Learning Natural Sciences in Vocational Schools requires an assessment that emphasizes the scientific process and learning outcomes related to natural events around. But in reality until now science learning is still centered on the teacher and during learning more use textbooks and assessment only in the form of a written test at the end of the lesson. This results in low student performance skills and learning outcomes. One of the supporters who can practice the performance skills and student learning outcomes is a learning tool based on guided inquiry. This study aims to determine the appropriateness of guided inquiry-based science learning tools to practice vocational student performance skills. The device development is based on the Dick & Carey development research model so as to produce learning devices that are tested to the field test stage. The validity of the device is validated by experts, then in this observation also observes the activities of teachers and students, student responses, the influence of the use of learning tools, and student performance skills.

The imaginative writer always aims at presenting a story to the audience (readers) that is not only interesting but appears to be true so as to keep them in love with his work. The literary creative writer skillfully mixes his imagination with the material obtained from the society to produce a piece that is a reflection of the realities of his environment. This paper therefore, examines Trevor Rhone’s Smile Orange from a realist perspective. The paper reveals that the themes and literary techniques the author has adopted deepen our knowledge of the Caribbean Islands, particularly Jamaica whose socio-economic realities are sampled by the author. Through realism, as a literary theory, racism and sexuality among other thematic preoccupations and literary techniques like satire and the use of a creolised English, this paper appreciates Smile Orange as a piece that brings us face to face with the real experiences of the Caribbean. The history of the Caribbean has been captured in the paper to give the reader an insight into what the literature of the people may contain if it is realistic. The author is able to give us another dimension of the economic and social problems of Jamaica using the tourist industry as an example. By presenting those issues without making any revolutionary move makes the playwright a critical realist.

The phenomenon of crime from time to time shows an increasing trend in graph, both in quantity and quality, but such increase is not balanced with the ability to resolve the crimes. The average ability of the investigators to resolve crimes that occur is approximately only 47%. Law enforcement for various types of crimes is generally carried out through the mechanisms or procedures that are regulated in the Criminal Procedure Code, namely through the Criminal Justice System (SPP). This is as a result of using positivistic paradigm in the law enforcement. Law is only understood as a mere law. Therefore, in resolving criminal cases, the figure of police, who not only understand the text of rules of law but also the contextual aspects of case, is necessary. Such police figure can be referred to as Progressive Police, namely police who are willing to think and act out of the box so that they are not confined to rules (rule bounded). In Riau Islands, contextual crimes frequently occur so that they need to be handled contextually by the police. The actions are carried out through restorative justice, specifically through the Partnership Forum of Police and Society (FKPM). This study was conducted to elaborate the characteristics of Progressive Police and create "police gentlement" so as to be able to solve contextual crimes through restorative justice.

Background: Genu varum (bow leg) is a deformity of the knee marked by medial angulations of the leg in relation to the thigh, an outward bowing of the legs, giving the appearance of a bow. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of genu varum among children between 6-10 years old in some Urhobo communities in Delta state, Southern Nigeria. Materials and Methods: The study populations were drawn by purposive sampling from Ughelli, Warri, and Sapele. Data were collected on 1000 children (500 males and 500 females). Physical examination of the children was carried out by measuring their medial intercondylar distances by using calipers and meter rule while the children stood erect with their ankles touching. Children with medial intercondylar distances greater than 0.2cm (the mean value for normal Nigeria children) demonstrates the deformity (genu varum) and the frequency, age. sex was recorded. Results and Discussions: Based on this data, 43 in 1000 volunteers had genu varum. It was also seen that the prevalence was highest in 6 years old age group and lowest in 10 years old age group. It was noted as the ages increase, the prevalence rates among the age groups decreases. The prevalence of this deformity in Urhobo communities is low when compared with the overall prevalence in Nigeria. The Urhobos live in the riverine area of Southern Nigeria and their occupation are mainly farming, hunting and fishing. Their meals consists mainly of products from the farm, hunting and sea foods which are very rich in protein/calcium. Children in Urhobo Communities are also well exposed to sunlight. Conclusion: The prevalence of this genu varum in this ethnic nationality although low can be further reduced with enlightenment and education of parents and children on the importance of balanced diet.

Psoriatic rheumatism has seen many recent therapeutic advances, as well as new recommendations highlighting the importance of specifying certain prognostic factors in order to manage this condition early. To this end, 63 patients were studied for psoriatic rheumatism, comparing those with clinical and/or radiographic progression of the disease with those whose rheumatism is in a state of so-called minimal activity. A significant correlation was found with the extent of cutaneous psoriasis, polyarticular involvement and biological inflammatory syndrome. Our results were then compared with those in the literature.
