Teachers' Perspectives of Difficulties Face Teaching English Language as a Foreign Language at the Intermediate Schools

The study attempts to determine the most influential difficulties that face Iraqi-English teachers as they have experienced through teaching process and the extent to which the variable of gender could influence teachers’ perspectives toward the difficulties of teaching. A sample of (34) intermediate-school teachers were chosen randomly from different schools at Al-Karkh side of Baghdad city. A questionnaire of (37) items was administered to the study sample to collect the needed data. SPSS software version (20) was run to analyze the collected data. The findings of study revealed that there is no statistically significant difference between male and female teachers at the level (a=0.05) in their perspective toward the difficulties in teaching English. Additionally, the most influential difficulties encounter Iraqi-English teachers are the scarcity of equipment and facilities and difficulties with students. The study came out with a number of recommendations.
How to Help Students Learn English Better: Towards Creating a Language Learning Culture

The purpose of this study was to investigate university students’ perspectives of effective teaching that helped them learn English better. Adopting an interpretative approach to the research, the data was collected in three phases. In Phase One an interview was used and 17 university students studying English in Intensive English programs were interviewed. In Phase Two a qualitative questionnaire was used and 165 students responded to it. In Phase Three four students were interviewed for further information about the effective teaching characteristics identified in phases one and two. The findings of the study revealed that effective EFL teaching had two main dimensions: instructional skills and human characteristics. A wide range of categories and subcategories were classified under each dimension. Bearing in mind the descriptions and information the respondents gave throughout the Three Phases, the broader picture of effective teaching reflected the idea of a learning culture that effective teachers had an important role in creating.
Cys 147 Trp mutation drives kidney disease by activating ER stress and apoptosis

Uromodulin-associated kidney disease (UAKD) is caused by mutations in the uromodulin (UMOD) gene that result in a misfolded form of UMOD protein, which is normally secreted by nephrons. In UAKD patients, mutant UMOD is poorly secreted and accumulates in the ER of distal kidney epithelium, but its role in disease progression is largely unknown. Here, we modeled UMOD accumulation in mice by expressing the murine equivalent of the human UMOD p.Cys148Trp point mutation (UmodC147W/+ mice). Like affected humans, these UmodC147W/+ mice developed spontaneous and progressive kidney disease with organ failure over 24 weeks. Analysis of diseased kidneys and purified UMOD-producing cells revealed early activation of the PKR-like ER kinase/activating transcription factor 4 (PERK/ATF4) ER stress pathway, innate immune mediators, and increased apoptotic signaling, including caspase-3 activation. Unexpectedly, we also detected autophagy deficiency. Human cells expressing UMOD p.Cys147Trp recapitulated the findings in UmodC147W/+ mice, and autophagy activation with mTOR inhibitors stimulated the intracellular removal of aggregated mutant UMOD. Human cells producing mutant UMOD were susceptible to TNF-a– and TRAIL-mediated apoptosis due to increased expression of the ER stress mediator tribbles-3. Blocking TNF-a in vivo with the soluble recombinant fusion protein TNFR:Fc slowed disease progression in UmodC147W/+ mice by reducing active caspase-3, thereby preventing tubule cell death and loss of epithelial function. These findings reveal a targetable mechanism for disease processes involved [. ] Research Article Cell biology Nephrology

Chapter 3 Terpenes as Potential Antimalarial Drugs

A fact which favors the increase in morbidity and mortality of malaria cases in the world is the resistance to chemotherapeutic agents that the parasite presents. Therefore, it is necessary to identify new potential targets specific to the parasite in order to be able to perform a rational planning. One target for the evaluation of potential antimalarial compounds is isoprenoid synthesis, which occurs via the 2-C-methyl-d-erythritol-4-phosphate pathway in Plasmodium falciparum. Several intermediaries and final products of this pathway were identified in the parasite and lead us to the conclusion that it is different from the vertebrate host. In this chapter, we describe the effect of some monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes on Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium berghei as potential antimalarial drugs.
Incorporation of Flipped Learning into EFL Classrooms Performance and Perception

Innovative mobile-based tools have made new opportunities for learners to spend more quality time inside the classrooms. Keeping this in mind, the present study sought to examine the effect of the flipped classroom on developing EFL learners’ speaking and listening skills. To do so, 60 EFL students from two universities in Iran were assigned into one of the classes of flipped and conventional groups. Telegram app was used as the online platform for the flipped group's participants through which the listening materials, including Ted-talk videos and students' book's videos were posted prior to the class, and the speaking activities were done via open discussion forums in the Telegram group. To elicit the required data, multiple sources of data collection, including an Oxford Placement Test (OPT), a listening test, a speaking test, a perception questionnaire, and a written self-report survey were used. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses were used to analyze the data. The findings revealed that the flipped group's participants significantly outperformed those in the conventional group in the post-test. The results of the questionnaire also indicated that most participants of the flipped group were satisfied with learning English in the flipped classroom, and found this modern technology improving their listening and speaking skills. Furthermore, they found Telegram a suitable platform for learning language.
Tilburg University The Performance of the European Market for Corporate Control

For the 5 takeover wave, European M&As were expected to create significant takeover value: the announcement reactions were strongly positive for target shareholders (more than 35%) and the bidding shareholders also expected to gain a small though significant increase in market value of 0.5%. While, most of the expected takeover synergies are captured by the target firm shareholders, The combined value creation is significantly positive. However, the expected value strongly depends on the wave pattern, with optimistic expectations at the climax of the wave and a more pessimistic outlook at the decline. We establish that the characteristics of the target and bidding firms and of the bid itself have a significant impact on takeover returns. While some of our results have been documented for other markets of corporate control (e.g. US), a comparison of the UK and Continental European M&A markets reveals that the corporate environment is an important factor affecting the market reaction to takeovers: (i) In case a UK firm is taken over, the abnormal returns exceed those in bids involving a Continental European target. (ii) The presence of a large shareholder in the bidding firm has a significantly positive effect on the takeover returns in the UK and a negative one in Continental Europe. (iii) Weak investor protection and low disclosure environment in Continental Europe enable bidding firms to invent takeover strategies that allow them to act opportunistically towards target firm’s incumbent shareholders; more specifically, partial acquisitions and acquisitions with undisclosed terms of transaction.

Impact of Mature Corporate Governance on Detective Role of Forensic Accounting: Case of Public Listed Companies in Oman

Organizational fraud is transpiring despite the availability of controls, regulatory directives, and governance guidelines. These controls, directives, and guidelines are only utilized as a compliance checkbox instead of being utilized to identify the control deficiencies and also to identify the maturity of corporate governance. Forensic accounting detective role is an activity which can be available within an organization that can be impacted and reformed by the mature corporate governance which can eventually assist organizations in the reduction of fraud and its related activities. Three major constituents of mature corporate governance are the board of directors, audit and risk committee, and senior management or executive management. All three significant constituents are vital to the achievement of organizational objectives and providing satisfaction to shareholders. With the utilization of agency theory, this paper intends to identify the relationship between mature corporate governance and detective role of forensic accounting within public listed companies situated in Sultanate of Oman. The descriptive cross-sectional survey has been conducted with the utilization of quantitative method, and data has been analyzed by utilization of PLS-SEM. Result suggests that mature corporate governance has a significant direct impact on forensic accounting’s detective role. In order to mitigate or eliminate fraud within organizations, it is highly recommended that organizations should have in-house forensic accounting detective role which can be strengthened with the mature corporate governance.
“Nobody likes to support a loser, do they? Examining the social-group bases of third-party voting in recent British elections

While single-member district plurality electoral systems create incentives for voters to avoid supporting a party that will place third or worse in their district, recent research suggests nontrivial shares of voters do. To help understand why so many voters support third-placed parties, this paper examines an argument rooted in social cleavage theory holding that voters belonging to social groups represented by a particular party will be more likely to vote for that party in districts where it places third than other groups – even if they recognize that “their” party is out of the running in their district. Using data from the 2005-2010 British Election Panel Study, the analysis shows that, even after controlling for several alternative explanations of third-placed voting behavior, voters belonging to groups affiliated with particular political parties are significantly more likely to vote for their party in districts where the party places third or worse than voters belonging to other social groups.
The Impact of Teaching Self-regulation in Reading on EFL Learners' Motivation to Read: Insights from an SRL Model

Self-regulation is the ability to regulate one’s actions, behaviors and thoughts to achieve goals. In the same line, self-regulated learning (SRL) refers to plans and behaviors to reach one’s learning goals. Therefore, this research probed into the effect of training English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners according to Zimmerman and Moylan’s self-regulated learning (SRL) model when directed at reading on their motivation for EFL reading. Moreover, the moderating role of the learners’ proficiency level was investigated, as well. Self-regulation strategies which can be used while reading were taught to two experimental groups; they were trained to implement the three phases of Zimmerman and Moylan’s cyclic SRL model while trying to make sense of the reading sections of their textbook. Meanwhile, two control groups received the traditional, routine reading instruction. The data of the study were collected through Mori’s questionnaire of motivation for EFL reading before and after the treatment. A two-way analysis of covariance showed that self-regulation training, when directed at EFL reading, could significantly enhance the participants’ motivation for EFL reading, but their level of proficiency did not have any moderating role in the outcome of self-regulation training. These findings can encourage teachers to train EFL learners in self-regulation strategies with the purpose of improving their motivation for reading.

Neutrino Telescope : News

A brief review is given of the existing methods and devices currently used for recording astrophysical mostly solar neutrinos. These structures, as a rule, have significant, often cyclopean dimensions, insignificant sensitivity and difficulties in determining the direction to the neutrino source. New types of neutrino telescope are described, which are based on the physical effect of anomalous neutrino radioisotope (ANRI) absorption. One type has a high sensitivity, small dimensions, low cost, but also how all existing ones determine the direction of neutrino arrival through the interaction tracks. The other type of telescope, while maintaining these advantages, points to a neutrino source similarly to an optical one by the direction of the axis of the design structure not on the neutrino interaction tracks, but on their source. The results of a successful test of the current layout are given.
Chapter 2 The Neurology of Creativity : Focus on Music

© Springer-Verlag London 2015 C. Charyton (ed.), Creativity and Innovation Among Science and Art, DOI 10.1007/978-1-4471-6624-5_2 Abstract Creativity has been a very difficult human quality to study, but is now beginning to be understood at the neurobiological level. The most recent theories suggest that the major lobes of the brain, in particular interactions between the frontal lobes and temporal lobes, are critical for maximizing the potential for creative endeavors. The neural circuitry of the limbic system, as well as catecholaminergic neurotransmitter pathways and their lobar interactions, is also important in the process. Music is one of the most creative and complex of all human activities and appears to involve numerous regions and pathways within the brain. The process of listening to music involves many specialized regions, including the auditory pathways, Heschl’s gyrus, the planum temporale (PT), and auditory association areas. Musical performance involves coordination between the neuromuscular system while playing an instrument, with simultaneous and constant auditory feedback on the quality of the performance and the need for any necessary adjustments. The process of music perception while listening or performing requires acoustical analysis of pitch, melody, and harmony, the use of auditory memories, analysis of musical syntax and emotional responses, and many other functions, all performed over a matter of milliseconds in the dedicated musical neural networks in the brain. In addition, the brains of musicians and non-musicians are now known to be different, with musicians having specialized networks and connections as a result of formal musical training. The origins of music, as well as the anatomical and neurobiological underpinnings of musical perception, performance, and training, are reviewed in detail.
