    Effectiveness of Inclusive Design for Children with Disabilities in Nigerian Education Buildings

    Full text link
    The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) report that twenty million Nigerian children lack access to basic school education. This is due to inadequate support for children with unique educational needs and impairments in primary school buildings.  This study aims to assess how inclusive design ideas have been applied in Abuja public primary school buildings to accommodate children with unusual academic needs, including disabilities, in Nigeria. A descriptive study design with a survey technique was employed as the methodology. A standardised questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale was used to collect information and was delivered to a sample size of 133 people. According to the data, physically challenged pupils and older staff were more concerned with the proportions of overall desires and security, skills, and perception. Additionally, no ramps were installed in the school buildings, prohibiting disabled students from moving vertically, and students with impairments have difficulty reaching areas of conveniences. These findings indicate that inclusive design ideas have not been included into the architectural designs of Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) community primary academic buildings. The findings suggest the need for strong legislation to create an inclusive design special unit to ensure all architectural designs meet FCTA institutional standards for primary school building deliver

    Full text link
    Dadih contains lactic acid bacteria that are antimicrobial so that it can be utilized to maintain the health of poultry such as native chickens. This study aims to prove the ability of dadih to suppress the growth of pathogenic bacteria, namely Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella. This study will also try to find out invivo effect of dadih on the organ immunity of native chicken infected with Salmonella. Antimicrobial research uses disc diffusion method with antimicrobial zone parameter. The invivo study was conducted using a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and five replications where the parameter was the development of immunity organs namely thymus, bursa fabrisius and spleen. The results showed that the antimicrobial test of dadih against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella caused a zone of inhibition of 7.84, 6.63 and 8.34 mm. Dadih treatment significantly affected the percentage of thymus, bursa fabrisius and spleen. As conclusion that dadih is able to suppress the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella at medium strength with a range of inhibition zone between 6.63-8.34.  Dadih is also able to maintain the health of native chicken

    Stunting is a health disorder that affects the growth and development of children caused by chronic nutrition and impacts cognitive and motor development. Other factors, such as the social and economic environment, can cause stunting. Medan City also has many stunting cases, which is caused by a lack of public understanding of the phenomenon. This research used a descriptive qualitative research method with a literature review approach. Data collection techniques through secondary data in the form of previous research, online media, and journals. Data analysis techniques using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that the efforts made by the Medan City government, such as nutritional interventions to conduct socialization in the community, still need to be improved. This is due to cultural perceptions that stunting is not a severe disease but is caused by several factors, such as genetics, misconceptions, and religion

    Revenue Management Strategies in Airline Industry: A Literature Review

    Full text link
    The airline industry has rapidly evolved, fostering intense competition among companies. This competition drives airlines to formulate strategies for revenue maximization, giving rise to Revenue Management. This literature review spans the past 13 years, examining the development of Airline Revenue Management methods. By analyzing 22 journals with at least Q2 and SINTA 2 indexing, three primary scopes emerge: Quantity Decision, Pricing Decision, and Structural Decision. Airlines predominantly employ dynamic pricing and programming to optimize revenue by adapting to ongoing changes. The development trend in Airline Revenue Management indicates a shift towards faster and more accurate processing through increased integration with simulation and algorithm programming. This paper identifies the three main scopes involved in revenue management strategies and explores the diverse approaches airlines take to optimize income. Notably, dynamic pricing and programming remain prevalent methods, adapting to changing decision variables. The evolving landscape emphasizes integration with advanced technology for efficient processing. The study utilizes numerical and case studies to exemplify the ongoing development of Airline Revenue Management methods within this dynamic industry
