Abstract:
Recipients of training in a model vocational program for deaf-blind youth participated in a summer workshop placement. Three deaf-blind teenage students were placed for four to eight weeks in a community-subsidized work program modeled on the Specialized Training Program. All students generalized assembly and self-help skills in which they had been trained, with peer tutor assistance, prior to placement. Their rates of productivity and supervisor contacts were similar to those of other work program employees. The results demonstrate the potential of individualized programming to meet the vocational needs of the adolescent deaf-blind rubella population in existing work programs for the severely handicapped.

Abstract:
Background: Adolescence is a stage with tremendous pressure and stress. The ones with disability, especially hearing impaired may feel discouraged from exposing themselves to socially challenging situations, thus producing isolation that leads to depression, irritability and feelings of inferiority. Adolescents as such are under constant pressure to perform at every front, the main one being academics. School adjustment is a procedure that brings a person's behaviour in compliance with the norms of the school. It comprises of educational, social and emotional adjustment. Aim: The present study aims to examine the level of school adjustment and aggression among the adolescent with and without hearing impairment. The gender differences were also examined. Methods and Materials: A total of 60 adolescent (girls and boys) aged 14-18 years were selected for the study. Out of which 30 adolescents had hearing impairment and they were selected from school for deaf and blind and a controlled group of 30 adolescents without hearing impairment were selected from a government school in the same area. They were matched on age and gender. A self-constructed interview schedule was used to collect the socio demographic profile of the respondents. Scale on aggression by Mathur G.P. and Bhatnagar Rajkumari and Adjustment Inventory for school students by Sinha and Singh were used. Results: The results showed that there were no significant difference in school adjustment among adolescents with and without hearing impairment and also no significant gender differences were found. Adolescent children with hearing impairment were more aggressive in compared to the same age group adolescents without hearing impairment. Boys were more aggressive as compared to girls in both groups. Conclusion: There is a need to address the issues related to aggression among adolescents with hearing impairment specifically adolescent boys through psychosocial interventions to channelize their energy in a positive direction.

Abstract:
<span lang="EN-US">Adolescents’ disruptive behavior has become a global challenge. Even though the family environment has a considerable impact on adolescent disruptive behavior, this area has remained a blind spot in Ethiopian research. Hence, the present study was aimed at examining how family cohesion impacts adolescents’ disruptive behavior using adolescents’ self-regulation as a mediating variable. Data were collected from 304 adolescent students (155 males, 149 females) using ‘the Problem Behavior Frequency Questionnaire’, ‘Family Cohesion Scale’, and ‘The adolescents’ self-regulation inventory’. Correlational analysis, path analysis, and t-test were employed to examine relationships and differences. The statistical analysis yielded that disruptive behavior negatively correlated with family cohesion and self-regulation. However, the path analysis showed insignificant direct and indirect impacts of family cohesion on adolescents’ disruptive behavior. This suggests that though family cohesion is vital in shielding adolescents from engaging in various disruptive behaviors, it may be ineffective if other family environment processes including family communication, control, and conflict resolution skills do not accompany it. Disruptive behavior among adolescents differed significantly by gender, with males more likely to engage in disruptive behavior than females.</span>

Abstract:
Knowledge of reproductive health is very important to limit sexual behavior that is increasingly free in adolescence, especially during early adolescence. A study in Cameroon showed that women with disabilities have limited understanding of reproductive health and have low reproductive health education.Health education delivered can use a variety of media including modules in the form of print, audio and video. Rosaria's research stated that there was a significant difference in the intervention group that received socialization on the HIV/AIDS prevention module and had better knowledge and attitudes than the control group. The preliminary study at SLB S found that most of the students at the special school did not know about the importance of knowing about adolescent reproductive health because they had never received education about reproductive health. So the authors were interested in conducting a study on the effectiveness of virtual reproductive health education for blind children in the AKB era in Bogor cityThis study aims to determine the success of the Effectiveness of Reproductive Health Virtual Education for Blind Children in the AKB Era in Bogor City. The research design used in this study was a quantitative method using a quasi-experimental form of nonrandomized control group pretest-posttest design taking place in the city of Bogor. Quantitative data analysis included univariate and multivariate analysis using parametric test Unpaired T test with alternative nonparametric Mann-Whitney test.The results of the study show that the use of virtual modules is effective in increasing knowledge and attitudes for children with visual impairments with a p-value 000.5. Suggestion. The use of virtual educational modules can be used as interesting and simple educational media in providing health education to adolescents, especially children with visual impairments.

Abstract:
Teenagers from the age group between the 10-19 years need information about their bodies and emerging sexuality to develop a healthy self &ndash;image and to provide them with the sex education as they are interested in sexual issues to prevent the further risky behaviour in relation to reproductive life.&nbsp;<em>Research Methodology:&nbsp;</em>The present study adopted the quantitative research approach with quasi-experimental research method with one group -pre-test-post-test-design on 24 study samples which were homogenously distributed by using simple random sampling technique to evaluate their knowledge and self-reported practices on intervention of Self-instructional module(12 Samples) and Audio-CD-ROM(12 samples)regarding reproductive health. The tool which was used constructed by the researcher herself i.e. Self-instructional module in Marathi Braille script and audio-CD-ROM as a educational packages and structured knowledge questionnaire and self-reported practices in Marathi Braille script. The reliability of the tool calculated for the difficult index of the listed item questionnaire by using the split half method and r values was 0.84 for structured knowledge questionnaire and self-reported practices items r value is, 0.75 for boys and 0.83 for girls respectively.&nbsp;<em>Results:</em>&nbsp;Data were analyzed and calculated by using the frequency, percentage in descriptive data and &lsquo;Z&rsquo;test, Karl&rsquo;s Pearson&rsquo;s correlation coefficient and chi-square test were applied with inferential statistical methods. After the intervention of self-reported practices and Audio-CD- ROM there is increase in the knowledge score and the self- reported practices score were satisfactory. <em>Conclusion:&nbsp;</em>The encouraging interpretation of the pilot study findings were drawn by the researcher is blind youths need a help of the health planners, policy makers and NGOS to prepare a scheme for welfare of vulnerable groups on the issues like potential risk due to their sheer ignorance and indulge in sex. So the nurse researcher would like to proceed for the main data collection on the same study to generalise the further findings.

Abstract:
BackgroundPsychological prevention programmes delivered in schools may reduce symptoms of depression. However, high-quality, large-scale trials are lacking.ObjectiveThe aim was to examine whether a digital cognitive–behavioural programme (‘SPARX’), delivered at scale in schools, would reduce depressive symptoms 12 months later.MethodsA cluster randomised controlled trial with parallel arms (intervention; control) was conducted in Australian schools, between August 2019 and December 2022. Cluster randomisation occurred at the school level (1:1 allocation). Investigators were blind to group allocation, and outcomes were assessed at baseline, 6 weeks, 6 months (primary outcome only) and 12 months post baseline. The intervention was delivered via smartphone app. Schools were instructed to provide in-class time for intervention completion. The primary outcome was the difference in depressive symptom change from baseline to 12 months between the intervention and control group. Secondary outcomes were change in anxiety, psychological distress and insomnia.Findings134 schools participated in this study, and baseline data were collected from n=6388 students (n=3266 intervention; n=3122 control). Intent-to-treat analyses showed no difference in depression change between groups from baseline to 12 months, (mean change difference= −0.05, z= −0.32, 95% CI: −0.36 to 0.23, p=0.75). There were no differences on secondary outcomes. Many schools did not provide in-class time for intervention completion, and engagement was low (22% completion rate).ConclusionsScaled delivery of a digital cognitive–behavioural programme did not reduce symptoms of depression, relative to a control group.Clinical implicationsGiven the variability in the engagement with and delivery of the digital universal cognitive–behavioural programme, caution is required prior to scaled delivery of SPARX in school contexts.Trial registration numberACTRN12619000855123.

<strong>Purpose: </strong><em>Curiosity is the basis of learning</em><em> anything new.&nbsp; Children possess heightened curiosity than adults. Several studies have explored the relationship between curiosity and motivation. This trait is also found to enhance learning in children. Does this trait have similar significance in visually impaired children as sighted children? This study aims to understand the difference between the two groups with the standardized Curiosity and Explorative Inventory (CEI-II.). Most of the learning is by observing and seeing. In the absence of this in visual impairment, the ability to become curious becomes limited. Embracing new ideas and learning them can provide insight to their open-mindedness. The explorative nature of curiosity renders in personal growth and personality development. This study opens up areas like motivation, personal growth, and approach to learning new things to be explored as potential areas for future researchers. </em> <strong>Design/Methodology/Approach</strong>: <em>This </em><em>comparative study would be based on an equal number of participants of 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th standard groups of children who are sighted and visually impaired.</em> <strong>Findings/Result: </strong><em>This study aims to </em><em>determine the difference and relationship between curiosity levels of sighted and visually impaired school students. </em> <strong>Originality/Value: </strong><em>Curiosity trait among visually impaired children compared to those of sighted children in an Indian context is being explored in this study<strong>. </strong></em> <strong>Paper Type: </strong><em>Comparative, analysis based paper.</em>

Abstract:
Abstract Stories and visuals of Singapore secondary students reflect the ways they negotiate multiple layers of meanings as they experience artistic learning inside and outside the school setting. The photocollage-cum-photoessay representation of one miniportrait features the unique voice of an adolescent wrestling with learning conventional art skills and his schooling in advanced technology. His voice resonates with others regarding balancing personal aspirations with institutional demands and illustrates the failure of prescribed national art curricular objectives to encompass all aspects of adolescents’ artistic learning. A key finding reveals students integrating popular art outside school with their artistic creation, understanding, and appreciation of fine artworks inside the school curriculum. Their experience demonstrates a blend of reality and hyperreality in the contemporary image-saturated world.

The present study aimed to examine the relationship between assertiveness and academic achievement motivation of adolescent students in selected secondary schools of Harari Peoples Regional State among a sample of 332 (145 males and 187 females). Data were collected through the twenty-four-item of academic achievement motivation (AAM) inventory with four-point rating scale that was adapted from previous versions and scales for assessing Assertive Behaviour a thirty-item instrument with six-point rating scale ranging from (+3, very characteristic of me to -3, very uncharacteristic of me) that was adapted from previous research. Data were analyzed employing a blend of both descriptive and inferential statistical methods that successively conducted to examine the level of assertive behavior employing one-sample mean test and combined effects of independent variables on dependent variable (academic achievement motivation) were made employing regression analysis. Findings indicated that; Harari peoples regional state adolescent student’s participated in present study were scored low on the assertiveness; male adolescents were found to be better in their levels of assertiveness than their female adolescent counterparts. With pertaining to the relationship between assertiveness and academic achievement motivation was concerned, there was a statistically significant positive relationship between them. Additionally, it was found that there was a statistically significant positive relationship between parental educational status and assertiveness. Unlike assertiveness and parental educational status, sex appeared to be a less important factor in explaining adolescents’ academic achievement motivation. Attempts were made to explain findings within the existing ecological and socio-cultural practices of the study area. Recommendations were also suggested as to how to properly address the gaps noted in this research.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to examine age differences of minority and majority adolescents regarding ethnic identity, in-group bias (as a form of ethnic attachment), and constructive and blind patriotism (as a form of national attachment). The study was conducted in four multi-ethnic contexts in Croatia: Croatian-Czech, Croatian-Hungarian, Croatian-Serbian and Croatian-Italian. The results of N = 924 students of primary (sixth, seventh and eighth grade) and secondary (second, third and fourth grade) schools were analysed. The average age was M = 14.99, SD = 2.17 years. Younger pupils express higher levels of ethnic identity and blind patriotism, whereas constructive patriotism was more expressed in older students. There were no age differences in in-group bias. Minority pupils exhibit lower levels of bias, while majority members are more prone to bias in the Croatian-Serbian and Croatian- -Hungarian contexts. Furthermore, majority pupils are more willing to express constructive, but also blind patriotism.

Abstract:
The purpose of this investigation was to compare static and dynamic balance in sighted, sighted blindfolded, and congenitally blind students. The subjects (N = 51) ranged in age from 14.1 to 17.4 years of age. The sighted subjects (N = 34) were randomly assigned to one of two groups, 17 in the sighted and 17 in the sighted blindfolded group. The 17 congenitally blind subjects were selected from the total population of blind students attending a special school for the blind. All subjects were tested for static balance using the Stork Stand. Dynamic balance was measured using the stabilometer. The data analysis revealed significant differences between all three groups, with the sighted group demonstrating superior balance for both measures. The blind subjects performed significantly better than the sighted blindfolded group for dynamic balance only. The results of the study support previous investigations which have demonstrated that sighted individuals have better balance when compared with blind individuals. However, the fact that the blind subjects performed better on dynamic balance when compared to the sighted blindfolded group points to the need for immediate intervention in this area for adventitiously blind persons, or those acquiring blindness later in life.

Abstract:
The current trend of enthusiastically watching videos or live streams featuring individuals consuming fruit (especially watermelons) has emerged as a common behavior among the high school student population, a trend known as "melon-eating masses". And the popularity of this phenomenon has raised concerns among educators and parents about adolescent development. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the reasons associated with the emergence of this phenomenon and the related behavioral patterns. Using the qualitative research method, this research provides an in-depth exploration of high school students fascination with the "melon-eating masses" and attempts to understand the underlying reasons that drive this interesting trend. The allure of the "melon-eating masses" among high school students stems from a blend of social, psychological, and cultural factors. This study reveals the correlation between stress alleviation, social emulation, and content novelty. Furthermore, it highlights the necessity for a nuanced understanding of modern media consumption patterns and emphasizes the significance of proactive engagement by educators and guardians to address emerging trends influencing adolescent behavior.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: This study assessed the agreement between self-reported and measured weight and stature in adolescents. METHODS: Ninety-seven students from public and private high schools of Cuiabá, in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil (14 to 19 years old), were examined to assess the validity of self-reported weight and stature. The adolescents reported their weight and stature, which were subsequently measured by standard procedures. The body mass index was calculated from both self-reported and measured data. Weight status was classified according to body mass index Z-score and World Health Organization criteria. The differences between the self-reported and measured means were tested by the Student's paired t-test. Weighted Kappa's coefficient of agreement was used to assess the variations in weight status categorization using informed and measured data. Agreement between measurements was assessed by the Bland-Altman method and intraclass correlation coefficient. RESULTS: The means of self-reported and measured weights (p=0.30), statures (p=0.76) and body mass index (p=0.47) were not significantly different. There was high agreement between self-reported and measured measurements according to intraclass correlation coefficient (weight: r=0.99; stature: r=0.96; body mass index: r=0.97) and the mean agreements estimated by the Bland-Altman method were 99% for weight and 100% for stature. CONCLUSION: Given the excellent agreement with measured data, self-reported weight and stature are considered valid to be used in epidemiological studies on adolescents of Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, Brazil.

Abstract:
Background Wide participation in electronic surveys and reliable reporting of anthropometry can serve to reduce costs associated with monitoring of obesity among adolescents where resources are limited. We conducted a single school pilot study among Caribbean adolescents to assess use of electronic surveys and whether face to face encouragement could promote enrollment. In addition, we assessed students’ ability to reliably report simple anthropometry. Methods Students were provided with access to an electronic survey on anthropometry and food preferences regarding school-based food offerings. Responses to survey questions were presented as percentages. A sample of students also had their heights and weights measured after reporting these measures from memory. Intra-class correlation coefficients were used to assess reliability among measurers and Bland-Altman plots, consistency between student reported and recorded anthropometric measures and Support Vector Machine to assess robustness of anthropometry prediction models. Results Response rate to the electronic survey was low (9%). Students were able to interpret questions; open-ended options were inappropriately used 13% of the time. Post survey qualitative responses indicated displeasure with use of school-associated e-mail addresses. Concerns with confidentiality were expressed as well as preference for completion of surveys during school time. Students reliably reported anthropometry most measures fell within the 95% CI of Bland-Altman plots. SVM classified with a prediction accuracy of 95%. Estimates of overweight from recorded and reported measures were similar. Conclusions Adolescents are able to report simple anthropometry, and this can be used to help with monitoring of growth and overweight. Although they are capable of competently completing electronic surveys, school-based email is an ineffective contact tool. In-person school-based contact and administration of surveys are preferred. Adolescents can reliably report simple anthropometry that can be utilized for estimation of overweight/obesity prevalence. This method can be widely applied.

Abstract:
BackgroundYouth bullying and other aggressive behaviours are a major public health concern owing to their impact on adolescent physical and mental health and well-being. Whole-school restorative approaches have been identified as a promising method of addressing aggressive behaviour but there have been no randomised trials undertaken to examine their effects.AimTo examine the feasibility and acceptability of implementing and trialling the INCLUSIVE (initiating change locally in bullying and aggression through the school environment) intervention in English secondary schools.DesignCluster randomised controlled pilot trial in eight schools (1 : 1 computer-generated random allocation post baseline by a statistician blind to the identity of clusters) and process evaluation.SettingSecondary schools in England (purposively sampled to ensure diversity).ParticipantsYear 8 students (aged 12–13 years), teachers, other school staff and intervention providers.InterventionWhole-school restorative approach to address bullying and aggression, involving the following standard processes: school action group formation and external facilitation to review needs assessment data, identify priorities, and plan and monitor school-level actions; staff training in restorative practices; and a new social and emotional skills curriculum.Comparison groupStandard practice.Main outcome measures(1) The primary outcome of interest was the feasibility and acceptability of delivering and trialling the intervention according to prespecified criteria; (2) process data were analysed to explore participants’ experiences of implementing and trialling the intervention and how these varied according to school context; and (3) indicative primary outcomes (aggressive behaviour measures), secondary outcomes, intermediate outcomes and economic evaluation methods were piloted.Data sourcesStudents (n = 1144 baseline;n = 1114 follow-up) and teachers (n = 387 baseline;n = 336 follow-up) were surveyed at the start and end of the 2011–12 academic year (baseline September 2011; follow-up June–July 2012). A total of 1017 students surveyed at baseline remained in the study at follow-up (89%). Other quantitative data were collected via intervention provider checklists (n = 4) and action group surveys (n = 44); qualitative data were collected via interviews (n = 34), focus groups (n = 20) and observations of action group meetings (n = 16).Results(1) All prespecified feasibility and acceptability criteria were met. (2) Qualitative data indicated that all intervention components and the trial design were feasible and acceptable to students and staff, including in more disadvantaged school contexts. Qualitative data also suggested that student participation may be a core component in improving relationships and engagement across the school. The later-than-planned project start (July) and the timing of the baseline surveys (September), which needed to be completed pre allocation, caused delays in launching the intervention, staff training and other intervention outputs. (3) Three pilot primary outcomes were examined (completion rate at follow-up range: 91.7–94.2%) and the Gatehouse Bullying Scale and the Edinburgh Study of Youth Transitions and Crime school misbehaviour subscale were acceptable, discriminating and reliable measures of bullying and aggression in this context. Our pilot economic analyses support the use of the Child Health Utility 9D scale with this population and the feasibility of cost–utility analysis, although this should be supplemented with a cost–consequence analysis. There was no evidence of harm.ConclusionsIt is feasible and acceptable to implement and trial the INCLUSIVE intervention in English secondary schools, although a longer lead-in time is required to enable timely intervention outputs to occur. A Phase III cluster randomised controlled trial is required to examine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness over a 3-year period of implementation for reducing aggressive behaviours, promoting mental health and well-being, and reducing health inequalities.Trial registrationCurrent Controlled Trials ISRCTN88527078.FundingThe National Institute for Health Research Health Technology Assessment programme (research), the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, the Big Lottery Fund and the Coutts Charitable Trust (intervention).

Abstract:
Abstract Background Current recommendations for treating obesity in adolescence include a comprehensive approach (nutritional, behavioral, and exercise). Calcarea carbonica ostrearum (CCO) is a homeopathic medicine usually prescribed in obese individuals, but its effects on weight and body fat are not completely known. Objective The aim of this study will be to evaluate the efficacy of homeopathic CCO, in addition to a multidisciplinary intervention (diet, motivational support, and exercise program), on body fat and weight in obese adolescents. Methods/Design A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, superiority trial with 3-month study duration will be undertaken. The study will be conducted in a public research hospital in Mexico City, Hospital Juárez de México, in the outpatient services of homeopathy and sports medicine. Eighty non-diabetic adolescents, 12 to 19 years old, who are overweight or obese, will be included. The primary outcome: change in body fat percentage at week 12. The secondary outcomes: change in mean total weight, total body mass index, fat mass index, waist–hip ratio, lean muscle mass, fasting glucose, insulin, insulin resistance, lipid profile, score of Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale Revised (CESD-R) and score of Screen for Child Anxiety-Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) at week 12. Efficacy data will be analyzed in the intention-to-treat sample. To determine the difference in the outcomes between groups at baseline and week 12, data will be analyzed using Student's t-test. Discussion This is the first randomized controlled trial aimed to determine the fat-reducing efficacy in obese adolescents of a homeopathic medicine, CCO, given in addition to a multidisciplinary intervention, compared with placebo plus the same intervention. It is an attempt to support scientific evidence in homeopathy for one of the most common chronic diseases, which causes high mortality due to its complications.

Abstract:
The aim of the study was to evaluate the reproducibility and concurrent validity of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (QAFA). The reproducibility study (repeated evaluations with two-day interval between them) included 171 adolescents (average age 12.3 years, SD = 1.1), and the validity study (reference method: “Actgraph GT3X” accelerometer) included 341 adolescents (average age 11.9 years, SD = 1.0). All participants were students enrolled in public schools of Joao Pessoa (PB), Brazil. The QAFA reproducibility was measured using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and the Kappa PABAK Coefficient. Validity was evaluated by the Spearman correlation, Bland and Altman plot, sensitivity and specificity analysis. Reproducibility was satisfactory (ICC = 0.73; 95%CI: 0.63 - 0.79; Kappa PABAK = 0.58), and higher in physical activity frequency items (eight activities with ICC ≥ 0.70) than in duration items (seven activities with ICC ≥ 0.70). The correlation between QAFA and accelerometer was low (rho = 0.37; p &lt; 0.001). Sensitivity was high (from 79.3% to 90.4%) and specificity was low (from 29.9% to 50.6%). The agreement between QAFA and accelerometer was satisfactory (Bland-Altman). QAFA showed satisfactory reproducibility and validity and can be used to evaluate physical activity in younger adolescents in face-to-face interviews.

Abstract:
Immigration of adolescents involves multiple, many-faceted changes. This study examined the experience of absorption of adolescents in Israel, in the digital age, through the eyes of mentors who work with them, from the mentors&amp;rsquo; social-emotional perspective of themselves and of their students. In this mixed-method study, 122 mentors completed questionnaires with closed and open-ended questions, and wrote extensively about their difficulties. The findings show that most mentors (66%) worked hard to make their students part of the social fabric. Some of the mentors (34%) encountered problems resulting from misunderstandings and poor communication because of language difficulties and lack of control over pragmatic aspects in a sociocultural context. They strove to raise social awareness in the adolescents through observation, and to provide tools for reading and responding to behaviors, all the while encouraging social involvement. Mentors thought that digital environments helped them and the adolescents in their coping. Thanks to digital environments, especially smartphones, adolescents were able to blend into their new environment. Translation, databases, numerous applications, and groups on social networks respond to their needs and help with difficulties they encounter in real time, creating a sense of social connection and belonging.

Abstract:
Digital technologies have given youth an unprecedented opportunity to communicate with their peers inside and outside of their face-to-face social networks. In their online exploration, students are often caught in the web of cyber-bullying. A blind eye must not be cast on the fact that the emotional injuries arising from cyber-bullying could lead to school related problems like poor school engagement and skipping of classes. The purpose of the study was to ascertain the influence of cyber-bullying on academic achievement of in-school adolescents in Anambra State. Two research questions were raised for the study while one hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance. Survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study consisted of 11, 023 Senior Secondary School II (SS2) students in the 257 public secondary schools in Anambra State. The sample for the study comprised 600 Senior Secondary School II (SSS2) students obtained through multi-stage sampling procedure.A researcher constructed identification questionnaire titled &lsquo;IQCACB&rsquo; and students&rsquo; academic achievement were the instrument used for the study.IQCACBwas validated by three experts in the Department of Educational Foundations, NnamdiAzikiwe University, Awka. The reliability of the questionnaire was established using Cronbach alpha method and reliability indices obtained was 0.84. Statistical measure that was used to analyze the data collected was mean and standard deviation. The findings of the study revealed that there is no significant difference in the mean academic achievement scores of adolescents who have been cyber-bullied and those who are cyber-bullies. The study further revealed thatindulging in cyber-bulling did not greatly affect the academic achievement of in-school adolescents. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended among others thatFederal Government should provide support to secondary school administration to obtain the desired educational facilities necessary for effective school running such as employment of qualified teachers and the provision of adequate classrooms. Such steps could improve students&rsquo; academic performance albeit the distraction of cyber-bullying.

Abstract:
Introduction This study compares the experiences of high school students with visual impairments (that is, those who are blind or have low vision) in and out of school. Methods Twelve visually impaired high school students completed the same in-the-moment survey seven times daily for seven consecutive days. The frequencies of their activities, interactions, and ratings of internal variables (fitting in, acceptance, loneliness, and enjoyment) were compared across three contexts: home, school, and other (neither home nor school) contexts. Results Participants spent much of their time out of school alone at home. They rated leisure and structured recreation in “other” locations as their most enjoyable activities. Doing nothing at school was the least positively rated activity. Participants fitted in significantly less and felt significantly less accepted at school than elsewhere. A large proportion of school interactions involved receiving help; few involved giving help. Participants with additional disabilities reported more school social challenges than their peers who were only visually impaired. Discussion and implications for practitioners This study highlights the subjective dimensions of choice in everyday life. The social impact of doing nothing at school provides an imperative for staff members to ensure that adolescents with visual impairments can participate in lessons. Staff may also need to facilitate opportunities for these students to reciprocate with peers. Adolescents with visual impairments highly value activities with friends out of home and, as with most adolescents, may need to lean on their families for assistance in this area until they can participate in such activities independently.

Background Functional dyspepsia is common among adolescents. Pain reduces children’s quality of life, psychosocial functioning, and school attendance. Amitriptyline is assumed to be one of the alternative treatments in functional dyspepsia.Objective To investigate the effectiveness of amytriptyline as a treatment for functional dyspepsia in adolescents.Methods We conducted a randomized, single-blind, controlled trial from January to March 2011 in junior and senior high school students in Dobo City, Aru Island District, Maluku Province. Adolescents suffering from functional dyspepsia and who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were eligible for the study. Subjects were randomized into two groups. Each group received 10 mg (for body weight &lt; 35 kg) or 20 mg (for body weight ≥ 35 kg) amitriptyline or placebo once per day for 28 days. Pain frequency was measured in terms of abdominal pain episodes per month, and duration was measured in minutes. Data were analyzed using t-test.Results Eighty-eight students participated in this study: the amitriptyline group (43 subjects) and the placebo group (45 subjects). There were no statistically significant differences between the amitriptyline and placebo groups in frequency (P=0.777; 95%CI -0.846 to 1.129) or duration (P=0.728) of abdominal pain after treatment.Conclusion Amitriptyline is not more effective than placebo for treating functional dyspepsia in adolescents.

Mobile communication technology is an essential part of life of adolescents nowadays, and those with visual impairments are no exception. In focus group interviews with students from a school for the blind and the visually impaired in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, we found that, despite the visual nature of social media, they use and enjoy these resources as much as their sighted peers. These students are aware of the possibilities and constraints that social media might bring to them but, with the help of assistive technology, make the most of it. After listening to their voices, we noticed that it is high time we incorporate social media in our pedagogical practice, in order to develop their learning process and life skills.

Disturbances in physical self-perceptions (PSP) can lead to inappropriate attitudes and eating behaviours (IAEB) including eating disorders (ED) and obesity. This exploratory study assesses the effects of a blind integrated prevention program—the SILENCE Program—with high school students. No significant effect of the SILENCE Program on the IAEB of the 61 adolescents was observed between pre- and post-test, but a positive evolution of specific PSP components (global self-esteem, perceived physical appearance, etc.) during 14 consecutive weeks was demonstrated compared to an ED-only program and the control condition. Promising avenues for integrated prevention programs (like SILENCE Program) are discussed.

This study aims to apply rational emotive behavior counseling as an effort to reduce cheating behavior of high school students. The design of this study was conducted using a quasi experimental method approach with a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design research design. Data analysis techniques using Wilcoxon mached-pairs signed test, with the Asymp.Sig (2-Tailed) 0.028 &lt;0.05, which shows a significant difference. The Z test value is -0.730 with the Asymp.Sig (2-Tailed) number 0.466, because of the Asymp.Sig (2-Tailed) value&gt; 0.05, it can be concluded that there is no significant difference between the posttest value and the experimental group value with the control group, Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted which means that rational emotive behavior counseling is effective in reducing student cheating behavior. The study was carried out starting from January to March 2018, which took place at Darul Hikmah High School. Based on the results of the study, the researchers proposed several suggestions, among others (1) BK teachers, counseling rational emotive behavior can be applied by BK teachers to reduce student cheating behavior practically and can be easily applied; (2) for researchers furthermore, this research uses the pretest and posttest control group design research models, for the next researcher can use other research designs such as action research in BK, or other experimental research.&#x0D; &#x0D; References&#x0D; Andrestia, M.

This article is a conceptual paper that describes different approaches for teaching mathematics to secondary school students that blend learning with the intrinsic motivation that comes from their reactive intelligence. Students ultimately study mathematics after "learning math." The level of the children's mathematical knowledge is revealed by their ability to read a text and recognize symbols, including numbers, and visuals like diagrams and graphs. Adolescents use their diverse skill sets to master mathematics in these different contexts at the secondary level. Here it is found that the students often use the knowledge from their daily lived experiences (from direct and indirect engagements) to assist them with the mathematics in the textbook and used conceptual understanding rather than formal procedures in response to the mathematics textbook. Stimulating questions, analyzing problems, successful responses, and solving techniques are significant motivating tools in mathematics, which is especially beneficial in the framework of Mathematics learning. These tools and techniques are often used at the secondary to teach mathematics.

Abstract:
The human intestine is a diverse ecosystem populated by microbiota affected by several factors, including age. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of the probiotic powder Lactobacillus plantarum Dad-13 on the numbers of gut microbiota, short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), and fecal characteristics in healthy adolescents. This research was conducted at SMPN 1 Pangururan, Samosir, with a randomized, double-blind, parallel placebo-controlled trial. 54 healthy adolescents aged 13 to 14 were divided into two groups, one consumed a gram of skimmed milk powder (placebo group) and the other ingested powder containing L. plantarum Dad-13 with 1.18 × 109 CFU/gram (probiotic group). After 33 days of intervention, the height of placebo group (149.42 ± 5.03 cm) and probiotic group (154.37 ± 4.67 cm) increased significantly. Significant increases in body weight (44.35 kg ± 4.61 to 45.20 kg ± 4.78) and BMI (and 18.77 ± 2.12 to 18.99 ± 2.11) were observed in the probiotic group. In the probiotic group, the numbers of gut microbiota were not significantly affected (p &gt; 0.05). The amount of SCFA and fecal characteristics of both groups showed no significant differences. Thus, the consumption of L. plantarum Dad-13 increased weight, height, and BMI but could not influence the numbers of gut microbiota, SCFA, and the fecal characteristics of healthy adolescents.

Abstract:
The aerobic power and body composition of 18 sightless adolescents (10 males and 8 females) has been tested by standard laboratory techniques. While attending a residential school and participating in specific sessions of vigorous endurance activity at least three times per week, their fitness was comparable to that of normally sighted adolescents (estimated body fat 14.9, 25.3%, directly measured cycle ergometer maximum oxygen intake 51.7, 39.7 ml $$ kg-1 min-1). However, after a 10-week summer vacation spent with their parents, the physical condition of these children had deteriorated to levels previously reported for blind children (estimated body fat 14.7, 27.1%, directly measured maximum oxygen intake 44.9, 33.7 ml $$ kg-1 min-1). It is concluded that sightless students can attain normal levels of fitness for their age if given an adequate and suitably adapted physical activity program. However, if condition is to be maintained, programs should stress patterns of activity suited to the home environment, which typically has no special equipment or trained guides.

Abstract:
Introduction. This study analyzes changes in dynamic balance among sedentary male adolescents following 8 weeks of Asian squat exercise. Methods. This study was designed as a single-blind, randomized controlled trial. A total of 24 sedentary male students were randomly assigned to either the treatment group (n = 12), which performed Asian squat exercises three times per week for eight weeks, or the control group (n = 12), which did not receive any intervention. The outcome was measured using the Four-Square Step Test (FSST) before and after the intervention. Results. A significant improvement in FSST results was observed in the treatment group at week 4 (p = 0.004) and week 8 (p &lt; 0.001) after the intervention. At the end of the eight weeks, the treatment group showed a statistically significant improvement compared to the control group (p = 0.005), with a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 1.29). Conclusion. Eight weeks of Asian squat training is an effective and safe exercise to enhance dynamic balance in sedentary male adolescents.

Abstract:
Teaching secondary students requires a multifaceted set of skills that blend pedagogical theory, classroom management techniques, and a deep understanding of adolescent development. Drawing upon insights from veteran educators with several years of experience, this article examines the subtle and often underestimated nuances that contribute to effective teaching in a secondary setting. It highlights core practices that bolster classroom management, student engagement, and instructional differentiation. Moreover, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into teaching is explored, revealing how AI-driven tools can offer personalized solutions to classroom challenges. Anecdotes and practical examples illustrate how novice and early career teachers can bridge the gap between emerging instructional methods and the wisdom gleaned from years of hands-on experience. By embracing both tested, instinctive approaches and cutting-edge technologies, educators can foster dynamic and responsive learning environments that empower every student to achieve academic success.

Abstract:
AbstractThe aims of this study were twofold: to assess the level of balance of people with visual impairment against the BOT-2 standard scores for the able-bodied, and to identify in which trials subjects had the greatest difficulties in maintaining balance with respect to the degree of vision loss and age categories. One hundred twenty-seven subjects with visual impairment aged 6-16 years, participated in the study (68 girls and 59 boys). The division for partially sighted people (61) and the blind (66) was made according to the WHO classification. Functional balance assessment was made using a balance subtest from the Bruininks-Oseretsky test. Significant relationships were noticed between age and the level of balance (χ2= 8.35 p &lt;0,05), as well as between the degree of vision loss and the level of balance (χ2= 24.53 p &lt;0,001). The level of balance of almost all blind subjects was below (20%) or well-below (60%) the average for the able-bodied. The subjects’ ability to maintain balance was not dependent on gender and was associated primarily with the degree of visual impairment and age. Partially sighted people had better balance than the blind and the decrease in visual acuity resulted in reduction of balance skills. The lowest level of balance was observed in blind students aged 7-11 years. Elaborating physical fitness improvement programs for children and adolescents with visual impairment, diversity of age, the degree of vision loss and limitations of ablility to maintain balance should be taken into account.

Abstract:
The period of early adolescence is characterized by dramatic changes, simultaneously affecting physiological, psychological, social, and cognitive development. The physical transition from elementary to middle school can exacerbate the stress and adversity experienced during this critical life stage. Middle school students often struggle to find social and emotional support, and many students experience a decreased sense of belonging in school, diverting students from promising academic and career trajectories. Drawing on psychological insights for promoting belonging, we fielded a brief intervention designed to help students reappraise concerns about fitting in at the start of middle school as both temporary and normal. We conducted a district-wide double-blind experimental study of this approach with middle school students (n = 1,304). Compared with the control condition activities, the intervention reduced sixth-grade disciplinary incidents across the district by 34%, increased attendance by 12%, and reduced the number of failing grades by 18%. Differences in benefits across demographic groups were not statistically significant, but some impacts were descriptively larger for historically underserved minority students and boys. A mediational analysis suggested 80% of long-term intervention effects on students’ grade point averages were accounted for by changes in students’ attitudes and behaviors. These results demonstrate the long-term benefits of psychologically reappraising stressful experiences during critical transitions and the psychological and behavioral mechanisms that support them. Furthermore, this brief intervention is a highly cost-effective and scalable approach that schools may use to help address the troubling decline in positive attitudes and academic outcomes typically accompanying adolescence and the middle school transition.

Abstract:
This study examined the effect of an external nasal dilator strip (ENDS) on three field tests of maximal performance and monitored the rating of perceived breathing effort (RPBE). Thirty male Chinese students (age 15.2 ± 1.6 yrs) performed three maximal field tests: (a) short-term anaerobic power (SAnP: 40-m sprint); (b) long-term anaerobic power (LAnP: shuttle sprint); and (c) peak aerobic performance (AeP: multistage 20-m shuttle run) under three conditions: ENDS, placebo, and control. Students were randomly placed into 6 groups using a fully counterbalanced single-blind design. No significant differences were seen between conditions in the anaerobic performances measured by SAnP and LAnP. However, the ENDS produced a significant improvement in peak aerobic performance (p = 0.037) compared to the control condition of 3.2% (95 %CI = 6.2-0.2; Cohen effect size = 0.2), and also compared to the placebo condition (p = 0.018) of 2.9% (95% CI = 5.1-0.2; Cohen effect size = 0.2). The ENDS condition also significantly reduced RPBE during the AeP and LAnP tests by an average of 5.5% and 3.8%, respectively. Wearing an external nasal dilator can significantly reduce breathing effort and improve peak aerobic performance during field tests involving maximal running. Key words: performance enhancement, nasal strip, oronasal ventilation, perceived breathing effort

Abstract:
Background and aims: Color blindness is a disease that remains undiagnosed in some cases. The diagnosis of the disease during schooling is necessary to take the required measures for the future life of adolescents. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of color blindness among the students of secondary schools in Shahrekord. Methods: In this descriptive study, 4074 students of secondary schools across Shahrekord were included by the cluster sampling method. Ishihara color blindness test plate was used to diagnose color blindness. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and percentage) by SPSS 18. Results: In general, 362 (88.8%) patients had color blindness. Out of 2052 male students and 2022 female ones, 343 (16.71%) and 19 (0.93%) cases were diagnosed with color blindness, respectively. In both genders, most students had deuteranopia or deuteranomalia, while other types of color blindness, including tritanomaly, were not detected in the students. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the number of color blind people in the studied region was higher compared to the results of studies in the other regions of Iran. Moreover, the prevalence of color blindness was more in males compared to females. In addition, the prevalence of other kinds of color blindness mainly belonged to deuteranopia or deuteranomalia.

Abstract:
This study aims to analyze the form and impact of self-disclosure carried out by students of SMA Negeri 1 Lubuk Pakam through the Instagram Stories feature. The approach used was qualitative descriptive, with data collection techniques in the form of non-participant observations and in-depth interviews with eight selected informants. The results of the study show that self-disclosure carried out by students reflects four areas in the Johari Window theory, namely open, blind, hidden, and unknown, with the form of disclosure in the form of daily activities, outpouring of feelings, and emotional symbols such as quotes or songs. The positive impacts felt include increased self-understanding, emotional relief, and social support from peers. However, there are also negative impacts, such as social rejection and intrapersonal difficulties due to unmet expectations. This study concludes that Instagram Stories are an important expression space for students in the process of identity formation and emotional management in the digital era. Therefore, digital literacy and assistance from the school and family environment are needed so that adolescents can use social media healthily and responsibly.

Abstract:
Assessing the intake of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) is crucial for reducing obesity; however, a simple but relatively accurate method for determining added sugar consumption among school adolescents is lacking. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reproducibility and validity of a food group-based food frequency questionnaire (FG-FFQ) for SSBs in assessing SSB consumption and added sugar among middle-school students. A total of 242 school students completed the FG-FFQs twice and four discontinuous 24-h dietary records (24HDR) over a three-month period. A weighted average approach was used to obtain the average sugar content in the sugary drink food group (FG). Correlation coefficient, weighted kappa statistic, misclassification analysis, and Bland–Altman plot were used to evaluate the validity and reproducibility of the FG-FFQ. Linear regression was utilized to obtain the calibration formulas. The average content of added sugar in sugary drink FG was 8.1 g/100 mL. SSB consumption frequency, consumption amount, and added sugar had correlation coefficients of 0.81, 0.87, and 0.87, respectively, in the validity analysis (p &lt; 0.05). The majority of scatter plots were covered by 95% confidence intervals in the Bland–Altman bias analysis. The intra-class correlation coefficient of SSB consumption frequency and Spearman correlation coefficient of SSB consumption amount and added sugar were 0.74, 0.81, and 0.90, respectively, in the reproducibility analysis (p &lt; 0.05). Results produced by the FG-FFQ calibration formula were more comparable to 24HDR. The FG-FFQ for SSB consumption showed acceptable validity and reproducibility, making it a viable instrument for epidemiological studies on sugary drinks in adolescents.
