The article attempts to identify the features of introducing inclusive practices into each subject area in teacher education. In the modern world, the introduction of inclusive practices into the education system is one of the leading strategies of a developed state. In accordance with the State Program for the Development of Education in Kazakhstan, inclusive education has been gradually introduced since 2011, designed to provide psychological and pedagogical support for the learning process of children with special educational needs needs in a public school. An increasing number of schoolchildren with special educational needs are enrolling in general education schools at their place of residence, and their education requires teachers to have the appropriate knowledge, skills, and professional competencies. Currently, educational organizations are in dire need of teachers who can work professionally with different categories of students, including children with disabilities, autistic children, gifted children, etc. The need for teachers who are able to work simultaneously with students with different educational needs is increasing, since educational organizations are implementing one of the important provisions of the Law on Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which is to “ensure equal access to education for all students, taking into account special educational needs and individual capabilities”. In the Concept for the Development of Inclusive Education in the Republic of Kazakhstan dated January 12, 2021, one of the state’s political strategies is “... the full inclusion of all children in the general educational process, their social adaptation, despite age, gender, ethnic and religious affiliation, developmental delays through the active participation of the family, correctional, pedagogical and social support for the personal needs of the child”.

Authors: Sriyono Heru
Published: April 2024

This study aims to analyze the effect of principal leadership and work discipline on teacher performance in private vocational schools in South Jakarta. The research method used is a survey method with multiple correlational regression techniques, involving 80 teachers as samples. The results showed that there is a significant influence of the principal's leadership and work discipline together on the performance of teachers in private vocational schools in South Jakarta (Sig. = 0.000 <0.05, F Count = 11.295). In addition, there is a significant effect of principal leadership on teacher performance (Sig. = 0.000 < 0.04, T = 2.931) and a significant effect of work discipline on teacher performance (Sig = 0.037 < 0.05, T = 2.115). The implication of this study is the important role of principal leadership and work discipline in improving teacher performance in private vocational schools. This provides a clear picture for education practitioners and policy makers about the need for effective leadership development and consistent application of work discipline in schools. Thus, it is expected to create a more productive and quality educational environment for students, teachers and all education stakeholders in South Jakarta.
The Southern Baptist Convention’s Resolution on the Alternative Right: Making Progress on the Upward / Downward Way
Authors: Althouse Matthew T. , Anderson Floyd D. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: April 2024

At its 2017 meeting, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) encountered controversy when it initially declined to debate a resolution condemning the “Alt-Right”—a movement representing ideologies that promote white nationalism in America. Given the SBC’s recent efforts to embrace diversity, many of the denomination’s members thought such a resolution would be supported. A version of the resolution was ultimately approved but only after the SBC faced accusations of bigotry. In this article, we argue that the controversy, although jarring, is instructive. Without open disagreement, expressions of suffering, and public redress, religious individuals and groups cannot heal wounds inflicted by racism.
Fight the Power: Lecrae - a New Evangelical Archetype
Authors: Williams Kesha Morant , Banjo Omotayo O. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: April 2024

Whereas biblical texts were used to justify the practice of discrimination and prejudice, Christian principles have also been the motivation for social activism. However, today it is arguable that the Christian church has lost sight of this mission in light of other goals such as expansion and profit. Rapper Lecrae Moore has been the topic of controversy as his music aims to carry out the mission of social justice by intentionally challenging the assumptions of whiteness rooted in the institution of the American Christian Church. Using Stewart’s (1980) functional approach to the rhetoric of social movements, this study examines the extent to which Lecrae uses his music to transform perceptions of history, transform perceptions of society, and prescribe a course of action. The mission of this research and arguably of Lecrae’s work is to hold people of the Christian faith across all races accountable to the mission and biblical commands of unity and social justice often overlooked or dismissed in the American church.
“Being Refined into a Better Form”: The Structuration Process of Missionary Identification
Authors: Ault Michael K. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: April 2024

Despite the steep decline in organized religious affiliation in the United States, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly known as Mormons, has continued to see consistent growth and stability in the organization. One way this Church maintains its organizational and cultural structure is through its mission program. This program institutionalizes and standardizes a large-scale rite of passage so as to foster structural understanding and commitment. Using a structurational model of identification, this study examined the missionary experience of 38 prospective, active, and recently returned missionaries and how the missionary experience influences the rules and resources that make up an individual’s identity. Constant comparative analysis revealed that missionaries experienced a rite of passage through three identity-shaping processes: divestiture, individualizing the missionary identity, and mastering the missionary identity. Further, this study demonstrated that missionaries and returned missionaries use rules and resources developed through missionary service to influence the production and reproduction of the Mormon structure through individual development, family construction, and organizational service.
The Apostle Paul and the Early Practice of Public Relations
Authors: Medel Ismael Lopez , Ferguson Denise ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: April 2024

Communication played a central role in the development of the early Christian Church. This paper will examine public relations practices in the ministry of the Apostle Paul, examining the accuracy of describing his communication activities as a form of public relations. Furthermore, we will examine claims by public historians about Paul’s missionary work as a “public relations campaign.” This paper will argue that although the modern practice of public relations navigates an increasingly complex environment, there are manifestations of what can be considered early forms of public relations in Paul’s campaign to spread the gospel.
Why Professor Habermas Would Fail a Class on Dialectic of Enlightenment
Authors: Freyenhagen Fabian ,   Saint Louis University
Published: April 2024

Would Habermas’s “The Entwinement of Myth and Enlightenment” pass muster as coursework in a class on Dialectic of Enlightenment? Using this polemical thought experiment setup as an estrangement device, I critically discuss Habermas’s essay that was pivotal in his repositioning of Critical Theory in the 1980s. I argue that it is philosophically and biographically unreflective; and that he is engaging in underhanded politicking. I sketch an alternative reading of Dialectic of Enlightenment: instead of viewing it as the dead end that Habermas presents it to be, we can see as a self-therapeutical exercise in destabilizing a complacent self-conception whereby modernity is the pinnacle of moral progress—an exercise which might have a certain exemplarity for others in the ongoing quest of making use of our own understanding. The contribution is rounded off with a postscript by a second assessor of Habermas’s essay, discussing both the proposed assessment and the polemical thought experiment.
Revisiting the Liberal Case against Liberal Eugenics
Authors: Lafont Cristina ,   Saint Louis University
Published: April 2024

In his book The Future of Human Nature, Habermas argues against the moral and legal permissibility of any future practices of genetic human enhancement as well as against current practices such as embryonic research or preimplantation genetic diagnosis. After analyzing the core of Habermas’s argument against positive eugenics, I argue that his attempt to derive a principle of abstention under uncertainty from the principle of counterfactual consent assumes that non-interference is the proper default norm in the absence of consent. Yet, this cannot be a plausible default norm for parental relationships. Moreover, since Habermas agrees that the no-harm principle justifies negative eugenics, once technical possibilities of genetic manipulation become available, non-interference becomes as much in need of normative justification as interference. I conclude that if our normative innocence regarding positive eugenics must be lost for the sake of negative eugenics, then it is an innocence well lost.

Published: April 2024

The main purpose of the study was to determine the proficiency skills needed by teachers for optimal performances in motor vehicle mechanics work in technical colleges in Adamawa and Taraba States. The study was guided by two research questions and two null hypotheses. The study which adopted descriptive survey research design was conducted in Adamawa and Taraba States. The population of the study was 123 respondents comprising 81 MVMW teachers and 42 instructors from all the 21 BEST Centres and Government Science and Technical colleges in Adamawa and Taraba States, Nigeria. There was no sampling as the entire population was used because it was manageable. A structured questionnaire tagged: Proficiency Skills Needs of Motor Vehicle Mechanics Works Teachers Questionnaire (PSNMVMWTQ) was validated by three experts. The Instrument was trial tested in Gombe State and the Cronbach Alpha reliability method was used to test the reliability of the instrument and a 0.84 reliability coefficient was obtained. Data collected for the study was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27.0. Mean statistics was used to answer the two research questions while a t-test was used to test the null hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed among others that 35 technical skills were considered needed by MVMW teachers. Similarly, 25 ICT skills were considered as ‘needed’. Importantly, there were no significant differences between instructors and MVMW teachers regarding the perceived importance of these skills. It is recommended that to address the technical skills gaps identified, particularly in the use of diagnostic tools and performing necessary repairs, it is recommended that the Technical College Management Board should organize workshops and practical training sessions. These initiatives should emphasize hands-on experience with diagnostic equipment, connecting tools appropriately, and interpreting trouble codes.

Authors: Branton Philip A. , Sobin Leslie , Barcus Mary , Engel Kelly B. , Greytak Sarah R. , Guan Ping , Vaught Jim , Moore Helen M.
Published: April 2024

Context.—

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project was designed to evaluate how genetic variation and epigenetic effects influence gene expression in normal tissue.

Objective.—

To ensure that the grossly normal-appearing tissues collected were free from disease, each specimen underwent histologic evaluation.

Design.—

In total, nearly 30 000 tissue aliquots collected from almost 1000 postmortem donors underwent histologic review by project pathologists, and detailed observations of any abnormalities or lesions present were recorded.

Results.—

Despite sampling of normal-appearing tissue, in-depth review revealed incidental findings among GTEx samples that included neoplastic, autoimmune, and genetic conditions; the incidence of some of these conditions among GTEx donors differed from those previously reported for other populations. A number of age-related abnormalities observed during histologic review of tissue specimens are also described.

Conclusions.—

Histologic findings from the GTEx project may serve to improve populational awareness of several conditions and present a unique opportunity for others to explore age- and sex-influenced conditions. Resources from the study, including histologic image and sequencing data, are publicly available for research.
A Comparison of the Smile Esthetic Understanding of Periodontists, Orthodontists, General Dentists, and Dental Students
Authors: Altindal Dicle , Tunca Yasemin
Published: April 2024

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate smile esthetics among periodontists, orthodontists, general dentists, and dental students.
Methods: The study consisted of five groups: periodontists, orthodontists, general dentists, fifth-year dental students, and fourth-year dental students. The evulaters used the Smile Esthetics Index (SEI) consisting of 10 items to analyze the natural smile photographs of 15 different individuals. One-way ANOVA was performed for the comparison of group means. The Duncan multiple comparison test was also used to identify different groups. Non-linear principal component analysis was performed to determine the configuration of the relationship between categories of variables in two-dimensional space.
Results: The group with the highest reliability coefficient among the groups was the fourth-year dental students (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.89). This was followed by general dentists, periodontists, fifth-year dental students, and orthodontists. According to the evaluation of the total score averages of the fifteen pictures, a statistically significant difference was observed between the groups (p = 0.041). Accordingly, the fourth-year dental students (5.78 ±1 .13) had a lower total score than the fifth-year dental students (6.56 ± 0.88), and this difference was statistically significant. However, no significant difference was observed between the fourth-year dental students and the general and specialized dentists and between the fifth-year dental students and graduated and specialized dentists in terms of the total score given to the pictures.
Conclusion: It was observed that the reliability coefficient was high in all groups evaluated with SEI. It can be concluded that esthetic perception is formed by actively performing the profession of dentistry, and this situation does not change according to specialization.
Profitability as an Intervening Variable of the Effect of Dividend Policy and Leverage on the Value of LQ45 Companies Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange
Authors: Pramana Tika , Adam Mohamad , Widiyanti Marlina , Isnurhadi Isnurhadi
Published: April 2024

This study seeks to gather empirical evidence regarding the impact of Dividend Policy and Leverage on the performance of LQ45 Companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Purposive sampling was employed to select the research samples, resulting in 21 companies being included in the study for the period spanning from 2019 to 2022, constituting 84 units of analysis. The research methodology adopted a quantitative descriptive approach, with path analysis being the chosen analytical technique. The findings indicate that neither leverage nor Dividend Policy directly affects Profitability. However, both Leverage and Profitability significantly positively influence firm value, whereas Dividend Policy does not. Moreover, Profitability serves as a mediator in the relationship between Dividend Policy and Firm Value but does not mediate the connection between Leverage and Firm Value. This study underscores the importance for companies to carefully consider their leverage and profitability, which can significantly impact firm value and ultimately enhance overall company performance.

Sexual Violence and Human Rights in Indonesia, is a crucial issue in Indonesia, taking away the human rights and dignity of victims. Stigma and lack of protection exacerbate the situation. This article examines the relationship between sexual violence and human rights in Indonesia, and explores solutions for building a future free from sexual violence. This research uses a sociolegal method (mix method) with statutory, conceptual, factual, sociological and comparative approaches. Primary data was obtained from field research in Bali, and secondary data from various sources. Sexual violence is a serious human rights violation, and states have an obligation to protect victims and enforce the law. Stigma and lack of access to recovery services hinder the fulfillment of victims' rights. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and other human rights instruments affirm the right to security, freedom and dignity. Sexual violence violates these human rights principles. Collective efforts are needed to build an Indonesia free from sexual violence. These efforts include: Strengthening regulations and law enforcement. Increase public education and awareness. Building a support and recovery system for victims. Combat stigma and build positive narratives about victims. This research contributes to the understanding of the relationship between sexual violence and human rights in Indonesia, and offers solutions to build a better future for victims.

Language cannot be separated from socio-cultural influences because language use is the reality of communication that occurs in social interactions. This article uses the systematic literature review method which in this method uses in-depth review studies and uses references from articles, books and research journals. The purpose of this study is to find out about Chinese language learning from a socio-cultural point of view. Language and culture viewed in balance are significant in foreign language teaching. Successful communication between two communicators from different cultures does not depend on mastery of linguistic aspects, including grammar and sociopragmatic structures, but also on the ability to capture, understand and empathize with the culture of the communication partner. This shows that there is harmony between foreign language and culture and one's own language and culture.
Analysis of The Implementation of Sustainable Food Agricultural Land Protection Policy in Bandung District: A Case Study of Rice Field Conversion in Cikancung District
Authors: Wirapradeksa Hanggas
Published: April 2024

The policy of sustainable protection of agricultural land becomes crucial in addressing land degradation and land use conversion, especially from agriculture to non-agriculture, alongside the increasing demand for land due to population growth and economic development, which can lead to negative impacts such as a decrease in food security, marginalization of agricultural land, and an increase in flood risks. This research aims to analyze the implementation of the Sustainable Protection of Food Agricultural Land Policy, understand the rate of paddy field conversion, and identify trends in land conversion after the policy's enforcement. This study employs a qualitative approach, with data obtained through interviews, observations, and documentary studies. The research is conducted in Bandung Regency, with samples taken from Cikancung Sub-district, Bandung Regency, West Java Province. Informants involved in this research are selected through judgment sampling and are individuals related to the sustainable protection of agricultural land policy and relevant stakeholders. Data analysis is conducted using qualitative and spatial analysis. The research findings indicate that the implementation of sustainable agricultural land protection policy in Bandung Regency is still in the socialization and planning stages. Based on spatial analysis, the implementation of the policy in Cikancung Sub-district has led to the conversion of paddy fields, particularly in non-technical irrigation paddy fields, predominantly converted into industrial land. This conversion covers a total area of 20.3 hectares, with the most significant change occurring in non-technical irrigation paddy fields converted into industries, covering an area of 13.7 hectares. Based on internal, external, and policy analysis, it can be concluded that the policy implementation in Cikancung Sub-district has not been optimal in addressing the conversion of paddy fields.
Dalung Bojong in The Construction of a Hierarchical System of Regulations
Authors: Murdiana Elfa , Rodliyah Nunung , Wijayati Mufliha , Oktora Nency Della
Published: April 2024

This article describes the elements arranged in the Bojong dalung inscription born in the XVI-XVII centuries. By using the study of legal texts on the Dalung Bojong Inscription and the study of concepts in legal science, a hierarchy of regulatory systems in the form of values, principles, and legal acts was found. Values are the basis for the birth of principles and principles are the basis for the birth of legal acts explicitly contained in eleven articles. The values of divinity, humanity, nationality, democracy, and justice are the basis of values that give birth to the consensualist principle, the principle of equality, the principle of protection, the principle of legal certainty, the principle of territoriality, and the principle of personality. These six principles became the basis for the birth of legal acts in the form of Participation (Article 5), Crimes Against the Body; Quarreling or fighting among people (article 2), Inciting a struggle (article 3), Crimes against property; theft by force/robbery (article 4), theft (article 10) and Crimes of disturbing public safety; Article 6,7 and Article 10 on gambling, drinking intoxicating beverages.
Religious Figures as Philosophers
Authors: Cook Kathryn Elizabeth
Published: April 2024

This article looks at narratives of major religious figures to draw similarities with the philosophical way of dialogue, modeled on the maieutic example set by Socrates, and makes a case that these religious figures ought to be considered and appreciated as philosophers. The study employs Critical Discourse Analysis in order to understand the interactions between religious figures, protagonists, other characters, and the reader. Conclusions address philosophical attitudes and techniques that match the Socratic Method in order to build the case that the religious figure provokes thinking and challenges paradigm as a philosopher does. The examples include being agile in interpretation, using absurdity and paradox, playing with irony, teaching with allegory, to develop meaning in dialogue with the other. The origins of philosophy begin with a way of life, a method of provoking thinking, an interest in examining and questioning what it is to be human. Systemic philosophy and its closely related sister religion have developed into formal disciplines of distinguished paradigms, where dogmatic beliefs are prioritized over freedom of inquiry. Yet this study makes the case that important figures of major religions were working with their interlocutors on how to think, not what to think.

Z każdym  rokiem w Polsce przybywa osób po amputacji kończyn dolnych. Trudności jakie stają przed pacjentem po amputacji  powodują że zaprotezowanie i jakość życia związana z tym faktem nie jest zadowalająca na tyle, aby zostały podjęte zwykłe czynności dnia codziennego. Rezygnacja z tradycyjnego zaprotezowania unieruchamia pacjentów po amputacjach na wózku inwalidzkim, który wydaje się być wygodniejszym rozwiązaniem, od zmagania się z powikłaniami jakie występują przy tradycyjnym zaprotezowaniu. Ten pozorny komfort niesie ze sobą szereg powikłań, które w efekcie doprowadzają do znacznego skrócenia przeżywalności pacjentów po amputacjach kończyn dolnych. Celem pracy jest przedstawienie alternatywnej  metody protezowania jaką jest osseointegracja, powikłań związanych z zabiegiem i okresem pooperacyjnym oraz  analiza dotychczasowej literatury.   Oceniono również własne doświadczenia na podstawie  wykonanych 14 zabiegów osseointegracji. Omówiono wstępne wyniki w zakresie zebranego materiału, jak i  wykazano korzyści wynikające z zastosowania protezowania pacjentów metodą osseointegracji.

The elderly are one of the population groups that are vulnerable to various health problems. Proper education and health screenings can improve quality of life and prevent diseases that often occur in old age. This service activity aims to identify effective educational approaches and types of health checks that are important for the elderly. Service activities are carried out in the form of free examinations and health counseling to provide information and education about health for the elderly. For counseling activities using the lecture method and focus group discussion. Results show that an integrated educational approach, including information on healthy lifestyles, chronic disease management, and the importance of active socialisation, has a positive impact on elderly health knowledge and behaviours. risk of complications. It can be concluded that education and medical examination are two important aspects of caring for the elderly. An integrated, holistic educational approach can improve the elderly's health knowledge and behaviours, while regular health checkups can help detect health problems early and reduce the risk of complications.

Published: April 2024

Due to the increasing pace of renovation, the volume of work on the demolition of real estate objects is increasing. In the process of dismantling structures, there are threats and risks of environmental hazards caused by the man-made impact of the dismantling processes. A significant technospheric danger is the formation of toxic waste. Based on a systematic analysis of demolition methods and technologies, the paper proposes an organizational and technical scheme for the separate collection and accumulation of waste from dismantled objects, based on the principles of resource conservation, reuse of waste resource components, ensuring the prevention of environmental hazards in the sources of its formation.

The issue of diagnosing the operational and technical readiness for emergency response to fire risks of special-purpose vehicles is considered according to the criteria for the acceptable efficiency of the functioning of power plants of fire vehicles under operating conditions. An original instrumental apparatus is proposed for the implementation of an intelligent diagnostic process, including a working mathematical and analytical model in the form of a system of multiple regression equations, which relates the efficiency indicators of fuel equipment adjustments (cyclic fuel supply gc nom, injection pressure Rinj, free section of nozzles µf avtr, injection advance angle inj) with a combination of quality parameters of the combustion process (exhaust gas smoke K, CH, NOx, CO2, CO), measured (controlled) by gas analyzers. The diagnostic method can be implemented according to a program by the on-board processor of a fire truck of 4–5 technological generations or using pre-prepared nomograms.

Information is provided on the development and production of high-altitude rescue vehicles at the present stage, as well as on the transition of domestic standards to the international standardization system within the framework of the states belonging to the Commonwealth of Independent States. The differences between the requirements of modern standards for fire ladders and car lifts, which come into force in Russia on July 1, 2024, and those in force, are considered. The analysis of modern terminology in the design and operation of fire ladders and car lifts, new approaches to some of their parameters, as well as the introduction of additional parameters is given. The requirements for the chassis that ensure the prompt departure of high-altitude rescue vehicles to the place of fire (accident), the conditions for ensuring cargo static and dynamic stability when applying fire extinguishing agents, the need for equipment with control devices and pointers in connection with the use of computer technologies in their control systems have been formed. The technical solutions for providing modern fire trucks with automatic boom stage alignment systems are analyzed, promising approaches to creating boom stage alignment systems are substantiated. The conclusion is made about the compliance of modern high-altitude rescue vehicles with the requirements of Interstate standards.
COMPOSITE MATERIALS BASED ON POLYMER/GRAPHENE IN ROBOTIC FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEMS

It is shown that numerous devices contain their own electrical power sources that use a significant number of bipolar transistors and thyristors of medium and high power, which require additional cooling in the form of external radiators to remove excess heat. For their manufacture, in addition to traditional alloys based on aluminum, materials such as polymers with fillers of high thermal conductivity are promising. A composite surface saturation technology is proposed that uses boron nitride nanocrystals to reduce thermal resistance at the interface. It has been established that the heat-conducting properties both along and across the polymer fibers, as the content of the nanocrystalline form of boron nitride increases to 25 %, they increase and reach a value of 21,3 W/(m K). This value is more than twice the possible maximum thermal conductivity coefficient in the absence of a graphene layer: 9,8 W/(m K) with a boron nitride mass content of up to 50 %. Due to its characteristics, polymer/graphene composite material has promise as a material for cooling devices with high energy density.

Atualmente, pode-se evidenciar a ausência de pessoas adultas portadoras do transtorno do espectro autista (TEA) inseridas no mercado de trabalho. Nesse contexto, questiona-se: como desmistificar o preconceito do TEA diante a vida profissional? Para isso, o presente estudo tem como objetivo evidenciar a falta de inclusão no mercado de trabalho de adultos portadores deste transtorno e apresentar possibilidades para modificar esse cenário. A metodologia utilizada foi a teórica bibliográfica narrativa, composta por estudos de autores que discutem a temática. Para efeito de conclusão, pode-se destacar que mesmo com suas peculiaridades o indivíduo com o grau leve de Autismo pode ser produtivo e contribuir com o desenvolvimento em diversas áreas do mercado profissional, desde que as organizações superem o estigma social e façam a adaptação para a inclusão desses sujeitos.
