The Importance of Learning First Aid for Indonesian People

Jakarta, Indonesia's position on the Ring of Fire at risk of disasters such asearthquakes, tsunamis, floods, forest fires. Unfortunately ordinary people in Indonesiahave never prepared for disasters both natural disasters and disasters caused byman himself.

After a disaster, not only material loss is concerned, but certainly also the lives of thevictims. It must be realized that the handling of the first victims of the disaster is very dependent of the actions of rescuers in the field.

Doctors in hospitals often find victims rescued in a way that is not true that actuallyworsen the condition of the victim. Though the actual number of victims could be saved with simple measures.

Health team must have have a member specifically trained to assist victims ofdisaster. But their arrival takes time. On the other hand, the survivors can actuallyperform first aid as soon as possible before medical teams arrived.

Perhaps this is the reason for every disaster in Indonesia, the victim is always morethan the disaster similar to or greater that occurred in other countries. Becausepeople do not really understand about first aid.

Emergency first aid to not only apply to the disaster. This knowledge is very usefulalso in case of road accidents, the victim sinks, gas stove explosion, friends suddenlyfainted, and so forth.

The problem is the high cost of this kind of training. Though this training is veryimportant to note for the general public. From this it may be advisable for the holding of the basic emergency training to the public.

Emergency training topics have also been designed in such a way that is very easy tounderstand, so to be applied at any appropriate school.

Learn More Easily Understood with Mind Mapping Technique

Jakarta, many students fail to comprehend the lesson material. According to experts it is because students are not taught first how to study. Students should be taught first how to learn so they can understand the lesson.
Due to not knowing the correct way of learning, learning is sometimes a burden for most students. While good grades are needed for students to pass examinations or take a class.
But with the technique of Mind Mapping, learning can be very effective and well targeted. Mind Mapping technique or mind mapping or mind maps can facilitate students to understand more clearly the lesson.
Mind Mapping technique was first dipopuplerkan by a psychologist named Dr. Tony Buzzan in 1970 and became known in Indonesia since the early 1990s.
Mind Mapping technique relies on image and relationship with each other by using pictures, words, numbers, logic and the color becomes a unique way.
Principles of Mind Mapping is a way summarizes all the lessons learned that are not linear (top to bottom) but branched. With the summary it easier for people to memorize and understand.
Starting learning with Mind Mapping, initially by determining a material that will be studied by drawing in the middle of a blank page.
For example, are studying galaxy, write the word galaxy in the midst of here start contrived branches. Branch was the first instance what the galaxy, where the galaxy two branches, three branches are included galaxies.
Then from these branches can grow again the other branches in each branch. For example the first branch of what is a galaxy to grow more branches into what form galaxies. So then with the other branches.
With this in mind the existence of maps students become more easily understand the plot. When there is a test with questions such as what form the galaxy, he will remember the location of the branch where.
So the subject matter such as 20 pages can be summed up in one page of Mind Mapping.
How effective learning with Mind Mapping?
"Mind Mapping is an effective learning techniques, and for people with visual learning style mind mapping then this would be very helpful," said Vitriani Sumarlis, MSI, Psi detikHealth when contacted on Tuesday (04/12/2011).
Vitri said with Mind Mapping complex information generally will be converted into more simple in one page only, so the thinking process becomes more systematic.
Meanwhile, for those who have non-visual learning style, Mind Mapping can still be useful for example by using auditory assistance. Vitri exemplifies one of his students more easily understand the information after being given with the help of Mind Mapping auditory or explanation from the teacher.
"Mind Mapping is also helpful for children who study hard," said Vitri who is also a psychologist at the elementary Pantara Jakarta.
Vitri express this because the Mind Mapping helps a person more easily learn a way to organize all the information it receives to be more concise, and make connections between one information with other information more clearly visible.
For example, someone wants to explain about the food, then he could draw a line to the side to the other lines for fruit and vegetables. Later vegetables subdivided into green leafy vegetables and vegetables are not green.
So if anyone mentions the word apple, grape, kale or spinach, then someone will be more easily categorizes and classifies all the words are common in food.
Mind Mapping Techniques learned can be taught from such children at the elementary school grades 3-4, begin to be introduced but with the help and guidance from the teacher because the child has not been able to create your own.
"It is expected that later if the child enters primary school 4-5 grade kids can create their own mapping, although still in a simple form, because the essence of Mind Mapping is to provide concepts and frame of mind," said Vitri.
In Mind Mapping a general concept or a large derivatives will be developed into a smaller, and for creative people to make it into an attractive form of visualization that make it easier to learn.
Vitri explain the visualization that is formed of Mind Mapping will make someone's imagination becomes more manifest or imaginary which makes it easier to understand and can stimulate one's creativity.
To be more attractive and easier to understand someone should make Mind Mapping from a concept by using multiple colors, making it easier for him to learn a thing by looking at the relationships that are formed from the keyword color and picture.
"Even so every method of learning there are advantages and disadvantages. If the material is about the concept of Mind Mapping is nice, but if not detail matters such as hapalan figures or historical events then Mind Mapping is not very good," he said.
Therefore if you have problems in learning or difficult to understand a concept, there's no harm in trying to do mind mapping (mind map) so that information related to this concept more clearly visible and facilitate the process of understanding. 

Children Mimic Parents in Overcoming Pain

Most of the children will
imitate the behavior of those
around him. Now recent
studies indicate that the
behavior of the family can
affect how children cope with pain. The study was
conducted by researchers
from University Hospital Split,
Croatia and the results have
been published online in the
International Journal of Behavioral Medicine. It is
assessed by the researchers in
this study is pain
catastrophizing or excessive
negative mental state in
response to actual pain or the anticipation of pain. "We
found that pain
catastrophizing scores on the
parents could be predicted
from the results obtained her
child, regardless of the level of pain actually experienced,"
said Suzyen Kraljevic from
Split University Hospital, as
quoted from HealthDay,
Friday (04/15/2011). The
researchers concluded this because during childhood,
parents are models to be
emulated by their children. He
will observe how the parents
manage the sadness and the
pain they experienced and practiced in a similar context.
"Families can develop specific
cognitive style when dealing
with the pain," he said.
Children generally will imitate
what they see in a concrete, whereas the maximum
undeveloped reasoning. This
makes it absorb whatever he
saw and thought that's what
I do if I experience pain. For
that parents must be a good model and give examples of
behaviors in children including
how the proper way to
address the pain that appears.

Early Signs Not Menstruation Puberty Girls

Not a few people who think
that the first menstruation in
girls is without early child
enters puberty. But
menstruation is not the
beginning of puberty. Then what? "Most people say that
menstruation is the beginning
of female puberty. Though
menstruation is a sign of the
end of puberty," said Dr.
Aditya Suryansyah Semendawai, Sp.A, the show
Talkshow Media and Book
Launch 'Panic At Puber? Say
No! " in Magenta Cafe, Pacific
Place, Jakarta, Wednesday
(06/04/2011). Dr. Adit describes early signs of
puberty in girls is a change in
the breast. "Breasts will look
started to grow, like a small
hill with the nipple (areola)
wide. This was followed by growth of pubic hair, body
odor, acne, high acceleration
and weight," said Dr. Aditya
who is a pediatrician in RSAB
Harapan Kita. Well, first
menstruation in girls normally will occur approximately two
years after the initial breast
enlargement. "So
menstruation in girls is not the
beginning of puberty, but the
end of puberty," said Dr. Aditya. Dr. Aditya also
explained that early puberty
in girls is common in the age
range 8 to 13 years, whereas
in boys happened at the age
of 9 to 14 years. "So if the child has grown breasts since
the age of 8 years, then her
periods around the age of 10
years," said dr Aditya who
studied the problem of
growth hormone. Beginning of the coming age of puberty
also varies in each child. There
are several factors which
affect, among others, as noted
Dr. Aditya is: Ethnic Social
conditions Psychological Nutrition Chronic Disease
Activity "Some of these
factors can also lead to
children experiencing early
puberty or even puberty
late," said Dr. Aditya.
