Effectiveness of Counseling in Schools: a study with reference to Emotional Maturity among Adolescents.

Children and adolescents are considered as the valuable asset of any country. Such an emphasis is obviously based on the immense potentials of the youth persons to contribute intellectually, politically and economically to the society. They need to be well adjusted to their physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual competences need to be properly developed. This is achieved through family, school community and society. Among all these agencies, the school system and the teachers play a vital role in molding healthy personalities. If a favorable environment is produced in schools, it would go a long way in promoting the mental health of children and adolescents, preventing several emotional problems, and offering timely intervention for their psychological problems through appropriate psycho social care by school counselors. The study is a modest attempt to examine the effectiveness of counseling services offered to the students and the difference it creates in certain domains of their personality. The research design is descriptive in nature and the sampling technique adopted for the study is stratified random sampling. From the findings it was concluded that, even though the emotional maturity level increases after a good counseling, it was observed that the results among adolescent boys showed a sheer decline in emotional maturity after their counseling. This shows some revamp in counseling models as such

KELUAR DARI ALIENASI ALAM TERHADAP MANUSIA: Perspektif Teosofi Transenden

Perspektif dialektika memaknai alam tidak mempunyai tujuan akhir dan tidak berusaha mencapai keadaan atau bentuk akhir (sempurna), tetapi memiliki kecenderungan sifat pada pengrusakan, interpretasi ini disebut dengan dialektika alam. Alam dan manusia dalam argumentasi teori teosofi transenden (kesatuan wujud) memiliki wujud yang nyata sebagai bentuk ketidaksempurnaan entitas tersebut, sehingga ketika ia tidak saling mengisi dan tidak saling bergantung, berjalan pada masing-masing egosentrisnya, maka ketidaksempurnaan dari keduanya makin nampak. Dengan demikian hak manusia sangat dibatasi oleh nilai intrinsik alam, demikian sebalikny

FEMINISME : SEBUAH KOMUNIKASI SPIRITUALITAS MENUJU PENGUATAN SISTEM SOSIAL

Discourse on feminism can be seen in the struggle of a woman named Hajar. As the mother of the Prophets, Hajar helped support the foundation of civilization framed by Ismail, her son, as a form of social movement wrapped in spiritual awareness, that all forms of racism, feudalism and domination of capital, will disappear in the power of God. This is enshrined in the Hajj ritual, jogging between the hills of Safa and Marwah. Hajar is a historical cultural capital that is represented from class consciousness, which must be accumulated for future civilizations. That is why in an effort to explore these events, the meaning of symbols is needed, according to the model used in history. Meanwhile, the German female philosopher, Hannah Arendt said that there was an important change in the map of human civilization as a result of the 19th century European spirit which eroded and destroyed the structure of the nation's self, regarding the nation state. He highlighted the racism and imperialism of the century which combined a number of forces that were destructive to the public spheres of explanation for their own sake. Ironically, Indonesian women are actually indoctrinated that Western women's traditions are the best. This paper offers how the trend of feminism in Indonesia.</jats:p

Heterogeneous Feature Analysis on Twitter Data Set for Identification of Spam Messages

Spam is an undesirable content that present on online social networking sites, while spammers are the users who post this content on social networking sites. Unwanted messages posted on Twitter may have several goals and the spam tweets can interfere with statistics presented by Twitter mining tools and squander users’ attention.. Since Twitter has achieved a lot of attractiveness through-out the world, the interest towards it by the spammers and malevolent users is also increases. To overcome the spam problems many researchers proposed ideas using machine learning algorithms for the identification of spam messages. Not only the selection of classifiers but also the variegated feature analysis is essential for the identification of irrelevant messages in social networks. The proposed model performs a heterogeneous feature analysis on the twitter data streams for classifying the unsolicited messages using binary and continuous feature extraction with sentiment analysis on social network datasets. The features created are assessed using significant stratagems and the finest features are selected. A classifier model is built using these feature vectors to predict and identify the spam messages in Twitter. The experimental results clearly show that the proposed Sentiment Analysis based Binary and Continuous Feature Extraction model with Random Forest (SA-BC-RF) approach classifies the spam messages from the social networks with an accuracy of 90.72% when compared with the other state-of-the-art methods.</jats:p

Consumer willingness to pay for food products enriched with brewers’ spent grain: a discrete choice experiment

Brewers’ spent grain (BSG), a nutrient-rich by-product, offers the food industry a sustainable opportunity. This study explores consumer willingness to pay (WTP) for food products enriched with BSG, focusing on the influence of sustainability logos and brand information. Using a discrete choice experiment (DCE), analyze how these attributes impact consumer preferences for two products: BSG-enriched bread and chocolate dessert. Key variables included the presence of sustainability logos and BSG information, brand type (premium, low-cost, or no-brand), and price. An online survey was conducted, and the multinomial logit (MNL) model was applied to the data (n = 402). Overall, these results suggest that sustainability logos and BSG information positively influence consumer choices, although brand significance varies across product categories. For bread, the brand plays a critical role in purchasing decisions, while for chocolate dessert, the price is the main decision factor. This research highlights that through the addition of BSG, the bread and chocolate manufacturing industry in Uruguay can increase profits with a premium price and improve product quality, transforming the food industry and advancing sustainable development.Agencia Nacional de Investigación e Innovació
