This study aims to determine the difference in academic stress levels of male and female students during distance learning. This research is descriptive comparative research. The subjects in this study were students of class XI at SMA Negeri in Surakarta. The research data were analyzed using the Independent Sample Test to determine whether there were differences in the academic stress levels of male and female students during distance learning. Based on the analysis results, male students had an average of 43.74, and female students experienced academic stress with an average of 47.27. The results of the Independent Sample Test show the value of Sig. 0.009 (0.009 <0.05), so this result indicated differences in the level of academic stress experienced by male and female students during distance learning.

Modified of Cakar Ayam System (CAM) is a system that uses galvanized steel pipes as stiffener plate. This system had been implemented on the trial road of Pamanukan-Indramayu, Indonesia. Many advantages are obtained from the use of this system, for example reduction on deflection, durability, and application on road pavement. Full scale trials had been conducted in Indonesia, for the examples, the Waru-Surabaya Highway and Section IV Highway, Makassar. Despite this system is widely used but there are still many problems occur such as deflection and crack due to less plate thickness. This research will discuss about the deflection, moment and shear force of plate model on soft base ground using Finite Element Method (FEM). The system configurations for concrete plate applied in this research were 7.25 m in width and 14.0 m in length with thickness was varied by 0.15 m, 0.18 m and 0.22 m using 21 cakars. The loads represented semi-trailer truck loading with the weight of each axle propagated into 2 equal uniform loads. The position of test loading points were made in several variations to determine the largest deflection value. If the plate got thicker then, its stiffness value would increase and the deflection accorded smaller result. By using CAM System, cakar could function as a load restraint and plate grip. The stiffness of the plate would increase when the plate was applied with the CAM System and could reduce deflection by 2.74% to 39.77%. On the effect on the moment and shear force, it was found that the thicker the plate, the greater the moment and shear force value obtained. The difference in the value of the moment obtained from the comparison between the plate using the CAM System and the plate without the CAM System was 0.23% to 1.60%, while for shear force values, the difference was 7.56% to 11.19%.

Despite ample studies on EFL learners' perception in vocabulary learning, little research has shown the information from vocabulary test to examine students' challenges in learning vocabulary. This study investigated the shortcomings faced by EFL students in a reputable private high school during English vocabulary learning. This study made use of a preliminary study where the researchers collected the data from the vocabulary test as an instrument to measure students' competence in identifying, understanding, and using vocabulary. The findings show that the students had difficulty in choosing correct-meaning words rather than identifying synonyms and antonyms. This study asserts the problems students face in learning vocabulary, increases students' awareness of the importance of learning English vocabulary, and further researchers can explore more effective vocabulary learning strategies and promote teachers to make learning activities that can improve students' vocabulary mastery.

<p>Masyarakat dunia termasuk Indonesia sedang berjuang melawan wabah COVID-19 yang secara resmi oleh WHO dinyatakan sebagai pandemi global. Masifnya penyebaran COVID-19 mengharuskan pemerintah menerapkan beberapa kebijakan yang mayoritas bersifat pembatasan seperti Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar dan beragam pembatasan aktivitas tatap muka. Kondisi darurat ini berdampak pada aspek kesehatan mental. Banyak negara di dunia mengalami keresahan yang sama seperti kondisi masyarakat terdeteksi mengalami stres, cemas, depresi, PTSD, bahkan muncul kecenderungan untuk mengakhiri hidup. Realitas tersebut mendorong konselor sebagai bagian dari masyarakat, untuk mengoptimalkan perannya mewujudkan kembali kesehatan mental publik melalui pelaksanaan layanan konseling jarak jauh <em>online. </em>Konseling <em>online </em>akan mampu memperluas jangkauan konselor dan mempermudah akses konseli saat ini, serta dilaksanakan berdasarkan fondasi pengetahuan, keterampilan konselor, etika, isu-isu, termasuk prosedur profesional pelaksanaan konseling <em>online. </em>Hasil telaah literatur berikut diharapkan mampu memperdalam wawasan konselor masa kini dan menjadi modal kuat untuk menyelenggarakan konseling <em>online</em> efektif serta berdaya guna pada masa pandemi.</p>
