Teachers’ Attitudes Towards Inclusive Education in a Cultural Context
Authors: Kossewska Joanna , Khofidotur Rofiah , Sheehy Kieron , Machał Katarzyna , Sajdak Katarzyna
Published: December 2024

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to capture cross-cultural differences in teachers’ attitudes toward educational inclusion across Indonesia, Poland, the Republic of Germany, and the Slovak Republic, and to identify the most significant predictors shaping these attitudes.
THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The main research question focused on differences in three aspects of pro-inclusion attitudes among teachers (N = 666) from four countries, as well as the correlates and predictors of these attitudes. The research employed a quantitative paradigm using standardized measurement tools: MATIES by Mahat, SES by Rosenberg, EQ by Greenberg and colleagues, and the Fun for Teaching Learning Scale by Okada.
THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: Teachers’ attitudes towards educational inclusion are important factors in determining the success of inclusive education for students with disabilities. Understanding the factors that shape these attitudes is essential from both theoretical and practical perspectives.
RESEARCH RESULTS: The analysis revealed that teachers’ attitudes towards educational inclusion vary across cultures. German teachers exhibited the least favorable attitudes toward inclusion. Teachers in general education schools demonstrated more pro-inclusion attitudes compared to those in special education settings. Gender was not found to be a differentiating factor in attitudes toward inclusion.
CONCLUSIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND APPLICABLE VALUE OF RESEARCH: Including students with disabilities is a very difficult and demanding task in modern schools. Successful implementation requires professional preparation and proper organization of space and time, and a strong commitment to individualizing each student’s education. As positive teacher attitudes can enhance the effectiveness of inclusive education, developing such attitudes is vital. Practical interventions should be based on analyzing and strengthening predictors of proinclusion attitudes to develop the necessary personal resources.
A COMPUTATIONAL SYSTEM FOR EVALUATING HUMAN PERCEPTION IN VIDEO STEGANOGRAPHY
Authors: PERY Marcin , WASZKOWSKI Robert
Published: December 2024

This paper presents a comprehensive computational system designed to evaluate the undetectability of video steganography from human perspective. The system assesses the perceptibility of steganographic modifications to the human eye while simultaneously determining the minimum encoding level required for successful automated decoding of hidden messages. The proposed architecture comprises four subsystems: steganogram database preparation, human evaluation, automated decoding, and comparative analysis. The system was tested using example steganographic techniques applied to a dataset of video files. Experimental results revealed the thresholds of human-level undetectability and automated decoding for each technique, enabling the identification of critical differences between human and algorithmic detection capabilities. This research contributes to the field of steganography by offering a novel framework for evaluating the trade-offs between human perception and automated decoding in video-based information hiding. The system serves as a tool for advancing the development of more secure and reliable video steganographic techniques.
EXPLORING THE EXPEDIENCY OF BLOCKCHAIN-BASED SOLUTIONS: REVIEW AND CHALLENGES
Authors: MORENO ARBOLEDA Francisco Javier , GARANI Georgia , ARBOLEDA ZULUAGA Sergio Andrés
Published: December 2024

A distributed type of database where digital data is stored as blocks chained together is called a Blockchain. Each block consists of several transactions, authenticated using cryptographic keys, and approved by a group of validators. Hundreds of different Blockchain solutions have been proposed over the years, proving that they attract research and business interest. In this article, the authors present a generic vocabulary for unifying different terminologies used by various researchers in the field, followed by a review and evaluation of several research works presenting Blockchain-based solutions. A set of criteria regarding usefulness and suitability of adopting a Blockchain application are distinguished in these works. A method to examine their applicability is also discussed. Cryptocurrencies and supply chains, the two most well-known Blockchain uses, are considered and examined to assess how important these criteria are in these two use cases.
Feminismo en la era digital: Movilización, resistencias y la contrarreacción antifeminista en redes sociales. Una aproximación a la cuarta ola.
Authors: Asensi-Rodríguez Cristina , Martínez-Rolán Xabier
Published: December 2024

El artículo examina la comunicación feminista en redes sociales y la respuesta antifeminista en estos espacios digitales. A través de un análisis cualitativo de cuatro casos clave —#MeToo, el 8M en España, la Ley Orgánica de Garantía Integral de la Libertad Sexual (“Ley del Solo Sí es Sí”), y el movimiento #SeAcabó en el contexto español— se exploran las dinámicas de movilización feminista y la reacción conservadora. La metodología incluye un análisis de contenido centrado en hashtags y patrones discursivos en Twitter e Instagram, estudiando cómo las redes actúan tanto como vehículo de visibilidad para el feminismo como de amplificación para el discurso antifeminista. Los resultados demuestran que, aunque las redes sociales han sido fundamentales para la visibilización y expansión de movimientos feministas, estas mismas plataformas también facilitan la difusión de mensajes misóginos y la organización de la llamada machosfera. Las conclusiones reflejan cómo el activismo feminista online desafía estructuras patriarcales tradicionales, pero también se enfrenta a una creciente polarización y a una violencia digital que limitan la participación femenina en estos espacios. Esta coexistencia entre movilización y contrarreacción revela las redes sociales como un “arma de doble filo,” subrayando la importancia de diseñar políticas digitales inclusivas para contrarrestar la opresión algorítmica y la violencia de género en línea.

Authors: Quian Alberto
Published: December 2024

Marta G. Franco examina cómo las grandes corporaciones tecnológicas han usurpado los espacios digitales, transformando internet y las redes sociales en herramientas de control, explotación y vigilancia. La autora denuncia la apropiación capitalista y patriarcal de estos entornos, dominados por una élite masculina y occidental que perpetúa la exclusión y las desigualdades. A través de una perspectiva feminista, hacktivista y decolonial, destaca la importancia de crear espacios digitales autogestionados, inclusivos y colaborativos, inspirados en iniciativas como hacklabs y hackmeetings. El libro propone una internet más ética y diversa, donde los movimientos sociales y las comunidades marginadas recuperen el control.

The Digital Era of Hadith: Challenges of Authenticity and Opportunities for Innovation
Authors: Raidatul Umanah
Published: December 2024

The digital era has revolutionized how Muslims access hadiths, with applications and online platforms providing convenient access to vast collections. However, alongside these advancements, significant concerns have arisen regarding the validity of the content. Many platforms lack proper verification mechanisms, leading to the widespread dissemination of dhaif (weak) or maudhu' (fabricated) hadiths. This issue is exacerbated by low levels of hadith literacy among users, who often rely solely on search features without understanding the sanad (chain of narration) or matan (content), potentially distorting religious understanding and practices. This study explores the challenges and opportunities of digital hadith applications, focusing on content validity and the role of technology in hadith studies. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, data were gathered through library research, analyzing classical hadith collections, academic journals, and digital platforms. Case documentation was also utilized to identify examples of misinformation and evaluate digital platforms’ mechanisms for ensuring authenticity. The findings reveal that many digital applications fail to provide comprehensive sanad and matan verification, amplifying the risks of misinformation. However, technology offers substantial opportunities, including efficient access to primary sources, multilingual translations, and tools for interactive learning. These advancements highlight the potential for digital platforms to enhance hadith studies if developed responsibly. This study recommends collaborative efforts between scholars, developers, and educators to create reliable and authentic digital hadith platforms. Public education on the principles of hadith studies and responsible use of technology is crucial for preserving the integrity of Islamic teachings and ensuring their relevance in the digital age.

Authors: Khandelwal Apoorv , Joshi Nalini , Joshi Rupam
Published: December 2024

Background: Acute pancreatitis is a prevalent inflammatory condition of the pancreas with a diverse etiology and a mortality rate ranging from 5%
to 40% depending on severity. Effective early diagnosis and accurate assessment of disease severity are crucial for optimizing patient management.
Objective: This study aims to compare the efficacy of the Bedside Index for Severity in Acute Pancreatitis (BISAP) with the Ranson and APACHE
II scoring systems in predicting outcomes such as severity, organ failure, and mortality in patients with acute pancreatitis. A cohort of 50 Methods:
patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis was retrospectively and prospectively evaluated at Mahatma Gandhi Medical College & Hospital,
Jaipur, from December 2020 to December 2024. Data including demographic, clinical, and laboratory parameters were collected within 48 hours
of admission. BISAP, Ranson, and APACHE II scores were calculated, and their predictive accuracy for severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), mortality,
and ICU admission was analyzed using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves. The majority of Results: patients were male (86%) and
presented predominantly with alcoholic pancreatitis (62%). The BISAP score demonstrated high specificity (100%) for predicting mortality but
lower sensitivity (54.2%). The Ranson score showed better sensitivity (72.9%) and specificity (50%) compared to APACHE II, which had the
lowest predictive accuracy across all measures. BISAP and Ranson scores were similarly effective in predicting renal failure and respiratory
complications. The BISAP scoring system is a more effective tool for early prediction of mortality an Conclusion: d complications in acute
pancreatitis compared to APACHE II, while Ranson's score provides superior sensitivity for respiratory failure. Overall, BISAP is recommended
for initial assessment in acute pancreatitis, while Ranson may serve as a complementary tool for specific complications.

on training to prevent such infections by using personal protective devices and knowledge to safeguard from these injuries. The study concluded
that periodic training and supervision is necessary for better healthcare waste management and implementation of guidelines for proper disposal of
healthcare waste.

Introduction: Infertility is defined as failure of a couple to conceive after one year of regular sexual intercourse. It remains both prevalent and
problematic among couples worldwide. The analysis of semen remains the preliminary investigation for males in the workup of infertility in
couples. It is a key element in the fertility evaluation of men and permits male reproductive potential to be evaluated in association with possible
risk factors. Aim: To assess and analyse the semen characteristics of all the males who presented to our hospital, irrespective of primary or
secondary infertility. Material and Methods: This is an observational study conducted in the Department of Pathology, B.J. medical college
Ahmedabad. Semen of 118 subjects were evaluated and results analyzed. Results: The present study included 118 subjects whose age ranged from
20 years to 45 years with a mean age of 21.60 years. Patients were divided into oligospermia (47.45%), normospermia (41.52%) and azoospermia
(8.47%). 15.25% of the cases had sperm counts in the range of 51-80million/ml. Asthenospermia was seen in 14.5% of the cases. Conclusion: In
present study, mainly oligospermia was significantly contribute to the overall infertility. Routine semen analysis remains the backbone of the
evaluation of the male factor infertility, but it is important to acknowledge the limitation of semen analysis with respect to collection, processing,
evaluation, biological variation of the parameters. Due to this limitations, a normal semen analysis does not guarantee the fertilization potential.

EXPLORING THE INFLUENCE OF CONSTRUCTIVIST PRACTICES ON CHEMISTRY ACHIEVEMENT AT SECONDARY LEVEL
Authors: Das Pratima , Das Alaka
Published: December 2024

This study looked at how the constructivist learning approach affects Chemistry achievement among Class IX students at Vivekananda Kendra
Vidyalayas in Nalbari. The research used a pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design with 120 students, where the experimental group was
taught using the constructivist 5E Model, and the control group received traditional teaching. Two tools were utilized for data collection in this
study, Chemistry lesson plans focused on atoms and molecule as instructional tool, and a Chemistry achievement test both prepared and developed
by the investigator. The t-tests showed that both groups were similar before the intervention. After the intervention, the experimental group showed
a significant improvement in Chemistry achievement, proving that the constructivist approach was more effective than traditional methods. Thus, it
is recommended to use the 5E-model strategy in teaching to enhance students' Chemistry achievement at the secondary level.
Analyze the impact of Working Capital Management and Net Profit Margin on Accounting Profitability assessment (a study of manufacturing companies listed on the Iraqi Stock Exchange for 2016–2022).

The problem of the study is the existence of an unclear relationship between working capital management and net profit to accounting profit in manufacturing companies in Iraq. Investors often rely solely on a company’s profitability as a measure of its financial strength without considering its working capital management.
The study aims to determine the impact of working capital management and net profit margin on accounting profitability in manufacturing companies listed on the Iraqi Stock Exchange for the years 2016-2022. Only 10 companies met the total study criteria. Panel data regression and statistical methods were used to evaluate and test the quantitative method research hypothesis with the help of EViews software. The findings indicate that net profit margin (NPM) has a significant positive effect on return on assets (ROA), a measure of accounting profitability. Working capital management is measured by liquidity (LIQ), leverage (LEV), and cash flow (CF). Liquidity (LIQ) and leverage (LEV) have a significant negative effect on return on assets (ROA). However, cash flow (CF) has a positive yet non-significant impact on return on assets (ROA). The result of the R-squared value of 23% confirms that the regression model used in the study achieved the objective to some extent.
This paper not only contributes to the literature review, by providing a new idea of the relationship between working capital management and net profit margin and accounting profit, but at the same time, it suggests that management policy should consider working capital in companies as an important aspect.

جودة المؤسسات التعليمية في تحقيق أهداف التنمية المستدامة: التحديات والفرص والمستقبل من منظور اسلامي
Authors: راضي د صفاء فليح حسن
Published: December 2024

عالج البحث دور جودة المؤسسات التعليمية في تحقيق التنمية المستدامة من جانب العنصر البشري الذي يعتبر جوهر متطلبات تحقيق التنمية، ويعد التعليم أحد الاحتياجات الرئيسية لكافة المجتمعات الإنسانية، والجودة في التعليم هي الانتقال من ثقافة الحد الأدنى إلى ثقافة الإتقان والتميز، لذا دأبت هذه المجتمعات وبشكل مستمر على العمل نحو تطوير المؤسسات التعليمية بما يفي باحتياجات الحاضر ويتلاءم مع معطيات المستقبل إشكالية وقد سعى البحث لبيان العلاقة التي تربط رفع مستويات جودة المؤسسات التعليمية واستثمارها، ومواجهة تحديات هذا الاستثمار والآفاق المستقبلية التي تعقب هذه المساعي، من منظور اسلامي، إذ ربط الإسلام بين كافة جوانب التربية والتعليم في سياق فريد بدءاً من اعتباره طلب العلم فريضة على كل مسلم ومسلمة مصداقاً لقول سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم: طلب العلم فريضة على كل مسلم ومسلمة، وانتهاءً بدعوته لنشره وتعميمه، وبين كذلك فضل العلم في قوله تعالى: إن وقوله تعالى: يرفع الله الذين آمنوا منكم والذين أوتـوا العلــم درجات ( المجادلة 11). ومفهوم الجودة مفهوم أصيل في ديننا الإسلامي وينطلق من عموميات كثيرة، فالجودة مكونة من الدقة والإتقان؛ وهذان المفهومان نجدهما في نصوص كثير في كتاب الله تعالى وسنة نبينا محمد عليه الصلاة والسلام، واعتبار الجودة في العمل ركن أساسي يعتمد عليه عند ممارسة الأعمال والمهن في الإسلام، وهذا شأن منهج الله سبحانه وتعالى في دعوته الإنسان إلى الجودة والإحسان والإبداع، وصدق الله تعالى حيث يقول﴿ صبغة الله ومن أحسن من الله صيغة ونحن له عابدون﴾ (سورة البقرة، الآية 138)، وقد اعتمد البحث على المنهج الوصفي في توصيف العلاقة التي تربط جودة مؤسسات التعليم في العراق بمتطلبات تحقيق التنمية المستدامة التي تنطلق من الاهتمام بجودة الكادر التدريسي وجودة الطالب وصولاً إلى جودة الإدارة التعليمية البشرية بتأصيل نظري وبحثي وفق هذا المنهج.
وتوصّل البحث إلى عدة استنتاجات أبرزها أنّ تحقيق متطلبات التنمية المستدامة، يحتاج إلى تطوير جودة المؤسسات التعليمية في العراق، ومن ثمّ تقديم حلول للعقبات المادية والتشريعية والبشرية بغية استثمار فرص التنمية المستدامة.
