OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the efficacy of 2 indicated preventive interventions, postintervention and at 9-month follow-up. METHODS Drawn from a pool of potential high school dropouts, 460 youths were identified as being at risk for suicide and participated in 1 of 3 conditions randomly assigned by school: (1) Counselors CARE (C-CARE) (n = 150), a brief one-to-one assessment and crisis i...

This research is to conduct an analysis of the Smart Indonesia Program (PIP) in reducing school dropouts Bandung Regency. Using secondary data through observations and literature studies with focus this directed at analyzing program criteria, namely; Effectiveness, Efficiency, Adequacy, Equity, Responsiveness, Accuracy. The results showed that terms effectiveness it was effective dropout rate. ...

In this project, we model MOOC dropouts using user activity data. We have several rounds of feature engineering and generate features like activity counts, percentage of visited course objects, and session counts to model this problem. We apply logistic regression, support vector machine, gradient boosting decision trees, AdaBoost, and random forest to this classification problem. Our best mode...

This article focused on uncovering the background of youth lamenting unemployment in presence agribusiness employment opportunities. A phenomenological qualitative design was employed to generate in-depth information. The sample frame formed clubs from district office. Purposive and snowball sampling used recruit participants doing different agribusinesses. Photovoice, focus group discussions, ...

In networked control systems (NCS), it is considered essential to design a robust controller such that the networked-system is stable against data dropouts during the network transfer. It has been shown that there is a critical data dropout rate over which the networkedsystem could be unstable; hence the desired task cannot be achieved. This paper shows that a desired task or trajectories can b...

The dynamics of power distribution between longitudinal modes of a multimode semiconductor laser subjected to external optical feedback is experimentally analyzed in the low-frequency fluctuation regime. Power dropouts in the total light intensity are invariably accompanied by sudden activations of several longitudinal modes. These activations are seen not to be simultaneous to the dropouts, bu...

In this study, I used a life-table approach to estimate how much hypothetical reductions in pregnancy-related dropouts would help close the gender gap in educational attainment. Using the schooling histories of 6,686 pupils, I partitioned Cameroon's gender gap in education into "pregnancy-related" and "non-pregnancy-related" components and simulated the impact of reductions in pregnancy-related...
