Pembudayaan Pendidikan Anti Korupsi di dalam Lingkungan Keluarga Berbasis Pembentukan Karakter

Korupsi adalah merupakan suatu dari kejahatan yang luar biasa (ekstra ordinary crime), hal inidisebabkan karena korupsi terjadi di semua bidang kehidupan, dan dilakukan secara sistematissehingga sangat sulit untuk memberantasnya. Perbuatan korupsi merupakan suatu perbuatanorang yang tidak jujur yang bermula sebagai perbuatan jahat yang memerlukan kemampuanberpikir, dengan pola perbuatan yang demikian itu kemudian paling mudah merangsang untukditiru dan menjalar dalam lapisan masyarakat. Oleh karenanya tidak mengherankan bila korupsiterjadi di semua bidang kehidupan, dan dilakukan oleh semua lapisan masyarakat, baikpemerintah, maupun swasta baik pejabat maupun pegawai rendahan. Berkaitan dengan KPKyang sudah mencanangkan program kerja yang salah satunya adalah melakukan suatu upayapreventif dengan melibatkan semua unsur. Upaya preventif ini adalah dengan melakukanpenanaman nilai-nilai anti korupsi terhadap semua pihak,bahakn KPK meminta sekolah danPerguruan Tinggi dalam mata pelajaran dan mata kuliah dapat disisipkan penanaman nilai-nilaianti korupsi, dengan demikian generasi penerus bangsa diharapkan menjadi generasi antikorupsi. Hal yang sama juga dapat ditanamkan nilai-nilai anti korupsi dapat dilakukan dilingkungan keluarga melalui nilai nilai 18 karakter .Dengan menenanamkan 18 nilai nilaikarakter di keluarga akan menumbuhkan nilai nilai anti korupsi dan menjadi budaya yangditerapkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari sehingga dengan demikian dapat berpartisipasi dalamprogram pemerintah untuk membenrantas korupsi

Environmental and Lifestyle Factors Associated with Perceived Facial Age in Chinese Women

Perceived facial age has been proposed as a biomarker of ageing with ‘looking young for one’s age' linked to physical and cognitive functioning and to increased survival for Caucasians. We have investigated the environmental and lifestyle factors associated with perceived facial ageing in Chinese women. Facial photographs were collected from 250 Chinese women, aged 25–70 years in Shanghai, China. Perceived facial age was determined and related to chronological age for each participant. Lifestyle and health information was collected by questionnaire. Bivariate analyses (controlling for chronological age) identified and quantified lifestyle variables associated with perceived facial age. Independent predictors of perceived age were identified by multivariate modelling. Factors which significantly associated with looking younger for one's chronological age included greater years of education (p<0.001), fewer household members (p = 0.027), menopausal status (p = 0.020), frequency of visiting one's doctor (p = 0.013), working indoors (p<0.001), spending less time in the sun (p = 0.015), moderate levels of physical activity (p = 0.004), higher frequency of teeth cleaning (p<0.001) and more frequent use of facial care products: cleanser (p<0.001); moisturiser (p = 0.016) or night cream (p = 0.016). Overall, 36.5% of the variation in the difference between perceived and chronological age could be explained by a combination of chronological age and 6 independent lifestyle variables. We have thus identified and quantified a number of factors associated with younger appearance in Chinese women. Presentation of these factors in the context of facial appearance could provide significant motivation for the adoption of a range of healthy behaviours at the level of both individuals and populations

Does the oxytocin receptor polymorphism (rs2254298) confer 'vulnerability' for psychopathology or 'differential susceptibility'? insights from evolution

The diathesis-stress model of psychiatric conditions has recently been challenged by the view that it might be more accurate to speak of 'differential susceptibility' or 'plasticity' genes, rather than one-sidedly focusing on individual vulnerability. That is, the same allelic variation that predisposes to a psychiatric disorder if associated with (developmentally early) environmental adversity may lead to a better-than-average functional outcome in the same domain under thriving (or favourable) environmental conditions. Studies of polymorphic variations of the serotonin transporter gene, the monoamino-oxidase-inhibitor A coding gene or the dopamine D4 receptor gene indicate that the early environment plays a crucial role in the development of favourable versus unfavourable outcomes. Current evidence is limited, however, to establishing a link between genetic variation and behavioural phenotypes. In contrast, little is known about how plasticity may be expressed at the neuroanatomical level as a 'hard-wired' correlate of observable behaviour. The present review article seeks to further strengthen the argument in favour of the differential susceptibility theory by incorporating findings from behavioural and neuroanatomical studies in relation to genetic variation of the oxytocin receptor gene. It is suggested that polymorphic variation at the oxytocin receptor gene (rs2254298) is associated with sociability, amygdala volume and differential risk for psychiatric conditions including autism, depression and anxiety disorder, depending on the quality of early environmental experiences. Seeing genetic variation at the core of developmental plasticity can explain, in contrast to the diathesis-stress perspective, why evolution by natural selection has maintained such 'risk' alleles in the gene pool of a population

Community Structure of Nudibranchs (Gastropoda) at Coastal Waters of Waleo Village (Mollucas Sea) and Kalasey Village (Manado Bay, Sulawesi Sea)

Nudibranchia are mollusks without a shell. They are simultaneous hermaphrodites and are carnivores while some of them are cannibals. Nudibranchia are frequent occupants and foraging on coral reefs. The study was conducted at two locations, namely Waleo Village Waters representing the waters of Mollucas and Sulawesi Sea was represented by Kalasey Village. The difference in the location of the two waters is expected to affect the existence of community structures. The present study includes diversity, richness, evenness, dominance and similarity. A line transect was used to collect data. We found 84 individuals from both study sites representing 8 species of Nudibranchia, which fall into 4 genera and 3 families namely, Pteraeolididae, Phyllidiidae, and Chromodorididae. The most common family was the Phyllidiidae. The similarity value at both locations was 54.5%© Penelitian tentang struktur komunitas gastropoda nudibranchia telah dilakukan di dua lokasi yaitu Desa Waleo (Laut Maluku) dan Desa Kalasey (Laut Sulawesi).
