Pencarian maklumat ujian calitan: pengaruh interpersonal sebagai pengantara dalam hubungan penggunaan media massa dengan motivasi menjalani ujian calitan

Kanser jarang diperbualkan dalam kalangan rakyat Malaysia walaupun mereka menyedari bahawa kanser merupakan penyakit utama yang boleh menyebabkan kematian. Malahan, ujian calitan masih tidak dibincangkan secara terbuka terutamanya dalam kalangan orang Melayu yang menetap di kawasan luar bandar kerana ujian calitan dianggap sebagai tajuk perbualan yang sensitif. Interaksi secara interpersonal mempunyai pengaruh yang kuat dalam mempengaruhi individu untuk bertindak. Oleh itu, kajian ini adalah untuk mengenal pasti peranan komunikasi interpersonal untuk mendapatkan maklumat tentang kanser serviks sebagai faktor pengantara di perkaitan antara penggunaan media massa dengan motivasi untuk menjalani ujian calitan. Pengedaran borang soal selidik ke atas 476 orang wanita yang pernah menjalani ujian calitan di empat buah klinik kesihatan yang terpilih iaitu Klinik Kesihatan Botanik mewakili daerah Klang, Klinik Kesihatan Seri Kembangan mewakili daerah Petaling, Klinik Kesihatan Jenjarom mewakili daerah Kuala Langat dan Klinik Kesihatan Dengkil mewakili daerah Sepang. Analisis data dijalankan dengan menggunakan perisian komputer SPSS Macro for Multiple Mediation. Hasil analisis mengesahkan perkaitan penggunaan komunikasi interpersonal sebagai faktor pengantara untuk mendapatkan maklumat tentang kanser serviks dalam hubungan penggunaan media massa dengan motivasi untuk menjalani ujian calitan. Oleh itu, penyampaian maklumat dengan menggunakan pendekatan komunikasi secara interpersonal haruslah lebih kerap digunakan dalam penyebaran maklumat berkaitan dengan kanser serviks dan ujian calitan

Social Welfare and Danish Communes: An International Case Study

The implementation of public assistance and related forms of social insurance, based on existing social welfare legislation, often discriminates against new and emerging social institutions such as collective families residing in a communal situation. A recent case study of the Danish experience has shown that, while members of such communes are in fact discriminated against by the authorities (as a communal entity), the system has simultaneously proven flexible enough to accomodate the majority of problem cases on an individual basis and in the process served to minimize potential social unrest and dislocation. Unlike their American counterpart, research has verified that the Danes have generally been much more successful in resolving conflict situations, inter alia among their growing communal constituents, through an effective combination of the following factors: (a) the overwhelming majority of Danish communalists tend to work with and through the system (rather than against it, as is more often the case in the United States) and are generally not isolated from their respective communities; (b) they do not have large families with attendant social-medical problems necessitating major social intervention, but are likewise well educated and articulate enough to press for their own demands from their respective local authorities if and when necessary; (c) Danish authorities and institutions of social control simultaneously tolerate, partially subsidize, and in many other ways effectively co-opt the commune movement; and, (d) in practice social workers have proven innovative enough to apply existing social welfare laws and regulations on an individual basis when proven cases of need are brought to their attention. *The data on which this article is based

Teacher Support and Its Effect on the Development of Motor Abilities by Pupils with Dyspraxia in Primary Schools in Fako Division of the South West Region of Cameroon

The present study examined the effect of teacher support on the development of motor abilities by pupils with dyspraxia. Two specific objectives that centred on tutoring sessions and supplemental training were formulated to guide the study. The sample of the study was made up of twelve pupils in class three and twelve in class four selected from Catholic School (CS) Mutengene in Tiko Sub Division and Cameroon Baptist Convention (CBC) School Great Soppo in Buea Sub Division, Fako Division of the South West Region of Cameroon. Two teachers from each school also took part in this study. A motor ability test was administered to the intervention as well as the control group in order to measure the pupil’s abilities in relation to gross and fine motor skills. Based on comparative pre-test and post-test design with non-randomized experimental and control groups, the results of the study revealed that teacher support had a significant effect on the development of motor abilities by children with dyspraxia. Inadequate teacher support for pupils with dyspraxia was seen to have negative effects on the development of motor skills by children with dyspraxia; hence teachers should use more of enactive instructional strategies when dealing with dyspraxic learners. The schools should also have an all enriching environment for pupils to explore and fully develop their motor skills
