment, teaching delivery and perceived comfort of the teacher. The target population for this study was preservice agricultural educators at the University of Missouri. The accessible population consisted of preservice educators for the Fall of 2017 semester (n=16). Heart monitor data indicated all teachers were stressed throughout their teaching on day 1 and day 2. Despite their stress, the teachers were effective as rated by their students. The treatment group was less stressed on day 2 than day 1, indicating the treatment was effective at assisting teachers once the actual project construction began. The study provides biological evidence supporting the stressful nature of teaching agricultural mechanics. Researchers were able to recreate the stress of agricultural mechanics teaching through a simulated activity. Researchers conclude the treatment of pre-project modeling reduced the stress and increase the teaching performance of preservice teachers by modeling the laboratory activity prior to teaching.
Solidarity infrastructure : gender and race solidarity and cross-class coalitions in the Kansas City general strike of 1918
Authors:   , Stilley Jeff
Published: August 2021

This dissertation investigates alliances across gender, race, and class in the dynamics of working class solidarity. The analysis examines the geographically bounded organizational networks, community spatial organization, and political cultures in Kansas City that resulted in a general strike in 1918. The general strike is historically unexpected because it occurred in sympathy with low-wage white and Black women with the support of white union men and middle-class clubwomen. The research is motivated by the following research questions: How do we explain unexpected coalitions across class, gender, and race in Kansas City from 1910 to 1918? What collective action processes and unique historical conditions explain the militancy and solidarity exhibited during this time period? Drawing on theories from social movements and political sociology, I do a longitudinal historical analysis and process tracing to answer the research questions. The data suggest that a temporally and geographically based meso-level network, what I call a "solidarity infrastructure," helps explain unusual working class solidarity across gender, race, and class. A solidarity infrastructure is a set of formal and informal links with the support of Euro American men and middle-class women across movements, which articulate and coordinate a cross-class contentious front, mobilizing support of working class formation and solidarity. The concept speaks to why some locations in specific times exhibit inclusive collective action, a theoretical problem not adequately answered in the dynamics of solidarity literature.
Essays in policy evaluation and labor economics

This dissertation contains three chapters. The first chapter evaluates the effect of a gun control act in California. State legislators in the U.S. are striving to curb gun violence. A common approach is to extend the existing firearms ban list. This paper examines the effect of legislation restricting sales of selected firearms in California using the synthetic control method. This case study method forms a synthetic unit using a linear combination of other states in the U.S. as the control group. The results show substantial increases in firearm sales in California from the point of passage until the law becomes effective. After the surge ends when the law becomes effective, the sale of firearms is only moderately affected thereafter. This paper also creates robustness checks to confirm that the synthetic control method is working properly with low firearm density in California, which calls into question some of the assumptions underlying the synthetic control method. The Difference-in-Difference regression reaches the same conclusion. The second chapter focuses on immigrant assimilation in the U.S. Assimilation is the process in which immigrants improve earnings as they become more adapted to the host country society. Cross-sectional studies show that immigrants have lower earnings upon arrival and faster earnings growth compared to natives. Longitudinal studies conclude that estimates based on cross-sectional data are positively biased due to decreasing cohort quality and negatively selected outmigration. I reproduce such estimates with recent U.S. data. The estimates would appear to show "bias," as inclusion of cohort fixed effects alter estimates. However, in contrast to expectations based on the current literature, decreasing cohort quality and outmigration do not explain the difference. Next, I apply a non-parametric method to make the wage distributions visually comparable across cohorts and time. I find that the linear specification of assimilation is misleading. Finally, I revisit the classic model with a quadratic assimilation term and expand it to explore the assimilation process's heterogeneity. I find that the "bias" disappears with a quadratic assimilation effect. The assimilation effect is sensitive to age at arrival and country of origin. The third chapter considers an unexplained puzzle in one of the most widely used public datasets in the U.S. The American Community Survey (ACS) replaced the Decennial Census as the primary data source for identifying immigrants' socioeconomic characteristics. This paper focuses on cohort analysis, in which a cohort combines immigrants arriving in a given year from surveys in multiple years. Tracking the sizes of cohorts from 2006 to 2019 using the ACS, we observe an abnormal increase in cohort size in the 10th and 20th years since arrival. Two hypotheses are tested, population estimate structural break and the renewal of green card. Neither appears to explain the puzzle.

This research focused on how Tempo editors apply the principles of independence, maintain credibility, and maintain the integrity of journalists as a media business strategy in the digital age. It is no secret that in the media newsroom there are often conflicts, namely the pull between business interests and editorial attitudes. The opposition heats up as newsroom authorities deal with marketing, advertising sections, business development sections, as well as shareholders in news products. The purpose of this study is to see how the negotiation process and compromise the interests of it. At the end of the day, there are those who win and lose. Research using qualitative method with descriptive approach. In describing the findings, researchers will use inductive theory as a tool of hypothesis, observation, and analysis of Tempo practices applying independence in the influence of political economy structure. The researchers' findings state that in maintaining integrity as an effort to uphold the independence of Tempo is not easy to intervene by anyone when making a report on journalistic products.

The background of this research is an effort to participate in education in eradicating corrupt behavior. In this effort, it is necessary to inculcate anti-corruption values that are integrated into existing subjects, so that they are not burdensome to emerge new subjects. Furthermore, to provide this education, an effective learning process is needed by using the right communication process so that the cultivation of anti-corruption values can be implemented optimally. This study aims to reveal the anti-corruption values contained in Islamic Education textbooks and then provide an overview of how to build effective communication to be used in learning. This research is a library research with student textbooks as the object of study. The results showed: the values of anti-corruption education contained in the textbook of Islamic Religious Education and Character are the values of honesty, caring, independence, discipline, responsibility, hard work, simplicity, courage, and justice. Effective communication occurs when paying attention to at least five things: clarity of material, accuracy of language use, material context, communication flow, and the environmental culture of students.
