The expressive amount of people with disabilities makes the accessibilitytheme increasingly important. However, this relevancecontrasts with the significant inaccessibility in the world. On theweb this is no different, despite the existence of solid accessibilityguidelines, such as WCAG. The same thing happens in ComputerSecurity game interfaces, which can be used as pedagogical toolsfor teaching this area with increasing demand for professionals.Therefore, this paper aimed to analyze web interfaces of ComputerSecurity games, among them TreasureHunt, object of the authorsresearch work; thereby It was possible to identify which WCAGguidelines were followed in those interfaces and improve the accessibilityof TreasureHunt. For such, manual validations of theWCAG’s 87 accessibility guidelines in version 2.1 and drafts ofversion 2.2 were used, as well as automatic validations of HTML,CSS and accessibility. As a result, the TreasureHunt interface met78% of the accessibility guidelines and passed the three automaticvalidators, while the other tools had an average of approximately30% of the guidelines met and didn’t pass the HTML validator

Adaptive physical culture and adaptive sports are the sphere of life in which the most successful is the socialization of disabled people and people with disabilities, their integration into society, the development of rehabilitation potential - as a set of biological capabilities of social abilities and psychological aspirations, improving the quality of life (Evseev, & Shapkova, 2000). Given the opportunities available in sports for social rehabilitation and integration of people with disabilities, in recent years, almost all over the world are developing active efforts to organize and develop adaptive sports among people with disabilities (Evseev, & Shapkova, 2000). In many developed countries, comprehensive programs of physical culture and sports work among the disabled, including children (Dmitriev, 2002).Comprehensive rehabilitation - as a process of ensuring the readiness of a person with health and disability to implement a lifestyle that would not contradict the lifestyle of healthy (normally developing) people requires the mandatory use of exercise adapted to a specific disease or defect of motor activity. Physical rehabilitation is the basis, the basis of any type of rehabilitation (social-labor, social-domestic, socio-cultural, etc.). This is due to the fact that man is indivisible biological, psychological and social, which are in the closest relationship and interaction. Human motor activity is embedded in genes and is associated with a fundamental property of a living organism - biological adaptation to living conditions and living conditions. However, modern living and working conditions have reduced to almost zero all human physical activity, created a situation of unclaimed physical condition.Hypodynamia and hypokinesia are indispensable attributes of modern civilized life have become one of the main factors causing the deterioration of public health. Reducing the volume and intensity of physical activity, low costs of muscular work, simplification and impoverishment of human motor activity leads to negative results in the functioning of both internal organs and systems of man and his psyche. And if a healthy person reduces his physical activity to an unacceptable level, then only he is to blame.The responsibility for forced hypodynamics and hypokinesia of children with disabilities, whose natural physical activity is limited and they need targeted assistance and special conditions, rests entirely with parents, doctors and other professionals, including adaptive physical education. The problem here is that in the mass consciousness and even among specialists (physicians, psychologists, representatives of traditional physical culture, etc.) the idea of the need for mandatory restriction of movement, motor activity in almost any disease, stereotypes of faith only in pharmacological and other medical means and methods of treatment and prevention, in omnipotent additives, stimulants, activators, fat burners, etc. This is due, on the one hand, the insufficient level of culture of society and the individual in the field of anthropology, its physicality and psyche, and on the other - the massive advertising campaigns of manufacturers of these goods.The scientific and medical literature examines in detail the other negative changes that occur in the human body due to hypodynamics and hypokinesia, from the cellular to the body level, describes in detail the so-called motorvisceral reflexes and other mechanisms of disease, the main cause of which there is immobility.Being one of the most important factors of the educational and cultural process, adaptive physical culture is a universal means of humanization, as it realizes the reproduction of human personality as a whole in its physical and spiritual unity. In the process of adaptive physical culture a person not only socializes and is formed (strengthens and improves residual health, corrects its defects, develops compensation mechanisms, learns certain social roles, functions, etc.), but also “forms and creates the world”, forms and “conquers” the social space - first self-determined, creates its own understanding, vision, sense of the world, designs and builds its own activities, social environment. Thus, adaptive physical culture and, especially adaptive sports, are important factors in the socialization of people with disabilities and people with disabilities, their integration into society. However, these factors, which are always realized, their use lags behind both the needs and the possibilities of today.

Wood is most preferred structural material throughout the world and is considered as a complex biological composite with ubiquitous nature. Throughout the world there is an immense pressure on primary durable timbers due to their ever increasing demand. To reduce pressure on the primary species like; Teak, Sal and Deodar etc. one has to look for the other lesser known or secondary species as an alternative. Durability of these species can be enhanced with application of different preservatives and for this one of the best approach is to use herbal based ecofriendly preservatives rather than hazardous chemicals. In this study, the antifungal activity of Acorus calamus rhizome extract was tested on less durable local wood species. The results showed that average growth of Polyporus fungus on taken wood samples were retarded up to 69.44% after applying 2% concentration of rhizome extract and act as suitable bio-preservative for non durable wood species.

Disability affects the lives of hundreds of millions across the world. People with disabilities often experience discrimination and unequal treatment. Sometimes the mere categorization of people into groups, that is, ‘healthy’ vs. ‘disabled’, is enough to trigger discriminatory behaviour against people with disabilities. Previous studies show that in general disabilities depress political participation. However, the effect of disability-based discrimination on participation has received little scholarly attention. We study how perceptions of discrimination affect three forms of political participation: voting; contacting politicians; and participating in demonstrations. Results show that disability decreases voting, especially when associated with perceptions of discrimination. The analysis points in the opposite direction when the other two forms of political participation are analysed. People with disabilities are more likely to partake in demonstrations and contact politicians than non-disabled. Thus, disability-based discrimination is not always a hindrance to participation. It sometimes further motivates people with disabilities to participate.

This chapter presents that the case for a Comprehensive Disability Rights Convention (CRPD) was accepted because it was realized that the United Nations Human Rights Conventions, before the CRPD, did not look at disability rights from the perspective of people with disabilities. CRPD, on the other hand, was totally informed by the participation credo of nothing about us without us. Thus, the chapter sets up a comparison between the CRPD Treaty Body and the other human rights monitoring bodies to assess whether the various monitoring bodies undertake their oversight tasks in harmony with each other. Is their institutional integrity in the manner in which the world body seeks accountability from states or inadvertently or otherwise the states have been provided pick and choose space between various human rights bodies of the United Nations?

In recent years, there has been increasing demand for higher voltage SEMs, in the field of surface observation, especially that of magnetic domains, dislocations, and electron channeling patterns by backscattered electron microscopy. On the other hand, the resolution of the CTEM has now reached 1 ∼ 2Å, and several reports have recently been made on the observation of atom images, indicating that the ultimate goal of morphological observation has beem nearly achieved.

One of the top reasons given for use of the internet is the ability to search for health information. However, much of the planning for web-based health information often fails to consider accessibility issues. If health care organizations and community agencies’ web sites have the latest, most wellresearched information on the health topics of the day, it is useless to those who cannot access it because of invisible technological barriers. Many flashy, high-tech sites were designed only to appeal to the needs of the mainstream population, with no consideration given to how people with disabilities must adapt their use of the web in order to access information. This article addresses issues of access specific to web site development, and will explore barriers to accessibility frequently experienced by web users with disabilities, requirements for ADA compliance, and how people with disabilities use the web. Web site accessibility guidelines, as well as simple evaluation tools, will be discussed. A thorough review of the article will enable even the least tech-savvy of health educators to enhance their skills in planning and evaluating web sites to promote access for people with disabilities.

There are two most inevitable issues on national literature, in this case Indonesian literature. First is the translation and the second is the standard of world literature. Can one speak for the other as a representative? Why is this representation matter? Does translation embody the voice of the represented? Without translation Indonesian literature cannot gain its recognition in world literature, yet, translation conveys the voice of other. In the case of production, publication, or distribution of Indonesian Literature to the world, translation works can be very beneficial. The position of Indonesian literature is as a part of world literature. The concept that the Western world should be the one who represent the subaltern can be overcome as long as the subaltern performs as the active speaker. If the subaltern remains silent then it means it allows the “representation” by the Western.

The main objective of this study is the substantiation of experiment as one of the key features of the world music in Ukraine. Based on the creative works of the brightest world music representatives in Ukraine, «Dakha Brakha» band, the experiment is regarded as a kind of creative setting. Methodology and scientific approaches. The methodology was based on the music practice theory by T. Cherednychenko. The author distinguishes four binary oppositions, which can describe the musical practice. According to one of these oppositions («observance of the canon or violation of the canon»), the musical practices, to which the Ukrainian musicology usually classifies the world music («folk music» and «minstrel music»), are compared with the creative work of «Dakha Brakha» band. Study findings. A lack of the setting to experiment in the musical practices of the «folk music» and «minstrel music» separates the world music musical practice from them. Therefore, the world music is a separate type of musical practice in which the experiment is crucial. The study analyzed several scientific articles of Ukrainian musicologists on the world music; examined the history of the Ukrainian «Dakha Brakha» band; presented a list of the folk songs used in the fifth album «The Road» by «Dakha Brakha» band; and showed the degree of the source transformation by musicians based on the example of the «Monk» song. The study findings can be used to form a comprehensive understanding of the world music musical practice. The further studies may be related to clarification of the other parameters of the world music musical practice, and to determination of the experiment role in creative works of the other world music representatives, both Ukrainian and foreign. The practical study value is the ability to use its key provisions in the course of modern music in higher artistic schools of Ukraine. Originality / value. So far, the Ukrainian musicology did not consider the experiment role as the key one in the world music.

The paper celebrates the publication of Ranjan Ghosh and J. Hillis Miller's Thinking Literature across Continents as a significant event in the age of neoliberalism. It argues that, in spite of the different premises and the resulting interpretative procedures respectively championed by the two co-authors, both of them anchor their readings of literary texts in a concept of literature that is diametrically opposed to neoliberal rationality, and both impassionedly safeguard human values and experiences that resist the technologisation and marketisation of the humanities and aesthetic education. While Ghosh's readings of literature offer lightning flashes of thought from the outside of the Western tradition, signalling a new culture of reading as well as a new manner of appreciation of the other, Miller dedicatedly speaks and thinks against the hegemony of neoliberal reason, opening our eyes to the kind of change our teaching or reading of literature can trigger in the world, and the role aesthetic education should and can play at a time when the humanities are considered ‘a lost cause’.

Most studies of Simone de Beauvoir situate her with respect to Hegel and the tradition of 20th-century phenomenology begun by Husserl, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty. This book analyzes The Second Sex in light of the concepts of becoming, problematization, and the Other found in Gilles Deleuze. Reading Beauvoir through a Deleuzian lens allows more emphasis to be placed on Beauvoir's early interest in Bergson and Leibniz, and on the individuation of consciousness, a puzzle of continuing interest to both phenomenologists and Deleuzians. By engaging with the philosophical issues in her novels and student diaries, this book rethinks Beauvoir’s focus on recognition in The Second Sex in terms of women’s struggle to individuate themselves despite sexist forms of representation. It shows how specific forms of women’s “lived experience” can be understood as the result of habits conforming to and resisting this sexist “sense.” Later feminists put forward important criticisms regarding Beauvoir’s claims not to be a philosopher, as well as the value of sexual difference and the supposedly Eurocentric universalism of her thought. Deleuzians, on the other hand, might well object to her ideas about recognition. This book attempts to address those criticisms, while challenging the historicist assumptions behind many efforts to establish Beauvoir’s significance as a philosopher and feminist thinker. As a result, readers can establish a productive relationship between Beauvoir’s “problems” and those of women around the world who read her work under very different circumstances.
