Introduction: Child sexual abuse is a form of child abuse in which an adult or older adolescent uses a child for sexual stimulation. Child sexual abuse can occur in a variety of settings, including home, school, or work (in places where child labor is common). The present study aims to assess the knowledge and attitude of mothers regarding prevention of child sexual abuse in a selected community of New Delhi, and to prepare and disseminate an information booklet on the prevention of child sexual abuse. The objectives of the study were: to assess the knowledge of mothers regarding prevention of child sexual abuse; to assess the attitude of mothers regarding prevention of child sexual abuse; and to prepare and disseminate an information booklet on the prevention of child sexual abuse. Method: A quantitative approach with a descriptive survey design was adopted for the study to collect data from 50 mothers selected by purposive sampling technique. The study was conducted in an urban community of New Delhi. The tools used for data collection was structured knowledge questionnaire to assess knowledge and attitude scale to assess attitude of mothers regarding prevention of child sexual abuse. Result: The analysis revealed that 90% of subjects had inadequate knowledge regarding child sexual abuse. However, 90% subjects had positive attitude regarding prevention of child sexual abuse. Conclusion: Through this study, we conclude that majority of mothers had inadequate knowledge. Therefore, a public education program is needed for parents, with the ultimate aim of protecting children from preventable harm and trauma of sexual abuse. In order to create awareness, an information booklet was disseminated to mothers regarding prevention of child sexual abuse

HUBUNGAN ANTARA PENERIMAAN TEMAN SEBAYA DENGAN PRESTASI BELAJAR PADA SISWA KELAS X ADMINISTRASI PERKANTORAN DI SMKN 8 JAKARTA

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan gambaran berdasarkan data atau fakta yang sahih (valid), untuk mengetahui Hubungan Antara Penerimaan Teman Sebaya Dengan Prestasi Belajar Pada Siswa Kelas X Administrasi Perkantoran Di SMKN 8 Jakarta. Penelitian dilaksanakan di SMKN 8 Jakarta sejak bulan Desember 2010 sampai dengan bulan Februari 2011. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh siswa kelas X. Populasi terjangkau dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh siswa kelas X Administrasi Perkantoran dengan jumlah 119 orang dan 89 orang sebagai sampel. Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah teknik acak proposional. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode survey dengan pendekatan korelasional sedangkan data diperoleh dari data sekunder (data dokumentasi dari sekolah berupa laporan hasil belajar bayangan semester ganjil) dan instrumen yang disebarkan pada siswa kelas X Administrasi Perkantoran di SMKN 8 Jakarta. Uji persyaratan analisis yang dilakukan adalah dengan mencari persamaan regresi yang didapat Ŷ = 52,39 + 0,243 X. Hasil uji normalitas liliefors menghasilkan Lhitung = 0,071. Pada tarif signifikan 0,05 untuk n = 89 adalah 0,09392. Maka Lhitung < Ltabel. Karena Lhitung < Ltabel maka variabel X dan Y berdistribusi normal. Pengujian hipotesis dengan uji keberartian regresi menghasilkan Fhitung (6,91) > Ftabel (3,96) yang berarti persamaan regresi tersebut berarti. Uji kelinearan regresi mengahasilkan Fhitung (1,56) < Ftabel (1,70) sehingga disimpulkan bahwa persamaan regresi tersebut linier. Perhitungan koefisien korelasi product moment menghasilkan rhitung = 0,271. Selanjutnya dilakukan uji keberartian koefisien korelasi dengan menggunakan uji-t, menghasilkan thitung = 2,63 > ttabel = 1,66. Maka thitung > ttabel. Berarti uji koefisien korelasi signifikan dan terdapat hubungan yang positif antara penerimaan teman sebaya dengan prestasi belajar. Di samping itu, dengan uji koefisien determinasi diperoleh hasil 7,36%, itu berarti bahwa variasi prestasi belajar (Y) ditentukan oleh varibel penerimaan teman sebaya (X) sebesar 7,36%. Hasil penelitian tersebut meyimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan positif antara penerimaan teman sebaya dengan prestasi belajar pada siswa kelas X Administrasi Perkantoran di SMKN 8 Jakarta. This research is conducted to describe data or valid fact, to know the correlations between peer acceptance and learning achievement at class x administrative office in SMKN 8 Jakarta. This research has been done at SMKN 8 Jakarta since December 2010 until february 2011. The populations in this research were all students class X. The reach of populations in this research is 119 students class X Administrative Office for total and 89 students for sampling. The Sampling technique in this research is propotional random sampling. The method of this research is survey method with correlation approach, while the data is got from secondary data and instrument servants students at class X administrative office in SMKN 8 Jakarta. The analysis test that was used is by finding regression equation, that is Ŷ = 52,39 + 0,243 X. After that data normality test using liliefors formula results Lcount =0,071. In significant level 0,05 for n= 89, Ltable = 0,9392. So Lcount < Ltable. Because Lcount < Ltable, it means that the mistake of prediction regression Y to X has normal distribution. Hypothesis test by using regression significant results, Fcount (6,91) > Ftable (3,96). Showing that it has significant regression. While regression linearity test, Fcount (1,56) < Ftable (1,70), showing that regression is linear. The result of product moment on correlations coefficient test, is rcount = 0,271 continued by using correlations coefficient significant test with t-test. Resulting, tcount = 2,63 while ttable = 1,66. So tcount > ttable. It means that there are significant and positive correlations between peer acceptance and learning achievemnet. Beside that, the result of determination coefficient test is 7,36%, it means that variation of learning achievement determined by 7,36% peer acceptance variable. The conclusion of the research has shown that there is a positive correlations between peer acceptance and learning achievement at class x administrative office in SMKN 8 Jakart

Adaptasi Beberapa Varietas Jagung Pada Agroekosistem Lahan Kering Di Maluku

Maize has an important role in the national economy, but at some area, including in Maluku, the productivity is still low, below its potential productivity. The productivity of maize could be improved by planting high yielding and adaptive variety to the local environment. Study was conducted in the Haruru village, District Amahai, Central Maluku, from March to August 2012 aimed to identify maize varieties adaptive on dry land agro ecosystem. The study used randomized block design, replicated three times, where farmers\u27 fields were used as replications. The varieties tested were Srikandi Kuning, Gumarang, and Sukmaraga composites varieties. Bima-2 and Bima-2 (hybrid varieties) and Mutiara, Ungu Hati Putih, Merah, Orange Hati Putih, and Orange Hati Merah (local variety, obtained from farmers\u27 fields in the district of MTB). Fertilizers were drilled, 5-7 cm on the side of plant at a rate of 135 kg N, 90 kg P2O5, 60 kg K2O and 1-2 t manure/ha. Variables to be measured were percentage of surviving plants, age at 50% of male flowering, age at 50% of female flowering, plant height, ear height, cob length, cob weight, cob diameter, number of rows/ear, seed number per ear row, 100-seed weight, weight of dry grains, moisture content, and grain yield. Results showed that local varieties indicated a better growth, but grain yield were superior for the hybrid and the composite varieties. Bima-4 hybrid variety produced 10.31 t/ha dry grain, followed by Bima-2 hybrid and the composite varieties of Sukmaraga, Srikandi Kuning, and Gumarang, each was 8.70 t/ha, 7.97 t/ha, 7.60 t/ha and 7.26 t/ha, respectively. Local varieties Mutiara, Orange Hati Putih, Merah, Orange Hati Merah, and Ungu Hati Putih each yielded only 3.74 t/ha, 3.32 t/ha, 3.07 t/ha, 3.02 t/ha and 2.45 t/ha respectively
