Selected determinants of the attitudes of educational staff towards inclusive education
Authors: Czyż Anna Katarzyna
Published: October 2020

The article brings up extremely important issues for disabled people: selected conditions for the success of the educational inclusion process. The research was conducted in a positivist paradigm and was focused on the attitudes of teachers and determinants of these attitudes. For diagnostic purposes, the research tool “Scale for Testing Teachers’ Attitudes Towards Inclusive Education” was used. A total of 363 teachers, school counselors, and school psychologists took part in the study. They represented levels of education from kindergarten to middle school (which is currently part of primary school in any case). Both special and mainstream schools were represented in the study. Variables such as age, type of institution, level of education, and position were taken into account. The results confirmed the hypoth- eses that some variables—type of institution, level of education, and position—significantly discriminate the results of the groups.
A review of studies on developing a school prophylactic program to prevent social exclusionA Review of Research Reports on Developing a School Prophylactic Program Preventing Social Exclusion
Authors: Kusztal Justyna , Piasecka Małgorzata
Published: October 2020

The aim of the article is to present scientific research based on an analysis of data concerning aggression in terms of pupils feeling inse- cure or vulnerable at school. The analysis was carried out as a systematic review of reports discussing research conducted in Poland. The article presents the evidence-based practice approach as a theo- retical basis for the analysis, and the chosen research method—i.e., systematic review. The results of the research that is interpreted in the narrative synthesis indicate varied substantive and methodological value among the 33 analyzed reports, whose research objectives most often focused on determining the scale of aggression in schools and the factors that determine it. Conclusions and recommendations stemming from the survey of secondary sources are important, both for interdisciplinary theories constituting the basis for social preven- tion and preventative practice, especially for school pedagogues, who are responsible for implementing educational/prophylactic programs in schools and educational institutions. Prophylactic strategies refer directly to the exclusion–inclusion continuum, having the potential to prevent the appearance and perseverance of problematic behavior, which may consequently lead to social exclusion.
Implementing augmentative and alternative communication at a rehabilitation & educational center (specialists’ inteinteraction with the family)
Authors: Kochanowicz Aneta Maria
Published: October 2020

Close cooperation between the home environment and the educational setting is an important element of the effectiveness of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). The author’s aim was to examine the quality of this cooperation using the example (case study) of one of Poland’s Rehabilitation and Education Centers (OREs) in Wrocław. The author carried out an evaluation study in parallel with the center’s internal evaluation. She used a survey addressed to teach- ers, specialists, and parents, as well as individual conversations, docu- ment analysis, and observation. The practical effect of the evaluation study was the formulation of detailed recommendations for the cent- er. The author stated that the effectiveness of implementing AAC in work with children and young people—OREs’ participants—is low, mainly due to the inharmonious cooperation between the families and the educational center. The second important factor is the uneven use of AAC in both settings. Teachers and specialists use almost all situations during the day to establish communication with the ORE participants—they employ a variety of communication meth- ods and utilize the most modern devices—while parents, who have difficulties adequately using AAC at home, point to the high costs of the communication devices.
Children’s conceptions of knowledge and cognition: On the development of epistemic thinking in early and middle childhood
Authors: Zdybel Dorota
Published: October 2020

Metacognitive and epistemological reflection are often perceived as being beyond the perceptive and cognitive abilities of young children. Research, however, has proven that at a very early stage of develop- ment children are naturally intrigued by their own minds, observe and draw conclusions, build personal conceptions of knowledge and cognition, and quickly move from the stage of “naïve theories of mind” to reflecting on more advanced epistemological phenomena. The aim of this article is present the idea of epistemological reflection and its role in the development of children’s conceptions of knowledge and cognition. Theoretical considerations will be complemented with a research project driven by the following research questions: What is the conception of knowledge among young children? What differ- ences do they perceive between knowledge and learning? Visual and verbal explanations prepared by children will be used to present the role such personal epistemology plays in future self-regulation com- petency and in constructing children’s ability to evaluate their own learning and set new aims. In summary, the conclusions for educational practice will be discussed.

This study sought to assess how motivation affect employee retention in Savings and Credit Co-operative societies in Nairobi City County. The researcher conducted the study in SACCO societies located in Westlands sub-county.The objectives were as follows: to determine the effect of employee rewards in promoting employee retention in SACCO societies; to establish how job design affect employees retention in SACCO societies; and to evaluate how career opportunities affect employee retention in SACCO societies. The evaluation was done using questionnaires tailored towards collecting primary data in line with the objectives of the study. Due to the broad nature of the study, a descriptive research study design was used. The target population of the study was 270 SACCO societies located in Westlands sub-county. The researcher used simple random sampling to select senior staff and junior staff of employed in deposit taking SACCO societies, non-deposit taking SACCO societies, public service SACCO societies to arrive at a sample size of 83. The researcher distributed 83 questionnaires to the respondents of which 62 were returned representing a 75% response rate. The data collection instruments were checked for reliability using Cronbach’s Alpha method. The researcher used descriptive statistics to analyse data using mean and standard deviation and inferential statistics using regression analysis, and analysis of variance. The researcher employed multiple regression analysis at 5% level of significance to establish the association between the variables. The study findings established that the employee rewards, job design and career opportunities are crucial factors that positively affect retention of employees.The study recommends that SACCO societies should formulate well-structured employee rewards with supportive policies. The societies should improve on these rewards to improve the level of employee retention. The study also recommends that the SACCO societies should have a variety of career opportunities to satisfy different employee needs. The study suggest that in future, researchers should carry out a longitudinal study to establish the extent to which employee rewards, job design and career opportunities affect employee retention in SACCO societies.

Published: October 2020

Purpose To study the demographic profile and factors associated with visual outcome in patients with indirect traumatic optic neuropathy. Methods A retrospective study of patients admitted with indirect traumatic optic neuropathy, in a tertiary care centre in South India, from February 2016 to February 2018 was conducted. Patients with bony impingement on the optic nerve were treated with endoscopic surgical decompression and the rest were treated with low dose steroids. Visual acuity was assessed at presentation, 2 weeks and 3 months. Results The mean age of the patients was 31.6 years (13-75 years). 19(90.4%) patients were male and road traffic accident (95.23%) was the most common cause of injury. Mean time of presentation was 3.6 hours ( 1-7 hours) Vision at presentation was perception of light and above in 8(3.1%) and no perception of Light in 13(61.9%) patients. Visual improvement was seen in 4 out of 18 patients (22.2%) in the steroid group and 1 out of 3 patients (33.3%) in the surgery group. Visual acuity at presentation was significantly associated with final visual outcome (P=0.047). Conclusion Our study demonstrated that visual acuity at presentation was the only factor associated with final vision, irrespective of associated injuries and treatment modalities.
Съвременна диагностика на наследствените ретинални дистрофии
Authors: Мермеклиева Елена
Published: October 2020

Въведение: Наследствените ретинални дистрофии са хетерогенна група наследствени заболявания със сравнително ниска честота в човешката популация, характеризиращи се със засягане на различни слоеве на ретината, най-често комплексът ретинен пигментен епител – фоторецептори и причиняващи тежко зрително увреждане – загуба на нощно зрение, зрително поле, цветно зрение и зрителна острота в началните етапи и водещи до прогресивна и тежка загуба на зрителната функция чрез промяна в анатомията и функцията на ретината.

Цел: Да се представят съвременните диагностични методи, осигуряващи точна диагностика на наследствените ретинални дистрофии, което е от съществено значение за правилен терапевтичен подход.

Методи и резултати: С развитието на медицинската наука и технологиите се въвеждат нови, все по-усъвършенствани методи за ранна диагностика на тези заболявания – електрофизиологичните изследвания стават все по-сложни и информативни. Заедно с компютърната периметрия, оптичната кохерентна томография (OCT), ангиоОСТ, флуоресцеиновата ангиография, фундусавтофлуоресценцията и адаптивната оптика позволяват много точна топографска локализация на дефекта. А заедно с напредъка в генетиката, оптогенетиката, молекулярната биология, биохимията на ретината и регенеративната медицина, те осигуряват по-добро разбиране на механизма на тези заболявания и увеличават терапевтичните възможности.

Заключение: Познаването на съвременните методи за диагностика на наследствените ретинални дистрофии осигурява точно диагностициране на отделните нозологични единици, което е предпоставка за правилна терапия.

Хранене при пациенти с нарколепсия
Authors: Ценкова Лилия , Хубенова Михаела
Published: October 2020

Нарколепсията е неврологично заболяване, което се характеризира с хронична ексцесивна дневна сънливост, катаплексия, хипнагогни халюцинации и сънна парализа. При нарколепсия тип 1 (нарколепсия с катаплексия) се установяват ниски нива на специфичен невротрансмитер, наречен хипокретин (орексин), отговорен за регулацията на съня, апетита и телесната температура. При хора с нарколепсия броят на невроните, продуциращи хипокретин е значително понижен като при някои индивиди лиспващите неврони достигат 80-90%. Основните клинични прояви са ексцесивна дневна сънливост и нарушен сън през REM фазата. Сънната парализа, катаплексията и хипнагогните халюцинации също са сред проявите на нарколепсията.

В допълнение към медикаментозното лечение важна роля играе храненето. За да се предотврати затлъстяване при пациенти с нарколепсия е необходимо да се състави рационален режим на хранене, физическа активност и сън, изцяло съобразен с тяхното състояние. Секрецията на орексин се повишава от протеини, фибри, омега-3 мастни киселини, лактат, фруктоза, ферментирали храни и физическа активност и се понижава от захар. Препоръчителни микронутриенти за контрол на нарколепсията са калций, магнезий, холин, омега-3 мастни киселини, витамини от група В, витамин С. Освен видът на консумираната храна, влияние оказват и хранителните навици. Пропускането на закуската и нередовното хранене също се асоциират с влошено качество на съня. Лечението трябва да се придружава от съставяне на адекватен дневен и хранителен режим, включващ балансиран прием на макро- и микронутриенти, физическа активност и качествен сън.

Authors: Костадинов Костадин , Стефанов Георги , Искров Георги , Стефанов Румен
Published: October 2020

Придобитата тромботична тромбоцитопенична пурпура (пТТП) представлява рядко заболяване с разнообразна клинична манифестация, включваща фебрилитет, анемия, тромбоцитопения, неврологична симптоматика и остро бъбречно увреждане. Познато и описано първоначално през 1924 г., днес са известни патофизиоимунологичните аспекти, отличаващи го от другите тромботични васкулопатии и служещи за таргет на иновативни терапии. ТТП се разделя на наследствена и придобита форма. Придобитата може да бъде идиопатична или вторична. Актуалната класификация на Световната здравна организация дефинира ТТП към категорията на тромботичните микроангиопатии.

Изучаването на епидемиологията на пТТП представлява труден процес поради редица обективни фактори. Заболяването се характеризира със специфичен лабораторен имунологичен панел, който често е материално-технически необезпечено изследване за редица клинични центрове. Наличието на тежки клинични презентации, често срещани коморбидности и бърза летална прогресия са също пречка за установяване на реалната болестност.

Настоящата публикация има за цел да анализира епидемиологични данни за пТПП и да представи оценка за разпространението на това заболяване в България.
Envisioning a culturally safe midwifery model from the perspective of Indigenous families: A case study of midwifery care in inner city Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Authors:   , Wiscombe J. Dawn
Published: October 2020

Prenatal care is associated with improved outcomes for the mother and baby. Ongoing research in Winnipeg shows that pregnant people, especially Indigenous people, living in Winnipeg’s inner city have significantly lower rates of prenatal care than others in the city. There are no specific predictors of inadequate prenatal care among Indigenous families. Instead, being Indigenous is in and of itself a risk factor for inadequate prenatal care. This research project is a case study of culturally safe prenatal care and the role midwives can play in facilitating culturally safe prenatal care that is appropriate for Indigenous families living in Winnipeg’s inner city. It examines the decolonization of midwifery practice using pragmatic and Indigenous research paradigms. The goal was to understand, from the perspective of Indigenous midwifery clients, how midwives and other care providers can shape the quality of prenatal care services to meet the needs of Indigenous families more effectively and in a culturally safe manner. This research examines the prenatal care model of a group of midwives based out of an interdisciplinary health clinic called Mount Carmel Clinic (MCC) in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It finds increased rates of prenatal care for Indigenous families at risk of receiving inadequate prenatal care in pregnancy. It also finds that despite increased engagement in prenatal care, many MCC midwifery clients have their babies apprehended by Child and Family Services at birth. The findings suggest that the MCC midwifery model is on a continuum of culturally safe practice, and that the model of care could facilitate a deeper level cultural safety by expanding their care team to include Indigenous members and traditional knowledge about pregnancy, birth and parenting. Finally, it finds that Two-Eyed Seeing can be used by non-Indigenous healthcare practitioners as a tool for engaging in reflective practice to design a working model of cultural safety in the context of the local community.

Со времён ознакомления с нефтью в Азербайджане прошло более IV тысяч лет. Служа тогда людям в качестве источника света и тепла, лечебного средства и как строительный материал нефть, согрев ментальность народа стал неотьемлемой частью локальной цивилизации. Олицетворяя изобилие данного энергетического ресурса целое географическое пространство исходя из этой реальности названо Азербайджаном, которое интерпретируется как «страна огней». В эпоху технологической революции и промышленной капитализации мировой экономики, происходящих в XIX веке нефть, создав так называемую «углеводородную эру» превратилась в движущую силу социума. К тому времени одним из двух важнейших международных центров сосредоточенного основного потенциала углеводородных ресурсов всей планеты стал Бакинский нефтяной район. Нефтяные фонтаны, бьющие из недр этой отдаленной провинции России капитализируясь, превращались в дополнительный источник поступлений в казну могущественной державы.

Culture, Sexuality and Indigenous Healing in Pakistan: Exploring Sexual Health Care through Hakeems and Herbalists
Authors: Qadar Abdul , Rehman Zia Ur
Published: October 2020

Objective: This paper aims to understand the relationship between sexuality, culture, and male sexual health through the role of hakeems as an indigenous healing framework in Pakistan. Study Design: Participant observation (by first author) and personal practice (by second author). Place and Duration of Study: At a matab where second author practices hikmat is located in Islamabad. The fieldwork in the form of collaborative learning has been going on since September 2019 to date. Materials and Methods: This research is based on the participant observation at the matab where people come to seek herbal medicine and consultancy from the hakeem. Narrative account of anthropologist and practice of certified hakeem, through an interactive exchange of ideas about questions of the study, was employed. The study has taken information in the form of semi-structured interviews from the patients who either gave consent or asked to remain anonymous. Results: Results have shown that the nature of the relation between sexuality and cultural order have compelled people to seek hikmat as indigenous healing on a long-term basis. The framework of indigenous healers has helped to understand the cultural logic of sexuality, which is embedded more closely in the practice of hakeems than the biomedical regime. Conclusion: Cultural competence, in this case the same cultural background of the hakeem and patients, adds to our understanding of the indigenous healing framework, sexuality, and culture.

Published: October 2020

Generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been identified as an important factor that is responsible for disease progression and cell death, particularly in secondary injury process. Ascorbic acid (AA) is an exogenous antioxidant that can be used to quench ROS in neurodegeneration. Its antioxidant properties have been reported in some neurodegenerative conditions in rats. In the present study, we examined the neurotherapeutic effects of AA in TBI induced rats. Three groups of seven rats each were used for this study. Group I was induced with TBI and treated with AA (67.5 mg/kg orally), group II was traumatized but not treated (TNT) while group III was neither traumatized nor treated (NTNT). Treatment started 30 min after TBI and lasted for 21 days. Morris water maze (MWM), Elevated plus maze, and Open field test were carried out. Antioxidant enzymes [(Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAT) Glutathion peroxidase (GPx)] and their gene expression were analyzed. Malondialdehyde level, S100B concentration and histological studies were conducted. The treatment with AA improved learning and memory, locomotor function and decreased anxiety in the treated groups compared to group II. S100B was significantly (p<0.05) lowered in the treated group compared to the group II rats. Treatment with AA also decreases malondialdehyde level when compared to group II. There were increased SOD, CAT and GPx activities in the treated group when compared to the control group. These were in agreement with their gene expressions that are highly expressed in the same groups. Our results suggest that neuroprotective effects of AA in albino rats can be the result of reduced lipid peroxidation and enhanced antioxidant status which can be a good neurotherapeutic strategy.

Authors: Al-Rubaye Ali , Abdulwahid Dhurgham , Albadran Aymen , Ejbary Abbas , Alrubaiy Laith
Published: October 2020

Background: There has been a rapid rise in cases of COVID-19 infection and its mortality rate
since the first case reported in February 2020. This led to the rampant dissemination of
misinformation and rumors about the disease among the public.
Objectives: To investigate the scale of public misinformation about COVID-19 in Basrah, Iraq.
Methods: A cross-sectional study based on a 22-item questionnaire to assess public knowledge
and understanding of information related to the COVID-19 infection.
Results: A total of 483 individuals completed the questionnaire. The most frequent age group
was 26–35 years (28.2%); there were 280 (58%) males and 203 (42%) females. Of the
participants, 282 (58.4%) were with an education level below the Bachelor’s degree, 342
(70.8%) were married, and 311 (64%) were living in districts in Basra other than the central
district. Overall, 50.8% (11.8/ 22 * 100%) of individuals had the correct information regarding
COVID-19. There was a significant association between the level of COVID-19 related
misinformation and participants’ educational levels and occupation (p <0.05). However, there
was no significant difference found across sex, age group, marital state, and area of residence.
Conclusions: Misinformation related to COVID-19 is widely spread and has to be addressed in
order to control the pandemic.

Connecting the Dots: Arms Control, Disarmament and the Women Peace and Security Agenda
Authors: Myrttinen Henri
Published: October 2020

Connecting the Dots examines the normative and practical overlaps and connections of the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda with the field of arms control and disarmament. Using an original approach to gender-responsive arms control and disarmament measures that is structured around the four WPS pillars of participation, prevention, protection, and relief and recovery, this report identifies current best practices and areas for further action. The report shows that further integration can bring benefits for both fields. For the arms control and disarmament community, the WPS pillars give structure and guidance to the comprehensive integration of gender perspectives, which thus far has been a piecemeal effort. For WPS policy actors and practitioners, engaging with arms control and disarmament helps to operationalize the WPS agenda, giving concrete substance to each of its pillars.

Published: October 2020

Based on an electrochemical method, three-dimensional arrayed nanopore structures are machined onto a Mg surface. The structured Mg surface is coated with a thin gold (Au) film, which is used as a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate. A rhodamine 6G (R6G) probe molecule is used as the detection agent for the SERS measurement. Different sizes of arrayed micro/nanostructures are fabricated by different treatment time using the electrochemical process. The topographies of these micro/nanostructures and the thickness of the Au film have an influence on the Raman intensity of the Mg substrate. Furthermore, when the thickness of Au film coating is held constant, the Raman intensity on the structured Mg substrates is about five times higher after a treatment time of 1 min when compared with other treatment times. The SERS enhancement factor ranges from 106 to 1.75 × 107 under these experimental conditions. Additionally, a 10−6 mol·L−1 solution of lysozyme was successfully detected using the Mg–Au nanopore substrates. Our low-cost method is reproducible, homogeneous, and suitable for the fabrication of SERS substrates.

The provisions of the employment agreement at least benefit workers as stipulated in the labor legislation, company regulations, or collective agreements. A revised agreement between the governments of Malaysia and Indonesia provide some benefits for migrant domestic workers but failed to provide some degree of protection related to low wages and high cost of recruitment. A series of violent cases received widespread attention led Indonesia in June 2009 to prohibit new recruitment of domestic workers to work in Malaysia until the new protection is applied. This agreement includes a positive change where workers are allowed to keep their passports instead must submit passports to the employer, and ensure workers to get their weekly rest. But the agreement didn’t stipulate a minimum wage as Indonesia wanted and perpetuates the recruitment fee structures that entrap workers in debt.Keywords: Employment Agreement, History, Politics, GovernmentBasically, to state an employment agreement is considered valid or not it’s obliged topay attention to the provisions of article 1320 of the Civil Code.
