The existing research indicates that the teachers’ attitudes towards inclusion are inconsistent. The educationalists point out that these inconsistencies are due to differences among the attitudes of various types of educators toward students with disabilities. There are various types of educators like regular education teachers, special education teachers, administrators, and others and according to research each one's attitude is different when it comes to teaching students with disabilities.

In inclusive education, children with special needs (ABK) should get educational services together with normal children. However, inclusive education services that occur in Indonesia are still experiencing obstacles. Previous research has found that the problems are the lack of knowledge of teachers about children with special needs, the lack of teacher skills in dealing with children with special needs, and teachers' attitudes towards children with special needs. Current research intended to analyse the attitude of inclusive education teachers. The measurement of knowledge is developed by researchers using prior knowledge theory. In measuring teacher efficacy, we use the Teacher Efficacy for Inclusive Practices (TEIP) measurement. Teacher attitudes towards inclusive education was measured by the Multidimensional Attitudes Toward Inclusive Education Scale (MATIES). The participants were 60 teachers from state primary school, and incusive private primary school in Bogor Regency. Participants were recruited by convenience sampling technique. The research method uses correlational quantitative methods. The results showed that the knowledge and efficacy of teachers together did not provide a significant contribution to the attitude of teachers in inclusive education. Partially, knowledge about children with special needs has no effect on teachers' attitudes on inclusive education. However, independently, only teacher efficacy contributed significantly to teachers' attitudes regarding inclusive education. bersama dengan anak yang normal. Namun, pelayanan pendidikan inklusif yang terjadi di Indonesia masih mengalami hambatan. Penelitian terdahulu menemukan bahwa hambatan yang terjadi selama ini adalah kurangnya pengetahuan guru tentang anak berkebutuhan khusus, minimnya keterampilan guru dalam menangani ABK, dan sikap guru terhadap ABK yang dilihat masih memandang sebelah mata. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peran pengetahuan awal tentang ABK dan efikasi guru terhadap sikap guru pendidikan inklusif. Pengukuran pengetahuan dikembangkan oleh peneliti dengan menggunakan teori prior knowledge. Untuk pengukuran efikasi guru, digunakan alat ukur The Teacher Efficacy for Inclusive Practices (TEIP). Pengukuran sikap guru terhadap pendidikan inklusif menggunakan alat ukur The Multidimensional attitudes toward inclusive education scale (MATIES). Partisipan berjumlah 60 guru dari SDN dan SD Swasta Inklusi di Kabupaten Bogor, yang terpilih dengan teknik sampling convenience. Metode penelitian menggunakan metode kuantitatif korelasional. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan dan efikasi guru secara bersama-sama tidak memberikan sumbangan yang signifikan terhadap sikap guru pendidikan inklusif. Secara parsial, pengetahuan mengenai anak berkebutuhan khusus tidak memberikan pengaruh terhadap sikap guru pada pendidikan inklusi. Namun secara independen hanya efikasi guru yang memberikan sumbangan yang signifikan terhadap sikap guru mengenai pendidikan inklusif.

The retail market in Vietnam continues to grow with the entry of foreign retail brands and the strong rise of domestic businesses in expanding distribution networks and conquering consumer confidence. The appearance of more retail brands has created a fiercely competitive market. Based on the outcomes of previous research results on brand choice intention combined with a customer survey, the paper proposes an analytical framework and scales to examine the relationship of five elements including store image, price perception, risk perception, brand attitudes, brand awareness and retail brand choice intention with a case study of the Hanoi-based Circle K convenience store chain. These five elements are the precondition for retail businesses to develop their brands so as to attract customers.

Several studies have shown that the success of interregional cooperation may be influenced by coordination, commitment, participation, variance of cooperation, structure, format of cooperation, and political will. Nevertheless, these factors do not stand alone since actor relations as a determining aspect is capable of driving those factors effectively. This article aims to examine the aspect of actor relations as a contributing factor that determines successful cooperation among regions. This is a qualitative research with the policy of inter-regional cooperation of the Banjarbakula Program, South Kalimantan Province from February 2017 to February 2018, set as its object of study. The result of this study states that the success of inter-regional cooperation is influenced by the relationship of actors in development factors as suggested by previous experts. The actors involved in the inter-regional cooperation examined in this case had become triggers of coordination, commitment, and participation toward success and failure, as well as the effectiveness of regional cooperation policy. Structural obstacles, ego-centric character, minimum budget availability, and non-visionary planning could be overcome as long as actor relations were properly managed.

To investigate the relationship of MUC1, MUC5AC, and the syndrome of spleen and stomach, 109 subjects (34 peptic ulcer (PU), 62 chronic gastritis (CG), and 13 healthy volunteers (CON)) were included. All the subjects included were surveyed with questionnaire to classify them into damp-heat syndrome of spleen and stomach (DHSS), spleen-qi deficiency syndrome (SQD), and CON, examined by gastric endoscope, and biopsied. Rapid urease and methylene blue staining (MBS) were performed on every subject to diagnose for Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection, and both were defined as Hp-positive. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was performed on every specimen to explore the histomorphology, inflammatory degree, and inflammatory activity of different groups; then Elivision™ plus kit was used to test the expression of MUC1 and MUC5AC. All the results of digital images were reviewed by two experts blindly. The inflammatory degree with Hp infection was higher than those uninfected or CON, but no significant difference was found between DHSS and SQD. And the expressions of MUC5AC with positive Hp was higher than those with negative Hp or CON regardless of the deficiency and solid syndrome of spleen-stomach but not for MUC1. We speculate that the deficiency and solid syndrome of spleen-stomach is a condition like Tai Ji symbol of dynamic equilibrium, showing the higher expression of MUC5AC but no change of MUC1 in the circumstance of Hp infection.
