Poor Settlements in Chittagong city, Bangladesh: The context of Pollution and Health Risk
Authors: Paul Alak , Haider Md Nakib , Sultana Naznin Nahar 
Published: February 2020

Background: The rapid rate of urbanization in Bangladesh has created some adverse effects on the overall urban environmental health of the cities. Among all, mass poverty, expansion of poor neighbourhood, inadequate supply of urban services such as water, sanitation, waste disposal etc. are mostly responsible for health risks of urban people particularly in low income areas.
Objectives: The aim of this paper is to determine the health risks of the environmentally poor neighbourhoods in Chittagong city by exploring the discourse of pollution, risk, and stigma.
Methods: The study is predominantly based on qualitative data collection methods like participant observations, a case study and FGDs. The method has delivered an in-depth understanding of the pollution-related risks, the physical and mental sufferings of the urban poor due to pollution. Though it is solely a qualitative study, the study is complemented by a quantitative survey method and personal interviews.
Findings: The study revealed that there are two leading environmental risk factors– the structural setting of the neighbourhood and coping practices to everyday life of the poor settlers, who affect the neighbourhood environment. The poor structured living houses, shared kitchens in the environmentally hazardous area, dirty playgrounds, unhygienic latrines, and waste disposal sites near neighbourhoods enhance the risk of diseases and injuries for inhabitants. Similarly, lack of access to pure drinking water, fuel, are generating health risks. Consequently, dwellers, especially women and children, suffer from cough and cold, diarrhoea, gastric/acidity, worm disease, respiratory illness, scabies, headache, allergy, and jaundice regular interval of time.
Conclusion: The study concludes that physical structure of the neighbourhood, and the physical and mental sufferings of its inhabitants are interdependent. To reduce the sufferings of inhabitants and their health hazards can be reduced with the combined efforts of the Government and the NGOs and the local people as well.
Implications: This findings of the study can be useful to the concerned authorities of Bangladesh in planning appropriate policies to control pollution and minimize health risks. For that purpose this study can serve as reference.

Turbin air crossflow adalah salah satu turbin aksi. Besarnya putaran turbin air crossflow ini akibat pemanfaatan energi air pada turbin dilakukan dua kali, yang pertama energi tumbukan air pada sudu-sudu pada saat air masuk, dan yang kedua adalah daya dorong air pada sudu saat air meninggalkan runner. Di dalam perancangan dan pembuatan runner turbin air crossflow mempunyai pengaruh yang besar terhadap putaran. Konstruksi runner turbin air crossflow diantaranya adalah jumlah sudu, ketebalan sudu, kelengkungan sudu, dan bentuk profil sudu. Tesis ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh variasi jumlah sudu runner terhadap unjuk kerja, yaitu variasi jumlah sudu 18, 20 dan 22 buah. Pelaksanaan penelitian digunakan desain eksperimen metode Taguchi yang merupakan metode perbaikan kualitas dengan melakukan percobaan baru.

Introduction: Schizophrenia is a chronic heterogenic neurodevelopment disorder. Many genes interfere in the development of SCZ. All four genes, NrCAM, PRODH, ANK3, and ANKK1, which were evaluated in this study, were previously reported to be associated with Schizophrenia. The NrCAM contributes to creating cognitive deficiencies through the CAM’s signaling pathway. PRODH plays a vital role in creating SCZ negative symptoms through the signaling pathway of glutamatergic and NMDA receptors. ANK3 affects ion channel and molecular adhesion in Ranvier and initial segments of axons, leading to mental retardation, sleep disorder, and SCZ. ANKK1 encodes a protein kinase and was reported to be associated with alcohol addiction, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and SCZ. Methods: The subjects were selected from Schizophrenic patients referring to the Psychiatric Ward of Imam-Hussein Hospital and Schizophrenic Patients Support Institution (AHEBBA). 95 (30 Schizoaffective patients, 57 Paranoid patients, and 8 disorganized) patients were recruited as the subjects in the present case-control association study. 120 healthy subjects were recruited from the Tehran Medical Genetics Laboratory staff and a group of students from the Islamic Azad University of Science and Research in Tehran. The genotypes were determined with molecular genotyping techniques of PCR-RFLP, ARMS-PCR, and Cycle sequencing. Results were analyzed by the Chi-Square test using SPSS V. 24 and R, SNP STATE Package to investigate significant differences between cases and controls. Results: The incidence of schizophrenia was 68% and 32% among men and women, respectively. The evaluation of the allelic association between schizophrenia and all the candidate SNPs showed a significant association between NrCAM's SNP rs10235968 and SCZ (P=0.001). Haplotype T, T, C in rs10235968, rs6967368, rs3763463, respectively, within the NrCAM gene, showed significant association with schizophrenia disorder (P=0.0001). Conclusion: No association was found between other candidate SNPs and SCZ among the subjects.
Розвиток систем спеціальної освіти в україні та польщі (проблематика дослідження)
Authors: Шевченко Володимир 
Published: February 2020

Розкрито проблематику дослідження з розвитку систем спеціальної освіти в Україні та Польщі в ХІХ – початку ХХІ століття. Охарактеризовано методологічну функцію історикопедагогічного порівняльного дослідження для освітньої сучасності України, формування цілісної системи знань про історико-педагогічні процеси в галузі спеціальної освіти двох країн, роль педагогічних концепцій минулого та їхній зв’язок з сучасним реформуванням системи освіти.
За роки незалежності України визначено нові пріоритети розвитку освіти. Водночас темпи та глибина перетворень ще не повною мірою відповідають потребам держави та суспільства. Одержання відповіді на питання сучасності пов’язане із вдумливим осмисленням минулого, об’єктивною оцінкою історичних реалій, вивченням історичних коренів педагогічних ідей, фактів, теорій, концепцій, досвіду педагогів минулих років.
Автор зазначає, що без ґрунтовного аналізу історико-педагогічного процесу розвитку спеціальної освіти в Україні не можливе цілісне розуміння сучасних ідей розвитку спеціальної освіти, досить складно удосконалити існуючі надбання, методики, системи і методи навчання тощо.
Акцентовано, що виконання історико-педагогічних досліджень потребує наративізації, яка вибудовується із врахуванням документальних джерел та окремих фактів, описів, наукових узагальнень, з прагненням у минулому віднайти витоки провідних наукових ідей сучасності.
