This study has been carried out to understand the influence of leadership, diversity, and equality factors on inclusive practices in schools, especially in Indonesia. This study used a correlational research method with a questionnaire as the data collection technique. Questionnaires were distributed to 212 respondents living in West Java Province, Indonesia. The research was based on the theory of inclusion, equality, diversity, and leadership in teaching and learning. The data analysis, using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), revealed that female teachers had good knowledge and were found to be prospective teachers with better support for inclusive education. However, it has been established that variations exist regarding the way special education teachers and general teachers address practical leadership, diversity, and equality in an inclusive learning environment. Experienced teachers, in support of inclusive practices within education, were observed to understand their leadership style, perceptions regarding the equality of learners, and how they handle students’ diversity within a school enclosure. It has been concluded that the attitudes of both experienced and inexperienced teachers toward leadership, equality, and diversity influence the promotion of inclusive practices.","PeriodicalId":301862,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Membrane Science and Technology","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129052437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to define the data patterns for analysis. For data collection, we employed a Razor-IMU sensor and a WIFI transmitter, allowing testers to independently perform full-range knee motions. Data collection was categorized into two groups: healthy and unhealthy. Our goal was to categorize the data and establish criteria for pattern classification. Once the patterns and criteria were established, our objective was to validate movement models for both normal individuals and osteoarthritis patients. To achieve this, we conducted statistical hypothesis testing to verify the accuracy of the data. This testing comprised three main steps: first, evaluating the accuracy of data collection and data cleaning. Second, assessing the precision of converting data from linear to angular format, including degree coordinates selection. The last, Evaluating the accuracy of data sorting and grouping using Louvain clustering. The researcher thoroughly scrutinized each step to confirm the results. Each step demonstrated an accuracy test As Thailand transitions into an aging society, the prevalence of osteoarthritis is increasing due to the natural deterioration of the body. This deterioration can be decelerated by avoiding risky behaviors. Osteoarthritis significantly impacts patients' physical and mental well-being, making it a critical health concern. The objective of this research is to develop movement prototypes for both normal individuals and osteoarthritis patients by leveraging computer knowledge. This includes data collection with motion sensor devices, enhancing data quality using data mining techniques such as data cleaning and data transformation into suitable formats, and grouping of data. Additionally, the study seeks to validate the accuracy of the algorithm using statistical hypothesis testing methods and graph pattern detection. Based on the experimental results, an accuracy rate of 97% was achieved, demonstrating a high level of reliability. This prototype can be applied in treatment analysis, monitoring treatment outcomes, and even injury prevention. Furthermore, the dataset can serve as a model for the Thai population and can be expanded to accommodate larger datasets.","PeriodicalId":301862,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Membrane Science and Technology","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139348733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study utilizes a mixed methods approach to dissect and compare the educational policies, strategies, and initiatives implemented by these two prominent organizations. Central to this examination is the contrast between ALECSO’s region-specific strategies, which are intricately designed to resonate with the cultural, political, and social fabric of the Arab world, and UNESCO’s more globally oriented approach, which is characterized by its adherence to international standards and norms. One of the study's critical arguments is the varying effectiveness of regionally tailored strategies versus globally standardized approaches in addressing the unique educational needs and sustainability goals of the Arab region. This is particularly evident in the way ALECSO’s initiatives are closely aligned with local contexts, possibly offering more practical and culturally sensitive solutions. In contrast, UNESCO’s strategies, while globally comprehensive, might not fully address specific regional nuances. The research further critiques the impact and effectiveness of the programs initiated by both organizations. This aspect is crucial in highlighting the strengths and weaknesses inherent in their respective approaches to promoting sustainable development through education. The study identifies key areas where ALECSO and UNESCO have succeeded, as well as areas where improvements are necessary. This critical assessment provides a nuanced understanding of how each organization contributes to the development of sustainable educational practices within the Arab region. Emphasizing the significance of contextually relevant educational strategies, the study advocates for adaptive and collaborative policymaking. This approach is posited as essential for enhancing the efficacy of future educational strategies for sustainable development, particularly in regions with distinct cultural and socio-political contexts like the Arab world. The findings of this study have broader implications, contributing significantly to the discourse on sustainable development in education. By offering in-depth insights into the roles and contributions of ALECSO and UNESCO, the study underscores the importance of aligning educational strategies with regional needs while also considering global sustainability goals.","PeriodicalId":301862,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Membrane Science and Technology","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139348793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
