The Role of Iron in the Pathogenesis of Atherosclerosis
Authors: KRAML P.
Published: January 2020

Ferritin and increased iron stores first appeared on the list of cardiovascular risk factors more than 30 years ago and their causal role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis has been heavily discussed since the early 1990s. It seems that besides traditional factors such as hyperlipoproteinemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, physical inactivity, smoking and family history, high iron stores represent an additional parameter that could modify individual cardiovascular risk. The role of iron in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis was originally primarily associated with its ability to catalyze the formation of highly reactive free oxygen radicals and the oxidation of atherogenic lipoproteins. Later, it became clear that the mechanism is more complex. Atherosclerosis is a chronic fibroproliferative inflammatory process and iron, through increased oxidation stress as well as directly, can control both native and adaptive immune responses. Within the arterial wall, iron affects all of the cell types that participate in the atherosclerotic process (monocytes/macrophages, endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells and platelets). Most intracellular iron is bound in ferritin, whereas redox-active iron forms labile iron pool. Pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory macrophages within arterial plaque differ with regard to the amount of intracellular iron and most probably with regard to their labile iron pool. Yet, the relation between plasma ferritin and intracellular labile iron pool has not been fully clarified. Data from population studies document that the consumption of meat and lack of physical activity contribute to increased iron stores. Patients with hereditary hemochromatosis, despite extreme iron storage, do not show increased manifestation of atherosclerosis probably due to the low expression of hepcidin in macrophages.

Published: January 2020

La presente investigación muestra los resultados de la investigación desarrollada, cuyo objetivo fue diseñar un modelo de gestión del conocimiento para el PNAEQW de Huánuco. El desarrollo de la investigación estuvo dividido en dos fases: la primera cualitativa, que nos permitió desarrollar el modelo conceptual propuesto y la segunda cuantitativa, que nos permitió confirmar empíricamente el modelo conceptual. Se analizó a través de estudio de casos a tres áreas del PNAEQW con entrevistas semiestructuradas dirigidas a los jefes de dichas áreas, también mediante la observación directa y documentación del PNAEQW. Se exploró empíricamente el modo que los trabajadores gestionan conocimiento y mediante ello se desarrolló el modelo constituido por tres fases: la generación, transferencia e integración del conocimiento. El modelo conceptual obtenido se contrastó empíricamente utilizando una población de 19 colaboradores de diferentes áreas, se aplicó la prueba estadística Chi cuadrado para verificar los elementos organizativos e individuales del proceso de gestión del conocimiento. Los resultados muestran que la gestión del conocimiento depende de los trabajadores, de su cultura organizacional y estilo directivo; la transferencia del conocimiento depende de una cultura organizacional abierta y receptiva y un estilo directivo que genere participación hacia la integración del conocimiento que fomente una cultura organizacional propiciadora de la asimilación del conocimiento en los colaboradores.
El insigth y el posicionamiento en empresas distribuidoras de productos de consumo masivo en Huánuco
Authors: Céspedes-Galarza Quintidiano N. , Rivero-Lazo Mélida S. , García-Céspedes Juan
Published: January 2020

El insigth como perspectiva empresarial, son aspectos no tangibles de la forma en que el consumidor piensa, siente o hay en su mente sobre la marca de productos. El objetivo de la investigación fue conocer la incidencia del insight intelectual, emocional y estructural en el posicionamiento de los productos de consumo masivo que distribuyen las empresas en la provincia de Huánuco. Se utilizaron el método inductivo y deductivo, en el estudio de las dimensiones del insight: estructural, intelectual y emocional; el método analítico permitió tener una visión global de la incidencia del insight en el posicionamiento de los productos y el método estadístico para el procesamiento, análisis e interpretación de resultados presentados en tablas. Demostrándose antes (preprueba) de la aplicación de los fundamentos teóricos, doctrinales y prácticos del insight, que las empresas comercializadoras no tenían conocimiento y preocupación en saber lo que el cliente pensaba de los productos, tampoco la parte estructural de los mismos; al aplicar el tratamiento experimental (posprueba), en la comercialización de productos como: lácteos,  abarrotes y conservas se evidenció un mejoramiento en lo cognitivo, emocional y estructural de los productos, y mejoró significativamente su posicionamiento. Concluyendo que en las empresas distribuidoras de productos no había innovación en la oferta diversificada de productos; en estrategias de comercialización y no utilizaban el branding para construir una marca definida lo que generó un bajo posicionamiento de productos en el mercado.
Using Reflection to Activate Data Literacy: Teaching Data Literacy in Undergraduate International Relations Courses
Authors: Rathbun Nina , Bozovic Iva
Published: January 2020

We evaluated the impact of experiential assignments using data on improving students’ abilities to avoid common misconceptions of data using a specific assessment tool we created. We randomly assigned students into pre- and some post- experiential data assignment test groups to gauge the impact of the different assignments on assisting students to overcome common data literacy problems. In each project, students were required to find and use data in their research to support their arguments on an assigned topic. In one project, students also reflected on the data used by both sides of an argument in the assigned topic. We found that the reflection requirement had a statistically significant effect on engaging students’ critical thinking skills for avoiding common misinterpretations of data. We believe that this finding demonstrates the large impact of reflection in building and engaging critical thinking skills necessary for data literacy in the modern age.
Feedback Loop: Reflections from a Peer Review-Intensive Seminar
Authors: Brown Colin
Published: January 2020

In this teaching paper, the author reviews the teaching and learning literature on student peer review in higher education to generate a list of best practices, as well as a list of accessible and immediate research questions. The author then reflects on their experience implementing these in the form of a peer review-intensive senior capstone seminar in the Spring of 2019. While the course received high evaluations and allowed students to generate a useful writing portfolio, finding evidence of the effectiveness of extensive peer review remains difficult and uncertain. The paper includes a number of templates and options for building an extensive peer review process into upper-level political science courses, and discusses the trade-offs experienced in scheduling class time for peer review and teaching students how to give (and receive) effective comments on each other’s work.
Playing Poker with Hobbes, Kant and Anderson
Authors: Asal Victor , Kollars Nina , rosen amanda , Usherwood Simon
Published: January 2020

Abstract: There has been previous work that has shown that games based on playing cards can be an effective way of demonstrating to students the logic of Hobbes realist view of the world and the impact of anarchy individually and at the international level in a visceral fashion. This paper builds from this model and develops several approaches that use a similar game format to teach students about different approaches to international relations, specifically realism, liberalism, and constructivism. By changing the rules of the game and allowing for different interactions, students learn to question the deeper theoretical foundations that unify and divide perspectives across the discipline. The paper will specifically address dynamics of liberal institutionalism, collective security and the possible role that identity can play in security choices.
IDENTIFICATION OF BASIC HEALTH INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE AT HIGH SCHOOLS IN SWAT RURAL AREAS (A WAY TOWARD VEBH MODEL IMPLEMENTATION)
Authors: Rahman Habib Ur
Published: January 2020

Common diseases mostly occur due to lack of basic health information and knowledge to public at large. Therefore, basic health information and knowledge is very much important to reduce the outbreaks of different diseases especially in rural communities which is possible through proper education. Education is a natural and an inborn part of any community or society. High quality and healthy volunteers can be generated in a society by right education with full support of any kind of facility.The objective of this paper is to gather and identify information and knowledge about basic health from students and teachers. In this paper, first we study current basic health (information & knowledge) situation of teachers and students in high schools of District Swat (70% mountain rural areas and 30% urban areas), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan. Secondly, find out the willingness of high school teachers and students for basic health information and knowledge using information communication technology (ICT) i.e. through a proposed “Virtual Education for Basic Health (VEBH)” model at high school level. For this purpose a pilot research survey was conducted in seven tehsils of district Swat which contained 119 high schools, including 77 male high schools and 42 female high schools.The respondents are willing to learn basic health information and knowledge through virtual and commented that it will be better for rural mountainous areas of Swat especially for female health. VEBH model will make the students aware about common diseases and ensure future healthy society.

La La Gran Moral
Authors: Andrés Gómez Rodas Carlos , Gabriel Castellanos Muñoz Arjuna , Rafael Amaya de Armas Tulio
Published: January 2020

En el mundo académico contemporáneo han venido tomando fuerza, desde hace varias décadas, los temas de la interdisciplinariedad y la transdisciplinariedad, como respuesta de un sector de la comunidad científica a los problemas de la especialización y a la desconexión entre las ciencias. Como todo elemento o aspecto de la realidad, este tema requiere de una debida fundamentación filosófica que se encuentra en el pensamiento clásico. En el presente artículo se intenta mostrar la relación entre la tradición de la filosofía perenne y este fundamento, atendiendo, sobre todo, a la importancia de la mirada holística del fenómeno ético y pretendiendo sustentar que el diálogo entre las ciencias solo es posible rescatando el paradigma metafísico legado por los griegos a la civilización occidental y defendido por MacIntyre en su libro Ethics in the Conflicts of Modernity. An Essay on Desire, Practical Reasoning, and Narrative (University of Cambridge, 2016)

The Place of the Natural Law
Authors: Paár Tamás
Published: January 2020

The purpose of this paper is to scrutinize the precepts of the natural law and, in particular, their metaphysical and epistemic relationship to human nature, rationality, theology, tradition and practices. My account of the natural law is based on Alasdair MacIntyre’s approach, however, since his claims regarding the dependence or independence of the natural law from the notions listed above might often seem ambiguous, I engage in a reconstruction both of how it is most plausible to read MacIntyre’s claims concerning this topic, and how it is most plausible to conceive the natural law.

MacIntyre basically argues that we can conceive the precepts of the natural law as the precepts of rational enquiry that we need to pursue in order to overcome the one-sidedness of our beliefs. I take this line of argument for his account of the natural law successful and ask the question what place the established norms have. As MacIntyre argues that all standpoints imply at least an implicit, even if not explicit, adherence to the authority of the natural law in virtue of their claim to truth, I argue that regardless of the exact content of our practices and beliefs regarding human nature, traditions and religion, we could know the basic requirements of the natural law. This is true even if the natural law itself is metaphysically dependent on human nature or on God. However, certain practices and beliefs can either shed more light or obscure the precepts of the natural law, hence it is important to learn from various traditions, religions, practices in a shared enquiry whose norms aspire to follow the actual precepts of the natural law as closely as possible.

Fraudulent Financial Reporting: A Fraud Pentagon Analysis
Authors: Nanda Satria Tri , Zenita Raisya , Salmiah Neneng
Published: January 2020

Objective – The massive and broad impact caused by fraud has made it widely discussed by researchers. Several theories have been developed to explain the cause of fraud. The most recent theory that attempts to explain fraud is pentagon fraud. This study attempts to explain the effect of pentagon fraud on the detection of financial statement fraud in 624 companies listed on the Indonesian stock exchange. Methodology/Technique – Data from financial statements published in 2018 were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. Findings – The results of data analysis using E-Views have proven that Pressure, Opportunity, Arrogance and Rationalization have a negative effect on fraudulent financial reporting. However, competence is known to have no significant effect on fraudulent financial reporting. Novelty – The results suggest that human factors such as pressure, arrogance and rationalization encourage fraudsters to produce fraudulent financial reports. These findings imply that human factors such as pressure arrogance and rationalization are important to be considered in designing any anti-fraud strategy. Type of Paper: Empirical Keywords: Fraud Pentagon; Fraudulent Financial Report; Opportunity, Pressure. Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Nanda; S, T; Zenita R; Salmiah N; 2019.

The Influence of Growth, Asset Tangibility, Cost of Debt, Profitability and Business Risk On Debt Capital
Authors: Arilyn Erika Jimena , Beny Beny
Published: January 2020

Objective –The aims to identify the significant factors that influence a company’s decision to use debt capital.
Methodology/Technique – This study uses 5 independent variables namely; firm growth (growth rate in total gross assets), asset tangibility (ratio of net fixed assets to total assets), cost of debt (interest before tax / long term debt), profitability (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) / Total Asset), and business risk (standard deviation of EBIT to total assets). The dependent variable in this study, debt capital, is measured by the ratio of long-term debt to total assets. A purposive sampling method is used to select 11 out of 18 textile and garment companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange between 2014 and 2018 that report their annual financial positions. A quantitative method, panel data analysis technique and SPSS tools were also used in this study.
Findings – The results show that debt capital is influenced by profitability, while the remaining factors do not influence debt capital.
Novelty – This study adds to the existing literature on internal factors, market condition as an external factors, and debt capital in developed countries. The benefit of this study is to explore the potential capabilities of the industry in using its profit to minimize the use of debt as a source of capital to decrease business risk.

The Role of Customer-Centric, Cross-Functional Integration in Data Governance
Authors: Vojvodic Milomir , Velinov Emil
Published: January 2020

Objective - The paper sheds light on customer database dynamics, dimensions and characteristics of adapted benefits connected with their business potential in a circular economy. The study suggests that allocating funds on data compliance could bring added value to the companies in specific conditions linked to the processing of client data.

Methodology/Technique - This study examines the impact of a Customer-Centric approach in relation to Data Governance. The empirical part of the study is based on data gathered from middle and top level managers and owners of projects responsible for managing customer data in multinational enterprises across EMEA region. EU companies could use Data Protection legislation as a springboard, as their financial benefits are higher than the respective costs necessary to comply with. Thus, a perspective management practice investigates the following roles: cross-functional management and combining wide customer-centric units (marketing, sales, service, product), external client process integration, data governance engagement (there is a balance of the current expertise from the customer's data that is nested within functions and capacity to evaluate inter-functional influence of client data-driven management).

Finding - The paper outlines evidence of the effect of customer centricity on data governance in selected companies from emerging markets.

Type of Paper - Empirical

Keywords: Customer Centricity; Data Governance; Cross-functional Integration.

Published: January 2020

Textbook plays important role in teaching English. Yet, not all textbook is appropriately meet to the students’ needs and knowledge level. The material for EFL is totally different to Native speaker of English. One of the ways matching students’ needs and textbook is by doing textbook evaluation. This research is aimed at discussing textbooks that are used by the teacher in English Foreign Language (EFL).  The textbooks that have been chosen are English for Everyday English for Hospitality Professionals by Lawrence, J. Zwier and Nigel Caplan (2007) and English for Work (2003) by Ian Badger. Both of them are ESP textbooks where they are taught in a foreign language class. The purpose of this research is to know how much Everyday English for Hospitality Professionals and English for Work textbook used in college meets the criteria of good EFL textbook. The research design is a descriptive-evaluative. The procedure of analyzing the data starts by analyzing the data based on EFL evaluation criteria, then finding out how much each items meet the criteria of good EFL textbook and concluding the result. The research result revealed that most parts of the textbooks are appropriately met to the students’ needs. Most of the material stated inside of the textbooks covered students’ knowledge level and relevant for the field of study.

Enforcing Local Power Conservation for Metasurface Design Using Electromagnetic Inversion
Authors: Brown Trevor , Vahabzadeh Yousef , Caloz Christophe , Mojabi Puyan
Published: January 2020

A method based on electromagnetic inversion is extended to facilitate the design of passive, lossless, and reciprocal metasurfaces. More specifically, the inversion step is modified to ensure that the field transformation satisfies local power conservation, using available knowledge of the incident field. This paper formulates a novel cost functional to apply this additional constraint, and describes the optimization procedure used to find a solution that satisfies both the user-defined field specifications and local power conservation. Lastly, the method is demonstrated with a two-dimensional (2D) example.

Attraverso l'applicazione della metodologia Istat-Sforzi e le tecniche di Econometria Spaziale, il volume propone un ampio panorama di rappresentazione cartografiche delle destinazioni italiane ed elabora una proxi di analisi per misurare empiricamente le fonti di competitività di questi sistemi di impresa, concentrandosi in particolare sulla filiera turistica allargata e su reti di destinazioni.
Fare parchi urbani
Authors: Lambertini Anna
Published: January 2020

L'opera affronta il tema del progetto contemporaneo di parco urbano, interpretato come spazio etico ed estetico. Etico, nel senso proprio dell'etimo, cioè conforme al luogo, ed estetico, come spazio urbano soggetto a valutazioni qualitative e ambito di produzione di esperienza estetica in un ambiente reale animato dalla presenza della natura. Tracciando un percorso critico attraverso la storia dell'arte dei giardini e dei parchi e gli orientamenti attuali dell'architettura del paesaggio in Europa, si sostiene la tesi che l'etica del fare parchi implica sempre e comunque una riflessione su principi e valori estetici. La varietas della produzione attuale viene letta attraverso alcune originali chiavi di lettura: un quadro storico dei modelli etici ed estetici, la individuazione di specie di parchi, la definizione di categorie etiche/estetiche. La parte conclusiva propone un modus operandi che assume la dimensione narrativa come indirizzo progettuale. Il volume pubblica la tesi di dottorato che ha ricevuto il Premio speciale Grinzane Cavour – Giardini Hanbury nel 2006.

The article describes the model of complex rehabilitation of children treated for cancer, developed by specialists of the Research Clinical Rehabilitation Center "Russkoe Pole" Federal Research Clinical Center of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Immunology named after D.Rogachev. Two areas of assistance have been proposed: a retrospective based on identifying potential health risks posed by anamnestic events and a prospective one that reflects the identification of relevant factors related to health and social functioning, the impact on these factors and the tracking of future effects. Methods batteries are described that allow studying and influencing different aspects of the health-related quality of life of patients: physical, psychological and social functioning, as well as an algorithm for directed diagnostics of toxic effects.
«Comisario del Manu», cauchero y gamonal: Bernardo Perdiz
Authors: Paredes Pando Oscar
Published: January 2020

Durante las últimas décadas del siglo XIX y las primeras del siglo XX la Amazonia abasteció al mundo industrializado de gomas elásticas, caucho (Castilla elástica) y shiringa (Hevea Brasiliensis), y para aquellas explotaciones el capital mercantil impuso mecanismos desmonetizados a través del aviamiento o créditos. La mano de obra fue principalmente compuesta por indígenas a quienes se les sobre explotaba gratuitamente y, asimismo, fueron expulsados de sus tierras y trasladados inconsultamente de un lugar a otro, llegando a venderlos como si se tratase de mercancías. Algunas poblaciones étnicas reaccionaron, como ocurrió con los mashcos contra el patrón de origen español Bernardo Perdiz, quien se auto asignaba cierta autoridad de la cual carecía y aprovechando este sus relaciones dominantes para denunciarlos ante la justicia peruana y reclamar derechos, muy a pesar que se dedicaba a la trata de personas.
Inflammatory prognostic markers in endometrial carcinoma: Systemic immune-inflammation index and prognostic nutritional index
Authors: Mirili Cem , Bilici Mehmet
Published: January 2020

Objective: Systemic inflammatory response markers have prognostic significance in many cancer types. Although the prognostic values of neutrophil/lymphocyte (NLR), and platelet/lymphocyte ratios (PLR) have been shown in patients with Endometrial Cancer (EC) there is no information in the literature about systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI). In our study, we aimed to reveal the prognostic role of SII and PNI in EC.

Material and Methods: Medical data for 101 patients with EC were reviewed retrospectively. NLR, PLR, SII and PNI values were dichotomized based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis (cut-off values: 3.3; 177; 1035.9, and 38, respectively). At the time of diagnosis concentrations of these four serum inflammatory markers were analyzed to determine their potential association with clinicopathologic characteristics and to assess their prognostic values via the Kaplan-Meier method and multivariate Cox regression analysis.

Results: Patients with higher NLR, PLR, SII, and lower PNI values had shorter progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) times. Higher NLR, SII, and lower PNI, were associated with FIGO stages, lymph node involvement, lymphovascular invasion, and cervical stromal invasion while additionally NLR and PNI were associated with worse ECOG performance scores (2-3)  and myometrial invasion. In univariate analyses, all these four variables were prognostic for both OS and PFS, whereas in multivariate analyzes only NLR, SII and PNI were found to be independent factors for OS and PFS.

Conclusion: For the first time in the literature SII and PNI were determined to be independent prognostic factors for both OS and PFS in EC.
The Significance of inflammation markers in complete blood count in patients with fibromyalgia

Objective:  Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder mostly seen in women, it mainly characterized by diffuse body pain accompanied by chronic fatigue and depression-like mood disorders. Its etiology still remains unknown but in some studies, fibromyalgia has been reported to be an inflammatory disease several cytokines shown to be responsible for the possible inflammatory basis of the disease. No laboratory marker is currently available to diagnose the disease. We aimed to investigate the diagnostic significance of inflammation markers in fibromyalgia, including platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte (MLR) ratio, and mean platelet volume (MPV).

Material and Methods: This retrospective and case-control study included 188 patients who were followed up and treated for fibromyalgia in physical therapy and rehabilitation outpatient clinic from 2017 through 2019 and 64 age-matched healthy controls. The PLR, NLR, MLR, MPV and vitamin D were calculated from the results of complete blood count test. The differences between the two groups were examined.

Results: The mean age, hemoglobin levels, and erythrocyte sedimentation rates were not different between the groups. In fibromyalgia group, the values of PLR (p = 0.031), NLR (p = 0.044), MLR (p = 0.023), and MPV (p = 0.013) were higher than those in control group, whereas vitamin D levels were significantly lower (p = 0.021). In multivariate regression analysis, PLR, NLR and MLR were not found to be independent predictors (p> 0.05).

Conclusion: The findings of this study reveal that NLR, MLR, PLR, and MPV are not independent markers for the diagnosis of fibromyalgia, suggesting that fibromyalgia does not appear to be an inflammatory disease.

Industri makanan dan minuman merupakan salah satu sektor penting dalam perekonomian Indonesia. Peluang untuk menanamkan investasi pada sektor makanan dan minuman ini sangat menjanjikan, karena pasar masih terbuka lebar dengan jumlah penduduk yang besar pula. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh rasio leverage, rasio likuiditas dan rasio profitabilitas terhadap kualitas laba. Penelitian ini menggunakan analisis deskriptif dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. Variabel terikat adalah kualitas laba (Y), sedangkan variabel bebas yang digunakan yaitu rasio leverage (X1), rasio likuiditas (X2) dan rasio profitabilitas (X2). Populasi dalam penilitian ini adalah seluruh perusahaan makanan dan minuman BEI periode tahun 2014-2018 yang berjumlah 18 perusahaan. Pengambilan sampel dalam penelitian ini menggunakan teknik purposive sampling sehingga diperoleh sebanyak 12 perusahaan yang dijadikan sampel. Pengujian dan analisis data dalam penilitian ini menggunakan uji asumsi klasik (uji normalitas, uji heteroskedastisitas, uji multikolinearitas dan uji autokolerasi), regresi linier berganda, koefisien determinasi (r2) dan uji hipotesis (uji simultan (f) dan uji parsial (t)) dengan program SPSS 23. Hasil pengujian data menunjukkan bahwa secara simultan rasio leverage, rasio likuiditas dan rasio profitabilitas berpengaruh terhadap kualitas laba. Sedangkan pengujian secara parsial rasio leverage dan rasio profitabilitas berpengaruh terhadap kualitas laba, sedangkan likuiditas tidak berpengaruh terhadap kualitas laba perusahaan makanan dan minuman BEI.
PENDIDIKAN KARAKTER DALAM UPAYA MENANGKAL RADIKALISME DI SMA NEGERI 3 KOTA DEPOK, JAWA BARAT

Pendidikan karakter dalam upaya menangkal radikalisme di SMA Negeri 3 Kota Depok, Jawa Barat menggunakan implementasi pendidikan karakter yang diintegrasikan pada kurikulum formal dan hidden curriculum. Kurikulum formal biasanya terprogram dan tertulis pada saat IHT di sekolah pada awal tahun pelajaran, sedangkan hidden curriculum mengikuti kondisi pelaksanaan kurikulum formal karena keduanya tidak dapat dipisahkan untuk ketercapaian tujuan pembelajaran, seperti penanaman nilai karakter ketertiban yang diatur oleh wali kelas di kelas perwaliannya masing-masing, penanaman nilai karakter kedisiplinan dilakukan melalui kesepakatan  guru mata pelajaran pada saat jam pelajaran di kelas, penanaman nilai karakter kejujuran pada saat ujian atau ulangan harian, penanaman nilai karakter ramah, sopan, santun dilakukan pada tegur sapa di kelas dan diluar kelas, penanaman nilai karakter religius  dilaksanakan dengan pembiasaan memulai pembelajaran dengan doa dan pembacaan kitab suci masing-masing agama yang dianut siswa, penanaman nilai karakter cinta tanah air dilakukan dengan menyanyikan lagu wajib nasional setelah membaca doa, penanaman nilai karakter cinta kebersihan dan peduli lingkungan dilakukan dengan membuat jadwal piket kebersihan kelas, jika kelas kotor tidak akan dimulai belajar,  dan lain sebagainya. Itu semua  merupakan bagian dari hidden curriculum dalam upaya ketercapaian kurikulum formal berbasis pendidikan karakter.
