Positive Connection of Extensive Reading and Writing Fluency in EFL Learning

Extensive reading and writing fluency in language learning get connected to each other. The benefits include gains in reading and writing competence and skills. However, how far they get connected in EFL learning has not been discussed so far. This study examined the connection of extensive reading and writing fluency of the thirty-two students of the English Education Department at a university in Palangka Raya Kalimantan Tengah Indonesia. The correlational design was applied in this study. The online Extensive Reading Test (ERT) developed by Extensive Reading Foundation was used to get the students' extensive reading scores. To gain the students' writing fluency scores, a Writing Fluency Test (WFT) was applied. For the data analysis, it used Pearson product-moment correlation. Results show that there is a moderate positive correlation between the students' extensive reading and writing fluency. It is indicated with rxy = 0.408 > rtable = 0.340 at 5%. In short, the extensive reading activities have a positive connection to the writing fluency of the students in language learning. Therefore, extensive reading activities should always be integrated with writing activities in the context of Indonesian EFL learning.

Enhanced methanol sensing properties of SnO2 microspheres in a composite with Pt nanoparticles

SnO2 microspheres in a composite with Pt nanoparticles (0, 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 5.0 mol% Pt loading) were synthesized by a solvothermal method. The crystal structure, morphology, and specific surface area were thoroughly characterized. It is found that the Pt–SnO2 nanocomposites consist of a large amount of small spheres with average diameters up to hundreds of nanometers, and every small sphere is composed of numerous primary nanocrystallites with an average size of about 8 nm. Compared with the pristine SnO2, the presence of Pt nanoparticles has no influence on the growth behavior of the SnO2 microspheres. The gas sensors based SnO2 microspheres in a composite with Pt nanoparticles not only show a lower operating temperature and immensely enhanced responses, but also exhibit a faster response and recovery speeds and remarkable stability to methanol, especially the 5.0 mol% Pt–SnO2 nanocomposite. The gas sensor based on the 5.0 mol% Pt–SnO2 nanocomposite exhibits a response value of 190.88 to 100 ppm methanol at a low operating temperature of 80 °C, while the gas sensor based on pristine SnO2 only displayed a response value of 19.38 at an operating temperature of 200 °C. The reasonable explanation of the gas-sensing performance enhancement for the gas sensors based on Pt–SnO2 nanocomposites is attributed to the strong spillover effect of the Pt nanoparticles and the electronic interaction between Pt nanoparticles and SnO2 microspheres, both of which promoted the low temperature gas-sensing performance.
A Novel Nomogram for Predicting Survival in Patients with Severe Acute Pancreatitis: An Analysis Based on the Large MIMIC-III Clinical Database

Background Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) can cause various complications. Septic shock is a relatively common and serious complication that causes uncontrolled systemic inflammatory response syndrome, which is one of the main causes of death. This study aimed to develop a nomogram for predicting the overall survival of SAP patients during the initial 24 hours following admission. Materials and Methods All the data utilized in this study were obtained from the MIMIC-III (Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III) database. The data were analyzed using multivariate Cox regression, and the performance of the proposed nomogram was evaluated based on Harrell's concordance index (C-index) and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). The clinical value of the prediction model was tested using decision-curve analysis (DCA). The primary outcomes were 28-day, 60-day, and 90-day mortality rates. Results The 850 patients included in the analysis comprised 595 in the training cohort and 255 in the validation cohort. The training cohort consisted of 353 (59.3%) males and 242 (40.7%) females with SAP. Multivariate Cox regression showed that weight, sex, insurance status, explicit sepsis, SAPSII score, Elixhauser score, bilirubin, anion gap, creatinine, hematocrit, hemoglobin, RDW, SPO2, and respiratory rate were independent prognostic factors for the survival of SAP patients admitted to an intensive care unit. The predicted values were compared using C-indexes, calibration plots, integrated discrimination improvement, net reclassification improvement, and DCA. Conclusions We have identified some important demographic and laboratory parameters related to the prognosis of patients with SAP and have used them to establish a more accurate and convenient nomogram for evaluating their 28-day, 60-day, and 90-day mortality rates.

Introduction: King Abdulaziz University, in the Western Province of Saudi Arabia, in collaboration with King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University, has had a pediatric otolaryngology fellowship program in place since 2013, but no clear competency surgical caseload has been identified. Objective: To review the surgical load at the otolaryngology department in Saudi Arabia and to compare the currently implemented fellowship program with international standards. Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study performed in King Abdulaziz University (KAU) hospital and King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University hospital. The number of otolaryngology surgeries was collected from the hospitals’ medical records for all patients Results: The average annual number of procedures performed versus benchmarks were 10.2 Vs. 20 for congenital anomalies procedures (p=0.003), 15.7 Vs. 12 for head and neck surgeries (p=0.231), 3.4 Vs. 30 for otology procedures (p 3 years (p Conclusion: The number of surgical endoscopic airway procedures and head and neck surgeries meets the international benchmarks, whereas procedures of congenital anomalies, otology, rhinology and facial plastics do not meet the international benchmarks within a single year, so a reduction of the two-year fellowship to one year would not be appropriate.
Analysis of magnetic transitions through the magnetoimpedance effect

The temperature dependence of the magnetoimpedance effect represents a powerful research tool in the analysis of those magnetic transitions associated with changes in the magnetic permeability of the system. Both, in the low frequency region (magnetoinductance effect) and in the higher frequency regime where the skin effect takes place, the AC complex impedance, Z, is mainly determined by the transverse magnetic permeability. Thus, its temperature dependence and its evolution under applied external magnetic field, Z(T, H), are directly correlated with the temperature dependence of the basic magnetic parameters, in particular, the magnetic permeability of the system. In this work, this AC magnetotransport effect has been employed to analyse the characteristic transition in two magnetic systems: (i) the magnetic transition in Fe based soft magnetic nanocrystalline alloys associated with the decoupling of the ferromagnetic crystallites around the Curie point of the residual amorphous phase; (ii) the martensitic transformation in ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (NiMnGa), from a highly anisotropic martensite phase to the austenite phase. The results indicate the suitability of this simple AC magnetotransport technique to analyse the main features of the characteristic magnetic transition of these systems.
ANALYSIS OF FACTORS AFFECTING THE USE OF CASHLESS MOBILE PAYMENT IN MILLENIAL GENERATIONS OF BATAM CITY

The purpose of this study is to determine the factors or influences that lead to the use of cashless mobile payments on the Batam millennial generation. The number of electronic-based payment media provided is expected to be able to create payment transactions that are practical, efficient, safe and encourage the creation of a Less Cash Society (LCS). When compared to Indonesia with other ASEAN countries, the level of use of electronic-based payments in the community is still low. Generation Y or the Millennial generation (15 to 39 years) in 2017 showed a figure of 40.29% or as many as 105,520,300 individuals from 261,890,900 Indonesians considered to have the potential to increase the use of electronic-based payments and encourage public awareness of LCS. The intention to use cashless mobile payments is the dependent variable. Attitudes, behavioral beliefs, financial costs, security and social influence act as independent variables for this study. Determination of the research object was carried out by purposive sampling method, namely the millennial generation (15 to 39 years) in Batam. Research data collection is based on the questionnaire method, namely electronic and online questionnaires with 230 collected data. The research data were analyzed through multiple regression analysis using SSPSS. The results obtained indicate that the variables of attitude, security and social influence have a significant positive effect on the intention to use cashless mobile payment, while the variables of behavioral beliefs and financial costs do not have a significant effect on the intention to use cashless mobile payments.
Effects of Drought Stress on Yield and Yield Attributing Characters of Wheat: A Review

With the change in climate patterns, the world is encountering the threat of drought. Since major wheat-producing countries are situated in drier parts of the world anddepend on monsoon rain for wheat cultivation so drought is becoming a serious drawbackfor wheat production.In this review, previous works were assessed to explore the effects of drought stress on yield and yield-attributing characters of wheat. The plant modifies its physio-chemical processes in response to moisture deficiencyso the yield attributing characters like plant height, spike length, no. of spikes per unit area, no. of spikelets/spike, no. of grains/spike, biomass yield, harvest index, test weight, etc. are affected ultimately reducing the grain yield. The extent of loss of yield differs among genotypes and the developmental stages of the crop and is characterized by various soil, plant, andenvironmental factors. Owing to the alliance of yield with the genetic make-up of the crop, drought stress, and its effect are not the concern of only agronomists but rather also of plant breeders.Wheat is the backbone of various food-based and feed-based industries so the enhancement in the production of wheat is a must for the sustainability of the growing population. The article exclusively focuses on the hazards of drought on yield and yieldattributing factors as it is the major concern of many present-day breeders as well as world leaders.
Caregiver burden and resilience in family members of alcohol dependence patients: a study in rural South India

Objectives: Alcohol dependence is a detrimental disease to a person, family, and society. Family support is intrinsically essential for the successful treatment of an alcohol-dependent patient. Family members face substantial subjective and objective crisis as their caretakers. We aimed to determine the extent of burden and resilience among the caregivers of Alcohol dependent patients and the correlation between the two determinants. Methodology: A cross-sectional, observational study enrolling 101 Alcohol Dependence Syndrome (ADS) patients was performed. Valid scales namely the Burden Scale for Family Caregivers (BSFC), Severity of Alcohol Dependence Questionnaire (SADQ), and Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) was administered. The data collected were statistically analysed using SPSS 16. Results: Majority of patients, 46.53% were Moderately dependent, 60.40% of the caregivers faced Moderate burden and 56.44% of them showed lower resilience. Correlation between caregiver burden and severity of dependence showed that the majority -45.90% faced a moderate burden with Severe dependence. Co-relation of caregiver resilience with Caregiver Burden showed that 29.12% scored
Influence of emotional intelligence and level of education on academic procrastination among undergraduate and postgraduate students

Procrastination is a rampant problem faced by a significant proportion of the student population and has adverse effects on academic achievement and various life outcomes. A deeper understanding of procrastination behaviours suggests toward several emotional correlates as factors underlying procrastination tendencies as opposed to the commonly held notions which explain procrastination as failures surrounding self-discipline and time management. The aim of the current study was to understand the influence of emotional intelligence on academic procrastination among undergraduate and postgraduate students. The study was conducted on 365 female undergraduate and postgraduate students. Data was gathered using the ‘Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale’ and the ‘Academic Procrastination Scale’. Two-Way ANOVA was run on the scores obtained to study the influence of emotional intelligence and level of education on academic procrastination. Consistent with some previous findings, the findings of the current study suggest that emotional intelligence has a significant influence on academic procrastination among students. However, no significant differences in the influence were found between the two groups implying that the influence of emotional intelligence on academic procrastination does not depend on the level of education.
Rootstock Genotypes Shape the Response of cv. Pinot gris to Water Deficit

Understanding the physiological basis underlying the water stress responses in grapevine is becoming increasingly topical owing to the challenges that climate change will impose to grapevine agriculture. Here we used cv. Pinot gris (clone H1), grafted on a series of tolerant (1103Paulsen; P), sensitive (SO4) and recently selected (Georgikon28; G28, Georgikon121; G121, Zamor17; Z17) rootstocks. Plants were either subjected to reduced water availability (WS) or maintained at pot capacity (WW). Photosynthetic (light response curves), stomatal and in vivo gas exchange analysis were carried out as well as dynamics of daily water use (WU), leaf area accumulation with affordable RGB imaging pipelines and leaf water potential. Significant genotypic variation was recorded between rootstocks for most of the traits analyzed under optimal conditions with P and SO4 showing a more vigorous growth, higher CO2 assimilation rate, stomatal conductance and stomatal density per unit of leaf area than G28, G121, Z17 (p < 0.001). Under WS, rootstocks induced different water stress response in Pinot gris, with G28 and G121 showing a higher sensitivity of water use to reduced water availability (WS) (p = 0.021) and no variation for midday leaf water potential until severe WS. P, Z17 and to some extent SO4 induced a pronounced near-anisohydric response with a general WU maintenance followed by reduction in leaf water potential even at high levels of soil water content. In addition, G28 and G121 showed a less marked slope in the linear relationship between daily water use and VPD (p = 0.008) suggesting elevated sensitivity of transpiration to evaporative demand. This led to an insensitivity for total dry weight biomass of G28 and G121 under WS conditions (p < 0.001). This work provides: (i) an in-depth analysis for a series of preferable traits under WS in Pinot gris; (ii) a characterization of Pinot gris × rootstock interaction and a series of desirable traits under WS induced by several rootstocks; (iii) the potential benefit for the use a series of affordable methods (e.g., RGB imaging) to easily detect dynamic changes in biomass in grapevine and quickly phenotype genotypes with superior responses under WS. In conclusion, the near-isohydric and conservative behavior observed for G28 and G121 coupled with their low vigor suggest them as potential Pinot gris rootstock candidates for sustaining grapevine productivity in shallow soils likely to develop terminal stress conditions.
Optimization of Phenolic Compounds Extraction from Algerian Inula vicosa (L.) Aiton leaves

Extraction of polyphenols from Inula viscosa (L.) leaves has been studied using water as a green solvent. Optimization of the process was performed using response surface methodology (RSM) in order to investigate the effects of three operating parameters, temperature, solid to liquid ratio and stirring speed (ω) in the following ranges : (28-56 ° C), (2-58 g.L -1 ) and (60-341 rpm), respectively. The efﬁciency of extraction was assessed by measuring polyphenols, flavonoids, and anthocyanins contents as well as antiradical activity. The conditions optimizing the yield of polyphenols and antiradical activity were established (T=50°C, S/L= 3 g.L -1 , ω= 217 rpm). Under these conditions, polyphenols content was estimated to 291 mg GAE . g DW -1 , and antiradical power was 83%. Purification of the extract obtained under these optimal extraction conditions increased the antiradical activity to 90%. This antiradical activity is medium (Antiradical efficiency = 10 -3 g DPPH°. (mg AO. min) -1 ) with antioxidant characteristics (IC50= 5µg.mL -1 , EC50 = 125 mg AO. (g DPPH°) -1 and TEC50 = 8min) comparable to those of powerful antioxidants. These results are very promising especially as antioxidant phenolic compounds have beneficial effects on health, and can find major applications in food and pharmaceutical products.

Optimization of oil extraction from Pitanga (Eugenia uniflora L.) leaves using simplex centroid design

ABSTRACT Simplex centroid design (SCD) was employed to optimize the mixing of petroleum ether, n-hexane, methanol and ethanol for the extraction of oil (PLO) from Pitanga (Eugenia uniflora L.) leaves, via Soxhlet extraction. The highest yield (54%) of Pitanga leaf oil (PLO) was obtained with 100% ethanol and the lowest yield (16%) from the mixture of methanol (33.3%)/hexane (33.3%)/ethanol (33.3%). The coefficient of determination (R2) of the model equation obtained was 0.91, while the adjusted R2 and predicted R2 were 0.8729 and 0.951, respectively. The saponification value (S.V.), iodine value, acid value and free fatty acid (FFA) are 35.34 mgKOH/g, 72.97 mgI2/g oil, 32.41 and 16.30 mgKOH/g, respectively.
Family System Functioning in Caring for Thai Survivors with Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

Objective: This study aimed to describe family system functioning, in providing care for a family member, after surviving a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Material and Methods: A cross sectional survey, using a self-report questionnaire, was conducted with 77 family members; from 32 families, caring for survivors from one province in southern Thailand. Family system functioning was measured using the Family Assessment Measure III (FAM-III) General Scale, Thai version as well as a demographic questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were applied to analyze family functioning including means, standard deviation, percentage and T-scores.Results: The findings showed that the overall family system functioning existed within the moderate level (M=49.94, S.D. =8.99). The finding also indicated moderate levels of functioning within the FAM III subscales.Conclusion: The present findings provide evidence that family systems functioning was at a moderate level in those providing care for a family member who had sustained a severe TBI. This level of function might pose difficulty regarding ability of the family towards a variety of basic, developmental and crisis tasks. The investigation suggests a future study, complementing quantitative methods with qualitative approaches.
