"In 2000 a cephalometric survey has been done on both genders of Javanese, Bataks and Chinese students at the University of Indonesia (UI), the Indonesian Christian University (UKI) and the Christian University of Jakarta (UKRIDA) with the aim to detect their cephalometric characteristics patterns and the degree of their secular changes with their ancestors. Cephalometric parameters were measured as follows: the maximal head length (glabellaopisthocranion), the maximal head breadth (euryon-euryon), the minimal forehead breadth (frontotemporalefrontotemporale), the morphological facial height (suborbitale-gnathion), the bizygomatic breadth (zygion-zygion) and the bi-gonion breadth (gonion gonion). In addition measurements were done on facial soft tissue factors such as the nasal height (suborbitale-subnasale) the nasal breadth (alare-alare), the ear length (superaurale-subaurale) and the ear breadth (preaurale-postaurale). The results were treated statistically using t test to obtain the degree of significance. It was determined that some cephalometric characteristics have undergone secular changes but both genders of Bataks, Javanese and Chinese students seemed to depict their retainment of their respective ancestors cephalometric characteristics, consequently their cephalometric characteristic differences were still detectable."

"ABSTRAKINTRODUCTION: Diabetes has become a major public health concern with an estimated 180million cases worldwide. Nutritional changes are one of the key aspects in the management oftype 2 diabetes mellitus. Previous studies have suggested an association between vegetariandiets and improvements in glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus, however the relationshipis not well established. The aim of this report is to perform a critical appraisal to analyze whetherplant-based diet reduces the HbA1c level compared to conventional diet.METHODS: A comprehensive computer-based literature search was performed on June 20, 2016using PubMed, Ovid, EBSCO, and the Cochrane Library. All abstracts and titles from the initialsearch results were screened, reviewed, and appraised using critical appraisal worksheets byCenter of Evidence-Based Medicine, University of Oxford.RESULTS: One systematic review and two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) met the inclusioncriteria and were considered eligible for this case report. In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus,HbA1c reduction was significantly greater in the plant-based group compared to conventionaldiet group in participants who did not change medications after 22 weeks of follow up (P=0.01).Similarly, there was also a significantly greater reduction in HbA1c level in the plant-based groupafter 72 weeks (P=0.03). Furthermore, consumption of plant-based diet was associated with asignificant reduction in HbA1c (P=0.001).CONCLUSION: In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, HbA1c reduction was greater in patientswith plant-based diet compared to patients with conventional diet. Further research should beconducted with larger sample size and fasting blood glucose as the main outcome."

"The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of the peer counseling model for improving students' self-direction competence. The research aimed to describe, test and analyze the effectiveness of the peer counseling model and employed the descriptive-analytical method and quasi-experiments to do this. The research activities consisted of a series of model validity tests, namely the model rationality test, the model practicability test, and the limited test. The data collection techniques were interviews, self-direction competence inventories, observation and documentation. The result of the research demonstrate that the peer counseling model as an intervention program for the experimental group as a whole proved to effectively improve students' self-direction competence. The peer counseling model has its strengths in self-confidence, self-reliance, and self-control."

Remaja juga mulaimembuat keputusan-keputusan dalam hal pendidikan dan memikirkan masa depan(Hockenberry, 2007).
