Promoting inclusive higher education in Indonesia continues to face significant challenges for students with special needs related to physical accessibility, socio-cultural barriers and stigmatisation. Employing a qualitative case study approach, we delve into the perspectives and real-life experiences of students with special needs at Universitas Negeri Surabaya (UNESA). Leveraging Zoom, we conducted semi-structured interviews with fifteen students struggling with deafness, blindness, physical disabilities, autism, quadriplegia and cerebral palsy. Three primary themes emerged: the need for suitable accommodations, opportunities for social integration, and the availability of university resources. We conclude that despite some improvements, students with special needs at UNESA continue to encounter impediments in pursuing higher education. Our findings underline the necessity for further policy development and enhanced backing from the academic community to foster inclusive education at UNESA, thereby catering to the academic aspirations of students with special needs.

Abstract spatial reasoning is the strongest reasoning of autistic students. In this study, we want to identify the spatial reasoning of autistic students based on the categories of spatial reasoning (spatial visualization, mental rotation, and spatial orientation) and level of reasoning (abstract and concrete). A total of 46 autistic students and 46 non-autistic students participated as subjects. All subjects were given 6 types of spatial reasoning tests which included all three categories and levels of spatial reasoning. The results that autistic students have an advantage in the abstract spatial visualization category while non-autistic students have an advantage in the concrete spatial visualization category. These results indicate specifically that abstract spatial visualization is the strongest spatial reasoning possessed by autistic students. Thus, this study provides a new picture of students' spatial reasoning ability in terms of the reasoning category and the level of reasoning.

In carrying out government activities, Sako District is supported by elements of the Civil Servant Apparatus and Non PNSD (Honorary) Employees who are arranged in various positions with different duties and authorities. Currently, the process for managing PNS performance data already has a special system that refers to the assessment system from the central government, while non-PNS honorary employees still do not have a separate system and only rely on records in the performance report book. This causes several deficiencies, namely, the potential for errors in the process of recording performance data, also the potential for damage and loss of data (notebooks), as well as the potential for fraudulent practices because these data cannot be accessed or seen widely. Through this research, the authors see a solution, namely by building an Information System for Non PNSD Employee Performance Reports at the Sako District Office, Palembang City using the Management by Objectives (MBO) method where each employee will be assessed based on daily work achievements which will later be accumulated at each end. year, with the aim of assessing if employees achieve certain work targets they will still be retained as temporary employees in Sako Palembang District.

Introduction Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease that leads to gradual loss of cartilage and the formation of osteophytes, and consequently to joint instability, pain, and limited mobility. Treatment options include drug therapy, physiotherapy, lifestyle changes and surgery to correct or replace the joint. Intra-articular treatments, such as the injection of hydrogels modified for specific clinical tasks, are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to provide targeted and effective relief with minimal side effects.

Purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of hydrogels for the intra-articular treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) based on a review of scientific literature.

Materials and methods Literature sources for the evaluation of the use of hydrogels for the intraarticular treatment of OA were selected using the subject search queries “hydrogel” AND “intra? articular” AND “osteoarthritis” in the PubMed, ScienceDirect and SciSpace databases. The search period was limited to 2018–2023 years of publication. An initial selection of articles by search glories resulted in 1,576 articles; after analysis and application of exclusion criteria, 53 of the most relevant sources were included in the review.

Results Two types of hydrogels for intra-articular use have been dentified: injectable and implantable. Injectable hydrogels are used to replace synovial fluid, deliver drugs or fill focal cartilage defects. Implantable hydrogels are used to replace or repair damaged cartilage in joints affected by OA, thereby restoring surface integrity, reducing pain and improving function.

Discussion Hydrogels demonstrate promise as a potential material for the treatment of OA as they offer several advantages, such as biomimicry, biocompatibility, minimally invasive administration and the ability to deliver therapeutic agents directly to the affected joint. However, there are limitations: uncontrolled degradation, low durability and a high likelihood of negative local and systemic immune reactions.

Conclusion Further research is needed to optimize the design and composition of hydrogels for clinical use, including the development of new compositions with programmable properties, studying long-term effects and comparing effectiveness with other OA treatment.

Authors: Danilova M. V. , Usoltseva E. N.
Published: October 2023

IntroductionMetabolic syndrome is a complex of disorders including abdominal obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, dyslipidemia, and arterial hypertension. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of the pineal hormone melatonin are of great importance for preserving body homeostasis, and potentially melatonin can be a a safe and effective agent in the complex treatment of menopausal women with metabolic syndrome.

The aim of the studyis to determine the prospects of using the epiphysis hormone melatonin in the complex treatment of menopausal metabolic syndrome based on the analysis of scientific publications.

Material and methodsThe review includes data from studies on the effect of melatonin (MT) on the components of metabolic syndrome in periand postmenopausal women. Sources were searched for the period 2016–2023 in the international databases Medline, Scopus, Web of Science and the Russian scientific electronic library eLibrary by search words and phrases: melatonin, menopause, perimenopause, metabolic syndrome, obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, arterial hypertension.

Results and DiscussionThe analysis of the literature data showed a number of advantages of the effect of exogenous MT preparations on individual components of metabolic syndrome, but some results were contradictory. Scientific evidence of MT influence on anthropometric indices, markers of glucose homeostasis, hemodynamic parameters and signs of body's inflammatory response, as well as multidirectional effects on lipid profile was found.

ConclusionGiven the multifunctionality and safety of exogenous MT preparations, its use in the complex therapy of menopausal metabolic syndrome should be considered.

Introduction Helicobacter pylori has the most pronounced oncogenic potential among known biological carcinogens of humans. Helicobacter positivity leads to the development of chronic gastritis and with prolonged persistence of infection in the gastric mucosa it is associated with the development of atrophic gastritis and adenocarcinoma of the stomach. According to international data, the prevalence of infection in Russia corresponds to the level of countries with low socio-economic status. The domestic literature contains data for a limited number of reggions, such as North-West Russia, Siberia and the Far East.

The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection and chronic atrophic gastritis among patients residing in the Ural Federal District and to identify risk factors for these diseases using modern diagnostic methods used in clinical practice.

Materials and methods Observational non-interventional anonymous cross-sectional study of 11,721 primary patients among those tested for H. pylori infection residing in the Ural Federal District. 13C-urease breath test was performed in 10,882 patients, FGDS with gastric mucosal biopsy according to OLGA and histological evaluation of biopsy specimens – in 839 patients.

Results The prevalence of H. pylori infection among primary care patients by 13C-UT was 46.9 % and that of chronic atrophic gastritis by histological evaluation of a biopsy specimen was 24.9 %. The risk of chronic atrophic gastritis was higher in those infected with H. pylori (OR 1.71; 95 % CI: 1.24–2.37, p = 0.002) and in patients over 60 years old.

Discussion The resulting prevalence of H. pylori infection in the Ural Federal District is below the levels reported in the current literary for Russia. The increasing prevalence of infection with age confirms the principle that the prevalence of infection depends on changing socio-economic conditions in a generation. The observed prevalence of chronic atrophic gastritis is comparable with the national data. The risk of gastric mucosal atrophy increases with age and in the presence of H. pylori infection, which prompts active screening of gastropathology in this category of individuals.

Conclusion The prevalence of H. pylori infection and atrophic gastritis among primary patients, as determined by reference diagnostics, was 46.9 % and 24.9 %, respectively.

Introduction Malignant neoplasms of the liver are one of the most common pathologies in oncology. Chemoembolization of the hepatic artery is currently widely used in the treatment of unresectable liver tumors. Transradial vascular access is actively used in interventional cardiology due to fewer local vascular complications. At the same time, until recently, chemoembolization of the hepatic artery was more often performed via transfemoral vascular access.

The aim of the work is a comparative analysis of the results of transradial and transfemoral vascular accesses for the purpose of hepatic artery chemoembolization.

Material and methods The data of 69 patients who underwent 212 hepatic artery chemoembolization procedures for malignant neoplasms in the liver were analyzed. The group of transradial access included 107 (50.5 %) interventions, the group of transfemoral access – 105 (49.5 %). The groups were comparable in terms of the main initial clinical and anamnestic data.

Results Chemoembolization of the hepatic artery was successfully performed in 98.1 % in the transradial access group and 99 % in the transfemoral access group (p = 1.0). The total duration of intervention, time spent on catheterization of the target artery and radiation exposure were significantly shorter in the transradial access group than in the opposite group. The incidence of local vascular complications was not significantly different between the groups: 11 (10.3 %) and 12 (11.4 %) cases, respectively (p = 0.79). According to the results of patient interviews, the use of transradial access was accompanied by significantly less discomfort associated with the procedure.

Discussion Traditionally, embolization of peripheral arteries is performed via transfemoral access, and the total incidence of local vascular complications (large subcutaneous hematomas, false aneurysms, arterovenous fistulas, etc.) is relatively high. According to the results of studies, it is possible to reduce the incidence of local vascular complications without increasing the cost of the procedure by performing the same interventions using transradial access.

Conclusion Transradial vascular access has a number of significant advantages over transfemoral access, and therefore can be recommended as a priority for performing hepatic artery chemoembolization.

Published: October 2023

Introduction Among the diseases of urgent pathology the leading place belongs to acute pancreatitis, which is second only to acute appendicitis and acute cholecystitis. Moreover, a significant share is occupied by mild forms, which account for 85%. In the Clinical Recommendations for Acute pancreatitis in the section “Prevention and dispensary monitoring”, the authors recommend regular dispensary monitoring by a gastroenterologist and a surgeon. However, this nosology according to the Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation from 03.15.2022 No 168N is not included in the dispensary observation. In this regard, patients remain without proper attention of doctors when they are discharged from hospitals, or when they refuse hospitalization after examination in the emergency room.

The aim of the work – is to present the result of applying the diagnostic algorithm of differential diagnosis of diseases and detection of gastrointestinal tract pathology on the clinical example of a patient with recurrent abdominal pain syndrome.

Materials and methods The analysis of medical records of a 59-year-old patient who repeatedly applied to the network of polyclinics and hospitals providing emergency specialized medical care for recurrent abdominal syndrome was carried out.

Results and discussion In this clinical observation of recurrent abdominal syndrome in a patient, the biliary mask of acute pancreatitis was revealed. In outpatient conditions using the developed diagnostic algorithm, choledocholithiasis, juxtapapillary diverticulum of the duodenum and hernia of the esophageal aperture of the diaphragm were detected. The diagnosis made it possible to perform the treatment competently and lead to the patient's recovery. Thanks to the dispensary observation and additional methods of investigation according to the developed algorithm, the following were detected: juxtapapillary diverticulum of the duodenum, which may not be visualized at video esophagogastroduodenoscopy with direct optics, as well as ductal stones, which are not always visualized at transabdominal ultrasound and are detected at endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography or endoscopic ultrasonography. Difficulties may arise in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases due to the variability of the clinical course and polymorphism of symptoms in this category of patients. Such a course of diseases causes difficulties at the stage of patients' admission to the emergency room of clinics, can lead to diagnostic errors that lead to incorrect treatment tactics.

Conclusion The application of an algorithm based on the assessment of clinical criteria in conjunction with instrumental imaging methods and laboratory tests allowed to optimize the diagnostic process and facilitated the choice of optimal therapy and surgical tactics for the treatment of the patient with recurrent abdominal pain syndrome.

Published: October 2023

Research on human-computer interaction currently focuses on enhancing system usability by establishing an appropriate user interface (UI) that depends on users’ features. Online users typically have different perceptions of their favored interface design depending on their preferences. Thus, those interface preferences could be utilized to recognize online users’ identities. User authentication is another critical issue that should be considered to improve online security mechanisms without compromising usability. This study investigates the feasibility of using UI preferences as evidence of user identity. The proposed method applies to the design preferences of users dealing with online systems (e.g., e-exam and e-banking). These preferences are closely associated with individual characteristics, whether physical, cognitive, psychological, psychomotor, demographic, or experience based. Many design characteristics could be used in online systems; for example, the e-exam interface design may use features such as the font (size, color, and face), the number of questions per page, background color, questions group, timer type, and sound alert. The feasibility evaluation of this study indicated that 96.8% of research participants have variations in their preferences, and each participant kept 94.5% of their design preferences throughout different sessions.

Published: October 2023

China is the largest emitter of greenhouse gases globally, responsible for a substantial portion of the world's total carbon dioxide emissions. Many researchers investigated this issue; however, the literature is silent on how FinTech-based incentives can improve environmental performance. The research aims to shed light on the complex relationships among FinTech incentives, green consumer behavior, environmental consciousness, and environmental performance. Data was collected from 380 respondents representing diverse roles in the manufacturing industry. We used Smart-PLS and SPSS to test our hypothesis. The results confirm a positive relationship between FinTech incentives and green consumer behavior. However, consumer demographics and environmental awareness do not significantly moderate this relationship. The mediation analysis reveals that green consumer behavior mediates the relationship between FinTech incentives and environmental performance, while environmental consciousness mediates the relationship between FinTech incentives and green consumer behavior. Additionally, green consumer behavior mediates the relationship between environmental consciousness and environmental performance. The study's findings suggest that FinTech incentives effectively encourage eco-friendly choices, positively influencing environmental performance. This research contributes valuable insights for policymakers and businesses seeking to design effective environmental strategies and promote sustainability in the manufacturing industry. By leveraging FinTech incentives to encourage eco-friendly choices and foster environmental consciousness, businesses can contribute to a more sustainable future, aligning with global efforts to address environmental challenges and foster responsible consumption patterns in China and beyond.

Zahir ud-Din Muhammad Babur Shah Ghazi, one of most important rulers of Turkish and Islamic history, but little known in some countries, is an exceptional person who changed the flow of history. If it is expressed from today’s point of view, Babur Shah, the founder of the Baburs, is a lead-er, a person carrying “global characteristics”. He is a ruler, statesman, ad-ministrator, soldier, commander, writer, poet, calligrapher, musician, com-poser, Sufi and a good family head. With the state that he established, he changed not only political but also the socio-cultural structure of Indian geography. He carried the knowledge, wisdom, politics, state, technique, material and spiritual accumulation of the Ma wara’un-nahr to India. He had a forward-looking, multi-cultural perspective and a consciousness of living together. He was a distinguished personality and leader who success-fully carried out this thought and understanding. Babur Shah conceived the state and society as a mixture with Turkish, Mongolian, Persian and Indian Culture in Islam crucible. The Baburs succeeded that. This mixture extended to Anatolian geography. It is possible to see that Babur Shah laid the foundations of a state having global features in India, this state lived for four centuries and affected Asia and the world, and that changed the history of Asia. In this respect, some Western historians stated that Babur Shah was an exceptional leader in the world history, and they examined his life in every aspect. The founding Prime Minister of India, Nehru having intellectual features clearly stated that Babur Shah had an important place in the history of India in many ways. This historical truth can be a source of inspiration and a roadmap for today’s Indian State in the process of glo-balization.In our study, we will try to deal with Babur Shah’s personal characteristics, political stance, position, decisions and practices from a global perspective. We will evaluate the global heritage and characteristics of the civilization that the Baburs established in India in his presence.

In this work, the TiN coatings on Ti6Al4V and Si substrates were deposited by magnetron sputtering. The effect of sputtering powers on structure and mechanical properties of the TiN coatings was investigated. X-ray diffraction patterns displayed a single phase of face centered cubic structure. Scanning electron microscope observations found that the particle morphology of the TiN coatings changed from a leaf or flat-shaped structure to a tetrahedron faceted one, similar to a pyramid. The particle size and deposition rate increased with increasing sputtering power due to higher energy bombardment of ion gas to surface target. Furthermore, the highest hardness value (22,8 GPa ± 1,2 GPa) corresponds to the TiN coating deposited at 250 W power. Finally, the friction coefficient increased from 0,46 to 0,61 with increasing sputtering power from 150 to 300 W.

A 27 wt. % Cr white cast iron has been subjected to various austenitization heat treatments. The transformation of the matrix phase as well as the precipitation of secondary carbides at the austenitization temperature have been clearly determined in this paper. The results showed that secondary carbides precipitated along the defect sites of the austenitic phase at 900 oC during the austenitization. They grew up within austenit matrix, and there exist some retained austenit. The amount and size of secondary carbides increase as the austenitization temperature rises to 1000 oC. At 1050 oC/3 h, the size of secondary carbides reduces significantly with a high distribution density in the matrix phase. Higher austenitization temperatures cause the matrix to become more stable and make it more difficult to produce secondary carbides, as well as increase the number of defects in the matrix. The microhardness of the austenit matrix is affected a lot by how many and how big the secondary carbide particles are. At 1050 oC/3 h, the micro-hardness is the highest one. When the temperature of austenitization goes above 1050 oC, the micro-hardness of the matrix reduces.
Effects of gate cross-section area and vaccum pressure on mold filling in lost foam casting

The lost foam casting process utilizes polymeric foam patterns to produce the metallic components. Foamed polymer patterns are coated with a refractory slury, dried and embedded in unbonded sand. Molten metal is poured directly on the coated polymer. The polymer is thermally decomposed and is gradually replaced by the liquid metal to create the casting after solidification. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is the most common pattern material used in commercial practice. In this paper, experiments are conducted to examine the filling of an aluminum alloy melt into the molds. The purpose is to observe some parameters such as the gate cross-section area, vaccum pressure, gas gap length, metal pouring temperature in lost foam casting of aluminum. The results indicate that the gate section, metal pouring temperature and vaccum pressure affect directly the mold-filling time.
