CAREGIVERS’ ROLES IN ENHANCING SOCIO-COMMUNICATION SKILLS IN CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER IN A SELECTED NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION FOR PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER, NAIROBI COUNTY, KENYA
Authors: Mukewa Magdalen N. , Wairungu George Mathenge
Published: March 2024

Caregivers (parents and guardians) of children with ASD play an integral role in early intervention for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) since they spend more time interacting and providing formal care for their children; they are supposed to provide early diagnosis and ongoing intervention to mitigate socio-communication challenges for their children. Some caregivers, however, lack knowledge and expertise on their roles in this resulting in miscommunication, unmet needs, and frustration. The purpose of this study was to establish caregivers’ extent of involvement in Speech and Language Pathology Services (SLP) in enhancing the socio-communication skills of children with ASD. The study was guided by Structural Functional Theory (SFT) by Comte. The study adopted a descriptive survey design with a mixed-method research approach. It targeted a population of 38 respondents comprising of thirty-six caregivers, one occupational therapist from a nongovernmental organization of parents with ASD, and one Speech and Language Pathologist (SLP) outside a nongovernmental organization. The study employed a purposive sampling technique, and the pilot study was undertaken among caregivers of children with ASD b with the same characteristics as the target population. The key research instruments were questionnaires and face-to-face interviews. Quantitative data from closed-ended items were examined and coded. This was followed by analysis with the aid of SPSS version 26. The data was reported usinge descriptive statistics. Qualitative data we read repeatedly to establish patterns and then themes. It was reported narratively. Conclusions were drawn and necessary recommendations were made based on research findings. The research found that caregivers’ involvement was critical in enhancing the acquisition of socio-communication skills. The study recommends government and non-governmental organizations of parents with ASD children promote more caregiver participation by creating more awareness of SLP services, recruiting more SLPs locally, offering comprehensive training, and coaching caregivers on SLP strategies.

The study investigated parenting styles as a correlates of teenage pregnancy among adolescents in public secondary schools in Enugu State. Four research questions guided the study and four null hypotheses were tested at a .05 level of significance. The correlation research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised 9,974 senior secondary school two (SS II) female adolescent students, in the 292 public secondary schools in Enugu State. A sample of 996 female adolescent students was drawn for the study through a multi-stage sampling technique. Structured questionnaires titled Parenting Styles Questionnaire (PSQ) and Teenage Pregnancy Questionnaire (TPQ) were used for data collection. The instrument was face and construct validated by three experts; while the construct validation was ascertained using the Varimax Rotation Method. Internal consistency coefficients of 0.89, 0.91, 0.90, and 0.86; 0.92, and 0.89; were obtained for PSQ and TPQ respectively, using Cronbach Alpha statistical method. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Co-efficient, simple linear regression, and multiple linear regression statistics were utilized for data analysis. The p-value was used to determine the significant difference at a .05 level of significance for all hypotheses. The findings of the study revealed that there was a low positive significant relationship between authoritative parenting style and teenage pregnancy. The result also showed that there was a high positive significant relationship between authoritarian parenting style and teenage pregnancy. It was equally found that there was a highly positive significant relationship between permissive parenting style and teenage pregnancy. Finally, the result indicated that there was a very high positive significant relationship between neglectful parenting style and teenage pregnancy. Based on the findings, the study recommended among others that the school management and parents should ensure that the home and school environment are well protected to shield the children from exposure to negative influences, by being concerned about the well-being of the girl child through education about sex, sexuality and the danger inherent. Social welfare agencies (public and private) should re-double their efforts in educating, counselling, and rehabilitation of victims of teenage pregnancy.

Authors: Drossinou Korea Maria , Panagiotis Alexopoulos
Published: March 2024

This literature review aims to create a connection between Special Education and Training (SET) with Artificial Intelligence (ΑΙ), specifically focusing on machine learning language models. These systems analyze language structures and rapidly generate text that closely resembles human expression. While AI tools have been present since the last century, global technological and research interest in AI experienced resurgence in November 2022 with the release of ChatGPT, a machine learning language model –“chatbot”. The introduction of this tool raised expectations for its potential in educating individuals with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SENDs). However, the literature also highlights concerns about potential risks and challenges associated with the widespread use of such tools in education. This paper explores the intersection of Special Education and Training goals and Large Language Models (LLM), presenting in the results the potential benefits and risks that may emerge from this interaction.

INVESTIGATING THE LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT OF INDIVIDUALS WITH DOWN SYNDROME, AND HIGHLIGHTING THE IMPORTANCE OF SPEECH THERAPY
Authors: Chaldi Dimitra , Karagiannidou Antonia
Published: March 2024

Down syndrome is the most common viable numerical chromosomal abnormality, affecting one in every 600 births. It is the most common cause of intellectual disability due to genetic factors. Nearly all individuals with this syndrome have an extra copy of the 21st, leading to cognitive and physical disabilities. Down syndrome can be detected through prenatal screening and is classified into three categories: trisomy 21, mosaicism, and translocation. The main aim of this study is to investigate the linguistic characteristics of people with Down syndrome and demonstrate the value of speech therapy. Statistical analysis shows that the linguistic development of individuals with Down syndrome differs in every subsection from normal development. There are deficiencies not only in their linguistic development (i.e., phonology, morphology, syntax, and pragmatics) but also in many cognitive categories (e.g., memory). Furthermore, this study confirmed the value of speech therapy through personalized intervention. However, we found that the speech therapists who participated in this survey did not have the appropriate expertise. Their knowledge of Down syndrome was good, but they needed a deeper understanding of the syndrome.

Authors:   Lecture, Kampala International University, Dept. Public Administration and Development Studies, Western Campus-Uganda, F. S Omweri,
Published: March 2024

The institutional environment, including staff competence, resource use, and school culture, significantly contributes to student failure, as these factors are major macro-environmental factors. The institutional environment can therefore play a positive role in students' academic performance and improvement. This study examined the complex relationship between core competencies, institutional culture, resource utilization, and academic performance in the field of education. The independent variables consisted of core competencies such as teacher experience, in-service training, and teaching methods; institutional culture, which included rules and regulations, mission and vision, and school routines; and resource utilization, which encompassed instructional materials, infrastructure, and compensation. The dependent variable was academic performance, assessed through student academic scores, transition rates, and completion rates. A qualitative approach was utilized, employing desktop analysis of secondary data. The results revealed significant correlations between core competencies, institutional culture, resource utilization, and academic performance. Educators with extensive experience and relevant training, operating within a supportive institutional culture characterized by clear rules and regulations and a compelling mission and vision, were associated with improved student academic scores, higher transition rates, and increased completion rates. Furthermore, proper allocation of resources, including high-quality instructional materials, robust infrastructure, and competitive compensation for educators, positively influenced academic performance outcomes. These findings emphasize the importance of investing in teacher development, cultivating a positive institutional culture, and optimizing resource allocation to enhance academic performance and promote student success. The study recommends targeted interventions to improve core competencies among educators, foster a supportive institutional environment, and prioritize resource allocation to support effective teaching and learning practices. By implementing these recommendations, educational institutions can create an environment conducive to academic excellence and enhance positive student outcomes.

The benefits of an educated citizenry have been acknowledged widely as their contribution to governance is apparent including their participation in the production of services. As a result, citizens are increasingly involved in critical decisions of the state through public participation. It is on this basis that the study sought to examine the role of literacy levels on the relationship between coproduction and performance. Data was obtained from round 9 of the Afrobarometer survey. A sample of 2400 respondents was identified using a stratified random sampling technique. The sample was spread across the 47 counties of Kenya. A total of 8 Enumeration Areas (EAs) of 300 samples were selected. Probability Proportionate to Population Size (PPPS) was used to randomly choose population Sampling Units (PSUs). Data was collected using a structured questionnaire and administered by research assistants. The study established that the performance of county governments was below the citizens expectation. Nevertheless, there was a significant relationship between co production and performance for the respondents with basic and tertiary education clusters as opposed to those with informal education. The finding builds the existing literature on co production, literacy and performance and helps stakeholders to create polices to support the co production framework and establish an environment for promoting literacy of citizens.

Many people who live in rural areas with low disposable income are unable to acquire clean energy. This means that they are exposed to respiratory diseases and are more likely to encounter unbearable healthcare expenditures. But when stakeholders are responsive, they create a healthcare system that offers affordable and accessible and encourages the use of clean energy. When health care expenditure is high, many poor households struggle to access the services, particularly for households not covered by health insurance. Therefore, the current study sought to examine the moderating role of income on the relationship between domestic energy options and healthcare expenditure. The study used a cross-sectional research design and collected data from a random sample osf 384 households from Kisii County. The data was collected using a structured questionnaire. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings show that most of the households were earning less than Ksh. 30,000 a month. Similarly, more than two-thirds of the households relied on solid biomass including firewood and charcoal for cooking. Findings show that domestic energy options have a significant relationship with healthcare expenditure for households in Kisii County. However, income does not moderate the relationship between domestic energy options and healthcare expenditure. The findings help policymakers to improve the uptake of clean energy options among households by subsidizing the cost of clean energy or removing tax on the products. The findings also encourage the uptake of universal healthcare among poor populations to reduce incidences of catastrophic healthcare expenditure.

Authors: Dai Tiejun , Zhao Yazhe
Published: March 2024

Abstract

A comprehensive analysis of the carbon emission profile of Chinese provinces from multiple perspectives is required to develop equitable and effective policies to reduce carbon emissions. This study estimates the carbon dioxide (CO2) emission responsibilities of China’s 30 provinces and 22 sectors from production, consumption, and income-based perspectives from 2012 to 2017. Structural decomposition analysis (SDA) is used to determine the driving forces of changes in CO2 emissions in China from 2012 to 2017. The results indicate the following. (1) The dominant CO2 emission sectors are the Electric Power, Steam, and Hot Water industry and the Smelting and Pressing of Metals industry. (2) The scale effect of the initial input is the dominant factor affecting the growth of CO2 emissions, followed by the scale effect of the final demand from 2012 to 2017. (3) The structural effect of the production output is the primary carbon reduction factor, followed by the structural effect of the intermediate product input and the carbon intensity effect. Based on these results, recommendations are provided to reduce CO2 emissions, such as developing green and low-carbon technologies, revising and optimizing the energy composition, accelerating the green transition, and a science-based approach to investment.

On the curious association of diaphragmatic hernia and Urban-Rifkin-Davis Syndrome (Autosomal Recessive Cutis Laxa-1C): A collective review of 16 cases
Authors: Raveenthiran V , Darun Nagarajan , Pavithra Dhayalan , Gambhir Prakash
Published: March 2024

Background: Autosomal recessive cutis laxa type-1C is also known as Urban-Rifkin-Davis syndrome (URDS). It is known to affect cardiopulmonary, integumentary, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal and genitourinary systems. However, its frequent association with congenital diaphragmatic hernia has not previously been highlighted.
Case Presentation: A newborn male with cutis laxa presented with respiratory distress at birth. The cause of dyspnoea was perinatal strangulation of the stomach in hiatus hernia. After surgical repair of the hernia, his respiratory distress temporarily improved but kept recurring periodically by various mechanisms in sequence namely pulmonary hypertension, tracheomalacia, pulmonary emphysema and finally he succumbed to pneumothorax. Genetic analysis revealed his skin condition as autosomal recessive cutis laxa type-1C which is also known as URDS. Exome sequencing revealed a novel frameshift mutation c.426delC (p.Cys143Alafs*41) of the LTBP4 gene in the exon 5 of Chromosome 19. 
Conclusion: Out of the 28 cases of URDS reported in the world literature 57% had congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and 53% of them died during infancy. Such a high incidence of CDH is not observed in other subtypes of elastic disorders. Thus, congenital diaphragmatic defects appear to be a characteristic diagnostic feature of URDS in patients with cutis laxa.

Women who are represented in the Regency/City DPRD have not yet reached the 30% quota as mandated by the law. The number of women's representation proves that the mandate of the law has not been carried out as it should. The aspirations of women in their political activities are still not respected, there are still many policies that are made that are still biased, women are considered not capable of entering the political sphere, men who should be included in the political arena are men. Many political parties in Indonesia have not accommodated women's rights, especially providing political education to women. Whereas the mandate of the law requires every political party, both national political parties and local parties in several provinces in Indonesia. However, the next obstacle that arises is the understanding of culture that is difficult to overhaul in the social order, some people still hold the principle of patriarchy in which the subordination of men is more dominant than women, so that the capacity of women who want to exist in the political field is hindered. Weaknesses and responsibilities of women in the family sphere are used as reasons to marginalize women's political rights. The biggest homework for the Indonesian people is to raise awareness to the people who are still bound by the cultural system that men and women have the same qualities to assume positions as leaders.

Islamic economics is going well and smoothly. For this reason, it is important to do this research through studies of the existing literature. This study resulted that the Islamic economic methodology was created based on an Islamic worldview where economic reality in a comprehensive perspective consists of spiritual, material, and moral dimensions. The discourse on Islamic economics methodology must be developed from only providing an Islamic perspective on the theories and structures of conventional economics (in other words, the Islamization of science), to something purer and giving birth to theories and developing Islamic scientific and economic structures themselves.
