The Correlation among Reading Attitude , Interpersonal Intellegence and Reading Comprehension

Reading is one of the crucial skills to be mastered by students in Indonesia. The genre text approach is mostly implemented in each degree on formal education. This caused the redirection of teaching learning process aim, that is from mastering four English skills become more inclined in mastering reading skill. The curriculum sets the requirement of passing the final examination to step up into higher grade with a good reading score. Reading becomes interesting subject to be investigated by many researcher in Indonesia in order that teacher not only teach reading by the surface purpose of text, but make them become meaningful reading teaching learning process. Digging the inner factors to reading comprehension, this research aims are to investigate the correlation among the reading attitude, interpersonal intellegence and reading comprehension of English Education Study Program of Widya Dharma University (UNWIDHA), Klaten, Central Java, Indonesia and how those factors can theoritically has impact on creating meaningful teaching and learning of reading? This research implemented the procedure of expose de facto reasearch. Questionaires of reading attitude and interpersonal intellegence and a test of reading comprehension were administered to the sample (n=152). Perason Product-moment correlation was used to analyse the data. The result of this study showed that there was a significant correlation between the students’ reading attitude and their reading comprehension. Students with positive reading attitudes strengthen their willingness to read for more reading experience which consequently influenced their reading comprehension. The students interpersonal intellegence also associated with their reading comprehension. This intellegence brings reading to another level. The students who had more precentage of interpersonal intellegence tend to insert emptahy or feeling in a text, then reading not only for reading text but comprehending the text.
Measuring rates of phenotypic evolution and the inseparability of tempo and mode

Abstract Rates of phenotypic evolution are central to many issues in paleontology, but traditional rate metrics such as darwins or haldanes are seldom used because of their strong dependence on interval length. In this paper, I argue that rates are usefully thought of as model parameters that relate magnitudes of evolutionary divergence to elapsed time. Starting with models of directional evolution, random walks, and stasis, I derive for each a reasonable rate metric. These metrics can be linked to existing approaches in evolutionary biology, and simulations show that they can be estimated accurately at any temporal resolution via maximum likelihood, but only when that metric's underlying model is true. The estimation of generational rates of a random walk under realistic paleontological conditions is compared with simulations to that of a prominent alternative approach, Gingerich's LRI (log-rate, log-interval) method. Generational rates are estimated poorly by LRI; they often reflect sampling error more than the actual pace of change. Further simulations show that under some realistic conditions, it is simply not possible to infer generational rates from coarsely sampled populations. These modeling results indicate a complex dependence between evolutionary mode and the measurement of evolutionary rates, and that there is unlikely to be a rate metric that works well for all traits and time scales. Compilations of paleontological and phylogenetic data indicate that all of the three rate metrics derived here show some relationship with interval length. Although there is no perfect rate metric, at present the most practical choices derive from the parameters of the stasis and random walk models. The latter, called the step variance, is particularly promising as a rate metric in paleontology and comparative biology.
Corrosion-fatigue: a review of damage tolerance models

The synergistic combination of mechanical fatigue stresses and environmental agents acting together can be more detrimental than that of the summation of the contributions of each mechanism acting separately. Major attempts to understand the contribution of the different agents (microstructure, chemical composition of environment, temperature, loading conditions, etc.) have been reported in the literature. Nevertheless, current knowledge is insufficient to address life estimation with a sound physical basis from the initiation of localised corrosion (such as pitting) to the estimation of crack propagation. Major simplifications and assumptions have been required in the development of life prediction methodologies. This paper reviews recent efforts made by the different interested parties, in both academia and industry, in the development of corrosion fatigue (CF) lifetime prediction procedures. The paper mainly focuses on the methodologies proposed in the literature for oil and gas, nuclear, energy generation and aerospace applications, dealing with pitting CF damage in aluminium alloys, carbon and stainless steels. The transition of a pit into a small crack (SC) and its growth is influenced by the interaction of the pit stress/strain concentration and the local environmental conditions, making the modelling of this stage of the utmost complexity. A major trend in the models reviewed in this paper is to simplify the analysis by assuming the pit (a volumetric defect) as a sharp crack, decouple the CF problem and account for the mechanical and environmental contributions separately. These procedures heavily rely on fitting experimental data and exhibit low generality in terms of application to varying system conditions. There is a clear opportunity in this field to develop mechanistically based methodologies, considering the inherent dependence of the damage mechanism on the interaction of environmental, metallurgical and mechanical features, allowing more realistic lifetime estimates and defect tolerance arguments, where pit-to-crack transition and SC initiation stages pose a significant challenge.

ESTIMATION OF HOMOZYGOTE RECESSIVE AND HETEROZYGOUS CDK3 DISTRIBUTION IN RANDOMLY SELECTED CANCER SUBJECTS

Cdk3 is well known cell regulating protein and has prominence role in cancer development. Studies relating to different phenotypes in various cancers would estimate the frequency of distribution among Indian patients suffering from cancer. Such distribution of Cdk3 was found to be 55.5% in coastal Andhra which is homozygote recessive and 44.4% being heterozygous.
From lavage to lipids: Estimating diets of seabirds

Understanding seabird marine habitat affinities, at-sea behavior, variability in repro- ductive success, migratory patterns, phenology, and other life history traits depends primarily on knowledge of the prey that they consume. Traditionally, estimating diets has been done through classification and enumeration of prey remains found in stomach contents of seabirds collected at sea, as well as chick meals, pellets, and feces collected at breeding colonies. These techniques have the advantage of high taxonomic resolution of prey, but suffer from biases due to the under - estimation of soft-bodied or small prey that are digested completely and overestimation of prey with durable parts that are retained for long periods of time. Recent innovations in 2 biochemical assays of seabird tissues—stable isotope and fatty acid analyses—have greatly expanded knowledge of seabird diets and have advanced our understanding of the ways in which seabirds can indicate in- ter-seasonal, annual, decadal, and longer shifts in oceanographic conditions over varying spatial scales. Advances in statistical approaches to these data have provided new ways in which prey can be identified and quantified. When applied in combination, these 3 techniques (traditional diet sampling, and stable isotope and fatty acid analyses) have the potential to reveal pathways of energy flux across marine ecosystems and to provide new insight into marine ecosystem dynamics. We review the basic principles of these approaches to determining seabird diet and emphasize the need for more formal conceptual and statistical integration of methods to advance this field.
Survey on Context Aware Architecture Miss

The main characteristic of devices during a pervasive (or ubiquitous) ADP system is their context awareness that permits them to supply proactively tailored services to user and to applications consistent with the world context. So as to support the event and to ease the implementation of context-aware systems, several architectures were projected with characteristics associated with the applying domain and techniques used. A survey of such architectures that makes comparison between them and evaluates them is powerfully suggested. Projected surveys are either restricted to a restricted variety of architectures or don't provide an honest comparison or their analysis isn't supported applicable criteria that keep them as easy descriptions. Our aim is to create a survey of relevant architectures that mark the evolution of context-aware systems supported criteria associated with pervasive computing. This survey can function a guide to developers of context-aware systems and facilitate them to create subject selections.
Imaging Hilbert-Transformed Ultrasonic Data

Abstract. Automatic or semiautomatic ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation systems usually scan objects for defects by the B-scan or C-scan method. B-scan or C-scan images are used to evaluate the quality of the object. Complex ultrasonic images can be quickly and easily produced using the Hilbert transform method. Simultaneous real-time displays of the complex and C-scan images is also possible. Some characteristics of the echoes reflected from the defects do not show up clearly in C-scan images but can be easily observed in the complex ultrasonic images. Two specimens, one with a blind hole and the other with 16 blind holes, were scanned. The C-scan image and complex images were displayed simultaneously in order to compare the resolution of the images. The experimental results showed that the attributes of instantaneous amplitude can enhance the weak events, but the resolution of the image is apparently not improved. The advantage of the instantaneous phase and instantaneous frequency attributes are that they are very sensitive to the boundaries of the holes. Though the images may look noisy, they really offer an opportunity to show the holes that C-scan image cannot.
A SYSTEMIC APPROACH TO IMPROVE ACOUSTIC COMFORT

Noise in schools is a serious problem, suffered daily by lots of students and teachers. It affects teaching and learning, makes pupils concentration difficult and verbal communication unclear. In addition, noise produces discomforts and even pathological symptoms, particularly to people with hearing devices or with specific behavioural problems. Nevertheless, both media and institutions in charge of managing school facilities do not seem to take it into proper account. This paper presents a qualitative analysis of the problem, considering different types of noise in school, as well as those conditions producing or amplifying them. This work is based on the outcomes of a field research in middle schools that enlightened the noise to be one of the main issues involving school users. In conclusion, it discusses the need of the integration of different strategies and the development of multi-level interventions as a proper manner to successfully pursue the acoustic comfort improvement in existing schools.
Physician dual practice: a welfare-improving mechanism to match patients with appropriate treatment methods

In the literature, physician dual practice is argued to be a self-selecting mechanism for physicians. High skilled or selfish hospital physicians are more likely to have private practice. For developing countries, dual practice is also considered as an informal way to compensate public hospital physicians whose salary is low. However, dual practice remains a controversial issue since physicians may take advantage of hospital resources for their own interests. In this paper, we consider the question whether dual practice should be allowed in the context of the policy objective that patients should receive their care in the treatment setting that is most efficient. Hence, the focus of the paper is on patient heterogeneity and differences in the cost of care in a hospital and an outpatient setting, depending on the nature of the patient's illness. In an environment in which there is information asymmetry between doctors, on the one hand, and patients and local health authority on the other hand, we analyze equilibria in which doctors have an incentive to exploit their information advantage over patients and health authority to increase their net income. We show that, in general, such equilibria will not be economically efficient in the sense that doctors will not have an incentive to refer patients to the most efficient place of treatment. However we find allowing dual practice can lead to a second-best improvement in efficiency. Dual practice can be interpreted as an alternative mechanism for sorting patients in terms of both illness severity and switching costs.
Dermatophytes and Other Fungi Associated with Hair-Scalp of Nursery and Primary School Children in Awka, Nigeria

A total of 2,117 nursery and primary school children aged 1-13 years were surveyed for hair-scalp infection in Awka, Nigeria between January and March 2004. Specimens for mycological investigations were confirmed by microscopic examinations in 100 cases (4.7%) and the causative agents were isolated and cultured in 84 positive cases (3.9%). Zoophilic dermatophytes accounted for (42%) followed by geophilic (37%) and anthropophilic (21%) dermatophytes. Microsporum gypseum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes were the main etiologic agents. Other non-dermatophytic fungi species isolated were Alternaria alternata 14(17%), Aspergillus fumigatus 10 (12%) Fusarium solani 7 (8%), Penicillium sp 3 (4%) and Candida albicans 3 (4%).
'ANYTHING BUT KNOWLEDGE': THE CASE OF THE

This paper discusses the relationship between the political intentions of South Africa's educational policy and its educational outcomes, suggesting that the more learner-centered the curriculum and the lower the socioeconomic status of its recipients, the less likely it is to achieve its goal of social equity. The paper considers the proper relationship between the kind of knowledge formally codified in the school curriculum and the tacit knowledge which children acquire in the home, church, and street. Research indicates that while the unequal distribution of material resources make an enormous difference to student learning, the greatest obstacle to educational equity is the differential access to formal knowledge open to children of different social classes. South Africa's Curriculum 2005 is positioned at the extreme radical end of the constructivist spectrum. This involves radical curriculum integration and learning outcomes that are under-specified in terms of their knowledge content. The Ministerial Review Committee has recommended replacing the entire architecture of Curriculum 2005 because of various problems (e.g., constructivism), presenting recommendations regarding the need for national curriculum statements which specify, by learning area and grade level, what should be taught, in what sequence, and at which level of competence.

INVESTIGATION OF THE STATE ANXIETY LEVELS OF KICKBOXING COACHES ACCORDING TO CERTAIN VARIABLES

The aim of this study is to investigate the state anxiety levels experienced by kickboxing coaches according to certain variables. The population of the study consists of 84 coaches who participated in the kickboxing coaching course conducted in Elazig in 2018 while the sample of the study consists of 79 coaches who participated in this course. In the study, a personal information form to collect data from the participating coaches and the “Trait Anxiety Scale”, which was developed by Spilberger, to determine the trait anxiety levels of coaches were adopted. The adopted scale was developed by Spielberg et al. in order to determine the trait anxiety levels of individuals and it was adapted into Turkish by Oner and Le Compte (1997), which consists of 20 matters. In the analysis of the collected data in the study, parametric tests were conducted and the data was interpreted in SPSS 24.00 package software. Then, for the significant differences observed in the results of frequency distribution, arithmetic mean, percentage, t-test and One-Way ANOVA, Tukey test was conducted in order to determine which groups contained the difference. As a result of the study, for the participating coach candidates, it was determined that the individuals from the 19-21 years old group had higher levels of anxiety compared to other groups while individuals with a high school level of education and 1-4 years of experience as athletes had higher levels of anxiety compared to those with 5-9 years and 15 years or above experience as athletes.

Is Planck ’ s ConstantA Cosmological Variable ?

Within the expanding cosmic Hubble volume, Hubble length can be considered as the gravitational or electromagnetic interaction range. Product of ‘Hubble volume’ and ‘cosmic critical density’ can be called as the ‘Hubble mass’. Based on this cosmic mass unit, authors noticed five peculiar semi empirical relations in atomic, nuclear and cosmic physics. With these applications it is possible to say that – during the cosmic evolut ion, magnitude of Planck’s constant increases with increasing cosmic t ime. This may be the root cause of observed cosmic red shifts. By observing the cosmological rate of change in Planck’s constant, the future cosmic accelerat ion can be verified from the ground based laboratory experiments. With reference to the current concepts of distant and spatial variation of the fine structure ratio, variation of the planck’s constant can be considered for further analysis.

Resting and post exercise Heart Rate Variability in preobese individuals: a comparative study

Background: Several studies have documented high incidence of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders in obese individuals. However, scant and contradictory reports are available in this context for the preobese people, especially in young adults. Aims and Objectives: Therefore, present study was conducted to assess the effect of high BMI (between 24-30) on the time & frequency domain measures of HRV in normal healthy adult male subjects during resting and post exercise recovery period. Materials and Methods: Healthy young male individuals with no history of any disease were selected and divided in two groups (n=15 in each) on the basis of their BMI: (i) control (BMI 19-24) & (ii) preobese (BMI 24-30). 15-20 mins of ECG recording was done in the resting state and then till 30 mins after Harvard Step Test. Comparison between groups was done using 2-tailed Mann-Whitney U-nonparametric test. Spearman’s Correlation test was used to assess the correlation between BMI and HRV parameters for each group. Results: During resting state, both groups had similar HRV/min. However, control subject had higher parasympathetic tone (high RMSSD, pNN50 & HF) and low sympathetic tone (low LF & LF/HF) as compared to preobese individuals. In the post exercise recovery period of control BMI individuals, all the indices of sympathetic measures increased and parasympathetic measures decreased significantly. However, no such changes were observed in preobese group, except significant decrease in the HRV/min. Conclusions: The blunted autonomic response in the post exercise recovery clearly indicates towards a potential risk of cardiovascular compromise in preobese individuals.

THE DEPENDENCE STRUCTURE BETWEEN THE MONTHLY MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM BAROMETRIC DATA IN IRAN

In choosing the right copula, existing methods pose numerous difficulties and none is entirely satisfactory. In this study, the main endeavor is to propose a simple and reliable method to select the right copula family that fits the best to data. In this new method, standard goodness of fit test statistic value is posed as a function of copula parameters and then the main problem is to investigate the minimum value of this function. Hereby an estimation of copula parameters are in the minimum point of the mentioned function and also by minimum value of the mentioned function we are able to find the right copula that is the best to data. With an empirical example the new method will be compared with results of the maximum likelihood estimation and also the nonparametric method proposed by Genest and Rivest (1993).
