EFL Students’ Speaking Achievements in Relation to Their Language Attitude and Anxiety

This research aims at investigating the EFL learners` Speaking Achievements in relation to their language attitude and anxiety. This is a mixed method research which specifically analyses both of qualitative and quantitative data. The data of this research were collected through distributing questionnaires, Foreign Language Speaking Anxiety Scales (FLSAS) and Language Attitude Questionnaires. Besides, a speaking test was also conducted in order to get valid scores of the EFL learners` speaking achievements. The population of this research were 117 learners who have taken speaking class in the previous semester. Then, 25% of the total population were taken as the sample by using random sampling, in total of 29 learners. Furthermore, the qualitative analysis was done in investigating the factors of speaking anxiety and the language attitude. Hence, the result of this analysis shows that: (1) there are three factors of EFL speaking achievements. They are communicative apprehension, test anxiety and fear of negative evaluation. In addition, the most frequent factor that is experienced by the EFL learners is the test anxiety factors which gets 65,52% score. This score is compared to another two factors, communicative apprehension with 24,14% and fear of negative evaluation with its 10,34% scores. Then, (2) the analysis also shows that the EFL learners were having positive language attitude. It can be seen from three aspects of language attitude; the cognitive, behavioural, and affective / emotional aspects. The second analysis was done quantitatively by using SPSS Version 2.5 to answer the third research question: (3) the relation of speaking anxiety and language attitude to the EFL learners speaking achievements. Based on the analysis, it is found that the EFL speaking anxiety has a significant correlation to the learners speaking achievements by indicating the r-count 0,615 ˃ r-table 0,355. Then, the EFL learners` language attitude also significantly correlates to their speaking achievements by the score of r-count 0,417 ˃ rtable 0,355. In short, the EFL speaking achievements were significantly correlated by two-tailed Pearson`s product moment analysis to their speaking anxiety and language attitude.

On the contrary, the least values of the abovementioned parameters were usually in concomitant to T1 - Control (recommended dose) which ranked statistically last during both seasons of study.
Comparison of bone mineral density in perimenopausal women with surgical menopausal women: Analytical cross sectional study

Aim: Comparison of bone mineral density (BMD) in perimenopausal women with surgical menopausal women. Methods: The present analytical cross sectional study was conducted on patients (out patients and in patients) in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Kamla Nehru Hospital, attached to IGMC Shimla. Group 1 (N=60): Perimenopausal women aged 40-45years as control. Group 2 (N=60): Women who had undergone hysterectomy with bilateral salphingoophorectomy at least 6 month ago. BMD measurements were measured by whole body dual energy X-ray absorptiometery (DEXA), with the help of Hologic Discovery QDR machine available in department of radiology. Results: In the present study the mean age of post-surgical menopausal group was 46.0 years and in the perimenopausal group the mean age was 42.4 years. Mean parity in post-surgical menopausal group was 3.03 and 2.5 in the perimenopausal group. Conclusions: The prevalence of osteoporosis is very high in this part of India. Both perimenopausal and post-surgical menopausal women have lower levels of BMD. Bone mineral density (BMD) can be taken as a useful marker to assess and treat osteoporosis and also to prevent complications in post-menopausal women.
EFFECT OF IRRADIATION TIME ON DEPTH OF CURE, WATER SORPTION AND SOLUBILITY OF TWO BULK FILL RESIN COMPOSITES

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of irradiation time on depth of cure, water sorption and solubility of two bulk fill resin composites. Methods: A total of 40 resin composite cylinders were prepared (6mm x 4mm) and divided into 4 groups according the resin composite used; X-tra fil (VOCO) and Quixfil (DENTSPLY) and irradiation time; 10s or 20s. Top and bottom hardness were measured using Vickers microhardness tester. Depth of cure was measured using bottom / top hardness ratio. For water sorption and solubility assessment, 40 disc shaped specimens (15mm x 1mm) were prepared and tested according to the ISO 4049. Data were tabulated and statistically analyzed. Results: No significant differences were recorded between X-tra fil and Quixfil regarding depth of cure and water sorption at both irradiation times. Water sorption significantly decreased at 20s curing for both resin composites. At 10s irradiation time, X-tra fil recorded a significantly higher solubility (10.99±2.58) than 20s (6.57±1.78) and higher solubility than Quixfil (5.79±2.62). Conclusion: X-tra fil and Quixfil showed depth of cure within the acceptable threshold value. Both materials showed acceptable water sorption and solubility according to the ISO 4049 except X-tra fil showed unacceptable solubility at 10s curing. Longer irradiation time greatly improved water sorption and solubility. Both bulk fill resin composites behave similarly at longer irradiation time.

Logic vs Aesthetic: The Effect of Environmental Claim and Visual Design in Green Advertising

The surge in demand for green products leads to rampant practice of “greenwashing”, in which marketers deceitfully try to position their brand as more eco-friendly than it actually is. Past studies on green advertisements have indicated that visual cues in the advertisements can also play a part in affecting consumers’ evaluation of the product and its eco-friendly feature. This study was conducted to examine the effect of two essential elements in a green advertisement, which are the overall visual aesthetic quality of the advertisement and verbal environmental claim. The study was conducted using an experimental vignette method. Two hundred seventy-six respondents participated in this study. Through MANOVA statistical analysis, it was found that both aesthetic quality and environmental claim type used significantly affect green brand associations, as well as the attitude respondents, have towards the brand. However, this significant effect of ads visual aesthetic quality can be concerning since it might hinder consumers to objectively evaluate the environmental claim of the product.
Prostheticaly Driven Implant Placement -A Case Report

Technology has been used to change the world and to alter the manner of our existence. At present, the technological possibilities that lie ahead are also quite mind bending. The lines between "artificial" and "natural" are blurring by the day, with each new technical advancement and scientific discovery. Thus, in our field of dentistry the latest advancement is a boon to our patients. This is a case report on implant placement using 3D printed completely limiting tooth supported surgical guide with a flapless and immediate loading protocol. Dental implant has been established as one of the most predictable and conservative approaches for the rehabilitation of missing teeth. With the evolution of newer material and advancement in digital technology, especially in computed tomography, implant planning software and guided implant surgery, the outcome and success in implant dentistry have become more predictable. Computer aided design (CAD) technique is being integrated into treatment planning, and computer-assisted manufacturing (CAM) is becoming more popular for rehabilitation procedures. This case report illustrates the diagnosis, planning and application of 3D guided technology in dental implant surgery.

The effects of Fama-French five factor and momentum factor on Islamic stock portfolio excess return listed in ISSI

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of Fama-French five-factor and momentum factor on Islamic stock portfolio excess returns listed in the Indonesia Sharia Stock Index (ISSI). Methodology – This study used return data from ISSI group, starting from January 2013 to December 2017, which are then formed into time series data with excess monthly stock portfolio. This study adapted the Fama and French (2015) methodology using 2x3 and 2x2 to form the portfolio and applied Ordinary Least Square (OLS) with monthly data frequency to test the relevance of the model to the expected stock return of 183 companies. Findings – The results showed that the risk premium, the book-to-market ratio which is proxied by High Minus Low (HML), the investment that is proxied by Conservative Minus Aggressive (CMA), and the momentum which is proxied by Up Minus Down (UMD) has a positive effect on the excess return of the company's stock portfolio registered in Indonesia Sharia Stock Index (ISSI) during the period. While, the size and profitability variable do not affect the expected stock return. Research limitations – The results of this study provides relevant information about the relationship between risk and stock return using Fama and French five-factor model and momentum. However, future researchers can expand the scale of the research by adding research periods and using daily return research data. It is intended that the results are more representative of the actual market conditions at the moment. Originality – Researches on the factors that influence the selection of Islamic stock portfolios based on excess return using Fama-French five-factor including the momentum factor are still limited. This study contributes to the asset pricing development by investigating factors influencing performance of ISSI’s portfolio excess return using five-factor model and momentum factor.
Chapter 6 Disparity and Macroevolutionary Transformation of the Maniraptoran Manus

Multiple factors involved in the evolutionary transformation of the manus across the maniraptoran radiation, including its current morphology in modern birds, remain unexplored. Specifically, the morphological disparity of the manus has never been studied quantitatively, and there are no hypotheses about the possible mechanisms and constraints underlying its evolution. Morphological disparity is best studied with shape-analysis tools based on Procrustes methods, because they guarantee the independence of shape from size while depicting the results in expressive graphics. However, this methodology compares fixed configurations of coordinates, preventing their use in highly articulated and movable structures such as the maniraptoran manus. Here, we propose a new protocol, the one-dimensional Procrustes analysis (OPA), for transforming the chord lengths of these bones into unidimensional Cartesian coordinates, enabling treatment of the data under the operational advantages of the Procrustes methods. Our results applying this new method on a sample encompassing 174 maniraptoran dinosaurs manus, including 79 fossils (both avialan and nonavialan taxa) and 95 extant paleognathans and neognathans, document the morphological transition between early-diverging maniraptorans, nonavialan paravians, and birds over morphospace, highlighting an unexpectedly low disparity in the crown group when compared to early-diverging taxa. Within this transition, we show a common trend of proportional reduction and loss of distal elements, mostly in the minor and alular digits. Furthermore, our study reveals an allometric pattern characterizing manus morphological variation between early-diverging maniraptorans and enantiornithine avialans that disappears in crown birds and their closest early-diverging counterparts. This previously unnoticed allometric trend suggests a complex interplay of developmental, functional, 1 Unidad de Paleontología, Departamento de Biología, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. 2 Unidad de Paleontología, Departamento de Biología, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid; and Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford, Oxford. 3 Departamento de Geodinámica, Estratigrafía y Paleontología, Facultad de Ciencias Geológicas, Universidad Complutense de Madrid; and Departamento de Geología Sedimentaria y Cambio Medioambiental, Instituto de Geociencias (UCM, CSIC), Madrid. 4 University of Southern California, Los Angeles. 5 Dinosaur Institute, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, Los Angeles. 6 Unidad de Paleontología, Departamento de Biología, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid; and Dinosaur Institute, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, Los Angeles. 184 BULLETIN AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY NO. 440 and historical constraints in the evolution of the maniraptoran manus.

Potassium and Sodium Content of California Wines

The sodium and potassium content of 132 white table, 75 rose, 168 red table, 34 sherry, 6 white dessert and 13 ports of California was determined by flame emission photometry. The potassium values fell between 500 and 1300 mg/l. The sodium values were mainly below 100 mg/l. Only 10 of 428 wines contained more than 200 mg/l and six of these were from a single winery. The daily requirement for potassium is about 2 to 4 g and that of sodium 0.5 to 2.0 g. Wines are thus useful in the diet of individuals who must restrict sodium intake and maintain high potassium levels.

Res. Station Farm, Kafr El-Sheikh Gov. , and Egypt during two successive growing seasons (2018/019 and 2019). The experiments were conducted in split-split plot design with three replicates. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of irrigation water management and organic matter application as partial replacement of mineral fertilizers on some soil properties, yield, water productivity of sugar beet and cotton and economic returns in salt affected soil. The main investigated factors included irrigation treatments at 80, 100 and 120%, respectively from evaporation pan class A. The fertilization treatments included applying N-fertilizer at three rates of 100, 80 and 60 % N from recommended dose in combination with compost (as 0, 20 and 40%). Two levels of K-humate (12 and 24 kg ha-1) were also applied. The results showed that cation exchange capacity, soil organic matter, infiltration rate and hydraulic conductivity were influenced by all treatments and their interactions. Productivity of water or irrigation water, economic yield and net return from water unit for sugar beet and cotton were recorded the highest values with I1*N3*H2 interaction. Therefore, the irrigation and organic matter managements could be considered as a proper approach to sustain the soil and water resources in particular under salt affected soil.
Cytokine Storm in COVID-19: An Overview, Mechanism, Treatment Strategies, and Stem Cell Therapy Perspective

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the disease caused by the highly transmittable novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infections. The disease was found at the end of December 2019, in Wuhan, China, and quickly spread worldwide with a higher mortality rate compared to the previous coronavirus disease. Cytokine plays an important role in the inflammatory response against coronavirus infection. However, in severely ill patients with COVID-19, an excessive amount of cytokine serum level (cytokine storm) has been associated with the aggravation of coronavirus disease leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Thus, the management of the cytokine storm could be the key to stop COVID-19 progression. This article reviews an overview related to SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, mechanism and prospective treatment strategies for cytokine storm in COVID-19, and a viewpoint of stem cells perspective. The purpose is to provide some information that could be useful for future guidelines in the clinical management of COVID-19.
INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES TEACHERS’ PERSPECTIVE REGARDING ONLINE RISK BEHAVIORS IN SCHOOL AGE

The present study aimed to investigate primary school ICT teachers’ perceptions regarding students’ online risk behaviors and their responses to relevant hypothetical scenarios. In addition, it examined the network of relationships among ICT teachers’ perceptions and their responses to scenarios to predict their perceived likelihood of intervention. One hundred and thirty-eight (138) ICT teachers (60 men, 78 women), selected randomly from schools all over Greece, participated in the study. The sample completed a set of self-reporting questionnaires online. According to the results, ICT teachers declared that they do not feel confident to manage students’ online risk behaviors, regardless of their awareness and sensitization on the issue. The same perspective was also reflected in their responses to the scenarios. Path analyses showed that ICT teachers’ perceptions regarding this issue (e.g., high perceived awareness) directly and positively predict their perceived seriousness of the scenarios and their perceived confidence to intervene. However, ICT teachers’ likelihood of intervention in the scenarios seemed to be predicted only indirectly (and positively) by their perceptions, through how serious they perceived the scenarios to be and their self-confidence to intervene. The above findings constitute a basis for modifying/designing new training actions for ICT teachers regarding the prevention of children’s risk cyber-navigation.
Relationships between Students’ Socioeconomic Status, Parental Support, Students’ Hindering, Teachers’ Hindering and Students’ Literacy Scores: PISA 2018

This research was conducted in Turkey and it examined the relationships between fifteen-year-old students’ PISA 2018 literacy scores and student-level and school-level variables. This study aimed to examine the relationships between students’ hindering, teachers’ hindering, socioeconomic status, parental support and student achievement. The research is a correlational study. A relational screening model was used in this research. Six thousand eight hundred and ninety students from one hundred and eighty-six schools in twelve regions of the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) Level 1 joined PISA 2018 in Turkey. OECD selected these students randomly. In PISA 2018, school sampling was determined by a stratified random sampling method. Teachers’ hindering, students’ hindering questionnaires are from the school principals’ questionnaire and the parental support questionnaire was taken from the student questionnaire. Additionally, students’ genders and their socioeconomic status were taken from the background questionnaire. To analyze these variables, a hierarchic linear model was used. Multilevel structural modeling (MSEM) was selected and Bayesian estimation with latent variables was performed. There are direct relationships between students’ genders, socioeconomic status, teachers’ hindering behaviors, students’ hindering behaviors, parental support and Turkish students’ reading skill scores. There is also an indirect relationship between teachers’ hindering behavior and students’ reading skill scores via students’ hindering behavior.
