Towards Web Equality: Efforts on Web Accessibility for Persons with Cognitive Disability
Authors: Hortizuela Richard D.
Published: November 2022

With the fast-paced development of digital innovations, web technologies are on the rise. With this in mind, making the web accessible for all became an interesting line of research and development. Web accessibility means that websites, tools, and technologies are designed and developed so that people with disabilities can use them with minimal to no supervision. More specifically, people can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the web. Over the past years, there have been attempts to achieve web accessibility for web users with physical, visual, and sensory disabilities. However, people with cognitive disabilities were not seen as a user group, thus, leaving them far behind the target general population for improving web accessibility. This paper presents an overview of the current state of web accessibility for people with cognitive disabilities. This paper attempts to come up with a unified definition of web accessibility and identify its components. The study identified the common reasons for the non-conformity of web accessibility. Moreover, the different cognitive disabilities and their linked issues are presented. Furthermore, this study reviews the various interventions made by governments and private organizations worldwide. The study uncovered that web accessibility for people with cognitive disabilities hadn’t been a priority for research which resulted in non-conformities with the accessibility guidelines such as poor interface design, confusing guides and instructions, robustness, and lack of features to cater to the needs of people with cognitive disabilities. Results show that in each kind of cognitive disability, namely Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Intellectual Disability, Memory Impairments, Perceptual Disability, and Seizure Disorder, people experience various difficulties in accessing the web, specifically on processing too much content or information, confusing instructions, typographies, and grammar. Laws have been imposed on different Asian and Western countries to address these difficulties. In contrast, other countries and organizations have adopted the Web Accessibility Guidelines of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). In conclusion, as organizations gear toward web equality, governments have the initiative to move towards the goal by implementing different laws and policies driving the WCAG 2.0 as a basis of these to orchestrate the design of websites effectively. Furthermore, this study calls for action for extensive research on web accessibility for cognitive disabilities as it is not only valuable to the vulnerable sector of society but also for the rest of the population.

Authors: Abdufattokhov Shokhjakhon , Normatova Nodira , Shermatova Makhbuba
Published: November 2022

High blood glucose levels cause diabetes, and it is characterized as a chronic disease that will disrupt fat and protein metabolism. The blood glucose levels rise because it cannot be burned in the cells due to a shortage of insulin secretion by the pancreas, or the insulin produced by the cell is insufficient. If exact early detection is possible, the hazard and prevalence of diabetes can be decreased considerably. With this, the application of technology has been an essential part of providing accurate and acceptable results in the prevention and early detection of the illness. This research implements artificial neural networks to predict the early stage of diabetes by incorporating methods involving feature selection or dimension reduction using a Relief-Based Filter for testing and training data. The results show 99.3% prediction accuracy and can be essential in contributing to a new way that is highly accurate in determining diabetes among patients.

However, a growing cybercrime threat has been a significant issue for most countries even though information technology plays a vital role in economic and social growth Indian cybercrime has followed a pattern that is similar to the rest of the world in many ways. Regardless of whether the risks originate from inside or outside a company, cyber security measures are designed to protect networked systems and applications. A computer network, hardware, and software are all necessary components of information technology (IT). More specifically, cyber security focuses on securing computers, digital devices, and personal information from illegal access. A company that provides a variety of services linked to the protection of an organization's IT computer systems. To secure your company's sensitive data from illegal electronic access, you need information security, and to protect your company's sensitive data from unauthorised electronic access, you need cyber security. The subject of whether or not cyber security is more than just a matter of information technology is being asked all across the world. Thus, the study's goal is to examine the idea that cyber security is more than just a matter of information technology.
Philosophical Study of Third War between Afghan and British
Authors: Samimi Shirali , Hekmat Abdul Samad
Published: November 2022

The Third war between Anglo-Afghan started on 6th May 1919 and finally ended with an armistice on 8 August 1919. While it was essentially the minority of tactical victory for the British in so much as they were able to repel the regular Afghan forces, but in many ways, it was a strategic victory for the Afghanistan and Shah Amanullah khan. In fact, the beginning of the 20th century is the beginning of the strengthening of the reformist spirit of the governments. Influenced by the libertarian revolutions of the countries of the region, the intellectuals formed rescue groups against the intervention and colonial aggressions and tried to collect the secrets of the rulers in the affairs of the country. The first and second constitutionalists and the zealous youth of Afghanistan rose for the welfare of all from social justice to the formation of a non-authoritarian government. Even they sacrificed their lives for the purpose of realizing all this and were torn apart by the oppressors. They shed blood, sacrificed and left, but the history of the country never forgot them.
MIGRATION AND DISPLACEMENT AS EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO CULTURE CONTACT AND CULTURE SHOCK: THE NEXUS FOR THEATRE
Authors: Obasi Nelson Torti
Published: November 2022

More than ever before, there have been records of migration and displacements in many parts of the world both in developed and developing nations, leading to economic, social, religious and even political problems. These situations have been exacerbated by the increasing waves of conflicts and terrorisms at some major flash points of the world like Syria, Ukraine, Tawain, Russia, Sudan, Somalia, Cameroon, DR Congo, Nigeria, Egypt, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkey, Iran, among other nations leading to mass exodus of migrants/refugees to other parts of the world, especially the European countries. The effects of this massive exodus of migrants, no doubt, metamorphosized into culture contact and culture shock.  Human beings strive to understand their environment through culture which is dynamic and, in the process, changes their mode of life and the way they reason. The present ways of reasoning ultimately alter the physical and thought processes in many ways. These existential threats emanating from migration and displacement and its nexus to theatre, therefore, are what this study seeks to interrogate.

This study aims to examine the impact of jurisdictional conflict between the Indonesian District Court and Administrative Court after PERMA Number 2 of 2019’ enachment on justice seekers, and examine the possibility of applying ‘joint-proceeding’ concept as a solution. The research uses normative legal research by examining data in the form of primary legal materials of two judges’ decisions relating with conflict of court jurisdiction, as well as secondary legal materials namely ‘joint-proceeding’. The research analyses qualitatively the data to assess the impact of the jurisdiction conflict and to analyze the possibility of using ‘joint-proceeding concept. It shows that conflicts of court jurisdiction between district court and state administrative court has an impact on injustice and legal uncertainty for justice seekers since furthermore the pleading is not accepted then. The concept of ‘joint-proceeding’ which has been recognized in the Indonesian judicial system may be applied as the way to overcome the conflict, especially in case there are two legal aspect engaged in a state administrator’s legal conduct, namely both private and administrative legal aspect. ‘Joint-proceeding’ concept will create an efficient legal process and legal certainty. However, a discussion still has to be made on how to hear the case with two different procedures: the civil procedure and the administrative procedure.

Cervical cancer is an important healthcare problem in sub-Saharan Africa and emphasis should be placed on implementing and strengthening capacities for screening and treating precancerous lesions. The World Health Organization’s recommendation for low- and medium-income countries to accelerate cervical cancer elimination is human papillomavirus-based primary screening followed directly by treatment or by triage with visual inspection with acetic acid then followed by treatment. To promote these approaches in a community health-care facility, a structurally and functionally dedicated cervical cancer screening and treatment clinic is required. Publications with practical details are rare in literature, imposing a challenge in such planning. In order to provide a toolkit and guidance for health professionals who plan to set up such a clinic, we herein report our experiences in the implementation and running of a cervical cancer screening and treatment clinic adapted to a district level.

Risk Factors, Diagnosis, Pathophysiology and Management of Deep Vein Thrombosis
Authors:   *Department of Pharmacy, Negelle Health Science College, Guji, Ethiopia., Bereda Gudisa
Published: November 2022

Deep vein thrombosis occurs most often in the legs, but can form in the veins of the arms, and in the mesenteric and cerebral veins. Common risk factors of deep vein thrombosis includes age 40 years or older, being overweight, a personal or family history of blood clots, birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy, cancer, certain heart cases, stroke, respiratory failure, varicose veins, pregnancy, surgery including hip, knee, or stomach surgery, restricted mobility due to a long illness, injury, or surgery. Vascular injury that may result from major orthopedic surgery (e.g., knee and hip replacement), trauma (especially fractures of the pelvis, hip, or leg), or indwelling venous catheters. The D-dimer blood test measures degraded fibrinogen, which is raised in patients with a clot. The reference range varies and is set by the laboratory. This test is recommended in patients with a low or moderate clinical probability of deep vein thrombosis, as calculated by the Wells score. The two main types of anticoagulants are heparin and warfarin (coumadin) to keep a clot from growing or prevent new clots from forming. Warfarin interfere with hepatic synthesis of the vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors II, VII, IX and X. Warfarin, a vitamin K antagonist, is an effective and cheap oral anticoagulant.

Authors:   Center for Oncology, Hematology and Palliative Care, Clinic Ottakring, Vienna, Austria., Mayrhofer Karl
Published: November 2022

Treating elderly and frail patients with DLBCL is a unique therapeutic challenge since standard chemotherapy is not applicable. We report the outcome of nine patients deemed unable to tolerate chemotherapy who were treated with rituximab plus prednisone with or without radiotherapy at our institute between 2012 and 2021. Median age was 82 years (range 75 - 93). While four of our patients had no clinical benefit, three patients profited notably from therapy and another two achieved a mixed response. Median OS was 7.0 months and median PFS was 3.2 months. Median PFS in responders and non-responders was 25.1 months and 2 days, respectively. Positive outcomes were associated with ECOG performance status < 4, non-severe comorbidities, mainly localized disease, IPI non high risk and those who received radiation to the main tumor mass. Our data suggests that selected frail patients may benefit from therapy with rituximab plus prednisone.

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is an aggressive primary pediatric brain tumor. Typical DIPG was defined radiographically as a poorly defined tumor with mass effect occupying ≥75% of the pontine axial diameter that was hypointense on T1-weighted MR images and hyperintense on T2-weighted images. We present three children with DIPG after radiotherapy (RT) in order to expand the knowledge of this aggressive brain tumor and to emphasize the main role of the radiation method in its treatment. Our observations from the realized RT are that despite highly risky tumor localization, conventional and hypophractionated RT are well tolerated, without acute neurological toxicity and allow second irradiation /re-irradiation, due to local tumor progression. The atypical MRI image of the pontine tumors requires a stereotaxic biopsy or spectroscopic MRI. With a biopsy or MRI data on undifferential malignant tumor such as glioblastoma and meduloblastoma, radiation strategy is much more accurately assessed, as well as the need for craniospinal RT.

Traumatic small bowel and mesenteric injuries (SBMI) are uncommon sequelae of blunt trauma. Imaging findings in SBMI can be subtle with varying degrees of sensitivity and specificity, requiring a high level of suspicion given the high associated morbidity and mortality. Imaging findings include seat-belt distribution subcutaneous edema, flexion-distraction fractures, free fluid without a source, asymmetric bowel wall thickening, interloop edema, bowel ischemia, pneumoperitoneum, and even delayed bowel obstruction. A specific subtype of SBMI is an avulsion injury of the small bowel mesentery, which is described as a “bucket handle” defect within surgical literature. This case report highlights the temporal evolution of imaging findings present in cases of traumatic SBMI and is illustrative of how those clinical and imaging findings can inform management decisions.
Sex-related differences in perceptual indices, serum cortisol and blood lactate responses to endurance exertion in competitive male and female athletes in a field setting
Authors: Sochacka Katarzyna , Janusz Małgorzata , Obmiński Zbigniew
Published: November 2022

Background: Boxing requires very high aerobic fitness from male and female practitioners, therefore, endurance exercises play an important role in the preparation to competition. One of the way for rating of the state of demanded physical adaptation is monitoring of biological responses to endurance training units. The aim of the study was to examine psycho-hormonal responses to a 10km cross-country run in male and female boxers. Material and methods: Twenty-four amateur adult boxers, 12 women and 12 men, of various weight categories, excluding heavyweight athletes, performed field a 10km run. Capillary blood was sampled in the morning at 8:00, 5 minutes prior to the run (11:00 am), and within 5 minutes after exercise. Plasma cortisol concentration (C) was determined using a commercial ELISA kit (IBL, GERMANY). Post-exercise blood lactate was determined with a Lactate Scout analyzer. Pre-run anticipatory stress (AS) was estimated on a numerical scale of 1 to 10 points, with the same tool used to measure the rating of perceived exertion (RPE). Results: Morning plasma cortisol levels in females (54082 nM) and males (52073 nM) did not differ significantly but the pre-and post-run levels were higher in females. Furthermore, males rather than females showed lower pre-exercise compared to post-exercise C levels, meaning that blood lactate level was significantly higher in males (6.31.1 mM) compared to that in females (5.40.7 mM). There were no significant differences between the sexes for AS and RPE. However, both perceptual parameters were slightly higher in females. Conclusion: Based on blood cortisol measurements and perceptual parameters it can be concluded that the psychophysiological cost of exercise is higher in female athletes, even in the case of non-competitive exercise.
The paradigm as a tool for critical analysis
Authors: Krause Amadeusz
Published: November 2022

The article deals with the use of paradigm categories for substantive and methodological analysis of scientific texts. The author points out that scientific texts from several decades are used in pedagogy. To use them correctly, ones should have knowledge and awareness of the paradigm in which they arose. Using texts for theoretical analysis without paradigmatic awareness can lead to overinterpretation and unauthorized conclusions. The article also draws attention to the existence of publications in which their authors do not specify the paradigm in which they create their research or do it incorrectly. The ability to assess such a situation is crucial for the correct use of these studies as source materials.

Future Directions for Digital Literacy Fluency using Cognitive Flexibility Research: A Review of Selected Digital Literacy Paradigms and Theoretical Frameworks
Authors: Caton Amy , Bradshaw-Wardis Danita , Kinshuk Kinshuk , Savenye Wilhelmina
Published: November 2022

As learners engage, test, and apply new subject knowledge, they often expend their cognitive capacity on the technological tools designed to capture their learning progress and outcomes. The energy and attention spent on these tools reduces their capacity to engage deeply with new learning concepts. Digital literacy skills require both cognitive and technical skills to develop a learner’s ability to locate, use, and communicate information. Increasingly complex information environments create various barriers for student learning, and as our learning and working industries continue to evolve and integrate technologies, students must overcome these barriers by bridging learning needs and technology expectations. This research explores the value of developing digital literacy to improve learners’ cognitive flexibility by decreasing technological cognitive load and increasing learning fluency. The findings highlight the need for establishing scaffolded digital literacy skills and digital tool selection, and expand college readiness requirements to include digital literacy as a prerequisite skill for learners.

Published: November 2022

The processionary moth, Thaumetopoea cheela (Moore) was found as a serious defoliator of Pistachio nut (Pistacia vera L.), which is a new record. The development of egg, larva and pupa was completed in 196.5Â±0.40, 68.1Â±1.97 and 86.9Â±0.62 days, respectively. The adult longevity was 2â€“3 days and each female laid an average of 179 eggs in a cluster. The insect overwintered in egg stage. The moth followed Dyarâ€™s law and the Dyarâ€™s ratio varied from 1.67â€“1.73. The occurrence and severity of this pest on the sparse host plantation warrants its regular monitoring on other possible alternate hosts and development of IPM strategy.The magnitude of the damage depends on the extent of defoliation, time of incidence and the vigour of the affected tree. Leaf defoliation prior to development of flower buds reduced the number of reproductive stalks, flower buds, flowers and the nut yield of pistachio plantation.

Published: November 2022

This study is focused on the agrarian change and well-being status among Mara hill tribe practicing Shifting Cultivation (SC) in Saiha, a remote Hill district in North Eastern Region of India. Using a mixed methods research design, 50 tribal households were interviewed with the help of structured interview schedule. The findings reveal transition in terms of aversion of the tribal youths from SC, declining dependency of the community on SC and fare share (37.16%) of total expenditure on childrenâ€™s education. Further, increased access to information gadgets like mobile phone, TV and radio are triggering material aspirations among the tribal community. The average monthly income of respondent households was about ` 10766 and 77.56% of the total income is contributed by agriculture and allied activities. Higher inclination was observed towards settled cultivation with high value horticultural crops, however, community ownership of land, lack of market access and higher technological gap in agriculture were impeding entrepreneurship. The study reveals that well-being of 93% tribal households were moderate or inconsistent. They are experiencing difficulties as on date and are also expected to continue with it in the near future. Hence, planning and implementation of development schemes focused on welfare and livelihood diversification need to be revisited to enhance overall well-being of the hill tribe who rely on SC for their livelihood.

Pergeseran Paradigma dari Orientalisme Menuju Islamic Studies
Authors: Bahrudin Ahmad , Ghufron Achmad
Published: November 2022

Perkembangan zaman yang tidak bisa dibendung dan merupakan keniscayaan, mengakibatkan semua yang menyertainya juga turut berubah. Perubahan dan pergeseran tersebut meliputi, ide, paradigma, sistem pemerintahan, fasilitas hidup dan lain sebagainya. Penalitian ini bertujuan memotret pergeseran suatu paradigma untuk pengkaji ilmu keislaman yang berasal dari barat yang sebelumnya dikenal dengan sebutan orientalisme, sekarang dikenal dengan sebutan islamic studies. Melalui motodelogi kualitatif berjenis kepustakaan, disertai dengan pendekatan narative analisis, penulis menemukan. Bahwa, menemukan bahwa orientalis bertujuan untuk menyebarkan propaganda tentang Dunia Timur, khususnya mengenai Islam kepada dunia, hal ini dipengaruhi oleh kolonialisasi Barat terhadap Timur, sehingga Barat tidak hanya ingin menguasai Timur dari segi politik dan ekonomi saja, namun juga ingin menghegomoni Timur dari segi budaya. Namun demikian, sentimen negatif yang dibangun oleh orientalis terhadap dunia timur berubah menjadi lebih adil dan objektif lantaran dua hal, pertama hilangnya bentuk kolonialisasii di Dunia Timur sehingga tidak ada kepentingan dalam kajian ketimuran. Kedua, karena adanya seruan oksidentalisme yang digagas oleh Hassan Hanafi, sehingga dapat mengimbangi hegemoni Barat terhadap Timur. Oleh karena dua hal tersebut, maka studi terhadap Islam tidak relevan lagi disebut sebagai orientalisme, tapi sekarang berubah menjadi Islamic Studies.

Authors: Isakova A.S. , Kolodko D.V. , Kaziev A.V. , Rykunov G.I. , Tumarkin A.V.
Published: November 2022

In this work, we study the effects introduced by adding reactive gas (nitrogen) to a magnetron discharge with a thermally insulated chromium target from the point of view of its electrical parameters. The dependences of the current-voltage characteristics and the shapes of the current and voltage pulses of a high-current pulsed magnetron discharge on the reaction gas flow are studied. The voltage and current waveforms exhibit a transition into unstable mode with increasing the reactive gas flow and pulse duration. In this mode, in power-regulation regime of the power supply, the pulses follow certain recurring patterns characterized by the current oscillations in a wide range from several to tens of amps

В работе представлены результаты измерения порогового тока вакуумной дуги для наноструктурированного вольфрама (вольфрамовый пух, fuzz). Для измерений использовалась слаботочная вакуумная дуга (максимальная амплитуда 4.5 А, длительность до 10 мкс). В качестве порогового тока принималось значение тока горения дуги перед резким самопроизвольным погасанием. Полученные значения для вольфрамового пуха значительно меньше, чем для чистого вольфрама.

Published: November 2022

In this work, multilayer ceramic-metal coatings (Metal/nitride ceramics/ Metal/oxide ceramics) with increased corrosion resistance were obtained. The structure of each layer of the obtained coatings was researched using the transmission electron microscope JEOL JEM-2100. The metal layers had a columnar crystal structure, the layers of nitride ceramics predominantly had a nanocrystalline structure (grain size was about 15 nm), the layers of oxide ceramics were amorphous. Corrosion resistance was evaluated on a potentiostat P-45X in a 0.5 M NaCl solution using a three-electrode cell. The created coating reduced the corrosion rate of the stainless steel substrate by an order of magnitude.
