Inclusive Education and Critical Pedagogy at the Intersections of Disability, Race, Gender and Class.

The paper aims to use insights from critical pedagogy to forge and exemplify links with the movement of educational inclusion. The struggles for change, theorised in terms of the emancipatory and liberating potential of schooling, set out the conceptual and analytical backdrop against which issues of exclusion and marginalisation are discussed and reflected upon. The emancipatory and transformative roles of schools, as sites of power interplays at the interstices of disability, race, socioeconomic background and gender, are placed at the core of the analytical framework, with a view to highlighting the contextual and political ways against which notions of “need” and “disadvantage” are constructed, reified and perpetuated in dominant conceptualisations of schooling and pedagogy. It is suggested that the emancipatory potential of schooling entails transcending traditional constructions and arbitrations of the “ideal student”, embodied in Western-centric and neoliberal constructions of pedagogical discourse. The notion of intersectionality, as perceived and exemplified in relation to insights from critical pedagogy and critical disability studies, is presented as an emancipatory theoretical and analytical tool in interrogating and deconstructing educational discourses of individual and social pathology that evoke and legitimize the constitution of the “non-ideal student” in current schooling.
Morphology, drug release, antibacterial, cell proliferation, and histology studies of chamomile-loaded wound dressing mats based on electrospun nanofibrous poly(ɛ-caprolactone)/polystyrene blends.

For the first time, it has been tried to achieve optimum conditions for electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone)/polystyrene (PCL/PS) nanofibrous samples as active wound dressings containing chamomile via D-optimal design approach. In this work, systematic in vitro and in vivo studies were carried out by drug release rate, antibacterial and antifungal evaluations, cell culture, and rat wound model along with histology observation. The optimized samples were prepared under the following electrospinning conditions: PCL/PS ratio (65/35), PCL concentration 9%(w/v), PS concentration 14%(w/v), distance between the syringe needle tip and the collector 15.5 cm, applied voltage 18 kV, and solution flow rate 0.46 mL h(-1) . The FE-SEM micrographs showed electrospun PCL/PS (65/35) nanofibrous sample containing 15% chamomile had a minimum average diameter (∼175 nm) compared to the neat samples (∼268 nm). The drug released resulted in a gradual and high amount of chamomile from the optimized PCL/PS nanofibrous sample (∼70%) in respect to PCL and PS nanofibers after 48 h. This claim was also confirmed by antibacterial and antifungal evaluations in which an inhibitory zone with a diameter of about 7.6 mm was formed. The rat wound model results also indicated that the samples loaded with 15% chamomile extract were remarkably capable to heal the wounds up to 99 ± 0.5% after 14 days post-treatment periods. The adhesion of mesenchymal stem cells and their viability on the optimized samples were confirmed by MTT analysis. Also, the electrospun nanofibrous mats based on PCL/PS (65/35) showed a high efficiency in the wound closure and healing process compared to the reference sample, PCL/PS nanofibers without chamomile. Finally, the histology analysis revealed that the formation of epithelial tissues, the lack of necrosis and collagen fibers accumulation in the dermis tissues for the above optimized samples.

RAPID FABRICATION AND THERMAL PERFORMANCE OF Ag 3 SI SUPER-IONIC CONDUCTOR

Compared to the reported method, relatively high pure silver sulfide iodide (Ag3SI) crystal, a kind of super-ionic conductor, was synthesized in a more facile procedure through the designed melt-cooling technique followed by a heat-treatment at 160°C for half an hour, which is confirmed by the corresponding X-ray Diffraction patterns. Utilizing the designed differential thermal analyzer method, we investigated the dynamic mechanism of forming process of Ag3SI crystal phase after experiencing the heat-treatment, which shows that relatively high pure Ag3SI crystals are easily deposited in the melt-cooled Ag3SI sample when heat-treatment.
Practical output feedback stabilisation for a class of continuous-time dynamic systems under sample-data outputs

This article deals with a class of continuous nonlinear control systems in the presence of sampled outputs. The dynamical models under consideration are described by ordinary differential equations with additive bounded uncertainties. The linear feedback control design proposed in this article is based on an extended version of the classical invariant ellipsoid method. The stability/robustness analysis of the resulting closed-loop system involves the celebrated ‘descriptor techniques’ from the extended Lyapunov methodology. Finally, the implementability of the proposed control design scheme is illustrated by a computational example. A brief discussion on the principal numerical issues is also included.
The ideal self as the driver of intentional change

Purpose – If the ideal self is the emotional driver of intentional change, the purpose of this paper is to explore the components of a person's personal vision and how it comes from their ideal self.Design/methodology/approach – Based on the concept of the ideal self from intentional change theory, the paper examines a variety of theoretical foundations, from psychoanalytic to positive psychology. Each views the ideal self and its components as deficiencies needing therapeutic intervention or the heights of human experience and intrinsic motivation.Findings – The ideal self is a primary source of positive affect and psychophysiological arousal helping provide the drive for intentional change. Many current frameworks or theories examine only portions of this model and, therefore, leave major components unaddressed. The ideal self is composed of three major components: an image of a desired future; hope (and its constituents, self‐efficacy and optimism); and a comprehensive sense of one's core identity (pas.
Competition in the Banking Sector of Pakistan: Evidence from Unscaled and Scaled Revenue Equations1

The objective of this paper is to empirically analyze the competition in the banking sector of Pakistan spanning the period 1995-2014. Two decades ago, banking sector reforms were initiated and implemented in Pakistan to spur competition in the banking sector. To examine competition, augmented Panzar and Rosse unscaled and scaled revenue equations is estimated by controlling risk and size of banks using balanced panel data of 22 commercial. Results are robust and reveal that the commercial banks in Pakistan generate revenues in the environment of monopolistic competition and this reflects the positive impact of banking sector reforms in creation of competition among banks.
Consumers perception, purchase intention and actual purchase behavior of organic food products

The green concept and the developing of organic food are still in the infant stage in Malaysia. Therefore, there is a need to gain knowledge about the consumer’s behavior towards organic food products. Specifically, this study attempts to examine consumer’s perception, purchase intentions and actual purchase behavior and the interrelationship between them in the context of organic food products. Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior, the five steps of consumer decision making process and previous researches on organic foods , 18 items of four dimensions were constructed to measure the consumer’s perception towards organic food, 6 items were used to measure their purchase intention and six items were engaged to determine the actual purchase behavior of consumers. Data was collected in supermarkets and surrounding areas in the district of Kluang, Johor, Malaysia. A total of 288 completed questionnaires were gathered, representing 96% response rate, using convenient sampling method. The result indicated that intention to purchase organic food was significantly influenced by the consumer’s perception of safety, health, environmental factors and animal welfare of the products. Surprisingly, there was no significant effect of consumers’ perceived quality of organic food products on their intention to purchase the products. Actual purchase behavior of organic food products was significantly affected by the purchase intention of the products. Significant means differences were observed in the purchase intention of organic food products according to the respondents’ gender, age, income level, education level and residence area. Theoretically, this study supported the view of consumers’ perception towards organic food products will influence their behavioral intention and then lead to the actual purchase of the products. The findings proposed useful information to organic marketers to help them develop effective marketing strategies to convince organic-concerned segment to purchase the organic food products and to enhance the pro-environmental purchasing behavior in Malaysia.
PENERAPAN 5R SEBAGAI SALAH SATU UPAYA PENCEGAHAN KECELAKAAN KERJA DI BAGIAN PRODUKSI PT. BINTANG TERANG GEMILANG SIDOARJO

Good housekeeping or a well-Implemented 5R program is one of the administrative controls used to prevent th e occurrence work accident. The successful implementation of 5R program depends on bo th management support especially top management and workers’ active participation. The main objective of this research was to study the implementation of 5R program as an effort to preventing the occurre nce of work accident in PT. Bintang Terang Gemilang Sidoarjo. This was an observational study with cross-sectional approach. The population of this study was 60 workers employed in production unit, and these 60 workers were also the samples of the study (total Population study). The primary data were collected by means of questionnaire to interview respondents and a checklist to directly observe the work sites. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively. The results of this study showed that 5R program had been well-implemented by the company. The workers’ knowledge and their attitudes toward the implementation of 5R program were sufficiently good. The type of work accident most widely found was fall down the floor (6.67%). It is recommended that the company provide regular refreshing training on occupational safety and health to all workers, and report any work accident to the authorized institution i.e. Regional Office of Departement of Man Power.
Expected Loan Loss Provisioning: An Empirical Model

The new accounting standard requires that financial institutions estimate expected credit losses on their loan portfolios. The predictability of long-term losses, however, remains an open question. We develop a model that predicts long-term loan losses and incorporates adjustments for macroeconomic forecasts. The model combines cross-sectional predictions with a high-dimensional dynamic factor model that tracks aggregate losses over the business cycle. The model predicts long-term losses out-of-sample with significantly greater accuracy than the Harris et al. (2018) model and several other alternatives. It is also more effective at detecting bank failures. We use the model to estimate the present value of expected losses and the expected loss overhang for a given bank-quarter. The estimated present values subsume information in reported allowances and in fair value disclosures about long-term losses; the evidence is also consistent with loss overhang distorting banks' decisions. The model provides a useful benchmark to study loan loss provisioning.
Managing Capital Flows in the Presence of External Risks

We introduce external risks, in the form of shocks to the level and volatility of world interest rates, into a small open economy model subject to the risk of sudden stops? large recessions together with abrupt reversals in capital inflows| and characterize optimal macroprudential policy in response to these shocks. In the model, collateral constraints create a pecuniary externality that leads to "overborrowing" and sudden stops that arise when the constraints bind. The typical sudden stop generated by the model replicates existing empirical evidence for emerging market economies: Low and stable external interest rates reinforce "overborrowing" and lead to greater exposure to crises typically accompanied by abrupt increases in interest rates and a persistent rise in their volatility. We solve for the optimal policy and argue that the size of a tax on international borrowing that implements the policy depends on two factors, the incidence and the severity of potential future crises. We show quantitatively that these taxes respond to both the level and volatility of interest rates even though optimal decisions in the competitive equilibrium do not respond substantially to changes in volatility, and that the size of the optimal tax is non-monotonic with respect to external shocks.

Mechanisms Underlying Maternal Venous Adaptation in Pregnancy

To define the effects of pregnancy on mechanical properties and reactivity, mesenteric veins from late pregnant and virgin control (nonpregnant) rats were pressurized to determine gestational changes in size and distensibility. Reactivity studies used an adrenergic constrictor (norepinephrine) and an endothelium-mediated vasodilator (acetylcholine). The contribution of nitric oxide to endothelial function was evaluated with pharmacologic inhibition of nitric oxide synthase. Roles of nitric oxide and cyclic guanosine monophosphate in smooth muscle vasodilation were determined using an nitric oxide donor with and without cyclic guanosine monophosphate inhibition using ODQ, a selective inhibitor of guanylyl cyclase. In pregnancy, endothelium-dependent vasodilation markedly increased (largely due to endogenous nitric oxide), smooth muscle response to nitric oxide decreased (primarily related to cyclic guanosine monophosphate production), and norepinephrine sensitivity decreased considerably, with no changes in vessel size or distensibility. Our results identify a provasodilatory state in the systemic venous system, which would serve to facilitate the accommodation to plasma volume expansion requisite for normal pregnancy.
Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment

For more than twenty years, serious C programmers have relied on one book for practical, in-depth knowledge of the programming interfaces that drive the UNIX and Linux kernels: W. Richard Stevens Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment . Now, once again, Richs colleague Steve Rago has thoroughly updated this classic work. The new third edition supports todays leading platforms, reflects new technical advances and best practices, and aligns with Version 4 of the Single UNIX Specification. Steve carefully retains the spirit and approach that have made this book so valuable. Building on Richs pioneering work, he begins with files, directories, and processes, carefully laying the groundwork for more advanced techniques, such as signal handling and terminal I/O. He also thoroughly covers threads and multithreaded programming, and socket-based IPC. This edition covers more than seventy new interfaces, including POSIX asynchronous I/O, spin locks, barriers, and POSIX semaphores. Most obsolete interfaces have been removed, except for a few that are ubiquitous. Nearly all examples have been tested on four modern platforms: Solaris 10, Mac OS X version 10.6. 8 (Darwin 10.8.0), FreeBSD 8.0, and Ubuntu version 12.04 (based on Linux 3.2). As in previous editions, youll learn through examples, including more than ten thousand lines of downloadable, ISO C source code. More than four hundred system calls and functions are demonstrated with concise, complete programs that clearly illustrate their usage, arguments, and return values. To tie together what youve learned, the book presents several chapter-length case studies, each reflecting contemporary environments. Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment has helped generations of programmers write code with exceptional power, performance, and reliability. Now updated for todays systems, this third edition will be even more valuable.
