Self-Disclosure and Moroccan EFL Learners’ Writing Development: Effects on Complexity, Accuracy, and Fluency

This article addressed the relationship between students’ self-disclosure—that is, sharing social and positive information—and writing development in the English language classroom. The pretest-post-test research design was adopted to assess whether students’ refl ections on personal positive experiences including feelings and opinions help improve their writing output as measured by complexity, accuracy, and fl uency. The participants, drawn from a convenience sample, were 15 Moroccan students enrolled in the department of English studies at a Moroccan university. These participants were included to establish a homogenous level of English profi ciency in writing. The participants completed a pre-test, six positive self-disclosure topics, and a post-test. A pairedsample t-test was computed to determine if a signifi cant mean difference existed between the preand post-tests. Although the descriptive statistics suggest that the learners showed relative improvement in complex and fl uent language, their overall writing development did not reach a statistically signifi cant difference level. Although differing writing prompts and learners’ academic learning experiences infl uenced the overall fi ndings, this study contributes to the debate about the role of self-disclosure activities in improving certain language components in writing and calls for developing study programs that consider students’ personal lives in language arts classes.
The Effect of Different Water Levels and Varieties on The Growth and Yield of Onion (A llium cepa L.) Using a Watering Pot in Hot Dry Season at Tomia District Wakatobi Indonesia

Background: Onion (Allium cepa L) is the important crop and it can be produced throughout the year with dependable rain only or other traits because no irrigation water system is available. Objective : Rainfall in unreliable and insufficient to support onion production and therefore that makes the use of watering pot indispensable practice. Result: The variety was significant (p<0.05) influenced the plant high, leaf width, leaf area index and number of tillers, but it was not significant effect on fresh and dry weight. Variety V1 showed a better performance than V2. Conclusion: It could be concluded that as water levels increase the onion growth and yield parameters increase. By using A3 (16 liters) of water, will product the highest mean plant height, leaf width, leaves area index, fresh and dry weight at harvest. In order to reach high onion production, onion farmers can adopt A3 water application. Besides that, farmers can develop the Enrekang onion variety (V2) since it statistically was not different with V1 in terms of fresh and dry weight.
Text Mining Dan Pola Algoritma Dalam Penyelesaian Masalah Informasi : (Sebuah Ulasan)

Text Mining to find aims valuable hidden information from both structured and unstructured sources of information. The web is the main source of textual existence which stores the textual information available to us. The amount of text is continuously increasing over time. Text Mining is a new discovery whose information was previously unknown. Information extracted from various written resources is done automatically. The key element is to connect some of the extracted information into one so that it can form new facts or new hypotheses for further exploration. This paper only focuses on reviewing and providing an overview of the basic patterns and concepts of various text mining techniques that are widely used for solving information problems that have been published by several authors. In addition, the author also shows a major review of text mining and its main themes from around the 1980s to 2010s. which originally started from information science into information systems and penetrated into technology management, in the fields of architecture, and social ecology.
Assessment of Insertion Torque of Mini-implant and Its Correlation with Primary Stability and Pain Levels in Orthodontic Patients.

AIM The aim of this study was to assess the insertion torque of the mini-implant used in orthodontic patients and to assess the correlation between the insertion torque, primary stability, and perception of pain in patients undergoing orthodontic therapy with mini-implant-augmented anchorage. MATERIAL AND METHODS Among the patients undergoing orthodontic therapy, 31 samples who required mini-implant for anchorage purpose were selected. A total of 59 mini-implants were placed in these patients. This included interradicular mini-implants and extra-alveolar mini-screws. Immediately after placement, the insertion torque in all these was measured using a digital torque meter and primary stability was assessed by identifying any mobility of the implant placed. Primary stability was noted at two time intervals immediate post-placement and 1 week after that. All the mini-implants that were considered in this study were immediately loaded. Patients were asked to record any pain experienced on the visual analog scale (VAS) score sheet at 24 hours and 1 week post-placement. RESULTS Among the mini-implants placed, those with 2 mm diameter needed higher placement torque, i.e., infrazygomatic crest mini-implants and buccal shelf mini-implants were placed with average placement torque of 10.08 and 10.25 N cm, respectively. Extra-alveolar screws caused more pain, especially higher in the mandible than the maxilla. Decrease in pain scores was noted from T0 to T1 in almost all the cases. CONCLUSION Thicker mini-implant needed more insertion torque and highest insertion torque was recorded with extra-alveolar screws. No direct correlation could be obtained with the pain levels experienced by the patients and with the primary stability of the mini-implants. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Mini-implants placed with an insertion torque above the recommended range tend to fail and break more often. Patients placed with extra-alveolar bone screws reported more pain than that of the smaller-dimension mini-implant.
Promoting urban security through community participation: evidence from Wa, Ghana

Received: 2020-08-19 Received in revised form: 2020-12-08 Accepted: 2021-02-26 Crime remains one of the major threats to urban communities in Ghana. Ostensibly, the hitherto approach in crime control had been targeting statutory institutions, notably the Ghana Police Service, to the neglect of community level participation, which has become critical due to the increase in crime levels and manpower challenges facing the law enforcement agencies. Against this background, this paper examined how community members contribute to the promotion of security in Wa, a cosmopolitan community in the Upper West Region of Ghana, which often escapes official reports. Forty-three (43) community crime control actors in addition to three key informants were selected purposely in a case study design. Primary data were gathered through interviews and focus group discussions. The study found that community actors complement the efforts of the police by supplying relevant information on crime and offenders resulting in the arrest and prosecution of offenders in the law courts; providing logistical support such as motorbikes and fuel to the police; arresting and handing over suspected criminals to the police; engaging the services of private security operatives; as well as undertaking community patrols often known as ‘neighbourhood watch’. Given the critical role of citizens in crime prevention and control, and the promotion of communities’ safety, the paper recommends that the police should periodically organise workshops to educate community members on modern crime trends and strategies so as to improve their skills in crime control and detection.
Influence of Self-Perception and Importance of Body Image on the Methods Implemented to Enhance the Physical Appearance

Physical appearance refers to the traits and features in our body and to how we look. The importance given to the looks and complexion is a major factor contributing the perception of one’s physical appearance. In the current scenario, there are many ways to enhance the overall physical appearance. This study aims to find whether the satisfaction gained on behalf of the physical appearance has any impact on the value given to body image and the steps taken to enhance it. In this regard, the research also proves whether the noteworthiness on the looks affects the methods that are used to improve the body image. Data was collected by the methods of purposive and convenience sampling from 462 people who live in Tamilnadu, which is one of the southern states of India. The Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) technique was used to analyse the data using Smart PLS version 3.0 software. The results showed that the techniques implemented to enhance the physical appearance is influenced by the perception of individuals on their look and the level of importance given by them to it. Also, it was ascertained that the self-satisfaction of persons with regard to appearance has a negative impact on the importance given by them to their body image.
Chemical Composition and Physicochemical Properties of Selected Seed Spices in Ibadan Metropolis, Nigeria

Monodora myristica (African nutmeg), Myristica fragrans (nutmeg) and Byrosocurpus dinklayer (Efu) are common spices used in the preparation of delicacies. The proximate composition of the seed flour and physicochemical properties of the oil were determined. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition of the seed flours and physicochemical properties of the oil in order to know their domestics and industrial applications. The oil of M. myristica, M. fragrans and B. dinklayer were extracted with petroleum ether. The moisture, dry matter, crude fibre, fat, protein, ash and carbohydrate contents for M.myristica, M. fragrans and B. dinklayer ranged from 11.76-13.67, 88.24-89.30, 13.60-15.47, 5.28-14.65 7.90-10.41, 9.20-11.45 and 40.78-47.13% respectively. The acid values of M. myristica, M. fragrans and B. dinklayer were 0.70, 0.68 and 0.98 g/100g respectively. The values for oil under study suggested its edibility. The iodine values were 93.27, 89.30 and 106.72 g/100g respectively. Since the iodine values of the oil are lower than 100 (gI2/100 g sample) except B. dinklayer, the oils could be classified as non-drying oils. The peroxide values were 8.90, 5.12 and 9.60 g/100g respectively. The values indicate low levels of oxidative rancidity. The saponification values ranged from 179.03-188.64. The values suggested that the oils may be used in soap and shampoos.
Influence of Khat Extract (Catha edulis) on Corrosion Resistance of Co-Cr Dental Alloys

Objective: The aim of this experimental study was to assess the effect of khat extract with different concentrations on the corrosion resistance of cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) dental alloys used for removable denture. Material and Methods: The corrosion resistance of three Co-Cr alloys (Neobond II®, Kera 501® and PD Casta H®) was evaluated in artificial saliva in presence of three different concentrations of khat extracts. Fusayama-Meyer artificial saliva was used as a reference solution. The corrosion properties of the alloys were analyzed using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and surface analysis. The data was presented in means, standard deviations, and related figures. Comparison between the different concentrations was done using 1-way ANOVA test. The surface analysis was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results: the results showed that the corrosion resistance of the three alloys tested (Neobond II®, Kera 501® and PD Casta H®) decreased in artificial saliva containing khat extract compared with that of the reference solution. Additionally, the corrosion resistance of the three Co-Cr dental alloys decreased by increasing the concentration of khat extract. Furthermore, the results indicate that Neobond II® alloy showed the least corrosion resistance compared with that of Kera 501® and PD Casta H® alloys. Conclusion: Khat extract with different concentrations had negative impact on the corrosion resistance of Cr-Co alloys. More in-vivo studies are highly recommended to confirm the results of the present study. RESUMO
Analysing the Cumulative Hierarchy of the Taxonomy of Learning Objectives in Flipped Classroom

The emergence of digital learning formats influences the planning and structuring of digital teaching. Especially in times of the Corona Pandemic, when many universities remain closed, new digital learning concepts are emerging that can be integrated into face-to-face teaching in future. In this context, old teaching formats are often revised and questioned. But while technology only determines the form of collaboration, the real quality of learning depends on cognitive trials that the teacher addresses to the students. To classify these trials, a teacher can use Bloom's revised taxonomy, which ranks Learning Objectives in a six-level order and assumes a cumulative hierarchy: achieving a required Learning Objective level includes all lower levels. Especially in blended learning scenarios, such as a Flipped Classroom, this theory can be used to develop the course structure and to form exam questions. However, the applicability of the cumulative hierarchy is controversial in the literature and is rarely analysed in blended learning courses. Our goal is therefore to verify the cumulative hierarchy in a Flipped Classroom Course and derive recommendations for action. Therefore, we use a quantitative written survey. Since the analysis is based on the students' perceptions, these are verified by correlation analysis with the actual exam results and the awareness of contents and activities. Afterwards, the cumulative hierarchy is tested by regression analysis of the different levels of Learning Objectives. As a result, it could be confirmed for all levels, but not always by direct but often by indirect influences of other levels.
COMPARISON OF HYDRATED SODIUM CALCIUM ALUMINOSILICATE AND TURMERIC (CURCUMA LONGA) TO AMELIORATE THE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF AﬂATOXIN IN BROILER CHICKS

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the use of curcumin-containing turmeric powder (TP) and hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate (HSCAS) alone or in combination to alleviated aflatoxicosis in broiler chicks. A total of 480 day-old broiler chicks were separated into 8 treatments. Each of the 8 dietary groups was divided into four replicates of 15 chicks each. The first group was fed basal diet and used as control. The other treatments (from 2 to 8 ) were fed the same basal diet and supplied with 0.5% turmeric powder (TP) including 1.48% total curcuminoids (80 mg/kg (80 mg/kg), Hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate (HSCAS) alone (0.5% ), TP (0.5%) plus HSCAS (0.5%), Aflatoxin B1 ( AFB1) alone in the diet (1 mg/kg of diet), AFB1 plus TP (0.5%), AFB1 plus HSCAS (0.5%) and AFB1 plus TP (0.5%) plus HSCAS (0.5%, respectively) for 35 day. The findings showed that the turmeric or HSCAS substantially addition to the AFB1 diet increased feed consumption and body weight and decreased liver weight. Supplementation of turmeric or HSCAS and turmeric with HSCAS reinforced the harmful effects of AFB1 on serum constituents. Furthermore, decreased antioxidant functions and increased serum and liver homogeneous malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations due to AFB1. In conclusion, the combined method to the management of aflatoxicosis in broiler chicks can be considered to be the addition of HSCAS and/or turmeric.
Correlations of linear sizes of molars with cephalometric indicators of practically healthy men of the southern region of Ukraine

The high prevalence of pathologies of the dental and tooth-jaw system both in Ukraine and abroad requires scientists to search for new, fundamental discoveries, in particular, to identify patterns of the relationship between cephalometric and odontometric indicators within certain ethnic populations. The purpose of the study is to establish the features of the correlations of computed tomography sizes of molars with cephalometric parameters of practically healthy men in the southern region of Ukraine. 33 practically healthy men of the first mature age, inhabitants of the southern region of Ukraine (from Mykolayiv, Kherson, Odesa, Zaporizhia regions and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea) underwent cephalometry and cone-beam computed tomography followed by odontometry of molars. The correlations between odontoand cephalometric parameters were assessed in the license package "Statistica 6.1" using non-parametric Spearman statistics. In almost healthy men of the southern region of Ukraine in the qualitative analysis of multiple nature, mostly direct reliable and medium unreliable correlations, found only between most sizes of molars on the lower jaw and the length and height of the nose. Quantitative analysis revealed the most significant correlations between computed tomography sizes of molars and face sizes (7.4 % on the upper jaw, most of which are inverse, and 13.2 % on the lower jaw, almost evenly straight and inverse). With the indicators of the skull, the relative majority of reliable, mostly inverse correlations are observed with the height of the teeth, their crowns and the length of the roots (on the upper jaw 11.4 %, on the lower jaw 5.4 %); and with indicators of the facial skull almost evenly with the height of the teeth, their crowns and the length of the roots (on the upper jaw 6.4 %, on the lower jaw 14.6 %, in both cases mostly reverse) and with vestibular-lingual and mesio-distal dimensions (on the upper jaw 8.7 %, mostly reverse, on the lower jaw 11.8 %, mostly straight). The obtained results of correlation analysis of computed tomography sizes of molars with cephalometric indicators and indices confirm the population specificity of the features of the dental system and are necessary for the correct construction of regression models.
ADIPONUTRIN LEVELS IN HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS DEPENDING ON THE DEGREE OF OBESITY

Introduction. Well-known the fact that obesity, especially its abdominal (visceral) form, is one of the most important risk factors for hypertension. The purpose: to determine the level of adiponutrin in patients with hypertension and obesity. Assess how the degree of hypertension and obesity affects the level of adiponutrin in our patients with this comorbid pathology. Materials and methods. The study included 58 patients with hypertension. Grade 1 was diagnosed in 12 (20.69%), grade 2 - in 16 (27.59%), grade 3 - in 30 (51.72%) examined patients. Of these, 32 women and 26 men aged 32 to 79 years (mean age 57.5 ± 10.11 years). Patients underwent anthropometric measurements, assessed lipid profile and changes in carbohydrate metabolism, adiponutrin levels. Results. The level of adiponutrin in all groups of hypertensive patients with overweight and obesity was significantly increased compared to the control group, but the degree of hypertension did not affect the level of adiponutrin. However, the concentration of the latter in the serum gradually increases according to the duration of hypertension. In addition, the level of adiponutrin increased depending on the degree of obesity, which, in turn, was confirmed by a reliable direct linear relationship between adiponutrin and body mass index. Conclusions. Based on the data obtained, adiponutrin can be considered as a marker of metabolic syndrome.

The effect of different concentrations (2.5 and 5%) as powder and (250 and 500mg/kg/BW) as extract of chestnut fruits (Castanea sativa, M.) on obese rats were evaluated. Thirty six male albino rats weighting 140 ±10 g were used in this study and divided into 6 groups, 6 rats per each. Rats were fed on high fat diet (20% animal fat) to induce obese. Results showed that the highest body weight gain, feed intake and feed efficiency ratio recorded for 250mg/kgchestnut fruits extract, while the lowest recorded for 2.5 % chestnut fruits as powder with significant difference.The lowest ALT, AST and ALP liver enzyme of treated grouprecorded for group fed on 500mg/kgchestnut fruits extract with significant difference (P≤0.05). The highest cholesterol and triglycerides levels recorded for group fed on 2.5 % chestnut fruit powder while, the lowest value recorded for group fed on 500 mg/kg chestnut fruit extract with significant difference(P≤0.05). The highest (HDL-c) levels recorded for group fed on 500 mg/kg chestnut fruit extract.The lowest LDL-c and VLDL-c values recorded for group fed on 500 mg/kg chestnut fruit extract with significant difference(P≤0.05). While, the lowest uric acid, urea and creatinine values recorded for group fed on 500 mg/kg chestnut fruit extract with significant difference. As conclusion, obese rats treated with 500 mg/kg chestnut fruit extract had improvement lipid profile, liver and kidney functions compared withchestnut fruit powder.
Images Classiﬁcation with Estimated Depth Map ∗

We consider the problem of doing image classiﬁcation using estimated depth information. This problem clearly falls into the domain of transfer learning, since we are us-ing a model trained on a set of depth images in order to generate depth maps (additional features) for use in another classiﬁcation problem using another disjoint set of images. It is a challenging task as no direct depth information is provided. Previous related research efforts have been focused on image classiﬁcation tasks using RGB images and depth image estimation but none have attempted to use depth image estimations in order to aid image classiﬁcation over RGB images. Therefore, in this paper we present a way of transferring domain knowledge on depth estimation to a seperate image classiﬁcation task over a disjoint set of training,validation and test data. To our knowledge, we are the ﬁrst to bridge gap between image classiﬁcation and depth estimation. Speciﬁcally, we attempt to implement the recent work by Fayao Liu et al . [1], build a RGBD dataset and do image classiﬁcation on the RGBD dataset we built and then compare the performance of both a simple feedforward neural network and a multi-layer convolutional neural network of the RGBD dataset compared to the RGB dataset Our project code, models, and example results are available on github: github.com/yihui-he/Depth-estimation-with-neural-network github.com/netzo92/cs291k-FP
