The feasibility and effect of robot-assisted gait training frequency on gait functions in children with cerebral palsy – A single blinded, randomized pilot study
Authors: Alyahyaee Moza Obaid Saeed , Cheong Jinwoong , Kim Meeyoung
Published: March 2024

Introduction. The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility and the effect of Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) frequency on gait functions in children with diplegic cerebral palsy (CP). We hypothesized that RAGT with the increased frequency (4 times a week) will result in greater improvements than RAGT with the common frequency (2 times a week).
Material and methods. Fourteen participants with diplegic CP were assigned to two groups that received only RAGT at different frequencies. The treatment group (TG) received 24 sessions while the control group (CG) received only 12 sessions over 6 weeks. Gross motor function measure (GMFM) D, GMFM E, walking distance (6 minute-walk test), speed (10 meter-walk test), balance (Pediatric balance scale), and the quality of gait (Edinburgh visual gait score) were assessed. Data was collected twice, before and after RAGT intervention period. Also, the feasibility was assessed by the safety and the rates of recruitment, compliance, and adherence.
Result. There was significant improvement in GMFM D, GMFM E, walking distance, balance, and the quality of gait in both groups (p < 0.05). Walking speed has been significantly improved only in TG. The difference in the quality of gait is greater in TG (p < 0.01) compared to CG (p < 0.05). The recruitment rate was 70%. 100% of recruited participants complied with and adhered to the intervention. No adverse events were reported.
Conclusion. RAGT with the increased frequency could induce greater improvement in gait functions than RAGT with the common frequency in children with diplegic CP.

Education Technology and the Failure of American Schools
Authors: Stallard Charles K. , Cocker Julie
Published: March 2024

This book looks at the progress of American education in the use of technology since the publication of Stallard and Cocker's last book, The Promise of Technology in Schools: The Next Twenty Years. Fifteen years after its publication, they find little significant difference in the way K-12 schools are using technology to improve student achievement. Education Technology and the Failure of American Schools offers a broad and penetrating look at the American educational system to determine why progress is so lacking. What is found is a system that has far outlived its functionality in terms of governance, organization, and professional practices. American schools are compared to those of nations whose students regularly outperform them on international tests of achievement. The authors offer a bold approach to educational reform that will irritate many who now consider themselves educational leaders. The final chapter makes offers a new approach to education in the primary grades, one that will surprise those lobbying for more computers for those early learning years. This is a must-read for anyone concerned about American education.

The contributors of this book:

Offer clear examples of what is missing in the average school experience

Explain why teaching and school administration are not true professions

Discuss levels of failure from the federal level to the local school administration

Describe how the present system came into being

Compare educational reform efforts with those in actual professions

Explain the basic misapplication of technology in the present system
Teaching with Purpose
Authors: Kirylo James D.
Published: March 2024

For five days a week for approximately nine months out of the year totaling countless hours, teachers work with other people’s most treasured gifts—their children. That the teacher is the most important element in fostering an energetic, engaging, and inspiring classroom environment where authentic learning can unfold cannot be overstated. Indeed, it is the teacher who understands self or does not; it is the teacher who is prepared or is not; it is the teacher who has command of subject matter or does not; it is the teacher who inculcates in an appropriate way or does not; and, it is the teacher who is patient, understanding, empathetic, and enthusiastic or is not. To that end, Teaching With Purpose underscores what it means to be an insightful teacher, foundationally emphasizing that the central aspect toward richly transforming education is through the professionalization of what it means to be a teacher. Written in accessible language, and attentive to connecting theory to practice, the benefits and features of this book are mindful of a diverse readership.
Embracing Social Media
Authors: Magette Kristin
Published: March 2024

The suggestion of embracing social media in schools triggers a variety of reactions, from excitement to outright refusal.

Healthy Teens, Healthy Schools
Authors: Domine Vanessa
Published: March 2024

Widespread obesity, poor nutrition, sleep-deprivation, and highly digital and sedentary lifestyles are just a few of the many challenges facing young people. Although public schools in the United States have the potential for meeting these challenges on a mass scale, they are slow to respond. The emphasis on discrete subject areas and standardized test performance offers little in the way of authentic learning and may in reality impede health. Healthy Teens, Healthy Schools: How Media Literacy Education can Renew Education in the United States reframes health education as a complex terrain that resides within a larger ecosystem of historical, social, political, and global economic forces. It calls for a media literate pedagogy that empowers students to be critical consumers, creative producers, and responsible citizens. This book illustrates holistic health education through school-community initiatives and innovative partnerships that are successful in magnifying all curriculum subjects and their associated teaching practices. Vanessa Domine offers teachers, teacher educators, school administrators, community organizers, public health professionals, and policy makers with a transmedia and transdisciplinary educational approach to adolescent health to demonstrate how our collective focus on cultivating healthy teens will ultimately yield healthy schools.
Sold Out
Authors: Molnar Alex , Boninger Faith
Published: March 2024

If you strip away the rosy language of “school-business partnership,” “win-win situation,” “giving back to the community,” and the like, what you see when you look at corporate marketing activities in the schools is example after example of the exploitation of children for financial gain.

Over the long run the financial benefit marketing in schools delivers to corporations rests on the ability of advertising to “brand” students and thereby help insure that they will be customers for life. This process of “branding” involves inculcating the value of consumption as the primary mechanism for achieving happiness, demonstrating success, and finding fulfillment. Along the way, “branding” children – just like branding cattle – inflicts pain.

Yet school districts, desperate for funding sources, often eagerly welcome marketers and seem not to recognize the threats that marketing brings to children’s well-being and to the integrity of the education they receive.

Given that all ads in school pose some threat to children, it is past time for considering whether marketing activities belong in school. Schools should be ad-free zones.
Teaching that Matters
Authors: Thoms Frank
Published: March 2024

Teaching that Matters invites principals and teachers to make changes that will allow all students to succeed. Thoms urges administrators and teachers to reconsider traditional practices in light of today’s media-driven culture and digitally wired students. While sensitive to the challenges schools face Thoms is relentless in offering strategies to meet these challenges. Rather than focus on improving test scores, Teaching that Matters advocates that teachers teach to a child’s whole symphony, not only to one note. If students only learn to succeed on bubble tests, they will not have opportunities to discover their true potential. Thoms sees the teaching process as a joint venture between teacher and student where the teacher brings learning to the student and, at the same time, brings the student to the learning. This process demands at least as much listening as talking, a new habit that teachers and principals need to learn. By meeting innovative principals and teachers who engage students, this book will help you to learn to change traditional classroom practices into exciting alternatives.

Questioning Assumptions and Challenging Perceptions
Authors: Schaffer Connie L. , White Meg , Brown Corine Meredith
Published: March 2024

For a moment, consider “you don’t know what you don’t know”. What individuals know about urban schools is often based on assumptions and perceptions. It is important for individuals to examine these assumptions and perceptions of urban schools and the students who attend them.

While many textbooks support how teachers should teach students in urban settings, this book asserts individuals can be effective teachers in these settings only if they first develop an understanding urban schools and the students who attend them. As readers progress through the chapters, they will realize they don’t know what they don’t know.

Within a framework of cognitive dissonance, readers will continuously examine and reexamine their personal beliefs and perceptions. Readers will also investigate new information and varied perspectives related to urban schools. When readers finish this book, they will be on their way to becoming effective teachers in urban environments.

The Hidden Lives of Congregations
Authors: Galindo Israel
Published: March 2024

Faced with crisis, lack of direction, or just plain "stuckness," many congregations and their leaders are content to deal only with surface issues and symptoms—only to discover that the same problems keep recurring, often in different, and more serious, ways. In The Hidden Lives of Congregations, Christian educator and consultant Israel Galindo takes leaders below the surface of congregational life to provide a comprehensive, holistic look at the corporate nature of church relationships and the invisible dynamics at play. Informed by family systems theory and grounded in a wide-ranging ecclesiological understanding, Galindo unpacks clearly the factors of congregational lifespan, size, spirituality, and identity and shows how these work together to form the congregation’s hidden life. He provides useful tools for diagnosing and understanding how one’s congregation fits into the various categories he names and suggests what leadership skills are necessary to get beyond the impasse of surface issues and help the congregation achieve its mission.

The Hidden Lives of Congregations provides one of the most far-reaching looks into the invisible nature of faith communities written in recent years. For seminaries and divinity schools, it provides a standard text for getting a solid start in congregational practices; for experienced pastors, it provides support for renewing ministry; for lay leaders and committees, it offers insight to deepening mutual ministry. Israel Galindo has written an indispensable manual that leaders will return to repeatedly for new wisdom and guidance
The Honest to God Church
Authors: Bixby Doug
Published: March 2024

Doug Bixby knows that many of us have had enough of the liberal vs. conservative battles in the church. In The Honest to God Church, Bixby demonstrates how these extremes have distracted us from our true calling as conduits for God's grace--both individually and as congregations. Many churches see themselves as "okay," while everyone outside the church is "not okay." These churches embrace an ethic of perfection rather than love. Often they are very judgmental and rigid; little room exists for grace after a person is converted. Legalism, rather than love, becomes the primary defining characteristic; people pretend to be perfect even though they are not. In reaction to this approach, many churches have replaced judgmentalism with an ethic of tolerance. But tolerating someone is not the same thing as loving them. Tolerance demands only that we give people space. Love is deeper and more significant and demands that we enter into their space. Besides, if on our own we are okay, then why do we need God and one another? Bixby recommends we embrace the teaching of Martin Luther that we all are saints and sinners simultaneously. Churches that do this raise disciples who readily admit their sin and brokenness and see God's grace as the only means for straightening out their lives. Bixby encourages all congregations to live this way--authentically and transparently--so that we do not have to pretend that we are okay when we are not. Bixby challenges us to respond to Jesus's call to come as we are, not as we think we ought to be.
The Multigenerational Congregation
Authors: Rendle Gilbert R.
Published: March 2024

Congregations need to learn new cultural languages and practices in order to speak to and be heard by new generations of people. But how do congregations enter the wilderness of ministry with these new generations when many of those in the entourage do not appreciate the trip? In contrast to many writers about church growth, Rendle works with three important observations: (1) Most congregations are not "pure markets," discrete groups with uniform values and behaviors, that can be targeted to the exclusion of all other audiences; (2) Some of the differences and discomforts experienced in the congregation are based on the members' tenure, or length of membership, rather than their age; and (3) Leadership in congregations is not a matter of marketplace savvy but of spiritual authenticity in which we continue to shape our faith tradition to be heard and understood by a changing culture.
The Postindustrial Promise
Authors: Healy Anthony
Published: March 2024

Tales of demise and decline have come to characterize news on the state of religion and congregations in America. In The Postindustrial Promise, author Anthony Healy finds that the changes in religious life and among congregations are being misunderstood. Instead of seeing the changes as the result of the presumed aspects of postmodern life—individualism, the collapse of social groups, and the scrapping of tradition—Healy sees what has occurred as a postindustrial transformation, in which an economy based on manufacturing has been replaced by one based on corporate and consumer services. This transformation has changed what we value and how we live, as well as how we work. It has also changed congregations and religious life, but not necessarily in the way that many people think. Contrary to the stories of decline, Healy finds that in this time of postindustrial dislocation people are again putting down religious roots. Congregations are making it possible for people to reconnect with the stories and traditions of previous generations and have become the places in society where the reembodying of religious and cultural narratives is taking place. Different from the postmodern script, this postindustrial explanation leads us to fresh insights into the change that has occurred among religious bodies, their congregants, and their communities. This book provides pastors, lay leaders, teachers, scholars, and seminarians with a solid grounding in the basic aspects of the postindustrial transformation and offers direction to help religious leaders develop responsive and viable places of ministry, mission, and program in this time of change.
A Time for Change?
Authors: Hightower James , Gilliam W. Craig
Published: March 2024

Many professional ministers struggle at some point with the desire to pursue another career. For those at such a place on their journey, this book poses questions, offers practical suggestions gathered from other ministers who have traveled this path, and shares insights from the authors' own experiences of career change.

The authors emphasize two principles. First, entertaining the possibility of leaving professional ministry is not to be condemned or viewed as a sign of failure; rather, it should be accepted as part of the spiritual journey. Second, a new career apart from the institutional church does not mean one is leaving the ministry, but simply that one is changing the mode of expressing that ministry.

With the heart of a pastor, Jones shows congregational leaders how to embrace the best parts of their church's rich heritage and reclaim it for a new day.

Using the DIC Technique in Damage Detection for a Cantilevered Composite Beam
Authors:   Rzeszow University of Technology, Rzepka Anna ,   Rzeszow University of Technology, Ziaja Dominika
Published: March 2024

The subject of the article is the use of the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique in tests of damage

detection in a composite cantilevered beam. Laboratory tests of the beam were conducted using the Q-400 system

from Dantec Dynamics GmbH. The research aimed to study the behaviour of the structure under external forces

and to analyse the influence of cross-section damage on the displacement field of the beam. The analysed quantities

were also the changes in strain fields of the structure. For the laboratory model, the finite element models were

prepared, and satisfactory compliance in terms of displacement fields between numerical and laboratory models

for undamaged structure was obtained. The research has shown, that it is possible to indicate the approximate

location of damage based on the information about changes in the displacement field.

Islamic Education Marketing Management
Authors: Holilur Rahman  , Madhar Amin  , Mustaminah
Published: March 2024

In an era of increasingly fierce competition, Islamic educational institutions are considered as the main producers of Islamic education services that must market their services to consumers, namely students  and student guardians, as well as other related parties. The success of an Islamic educational institution in maintaining its existence is highly dependent on its ability to market its educational services well, fulfill consumer needs, provide added value for individual development, and create a good image in the eyes of the community. This research aims to examine the concept and importance of marketing management in the context of Islamic educational institutions. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach to collect data and analyze the concept of Islamic education marketing management. Data were collected through searching related literature from various sources. The results show that Islamic education marketing management is an effort to plan, implement and supervise marketing activities in Islamic education institutions in order to achieve organizational goals efficiently and effectively. The concept of Islamic education marketing management involves the strategy of determining the target market, competitive market position, and marketing mix which includes product, price, place, promotion, human resources, physical evidence, and process. By implementing the right marketing strategy, Islamic education institutions can increase their attractiveness, maintain their sustainability, and provide quality and relevant educational services for the community. This research makes an important contribution to the understanding of the importance of marketing management in the context of Islamic educational institutions. The implications of this research are expected to be the basis for developing effective marketing strategies in improving the existence and quality of Islamic education services in the community.
Ideal Realism—Real Idealism
Authors: Kallio Lauri ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: March 2024

The paper discusses three talks, which were given at the meetings of the Philosophical Society of Berlin (Philosophische Gesellschaft zu Berlin) in the mid-1870s. In these talks, the principles of some main movements in contemporary philosophy (realism, absolute idealism, critical idealism) were elaborated and contrasted to each other. The paper focuses on the concepts of real-idealism and ideal-realism. All the discussants, Friedrich Frederichs, C. L. Michelet and J. H. von Kirchmann, introduce these concepts. Frederichs, an adherent of critical idealism, argues only for the standpoint of real-idealism. Michelet, G. W. F. Hegel’s personal student and an adherent of absolute idealism, takes real-idealism and ideal-realism to be the two sides of the one coin. Kirchmann, an advocate of realism, regards real-idealism as an objective, and he is skeptical about the possibility to achieve it
Why the Embodied Emotion Theory Is Better than the Evaluative
Authors: Zhang Yu ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: March 2024

Supporters of the Evaluative Judgment Theories of Emotion mainly explore emotions from the perspective of cognitive evaluation and advocate that emotions are evaluative judgments. The Perceptual Theories of Emotion have made some modifications to the evaluative judgment of emotions, attempting to propose better theories. The Perceptual Theories of Emotion advocate verifying the similarities between emotions and perceptions through analogical reasoning. However, the Perceptual Theories of Emotion also have their problems. Compared to the Evaluative Judgment Theories of Emotion and the Perceptual Theories of Emotion, the Embodied Emotion Theory has significant advantages, mainly reflected in avoiding the drawbacks of over-intellectualize emotions by evaluative judgments; infants and animals can also understand emotions through non-conceptualized ways of self-awareness and understanding of social rules and norms; the core relational property of emotions revealed in the embodied emotion theory demonstrates the action orientation of emotions, connects the organism’s body and external environment, and integrates both biological and social aspects, further clarifying the complexity and diversity of emotions.

A significant turning point in Jammu and Kashmir's sociopolitical environment occurred in 2019 with the removal of Article 370, which created new opportunities for regional integration and economic expansion. The purpose of this research is to investigate how the talks, agreements, and policies at the G20 Summit have shaped the post Abrogation developmental narrative in the area. Through the use of a multifaceted analytical approach that takes into account social parameters, diplomatic engagements, and economic indicators, the paper seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of how global geopolitical dynamics—best exemplified by the G20 Summit—affect Jammu and Kashmir's developmental prospects. The results are anticipated to add to the growing body of knowledge about the relationship between international forums and regional development by illuminating possible paths for international collaboration and support in promoting sustainable development in this area.
