EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION FOR SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN EDUCATORS
Authors: Fardila Ucik Ana
Published: November 2018

Effective communication is very important for learning process in the class. Effective communication from teacher to parent especially has important role to reach learning achievement for children with special needs’s classes. The key of well delivered communication is when communicator and communicant have the same message in a same perception thus will have a same understanding without meaning decreasion. Information could be delivered precisely and accurately if teacher and parent have a same understanding of the message. Communication system is necessary in children with special needs school system as the main tool of academic achievement evolvement, psychological achievement, and for student physical and mental development. Two way communication between teacher and parent become the main role of quality of children with special needs family. Communication from parent could help teacher have better knowledge about student that would help teacher to plan their class in the best method they could teach to be effective learning for each student. for children with special needs class could not only involve teacher and school system but also a good network system from parent and institutions from outside class that has impact in the children with special needs physical and mental development. It is necessary to have a certain system to connect every role in children with special needs environment to record their development through communication network system involving school, family, health institution and community as communication’s instrument support so the learning achievement would be optimally performed

Renewable Energy in Australia: Policy, Regulation, and Institutions
Authors: Yang Muyi , Sandu Suwin , Li Wenbo
Published: November 2018

This
paper assesses the policy, regulatory and institutional settings for renewable
energy in Australia. This assessment is premised on the following arguments: a)
the extent to which renewable energy is likely to contribute to electricity
defossilisation will be largely determined by the efficacy of the policy,
regulatory and institutional settings; and b) most of the existing discussion
on renewable energy is neglectful of the significance of these settings. The
assessment suggests that the overall policy, regulatory and institutional
settings for renewable energy in Australia are characterised by a lack of political
constituency for redressing climate change challenge, thereby piecemeal policy
for promoting renewable generation, significant regulatory uncertainty, and
limited institutional capacity. The assessment also suggests that this lack of
political constituency is primarily a reflection of the broader electricity and
socio-economic policy settings, which have historically favoured cheap and
abundant indigenous coal for power generation, to serve wider
socio-economic priorities and agendas. In such environments, issues of climate
change have assumed a dormant role. Hence – inefficacious policy,
regulation and institutions for promoting renewable generation.

Planned Differences: Argentina’s Universal Child Allowance from a human rights perspective
Authors: Etchichury Horacio Javier
Published: November 2018

This article intends to analyze Universal Child Allowance (UCA)—a large-scale conditional cash transfer (CCT) program in Argentina—from a human rights and constitutional perspective. Conditions required in the UCA system—which covers informal and unemployed workers—are compared to those established in family allowances, the contributory program created for registered workers. These differences in treatment are analyzed in connection with the right to equal treatment, taking into account applicable legal materials, including caselaw and theoretical contributions. After describing CCT programs in general and the specific features of UCA, and outlining Argentina’s constitutional and human rights framework, the article describes the specific conditions—maximum income, nationality, maximum number of covered children—applied only to informal and unregistered workers included in the UCA program. Compared to family allowances beneficiaries, workers under UCA have a much lower maximum wage limit to be eligible, and their children must fulfill nationality or legal residence requirements not applicable under the family allowances system. UCA covers only up to five children per family, while family allowances are paid to every child in formal workers’ families, with no restrictions. The article concludes that these planned differences in treatment are not admissible under Argentina’s human rights obligations and constitutional setting. The article also advocates a human rights-based design for social policies, in order to ensure consistency with Argentina’s Constitution and international obligations.

BackgroundDefensins play an important role in the processes associated with innate immunity. Their growth is observed in sites of intense inflammation, but also in less severe inflammation. Evaluation of alpha-defensin levels in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and its possible association with a long-term prognosis may be an interesting supplement to knowledge about the state of the immune system in heart failure.The aim of the study was to compare the plasma concentration of alpha-defensin between the patients with chronic heart failure with impaired ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <45% and the control group, as well as to evaluate the prognostic value of alpha-defensin as a possible predictor of death during a 24-month observation period.Methods The study included 52 hospitalized patients with a primary diagnosis of CHF and LVEF <45%. 20 patients exhibited features of CHF exacerbation, the remaining 32 were hospitalized on schedule. The control group consisted of 28 healthy volunteers. The observation was conducted by telephone for 2 years. The end point of the study was death for all reasons.Results Patients with CHF had significantly higher levels of alpha-defensin than control subjects. Similarly, plasma hs-CRP levels were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group, although in both groups the median hs-CRP did not exceed 5 mg / L. It has not been shown that exacerbation has an effect on alpha-defensin concentration. During the two-year follow-up, statistically significant effects on the endpoint of the following parameters were observed: EF (p = 0.035, HR = 0.917), hs-CRP (p = 0.036; HR = 1.046) and NT-proBNP (p < 0.001, HR = 1.000078). ROC analysis showed that during both a 12-month (AUC = 0.333, p = 0.116) as well as a 24 month (AUC = 0.447, p = 0.616) observation period plasma concentration of alpha-defensin was not a good predictor of death in CHF patients.ConclusionsHigher levels of alpha-defensin in patients with CHF confirm subclinical inflammatory activation in this population. However, this marker does not have predictive value for predicting death in the medium-term observation.

A Feasibility Study on Flapping Wing Actuation using Dielectric Elastomers
Authors: Ram Srinivasan G , George Paul , Sharma Jaideep , Gupta Ramesh , Harursampath Dineshkumar
Published: November 2018

Introduction of smart materials as actuators in flapping wing micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) eliminates the need for the traditional rotary power delivery mechanisms, allowing for lighter, smaller and more energy efficient designs. General kinematics of insect flight is investigated to relate the independent variable wing length to two dependent variables wingbeat frequency and stroke amplitude, to establish a benchmark of characteristics the smart material must possess. Dielectric Elastomers due to their high actuation strain, high actuation speed, low density, compliant nature and silent operation were evaluated to be suitable for flapping wing actuation. Through an experimental reference design study, corresponding finite element validation and extrapolation of the model to a unimorph bender actuator representative of an insect wing, a path is laid to achieving the kinematic parameters required for flight. Further modelling and analysis of the high voltage custom waveform generator and sensing circuit used in the experiments is done using a SPICE simulator.

This study originated from the fact CHD be the cause of death in the world. CHD negatively impact the physical and psychological condition of patients, such as depression. One of the factors that affect the condition of depression is the ability to self-acceptance. Some research indicates that the ability of self-acceptance is good to help individuals avoided from depression. This makes researchers interested in examining it and see whether it is true there is a relationship self-acceptance and depression. The hypothesis of this research is to have a significant relationship between self-acceptance with the level of depression in patients with CHD. The purpose of this study was to describe self-acceptance, levels of depression, and relationships both in patients with CHD in the Heart Clinic Dr. Achmad Mochtar Bukittinggi. This research uses a correlation approach to the relationship self-acceptance and depression in patients with CHD. The population in this study all patients with CHD who had experienced a heart attack at the hospital, amounting to +345 persons. This study used convenience sampling technique or accidental sampling. The number of subjects of this study numbered 40 people. Methods of data collection using a scale of self-acceptance which is based on the theory of Sheerer and scale levels of depression have been prepared based on the theory of Beck. Analysis using the Pearson product moment correlation. Results of data analysis found that overall CHD patients in the Cardiac Clinic Dr. Achmad Mochtar Bukittinggi have low levels of depression and self-acceptance scores were. Based on the correlation test results obtained correlation value (r) -.839, p =.000 (p <.01) means there is a very significant negative relationship between self-acceptance with depression. This means that the higher the self acceptance of patients, the lower level of depression.

Published: November 2018

The condition of sexual harassment among students of Vocational High Schools is still relatively high. One of the factors that lead to sexual harassment of students is high is the lack of religiosity on the students themselves. Religiosity can be improved through information services provided by counselors in schools by using appropriate media and materials to prevent sexual harassment of students. The research method is development research using ADDIE model (analyze, design, development, implementation, evaluation). Subjects in this study were six experts who validated the service guidelines related to the material and display of service guides, and three counselors to test the use of service guidelines. Analysis of the data used is descriptive analysis and inferential analysis with a statistical test of Kendall coefficient (W). The results showed that: (1) information service guidelines to improve religiosity in preventing sexual harassment of students were materially feasible and highly feasible by displaying (2) the level of use of information service guides to improve religiosity in preventing sexual abuse of students was in the very high category.

Beyond academic achievement goals: The importance of social achievement goals in explaining gender differences in self-handicapping
Authors: Yu Junlin , McLellan Ros
Published: November 2018

Boys show less adaptive behaviour and engagement than girls at school. Much research has examined gender differences in academic motivation to explain gender differences in school engagement. However, students engage in schools both academically and socially, and gender differences in social motivation may further contribute to the gender gap in academic engagement. In this study, 536 secondary school students in England (ages 13-14) reported their social achievement goals, academic achievement goals, and self-handicapping behaviours. Boys were more likely to adopt social demonstration goals, performance-approach and -avoidance goals, and reported greater behavioural self-handicapping. Moreover, structural equation models showed that social demonstration goals uniquely mediated the relationship between gender and self- handicapping, beyond the effect of performance-avoidance goals. Results highlight the importance of social achievement goals in explaining gender differences in self-handicapping. The findings suggest that educators need to attend to adolescents’ social goals in addition to their academic goals in secondary school.
Maradona in our minds: Memory for the FIFA World Cup reveals common effects between individual and collective memories.
Authors: Bavassi Luz , Kaczer Laura , Fernández Rodrigo S.
Published: November 2018

The FIFA World Cup football (soccer) tournament is one of the most widely watched sporting events in the world. Particularly, the Argentina national football team has appeared in five World Cup finals, winning two of them, and the general support for this team represents a long-standing tradition in this country. In the present study, we asked whether the history of the FIFA World Cup constructs a significant collective memory. Considering that this is an idiosyncratic and informal knowledge, largely affected by emotions, we hypothesized that it constitutes a solid ground for addressing collective memory properties. An online memory task was conducted asking to a large group of Argentine adults (N=407) which country was the winner, the runner-up, and the host of each FIFA World Cup tournament that took place since 1930 to 2014. In addition, participants were asked to rank the emotional content and the response confidence of each tournament. Finally, participants reported a number of keywords associated with each World Cup edition, to measure the memory detail. Overall, our results reveal the existence of a robust collective memory for the World Cup, showing a high memory accuracy and detail along the history of the championships. We demonstrated the presence of parallel effects between individual and collective memories, such as a serial-position effect, a modulation by emotion and a reminiscence bump. In addition, we modelled the forgetting curves for different World Cups, revealing that the most memorable ones where could take almost a century to fade from collective memory.
Does the Proximity Effect occur through Non-Consious Processes? A Study Protocol
Authors: Knowles Daniel , Brown Kyle , Aldrovandi Silvio
Published: November 2018

Introduction: Consumption of snacks and food can be reduced by placing them further away from an individual, known as the Proximity Effect. This effect is generally thought to be robust, and observable between when snacks are presented at 20cm and 70cm. It is assumed that this effect occurs without conscious awareness or processing, but no study has experimentally tested whether the effect occurs via non-conscious processing. Method: A sample of 84 individuals is targeted, with each individual being assigned to one of four conditions via computerised random number sequence. A 2(Distance; 20cm, 70cm) x 2(Attention State; Distraction/Video, Control/No Video) between subjects design is implemented, with all individuals being presented with a bowl containing 250g of M&M’s. Individuals will either be asked to watch a 5-minute video clip, or sit quietly for 5 minutes. Snack consumption is measured at two levels: likelihood of consumption (any snack consumed vs none consumed), and actual consumption (continuous, measured in grams). Snacks will be removed after the 5 minute period, with individuals then being asked to complete a short questionnaire. Analysis: A binary logistic regression will be conducted to test for differences in likelihood of consumption. Actual consumption will be analysed through a 2x2 ANCOVA. Covariates of Perceived Effort and Visual Salience will be included in models for both analyses to assess the influence of these factors. Sensitivity analysis will be conducted for when outliers, those who were aware of the study intent, and those influenced by their environment are removed from analysis. All outcomes will be reported.Discussion: The proposed study will assess whether individuals consume more snacks when presented closer (proximity effect), as well as if consumption is higher when watching a short video clip, and the interaction between the two factors. Outcomes of the study will allow researchers to determine whether the proximity effect is likely to occur via non-conscious processing and without conscious awareness, or whether the effect occurs while individuals are aware of their behaviour. The results may influence future research and choice architects to ensure less-healthy snacks are placed further away if individuals are distracted with another stimulus to prevent mindless eating.
Reducing symptoms of social anxiety in a young adult: a case study on reattach
Authors: MAAT Renske TER
Published: November 2018

Introduction: ReAttach is a new, multi-modal psychological intervention based on the theoretical principles of arousal regulation, information processing and schema therapy. Practical research indicates that ReAttach significantly reduces psychological problems in both adults and children. Theories on ReAttach state that this is done by creating functional schemas, which in turn create more effective coping styles in clients and decrease psychological distress.Objectives: This article aims to provide a better understanding of ReAttach theory and give insight in the treatment process.Methods: This is done by linking theory to the treatment process of a young adult (N=1) with symptoms of social anxiety.Results: The psychological distress in the client decreased from 32 (serious problems) to 12 (no problems).Conclusion: ReAttach decreased symptoms of anxiety in the young adult and the theoretical principles of arousal regulation, information processing and schema therapy seem applicable to the case.
Extreme Child Poverty and the Role of Social Policy in the United States
Authors: Parolin Zachary , Brady David
Published: November 2018

This paper applies improved household income data to reevaluate the levels, trends, composition, and role of social policy in extreme child poverty in the U.S. from 1997-2015. Unlike prior research, we correct for the underreporting of means-tested transfers and incorporate the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP). Doing so reduces the share of children below $2 per day from about 1.8% to 0.1%. That said, we acknowledge use of survey data omits the estimated 1.3 million homeless children in 2014-2015. We find that three different measures of extreme child poverty have declined since 1997. Unlike prior literature’s focus on single motherhood, citizenship status is the more consequential characteristic. Between 58-73% of children in extreme poverty live in households headed by non-citizens. Simulations granting them access to the median SNAP benefit reduce their extreme poverty substantially. Two-way fixed effects models show that higher state-level generosity and take up of SNAP and TANF significantly reduce extreme poverty. Unlike prior research’s focus on the decline of TANF, we show SNAP has grown in generosity and take-up. In turn, changes to social policy since 1997 have probably had offsetting effects on extreme child poverty.

Published: November 2018

Introduction: Improving diet is a prime target for the prevention and management of chronic disease. The communal coping model suggests that families can mitigate shared risk of chronic disease through encouragement of healthful eating, eliciting preventive behaviors. Method: Using network data from 69 Australian families across three ancestry groups (Anglo, Italian, and Asian) with varied family health histories, the present study applied social network analysis to identify patterns of intergenerational encouragement of healthful eating behavior within families, and assess whether patterns varied by family ancestry or disease density.Results: Findings indicated variation in patterns of health encouragement by ancestry such that Asian-Australian families were most distinct from the other ancestry groups. While there was no main effect of familial disease history, it moderated the effect of Italian ancestry on intergenerational encouragement patterns. Discussion: These results provide important context for future family-based interventions that leverage normative patterns of intergenerational exchange of encouragement or aim to modify such patterns in an effort to improve family health.

Authors: Trajkovski Vladimir , Ajdinski Ljubomir , Spiroski Mirko
Published: November 2018

Aim. To examine plasma concentration of IgA, IgM, IgG classes, and IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 subclasses in children with autism. Methods. Infantile autism was diagnosed by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM)-IV and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 criteria. Plasma samples were collected from 35 autistic subjects, and their 21 siblings (biological brothers and sisters)who served as healthy controls. Plasma samples were separated by centrifugation and stored at –20 C until the determination. Plasma immunoglobulin classes (IgM, IgA, IgG) and subclasses (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4) were determined using a nephelometer. Results. Plasma concentrations (mean standard deviation) of IgM and IgG in autistic children (1.36 0.31 g/L and 13.14 1.27 g/L, respectively) were significantly higher (p=0.031 and p=0.023, respectively) in comparison with their healthy brothers or sisters (1.20 0.15 g/L and 12.39 0.96 g/L, respectively). Children with autism had significantly higher plasma concentrations of IgG4 (p<0.001) compared to their siblings (healthy brothers or sisters). Plasma concentration of IgA, IgG1, IgG2, and IgG3 were similar in autistic children and their healthy brothers or sisters. Increased plasma concentration of IgG1 was found (p=0.027) in autistic males (8.06 2.40), as compared with their healthy brothers (5.24 4.13 g/L). Plasma concentrations of IgG (14.28 3.66 g/L), and IgG1 (9.41 2.20 g/L) in autistic females were increased (p=0.012 and p=0.021, respectively) in comparison with IgG (11.07 2.07) and IgG1 (6.37 3.38g/L) in their healthy sisters. Conclusion. Children with autism have increased plasma concentration of immunoglobulines. Increased immunoglobulines in children with autism could be a result of impaired development of the immune system, and/or genetic factors connected with defense mechanism in these children.

We begin this essay by sketching out the emergence of the translational research terminology in different settings such as biomedical research and nursing science. We then discuss some theoretical concepts that might help us to sharpen our analytical focus for answering our research questions, and follow this by presenting our methodology and discussing our results. Finally, we conclude with some insights into the challenge that translational research provides for a current understanding of research practices and research objects in medical science.

Članak je podijeljen na tri dijela koji korespondiraju s najvažnijim zbivanjima unutar tog razdoblja. To su stvaranje nove južnoslavenske države, razdoblje pseudoparlamentarizma u 20-im godinama prošlog stoljeća te posljednje desetljeće života Kraljevine SHS/Kraljevine Jugoslavije.
The Danse Macabre of the Beram Frescoes in the Chapel of sv. Marija na Škrilinah
Authors: Lenković Mirela
Published: November 2018

The Danse Macabre as an iconographic theme appears in the Middle Ages across all of Europe carrying within it a message of the equality among people regardless of their station in life. Medieval artists used the various templates available to them: Biblia pauperum, Meditationes Vitae Christi, Legenda aurea, artistic templates, woodcuts, illuminated manuscripts, and the like. Scenes of the dying and death of ordinary people were not a theme of iconographic content prior to the Late Middle Ages, but rather begin to appear in the 14th century. There emerge at that time several categories of iconographic deaths. The Danse Macabre of the Beram frescoes (in the Chapel of sv. Marija na Škrilinah, 1474) contributes immeasurably to the artistic heritage of the Middle Ages as well as to Croatian cultural heritage.
Preparation and Property Investigation of Epoxy/Amine Micro/Nanocapsule Based Self-healing Coatings

Autonomous self-healing was achieved by synthesizing epoxy coatings which contain dual micro/nanocapsules; epoxy and amine. Epoxy micro/nanocapsules were prepared by an in situ polymerization process and amine microcapsules were fabricated by vacuum infiltration of diethylenetriamine into nanoporous hollow glass microspheres. Both types of capsules were embedded into epoxy matrix. When cracks were created and started to grow in the coating, the micro/nanocapsules near the crack were ruptured and released their contents. As a result of curing reaction between released curing agents (epoxy and amine), healing of the cracked sites was completed. In this work, some properties of epoxy/amine micro/nanocapsule based self-healing coatings such as morphology of micro/nanocapsule and coating, healing and corrosion properties were studied. Also thermal stability and adhesion properties of this kind of coating were evaluated comprehensively. It was found out that optimum mass ratio of epoxy/amine capsules ratio is 1 : 1 and the highest healing efficiency was achieved for a total micro/nanocapsule concentration of 15 wt.%. Regarding thermal and adhesion behavior of coatings, it was observed that adding micro/nanocapsules to epoxy matrix did not change these properties significantly which means self-healing characteristics were achievable without deteriorating other properties.

Published: November 2018

Using capillary dies having different diameters, D, and length-to-diameter L/D ratios, a full rheological characterization has been carried out for a polypropylene melt, and the experimental data have been fitted both with a viscous model (Cross) and a viscoelastic one (the Kaye – Bernstein, Kearsley, Zapas/Papanastasiou, Scriven, Macosko or K-BKZ/PSM model). Particular emphasis has been given on the pressure-dependence of viscosity. It was found that only the viscoelastic simulations were capable of reproducing the experimental data well, while any viscous modeling always underestimates the pressures, especially at the higher apparent shear rates and L/D ratios.
Effect of Process Parameters on Shear Layer Thickness in Injection Molded Short-Glass Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene
Authors: Altan M. , Demirci M.
Published: November 2018

Controlling fiber orientation and fiber distribution in plastic injection of glass reinforced polymers is important due to the improvement of the properties of the material. Variation in shear layer thickness of fiber distribution affects the properties of the injection moldings. In this study, 30 % glass fiber reinforced polypropylene was injected under various injection molding conditions in order to increase the shear layer thickness in which fiber orientation was parallel to the flow direction. The experimental study was carried out according to the Taguchi L9 orthogonal array. The mold temperature, nozzle temperature and injection rate were chosen as input parameters and the thickness of the shear layer was taken as output. Analysis of variance was also applied to observe the effectiveness of the process parameters on shear layer thickness. The shear layer thickness was measured over the images obtained by scanning electron microscopy. In order to investigate the dynamic mechanical behavior of the material depending on fiber distribution, dynamical mechanical analysis was applied. Storage modulus, loss modulus and tan delta values were obtained. It has been observed that higher mold temperature and nozzle temperature values increased shear layer thickness in injection molding of glass fiber reinforced polypropylene. It has been seen that 65 % of increment in shear layer thickness induced approximately 50 % of increment in storage modulus and loss modulus.
The Rhetorics of Violence in Jalila Baccar and Fadhel Jaïbi’s Violence(s)
Authors: Zahrouni Rafika
Published: November 2018

Based on rhetorics of violence and discourses of gender supported by the theoretical works of Pierre Bourdieu, A. Ballinger, and Bertolt Brecht, this article first investigates the concept of violence through the performance of Jalila Baccar and Fadhel Jaïbi’sViolence(s) (2015).In this play an examination of the new forms of violence helps us pay particular attention to violence enacted by men and women against their minoritized groups, and how, when harmed, these groups go against the grain. My purpose in this article is to demonstrate how such forms of violence appeal to the audiences’ emotions and intellect. A Brechtian reading of Violence(s)with reference to Tsunami (2013) and Fear(s) (2017), also by Baccar and Jaïbi will assist comprehension of the development of violence and the resulting frustration provoked by the Arab Spring’s ongoing political, ethnic, economic, and religious conflicts and its subsequent impact on the Arab citizen’s daily behaviours and attitudes.
