Is College Liberating For All Students? The Impact Of Sensory Challenges On Participation Of Students On The Autism Spectrum And With Other Neurodivergent Diagnoses, Sophia Starvaggi, Mary Smith Otr/L, Phd

Spring 2023 Virtual OTD Capstone Symposium

Neurodiversity describes unique ways in which an individual's brain works, impacting skills such as executive function, social interaction, communication, and sensory processing. Sensory processing describes the system which receives, processes, organizes, and responds to sensory information received in several environments throughout the day. Sensory sensitivity involves both over- and under-responsiveness to sensory information received, both causing an impact on one’s participation. An occupational area that seems to lack support for sensory challenges is that of postsecondary, or college, settings.

Several policies exist to protect the right to equal education for students with disabilities, however, these protections only last until students …

Training In Agricultural Higher Education Institutions Of Some Sulfur-Containing Pesticide Preparations And Their Production, Impact On The Environment (Ecology), Sadriddin Nasriddinovich Khodjibekov

Mental Enlightenment Scientific-Methodological Journal

The protection of plants and agricultural products from various diseases and pests with the help of chemicals is devoted in this article. To date, it is necessary to create new drugs that meet modern requirements both in terms of efficiency and safety for humans and the environment. About the need for chemical compounds of fungicide, herbicides, defoliants, insecticides and acaricides that protect crops and products from pests, diseases caused by fungi, bacteria and viruses, and also play an important role in plant growth and increasing yields. And in this, chemists will have to strengthen the teaching of the subject of …

Changes In The Conchological Characteristics Of The Helix Lucorum Species (Gastropoda, Pulmonata) Distributed In The Fergana Valley, Аbduvaxid Pazilov, Farrux Umarov

Bulletin of Gulistan State University

This article observed the conchological variability of two different types of Helix lucorum biotopes, considered adventitious for Fergana Valley, and makes a comparative analysis with types of their origin. The research material was the shells of H.lucorum type which collected from the southern slopes of Teshiktash hills and plains to the west of the Maylisoy River. For the first time, a locality of this types of shells were discovered in the area of the Maylisoy River. Changes of shells of H.lucorum, distributed over two biotopes, were caused by environmental factors. It was found the types of mollusks of H.lucorum population …

Global Competence: Determination Of Its Importance For Engineers Working In A Global Environment, Gregg M. Warnick

Department of Educational Administration: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

We live and work in a world that is even more interconnected and interdependent than ever before. Engineers must now not only develop technical engineering competence, but must also develop additional skills and competencies including global competence to obtain success within a global engineering environment.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether multinational companies considered global competence an important skill in mechanical engineering graduates when making hiring decisions. The study was an exploratory study that utilized an extensive literature review to identify eight global competencies for engineering success within a global environment and also included a survey instrument …

The Impact Of Individual Decision Making On Campus Sustainability Initiatives, Aurali Ella Dade

UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) have increasingly committed to become more sustainable in recent years. Despite this commitment, academic publications in the sustainability field assert that progress has been slower at IHEs than expected and that most IHEs have found sustainability initiatives difficult to implement. Comprehensive sustainability initiatives require cooperation from a broad set of constituents with diverse and sometimes conflicting goals. Creating a sustainable IHE also requires changes in both physical infrastructure and individual behavior. Any number of institutional factors can advance or limit progress towards these objectives.

Previous investigations have assessed individual case studies, compared IHEs in a …
