Chewable Tobacco

Prevalence of chewable tobacco among adolescents has multiplied incite of ban on tobacco products. The study compares personality characteristics of 275 male and female users of chewable tobacco (gutkha, kharra) between 12 to 18 years using catell’s high school personality questionnaire. Significant differences were seen in intelligence levels with female users scoring less on intelligence (3.35) than male users (3.81). F females scored higher in expediency and evasion of rules (9.34) than males (10.38) and also had lower levels of self discipline and control (9.72) as compared to males (10.50). Programs for tobacco cessation need to build trust and rapport at initiation stage, target female users keeping in mind their more assertive self image and incorporate meaningful unstructured activities for them.

60 youthful offenders scaled 21 concepts with 12 bipolar adjectives of the semantic differential. The scaled concepts were clustered in semantic space by a multidimensional interrelational affective technique. Interpretation of the relationships of the concepts was based on the distance function of the evaluation and potency dimensions. “Death,” “black,” “police,” and “girl” were observed with the highest D2 function and were the most intensely stimulating affective concepts. A canonical correlational analysis was applied to the semantic factor scores of each concept and scores on the High School Personality Questionnaire. Measures of personality did not appear in the same system of relationships with any one of the 21 concepts.

The concept of persistence (to hold firmly and steadfastly to some purpose or task) has been reportedly related to personality development, motivation, and locus of control. However, there is a dearth of research on persistence primarily because a widely accepted and validated measure of persistence is lacking. A 1987 measure, the Persistence Scale for Children by Lufi and Cohen, has been the subject of validation and reliability studies. The present paper is a description of its use with 50 adolescents and the correlations between persistence and the adolescents' personality characteristics, based on Cattell's High School Personality Questionnaire. Correlations between persistence and HSPQ personality characteristics were significant. Replication with a larger sample and continued use in the study of persistence is discussed as well as persistence in relation to adolescent development.

The personality characteristics of hemophiliac children were assessed in 22 hemophiliacs, mean age of 12.2 years. Twelve had < 1%, 4 had 1-3%, 3 had 4-9%, and 3 had > 10% Factor VIII levels. Eleven boys, 8 to 11 years old were given the Children’s Personality Questionnaire, while the other eleven, ages 12 to 18 years were administered the Junior-Senior High School Questionnaire.Both personality questionnaires measured 14 personality factors, each defining specific personality traits. Means for the 22 hemophiliacs were obtained and compared to values for a control population. Scores for factors B, F, G, M, O, and Q3 were found to differ from the normal range (40.0-60.0) and indicated that, as a group, the hemophiliac children were brighter (B, 72.4), more sober (F, 34.6), more timid (M, 36.8), and their inner feelings and overt behavior poorly integrated (G, 33.4 and Q3, 36.6).The personality profiles of these children are similar to the profiles of children frequently diagnosed as Overly Inhibited Personality Disorder, as defined by the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry (GAP) classification.

Abstract Implementation of demonstration method in the teaching of chemistry is assigned as the right strategy to improve students’ achievement as it is proved that the method can bring an abstract concept to reality in the class. The study is conducted to vocational high school students in SMKN1 Pargetteng getteng Sengkut Pakfak Barat at accademic year 2013. The teaching has been carried out three cycles on the teaching of chemistry topic of colloid system. In the study, the class is divided into two class, experiment class and control class. The demontration method is used to teach students in experimental class while the teaching in control class is conducted with lecture method. Both are evaluated by using multiple choise tests before and after the teaching procedures, and the ability of students to answer the problems are assigned as students’ achievements. The results showed that demonstration method improved students’ achievement in chemistry. The students in experimental class who are taughed with demonstration method (M=19.08±0.74) have higher achievements compare with control class (M=12.91±2.52), and both are significantly different (tcalculation 22.85 > ttable 1.66). The effectivity of demostration method in experimental class (97%) is found higer compare to conventional method in control class (91%).

The goal of this research is gaining description on science literacy improvement of junior high school students regarding the topics of earthquake and flood as an effect of Contextual Based Learning (CBL) implementation during science instruction. Quasi-experiment serves as the method of this study with non-equivalent control group pre-test post-test design. Jigsaw cooperative learning method functions as the control treatment. Research subjects involve 52 students of grade VII in a state junior high school in Bandung Regency, West Java. Those research subjects are divided into two classes namely experiment class and control class. The instrument used to collect relevant data is science literacy test covering aspects of science content, science competence, and attitude towards science. Two independent sample t-test is applied to analyze the comparison of science literacy improvement reached between experiment and control class. The result of statistical calculation for two independent sample t-test N-gain using version 23 SPSS software shows a significant value of 0.00 &lt; α. 0.05 for all aspects. The findings indicate that CBL implementation during science instruction within topics of earthquake and flood is proven to be valid to improve students’ science literacy compared to jigsaw cooperative model.

Septic Insult

Abstract Although abundant evidence exists that adverse events during pregnancy lead to chronic conditions, there is limited information on the impact of acute insults such as sepsis. This study tested the hypothesis that impaired fetal development leads to altered organ responses to a septic insult in both male and female adult offspring. Fetal growth restricted (FGR) rats were generated using a maternal protein-restricted diet. Male and female FGR and control diet rats were housed until 150–160 d of age when they were exposed either a saline (control) or a fecal slurry intraperitoneal (Sepsis) injection. After 6 h, livers and lungs were analyzed for inflammation and, additionally, the amounts and function of pulmonary surfactant were measured. The results showed increases in the steady-state mRNA levels of inflammatory cytokines in the liver in response to the septic insult in both males and females; these responses were not different between FGR and control diet groups. In the lungs, cytokines were not detectable in any of the experimental groups. A significant decrease in the relative amount of surfactant was observed in male FGR offspring, but this was not observed in control males or in female animals. Overall, it is concluded that FGR induced by maternal protein restriction does not impact liver and lung inflammatory response to sepsis in either male or female adult rats. An altered septic response in male FGR offspring with respect to surfactant may imply a contribution to lung dysfunction.
