Inclusive Education in Higher Education Students: A Systematic Review in Scopus and Web of Science Between 2019 And 2023
Get PDFThis study performs a systematic review of the literature on inclusive education in higher education students. The research followed the guidelines of the PRISMA methodology for the identification of records in the Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases during the period 2019 to 2023. During the information search process, a total of 199 records were found. From both databases, which after going through rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria, 17 investigations were finally obtained that were included for the review. The included studies sought to answer the research question: What factors are important to promote inclusive education as a pedagogical model in higher education students? According to the information found in the systematization of the articles, 2 tables of contents were generated that show the authors, countries/regions according to the corresponding author, the keywords of the studies, the dimensions, instruments, study approaches, strategies of execution and conclusions of the studies in order to contrast data to find strengths or weaknesses in the studies that support answering the research question. The results showed that Spain is the leading country in publication with corresponding authors, with 82.4% of all studies. Likewise, 47.01% of the studies presented a quantitative approach. On the other hand, educational strategies stand out such as: the use of digital resources (videoconference), the use of ApS (Service-Learning), civic moral disconnection and didactic strategies (physical activities), since they aim to develop dynamics of academic development, cognitive, social and professional with the aim of promoting inclusive education in higher education students. Another factor to consider is the positive attitude of teachers towards disability and cultural diversity, so that they promote inclusion in their practices. In this way, it is concluded that, to promote inclusive education in higher education students, the following should be considered: teacher support, the use of innovative educational strategies and the open participation of all students in inclusive activities to promote a diverse education atmosphere in order to support students with physical, mental, sensory disabilities or cultural differences to obtain professional training

An Accurate Phenotypic Study of The Foliar Epidermis for Some Species of Silene L. From Caryophyllaceae Family in Iraq
No full textIn the present research work, detailed micromorphological features study (investigated for foliar epidermal anatomy) for five species of the genus Silene L., belonging to the family Caryophyllaceae. One of the essential anatomical characteristics of the leaf in this genus observed two basic stomata types on both adaxial and abaxial epidermis, diacytic and anisocytic, from five species, three species have distinguished a diacytic type, exception two species S. chlorifolia and S. longipetala appeared to have both a diacytic and anisocytic, also has astrocytic crystals within epidermal cells. Also in the present work, 3 species out of 5 have trichomes on their both surfaces, observed having them multicellular uniseriate. All the taxa were the distinguished shape of the guard cells as reniform-like from a full short reniform in all species. So the general shape of ordinary epidermal cells, anticlinal wall of the epidermal cells, type of stomata cells, collar shape marginal of guard cells, and trichomes. Images enhanced the micromorphological characteristics under study. Information on the locations and dates of the collection was also confirmed. This study revealed that the micromorphological features of the family are taxonomically signi?cant in the accurate identi?cation of species
A New Discrete Raleigh Distribution and its Application in Immunogold Assay Data
Get PDFRecently, discretization of continuous distribution was enchanted by many researchers especially in the field of reliability engineering and life testing. This is because the existing models are unsuited for many practical situations. For discretizing continuous distributions, various methods are available in literature. Among them a newly developed method is the two-stage composite discretization method which includes three different methodologies. Using these methodologies, we propose some new discretized distributions obtained through the discretization of Rayleigh distribution. We compare the hazard rate functions of Rayleigh, Discrete Rayleigh with the newly proposed discrete distributions. The flexibility of the model is illustrated using immunogold assay data
A Critical Review and Experimental Study on Samyoga Viruddha with Special Reference to Ksheera and Dadhi
Get PDFAyurveda the science of life is a time-tested treasure of knowledge that has been handed down to us from our great ancestors. For total positive health Ayurveda has given three sub pillars - Ahara, Nidra and Brahmacarya, which support the body itself, any sort of its vitiation directly affects the pillars (Tridoshas) themselves. Here Ahara has been enumerated first, which shows its importance. Food plays a decisive role in development, sustenance, reproduction and termination of life. Intake of unwholesome foods and drinks causes vitiation of bodily Doshas and Dhatus, hence causes diseases. When the laws of dietetic regimens are broken it leads to numerous diseases. The study design includes literal study, analytical study on free radical, experimental study by taking ten hematological & fifteen biochemical parameters, histopathological examination of internal organs for a period of 28 days. The effect of Viruddha Ahara is slow and spread over a long time that we fail to notice its effects in the body, so an animal experiment with subacute toxicity study was planned. Wistar strain rats of middle age were selected, grouped into two as control and test each containing six rats. Ksheera and Dadhi were given to Wistar rats for 28 days in the morning hours. Then the values were taken according to the parameters designed. The parameters were designed to evaluate the consequences of Ksheera and Dadhi as a Samyoga Viruddha by observing the changes in experimental study, hematological and biochemical parameters, gross behavioral changes, ponderal changes, food and water intake changes & behavioral changes. The Values were taken and analyzed statistically and compared to get the results. Antioxidant test using DPPH assay shows that the combination of curd and milk together will increase the level of free radicals in the body Thus overall analysis from experimental indicates the difference between normal and Viruddhahara group- which are not marked but significant enough to indicate the validity behind the concept of Viruddha Ahara
Can Aggressive Marketing Cause an Ethical Dilemma?
Get PDFCurrent aimed to answer the question of whether aggressive marketing (Intensity, Frequency, Intrusiveness, Personalization and Persistence) can be seen as an intruder to the ethical value of marketing tactics and strategies. Theoretical framework: Many organizations are seeking multiple approaches to market their product/services. Come of them do not give much attention to the marketing approach as long as it may comeback with profit and promotion to their products. One of these approaches are now called aggressive marketing which is based on organization taking risks and proactive tactics in order to guarantee its share in the market. Design/Methodology/Approach: Through quantitative methodology and a distribution of a questionnaire on (293) managers and officer within companies registered with the Companies Control Department. The answer to the question is the fact that YES, aggressive marketing can be a source of an ethical dilemma and companies must be careful not to cross ethical or legal boundaries in their marketing efforts, such as making false or misleading claims, using deceptive advertising, or engaging in unfair competition practices. Findings: Results also indicated that in some cases, aggressive of marketing can turn into harassment, with individuals receiving multiple phone calls, emails or direct mail that creates a sense of discomfort, anxiety or fear. Such marketing practices could be seen as abusive, unethical, and illegal. The level of intensity in aggressive marketing should be carefully calibrated to balance the need to generate sales with the need to maintain customer trust and brand reputation over the long term. Research, Practical & Social Implications: The theoretical implications of current study would involve examining the relationship between aggressive marketing tactics and their impact on the ethical framework of businesses, organizations and their stakeholders. On a practical level, the study's findings could have significant implications for the way in which companies approach marketing and promotions. Originality/value: The study could also highlight the importance of establishing clear ethical standards and guidelines for businesses and marketers, in order to prevent negative impact on customers and public perception
Nutraceuticals Play an Emerging Role in SARS CoV2 and Neurological Dysfunction
Get PDFThe ApoE4 allele is a well-studied genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, a condition with increasing prevalence and no cure. Precision nutrition, which targets metabolic pathways affected by ApoE4, offers a potential tool for disease prevention. However, long-term human studies on effective nutritional protocols for preventing Alzheimer's in ApoE4 carriers are lacking, partly because the precise mechanisms underlying the increased dementia risk in carriers are not fully understood. Fortunately, recent research has shed light on these mechanisms, opening up opportunities for potential risk reduction through lifestyle and nutrition interventions. In this research paper we discuss about the chawanprash phytocompounds and it is found that Terchebin is the effective phytocompund though docking and simulation methods and thereby indicating the potent Nutraceutical against various Neurological manifestations that is caused due to SARS Cov2 and AD. In this review, we explore recent findings on how ApoE4 impacts various cellular processes, including microglia and other inflammatory pathways
ANFIS Control for Solar PV fed Modular Multilevel Inverter for Marine Water Pumping Applications
Get PDFIn this paper, we show our work developing and implementing a Modular Multilevel Inverter (MMI) for intelligent Induction Motor (IM) drive control. Pumping water from the sea is the primary focus of these methods. It has been suggested that an eleven-stage inverter could be used to regulate the speed of a photovoltaic solar-powered IM drive. It is estimated that pumps account for roughly half of a ship's total energy consumption. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate and assess the proposed control design for an induction motor (IM) drive and MMI-based marine water pumping system. The primary motivation behind this design was to reduce the complexity of the controller. Controllers based on Proportional-Integral (PI), Fuzzy Logic (FL), and Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Interference System (ANFIS) are tested alongside the inverter to see how well they improve performance. The Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of inverters, controller settling times, and peak overshoot have all been compared to identify the most robust option. In order to establish which of these elements is superior, this comparison was performed. The suggested control scheme's novel feature is the design and integration of a marine-specific MMI, IM drive, and intelligent controller for use in marine water pumping applications
The Effectiveness of Different Types of PDA Culture Media on the Mycelial Growth of Shimeji Mushroom
Get PDFThis experiment aims to compare different types of PDA culture media recipes, including potato, sweet potato, pumpkin, and sugar banana, for their effects on the growth of Shimeji mushroom mycelium. It also aims to provide alternative options for formulating culture media for Shimeji mushroom spawn cultivation. A completely randomized design (CRD) was employed for the experiment, with four treatments and five replicates each, as follows: (T1) potato-based media; (T2) sweet potato-based media; (T3) pumpkin-based media; (T4) sugar banana-based media. Data collection involved daily measurements of the length (in centimeters) and width (in centimeters) for a period of seven days. After the experiment concluded, data analysis was conducted to determine the variation and compare the mean values of the treatments using Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) and package software. The experimental results showed that over a period of 3, 5, and 7 days, the potato-based media (T1) exhibited the highest growth of Shimeji mushroom mycelium and the highest mycelium density values, measuring 6.2000, 3.2000, and 0.0000a (density scale +++). The pumpkin-based media (T3) had lower mean values of 0.9000, 3.1600, and 0.0000a (density scale +) for mycelium growth and density. Therefore, it can be concluded that among the four PDA media recipes tested over a period of 3, 5, and 7 days, the potato-based media (T1) demonstrated the highest mycelium growth and density values of approximately 6.2000, 3.2000, and 0.0000a (density scale +++)
The Effect of Health Education Toward Preventive Measures Of COVID-19 Among Employees in Duhok City-Iraq: A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial
No full textBackground: Increasing the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours of public sector employees regarding COVID-19 is one of the most effective ways to stop the spread of this virus. A substantial portion of the community is made up of people who work in the public sector. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and enhance government workers' knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding COVID-19 preventive measures among directorates in Duhok city in Iraqi Kurdistan. Methods: A cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted among directorates’ employees in Duhok city, the age ranged between 18 and 75. Simple random sampling was used in the study. A structured questionnaire was applied for pre and post-test for intervention and control group. The KAP questions included COVID-19 preventive measures (vaccines, face masks, social distances and hygiene). Results: The findings demonstrated that intervention group improved significantly at (P<0.01) toward KAP related to COVID-19 preventive measures. In terms of knowledge, attitude, and practice of COVID-19 preventive measures, the intervention group exceeded the control group on the post-test compared to the pre-test. The significant changes were recorded among good level of economic status by (2.69) degrees increased in the difference between pre and post-test in intervention group. In contrast, there are no improving in the post-test among those very low income in terms of knowledge at (P<0.01). however, the second large improvement was related to practice from (5.05) increased to (6.61) at (P<0.01). All other demographic characteristics, including age, occupation, religion, education, and place of residence, showed statistically significant variance at (P <0.01). Conclusion: Health education is regarded as beneficial for general awareness and crucial COVID-19 preventive measures
