Dynamics of Social Networks Following Adolescent Pregnancy
Authors: Humberstone Elizabeth 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Adolescents who experience a pregnancy often face educational and economical difficulties later in life. One factor that has been found to improve outcomes for pregnant teens is access to social supports. Inopportunely, teen pregnancy presents social obstacles, and cross-sectional analysis has found pregnant teens have fewer friendships than their non-pregnant counterparts. However, longitudinal work has yet to explore network change after a pregnancy. This study uses multiple network modeling techniques to follow the social networks of a group of girls who become pregnant between waves of the Add Health survey. Pregnant teens were found to maintain fewer friendships between time points than peers. Whole school network maps suggest that in some schools teens move to more peripheral network positions following pregnancy. These preliminary findings suggest that the relationship between social network change and pregnancy may vary depending on school environment; future work is needed to better understand how school contexts may change the social outcomes of pregnant girls.
Finnish schoolchildren’s perceived health-related quality of life deteriorates remarkably with age
Authors: Paakkonen Tarja , Paakkonen Heikki 
Published: November 2018

Abstract

Background:
Information on individuals’ functioning and disability is needed for numerous purposes in social and health care.

Objective:
The purpose of the study was to assess the perceived health-related quality of life of Finnish schoolchildren aged from 7 to 17 years. We were interested to ascertain if changes of health-related quality of life with age could be discovered.

Method:
The quality of life data (N = 4,776) were collected using Revidierter KINDer Lebensqualitätsfragebogen (KINDL-R). The survey was conducted in several comprehensive schools using tablet computers. The response rate was 95%. The quality of life data are presented as means and standard deviations. The rating scale was 0 to 100 points.

Results:
The mean of respondents’ (N = 4,776) health-related quality of life points was 72.1 (SD 11.0). Family as a factor impacting on the quality of life scored the highest points 78.2 (SD 16.1), while self-esteem got the lowest points 62.5 (SD 17.9). Adolescent girls’ school-related quality of life points were 60.2 (SD 15.0) and adolescent boys’ points were 61.7 (SD 14.4). Lower graders’ and upper graders’ quality of life differed very significantly so that the ratings of the lower graders were higher than the ratings of the upper graders. Finnish girls’ quality of life as a whole was poorer than that of Finnish boys. The physical and emotional welfare as well as the self-esteem of young Finnish girls were poorer than those of their male peers.

Conclusions:
The poor well-being of adolescents is recognized and accepted as a development-related phenomenon. Poor health-related quality of life experienced by adolescents may be interpreted as a symptom of a disease. Deterioration in health-related quality of life among adolescents should not be accepted as a development-related factor; that phenomenon should be further investigated and necessary measures taken to improve the quality of adolescent’s life.
Apreciaciones sobre la educación para el trabajo y el desarrollo humano y el menosprecio al que se enfrenta

Published: November 2018

En Colombia la educación para el trabajo y el desarrollo humano se encarga de la formación de las personas a partir del desarrollo de competencias laborales en un área específica basada en mayor proporción en habilidades y destrezas que en contenido teórico y documental. Este tipo de formación en Colombia hace que las personas que accedan a ella logren en un corto tiempo adquirir, complementar o reforzar conocimientos propios de un saber hacer; así mismo posibilita una integralidad referente a los temas del ser y del saber. Una vez la persona haya estudiado un programa de esta clase, (también nombrados programas técnicos), el estudiante se certifica como un auxiliar dotado de prácticas que le servirán en la vida laboral para apoyar a un tecnólogo o un profesional, pero que no le serán útiles para generar teorías, investigaciones o aportes científicos a la sociedad.

Effect of baseline snowpack assumptions in the HySIM model in predicting future hydrological behaviour of a Himalayan catchment
Authors: Remesan Renji , Begam Sazeda , Holman Ian P. 
Published: November 2018

AbstractGlaciers and snowpacks influence streamflow by altering the volume and timing of discharge. Without reliable data on baseline snow and ice volumes, properties and behaviour, initializing hydrological models for climate impact assessment is challenging. Two contrasting HySIM model builds were calibrated and validated against observed discharge data (2000–2008) assuming that snowmelt of the baseline permanent snowpack reserves in the high-elevation sub-catchment are either constrained (snowmelt is limited to the seasonal snow accumulation) or unconstrained (snowmelt is only energy-limited). We then applied both models within a scenario-neutral framework to develop impact response surface of hydrological response to future changes in annual temperature and precipitation. Both models had similar baseline model performance (NSE of 0.69–0.70 in calibration and 0.64–0.66 in validation), but the impact response surfaces differ in the magnitude and (for some combinations) direction of model response to climate change at low (Q10) and high (Q90) daily flows. The implications of historical data inadequacies in snowpack characterization for assessing the impacts of climate change and the associated timing of hydrological tipping points are discussed.

Published: November 2018

Objective:
The study aimed to describe the identity and antimicrobial resistance patterns of the
causative agents of bacterial meningitis in children referred to Children’s Medical Center (CMC) Hospital,
Tehran, Iran.

Methods:
This retrospective study was performed at CMC Hospital during a six-year period from 2011 to
2016. The microbiological information of the patients with a diagnosis of bacterial meningitis was collected
and the following data were obtained: patients’ age, sex, hospital ward, the results of CSF and
blood cultures, and antibiotic susceptibility profiles of isolated organisms.

Results:
A total of 118 patients with bacterial meningitis were admitted to CMC hospital. Sixty-two percent
(n=73) of the patients were male. The median age of the patients was ten months (interquartile range
[IQR]: 2 months-2 years) and the majority of them (n=92, 80%) were younger than two years of age. The
highest number of patients (n=47, 40%) were admitted to the surgery department. Streptococcus
epidermidis was the most frequent isolated bacterium (n=27/127, 21%), followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae
(n=20/127, 16%), and Staphylococcus aureus (n=16/127, 12.5%). Blood culture was positive in 28%
(n=33/118) of patients. Ampicillin-sulbactam and imipenem were the most effective antibiotics against
Gram-negative bacteria isolated from CSF cultures. In the case of Gram-positive organisms, ampicillinsulbactam,
vancomycin, and linezolid were the best choices. Imipenem was the most active drug against
Gram-negative blood pathogens. Also, ampicillin and vancomycin had the best effect on Gram-positive
bacteria isolated from blood cultures.

Conclusion:
Results of this study provide valuable information about the antibiotic resistance profiles of
the etiologic agents of childhood meningitis, which can be used for prescription of more effective empirical
therapies.
MEMBANGUN ETIKA LINGKUNGAN SEBAGAI BASIS PEMBANGUNAN BERKELANJUTAN
Authors: Hadi Bambang Syaeful 
Published: November 2018

AbstrakManusia sebagai bagian dari makhluk hidup penghuni bumi berhubungan timbal balik dengan lingkungan. Dalam rangka mencapai kesejahteraan hidupnya manusia berusaha memanfaatkan sumberdaya lingkungan yang ada. Sebagian dari manusia mempunyai cara pandang yang keliru terhadap sumberdaya (mentalitas frontier), sehingga tindakannya dapat menyebabkan kerusakan lingkungan. Disisi lain terdapat pula kelompok manusia yang berusaha melakukan pembangunan dengan mengejar angka pertumbuhan ekonomi dengan memproduksi sebanyak-banyaknya, sehingga eksploitasi lingungan alam tak dapat dihindarkan. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan krisis lingkungan, maka paradigma pembangunan perlu diubah agar sumberdaya yang ada tidak punah atau hanya dinikmati generasi saat ini, tetapi dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai bekal hidup generasi mendatang. Dengan kata lain pembangunan harus berkelanjutan. Pembangunan Berkelanjutan (sustainable development) memerlukan landasan nilai dan moral, agar setiap oang dapat mendukungnya. Landasan nilai tersebut adalah etika lingkungan. Etika lingkungan dapat memiliki daya kendali yang baik bagi setiap tindakan manusia terhadap lingkungan manakala terjadi perubahan pola pikir (moral thinking), sikap moral (moral affective), dan tindakan (moral action). Bila etika lingkungan telah terbangun dan terinternalisasi dalam diri manusia, maka pembangunan berkelanjutan tidak akan mengalami hambatan dalam pelaksanaannya. Membangun etika dapat dilakukan melalui pendidikan jalur formal/sekolah dan nonformal (keluarga dan masyarakat).Kata kunci : etika lingkungan, lingkungan berkelanjutan

Kajian terhadap suatu negara dalam perspektif Geografi Politik dapat menggunakan pendekatan fungsional. Pendekatan tersebut meliputi fungsi internal dan eksternal. Fungsi internal mencakup kekuatan sentripetal,kekuatan sentrifugal, ideologi negara dan organisasi intern. Sedangkan fungsi eksternal meliputi relasi teritorial, relasi elonomis, relasi politis dan relasi strategis. Amerika Serikat sebagai suatu negara adidaya dalam rangka mempertahankan ideologi kebebasan individunya rela berperang di seantero dunia, mulai dari tahun 1940-an di Eropa (Jerman) dan Asia (Jepang), tahun 1950an sampai kini di Asia (Korea , Vietnam, Afghanistan dan Irak). Perang-perang itu dilaksanakan dalam kerangka relasi politis (mempertahankan hegemoninya), relasi ekonomis (menjamin pasar bagi produk industri) dan relasi strategis (menjamin pasokan energi bahan bakar minyak). Dengan kata lain Amerika Serikat akan terus berusaha mendapatkan ruang hidup yang lebih luas bagi 191,1 juta penduduknya kalau tidak mau bubar seperti Uni Sovyet dan Yugoslavia.

Abstrak Kegiatan manusia memanfaatkan lahan untuk pemenuhan kebutuhan pangan menjadi kajian geografi pertanian. Kajian variasi lokasi dikaitkan dengan ruang dan waktu tertentu, observasi langsung dan tidak langsung terhadap fakta geografi, persebaran keruangan, dan kewilayahan, interaksi manusia dengan alam, dan diferensiasi wilayah menjadi fokus kajian geografi pertanian. Pendekatan geografi pertanian difokuskan pada kegiatan manusia dalam memanfaatkan lahan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidupnya memperhatikan keruangan, kelingkungan, dan kewilayahan. Geografi sebagai disiplin yang didalamnya ikut mengkaji aspek pertanian diharapkan dapat ikut memberikan kontribusi mengembangkan pertanian selaras dengan alam. Identifikasi faktor determinan dengan pendekatan geografi sehingga penerapan teknologi pertanian selalu memperhatikan faktor alam sebagai faktor produksi utama. Krisis berkepanjangan mengharuskan pemahaman kebijakan pembangunan pertanian ditinjau kembali agar mencapai tingkat pertumbuhan produksi pertanian tanpa menafikkan daya dukung faktor produksi yang berkelanjutan. Transformasi pertanian ke industri agar berjalan mulus yaitu agroindustri yang mendorong segera terciptanya ekonomi industri yang didukung ekonomi pertanian. Orientasi pertanian perlu disesuaikan kebutuhan pasar agar produksi pertanian mampu menjadi sumber pendapatan untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan manusia terutama mereka yang tetap bertahan pada kegiatan pertanian.

Exploitation of the Didactic Potential of the COCA in Task-Based Language Teaching Involving Cultural References
Authors: Lopes António 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
The Corpus of Contemporary American English (Davies) on the Brigham Young University website has been used in the English as Foreign Language (EFL) classroom to help learners better understand how language works at different levels of analysis and also to develop their writing skills. However, it also allows learners to explore culture-related content, by giving them access to invaluable information about social, ideological, political and historical contexts. Moreover, it provides the means to examine the ways in which such aspects intersect with language and condition its use. The understanding of this cultural and discursive dimension of language is pivotal in the training of undergraduate students in the areas of humanities and social sciences. To determine how far the COCA can contribute to increase this awareness, a series of task-based activities involving writing was drawn up and carried out in an EFL class of undergraduate students. They were first introduced to this corpus analysis tool and encouraged to explore it further. Later on, in order to complete a writing task, they were prompted to resort to a series of strategies to collect information about relevant events, personalities and social or cultural phenomena, to analyse and interpret data, and to draw conclusions about the modes in which culture and language can interact. This paper provides (a) the rationale and a brief literature review on this topic, (b) a description of the task-based activities, the implementation process, the students’ strategies and the evaluation procedures, and (c) a critical reflection on this study that may open the path for further developments in this area.

Abstract
Present study investigated mapping and monitoring urban land areas from Landsat8 satellite data using remotely sensed indices. The normalized difference built-up index (NDBI), Enhanced Built-Up and Bareness Index (EBBI), Index-based built-up index (IBI), urban index (UI), normalized difference bareness index (NDBaI) were used to extract the built-up area. The NDBI was more effective at discriminating built-up areas and at increasing accuracy (overall accuracy of 76.45 % and kappa accuracy of 57 %) of the built-up density percentage than other remotely sensed indices. Evidence on built-up area change geographically would permit urban planner and decision makers to comprehend and appraise urban growth pattern in regards to land cover dynamics.
Cultural Landscape: A Bridge Between Deforestation and Local Community?
Authors: Christiawan Putu Indra 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Deforestation is a serious threat to areas with large forest resources. Indonesia as a tropical country has a vast forest in every region. Weak supervision leads to more deforestation cases being carried out by local communities, with negative consequences that directly lead to the local community. The involvement of local communities in managing forests is absolutely necessary. The study in this paper shows that local people have learned hard from the consequences of deforestation, and then learned to live harmoniously with nature in their local wisdom. Based on the results of the study shows that: (1) deforestation gives little benefit and is temporary compared to the prolonged negative impacts in the form of drought disaster, and on the other hand, (2) deforestation is a driving force in the creation of cultural landscape that makes people in Selat Village, Buleleng Regency, Bali Province is able to live harmoniously with the God’s, human and with the environment.
