Background : Scaling Up Nutrition movement is a global effort to strengthen our commitment and accelerating action plan to improve nutrition, particularly the handling of nutrition in the first 1,000 days of life is exclusive breastfeeding and it until 24 months. One of the way is with exclusive breastfeeding counselling that can reduce stunting. The counseling is addressed to brides who need special attention in improving the nutrition and health. Objective : The aim of research to improve knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding counseling the bride through the use of leaflets. Method : This quasi-experimental study was a sample of 30 person a brides with non-random assignment, the variable a knowledge obtained through interviews using questionnaires while the method of counseling does face to face with an exclusive breastfeeding leaflet. The data was analyzed by dependent t-test. Result : The results showed exclusive breastfeeding counseling can improve knowledge bride (p= 0,000) with a mean difference is 6,13 and a deviation is 3,71. Conclusion : Increase of knowledge among ‘bride-to be’ about exclusive breastfeeding could be improved through the use of exclusive breastfeeding leaflet. Each health center must be in collaboration with Office of Religious Affairs to have exclusive breastfeeding counseling, and set one of the priority programs in the prevention of child stunting.   Keywords: Bride, counseling, knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: 1) mengetahui perbedaan hasil belajar antara mahasiswa yang diajarkan dengan Problem Based Learning dibanding mahasiswa yang diajarkan pembelajaran Group Investigation, 2) mengetahui peningkatan hasil belajar mahasiswa akibat penerapan pembelajaran Problem Based Learning. Jenis penelitian ini quasi experiment. Populasi penelitian adalah sebanyak 132 orang mahasiswa dilakukan secara random assignment. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan tes tertulis. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan statistik deskriptif. Hasilnya sebagai berikut. 1) Terdapat perbedaan hasil belajar antara mahasiswa yang diajar Problem Based Learning dengan nilai rata-rata 75,00, nilai tertinggi 90 dan nilai terendah 55, dibandingkan mahasiswa yang diajar pembelajaran Group Investigation dengan nilai rata-rata 59,55, nilai tertinggi 75, dan nilai terendah 40. 2) Ada peningkatan hasil belajar mahasiswa akibat penerapan pembelajaran Problem Based Learning dengan nilai rata-rata peningkatan 46,11 dan ada peningkatan hasil belajar siswa dengan pembelajaran Group Investigation sebesar 29,20.

Initial Focus

Initially aimed at funding the reforms undertaken by the Rao government in the early 1990s, the Llook East Policy rapidly evolved into a comprehensive set of instruments to deal with a fast growing China. From an initial focus on developing trade and attracting foreign direct investment from the most dynamic economies in Asia, it soon became India’s instrument to assert itself in Asia through the institutionalisation of its relations with ASEAN members and ASEAN led institutions. The success of economic performances made it indispensable for India to develop its defence relationship with its new partners as a way the to control its sea lane of communications. They also led to an expansion of the Look East reach to East Asia.

Treatment Manuals

This chapter describes methodological and design considerations central to the scientific evaluation of treatment efficacy and effectiveness. Matters of design, procedure, measurement, data analysis, and reporting are examined and discussed. The authors consider key concepts of controlled comparisons, random assignment, the use of treatment manuals, integrity and adherence checks, sample and setting selection, treatment transportability, handling missing data, assessing clinical significance, identifying mechanisms of change, and consolidated standards for communicating study findings to the scientific community. Examples from the treatment outcome literature are offered, and guidelines are suggested for conducting treatment evaluations that maximize both scientific rigor and clinical relevance.

AbstractWe consider the assignment problem between two sets of N random points on a smooth, two-dimensional manifold $$\Omega $$ Ω of unit area. It is known that the average cost scales as $$E_{\Omega }(N)\sim {1}/{2\pi }\ln N$$ E Ω ( N ) ∼ 1 / 2 π ln N with a correction that is at most of order $$\sqrt{\ln N\ln \ln N}$$ ln N ln ln N . In this paper, we show that, within the linearization approximation of the field-theoretical formulation of the problem, the first $$\Omega $$ Ω -dependent correction is on the constant term, and can be exactly computed from the spectrum of the Laplace–Beltrami operator on $$\Omega $$ Ω . We perform the explicit calculation of this constant for various families of surfaces, and compare our predictions with extensive numerics.

The Impact

Consumer bankruptcy is one of the largest social insurance programs in the United States, but little is known about its impact on debtors. We use 500,000 bankruptcy filings matched to administrative tax and foreclosure data to estimate the impact of Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection on subsequent outcomes. Exploiting the random assignment of bankruptcy filings to judges, we find that Chapter 13 protection increases annual earnings by $5,562, decreases five-year mortality by 1.2 percentage points, and decreases five-year foreclo-sure rates by 19.1 percentage points. These results come primarily from the deterioration of outcomes among dismissed filers, not gains by granted filers. (JEL D14, I12, J22, J31, K35)
