Djeca koja imaju teškoća u razvoju ujedno su i djeca s trajnim i doživotnim posebnim potrebama, a najviši stupanj, u pedagoškom smislu, povezivanja djece s teškoćama u razvoju i djece urednog razvoja jest upravo inkluzivno učenje tj. obrazovanje, drugim riječimainkluzija. Livazović, Alispahić i Terović (2015) navode da je potreba za pripadanjem društvu izuzetno izražena kod djece, a njihovom se socijalizacijom nastoji postići inkluzija u predškolske i školske ustanove kako bi na taj način prihvatili i usvojili osnovne socijalne vještine i potakli interakciju s ostalom djecom. Inkluzivni odgoj predstavlja u cijelosti jednak pristup kvalitetnom odgoju i obrazovanju za svu djecu. Takvim odgojem potiče se razvoj kompetentnosti za cjeloživotno učenje i usavršavanje te sudjelovanje u demokratskom i racionalnom društvu (Dostupno na https://bib.irb.hr.) Međutim autori Livazović, Alispahić i Terović (2015) navode da bez ravnopravnog i redovitog sudjelovanja obitelji u djetetovom razvoju i njegovom obrazovanju, inkluzivno učenje ne može se u potpunosti ostvariti. Poštivanje različitosti i poticanje kvalitetne inkluzivne prakse te nastavno okruženje za učenje koje odražavaju kulturnu pripadnost djece, preduvjeti su realizacije inkluzivnog odgoja i filozofije koja ga prati, a to je kontinuirani profesionalni razvoj i cjeloživotno usavršavanje odgojitelja i učitelja kao refleksivnog praktičara. (Dostupno na https://bib.irb.hr.) U vrtićkom kontekstu, kod poticanja razvoja socijalnih kompetencija djeteta bitne figure zasigurno prvo mjesto zauzimaju odgojitelji. Od stručnih osoba očekuje se uvažavanje različitosti između djece, kao i programi koji se kreiraju i provode prema potrebama djece u ranoj i predškolskoj dobi. U suradnji s ostalim stručnim timom (ponajprije edukacijskim rehabilitatorima), inkluzivni odgojitelji timski surađuju kako bi osigurali uvjete i individualno pristupili svakom djetetu.A clearly known fact, to start with, is the fact that children with developmental disabilities are in need for permanent care because of their special needs. The best educational way to connect with children with special needs is through inclusive education. Children with developmental disabilities have the need to be socially accepted. Through inclusive education in facilities such as pre-schools, primary schools and similar, the need for socialization is being meet through interaction with other students so that children with special needs could learn to accept differences and learn basic social skills. Inclusive upbringing and education means having the same approach to education and development for every child. This kind of education promotes the development of proper abilities for participating in a democratic society. On the other hand, inclusive education can´t be effective without the proper commitment of the family members as well as the teachers and educational staff. Lifelong learning and perfecting is highly important for educational staff and their ability to conduct inclusive education. As a precondition for the realization of inclusive education, educational members should be able to respect the differences and promote quality inclusive learning surroundings for every child individual. Social skills of children with special needs depend a huge deal on educators themselves. Their approach and ability to prepare and organize the arrival and stay of the child, are of big educational importance. It is expected from educators that they are considerate of the individual differences and that they create and maintain suitable programs that are various and adjusted for the needs of children. Inclusive educators, in association with other experts (educational rehabilitation experts), are trying to secure educational and healthy environments for every child, individually, so they could receive proper education

Universal Level dynamics of Complex Systems

. We study the evolution of the distribution of eigenvalues of a $N\times N$ matrix subject to a random perturbation drawn from (i) a generalized Gaussian ensemble (ii) a non-Gaussian ensemble with a measure variable under the change of basis. It turns out that, in the case (i), a redefinition of the parameter governing the evolution leads to a Fokker-Planck equation similar to the one obtained when the perturbation is taken from a standard Gaussian ensemble (with invariant measure). This equivalence can therefore help us to obtain the correlations for various physically-significant cases modeled by generalized Gaussian ensembles by using the already known correlations for standard Gaussian ensembles. For large $N$-values, our results for both cases (i) and (ii) are similar to those obtained for Wigner-Dyson gas as well as for the perturbation taken from a standard Gaussian ensemble. This seems to suggest the independence of evolution, in thermodynamic limit, from the nature of perturbation involved as well as the initial conditions and therefore universality of dynamics of the eigenvalues of complex systems.Comment: 11 Pages, Latex Fil

Alternative Technique for "Complex" Spectra Analysis

. The choice of a suitable random matrix model of a complex system is very sensitive to the nature of its complexity. The statistical spectral analysis of various complex systems requires, therefore, a thorough probing of a wide range of random matrix ensembles which is not an easy task. It is highly desirable, if possible, to identify a common mathematcal structure among all the ensembles and analyze it to gain information about the ensemble- properties. Our successful search in this direction leads to Calogero Hamiltonian, a one-dimensional quantum hamiltonian with inverse-square interaction, as the common base. This is because both, the eigenvalues of the ensembles, and, a general state of Calogero Hamiltonian, evolve in an analogous way for arbitrary initial conditions. The varying nature of the complexity is reflected in the different form of the evolution parameter in each case. A complete investigation of Calogero Hamiltonian can then help us in the spectral analysis of complex systems.Comment: 20 pages, No figures, Revised Version (Minor Changes

A Case of Problematic Diffusion

Sex determination techniques have diffused rapidly in India, and are being used to detect female fetuses and subsequently to abort them. This technology has spread rapidly because it imparts knowledge that is of great value within the Indian context, and because it fits in neatly with the modernization dynamic within India, which itself has enmeshed with traditional patriarchal institutions to oppress Indian women. More research needs to be done on ways to stem the adoption of problematic innovations.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/68396/2/10.1177_107554709401500301.pd

Search for jet extinction in the inclusive jet-pT spectrum from proton-proton collisions at s=8 TeV

Published by the American Physical Society under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License. Further distribution of this work must maintain attribution to the author(s) and the published articles title, journal citation, and DOI.The first search at the LHC for the extinction of QCD jet production is presented, using data collected with the CMS detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 10.7  fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The extinction model studied in this analysis is motivated by the search for signatures of strong gravity at the TeV scale (terascale gravity) and assumes the existence of string couplings in the strong-coupling limit. In this limit, the string model predicts the suppression of all high-transverse-momentum standard model processes, including jet production, beyond a certain energy scale. To test this prediction, the measured transverse-momentum spectrum is compared to the theoretical prediction of the standard model. No significant deficit of events is found at high transverse momentum. A 95% confidence level lower limit of 3.3 TeV is set on the extinction mass scale

GW190814: gravitational waves from the coalescence of a 23 solar mass black hole with a 2.6 solar mass compact object

We report the observation of a compact binary coalescence involving a 22.2–24.3 Me black hole and a compact object with a mass of 2.50–2.67 Me (all measurements quoted at the 90% credible level). The gravitational-wave signal, GW190814, was observed during LIGO’s and Virgo’s third observing run on 2019 August 14 at 21:10:39 UTC and has a signal-to-noise ratio of 25 in the three-detector network. The source was localized to 18.5 deg2 at a distance of - + 241 45 41 Mpc; no electromagnetic counterpart has been confirmed to date. The source has the most unequal mass ratio yet measured with gravitational waves, - + 0.112 0.009 0.008, and its secondary component is either the lightest black hole or the heaviest neutron star ever discovered in a double compact-object system. The dimensionless spin of the primary black hole is tightly constrained to �0.07. Tests of general relativity reveal no measurable deviations from the theory, and its prediction of higher-multipole emission is confirmed at high confidence. We estimate a merger rate density of 1–23 Gpc−3 yr−1 for the new class of binary coalescence sources that GW190814 represents. Astrophysical models predict that binaries with mass ratios similar to this event can form through several channels, but are unlikely to have formed in globular clusters. However, the combination of mass ratio, component masses, and the inferred merger rate for this event challenges all current models of the formation and mass distribution of compact-object binaries

Global, regional, and national age-sex-specific mortality and life expectancy, 1950–2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017

BACKGROUND: Assessments of age-specific mortality and life expectancy have been done by the UN Population Division, Department of Economics and Social Affairs (UNPOP), the United States Census Bureau, WHO, and as part of previous iterations of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD). Previous iterations of the GBD used population estimates from UNPOP, which were not derived in a way that was internally consistent with the estimates of the numbers of deaths in the GBD. The present iteration of the GBD, GBD 2017, improves on previous assessments and provides timely estimates of the mortality experience of populations globally. METHODS: The GBD uses all available data to produce estimates of mortality rates between 1950 and 2017 for 23 age groups, both sexes, and 918 locations, including 195 countries and territories and subnational locations for 16 countries. Data used include vital registration systems, sample registration systems, household surveys (complete birth histories, summary birth histories, sibling histories), censuses (summary birth histories, household deaths), and Demographic Surveillance Sites. In total, this analysis used 8259 data sources. Estimates of the probability of death between birth and the age of 5 years and between ages 15 and 60 years are generated and then input into a model life table system to produce complete life tables for all locations and years. Fatal discontinuities and mortality due to HIV/AIDS are analysed separately and then incorporated into the estimation. We analyse the relationship between age-specific mortality and development status using the Socio-demographic Index, a composite measure based on fertility under the age of 25 years, education, and income. There are four main methodological improvements in GBD 2017 compared with GBD 2016: 622 additional data sources have been incorporated; new estimates of population, generated by the GBD study, are used; statistical methods used in different components of the analysis have been further standardised and improved; and the analysis has been extended backwards in time by two decades to start in 1950. FINDINGS: Globally, 18·7% (95% uncertainty interval 18·4–19·0) of deaths were registered in 1950 and that proportion has been steadily increasing since, with 58·8% (58·2–59·3) of all deaths being registered in 2015. At the global level, between 1950 and 2017, life expectancy increased from 48·1 years (46·5–49·6) to 70·5 years (70·1–70·8) for men and from 52·9 years (51·7–54·0) to 75·6 years (75·3–75·9) for women. Despite this overall progress, there remains substantial variation in life expectancy at birth in 2017, which ranges from 49·1 years (46·5–51·7) for men in the Central African Republic to 87·6 years (86·9–88·1) among women in Singapore. The greatest progress across age groups was for children younger than 5 years; under-5 mortality dropped from 216·0 deaths (196·3–238·1) per 1000 livebirths in 1950 to 38·9 deaths (35·6–42·83) per 1000 livebirths in 2017, with huge reductions across countries. Nevertheless, there were still 5·4 million (5·2–5·6) deaths among children younger than 5 years in the world in 2017. Progress has been less pronounced and more variable for adults, especially for adult males, who had stagnant or increasing mortality rates in several countries. The gap between male and female life expectancy between 1950 and 2017, while relatively stable at the global level, shows distinctive patterns across super-regions and has consistently been the largest in central Europe, eastern Europe, and central Asia, and smallest in south Asia. Performance was also variable across countries and time in observed mortality rates compared with those expected on the basis of development. INTERPRETATION: This analysis of age-sex-specific mortality shows that there are remarkably complex patterns in population mortality across countries. The findings of this study highlight global successes, such as the large decline in under-5 mortality, which reflects significant local, national, and global commitment and investment over several decades. However, they also bring attention to mortality patterns that are a cause for concern, particularly among adult men and, to a lesser extent, women, whose mortality rates have stagnated in many countries over the time period of this study, and in some cases are increasing

Searches for electroweak neutralino and chargino production in channels with Higgs, Z, and W bosons in pp collisions at 8 TeV

Searches for supersymmetry (SUSY) are presented based on the electroweak pair production of neutralinos and charginos, leading to decay channels with Higgs, Z, and W bosons and undetected lightest SUSY particles (LSPs). The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of about 19.5 fb(-1) of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV collected in 2012 with the CMS detector at the LHC. The main emphasis is neutralino pair production in which each neutralino decays either to a Higgs boson (h) and an LSP or to a Z boson and an LSP, leading to hh, hZ, and ZZ states with missing transverse energy (E-T(miss)). A second aspect is chargino-neutralino pair production, leading to hW states with E-T(miss). The decays of a Higgs boson to a bottom-quark pair, to a photon pair, and to final states with leptons are considered in conjunction with hadronic and leptonic decay modes of the Z and W bosons. No evidence is found for supersymmetric particles, and 95% confidence level upper limits are evaluated for the respective pair production cross sections and for neutralino and chargino mass values
