Dalam kondisi semacam ini menjadi perlu adanya pendidikan karakter yang baik dan harus diaplikasikan sejak masa golden age. Mengapa demikian? Jawaban dari persoalan ini menjadi kajian utama dalam artikel ini. Penelitian ini mendapati bahwa para ahli prikologi menilai bahwa pendidikan karakter sudah harus semestinya dari dalam keluarga, karena keluarga merupakan lingkungan pertama bagi pertumbuhan anak. Selain itu, pendidikan karakter juga perlu diberikan kepada anak-anak saat masuk dalam lingkungan sekolah dan masyarakat. Penekanan usia dini menjadi penting sebab pada usia tersebut nilai-nilai religius, jujur, toleransi, disiplin, kerja keras, kreatif, mandiri, demokratis, rasa ingin tahu, semangat kebangsaan, cinta tanah air, menghargai prestasi, bersahabat, cinta damai, gemar membaca, peduli lingkungan, peduli sosial dan tanggung jawab mulai terbentuk dan tertanam dalam ...

Therefore, the author is doing this research to know thedifference of triglyceride concentration in plasma between group who joint high impact exerciseand group who joint body language exercise after given the same amount and dietary compositionwhich had done high impact and body language exercise before. Twenty men (19-39 years old) didhigh impact or body language exercise for 1 hour. Two hours later, they were given dietarycomposition with carbohydrate 60% and fat 25%. Then the triglyceride postprandial concentrations were measured 3, 5, and 6 hours after the given dietary food. The result showedthat the trygliceride concentration of high impact group was higher than body language group 3hours after given dietary food (122.167 17.11627 vs 111.67 7.86554 mg/dL) and there were nodifference between high impact and body language group 5 hours (96.167 7.25029 vs 94.0 ...

Literate young learners are not the exception to realize. Along with their specific characteristics, young learners also need to be facilitated to develop their literacy skills to adapt themselves as early as possible to cope with their environment. The teaching of English to young learners can be one of the efforts to assist them to adjust their language skills to struggle in their life. Language exercises and practices in the classroom settings can help them understand, and communicate with their surroundings, in spoken and written forms of communication channels. The teacher’s design on their learning activities can prepare the young learners to be familiar with the media of communication in the society. Furthermore, the learning activities which result in tangible learning evidence are one of the ways to strengthen the sense of being able to use the language learned. In relation to reading and writing, the real learning outcome gives the young learners opportunity to remember, recycle and reuse the learning materials. Posters, reminders, cards, invitation letters, class books are some of the learning products the young learners can share to communicate with other language users. Thus, they can develop their cognitive as well as their social competence. Through this paper, the writer discusses the importance of literacy skills in teaching English to young learners, various activities to stimulate children in developing reading and writing skills, and the advantages of having learning products in teaching English to young learners.

The body mass index was calculated by dividing the weight by the height squared (kg/m(2)). The health-promoting lifestyle was measured using Walker's Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II instrument. The participants had a normal body mass index with a tendency towards being overweight and obese, particularly for the males. The students also had a low positive health-promoting lifestyle. A significant association was noted between the sociodemographic variables, particularly age, marital status, and nationality, with the body mass index and Walker's Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile. A significant relationship was established between the body mass index and the overall Walker's Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile and the nutrition subcategory. The findings warranted interventions for improved health behaviors and implied the need for the integration of healthy lifestyle programs into the nursing curricula to meet the escalating demands of the students' role in health promotion and disease prevention.

The aim of the present study was to determine the anti-inflammatory activity of the aqueous extract of F. deltoidea leaf (FDA) using acute and chronic inflammatory models. FDA, in the doses of 30, 100, and 300 mg/kg, was administered intraperitoneally in rats ( n = 6) before the animals were subjected to the carrageenan-induced paw edema test, cotton pellet-induced granuloma test, and formalin test. The first two tests represent acute and chronic models of inflammation, respectively. The first and second phases of the formalin test represent neurogenic pain and inflammatory-mediated pain, respectively; thus, only the second phase was measured in the present study. Results showed that FDA exerted significant ( p < .05) anti-inflammatory activity in all assays, with dose–response effects seen in the paw edema and formalin tests. In conclusion,...
