Programs for college students with physical disabilities began in the immediate post-war period, as veterans with disabilities were the “vanguard” disability group in higher education. However, while veterans with physical disabilities were the beginning of the postsecondary disability field, the discipline currently focuses on students with many and varied disability types in both its research and practice.  This article presents a secondary analysis, which was part of a larger systematic review of the postsecondary disability literature. The present article focuses on studies including at least one participant with a physical disability.  In total eighty studies had at least one student with a physical disability.  Two of these studies were experimental and only one of these two met the criteria to be a randomized control trial. A minority of studies was composed solely of college students with physical disabilities.

This study investigated the nature of appropriate and inappropriate interaction behaviors between professors and college students who have physical disabilities. Thirty-eight students with physical disabilities, 74 college and university professors who had taught disabled students, and 17 professors who had not done so rated the frequency and appropriateness of a variety of interaction behaviors by both professors and students. Professors also rated their level of comfort with disabled and with non-disabled students and indicated how interested they were in teaching students with specific disabilities in the future. Results show that a) approximately 75% of professors in Montreal colleges and universities had taught disabled students, b) professors are more comfortable with able-bodied than with disabled students, and c) that professors who had taught disabled students are more comfortable with such students and more interested in teaching them in the future. Appropriate behaviors were found to be more common than inappropriate behaviors and student initiated behaviors were seen as more desirable than professor initiated ones. Nevertheless, disabled students rated most student initiated behaviors, but not professor initiated behaviors, as less appropriate than tile professors believed them to be. The implications of the findings for research and practice are discussed and concrete examples of appropriate behaviors by each group in frequently occurring interaction situations are provided.

Background/Objectives: The foundational ethical principles of yoga have not been of focus and not widely known. This study was to evaluate the yoga ethics that could reduce the level of stress in college students. Methods/Statisticalanalysis :A randomized control trial was conducted. One hundred participants were randomly assigned to control group and experiment group with a duration of three months intervention and one month follow-up. The outcome measures of stress level were assessed through Bio-Well instrument. A parametric independent sample t-test for the between-group analyses and paired sample t-test for within-group analysis compared the means of two groups. Findings: There was a statistically significant reduction in the stress after the intervention (p<0.001) and follow up (p=0.035) between the group comparisons. The within-group comparisons showed high reduced in the level of stress after the intervention (p<0.001) and follow-up (p<0.01). Novelty: The current study provides preliminary evidence that the practice of ethical principles of Yama and Niyama effectively reduces the stress and may improve psychological health and well-being. Keywords: Yoga ethics; Yama; Niyama; Stress; Psychological wellbeing; BioWell

Causality is an inextricable part of the educational process, as our understanding of what works in education depends on our ability to make causal attributions. Yet, the research and policy literature in education tends to define causality narrowly as the attribution of educational outcomes to intervention effects in a randomized control trial context. This reduction of the educational process to simple input – output relationships leaves important questions unattended about how change is produced in educational systems, and how observed results can be predicted based on the propensity toward change in the baseline settings of those systems. This paper considers these questions from a Complex Dynamical Systems perspective, and concludes that answers to them can qualify the findings from at least some experiments.

Skabies merupakan penyakit kulit oleh tungau Sarcoptes scabiei, penyakit ketiga paling sering di Indonesia. Pengobatan lini pertama yang direkomendasikan adalah krim permetrin 5% dan pengobatan lain menurut pusat pengendalian dan pencegahan penyakit, adalah ivermektin oral dengan dosis 200 mcg/kgBB, dua dosis 14 hari terpisah.Metode yang digunakan adalah systematc review dengan mengevaluasi artikel publikasi ilmiah dengan desain penelitian randomized control trial sesuai dengan kriteria inklusi, dengan intervensi pemberian permetrin dan pembanding ivermektin, dilakukan skrining menggunakan kriteria kelayakan. Hasil yang didapat, 3 jurnal mengenai efektivitas ivermektin dan permetrin yaitu, dosis tunggal ivermektin memberikan tingkat kesembuhan pada interval 2 minggu. Terapi dua aplikasi permetrin dengan interval satu minggu memiliki nilai yang efektif yang tinggi pada pasien. Empat jurnal menyatakan bahwa permetrin lebih unggul dalam penatalaksanaan skabies. Permetrin 5% topikal menunjukkan perbaikan lebih cepat pada minggu pertama follow up. Satu jurnal menyatakan bahwa aplikasi ivermektin sama efektifnya dengan dua aplikasi krim permetrin 2,5% follow-up 2 minggu. Setelah mengulangi pengobatan, ivermektin sama efektifnya dengan krim permetrin 2,5%. Simpulan pemberian keduanya dapat mengobati skabies. Aplikasi permetrin dua kali dengan interval satu minggu dinilai lebih efektif daripada ivermektin dosis tunggal dan pasien sembuh lebih awal. Dua dosis ivermektin sama efektifnya dengan aplikasi tunggal permetrin. Systematic Review: The Effectiveness of Therapy Comparison between Ivermectin with permetrin Therapy in Scabies TreatmentScabies, a skin disease caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei, is the third most common disease in Indonesia. The recommended first-line treatment is 5% permetrin cream and another treatment according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is oral ivermectin at a dose of 200 mcg/kg body weight, two doses 14 days apart. The method used is a systematic review with a randomized control trial research design in accordance with the inclusion criteria and screening using the eligibility criteria. The results obtained: 3 journals regarding the effectiveness of ivermectin and permetrin which stated that a single dose of ivermectin provided a cure rate at 2 week intervals, two applications of permetrin at one-week intervals have high effective values; 4 journals stated that topical 5% permetrin showed faster improvement in the first week of follow-up;  1 journal stated that ivermectin applications were as effective as two applications of 2.5% permetrin cream at 2 weeks follow-up. After repeating the treatment, ivermectin is as effective as 2.5% permetrin cream. The conclusion is that giving both can cure scabies. Twice application of permetrin at one-week intervals was considered more effective than single dose ivermectin and the patient recovered earlier. Two doses of ivermectin are as effective as a single application of permetrin.
