Escritura ortográfica y mensajes de texto en estudiantes universitarios

This study aims to determine if there is a relationship between spelling errors and text messaging. This experimental work employs a predominantly qualitative model. The study was carried out with 42 students from the second year of the Masters in Primary Education at the University of Seville who wrote an academic essay and literally transcribed messages sent using WhatsApp. Content analysis revealed that together with the predictable features of spontaneity and orality, smartphones have favored the multimedia character of messages. The appearance of new spelling norms for Spanish described in this study, and the lack of negative impact on academic spelling, clearly indicate that critical reflection on this kind of texts should be incorporated into the goals of the new curricula for language in secondary education, and to digital literacy processes.
Customer Expectations and Loyalty of the Hotel Industry in Lagos, Nigeria

The emergence of service economy is naturally the front liner for the emergence of services marketing. The unique features of services such as intangibility, inseparability and heterogeneity make the assessment of customer expectation very pertinent. However, regular delivery of quality services that will match the dynamic expectations of the customers remain an herculean task for every service provider. The objective of this study was therefore to examine the effect of customer expectation on customer loyalty in hotel industry. Descriptive statistics and regression analysis were employed for the test of the hypotheses. The findings revealed that customer expectation has significant effect on both customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. In addition, descriptive statistic revealed that augmented services such as baby sitter and internet reserving system are highly expected by customers. It was therefore recommended that relationship marketing practices should be adopted by the hotels management.
Gemini K-band NIRI Adaptive Optics Observations of massive galaxies at 1 < z < 2

We present deep K-band adaptive-optics observations of eight very massive (M� � 4 × 10 11 M� ) galaxies at 1 < z < 2 utilizing the Gemini NIRI/Altair Laser Guide System. These systems are selected from the Palomar Observatory Wide-Field Infrared (POWIR) survey, and are amongst the most massive field galaxies at these epochs. The depth and high spatial resolution of our images allow us to explore for the first time the stellar mass surface density distribution of massive distant galaxies from 1 to 15 kpc on an individual galaxy basis, rather than on stacked images. We confirm that some of these massive objects are extremely compact with measured effective radii between 0: 00 1 - 0: 00 2, giving sizes which are . 2 kpc, a factor of �7 smaller in effective radii than similar mass galaxies today. Examining stellar mass surface densities as a function of fixed physical aperture, we find an over-density of material within the inner profiles, and an under-density in the outer profile, within these high-z galaxies compared with similar mass galaxies in the local universe. Consequently, massive galaxies should evolve in a way to decrease the stellar mass density in their inner region, and at the same time creating more extensive outer light envelopes. We furthermore show that �38%±20% of our sample contains evidence for a disturbed outer stellar matter distribution suggesting that these galaxies are undergoing a recent dynamical episode, such as a merger or accretion event. We calculate that massive galaxies at z < 2 will undergo on the order of five of these events, a much higher rate than observed for major mergers, suggesting that these galaxies are growing in size and stellar mass in part through minor mergers during this epoch.
National Identification and Collective Emotions as Predictors of Pro-Social Attitudes Toward Islamic Minority Groups in Indonesia

The present study examined the role of Indonesian Moslem majority’s national identification, collective emotions of pride and guilt in predicting their support in helping members of Islamic minority and their perceived inclusion towards this group. Data from this study (N = 182) demonstrated that, in line with our prediction, support for minority helping significantly predicted perceived inclusion. We also hypothesized and found that collective pride and collective guilt directly predicted the minority helping. Finally, national identification had significant direct effects on both collective pride and collective guilt. These findings shed light on the importance of collective emotions and national identification in giving rise to pro-social attitudes of Indonesian Moslem majority towards members of Islamic minority. Implications of the research findings were discussed with reference to theories of group-based emotion and intergroup helping, and to practical strategies Indonesian government can apply to recognize Islamic minorities.
Technology of High-Intensity Electric-Field Pulses: A Way to Control Protein Unfolding

In presence of chemical, mechanical or electromagnetic stimuli, protein functions and characteristics can highly differ from physiological conditions. In this work we investigate, at atomistic details, the way in which high intensity electric field pulses can be transduced into biophysical effects mainly related to protein unfolding by comparing the effect of three different waveforms of the pulses on protein behavior. Results from molecular dynamics simulations of a globular protein, namely myoglobin, have shown that real Gaussian and Bipolar pulses with lower energy but higher spectral frequency content can induce effects similar to an ideal rectangular pulse. Index Terms-Pulsed electric fields, molecular dynamics, protein unfolding.
Population Genetic Structure of the Armorhead, Pseudopentaceros wheeleri, in the North Pacific Ocean: Application of the Polymerase Chain Reaction to Fisheries problems

Armorhead (Pseudopentaceros wheeleri) occur in the subarctic, epipelagic habitats of the northern Pacific Ocean and are known to reproduce on seamounts in the central Pacific. Over the last few decades, overexploitation of seamount populations led to dramatic declines in abundances of reproductive populations. We undertook a study of the population genetics of armorhead to test whether distinct stocks exist in association with specific seamounts. We used the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and a combination of DNA sequencing and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis to analyze mtDNA variants for individuals collected from three localities: two seamounts and from the open ocean. We discovered that mtDNA haplotypes are not partitioned geographically, refuting the hypothesis that different seamounts harbor genetically distinct populations. Furthermore, genetic similarity of seamount and open-ocean fish supports the hypothesis that armorhead migrate between the central and northern Pacific .
Anthropogenic effects on subsurface temperature in Bangkok

Subsurface temperatures in Bangkok, where population and density increase rapidly, were analyzed to evaluate the effects of surface warming due to urbanization. The magnitude of surface warming evaluated from subsurface temperature in Bangkok was 1.7°C which agreed with meteorological data during the last 50 years. The depth apart from steady thermal gradient, which shows an indicator of the magnitude of surface warming due to additional heat from urbanization, was deeper at the center of the city than in the suburb areas of Bangkok. In order to separate surface warming effects into global warming effect and urbanization effect, analyses of subsurface temperature have been done depending on the distance from the city center. The results show that the expansion of urbanization in Bangkok reaches up to 80 km from the city center.
Patterns of nestling provisioning by a single‐prey loader bird, Great Tit Parus major

Capsule Nestling provisioning rates depend on nestling age and number, and on time of season, but not on time of day. Aims To determine patterns of nestling provisioning, the effort made by the parents, and the factors which affect them. Methods Mechanical counters to determine food provisioning patterns in 229 Great Tit Parus major nests over 4 years. Results Feeding frequency per chick showed a linear increase with nestling age and total feeding frequency stabilized towards the end of the nestling period. The number of visits per nest increased linearly, while those per nestling decreased linearly with brood‐size. Feeding rates per nest declined throughout the breeding season parallel to the seasonal brood‐size decline; feeding frequencies per nestling did not vary seasonally. Adult effort was almost constant throughout the day, independently of variations in brood‐size, ambient temperature and date. Conclusion Previous studies of nestling provisioning patterns were either contradictory or poorly supported by low sample sizes. The present study involved a much larger sample and clarifies nestling provisioning patterns and the factors with which they are associated.
Motorcycle Accident Profile in Manipal Teaching Hospital

This is a prospective descriptive study conducted at Manipal Teaching Hospital (MTH), where 140 patients seen at Emergency Room and OPD with a history of motorcycle accident from May 2015 to August 2015 were studied. Results showed that a high percentage of males 121 (86.4%) were involved in motorcycle accidents. Peak age range was 31-40 years old (61) (43.5%). Most of the motorcycles were manufactured in India (118) (84.2%). Single rider type of motorcycle accounted for 32(22.8%) of cases with a average speed of 50-70 km/hr (76.4%). The driver of the motorcycle was significantly involved in 106(75.7%) of cases. Alcohol intake was found in 40(28.6%) and non-license holder was 22 (15.7%) among accident victims. Abrasions 92(65.7%) was the predominant injury sustained followed by fractures 28(20%), lacerations 15(10.7%), and hematoma 10 (7.1%) in isolation or in combination. Combination of pain relievers128(91.4%), antibiotics 95(67.8%), suturing 18(12.8%), antitetanus 107(76.4%) and fracture management 21(15%) were the mode of management for these accidents. Most patients seen were discharged 116(82.8%) with home medications, wound care and follow-up, and only 24(17.2%) were admitted for observation and specific medical and surgical management.
The role of reciprocal teaching strategy as an important factor of improving reading motivation

A B S T R A C T Reading motivation is one of the most important factors, receives the special focus in foreign language teaching. Research has suggested that explicit reading strategies can be taught to students and improving their reading motivation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impacts of reciprocal teaching strategy on reading motivation. Reciprocal teaching strategy consists of four basic reading strategies: predicting, questioning, clarifying, and summarizing. Cognitive and meta-cognitive strategies are the reciprocal teaching strategies used to enhance students’ reading motivation. This paper will discuss whether ‘reciprocal teaching strategies’ enhance students reading motivation or not. This lack of good reading motivation skill is exacerbated by the central role of reading motivation in higher education success. One solution to this problem of poor reading motivation skill is the explicit teaching strategies. This paper is going to define the key words, reading motivation process, reading strategies, cognitive and meta-cognitive strategies, reading motivation and reciprocal teaching, and state relationship between reciprocal teaching and reading motivation. The findings indicated that reciprocal teaching had a significantly positive effect on the English reading motivation.
Working Capital and Profitability—Establishing the Causality

Working capital (WC) management has a marked impact on the liquidity of a firm. It is also widely observed that WC is closely associated with profitability—declared by many correlation studies. Furthermore, the financial performance data of scores of manufacturing, trading and service firms indicate that a negative relationship seems to exist between the constituents of WC—inventories, accounts receivable, cash and bank deposit and accounts payable—and the firm’s net operating profitability (NOP). However, such inferences are almost all correlation-based—a statistical procedure that quantifies association but does not establish causality. The present study takes a different path to probe this conjectured dependency—it sets up a first-principles model and statistical experiments. The model is crafted to represent the cost of net working capital with which the factors hypothesized to be influencing NOP can be varied systematically and the consequent effect on it examined. Thus conducted, the results establish statistically valid affirmation of causation of WC, if any, on NOP. We conclude, unlike earlier studies, that there is no exclusive prescription for managing WC to raise NOP, as “it depends! ”
Antibiofilm activity of Streptomyces toxytricini Fz94 against Candida albicans ATCC 10231

Candida albicans is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality inimmunocompromised patients worldwide. Biofilm formation by Candida species is a significantvirulence factor for disease pathogenesis. Keeping in view the importance of Streptomyces'metabolites, the present study was initiated during the bioprospecting programme of EgyptianStreptomyces carried by the authors since 2013. Native Streptomyces isolates were recoveredfrom soil samples collected from different governorates. Antifungal activity of forty isolates ofStreptomyces were performed against planktonic (free cells) of C. albicans ATCC 10231 andresistant clinical Candida isolates. Streptomyces isolates showed high inhibition activity againstfree cells of Candida were further assayed against biofilm of C. albicans reference strain. Themost active Streptomyces sp. (no.6) was identified phenotypically, biochemically and by using16S rRNA. The 16S rRNA sequences obtained were compared with those deposited in theGenBank Database and registered with accession number KM052378 as S. toxytricini Fz94.Screening of S. toxytricini Fz94 extract capability in prevention and destruction of C. albicansreference strain biolfilm was assessed by resazurin dye adopted technique. In the pre-exposurescheme, the lowest concentration of 5 gL-1 showed biofilm viability inhibition of 92% after 120min, while Ketoconazole® gave 90 % inhibition at concentration of 2 gL-1. In post exposure, theconcentration of S. toxytricini Fz94 extract 7gL-1 caused 82 % inhibition of biofilms viabilityafter 120 min, while Ketoconazole did not show any destruction capability. The cytotoxicity ofS. toxytricini Fz94 crude extract results showed that it was nontoxic at 10 gL-1. S. toxytriciniFz94 is maintained in the Fungarium of Arab Society for Fungal Conservation (ASFC) withaccession number FSCU-2017-1110.
Effect of fenugreek seed supplementation on hens’ egg fatty acids profile and atherogenic and thrombogenic health lipid indices

The effect of fenugreek seed on chicken egg fatty a cids profile and the related health lipid indices were investigated. Each of two groups of nine Lohmann White laying hens aged 69 weeks were offered either a basal diet (control) or the basa l diet + 2 g whole fenugreek seeds. The eggs laid d uring days 39 to 41 of the experiment were pooled per hen and used for analysis. Eleven and fourteen fatty acids were detected in eggs from hens on the contro l or fenugreek seed diets, respectively. However, o nly seven of them were of significant percentages accou nting for more than 95.5% of the total in both treatments. These were: oleic (45.08 vs 41.52%), pa lmintic (29.51 vs 28.77%), stearic (10.8 vs 12.24%) , linoleic (8.08 vs 10.11%), arachidonic (2.88 vs 3.5 3%), palmitoleic (2.3 vs 2.45%) and docasahexaenoic (1.11 vs 0.9%). Total saturated, monounsaturated an d polyunsaturated fatty acids were found to be: 40. 47 vs 41.22%, 47.38 vs 44.02 % and 12.14 vs 14.85%, re spectively. Fenugreek seed had also no effect (P>0.05) on the atherogenic and thrombogenic indice s as well as on the hypocholesterolemic to hypercholesterolemic fatty acids ratio. These were: 0.69 vs 0.71, 1.23 vs 1.27 and 1.93 vs 1.96, respectively. It was concluded that fenugreek seed supplementation at 2g/hen/day was not enough to affect egg yolk fatty acids profile and lipid healt h indices. Supplementation at higher levels may be useful in further investigation.
Chess : A game of Kings or the King of Games ? A Study of Creativity in Gifted and Non-Gifted Students 1

Chess is a game that requires higher order cognitive skills because of its complicated rules. The main goal of this study was to analyse the effect of chess on domain-specific creativities among gifted and non-gifted high-school students. The study was conducted using data of 476 students, including 260 gifted students and 216 non-gifted students. Kaufman Domains Creativity Scale-TR, which was adapted by Şahin (2015b, 2016) into Turkish used data collection instrument. The results of the analysis show that significant differences were obtained among the groups of scholarly, mechanic/ scientific, performance, self/ everyday and art creativities. The findings of the study indicate that the chess-playing is effective in developing creative thinking skills to gifted and non-gifted students.
Vocational teachers’ pathways in the course of a curriculum reform

Teachers face continuous changes, many of which significantly influence their professional identities and work practices. This study investigates Finnish vocational teachers’ pathways in the course of a curriculum reform. The data were obtained by interviewing 14 vocational teachers twice, i.e. at the initial and later stages of the reform. This study used a narrative approach to analyse the interviews as whole and also to illustrate variations between teachers. The teachers were found to exhibit distinctive pathways through the reform: an empowerment pathway, a critical but adaptive pathway, an open and expectant pathway, a successful transformation pathway, and a struggling pathway. The pathways demonstrated that the teachers’ self‐positioning in respect of the reform and their own professional identities showed varying degrees of continuity and transformation. The teachers changed or sustained their positions and identities, on the basis of their individual interpretations of the experiences and emotions they underwent during the reform. The paper concludes with a discussion of professional identity and agency in the reform context, and looks at the consequences of the reform for teachers.
DIAGNOSTICS ON THE SOURCE PROPERTIES OF A TYPE II RADIO BURST WITH SPECTRAL BUMPS

In recent studies, we proposed that source properties of type II radio bursts can be inferred through a causal relationship between the special shape of the type II dynamic spectrum (e. g., bump or break) and simultaneous extreme ultraviolet (EUV)/white light imaging observations (e. g., CME-shock crossing streamer structures). As a further extension of these studies, in this paper we examine the coronal mass ejection (CME) event on 2007 December 31 associated with a multiple type II radio burst. We identify the presence of two spectral bump features on the observed dynamic spectrum. By combining observational analyses of the radio spectral observations and the EUV-white light imaging data, we conclude that the two spectral bumps result from a CME-shock propagating across dense streamers on the southern and northern sides of the CME. It is inferred that the corresponding two type II emissions originate separately from the two CME-shock flanks where the shock geometries are likely quasi-perpendicular or oblique. Since the emission lanes are bumped as a whole within a relatively short time, it suggests that the type II radio bursts with bumps of this study are emitted from spatially confined sources (with a projected lateral dimension smaller than 0.05-0.1 R-circle dot at a fundamental frequency level of 20-30 MHz).
The role of statistical learning in the acquisition of motion event construal in a second language

Learning to talk about motion in a second language is very difficult because it involves restructuring deeply entrenched patterns from the first language. In this paper we argue that statistical learning can explain why L2 learners are only partially successful in restructuring their second language grammars. We explore to what extent L2 learners make use of two mechanisms of statistical learning, entrenchment and pre-emption to acquire target-like expressions of motion and retreat from overgeneralisation in this domain. Paying attention to the frequency of existing patterns in the input can help learners to adjust the frequency with which they use path and manner verbs in French but is insufficient to acquire the boundary crossing constraint and learn what not to say. We also look at the role of language proficiency and exposure to French in explaining the findings.
Detailed abundance analysis of globular clusters in the Local Group: NGC 147, NGC 6822, and Messier 33

We present new abundance measurements for eleven GCs in the Local Group galaxies NGC 147, NGC 6822, and Messier 33. These are combined with previously published observations of four GCs in the Fornax and WLM galaxies. The abundances were determined from analysis of integrated-light spectra, obtained with HIRES on the Keck I telescope and with UVES on the VLT. We find that the clusters with [Fe/H] -1.5, the GCs in M33 are also alpha-enhanced, while the GCs that belong to dwarfs (NGC 6822 SC7 and Fornax 4) have closer to Solar-scaled alpha-element abundances, thus mimicking the abundance trends observed in field stars in nearby dwarf galaxies. The abundance patterns in SC7 are remarkably similar to those in the Galactic GC Ruprecht 106, including significantly sub-solar [Na/Fe] and [Ni/Fe] ratios. In NGC 147, the GCs with [Fe/H]<-2.0 account for about 6% of the total luminosity of stars in the same metallicity range, a lower fraction than those previously found in the Fornax and WLM galaxies, but substantially higher than in the Milky Way halo.
Unpacking the Mechanism by Which Psychological Ownership Manifests at the Level of the Individual: A Dynamic Model of Identity and Self

Increasing prominence of the psychological ownership (PO) construct in management studies raises questions about how PO manifests at the level of the individual. In this article, we unpack the mechanism by which individuals use PO to express aspects of their identity and explore how PO manifestations can display congruence as well as incongruence between layers of self. As a conceptual foundation, we develop a dynamic model of individual identity that differentiates between four layers of self, namely, the “core self,” “learned self,” “lived self,” and “perceived self. ” We then bring identity and PO literatures together to suggest a framework of PO manifestation and expression viewed through the lens of the four presented layers of self. In exploring our framework, we develop a number of propositions that lay the foundation for future empirical and conceptual work and discuss implications for theory and practice.
