Understanding sibling influences on food parenting practices in families with children aged 1 to 5
Authors:   , Ayre Susannah
Published: June 2024

Using a family systems framework, this program of research investigated how siblings influence the enactment of mealtimes in families with children aged 1 to 5 years. Informed by a scoping review (Manuscript 1), it employed a mixed-methods design, comprising qualitative interviews and mealtime observations (Manuscript 2), and a cross-sectional survey (Manuscripts 3 and 4). The findings demonstrate direct and indirect sibling influences on dyadic feeding interactions in families, that may have profound impacts on the development of eating behaviours in early childhood. The conceptual model and psychometric scale developed in this thesis lay foundations for future research in the field.

Temporal Context, Changes in Educational Systems, and Individual Interests: The Formation of Artistic Erudite Scholars among Chinese Overseas Students in the Early 20th Century
Authors: Zhu Ping
Published: June 2024

Este artículo examina un grupo de artistas que destacaron en múltiples campos entre los estudiantes chinos de ultramar a principios del siglo XX, con el objetivo de explorar las polifacéticas razones que subyacen a la aparición de estos "eruditos". En primer lugar, a finales de la dinastía Qing y principios de la República de China, los estudiantes de ultramar introdujeron el arte occidental en China, marcando el comienzo de la transformación moderna del arte chino. A principios del siglo XX, marcado por la mezcla del "nuevo aprendizaje" y el "viejo aprendizaje", permitió a los estudiantes extranjeros comprender en profundidad los diversos sistemas de conocimiento de las culturas china y extranjera. En segundo lugar, la influencia del modelo de educación artística fue significativa. Anteriormente, bajo la influencia del modelo educativo japonés normal y los conceptos artísticos orientales, se hacía hincapié en lo común de la música, las bellas artes y la literatura. Sin embargo, con la introducción del modelo europeo de educación artística, el fenómeno del "polímata" disminuyó gradualmente. Por último, el ambiente educativo dentro de las propias familias de los artistas y sus intereses personales también influyeron significativamente en el desarrollo de sus diversos talentos. Este grupo de "polímatas" artísticos representa un fenómeno distintivo en el periodo de intercambio cultural y transformación de la sociedad china moderna.
Three Ghanaian pre-service teachers’ conceptions of assessment literacy
Authors: Enu Justice , Ngcobo Zanele
Published: June 2024

Assessment literacy is the knowledge and skills one needs to develop and practice in order to investigate what students know and can do, interpret the results of assessment, and use such results to decide how to improve learning effectively. This study explored pre-service teachers’ assessment literacy and the implications thereof for the teaching and learning of mathematics. Three second year pre-service teachers enrolled for Diploma in education consented to participate in the study. Data were generated through semi-structured interviews and analysed using thematic analysis. Findings revealed while pre-service teachers’ conceive assessment as an ongoing process aimed at gathering information about students’ learning their conception is more grounded on assessment being summative. While the study only focused on pre-service teachers’ conception, we recommend that pre-service teachers’ classroom assessment practice should be investigated, to ascertain how their knowledge of assessment informs their classroom practices.
Problem-based Curriculum to Conceptually Develop the Multiplication Principle for Counting
Authors: Pogorelova Lioubov , Sheehan-Braine Stephanie , John Anthony , Wasserman Nicholas
Published: June 2024

Counting exercises are difficult (e.g., Batanero et al., 1997; Hadar & Hadass, 1981). As a case in point, although multiplication is a relatively simple concept, students often use multiplication incorrectly on counting problems (Batanero et al., 1997). To address this issue, this paper develops a problem-based curriculum to help students learn about the multiplication principle (MP) for counting. In this paper, we outline the important mathematical issues and nuances associated with the MP in our proposed exercise set, and discuss how mathematics educators could implement this sequence of exercises to develop students’ conceptual understanding of the MP. We conclude by discussing how our exercise set aligns with a broader theory of learning – variation theory.
DIFFERENT HOMOGENIZATION PRESSURE AND PACKING MATERIAL TREATMENTS IN KASHAR CHEESE PRODUCTION AND EFFECTS ON CHEMICAL, BIOCHEMICAL AND MICROBIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Authors: Ürkek Bayram , TUNÇTÜRK Yusuf
Published: June 2024

In this study, Kashar cheese milk was homogenized at three different levels (0, 10 and 15 MPa). The produced Kashar cheeses were ripened for 90 d at 4 ºC as covered with paraffin or uncovered. Some chemical, proteolysis, lipolysis, peroxide and thiobarbituric acid (TBA), and microbiological characteristics of Kashar cheeses were examined during storage. The values of all chemical, biochemical and microbiological parameters increased at the end of ripening compared with at the beginning of ripening in all samples. Proteolysis values in cheese samples generally decreased with homogenization pressure. Lipolysis, peroxide, TBA values of samples were decreased depending on the homogenization pressure. The proteolysis, lipolysis, TBA, peroxide values of samples covered with paraffin were slightly lower than those uncovered. The yeast-mould counts were higher in covered samples compared with samples uncovered. Consequently, Kashar cheese could be used in a homogenization process (especially 10 MPa) in production, and paraffin in packing.

The present analysis focuses on the magnetohydrodynamic flow through an inclined channel with insulated walls. The effects of induced magnetic field, Newtonian heating/cooling, first-order chemical reaction and radiative heat flux are considered. Forming and solving the governing equations, we derived the expressions for velocity field, temperature field, concentration field and induced magnetic field. The equations of skin frictions and Nusselt number were also obtained. The graph displays the effects of several parameters, such as the magnetic parameter, radiation, Schmidt number, Biot number on the profiles of velocity, temperature field, concentration, induced magnetic field. Additionally, a tabular analysis is presented for Nusselt number and skin frictions.
POWER QUALITY ENHANCEMENT USING GWO OPTIMIZED ANFIS CONTROLLER BASED STATCOM IN MG
Authors: MeenakshiSundaram  , R Shivakumar , T.S Saravanan , B Karthikeyan
Published: June 2024

In power systems, voltage stability and power quality are major problems. Hence, this work formulated a novel flexible control algorithm for STATCOM in order to mitigate power quality issues in micro grids. Further to improve the performance of the STATCOM, an intelligent optimised ANFIS controller has been incorporated. The suggested technique has two parts; GWO is employed in the first stage to learn the ANFIS parameters. The performance of the suggested ANFIS-GWO approach is assessed in the second stage. Thus, the efficacy of the proposed controller is examined under different case studies using both simulation and experimental results. From the results, it was found that when the system is subjected to load changes, the dynamic performance of the stem is improved and the dc link voltage remains constant. As the proposed controller achieves less fluctuation, it can be considered as suitable controller for micro-grids.
AN INFORMATION-THEORETIC FILTER SINGLE-STEP SEQUENTIAL MONTE CARLO METHOD IN PRACTICE. AN EXPERIMENTAL CASE STUDY FOR THE PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION ESTIMATION
Authors: Otero Fernando , Bietti Managó Bianca , Ghlam Karima , Frontini Gloria , Eliçabe Guillermo
Published: June 2024

In this article, we implement an extended version of a Monte Carlo methodology making use of a Sampling/Mapping/Filtering (SMF) strategy, to estimate the Particle Size Distribution (PSD) of a particle system. The methodological difference is shown by the use of a filter, based on information theory, which computes a cut-off level using an optimization scheme following the principle of relevant information (PRI). The practical application of the full strategy considers the fusion between scanning electron microscope (SEM) data and static light scattering (SLS) measurements. The two models are utilized, assuming spherical particles represented as hard spheres: the so-called local monodisperse approximation (LMA) and the Vrij’s finite mixtures model (VFMM). We analyze the resulting estimates for different configurations of both prior information and SLS models, where final results are compared to those obtained in previous studies for a polymeric particle system embedded in a solid polymer matrix.
Novel monolithic catalysts for the hydrotreating of oleic acid
Authors: Tonetto Gabriela , Troncoso Franco , MICELI RIBEIRO COSTA THIAGO
Published: June 2024

Alumina-supported palladium and molybdenum carbide monolithic catalysts were tested in the hydrodeoxygenation of oleic acid. Anodized aluminum monoliths were used as the substrate of the structured catalysts. The Pd catalyst was synthetized by wet impregnation, and the Mo2C sample was prepared in situ using the temperature-programmed carburization methodology. The monolithic catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, N2 sorption analysis, CO chemisorption and scanning electron microscopy. The catalytic tests were carried out in a continuous tubular reactor at temperatures between 553 and 633 K, with a hydrogen pressure of 30 atm. Both catalysts showed to be active, reaching a conversion of oleic acid higher than 92% at 633 K. The deoxygenation reactions using the Mo2C catalyst were suppressed, favoring the saturation of carbon-carbon double bonds and the stearic acid formation. On the other hand, oleic acid hydrodeoxygenation was promoted when using the palladium-based catalyst, forming undecane and tridecane alkanes.

Published: June 2024

Global warming is mainly caused by carbon dioxide (CO2). For natural gas streams that contain high lev-els of CO2, combining different technologies, such as absorption, adsorption, membrane, and cryogenic separation, may be more convenient for separating acid gas. This study focuses on a gas stream that con-tains 81.14 mole% of CO2. Two hybrid processes, membrane-absorption with amines and cryogenic-membrane, were evaluated for their capital cost, en-ergy and water consumption, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions under different operational condi-tions using ASPEN HYSYS V.12. The membrane-absorption system has the lowest CH4 losses, while the hybrid cryogenic-membrane system has lower energy and water requirements and 69% less GHG emissions than the membrane-amine hybrid system. The cryo-genic-membrane system is suitable for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) due to its high carbon dioxide purity and 30% lower operative costs, but requires a slightly higher initial investment.
STAGNATION POINT FLOW OF A NANOFLUID OVER A STRETCHING SHEET IN THE PRESENCE OF A MELTING POINT AND A CHEMICAL REACTION
Authors: Hari Niranjan , G Lakshmi Devi
Published: June 2024

The current investigation examined the influence of the melting point on the flow of nanofluid at the stagnation point over a stretching sheet in the presence of viscous dissipation and chemical reaction. The suggested model's governing non-linear partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. The numerical solution was obtained from the MATLAB bvp4c. The characteristics of the parameters under consideration are explored and provided. In this model, as the melting parameter is increased, the profiles of solute concentration, velocity, and temperature decline. The temperature profile increases on increasing the Eckert number. The solute concentration decreased for higher values of the chemical reaction parameter. The statistical results of skin friction and local Nusselt number were compared with previous literature. The results of this study provide applications in casting, welding, magma solidification, liquid polymer extrusion, the production of semiconductor materials, the thawing of frozen soils, and the melting of permafrost.

Published: June 2024

The unprecedented challenge posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by SARS-CoV-2, has emerged as a global threat. In response, a limited array of therapeutics has been approved for the prevention and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The main protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2 has been a significant target for drug development efforts because of its crucial role in the viral replication process. This study is to investigate the efficacy of Ensitrelvir and its derivatives in inhibiting the mechanism of the Mpro target of SAR-CoV-2. Docking simulation and molecular dynamic simulation (SMD) techniques were employed for this purpose. The results indicate that the CID 166498740 derivative obtained affinity energy -9.3 kcal/mol and rupture force (Fmax) 638.3 ± 79.3 (pN), which proved that the CID 166498740 derivative strongly interacted with the Mpro target, emphasizing non-binding interactions as more crucial than hydrogen bonding in stabilizing the receptor-ligand conformation.

Spring onions are an essential spice in Vietnamese food preparation for its favor and aroma. Tra Vinh, one of the coastal provinces, is greatly affected by climate change and saline intrusion. Hence, this study was conducted to access the effects of Brasinoline (Br) on the growth of Spring onion under normal conditions and salt stress events. The experiment embraced four Br concentrations (0 ppm, 0.05 ppm, 0.1 ppm, and 0.15 ppm) under both fresh water and 3‰ saltwater irrigation conditions, distributed according to the 2-factor Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD). Preliminary results, with concentrations of Br 0.1 ppm and 0.15 ppm, show a high increase in leaf length, number of leaves/brush, number of shoots, stem diaphragm and plant green weight. Under 3‰ salt water irrigation conditions, Br concentration of 0.15 ppm showed supporting effectively the growth of Spring onions equivalent to that in fresh water.

Published: June 2024

In this study, Al-doped ZnO thin films were sputter deposited on glass substrate as a function of limited oxygen gas inlet. The crystal structure, optical, and electrical properties of the films were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and Hall measurement. High crystallinity was found in all AZO samples. Surface morphology presented small grain size of ~ 50 – 100 nm, and thickness of AZO thin films were maintained approximately at 280 nm. Average optical transmittance of AZO films was about 90% in the 450 – 600 nm region, and optical band-gap values varied from 3.327 to 3.380 eV. The electrical resistivity of AZO films decreased with an increasing amount of oxygen flux. These AZO films are quite appropriate for the perspective development of UV photodetectors as a central role absorbing components or n-type semiconducting layers.

Authors: Seyed Mohsen Moghaddasi
Published: June 2024

To assist safety practitioners in the work of prioritizing preventative activities based on the stage of civil industry, it is necessary to identify the most common causes of accidents in the civil sector. Reports from official accident investigations are examined.  For this aim, accidents are examined that were officially investigated by the Ministry of Cooperatives, Labour, and Social Welfare at the building sites of North of Iran (Mazandaran region) between 2013 and 2023. The percentage of causes in each of the several potential cause groups indicates a pattern of causation. There are notable correlations between the different cause categories and the phases of building and accident mechanisms. Depending on the accident's mechanism and the current building stage, there have been seen to be significant variances in accident causation. Prioritizing preventive measures to counter the most likely causes of each accident procedures and building stage should be done using these results.

Authors: Kabanova Viktoriya , Kurganova Ekaterina , Frolov Aleksandr , Plahtinskiy Vladimir , Shakun Vladimir
Published: June 2024

The authors calculated the single occupied molecular orbital energies of the substrate radical and the phthalimide catalyst radical by the Hartree-Fock quantum chemical method (PM7). According to the research, low numerical values of ∆Esomo characterise N-hydroxyphthalimide derivatives containing electron-donating substituents in their structure and possess high catalytic activity. Application of such compounds allows ones to intensify essentially the process of alkylaromatic hydrocarbons aerobic liquid-phase oxidation with preservation of feedstock conversion high parameters and selectivity of its hydroperoxide formation. The calculated data are in good agreement with the experimentally obtained data. Hence, the proposed method can be used to evaluate the catalytic activity of phthalimide compounds with respect to a wide range of aromatic hydrocarbons.
Functional TAKE as Inchoative and Mirative Marker in Bulgarian Multiple Agreement Constructions
Authors: Di Caro Vincenzo Nicolò , Molinari Luca
Published: June 2024

This paper is an attempt to fill in a gap in the literature on the two-verb periphrases with the functional verb TAKE in Bulgarian. This goal is achieved by presenting the results of an online pilot study on the acceptability of verbal periphrases featuring functional vzemam ‘take’ in Bulgarian and by providing a first analysis of the syntax and semantics of such constructions. The study involved an acceptability judgment task of present and past sentences containing three periphrases of the type TAKE + connector + V2: two Multiple Agreement Constructions featuring either the connector da (labeled TAKE daMAC) or the connector če (TAKE čeMAC) and a Pseudo-Coordination with the connector i ‘and’ (iPseCo). This completely anonymous study was completed by 241 self-reported Bulgarian L1 speakers (167 F; 72 M) with an age ranging from 18 to 77 (M = 43.32; SD = 12.61), roughly from all parts of Bulgaria. The results show that TAKE daMAC and čeMAC are uniformly available to all the speakers, who mainly admit them in past contexts; iPseCo is instead less accepted overall, but surfaces in both present and past contexts. Moreover, the three constructions seem to be quite consistently admitted in all parts of Bulgaria, as no significant differences in the distribution of judgments were found. TAKE daMAC has an inchoative reading, while TAKE čeMAC is interpreted as mirative. No clear semantic specialization emerges for iPseCo. Structurally, TAKE MACs diverge from canonical MACs in that the former are monoclausal. However, the lexical V2 in TAKE daMAC always surfaces in the present tense, while TAKE čeMAC and iPseCo feature TAM sharing between V1 and V2.

Impact of Marital Status „Single“ on Behavior and Well-Being of an Employee or a Student
Authors: Gajdová Denisa
Published: June 2024

The behavior of employees, their attitudes and interest in work are the subject of countless studies and investigations. Many look at the issue of employee motivation and stimulation from the point of view of position, education, age or gender. However, within the available findings, there is no knowledge regarding the status of employees, although the very fact of whether an employee lives alone or with someone else presupposes different behavior. The aim of this paper was to find out whether the status “single” has an impact on behavior, performance, and job satisfaction of an employee. As part of the search for information on this issue, we came across interesting findings of many authors who devoted themselves not only to this issue, but also investigated the issues of multicultural values, leadership, management in practice, education and other topics related to the influence of various factors on the performance and work of individuals. We tried to apply his survey, previously carried out in the USA and Canada to the territory of Europe/European Union, while taking into account multiculturalism and gender differences, since students participating in the Erasmus program took part in the survey too. We based our research on the fact that the shares and development of individual categories are the same in both regions.
Use of omalizumab and allergen-specific immunotherapy for the treatment of respiratory allergic diseases in children and adults
Authors: Prilutskiy A. S. , Prilutskaia O. A.
Published: June 2024

Allergen-specific immunotherapy is a method of treatment and prevention of respiratory allergic diseases. Carrying it out changes and improves the course of allergic diseases. One of the promising and new approaches is the combination of allergen-specific immunotherapy with one of the biological drugs, omalizumab. Currently, few such studies have been carried out in the world. 14 works were selected from international databases (eLibrary.ru, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Web of Science). Their results were analyzed and summarized. The characteristics of these studies and their design are given. The results of the safety and effectiveness of the combined use of allergen-specific treatment and anti-IgE therapy are described. It was shown that in most cases (13 out of 14), omalizumab therapy precedes allergen-specific immunotherapy. However, the duration of combination treatment, drug regimens, and patient monitoring vary significantly. All studies have established a variety of positive effects of the combined use of omalizumab and allergen-specific immunotherapy (improvement of the course of diseases, increased possibility of treatment with allergens, good tolerability of drugs, etc.). These studies are very promising. Their continuation is required. It is necessary to clarify the most rational schemes for the combined use of anti-IgE and allergen-specific immunotherapy.

Published: June 2024

Introduction. ASIT is characterized by a high safety profile, however, when prescribing ASIT, indications and certain contraindications should be taken into account, knowledge of which is mandatory for every practicing allergist. In recent years, clinical contraindications to ASIT have been revised due to the publication of the Position Paper of the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI). The decision to prescribe ASIT is based on an assessment of the individual patient’s condition, analysis of indications, consideration of contraindications to ASIT, assessment of concomitant diseases, and their pharmacotherapy. The doctor must make the final decision when prescribing allergen treatment, weighing the risk-benefit ratio. Refusal to perform ASIT on a patient with must be clearly reasoned and justified.

Presentation of a clinical case. A child aged 11 years was observed with a diagnosis of allergic bronchial asthma, mild intermittent course. Allergic rhinitis, persistent course. Allergy to trees, cereals, weeds. Cross food allergy (peas, melon) with clinical manifestations in the form of oral allergic syndrome, acute urticaria, angioedema of the lips and tongue. Asperger’s syndrome. Congenital cataract. Despite the annual progression of respiratory allergies and the expansion of the spectrum of sensitization, the patient was not offered ASIT for a long time if there were indications for its implementation due to the presence of comorbid pathology. The presence of mental illness, according to the Position Document, is a relative contraindication to ASIT. ASIT with the therapeutic allergen Grazax is not accompanied by side effects and is characterized by high compliance, which led to a significant therapeutic effect.

Conclusion. This clinical observation clearly demonstrates a situation where the initial refusal to administer ASIT to a patient with an indication for this type of treatment was unfounded. Even in the case of complex comorbid pathology, ASIT can be performed effectively and safely.

Authors: Zakurskaya V. Ya.
Published: June 2024

Introduction. The study of the effectiveness and safety of allergen-specific immunotherapy remains relevant due to the emergence of a personalized approach in allergology and new dosage forms. Adverse reactions during sublingual allergen-specific immunotherapy are the leading reason of treatment discontinuation. Understanding the mechanisms of side effects and knowing how to overcome them allows us to achieve better tolerability of allergen-specific immunotherapy and maintain patient compliance.

The aim of the review is to combine the available literature data on the frequency, nature, and pathogenetic basis of adverse events during sublingual allergen-specific immunotherapy and to consider options for their prevention and treatment.

American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (ACL) is a public health problem in 88 countries. The treatment of ATL is based on pentavalent antimony, which has several adverse effects. And through new alternatives for the treatment of leishmaniasis, the use of off-label medications appears. The objective of this work was to evaluate, through in vitro and in silico tests, the activity of voriconazole in tablet form as off-label against the promastigote forms of Leishmania amazonensis and Leishmania guyanensis. In the bioassay, species of Leishmania (L.) amazonensis and Leishmania (V.) guyanensis were used, cultivated in RPMI medium with 10% SFBi. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of voriconazole was evaluated by the inhibition of promastigotes exposed to voriconazole at concentrations of 6.25 to 200 µg.mL-1 diluted in culture medium and fluconazole at 25 to 400 µg.mL-1. In the experiment, parasites plus culture medium and pentamidine isethionate at 3 µg.mL-1 were used as controls for 24, 48 and 72 h in triplicate. The concentrations of voriconazole used in the test showed antileishmanial activity against promastigotes of both Leishmania species, with an IC50 of 5.34 µg.mL-1 for L. amazonensis and 5.66 µg.mL-1 for L. guyanensis. Therefore, the study showed that off-label voriconazole presented better results than fluconazole against Leishmania species, in addition to showing better enzymatic coupling of new targets.

The Fruticultores de Abaetetuba’s cooperative (COFRUTA) was founded in the 90s and with a history of 21 years of activity has been building protocols to the extraction of vegetable oils in the tocantina Amazon. Therefore, this research’s goal was to follow the process of the mechanical extraction of andiroba oil at COFRUTA. The cooperative extracts oils from andiroba seeds by mechanical pressing, obtained from 24 partner communities and respects the production cycle of andirobeiras, making the activity sustainable. The andiroba oil extracted in this cooperative had an acidity of 51.78 mgKOHg-1 and peroxides 0.99 meqkg-1. The final destination of all the cooperative's production is the cosmetics market.

Central neurocytomas are central nervous system (CNS) tumors that typically show benign behavior and progression. These tumors usually occur in the lateral ventricles of young individuals. We present the case of a 36-year-old male patient who presented with an intraventricular expansive lesion causing hydrocephalus and seizures. The patient underwent an incomplete resection of the lesion but developed persistent postoperative hydrocephalus, requiring a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. The progression was favorable, and the patient was discharged for outpatient follow-up. Anatomic pathology examination revealed central neurocytoma, confirmed through immunohistochemistry. This report aims to present a case of this rare neoplasm, review the literature, and highlight its significance, given the favorable prognosis.

EdTech Hub country scans explore factors that enable and hinder the use of technology in education. This includes policies, government leadership, private-sector partnerships, and digital infrastructure for education. The scans are intended to be comprehensive but are by no means exhaustive; nonetheless, we hope they will serve as a useful starting point for more in-depth discussions about opportunities and barriers in EdTech in specific countries and, in this case, Timor-Leste.
This report was originally written in February 2024. It is based primarily on desk research, with quality assurance provided by a country expert at the Australian Council for Educational Research.

Published: June 2024

This paper explores the evolution and refinement of environmental assessment methods in response to contemporary challenges. While various methodologies exist, R. Pentle's proposed calculation method, represented by a multiple linear regression equation, stands as a significant contribution. However, this method requires refinement. To address this, the paper uses a case study approach within the State National Natural Park (SNNP) Katon-Karagay to investigate the impact of recreational load on tourist routes and the associated environmental load. Through component analysis, a complex objective function is developed within Pentle's framework, emphasizing the need for a standard-setting procedure and offering a fresh perspective on environmental functions. Rather than conventional rating scales, the study advocates for an innovative approach to delineating environmental scenarios. Importantly, this approach extends beyond environmental data analysis, offering applicability across diverse datasets, including economic and social inputs. The findings contribute to advancing environmental assessment methodologies, offering a versatile framework for understanding and managing the impacts of recreational and environmental loads in protected natural areas.
Comparisons of special education teachers and faculty's perceptions of employing augmented reality for pupils with intellectual disabilities
Authors: Algethami Rasheed Khuwayshan
Published: June 2024

The purpose of the current study is to investigate the comparisons between faculty and special education teachers' views of the use of augmented reality with learners with intellectual disabilities. In recent years, the Saudi education minister has made many reforms to advance the use of assistive technology in the teaching of learners with intellectual disabilities. The design of descriptive research was methodologically used to gather data from a hundred and sixty-five faculty members from Taif University and ninety special education teachers from Taif schools through an electronic survey. The questionnaire is divided into two parts: the first part includes demographic variables, namely gender and academic experiences. The second part included statements that focused on the views of special education teachers and faculty members regarding the use of AR technology for students with ID. The findings showed that faculty have more agreeable perceptions compared to special education instructors in Saudi Arabia. Also, there was a significant impact on special education teachers' perceptions of using augmented reality for students with intellectual disabilities based on gender. However, years of teaching experiences did not impact the special education teachers and faculty perceptions of using augmented reality with students with intellectual disabilities. Thus, the implication of the study recommends that special education teachers and faculty members should be more exhibited in training courses emphasizing raising awareness on the utilization of augmented reality for students with intellectual disabilities within general and university education.
