Youth in Danger and Students at Risk of Dropping Out

Bullying is any unwanted aggressive behavior(s) by another youth or group of youth that involves an observed or perceived power imbalance and is repeated multiple times or is highly likely to be repeated. Bullying may inflict harm or distress on the targeted youth including physical, psychological, social, or educational harm. Bullying can lead to fear of school, absenteeism, and stunted academic progress, which in turn are precursors to dropping out of school. Effects of Bullying on Students Long lasting effects School Dropout. Lack of Concentration Reduced Motivation Less Class Participation Less Attendance Lower Academic Achievement Student Dropouts The increase in dropout rates in higher education is a phenomenon that has generated a lot of interest because of the need to deal with its economic, personal, and social consequences, and because of its prevalence, estimated around 30% in America. There is a similar interest in violent behavior in university classrooms, which has also been seen to have increased in recent years. Given that, and the fact that Book has shown personal variables to be more influential in dropout from higher education, the aim of this study is to explore whether those students who are the victims of bullying (both traditional and cyberbullying) are closer to dropping out from their degree courses. The results showed that students who were victims of bullying were more likely to consider dropping out than students who were not victims of bullying. In addition, variables related to social integration (support from friends and teachers) exhibited a moderating effect. These findings raise the urgent need to include intervention strategies in relation to bullying in university plans to prevent dropout. Higher education as we know it has now and forever dramatically changed. Leaders must take a fresh look at how their institutions design, implement, and measure practices in strategic enrollment management and expand the model, as never before. Higher Education on the Brink: Reimagining Strategic Enrollment Management in Colleges and Universities combines strategies for enrollment enhancement with significant support for development of alternative revenue streams for overall sustainability and growth. It introduces a new model for launching highly engaged strategic planning processes for colleges and universities. With current, real-world examples, the book details how colleges can be guided by integrated strategic planning processes to recalibrate efforts that yield key results. The major difference in this work is an exacting focus on organizational culture and each facet that defines it. As colleges and universities place new focus on strategically re-imagining higher education and their role in it, Higher Education on the Brink will serve as a guide for determining what difficult questions need to be asked and how to answer those questions in a manner that will position the college for the future with support from the college community, generating increased opportunities for student and operational success

The former quartz sand excavation land is a potential land for agricultural land. This land generally contains sufficiently high sand and very low fertility. The use of new superior varieties adaptive and tolerant can increase production. This study was carried out in the experimental field owned by BPTP in Gantong Village, East Belitung Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands Province. The design used was a randomized block design using three types of superior varieties, namely Inpari 22, Inpara 3, and Inpara 5. Each replication was repeated 3 times. Planting uses the jajar legowo system 4:1 (25 x 15) x 40 cm with 2-3 seedlings/planting holes. The fertilizer used is NPK 15:15:15 300 kg/ha and Urea 100 kg/ha. Urea fertilizer is given 3 (three) times each when plants are 7 days after planting (HST) as much as 25%, 25 HST as much as 50%, and 45 HST as much as 25% dose. Lime and organic fertilizer with a dose of 1 ton/ha each. Parameters observed included plant height, number of tillers, and production. The results of the study indicate that the growth of Inpara 5 has better than other varieties. The highest plant height and number of tillers are owned by Inpara 5, but not significantly different than Inpara 3 and Inpari 22. From the aspect of production Inpara 5 (2.23 t/ha) is significantly different from the varieties Inpara 3 (1.51 t/ha) and not significantly different from Inpari 22 (2.21 t/ha)

Passport: Enabling Accurate Country-Level Router Geolocation using Inaccurate Sources

When does Internet traffic cross international borders? This question has major geopolitical, legal and social implications and is surprisingly difficult to answer. A critical stumbling block is a dearth of tools that accurately map routers traversed by Internet traffic to the countries in which they are located. This paper presents Passport: a new approach for efficient, accurate country-level router geolocation and a system that implements it. Passport provides location predictions with limited active measurements, using machine learning to combine information from IP geolocation databases, router hostnames, whois records, and ping measurements. We show that Passport substantially outperforms existing techniques, and identify cases where paths traverse countries with implications for security, privacy, and performance
