ABSTRACT
The implementation of inclusive education has been implemented in most districts/cities in Indonesia, one of which is in the city of Batu. Batu City cares about the education and development of students with special needs as seen in the launch of an inclusive education program. In this regard, this study aims to evaluate the educators of schools providing inclusive education in Batu City based on the Guidelines for the Implementation of Inclusive Education by the PKLK Directorate in 2011. The research design used in this study was an evaluative study with a qualitative approach. Most of the educators in the two inclusive education schools in Batu City have qualified as special educators, because they have an extraordinary education background. Two schools have one special supervisor each. The recruitment of special educators carried out by both schools is in accordance with the guidelines because they can recruit and submit to the Education Office, while the availability of special educators in one school is still not balanced with the number of GDPK that is available. accepted in school, therefore the handling for PDBK by GPK is still not optimal due to limited teaching time.

Perpustakaan merupakan salah satu sarana menggali informasi, belajar dan berdiskusi, oleh karena itu harus dijaga dari faktor-faktor yang dapat mengganggu kenyamanan karena kenyamanan sangat berperanguh dalam berkonsentrasi sehingga kegiatan membaca maupun berdiskusi berjalan dengan maksimal. Salah satu faktor yang menggangu dalam proses belajar baik itu membaca dan berdiskusi adalah kebisingan. Dalam melakukan tindakan pencegahan kebisingan petugas Perpustakaan Universitas AMIKOM Purwokerto masih menggunakan cara konvensional yaitu dengan menegur pengunjung perpustakaan yang melakukan kebisingan. Hal ini belum efektif jika terus karena petugas perpustakaan tidak bisa setiap saat menegur pengunjung yang melakukan kebisingan karena pengunjung itu sendiri sering melakukan kebisingan yang berulang hal ini dapat menganggu kegiatan kerja yang dilakukan oleh petugas perpustakaan. Jika kebisingan tersebut dibiarkan terlalu lama akibatnya akan menggangu konsentrasi pengunjung dalam membaca dan melakukan diskusi. Tujuan dari pembuatan alat ini yaitu terbentuknya Alat Pendeteksi dan Pemberi Peringatan Kebisingan Suara Berbasis Arduino sebagai salah satu upaya membantu staf perpustakaan dalam hal mengontrol atau mengendalikan kenyamanan ruangan Perpustakaan Universitas AMIKOM Purwokerto dari kebisingan yang berlebihan. Metode pengembangan sistem yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah prototype. Hasil pengujian dari alat ini dapat mendeteksi kebisingan suara sekaligus memberi peringatan berupa teks dan audio.
Effects of sitagliptin on serum lipid levels in patients with type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Wu Li-Da , Zhou Nan , Sun Jin-yu , Yu Hao , Wang Ru-Xing 
Published: November 2021

Aim
Lipid abnormalities often occur in patients with diabetes mellitus and the coexistence of diabetes mellitus and dyslipidaemia will increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, the specific effects of sitagliptin on lipid control remain elusive in diabetic patients. The aim of this meta-analysis is to investigate the effects of sitagliptin alone or with other antidiabetic agents on serum lipid control.

Methods
PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase and the ClinicalTrials.gov website were systematically searched from 2006 (the first year that sitagliptin entered market) to 16 January 2021. Eligible studies were randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of sitagliptin including outcomes of serum total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).

Results
A total of 14 RCTs with 2654 patients were identified. Treatment with sitagliptin alone or in combination with other antidiabetic agents significantly reduced serum TC [mean difference (MD) = —5.52 95% confidence interval (95% CI), —7.88 to —3.15; P < 0.00001] and LDL-C (MD = —0.07; 95% CI, —0.14 to 0.00; P < 0.00001) in patients with type 2 diabetes. No statistical significances were found in serum triglycerides (MD = 1.53; 95% CI, —8.22 to 11.28; P = 0.76) or HDL-C (MD = 0.65; 95% CI, —1.59 to 0.29; P = 0.18). Subgroup analyses suggest that sitagliptin can significantly decrease serum LDL-C, TC and triglyceride levels compared with placebo alone, and no statistical significance was found in comparison with the serum HDLC levels.

Conclusion
Sitagliptin alone or in combination with other antidiabetic agents significantly reduces serum TC and LDL-C in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, while no significant difference was observed in serum triglycerides or HDL-C.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
In this paper, the influence of micro PA66/PU in multi-layered biaxial weft knitted (MBWK) fabric reinforced composites on thermal and impact resistance was studied. The main objective was to investigate the role of micro PA66/PU in terms of improving material performance. The results showed that the addition of micro PA66/PU improved the thermal stability of the MBWK composite. It is observed that the onset degradation temperatures increased by 1.6°C in thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) test and the Tg increased by 2.8°C in the dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) test. Besides, the impact energy absorption of composites increased by 5.3% after the addition of micro PA66/PU. The addition of micro PA66/PU effectively reduced the impact damage area from the failure morphology after impact. In simple words, the addition of micro PA66/PU effectively improves the comprehensive properties of composites.
Survey of U.S. Critical Care Practitioners on Net Ultrafiltration Prescription and Practice Among Critically Ill Patients Receiving Kidney Replacement Therapy
Authors: Chen Huiwen , Murugan Raghavan 
Published: November 2021

Abstract

Introduction
The current prescription and practice of net ultrafiltration among critically ill patients receiving kidney replacement therapy in the U.S. are unclear.

Aim of the study
To assess the attitudes of U.S. critical care practitioners on net ultrafiltration (UFNET) prescription and practice among critically ill patients with acute kidney injury treated with kidney replacement therapy.

Methods
A secondary analysis was conducted of a multinational survey of intensivists, nephrologists, advanced practice providers, and ICU and dialysis nurses practising in the U.S.

Results
Of 1,569 respondents, 465 (29.6%) practitioners were from the U.S. Mainly were nurses and advanced practice providers (58%) and intensivists (38.2%). The median duration of practice was 8.7 (IQR, 4.2-19.4) years. Practitioners reported using continuous kidney replacement therapy (as the first modality in 60% (IQR 20%-90%) for UFNET. It was found that there was a significant variation in assessment of prescribed-to-delivered dose of UFNET, use of continuous kidney replacement therapy for UFNET, methods used to achieve UFNET, and assessment of net fluid balance during continuous kidney replacement therapy. There was also variation in interventions performed for managing hemodynamic instability, perceived barriers to UFNET, belief that early and protocol-based fluid removal is beneficial, and willingness to enroll patients in a clinical trial.

Conclusions
There was considerable practice variation in UFNET among critical care practitioners in the U.S., reflecting the need to generate evidence-based practice guidelines for UFNET.
Performative Didactics in a Technological Environment

Abstract
The didactic-performative experience at a distance, centred on the body in action of the training laboratories activated at the University of Study Cattolica del Sacro Cuore of Milan and the University of Study Suor Orsola Benincasa of Naples, encouraged, through the exercise of ‘simplex property’ of the separation of functions, the crossing of borders of ‘presence/distance’, using Didactics at Distance (DAD) as an opportunity to search in everyone the potential patrimony of the action, able to go beyond the classical meanings of interaction, relationship, experience, emotion, through an effort of imagination and simulation, which even interaction with the machine can stimulate.
The research work recalls the ambivalence and the plurality of interpretative keys of the teaching experience and includes its analogies with the performing arts.
Starting from the ‘stage presence’, as a scenic ‘bios’ and source of energy, a third energetic space has been investigated, which can amplify the relational dimension. A space which the biologist Sheldrake defines as ‘morphogenetic field’ is the one in which it is possible, through the activation of an empathic climate, to make all the processes of emotional sharing, expressive rediscovery and acquisition of awareness sprout, making the experience of DAD a formative and transformative one.

Published: November 2021

The human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) gene plays a critical role in breast cancer development and progression. HER2 overexpression characterizes a biologically and clinically aggressive breast cancer subtype. In this study, 60 samples from Iraqi women with breast cancer were collected and investigated for HER2 protein in the tissue by immunohistochemistry. Also, 20 samples from healthy Iraqi women were used as a control. The results showed that 18 (30 %) patients expressed the HER2 protein. A molecular study for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was conducted on samples metastasizing to lymph nodes. DNA was extracted and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to amplify exon 17 and intron 17 of HER2 gene. Sequencing of PCR product was achieved and two SNPs of HER2 gene, one in exon 17 (Ile655Val) and another close to it in intron 17 (rs903506) were studied. In exon 17, SNP Ile655Val was found in 41% of patients, while in intron 17, the non-coding SNP rs903506 was found in 27% of patients. However, no polymorphism was found in the control group. The results may suggest that HER2 gene can be used as a molecular marker for breast cancer.
Hypoxia signature: A useful tool for hypoxia recognition among aircrew
Authors: Kasture S , Nataraja MS , Mohapatra SS , Sinha B 
Published: November 2021

Introduction:
Hypoxia, often referred to as “silent killer,” a common aeromedical stressor in aviation, may have catastrophic events in-flight unless recognized well in time. On exposure to hypoxia, an individual manifests a specific spectrum of symptoms referred to as “hypoxia signature.” The present study was conducted to assess the manifestation of “hypoxia signature” on repeated exposure to simulated hypobaric hypoxia for its potential usage as a tool for hypoxia recognition.

Material and Methods:
Twenty-two healthy adult volunteers were subjected to a simulated altitude of 22,000 feet for a duration of 5 min in the hypobaric altitude chamber. The symptoms experienced by the participants at the said altitude were recorded using a questionnaire. The heart rate (HR) and oxygen saturation (SpO2) were recorded during the exposure. The hypoxia exposure was repeated two more times with a minimum interval of 3 weeks between each. Paired t-test was used to compare the mean values of physiological parameters (HR and SpO2) between ground level and 22000 feet recorded in all the three exposures. The hypoxia symptoms and their severity reported during the exposures were compared with those of recalled symptoms (reported after 3 weeks of exposure) using McNemar test and Wilcoxon Signed Rank test, respectively.

Results:
Paired t-test revealed a statistically significant increase in HR and fall in SpO2 with rise in altitude from ground level to 22000 feet. The three most common symptoms consistently observed were lightheadedness, thinking slow, and warm feeling. The common hypoxic symptoms and their severity scores reported at 22,000 feet compared with recalled counterpart during subsequent exposures did not reveal any significant differences (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:
There was a high degree of similarity in the frequency and severity score of symptoms between acute exposure to hypobaric hypoxia and recall indicating evidence of repeatability of symptoms across the three sessions of hypoxia exposure within the individuals. This brings out the usefulness of “hypoxia signature” as a tool for hypoxia recognition and its application in hypoxia indoctrination and training for aircrew.
Effects of whole body vibration on human contrast sensitivity function
Authors: Bhowmick B , Gaur D , Rastogi P 
Published: November 2021

Introduction:
Vibration is a known aeromedical stressor in rotary-winged aircraft and is known to affect visual acuity (VA). In aerospace operational conditions, contrast sensitivity (CS) takes the upper hand over VA for optimal visual performance. Examination of the effects of low frequencies whole body vibration of short duration on CS was the desired objective of the study.

Material and Methods:
Thirty healthy volunteers were exposed to low frequency whole body vibration using Multi-axial Vibration Simulator. Vibration frequency along the Z-axis varied from 4 to 20 Hz over a period of 30 min. CS was recorded in no vibration, under vibration and 30 min following exposure to vibration using CSV-1000 equipment at spatial frequencies of 3, 6, 12, and 18 cycles per degree (cpd).

Results:
CS, after an initial degradation, gradually improved with the increase in frequencies of vibration for the lower spatial frequencies (3, 6 cpd). The increasing trend was also noticed for higher spatial frequencies (12, 18 cpd) till 16 Hz; thereafter, a significant dip (P = 0.048) was observed at 20 Hz of vibration. No significant difference was observed following 30 min of post exposure.

Conclusion:
In contrast to the popular belief, an improvement in CS with increasing frequencies of vibration could be concluded from the results of the study. However, the sudden decrement in CS at higher CPD at higher frequencies of vibration could adversely affect visual performance of an aircrew.
Analysis of incapacitation during +Gz induced loss of consciousness
Authors: Sharma MD , Biswal P , Taneja N , Agarwal A 
Published: November 2021

Introduction:
Occurrence of G induced loss of consciousness (G-LOC) during centrifuge training is a known entity. The Indian Air Force is currently undertaking high G training of its fighter pilots in High Performance Human Centrifuge (HPHC) which has significantly higher operational capabilities. The study aimed to analyse the incapacitation periods and myoclonic jerks associated with G-LOC occurring during HPHC training.

Material and Methods:
Records of episodes of 161 G-LOC during closed loop Rapid Onset Rates (ROR) runs over a period of 7 years from 2011 to 2017 were analyzed. The video recordings of these G-LOC episodes were assessed in terms of the participant demographics, +Gz onset rates, incapacitation periods, and presence or absence of myoclonic jerks during the G-LOC episodes. Descriptive statistics was applied to analyze the incapacitation periods and the duration of the myoclonic flail movements. Single tailed t-test was used to analyze the difference between the incapacitation periods of the aircrew who suffered myoclonic flail movements and those who did not. One-way ANOVA was carried out to assess the differences in incapacitation periods, if any, between aircrew of different age groups. Significance was set at P < 0.05.

Results:
Of these 161 episodes of G-LOC, 43.5% were seen in trainee aircrew. The mean Absolute Incapacitation Period (AIP), Relative Incapacitation Period (RIP) and Total Incapacitation Period (TIP) was 6.9 ± 2.3 s, 12.2 ± 4.7 s, and 19.1 ± 5.5 respectively. Age and flying experience did not show any significant effect with any of the incapacitation periods (p>0.05). The TIP correlated better with the RIP than with the AIP (Pearson’s correlation values of 0.9 and 0.52 respectively). Myoclonic flail movements were witnessed in 25.5% of G-LOC episodes with an average duration of 5.3 s and more than 50% occurring at ≥8Gz. The mean duration of RIP was significantly higher (P=0.03) when G-LOC was associated with myoclonic flail movements, whereas, the duration of AIP did not show any significant difference.

Conclusion:
The shorter incapacitation periods observed in the study compared to that reported in most of the previous studies could be attributed to the faster Gz offset rates of the present HPHC. Episodes of G-LOC having myoclonic movements were found to have higher relative incapacitation periods. Even though these movements were associated with G-LOC occurring at higher Gz levels, the durations were independent of the Gz levels.

Удельная поверхность пористых сред является важным геометрическим параметром в расчетах процессов пищевых систем и оборудования для их переработки. Расчетные формулы процессов тепло- и массообмена в настоящее время содержат осредненные значения геометрических параметров, получаемые в эксперименте. Использование формул удельной поверхности по осредненным характеристикам пористой среды существенно ограничивает точность и надежность расчетов. Получены непрерывные одночленные по всему диапазону размеров сообщающихся пор расчетные формулы удельной поверхности, основанные на функции распределения плотности вероятности размеров сообщающихся пор разных модельных конфигураций в полиразмерной дисперсной (несцепленной) и связной (сцепленной) пористых средах для двух видов исходных формул удельной поверхности, различных видов модельных поперечных сечений и длины пор. Проведен их сравнительный анализ. Установлено, что на расчет удельной поверхности влияет моделируемая длина пор. Вид поперечного сечения не влияет на расчет удельной поверхности. Полученные формулы позволяют вычислять удельную поверхность для ансамбля отдельных размерных групп пор и в целом для всей совокупности их размеров. Приведен пример расчета по полученным формулам.
The specific surface area of porous media is an important parameter in the calculations of the processes of food systems and equipment. The calculated formulas of the heat and mass transfer processes currently contain the averaged values of the geometric parameters obtained in the experiment. The use of formulas the specific surface area based on the averaged characteristics of a porous medium significantly limits the accuracy and reliability of calculations. Continuous monomial calculated formulas for the specific surface and based on the function of the probability density of the size distribution open pores ware obtained. Their comparative analysis is carried out. It was found that the transverse shape is not reflected in the formulas for the specific surface area, but the simulated pore length does. The specific surface area formulas allow calculating the specific surface area for an ensemble of separate size groups of pores and, in general, for the entire set of their sizes. An example of calculation by the obtained formulas is given.
Rocking the boat : women's participation in the World Council of Churches, 1948-1991
Authors:   , Crawford Janet 
Published: November 2021

<p>When the inaugurating assembly of the World Council of Churches (WCC) met in 1948 questions about women's participation in the life and work of the churches, including the ordained ministry, were already on the agenda, placed there by women even though few women participated in any official capacity in the assembly. Since 1948 women's participation has become an increasingly important issue within the life and work of the WCC itself. This thesis, which is based on extensive primary research, documents and discusses women's participation in the WCC from that first assembly in 1948 to the seventh in 1991. By women's participation I understand both the inclusion of women among the representatives of the member churches who participate with some authority in the various policy and decision making bodies within the Council and the contribution of women's experiences, insights and perspectives to its policies and programmes. I argue that although women's participation in the WCC has increased significantly in the period 1948-1991 this increase has occurred only as a result of considerable struggle by women themselves, and that the ongoing pressure from women for their full and equal participation with men gives rise to serious tensions and problems within the WCC today. The basic approach is chronological, with documentation and discussion organised around the seven WCC assemblies held in the period 1948-1991. The slow processes of bureaucratic change through which women's participation has increased are documented in some detail, with particular attention given to their participation in assemblies and on the central committee, these being the two most powerful bodies in the governance of the WCC. Significant changes in the policies and programmes of the WCC resulting from women's participation are discussed, with particular attention paid to the "women's department" which, although its title and mandate have changed more than once, has consistently been the locus of advocacy for women's participation, and the commission on Faith and Order which has addressed theological questions raised by and about women's participation. The conclusion drawn from this study is that women's participation offers a number of significant challenges to the WCC and its member churches in their quest for unity.</p>
Exploratory Study of the Development of REDD Incentives in Bolivia
Authors:   , Jannes Stoppel 
Published: November 2021

<p>International climate change mitigation efforts have been establishing strategies and programs to achieve Reduction of Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) in developing countries like Bolivia. This research aims to assess these developments and examine the major challenges in the conceptualisation, planning and implementation of these strategies in Bolivia. A review of international negotiations and of current literature on various surrounding issues supplied this research with the needed secondary data. Primary data on Bolivian perspectives and visions on the arising challenges of REDD developments were gathered in January and February 2008. The semi-structured interviews aimed to cover a cross societal range of participants from govt to local forest-inhabitant level. Partially, due to climatic instability, the field-research was hampered by a national flood disaster that challenged the gathering of local forest-inhabitant's visions and perspectives. Through this methodology this research defined key issues in the development of international REDD funding governance and in the challenges of national and local policy and project implementation measures. These are evaluated in consideration of global and local equity and climate-justice issues, offer earthcentric considerations in the evolution of REDD and therefore attempt to contribute to the underlying discourse on ecological ethics in climate change mitigation and adaptation.</p>
