DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES OF SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAMS IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Authors: Shumaieva Svitlana 
Published: April 2023

The article analyzes the developmental stages of special education teacher training programs in the United States of America. It was founded that for many years there were no licensing requirements or programs to train teachers to work with children with special educational needs. The civil rights movement, legislative revisions, and court cases changes in special education teacher training and service delivery models for students with disabilities. The article describes three eras of teacher training each differed from the previous one by improving conditions for children with disabilities. The first teacher training programs were started in the early 1950s and were intended for special educational and clinical institutions for children with speech and hearing impairments, mental retardation, and deaf students. In 1958, The Education of Mentally Retarded Children Act was passed and the practice of training special education teachers in colleges and universities began. In 1975, Congress passed the Education for All Handicapped Children Act. In the mid-1970s, competency-based teacher education began to operate, but scientists came to the conclusion that this practice is too mechanical and does not cover all the nuances of teacher training. In the 1990s, the Learning Behavior Specialist-1 Licensure was introduced to serve the majority of students with disabilities in state schools and the quality of teacher training was improved. As for today, every student with limited educational opportunities can be fully or partially included in general education institutions or a special school. The decision is made by the committee that develops the Individualized Education Plan or the 504 Plan.

An Appraisal of Participant Observation Methodology
Authors: Shahshahani Soheila 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
All different sciences are defined in a specific way. It is not enough to define anthropology as a science that has studied human beings at all times and all places. It is the methodology of anthropology that is unique and increasingly appreciated by other fields. With the spread of COVID-19, as displacement became a problem, for the researcher and for those s/he had to be with, this methodology was temporarily put into question: social media or simply telephone contacts to gather data was used. The collection of articles in this issue reconfirms that it is through participant observation that the researcher can diligently and exhaustively study a topic or shine new light upon well-studied topics. Our topics are varied this time, some papers are from different fields, our methodology remains the same.
The Invisible Inhabitants of a Cultural Limbo
Authors: Sevgi Mehmet Ali 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
This qualitative study, based on interviews and participant observation, is an effort to understand the religious identities of Turkish Shi'is (Ja'faris) living in Igdir by examining their rituals, their social and cultural lives, and their relations with Iran. The local population of Igdir consists of Shi'i Turks and Sunni Kurds. While the Turkish Shi'is living in the region meet on common ground with the majority of the country with their ethnic identities, they differ in their religious identities. It is possible to see these differences in the sociocultural life of the city, its religious rituals, and its multifaceted relations with Iran, the center of Shi'ism. The results of this research, which spanned a long period and included people from different parts of society, may constitute a basis for the further discussion of some points about the Ja'faris living in Igdir.
Filthy Old People

Published: April 2023

Abstract
Based on an ethnographic study the article explores ageism in the context of gyms in Israel. It questions perceptions of ‘old age’ as having self-evident existence. As bodily characteristics are prominent in the social surrounding of the gym, this context serves as a convenient sphere for examining ageism. The findings reveal that fitness activity is perceived by all gym participants as serving to mitigate physical fragility. They also demonstrate that the attitude toward older exercisers shifts from encouragement to contempt and disregard. However, significant differences were found, depending on the contexts and situations, the specific sites, the extent of social integration, and other characteristics.
Design of delay compensation algorithm in remote auction network for digital art works
Authors: Wu Min , Chun-Wei Lin Jerry 
Published: April 2023

Aiming at the problem of delay and packet loss in current remote network, a delay compensation algorithm for high-speed network is studied and applied to the remote auction of digital art works. High-speed network delay mainly includes: transmission processing delay, waiting delay, transmission delay, and reception processing delay. The delay model of high-speed network is designed by using a time division multiple access protocol. Based on the high-speed network delay model, the Kalman filter is used to design the high-speed network delay control algorithm to maintain the high-speed network delay. At the same time, the round-trip delay compensation algorithm based on link delay is used to compensate the high-speed network delay. The experimental results show that the proposed method compensates the delay of more than 235 ms, and the packet loss rate of high-speed network is only 0.59%, and the throughput reaches 241 Mbit/s, which validates the algorithm can effectively compensate the delay of high-speed network and reduce the packet loss rate of high-speed network.
Publishing public transport data on the Web with the Linked Connections framework

Published: April 2023

Publishing transport data on the Web for consumption by others poses several challenges for data publishers. In addition to planned schedules, access to live schedule updates (e.g. delays or cancellations) and historical data is fundamental to enable reliable applications and to support machine learning use cases. However publishing such dynamic data further increases the computational burden for data publishers, resulting in often unavailable historical data and live schedule updates for most public transport networks. In this paper we apply and extend the current Linked Connections approach for static data to also support cost-efficient live and historical public transport data publishing on the Web. Our contributions include (i) a reference specification and system architecture to support cost-efficient publishing of dynamic public transport schedules and historical data; (ii) empirical evaluations on route planning query performance based on data fragmentation size, publishing costs and a comparison with a traditional route planning engine such as OpenTripPlanner; (iii) an analysis of potential correlations of query performance with particular public transport network characteristics such as size, average degree, density, clustering coefficient and average connection duration. Results confirm that fragmentation size influences route planning query performance and converges on an optimal fragment size per network. Size (stops), density and connection duration also show correlation with route planning query performance. Our approach proves to be more cost-efficient and in some cases outperforms OpenTripPlanner when supporting the earliest arrival time route planning use case. Moreover, the cost of publishing live and historical schedules remains in the same order of magnitude for server-side resources compared to publishing planned schedules only. Yet, further optimizations are needed for larger networks (>1000 stops) to be useful in practice. Additional dataset fragmentation strategies (e.g. geospatial) may be studied for designing more scalable and performant Web apis that adapt to particular use cases, not only limited to the public transport domain.
Finished and unfinished rhythm in architectural composition
Authors: Kedrovska Iya 
Published: April 2023

The rhythm was at all times and in all forms of art. Already in the countries of the Ancient East the composition was ordered, distinguished by strictness, the presence of rhythm. In ancient Egyptian and Greek art rhythm was also the main form of composition.
In the Renaissance rhythm was considered one of the three main tasks of composition. Knowledge about rhythm as an integral compositional means is constantly expanding, especially after the first theoretical works on architectural composition. Rhythm is an even alternation of ordered elements and is considered one of the most influential means of creating a coherent architectural composition.
Rhythmic (metrical) order as a regularity can develop endlessly, but in an artistic composition, where integrity and unity of form are an integral attribute, repetition must have certain limits, a series must have a limited length and have a beginning and an end. In this connection a number of creative problems arise when using rhythm in specific architectural compositions of the frontal surface. It is necessary to notice the peculiarity of the combination of three elements in the composition – if there is a clearly expressed axis, then the ternary rhythm (the one consisting of only 3 elements) is considered complete, if there are elements built according to an increasing or decreasing vector, then this type of ternary rhythm must be completed by methods of stopping the rhythm. On the frontal architectural plane the rhythm can appear in an unstoppable form when the idea of the work consists in bringing the viewer's thought out of the compositional field – an opportunity to have own thoughts about the work, to get the answers outside the creation. In this case the rhythm really does not stop visually. In order for such frontal compositions to feel complete the elements of the rhythmic series and the composition in general must be carefully proportioned, or the stop of the rhythm must be manifested by the natural boundaries of the form which is not visible visually but sensuously encompasses the rhythmic series. The finished rhythm can be achieved by the main ways of stopping it in the composition: form, "extreme element", "rhythm – counter rhythm", stopping the vertical rhythm with a horizontal one. The use of methods of stopping the rhythm in compositional practice simplifies the creation of a complete composition.

Published: April 2023

Introduction: Auto-mastoidectomy is a rare complication that can develop after chronic middle ear infection and can be seen in cases where no response to classical infection treatment is obtained.
Case Report: A 55-year-old male patient applied to the emergency department for a left ear pain complaint. In his examination, he was conscious, but orientation and cooperation were not complete. The brain CT showed a mastoidectomy cavity on the left, but he had never been operated on.
Conclusion: The destruction of bones and tissues may cause the current condition in the brain. This case report examines a case of auto-mastoidectomy, which can be diagnosed when the brain abscess develops.

Published: April 2023

ObjectiveTo explore the results of hypertension improvement and renal function preservation after renal artery aneurysm (RAA) repair.MethodsThis study retrospectively analyzed the change in blood pressure (BP) and renal outcomes of 59 RAA patients throughout either open or endovascular operations and follow-up at a large center. Patients were grouped according to the difference in their BP at the last follow-up vs. their baseline value. Logistic regression was conducted to explore risk factors for perioperative BP relief and long-term hypertension reonset. Previous studies of RAA with records of BP, blood creatinine level, or GFR/eGFR results are reviewed.ResultsHypertension was observed in 62.7% (37/59) of the patients included. Postoperative BP declined from 132.20 ± 16.46/79.92 ± 9.64 mmHg to 122.41 ± 11.17/71.10 ± 9.82 mmHg, while eGFR changed from 108.17 ± 24.73 to 98.92 ± 23.87 ml/min/1.73 m2. The median follow-up was 854 [IQR: 1,405] days. Both open and endovascular techniques significantly relieved hypertension and did not impair renal function much. Lower preoperative systolic BP (SBP) was significantly associated with hypertension relief (OR = 0.83, 95% CI: 0.70–0.99). Among patients with normal BP after the operation, higher postoperative SBP was significantly associated with new-onset hypertension (OR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.01–1.29). Literature review indicated that renal function usually remained normal at follow-up, whereas relief of hypertension varied.ConclusionPatients with lower preoperative SBP were likely to benefit more from the operation, while higher postoperative SBP indicated a higher chance of hypertension reonset. Creatinine level and eGFR generally remained stable regardless of operation type.

IntroductionTeachers' task design in the context of online learning has been little researched by educational researchers. The current research examines the task design of science or mathematics teachers in the context of distance education based on the didactical situation theory and, in particular, situation types.MethodsFourteen teachers participated in the current study. They were interviewed regarding the situation types that they used to design online tasks. We used both deductive and inductive methods to analyze the transcribed interviews.ResultsThe research findings showed that the teachers utilized different categories of the situation types. Moreover, the teachers utilized three types of reference as follows: the institution, the individual, and the tool. The participating mathematics and science teachers attempted to integrate argumentation into their designed tasks. Furthermore, the situation of communication was designed by the participating teachers to enable the interaction between and inside different agents of online education (students, teachers, and parents) while utilizing different communicational channels (mobile social networks, Zoom rooms, Zoom sessions, student's homes, and Google Classroom). The teachers designed situations of action to address the various aspects of learning, namely, the cognitive, social, affective, and psychological aspects.DiscussionWe argue that the design of online tasks could utilize the didactical situation of action, where the online students are requested to reflect critically on the online tasks. We recommend that teachers request reflection and feedback from their students regarding the tasks that they design for online learning.

ObjectivesObesity measurement indexes have certain screening value for metabolic diseases. To investigate associations between metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and obesity measurement indexes, including traditional indexes (BMI, WC, WHtR) and new indexes (ABSI, BRI, VAI, LAP), and assess their screening ability.Methods12,658 subjects aged 18-75 at the Health Center of a Class III Grade A Hospital were included, who were divided into MAFLD and non-MAFLD groups. Spearman’s rank correlation was used to study the correlation between MAFLD and obesity measurement indexes. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to calculate the area under the curve (AUC) to evaluate their screening accuracy.ResultsMAFLD had strong correlation with traditional BMI and new index LAP. ROC analysis showed that BMI had the highest AUC (0.89), followed by LAP (0.87). Stratification by BMI, LAP had the highest AUC (0.90) for MAFLD in population without obesity (BMI&lt; 23kg/m2), and its optimal cutoff value was 20.75, with a sensitivity and specificity of 85.9% and 79.0%, respectively.ConclusionsWe proposed a two-step screening strategy for MAFLD, combining BMI and LAP, and defined a high-risk population for MAFLD as follows: 1) BMI ≥ 23 kg/m2; and 2) BMI&lt; 23 kg/m2 and LAP ≥ 20.75.

Published: April 2023

Objective: For analyzing the distribution characteristics of MTHFR C677T polymorphism in Chinese females in order to provide information for reducing birth defects and formulating public health policies to prevent congenital malformations.Methods: Literature search in the last 6 years on “MTHFR C677T,” “polymorphism” and “methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase.” The included literature provides the MTHFR C677T frequency in healthy females in the corresponding regions. The data were grouped by the national administrative region as a unit to obtain the distribution information of the MTHFR C677T and alleles in the female population in every province, municipality or autonomous region. This was done for analyzing the overall distribution of the MTHFR C677T allele and the geographical distribution of pregnancy complications.Results: A total of 126 studies were included, covering five autonomous areas, four municipalities directly under the Central Government, as well as 22 provinces (except Taiwan Province) in China. MTHFR C677T polymorphism data of 27 groups of Chinese Han women and 31 groups of other Chinese females were obtained, and the chi-square test revealed notable inter-group differences (p = 0.000). The TT genotype and T allele of MTHFR C677T accounted for 18.2% (4.7%–38.3%) and 40.3% (19.7%–61.4%) of the Chinese female population, respectively, with a significant north-south difference. Chinese females had a consistent frequency of the T allele with the geographical distribution of pregnancy complications such as recurrent abortion and preeclampsia.Conclusion: With a obvious geographical gradient, the MTHFR C677T polymorphism distribution in Chinese females is consistent with the geographical distribution of multiple pregnancy complications, and the risk assessment for it might be included in primary prevention for birth defects.
