Promoting Safe Spaces: Creating Inclusive Educational Environments for Transgender Students
Get PDFThe goal is to create a unified education system that values all children, regardless of their caste, class, gender, sexualities, race, community backgrounds, ethnic backgrounds and abilities. The movement towards integrating children with disabilities into the regular classrooms started in the second half of the twentieth century. However, transgender students still face discrimination due to their gender and sexual identities. The Right to Education Act, 2009 guarantees universal education for all, and the Constitution of India mandates an inclusive society for all, including transgender persons. In recent years, the perception of the society towards transgender persons has changed, and transgender persons can lead a better quality of life if they have equal opportunities and access to social development services. Inclusive classrooms are important for trans, non-binary and Two-Spirit students, as they foster essential learning outcomes such as critical thinking and effective group work skills. This article will throw light on the identification of transgender students in schools, students are managing conflict situations in the schools, ensuring safety and security of transgender students in schools and some suggestive practices for teachers and school administrators
Irritable Bowel Syndrome: The Functional Medicine Approach
Get PDFIrritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a complex functional gastrointestinal disorder with limited success in pharmacological therapy. The functional medicine approach aims to identify the root causes and personalize diagnosis and treatment. IBS is a chronic disorder characterized by abdominal pain, altered bowel movements, and other gastrointestinal symptoms. Diagnosing the condition remains challenging due to the lack of specific biomarkers or tests, resulting in frequent misdiagnosis.
The pathogenesis of IBS involves factors such as altered gastrointestinal motility, visceral hypersensitivity, intestinal barrier disorder, stress, dietary factors, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), changes in intestinal flora, low-grade mucosal inflammation, and genetic predisposition. The biopsychosocial model highlights the interaction between physiological and psychological factors.
The management of IBS involves a multidimensional approach tailored to each patient. Pharmacological therapy aims to alleviate symptoms but does not cure the condition. Non-pharmacological therapies, including dietary interventions, probiotic therapy, mind therapies, exercise, and complementary therapies, play a crucial role in IBS management

Clinical decision-making theories
Get PDFClinical decision-making is a cornerstone of healthcare, influencing patient diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing care. This article explores the multifaceted nature of clinical decision-making, emphasizing its significance, challenges, and implications for modern healthcare. It delves into three primary decision-making theories: the rationalist approach, which prioritizes evidence-based decision-making; the phenomenological approach, focusing on intuition and experience; and the hypothetic-deductive approach, which seeks a balance between the previous two. These theories, while offering valuable perspectives, must be applied with consideration of the complex factors that influence decision-making, including competence, confidence, organizational support, and the clinical environment. Ultimately, clinical decision-making is both an art and a science, demanding a nuanced understanding to ensure patient-centered care and improved healthcare outcomes
Examining Academicians’ and Teachers’ Opinions on Designing Science Activities in Informal Settings
Get PDFThe main purpose of this study is to determine what teachers and academicians think about the process of designing and implementing science activities in informal settings and make suggestions as to how to teach more effectively in them. This study is a cross-sectional survey study and divided the teachers constituting the sample group into subgroups (sections), namely, those who had received training in teaching science in informal settings and those who had not. The current opinions of the academicians were also included in the research. A total of 338 people – 304 science teachers and 34 academicians – participated in this study. A questionnaire was used to collect the data for the research. When the research findings were examined, it was seen that neither teachers nor academicians have the desired levels of knowledge about planning and implementing science-teaching activities in informal settings. The fact that teachers do not have sufficient information on this subject can be interpreted as a reflection of the inadequacy of academicians and government instructors who train and support teachers
Philosophical aspects of application of information and communication technologies in contemporary continuous education of adults
Get PDFThe widespread use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in education has raised a number of philosophical questions regarding their role, impact and ethical implications. As technology becomes more integrated into our lives, it is increasingly important to understand the philosophical underpinnings that shape our relationship with it. In the field of education, the use of ICTs has the potential to transform teaching and learning, but also raises concerns about issues such as access, equity, privacy, and control. Philosophical inquiry into the use of ICTs in education can help to illuminate the values and assumptions that underpin different approaches, and can provide a critical lens for evaluating the benefits and drawbacks of different technological interventions. This essay will explore some of the key philosophical questions surrounding the use of ICTs in education, and will consider the implications of different philosophical approaches for the design and implementation of educational technology
The empirical analysis in determining the critical determinants of using technology in utilising online learning platforms for improving academic achievements using Anova analysis
Get PDFThe goal of this study is to identify and investigate the elements that may influence the levels of achievement and contentment experienced by students enrolled in online classes. There is a body of research that has already investigated the advantages and applications of online education. In the current dynamic environment, many people using online platforms, this presents a problem in and of itself. The purpose of this study is to gain a deeper understanding in determining the critical determinants of using technology in utilising online learning platforms for improving academic achievements.
In the past, some of the implementation issues that have been highlighted include a lack of trained lecturers, insufficient facilities, and students who are unprepared to use online learning platforms and Learning Management System (LMS) platforms as teaching tools. In addition, a dearth of trained lecturers has been identified as a challenge. The demand for it among students increased, and it is currently utilized by individuals all over the world as a result of its adaptable design and several helpful functions. There have, for a considerable amount of time, been concerns over the expansion of online learning environments at the expense of those that are more traditional
A Proposed model for Decongesting Correctional Facilities in Edo State
Get PDFThere are three correctional centers in Edo state: Oko, Ozalla, and Ubiaja are used as case studies in this study, which focuses on the challenges of decongesting the country’s jail system. The objective of the study was to develop a model to aid in ranking and recommending inmates based on an acquittal likelihood factor who should be fast-tracked for a speedy trial, bail, or relocation/recommendation for other correctional techniques or facilities within the Nigerian legal system; aside from the prison. The paper presents a model for a decision support system that incorporates three multi-criteria decision making systems, SAW, TOPSIS, and AHP, as well as six factors: those who are awaiting trial, detained, sentenced to life, condemned inmates, long-term offenders, and those who have received only a light sentence. While assigning weights to rank the prisoners, consider their dependency, age, gender, health status, and percentage of their sentence served. Experts, including two magistrates, ten prison wardens, five attorneys, ten convicts, six pastors, and nine NGO employees, engaged in a questionnaire poll to predetermine weights. The model offers the decision maker two different levels of guidance, namely (a) a beginner mode and (b) an expert mode. The beginner mode is intended for decision-makers who are not familiar with the multi-criteria process. The advanced mode is employed when the decision-maker is conversant with the MA method and can choose a particular method using the predefined weights
Adaptogenic plants within food supplement
Get PDFAdaptogenic plants have been recognized for their ability to enhance the body\u27s capacity to adapt and withstand various stressors. This article explores the concept of adaptogens and their role in promoting resilience, tolerance, and adaptation to stress. Plant adaptogens are preferred over synthetic alternatives due to their safety, ability to normalize body functions, and the complex combination of compounds they contain. These natural extracts work synergistically to provide health benefits, unlike isolated compounds. Adaptogens act on multiple levels, modulating immunity, endocrine function, neurotransmitters, and signaling pathways. They help maintain homeostasis and can be used to prevent and manage health disorders resulting from imbalances in the body. The modern lifestyle\u27s increasing prevalence of lifestyle disorders necessitates the consideration of adaptogenic food supplements. These supplements can prevent chronic diseases, improve quality of life, and counteract the declining ability of the body to combat stress. Taking adaptogens in the form of gummies offers distinct advantages, including convenience, compliance, and higher bioavailability. Gummies bypass the liver\u27s first-pass metabolism, ensuring the efficient absorption of active ingredients. As adaptogens are often used long-term, gummies provide a suitable and enjoyable means of incorporating these beneficial plant extracts into daily routines. Choosing high-quality brands is essential for optimal results
Impact of Physical Activity on Prostate Cancer Incidence
Get PDFProstate cancer is a leading cancer in men, with its incidence varying among different countries and ethnic groups. The introduction of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing has led to increased early detection rates, particularly in high Human Development Index (HDI) countries. Several extrinsic or modifiable factors have been implicated in the development of prostate cancer. Diet, including high meat and dairy consumption, alcohol intake, and dietary supplements, has shown inconsistent associations. Obesity has emerged as a significant risk factor for prostate cancer and can worsen prognosis and treatment outcomes. Conversely, consumption of fish and fish oil has been associated with a lower incidence and mortality rate of prostate cancer.
The relationship between physical activity and prostate cancer risk has been extensively studied, yielding mixed results. While physical activity has consistently shown protective effects against other cancers, its association with prostate cancer risk is less clear. Some studies suggest a potential benefit, particularly with vigorous physical activity, while others find no significant association. However, physical activity has demonstrated positive effects on survival rates and disease progression among men already diagnosed with prostate cancer
