Effect Size Test of Learning Model ARIAS and PBL: Concept Mastery of Temperature and Heat on Senior High School Students

The study aims to find out first, whether there is a difference between the learning model of Assurance, Relevance, Interest, Assessment, and Satisfaction (ARIAS) and Problem Based Learning (PBL) on the concept mastery of temperature and heat. Second, it also aims to investigate the effectiveness of ARIAS and PBL learning model on the concept mastery of temperature and heat. The study uses Quasi-Experiment method with Nonequivalent Control Group Design, and sample selection with Cluster Random Sampling technique. This technique consists of two classes, i.e., experimental class I applying ARIAS learning model and experimental class II applying PBL model. The technique of data collection uses test instruments (pretest and posttest). The result of t test with 5% significant level indicates that t calculate = 2.03 > t table = 1.99, thus, it is concluded that (1) there is a difference using the learning model of ARIAS and PBL on concept mastery. The result of Effect Size test is a score of 0.45 with the medium category. Based on the result, it can be concluded that (2) using the learning model of ARIAS is more effective than PBL on the concept mastery of temperature and heat in high school students.
Factors Affecting Implementation of Community Projects: Case of Kimira-Oluch Smallholder Farm Improvement Project in Homa Bay County, Kenya

This paper assessed the factors affecting implementation of community projects At Kimira - Oluch Smallhaolder Farm Improvement Project (KOSFIP) in Homa Bay County, Kenya. Study objectives included assess the factors causing delay in implementation of KOSFIP project; assess the factors causing escalation of costs in implementing KOSFIP project assess the attitude of the community towards KOSFIP project; and assess the effect of community leadership on implementation of KOSFIP project. A case study research design was used to collect data from 3,000 households in the project's area of coverage. The study established that: natural occurrences such as floods and daily coordination of activities were major causes of delay as supported by 57.9% and 56.2% of the respondents respectively. Similarly, demand for compensation and resettlement, mitigation of floods and inflationary fluctuations were the major factors of cost escalation as supported by 59.6%, 49.7% and 57.5% of the respondents respectively. However, there was minimal interference with project implementation from the community as 93.7% of the respondents felt that community members were not a hindering factor. Finally, there was a weak positive linear relationship between local leaders support for implementation of KOSFIP project and their strong belief in handouts as shown by R = 0.421 and reduction in variations of R 2 = 17.8% in implementation of KOSFIP project can be explained by local leaders belief in handouts. Further, the value of t = 5.168 and 6.319 indicates that there was a strong significant positive effect on implementation of KOSFIP project by leaders' belief in handouts. The study is useful to project planners, stakeholders and financiers who are in need of relevant information on factors affecting project implementation. It will also be useful to researchers and scholars who wish to generate more knowledge or fill gaps on implementation of community projects.
Results of the application of the technology of genetic improvement of Simmental cattle population in Serbia

Results of production traits obtained from first calving cows and evaluation of the breeding value of bull sires of Simmental breed in Serbia. Data was analyzed using the method of least squares and for evaluation of bulls' breeding value mixed model of random sire effect (BLUP method). Based on obtained results it was established in statistical analysis that breeding region had highly significantly affected (P<0.01) the deviation of production traits from the general average. Considerable deviation from the general average was caused by the year and season of calving (P<0.05), and interaction of breeding region and calving season contributed to high variation in yield of milk and milk fat (P<0.01).
Regimes of thermocapillary migration of droplets under partial wetting conditions

We study the thermocapillary migration of two-dimensional droplets of partially wetting liquids on a non-uniform heated substrate. An equation for the thickness profile of the droplet is derived by employing lubrication approximations. The model includes the effect of a non-zero contact angle introduced through a disjoining–conjoining pressure term. Instead of assuming a fixed shape for the droplet, as in previous works, here we allow the droplet to change its profile with time. We identify and describe three different regimes of behaviour. For small contact angles, the droplet spreads into a long film profile with a capillary ridge near the leading edge, a behaviour that resembles the experiments on Marangoni films reported by Ludviksson & Lightfoot (Am. Inst. Chem. Eng. J., vol. 17, 1971, pp. 1166). For large contact angles, the droplet moves as a single entity, weakly distorted from its static shape. This regime is the usual one reported in experiments on thermocapillary migration of droplets. We also show some intriguing morphologies that appear in the transition between these two regimes. The occurrence of these three regimes and their dependence on various parameters is analysed.
Why was the participation of Indian states in the Growth Turnaround so patchy? Some evidence based on robustness analysis

In Ghate & Wright Journal of Development Economics, vol. 99 (2012) pp 58â€“67, it was noted that there was considerable variation in the extent to which different Indian states participated in the Great Indian Growth Turnaround. In this paper it is investigated whether there was any systematic relationship between participation in the turnaround and the characteristics of Indian states, using the robustness approach originally proposed by Sali-i-Martin (1997).

Seasonal variation in the anti-nutrient and mineral components of some forage legumes and grasses

This study was conducted in Nsukka, Nigeria to evaluate the effect of season of harvest (rain and dry) on the anti-nutrient and mineral components of four herbaceous legumes ( Calapogonium mucunoides, Centrosema pubescens, Stylosanthes guyanensis and Pueraria phaseoloides ) and four forage grasses (Panicum maximum, Pennisetum purpureum, Cynodon nlemfuensis and Andropogon gayanus). The grasses were analyzed separately from the legumes. A 2 × 4 factorial arrangement laid out in completely randomized design (CRD) was used. Species, season and their interaction significantly (P < 0.05) influenced the anti-nutrient and mineral concentrations in the forage grasses and legumes. The alkaloid, hydrogen cyanide (HCN), oxalate, phytate, saponin, tannin, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) contents of the grasses and legumes were significantly (P < 0.05) higher during the rainy than in the dry season. The concentrations of N, P and K varied significantly (P<0.05) among the legumes and between the grass species. C. mucunoides harvested during the rainy season significantly yielded higher percentage N compared with other legumes while P. phaseoloides harvested during the rainy season which had higher concentration of K than other legumes in any season. P. maximum harvested during the rainy season significantly produced higher N content compared with other grasses in any season while P. purpureum harvested in the rainy season significantly gave higher percentage of K and P compared with other grass species in any season.

The Scarring Effects of Recessions : Over-education and Macroeconomic Conditions at Graduation

This paper measures the impact of macroeconomic conditions on the education mismatch of workers in Germany. State-level unemployment rates from 1994-2012 are used as a measure of economic conditions and mismatch is quantified in terms of overeducation by both industry and occupation. Unfavorable economic conditions at the time of graduation significantly increase the probability that workers are overeducated in future jobs. IV estimates which account for potential endogeneity in graduation timing show that a single percentage point increase in state-level unemployment causes an increase in the probability of overeducation between 1.5 and 1.8% for university graduates. Impacts for graduates of more technical tertiary education programs and apprenticeships are much smaller. Labour market entry conditions appear to affect workers up to 18 years after graduation. * Business School and Centre for European Labour Market Research (CELMR), University of Aberdeen.

Sound detection in situ by the larvae of a coral-reef damselfish (Pomacentridae)

Settlement-stage pelagic larvae of the coral-reef damselfish Chromis atripectoralis consistently swam to the south at 24 to 25 cm s -1 in day-time ambient conditions off Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef. This was true on both the windward and leeward sides of the island, 100 to 1000 m from the nearest reef. Larvae released during the day 25 to 100 (mean 58) m from an underwater speaker broadcasting nocturnal reef sounds had no overall swimming direction. This was true on both windward and leeward sides of the island, 500 to 1000 m from the nearest reef. The broadcast sounds resulted in an alteration of behavior indicating that the larvae heard them. In the presence of the nocturnal reef sounds, swimming speed increased about 5 cm s -1 off the leeward side but not the windward side. Larvae released 50 to 150 (mean 78) m from a speaker broadcasting artificial sound (pure tones) at the leeward location swam to the south at 30 cm s -1 , This shows that larvae of C. atripectoralis can distinguish between, a sound with potential biological significance and one devoid of biological significance. Larvae did not swim in any particular direction relative to the speaker when nocturnal reef sounds were broadcast; therefore, we have no evidence that the larvae can localize these sounds. We conclude that settlement-stage larvae of this damselfish can hear reef sounds, and can distinguish between reef sounds and an artificial sound, but we have no indication that they can localize the sound. We speculate on the reasons for altered swimming behavior in the presence of reef sounds.
Fusion or non fusion of coral fragments in Acropora

Corals inhabit high energy environments where frequent disturbances result in physical damage to coralla, including fragmentation, as well as generating and mobilizing large sediment clasts. The branching growth form common in the Acropora genus makes it particularly susceptible to such disturbances and therefore useful for study of the fate of large sediment clasts. Living Acropora samples with natural, extraneous, broken coral branches incorporated on their living surface and dead Acropora skeletons containing embedded clasts of isolated branch sections of Acropora were observed and/or collected from the reef flat of Heron Reef, southern Great Barrier Reef and Bargara, Australia respectively. Here we report three different outcomes when pebble-sized coral branches became lodged on living coral colonies during sedimentation events in natural settings in Acropora: 1) Where live coral branches produced during a disturbance event come to rest on probable genetic clone-mate colonies they become rapidly stabilised leading to complete soft tissue and skeletal fusion; 2) Where the branch and underlying colony are not clone-mates, but may still be the same or similar species, the branches still may be stabilised rapidly by soft tissue, but then one species will overgrow the other; and 3) Where branches represent dead skeletal debris, they are treated like any foreign clast and are surrounded by clypeotheca and incorporated into the corallum by overgrowth. The retention of branch fragments on colonies in high energy reef flat settings may suggest an active role of coral polyps to recognise and fuse with each other. Also, in all cases the healing of disturbed tissue and subsequent skeletal growth is an adaptation important for protecting colonies from invasion by parasites and other benthos following disturbance events and may also serve to increase corallum strength. Knowledge of such adaptations is important in studies of coral behaviour during periods of environmental stress.
A THIRD WAY: ONLINE LABS INTEGRATED WITH PRINT MATERIALS

Abstract: The use of ICT in language education to enhance classroom-based instruction is examined in reference to blended learning. A blended model of integrating technological advances via an online lab with a face-to-face classroom environment is presented. The example of this operating in practice is iZone, a four-level print-digital series designed with the online component called MyiZoneLab at its heart, forming a cohesive and inseparable whole with its accompanying texts. Overcoming the limitations of classroom-only instruction is a particular strength of advances in computer technology. Delivering a unified body of content through different mediums is in effect a third way, neither just online nor simply in class, and this newer model has the capability to fully exploit and reinforce the advantages of each separate medium. Online access via a web browser may make good on the promise of studying whenever the learner desires, wherever they happen to be. To this movement towards flexibility in time and place is added a further ingredient, that of choice in self-study or learning with others, and of matching the time the individual spends on tasks to their needs. Integration and inseparability are inherent in this blended model, unleashing the potentiality of technological developments in language education while seeking to transcend the either online or face-to-face learning dichotomy.

Proximate and mineral analysis of Atlantic salmon (Salmo Salar) cultivated in Bulgaria

Problem statement: Only limited information exists on nutrients in salmonoids meat in Bulgaria, which may to be different and vary to a greater extent than the nutrient composition of other fish items. The present paper is aimed to determine the proximate composition, macro and trace elements of Atlantic salmons meat. These data could be helpful in judging the value of nutrient composition data as a base for dietary recommendations. Organisms: 12 species of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Approach: The aim of this study was to determine the proximate composition and levels of iron, potassium, sodium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, selenium and zinc in Atlantic salmon cultivated for the first time in Bulgaria. The content of protein, fat and ash and concentrations of iron, potassium, sodium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, selenium and zinc were determined by automatic systems and electro thermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) after microwave digestion. Mean values and their respective coefficients of variation were calculated from the measured concentrations. Conclusion: In order to provide an accurate overview and to be able to calculate reliable dietary intakes, it is important to know the fish composition data.

Stability of Grazing Systems: An Application of Predator-Prey Graphs

In a now classical paper, Rosenzweig & MacArthur (1963) have shown how the general stability properties of simple predator-prey systems can be studied by graphical techniques, supplemented by mathematical analysis of the behaviour near equilibrium points. A similar, graphical analysis of predation functions was suggested by Holling (1965). The stability analysis of predator and prey isoclines in the predator-prey 'phase diagram' has been discussed further by MacArthur & Connell (1966) and Rosenzweig (1969, 1971). The mathematical and graphical analysis of stability in predator-prey systems, and even three-trophic-levels systems, have been extended by Canale (1970), Rosenzweig (1973), Hubbell (1973), May (1971, 1972), Vandermeer (1973), Strebel & Goel (1973) and Maynard Smith & Slatkin (1973). Thus a considerable body of theory has been developed to deal with systems of populations at two or more trophic levels, or 'exploitation' systems (Rosenzweig 1973). So far only few attempts (Salt 1967; Maly 1969; McAllister, Le Brasseur & Parsons 1972) have been made to apply this theory to real ecological systems, whether by directing experiments or observations to test it, or even by comparing its predictions with existing data. Partly this slowness in application may have been due to the feeling that these theoretical models are still too simplified to be expected to apply directly to the manyspecies, variable-environment and spatially heterogeneous predator-prey systems found in nature. However, as pointed out by Rosenzweig (1973), scientific theory often starts by testing rather simple models, even of complex systems. Grazing systems used and controlled by man, from intensive pastures to extensive range, may be considered as a special case of'predator-prey' systems. Much of the theory was developed with explicit or implicit reference to two animal populations (e.g. Rosenzweig & MacArthur 1963; Holling 1965). But herbivore ('predator')-plant ('prey') interaction is sufficiently similar in its general features to make the same approach useful. Some important modifications are necessary, on the basis of biological considerations, but some results are directly transferable between predator-prey and herbivore-plant systems. Grazing systems have some advantages as relatively simple test cases for general ecological theories: the number of species is limited (usually only one herbivore, in some cases one or a few plant species), environmental heterogeneity within a system is often low and movement of animals is controlled. There is a large and increasing number of observations and experiments on pasture and range systems in many parts of the world. On the other hand, grazing systems are one of the types of ecosystems which are of greatest importance to man; if theoretical ecology could contribute to their understanding and to the solution of their practical management problems, this would be a very useful contribution indeed.
Surgery and the Staging of Melanoma

An estimated 166,900 patients were diagnosed with malignant melanoma in developed countries last year [1]. The reported incidence of malignant melanoma continues to rise de‐ spite increasing understanding of its aetiology. In the United States 76,250 new cases are ex‐ pected in 2012 with melanoma far outstripping other skin cancers in terms of mortality [2]. Similarly, in the UK, 12,818 new cases of malignant melanoma were diagnosed in 2010 [3]. Approximately, 85% percent of patients with cutaneous melanoma are diagnosed at a local‐ ized stage, while 10% have associated regional lymph node involvement and 5% of patients will have distant metastatic disease at presentation. The corresponding 5-year overall sur‐ vival rates are 98.2% for localized disease, 62.4% for regional lymph node involvement and 15.1% for distant melanomas [4, 5].
Effect of aerosol on warm convective clouds: Aerosol‐cloud‐surface flux feedbacks in a new coupled large eddy model

Received 27 April 2005; revised 25 October 2005; accepted 8 November 2005; published 5 January 2006. [1] We present a new large eddy simulation model that comprises coupled components representing size-resolved aerosol and cloud microphysics, radiative properties of aerosol and clouds, dynamics, and a surface soil and vegetation model. The model is used to investigate the effect of increases in aerosol on liquid water path LWP, cloud fraction, optical depth, and precipitation formation in warm, continental cumulus clouds. Sets of simulations that either neglect, or include the radiative properties of a partially absorbing aerosol are performed. In the absence of aerosol radiative effects, an increase in aerosol loading results in a reduction in precipitation. However, the clouds do not experience significant changes in LWP, cloud fraction and cloud depth; aerosol effects on LWP and cloud fraction are small compared to the dynamical variability of the clouds at any given aerosol concentration. Reasons for this response are discussed. When aerosol radiative effects are included, the modification in atmospheric heating profiles, and the reduction in surface latent and sensible heat fluxes resulting from the presence of these particles, have a significant effect on cloud parameters and boundary layer evolution. For the case considered, there is a significant reduction in the strength of convection, LWP, cloud fraction and cloud depth. Cloud optical depth responds non-monotonically to the increase in aerosol. These results indicate that in continental regions surface processes must be included in calculations of aerosol-cloud-precipitation interactions. Neglect of these surface processes may result in an overestimate of the second aerosol indirect effect.
