Published: July 2024

Currently in Indonesia there are millions of school-age children. Some of them still have difficulty in accessing education, including children with special needs. Children with special needs are part of a society that is classified as vulnerable. Some institutions state that they are 10 times more likely to be out of school. Even when they go to school, the learning they receive tends to be not optimal, especially for autistic children. Autism is a disorder of overall human development that results in barriers to socialization, communication, and behavior. With the various obstacles they have, the learning process they receive tends to be less than optimal if it is not balanced with adequate facilities and infrastructure. Therefore, in this study, researchers want to design a digital learning application for autistic users based on a website, where the User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) of the learning application are tailored to the user's needs. By using the Human-Centered Design (HCD) method that focuses on humans in its manufacture. With these grounds and reasons, it is hoped that this research can produce a UI UX with a good level of usability, effectiveness, and user satisfaction.

Frente a ello, el artículo se centra en comprender la experiencia de militancia sindical de las mujeres en el sector agrario de Uruguay, a partir de un trabajo cualitativo focalizado en las principales dificultades para la participación sindical, las formas de participación y los logros y desafíos en la incorporación de la agenda de género en la negociación colectiva.
La crítica feminista como fundamento de la coeducación. La urgente necesidad del estudio del pensamiento feminista
Authors: Madruga Bajo Marta
Published: July 2024

El conocimiento del pensamiento filosófico feminista es el fundamento de la educación para la igualdad sin el cual no es posible desarrollar ni implantar una práctica docente realmente coeducativa. La crítica feminista desvela el carácter androcéntrico y patriarcal de nuestra tradición de pensamiento y también genera un proyecto ético y político de emancipación y de transformación social. Al mismo tiempo, el análisis crítico feminista del momento actual permite poner en cuestión nuevas categorías, prácticas y propuestas que despolitizan el feminismo y que, por tanto, no pueden desmontar la desigualdad estructural entre los sexos. Considerando que la educación es un auténtico instrumento de transformación social, la formación del profesorado en teoría y crítica feministas es irrenunciable.

De las aulas a las hormonas. El secuestro de la coeducación por el patriarcado neoliberal
Authors: Carrasco Pons Silvia , Hidalgo Urtiaga Ana
Published: July 2024

Desde la aprobación de la Ley Orgánica 3/2007, de 22 de marzo, de Igualdad entre Mujeres y Hombres, las leyes educativas deben incluir explícitamente la Coeducación o educación para la igualdad en todas las etapas del sistema educativo y en la formación del profesorado como herramienta para lograrla. Sin embargo, no solo no se ha consolidado, sino que en 2014 empezó a ser suplantada por nociones basadas en la teoría queer ajenas y contrarias a sus objetivos. El artículo expone este proceso y su impacto en la salud de la población menor, con una incidencia desproporcionada entre las adolescentes, ante la inacción política y el silencio informativo, a pesar de la preocupante evidencia disponible en España y a nivel internacional.

Published: July 2024

Clinicians, staff, patients, and visitors use the healthcare environment, and a deeper understanding of spatial elements that promote their well-being is necessary. However, clinical and academic nursing does not naturally fit within the field of architectural design and planning. A design charrette, an interactive and innovative approach for faculty, staff, and clinicians, offers participants a chance to be creative in merging evidence-based practice with evidence-based design principles to aid in well-being. This educational brief outlines the process and outcomes of spaces that promote well-being and restoration. The design example presented is a restorative space in a clinical unit. We describe the methods of this teaching experience and highlight the application of a design charrette for a clinical unit.

Cadaveric organ donation: Indian perspective
Authors: Sarma Bedanta , Dash Shreemanta Kumar , Ghormade Pankaj Suresh , Kumar Dheeraj Abhaykumar Vinod
Published: July 2024

Cadaveric organ donation in India, although started long back; its present status is not favourable. The percentage gain is very slow in comparison to most of the country even after having proper legislation. There are many reasons for this, lack of awareness being the most common. Most of the people does not know the concept of brain death. Although government and many NGOs are attached with it and are trying their level best to communicate with people for this noble cause, they have not yet reached the expected goal.

To boost up the process of cadaveric organ donation, the hospitals and their staff including doctors must play a vital role. Hence, knowledge and orientation of such potential group is important for further processing because in most of the hospitals even doctors are not well-informed about the legal and ethical aspects of organ donation. If all the weak locus are addressed properly, we can definitely achieve the goals within a short span of time.

: Biochemical changes in glycemic indices have been linked to aging, and many individuals have asymptomatic hyperglycemia as they get older. This leads to metabolic dysregulation, which heightens vulnerability to a number of age-related chronic conditions, such as diabetes mellitus.

: This cross-sectional study assessed the levels of fasting plasma glucose, insulin, insulin resistance and glycated haemoglobin as markers of glycemic control in apparently healthy older adults in Nnewi. A total of 144 participants were involved in this study: 72 older persons and 72 control subjects. The older adults were aged 45 to 75; while the control group was composed of individuals aged 18 to 30.  Six milliliters (6 ml) of fasting venous blood samples were collected from each participant for the determination of insulin (INS), glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), and plasma glucose (FPG) levels. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to evaluate INS, resin ion-exchange was used to estimate HbA1c, and glucose oxidase peroxidase was used to determine FPG. The Homeostasis Model Assessment Index (HOMA-IR) was used to calculate insulin resistance.

: The mean FPG, HbA1c, INS and HOMA-IR were significantly higher in the older adults compared to control subjects respectively (p<0.05). Also, the mean FPG, HbA1c, INS and HOMA-IR were significantly higher in the older adult males and females compared to the control male and female subjects respectively (p<0.05). There was significant moderate positive correlation between the level of FBS Vs HbA1c (r=0.484, P-value = 0.000) and strong positive correlation between the level of Insulin Vs HOMA-IR (r=0.980, P-value = 0.000) in the control group. Also, strong significant positive correlations were observed between FPG and HbA1c (r=0.704, P-value = 0.000), FPG and HOMA-IR (r=0.778, P-value = 0.000), Insulin and HOMA-IR (r=0.778, P-value = 0.000) with a moderate significant positive correlation found between HbA1c Vs HOMA-IR (r=0.557, P-value = 0.000) in the older adults.

This study showed that glycemic indices tend to become altered with advancing in age.
Navigating the intersection of psychiatry and law: Insights into insanity defense and fitness to stand trial in the Indian legal system
Authors: Nemani Prachi
Published: July 2024

In the complex landscape of forensic psychiatry, the intersection of mental health and the legal system presents challenges that demand clear guidelines for effective navigation. This letter delves into the pivotal roles psychiatrists play in assessing the insanity defense and determining fitness to stand trial, crucial aspects intertwined with the principles of justice and human rights.

Moreover, we elucidate the nuanced interpretation of Section 22 of Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (previously Section 84 of the Indian Penal Code), which delineates the criteria for absolving individuals of criminal responsibility due to mental illness. Comparisons with McNaughten’s rule highlight subtle differences in legal frameworks and their implications for verdicts of "not guilty by reason of insanity."

Furthermore, our article emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between psychiatry and forensic medicine to enhance comprehension of legal complexities thereby improving the management of forensic patients. With a visual aid we will facilitate understanding of the multifaceted concepts discussed herein. By fostering dialogue and collaboration, we aim to contribute to a more informed and equitable legal approach to individuals with mental health concerns within the criminal justice system.Top of Form

This paper explores the crucial factors influencing the stability of polymer gels utilized in oil well treatments, with a focus on the effects of polymer mixing time and concentrations of polymer and crosslinker. Operating within a practical constraint of a 30-minute mixing time in surface facilities, our findings reveal that incomplete polymer dissolution leads to gel segregation and substantial water release over extended aging at 50 ºC. Notably, a reduction in the crosslinker/ polymer ratio, achieved by lowering crosslinker concentration or increasing polymer concentration, proves effective in mitigating water release to as low as 0‒1% over 90‒185 h of aging. Furthermore, gels prepared in sea and reservoir brines exhibit superior stability compared to those in distilled water, suggesting that ion presence in brines counteracts the repulsion between charged polymer chains observed in distilled water. This study provides valuable insights for optimizing polymer gel formulations under time constraints.

Intention to use fintech services: An investigation into the moderation effects of quality of internet access and digital skills
Authors: Ravi Roshan , Pandey Nirakar Nath
Published: July 2024

This paper aims to investigate the moderating influence of the quality of access to internet and digital skills on the factors that influence the intention to use fintech services among the young working population in India. We use the Theory of Planned Behavior to examine the intention to adopt financial technology in a rapidly technologically transformative Indian landscape. We conducted an empirical investigation on 324 young workers in India using the survey method. The TPB model's relevance in an Indian context is validated. Attitude, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norms together accounted for 48.7% of the variation in the intention to use fintech services. The quality of internet access significantly moderated the positive effect of young workers' attitudes on their intention to use fintech. Digital skills significantly moderated the positive effects of attitude and perceived behavioral control on intentions to use fintech services. India is considered a very fast adopter of digital technology. In India, the use of electronic channels in financial service delivery is on the rise. With the wide geographic dispersion and huge population, the quality of internet access and digital skills can influence the intention to use fintech services. There can be vast differences in the behavioral mindset of people in a developing country like India compared to that of a developed one regarding the use and adoption of digital platforms for accessing financial services. Developers and regulators must adopt approaches and policies that consider these behavioral factors. This paper examines the Theory of Planned Behaviour in the context of a rapidly transforming behavioural context in India with the adoption of technology-based financial services. The importance of quality internet access and digital skills as factors moderating the adoption of technology is examined in this paper, unlike many previous studies.

Metaphoric and Metonymic Cognitive Models in the Conceptual space of Idiostyle
Authors: Tarasova I.A. ,   Saratov State University
Published: July 2024

The suggested approach towards the idiostyle of G. Ivanov is based on the hypothesis that the poetic concept has a two-level structure. On the one hand, it reflects the author’s concepts; on the other hand, it consists of more complicated conceptual structures – cognitive models of concept interaction. The article investigates the following forms of the conceptual space of idiostyle – metaphoric and metonymic cognitive models.
Biocompatibility, Antimicrobial and Wound Healing Activities of Lavandula dentata Leaves Extract
Authors: Hussien Nahed Ahmed , Mohamed Hanan Ramadan Hamad
Published: July 2024

Background: The human skin is a natural barrier that protects against external stress, but its physiological structure can be compromised when it gets damaged. In the field of medical science, wounds are a significant issue that requires immediate attention. Lavandula species are used in the food, perfume and cosmetics industries due to their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties. Methods: The present study was done to assess the biocompatibility, antimicrobial and wound-healing potential of L. dentata leave methanolic extract (LE) that is cultivated in the Taif region of Saudi Arabia. The biocompatibility of LE was analyzed against the normal human skin fibroblast (HSF) cell line using SRB assay. A quarter of LE IC50 was used for wound healing assay. Finally, Escherichia Coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Streptococcus pyogenes were used to determine LE antibacterial potential through the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) measurement. Result: LE appears safe on HSF cell line with IC50 = 97 mg/mL. LE decreased wound width, wound area and the mean cell migratory rate of wound border cells during scratch closure, while increased the wound closure% in a time-dependent manner compared to negative control. LE shows antimicrobial potential against all four strains at MIC and MBC greater than 3.0 mg/mL, except for Streptococcus pyogenes MIC= 3.0 mg/mL. In conclusion, LE offers therapeutic benefits against wound healing with an antimicrobial effect, however, higher concentrations of LE should be used to assess its effect.

Financial products are interconnected through the balance sheet and affect the overall economic system by connectedness. Investors are interested in the connectedness of markets, so our study investigated spillover dynamics and their influence on ESG and non-ESG-oriented banks in the USA. Our dataset comprises 2319 observations from January 1, 2015, to November 22, 2023. We employed the spillover index of Diebold and Yilmaz (2012) to conduct an extensive analysis of ESG-oriented and non-ESG-oriented banks in the USA. The study uncovered significant differences in interconnectedness and spillover effects between ESG-oriented and non-ESG-oriented banks, particularly during regular periods and the COVID-19 pandemic. ESG-oriented banks, in particular, exhibit higher levels of interconnectedness, with notable spillovers among themselves, indicating a need for cross-market diversification to manage risk. In contrast, non-ESG-oriented banks demonstrate lower interconnectedness and spillover effects. The study highlights the potential benefits of portfolio diversification across ESG and non-ESG banks. The research concludes that such diversification can offer significant risk reduction benefits. Findings suggested that banks must incorporate ESG and non-ESG investments in their portfolio to mitigate overall risk. Banks’ adoption of ESG standards may lead to investing in fewer projects, leading to ESG constraints in portfolio optimization. In this way, ESG investment restricts and constrains the diversification of portfolios, which increases risk and contagion.
