Accessible Learning Management Systems: Students’ Experiences and Insights
Full text linkLearning Management System (LMS) is a type of an e-learning system is one of the main infrastructural requirements that improves access to higher education for persons with disabilities.
The primary aim of the research study[1] was to explore perceptions of students with disabilities regarding the use and accessibility of learning management systems and benefits and/or barriers in e-learning.
Students mainly have negative experiences while attempting to enter university web-sites/libraries/LMSs because of the inadequate adaptation to the specific needs of students with disabilities. In countries that do not have a developed LMS, the prevalent mean of communication with professors is via e-mail, in those where there is a LMS, there is not a fully accessibility of entire content and services for students with special needs.
This research defined the need for creation of an accessible LMS or adjusted already existing LMS with accessibility solutions such as: a text-to-speech engine for blind students, a mode with sign language support for deaf students and a mode which supports dyslexic.Â

The results showed that the problem of flooding resulted in citizens not getting their rights to a good and healthy environment. The citizen lawsuit is carried out so that state officials issue a general regulatory policy as a preventive one (disaster mitigation) so that floods do not occur again in the future

Criminal Law Reform Toward Deprivation of Property Resulting from Corruption Criminal Acts: A Criminological Perspective
Full text linkCriminal law reform is part of criminal law policy and is closely related to law enforcement policies, criminal policies and social policies. One of the forms of national legal development reform is the Reform of the Criminal Justice System (SPP) which is an integral part of a sub-system, namely legal substance, legal structure, and legal culture. Corruption as an organized crime in Indonesia is categorized as extra ordinary crimes that have an impact on the creation of injustice in society. One of the injustices referred to is related to the non-return of state losses stolen by corruptors. Whereas efforts to recover state losses are closely related to legal instruments in force in a country. In Indonesia, the Criminal Code and the Law on the Eradication of Corruption places the confiscation of proceeds of corruption only as an additional punishment and does not have a clear formula for the mechanism of deprivation of properties, resulting in unclarity/obscurity of norms. This condition should not occur, therefore it is necessary to reform the criminal law immediately by studying the criminal perpetrators of a criminological perspective, which is related to the factors that cause people to commit criminal acts of curruption.   This article is a study of the author concerning the importance of making legal arrangements regarding the deprivation of properties from the proceeds of corruption to mitigate the state losses. This article is compiled by applying normative legal research using statutory approaches, historical approaches, conceptual approaches and comparative approaches. It is concluded that there must be immediate reform of criminal law in Indonesia, especially regarding the deprivation of properties from the criminal act of corruption based on the development of criminal behavior (criminology) and the development of international criminal law concerning corruption

The relationship between the mother country Iran and Turkey, immigration and identity policies in this area will be read and the consequences of this process on the immigration policies of these countries and its impact on countries will be examined and analyzed
Perception and use of Contraceptives among Women in Farming Households of Rural Oyo State, Nigeria
No full textThe objective of this study was to investigate the extent and perception of contraceptive use among women from farming households in Oyo state, Nigeria. Descriptive statistics were used in profiling the socioeconomic characteristics of respondents, a multinomial logistic model was used to estimate the determinants of contraceptive usage, while the Likert scale was used to measure their perception towards the use of contraceptives. A total of 150 women were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. The results obtained indicated that while only 27% of the women were aware of contraceptives, 23% of them had used them. Cost was the most important consideration among the women for choosing a method as indicated by 41% of them. Further, among those who had not used any contraceptive, traditional and religious beliefs were their major considerations. The regression analysis showed formal education to be a significant factor (at ?0.05) that increased the probability of women embracing contraception. Perception towards contraceptives among women in rural Oyo State, Nigeria was seen to be generally positive, although convenience of the methods (mean score 1.49) and side effects (means score 1.35) were considered to be drawbacks. It was recommended that more awareness needed to be created on birth control along with the introduction of modern methods of contraception with fewer side effects. Also, family planning interventions in Nigeria should be made context-specific and culturally appealing so as to increase their acceptability in rural farming communities.Bu gözlegiň maksady, Nigeriýanyň Oýo ştatynda daýhan hojalygyndaky aýallaryň arasynda göwreliligiň öňüni alyş serişdeleriniň ulanylyşyny we derejesini öwrenmekdi.

Countering Subtractive Bilingualism with Additive Bilingualism in the Albanian Language
Full text linkThe English language is the lingua franca of education, trade, and employment. However, with such a global influence, the English language sometimes interferes with the native languages via subtractive bilingualism. The aim of this essay is to explain the negative effects of subtractive bilingualism on a global scale in general, elaborate on its negative effects on the Albanian language in particular, and propose solutions to the problem.Â
To achieve such an aim, research related to the macroscopic model of determinants of additive and subtractive bilingualism (MMDASB) was consulted. Based on the research findings, I conclude that the school milieu should lead by example in using additive bilingualism to counter subtractive bilingualism. In doing so, the school milieu would counter subtractive bilingualism on the sociological, socio-psychological, and psychological levels as predicted in the MMDASB (Landry & Allard, 1993) model. Following the conclusion, concrete proposals for promoting additive bilingualism by the higher education in the school milieu are recommended
