Learning Preferences among Medical and Physical Therapy Students: A Systematic Review
Authors: Ali Sarwat , Ahmad Ashfaq , Munawar Arooj , Waqas Muhammad
Published: December 2021

Learning style is known as affective, cognitive, physiological, or combined characteristics which indicate the ways through which students interact, respond and understand the learning environment. A systematic review was conducted with relevant literature from 2012 to 2021 by hand searching and from electronic databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, ProQuest, and Eric) with proper search strategy as Boolean operator. They were searched using the keywords ‘allied health students’ ‘learning style’, ‘medical students’, ‘MBBS students’ and ‘physical therapy students OR physiotherapists’. Out of 1027 studies, only 16 potentially relevant articles were included in this review. This study reflected undergraduate physical therapy and MBBS students from various countries and their most preferred learning style is kinaesthetic and activist which states learning is based on experiments, hands-on practice, audio-visual lectures, teaching sessions in a new environment allowing students to analyze and synthesize theories. However, students require adaptable, educative, and assessment strategies as they have different learning styles.

Published: December 2021

Objective: To compare oral stereognostic proficiency scores between new and previous complete denture wearers. Study design and study settings: This cross-sectional study design was conducted at Armed Forces Institute of Dentistry, Rawalpindi. Methodology: Total 60 patients belonging to age group of 45–75 years were selected from the study setting. Oral stereognostic proficiency was recorded by using different oral stereognostic intra oral testing tools and scores were noted. Data analysis was done using SPSS (version 20) software. Independent sample t-test was used to compare the scores of new and old previous complete denture wearers. Effect modifier like gender was rectified by method of stratification. Post stratification independent sample t-test was applied and p value of 0.05 or less was considered to be significant. Results: The mean age of patients was 59.8+7.85 years. Previous complete denture wearers were found to have a higher value as compared to the new complete denture wearers. Significant difference between both groups according to age was found with older individuals having a lower stereognostic value than younger individuals. Conclusions: Oral stereognostic test is a dependable test to measure patients’ oral stereognostic perception which can help the dentist in better educating the patient in terms of his/her expectations regarding the prosthesis and in better understanding the limitations of the prosthesis

Authors: Gulyaev Mikhail Dmitrievich
Published: December 2021

The article is devoted to a study on the impact of general and special physical training on the process of stage training of athletes. The author analyzed the development of the process of training athletes in the context of physical culture and sports. The article analyzes and discloses the main tasks of general physical training and the dynamics of passing the standards of the OFP and SFP at the stages of sports training, in accordance with the requirements of the FSSP in percentage ratio for three years. In the article, the author gives a generalized characteristic of the basis for the education of physical qualities and for the physical training of the athlete, resulting from specific laws of sports improvement. In general, the author concludes that one of the main features is that the athlete’s physical training organically combines her two sides of general and special physical training. Thus, in general, the use of the described techniques can be useful to physical education teachers and sports coaches in order to increase the professional training of teachers.

Home-spun songs of the subaltern: Writing race in fiction
Authors: Stringer Mary-Ellen
Published: December 2021

Reams of words have already been written on (the bodies of) the marginalised. I argue that the language we use to tell stories of difference has become so saturated with overdetermined and proscriptive meaning that its efficacy in articulating the complexity of life at the margins has been compromised. Language, both academic and creative, has absorbed a sophisticated, quasi-religious trope that is shot through with images and references to ‘the sacred’, and while purporting to ‘help’ serves to further silence the lived experience of whole sections of the community already struggling to be heard. My aim is to mine a seam of language from the collective imagination that will depict aspects of the real and the now that remain for the most part unspoken, if not unspeakable.
Clarifying creative nonfiction through the personal essay
Authors: Freeman Robin , Le Rossignol Karen
Published: December 2021

In a recent issue of TEXT, Matthew Ricketson sought to clarify the ‘boundaries between fiction and nonfiction’. In his capacity as a teacher of the creative nonfiction form he writes, ‘I have lost count of the number of times, in classes and in submitted work, that students have described a piece of nonfiction as anovel’. The confusion thus highlighted is not restricted to Ricketson’s journalism students. In our own university’s creative writing cohort, students also struggle with difficulties in melding the research methodology of the journalist with the language and form of creative writing required to produce nonfiction stories for a 21st century readership. Currently in Australia creative nonfiction is enthusiastically embraced by publishers and teaching institutions. Works of memoir proliferate in the lists of mainstream publishers, as do anthologies of the essay form. During a time of increasing competition and desire for differentiation between institutions, when graduate outcomes form a basis for marketing university degrees, it is hardly surprising that, increasingly, tertiary writing teachers focus on this genre in their writing programs. A second tension has arisen in higher education more generally, which affects our writing students’ approaches to tertiary study. The student writers of the 21st century emerge from a digitally literate and socially collaborative generation: the NetGen(eration). From a learner-centric viewpoint, they could be described as time-poor, and motivated by work-integrated learning with its perceived close links to workplace contexts and to writing genres. They seek just-in-time learning to meet their immediate employment needs, which inhibits the development of their capacity to adapt their researching and writing to various genres and audiences. This article examines issues related to moving these NetGen student writers into the demanding and rapidly expanding creative nonfiction market. It is form rather than genre that denotes creative nonfiction and, we argue, it is the unique features of the personal essay, based as it is on doubt, discovery and the writer’s personal voice that can be instrumental in teaching creative nonfiction writing to our digitally and socially literate cohort of students.
Supervising life-writing of trauma in a tertiary setting
Authors: Joseph Sue
Published: December 2021

This paper seeks to interrogate some of the ethical and procedural concerns that arise from supervising students who create literary artifact by drawing on personal trauma, specifically in the writing of sexual abuse and death of the‘other’. One of the burgeoning impulses in creative nonfiction is the chronicling of personal tragedy in memoir. Literary enterprises such as this raise ethical questions for student authors and the academics who supervise their projects.Much has been written in mainstream media about ethical transgression purporting to the veracity of memoir texts but little theory has been produced within academia in addressing the ethical and pedagogical tensions constellating the supervision of life writing on trauma, and how to navigate these. This paper will contribute to the ongoing discussions around the theory and praxis of the autobiographical ‘I’ and the minimisation and management of potential harm that can result from retelling trauma narratives.

Drawing on two case studies demonstrating a problematic then relatively smooth trajectory in supervising creative projects of memoir, this paper posits a comparative supervision pedagogy and outcome as a study in the refinement of professional practice.
History and Postmemory in Contemporary Vietnamese Writing
Authors: Cole Catherine , Berry Marsha
Published: December 2021

In this paper we argue that there are many ways in which history is embedded in a

country’s fiction—many of them offering questions rather than answers about a

country’s creative practices. In Vietnam it seems inevitable that the war against

America and her allies would shape the nation’s creative writing. But is this the case?

And what of the ways in which later generations have reacted to the war? In Vietnam

and Australia this shared history has played out differently, not least in a postmemory

dialogue between a generation who remembers too much and a generation who

remembers too little.
Listening to Language and the Practice of Literature
Authors: Cook Jon
Published: December 2021

Taking Heidegger’s thought about listening to language as a starting point the

argument explores some contrasting ideas about reading literature and the ways in

which it might interact with the practice of creative writing. While recommending a

kind of reading based in criticism rather than critique, the essay goes on to an

assessment of some of the obstacles that stand in the way of realising this possibility.
Writing with Two Languages
Authors: Cruz Isagani R.
Published: December 2021

Many writers speak or read more than one language, and many write in more than

one. Literary critics are now trying to systematize thinking about literary texts that

use more than one language. Creative Writing teachers will do well to recognize the

linguistic and cultural resources available to students who know a language or

languages other than their mother tongues.
New Directions in Music Video: Vincent Moon and the ‘ascetic aesthetic’
Authors: Munt Alex
Published: December 2021

This article takes the form of a case study on the work of French filmmaker and music

video director Vincent Moon, and his ‘Takeaway Shows’ at the video podcast site _La

Blogothèque_. This discussion examines the state, and status, of music video as a

dynamic mode of convergent screen media today. It is argued that the recent shift of

music video online represents a revival of music video—its form and aesthetics—

together with a rejuvenation of music video scholarship. The emergence of the ’ascetic

aesthetic’ is offered as a new paradigm for music video far removed from that of the

postmodern MTV model. In this context, new music video production intersects with

notions of immediacy, authenticity and globalised film practice. Here, convergent

music video is enabled by the network of Web 2.0 and facilitated by the trend towards

amateur content, participatory media and Creative Commons licensing. The

pedagogical implications of teaching new music video within screen media arts

curricula is highlighted as a trajectory of this research.
Beyond the frame: researching documentary ethics
Authors: Nash Kate
Published: December 2021

Questions of ethics remain central to documentary practice and scholarship. In spite of

the growth of literature dealing with the subject, documentary ethics remains a field

characterised by a focus on crises and the application of multiple ethical theories and

concepts. This discussion considers the empirical study of documentary practice as a

foundation for ethical discussion. Give the changing nature of documentary it is

suggested that a notion of good practice can best be developed by considering the

experiences of those involved.

Beyond the Frame is an ongoing research project that seeks to understand the

experience of documentary participants and the relationship they develop with

documentary filmmakers. As more filmmakers embrace interactive modes of

documentary the relationship they develop with participants becomes critical to ethical

discussion. This paper will present the results of studies completed to date and outline

some future directions.
Dead but still/moving—the slide show and documentary, a space between photography and cinema
Authors: Taylor Andrew
Published: December 2021

From magic lantern shows to PowerPoint presentations, the slide show has cast a long

shadow on documentary film. In the 1880s the New York Police reporter, Jacob Riis,

barnstormed America with magic lantern images of urban poverty, hoping to rouse

sympathies and eventual relief for the city’s underclass. In mid 2006, _An Inconvenient

Truth_, a documentary woven around Al Gore’s slide show PowerPoint presentation,

screened to audiences around the world. This article examines links between the slide

show and documentary. It argues that this connection is illuminating in thinking about

the relationship between stillness, movement, cinema and photography. It also argues

that a characteristic of ‘slide show documentaries’ is their preoccupation with time,

memory, mortality and death.
The ASPERA digital online archive/repository: key issues facing the contemporary moving image archive
Authors: Wilson Rachel
Published: December 2021

I have been conducting research into the feasibility of (and developing the schema for)

the establishment of an online digital archive/repository designed to house the screen

production and research outputs of the staff and students of Australian Screen

Production Education and Research Association (ASPERA) member institutions. In

conducting this research a number of significant issues facing the archive sector as a

whole, and moving image archives in particular, have been identified. As all

information agencies begin to grapple with the logistical issues emerging from the

impending ‘digital deluge’ the very nature of the role that the moving image archive

plays within the contemporary audio-visual landscape is under increasing scrutiny. The

sheer volume of data produced with each ‘born digital’ audio-visual title means the

issues of collection policy and curatorship, search-ability and accessibility together

with preservation strategy become even more imperative. This paper articulates the

rationale behind the project and identifies a number of the historical, theoretical,

philosophical perspectives (and challenges) underpinning the notion of the

contemporary moving image archive with particular reference as to how these bear

influence on the establishment of the ASPERA online digital archive/repository.

Designing Applied Linguistics Course for a Postgraduate Class: A Case Study in Literature Major
Authors: Tehseem Tazanful , Masood Tarim , Masood Muarifa , Jaffar Azmat
Published: December 2021

The present research aims at designing an applied linguistics course for the students of literature at the post-graduate level. The inclines of English linguistics and literature are: One is related to the immaculate hypothetical evidence, while the other is related to culture, society, and art, and the various results it can envision, which brings it under a specific arrangement. In this study, the researcher refines different hypotheses and theories instead of the issue of further developing exercises and instruction modules. Content Analysis by Harold Lasswell has been used as a tool for data collection and the framework applied for this study is Syllabus Designing by David Nunan because to design a course, syllabus designers animate the feelings, needs, and musings of their students by engaging them in different activities. This can occur if instructors separately investigate standards and examinations with abilities. They, at that point, then made an English Literature class that would be met with a course in building hypotheses, methods, and theories about their experience and the discoveries of their associates (e.g., Nunan, Widdowson, Candlin, Carter, etc.) in attempting to concentrate in this new era. By then, they are associated and adjusted to the English (literature) courses of consenting to the writer's experience and consenting to the requests of certain researchers (e.g. Pennycook in Critical applied Linguistics). The purpose of the researcher is to give direction on how this is accomplished. The study is limited to the students of English Literature at the postgraduate level only. The result shows that a teacher who knows about the reasoning for the plan of the schedule can show what, why, when, where, and how much for the class to instruct much better and all the more proficiently. The research is intended to direct teachers to a basic appraisal of thoughts and the educated application regarding their study halls.

La información viral. Estudio del caso del cierre temporal de elBulli
Authors: Acosta Yanet , Canavilhas João , Gosciola Vicente
Published: December 2021

Internet y las redes sociales han impulsado nuevas fórmulas de distribución de la información, que han sido aprovechadas especialmente por profesionales del marketing para crear el marketing viral. Sin embargo, estos procesos de redistribución de la información no son ajenos a las noticias periodísticas. En este artículo se investigan las fórmulas virales de difusión de la información, a través del estudio del caso concreto del anuncio del cierre temporal de elBulli, que en un blog de The New York Times (NYT) se dio falsamente como cierre definitivo. El objetivo es conocer los procesos de distribución y las fórmulas para atajar o reconducir este tipo de contagios de noticias o informaciones no contrastadas, o falsas, en aras de la calidad informativa y periodística. La información viral falsa se expande a gran velocidad por la Red, cuando parte de medios con cabecera reconocida, como NYT. El efecto viral se potencia cuando esta información es redistribuida por las agencias de noticias. Desmentir esta información es una acción propia de la comunicación de crisis. En este caso, Ferran Adrià utilizó los medios tradicionales para desmentirla y ofreció una noticia nueva (la creación de elBulli Foundation) para posicionar la información real frente a la falsa en la Red. Y aunque el desmentido hubiese sido más rápido, global y efectivo si el protagonista de la noticia hubiese utilizado además de los medios tradicionales, las redes sociales, su respuesta también surtió efecto en Internet.
La paradoja entre democracia e identidad en América Latina
Authors: Bastías Arias Sebastián
Published: December 2021

Existe una peligrosa tendencia dominante hoy en día que consiste en considerar la democracia de una forma que la identifica casi exclusivamente con el triunfo del confuso concepto de identidad universal- casi como un imaginario de ciudadano universal- y la defensa de los derechos humanos, dejando a un lado el elemento de la soberanía popular, juzgándolo como un elemento obsoleto.  Esto ha creado las condiciones para un déficit democrático que, dado el papel central desempeñado por la idea de soberanía popular en el imaginario democrático, ha tenido efectos devastadores sobre la lealtad entre identidad, ciudadanía e instituciones democráticas en Latinoamérica. A través de este planteamiento se desarrolla este planteamiento teórico.
Relaciones entre periodismo y literatura: fusión sin confusión

Las relaciones diacrónicas y sincrónicas entre la cultura literaria y la cultura periodística describen un objeto de conocimiento que debe ser abordado desde una perspectiva interdisciplinaria, puesto que es un ámbito donde concurren las ciencias sociales, los medios de comunicación y el arte, así como en el caso particular que aquí se aborda, la literatura. Periodismo y Literatura, como disciplinas humanísticas, cada una con su propio pasado y presente van a la par con el cambio, por lo que están en continua evolución y transformación, y en su camino nos descubren los límites entre nuevas formas de expresión.
Empleo del marketing… ¿La solución?
Authors: Seguí León Gladys Caridad
Published: December 2021

La realización de este trabajo demuestra lo necesario que se hace en nuestro país el empleo de las técnicas del marketing social para el enfrentamiento a temas tan sensible como la violencia intrafamiliar. Como a pesar de los tantos esfuerzos realizados en la búsqueda de alternativas para combatirla, la violencia intrafamiliar ejercida por el hombre hacia la mujer en el seno de la familia, dentro de la comunidad en ocasiones permanece invisibilizada y la mujer  no se acerca a solicitar ayuda a las autoridades pertinentes. De acuerdo con las culturas y respetando las características de las comunidades, es necesario establecer un plan de marketing social para potenciar el acercamiento de las mujeres que son víctimas de violencia intrafamiliar a la Casa de Orientación a la Mujer y la Familia (COMF). Este tipo de atenciones y orientación  en Cuba son absolutamente gratuitas, sin embargo hay elementos que se nos van quedando de la mano como la orientación familiar, el desarrollo  local y la cultura de la región. Es importante realizar un estudio periódico al desarrollo de la violencia dentro de las comunidades y plantarse el empleo del marketing social como alternativa para disminuirla u orientar a la mujer debidamente, pues la totalidad de los estudios sobre el tema de la violencia intrafamiliar no incluyen al marketing social para dar solución a este flagelo. A pesar del tratamiento que se le brinda al tema y el empleo de los medios de comunicación masiva en la búsqueda de soluciones, no se ha logrado dar freno a un fenómeno que se extiende dentro de nuestra sociedad cobrando  auge, quizás debamos replantearnos si el camino que seguimos es el indicado.
El diseño web como factor de integración de las personas con discapacidad
Authors: Madrigal Barrón Patricia , Carrillo Pascual Elena , Puebla Martínez Belén
Published: December 2021

La diversidad caracteriza a los seres humanos. Como aluden los dichos antiguos, cada uno somos un mundo y colores hay para cada uno. Ésta es una premisa que no debe olvidarse en diseño. Es fundamental adaptarse a la diversidad humana, fomentando la accesibilidad y el diseño para todos.El término accesibilidad se ha utilizado con frecuencia en arquitectura y urbanismo, pero menos familiarizados estamos con hacer de Internet un entorno de uso universal. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar la importancia de diseñar cumpliendo las Directrices de Accesibilidad para el Contenido en la Web del W3C, que permiten a las personas con discapacidad acceder fácilmente a la información web. Se hará un estudio de las pautas que marcan estas Directrices, los beneficios de fomentar su aplicación y se mostrarán buenas prácticas, ejemplo de un camino a recorrer diseñado teniendo en cuenta a todas las personas, independientemente de las capacidades funcionales que presenten, porque sólo así trabajaremos en pro de la igualdad y la integración.
La Acción Simbólica de Günter Brus
Authors: Fernández Celia
Published: December 2021

Simbólica aplicada, analiza los símbolos y las metáforas que crean los artistas en sus obras, como reflejo de las condiciones sociales, políticas, ideológicas y psicológicas de la sociedad a la que pertenecen. Cada cultura y cada persona dentro de ella, utiliza todo el repertorio sensorial para comunicar mensajes: gesticulaciones manuales, expresiones faciales, posturas corporales, lágrimas y movimientos coordinados con los demás. Desde la perspectiva de Victor Turner, antropólogo simbólico, no se debe conceptualizar a los símbolos como objetos, sino como instrumentos para la acción, dentro de un contexto, en el marco de los procesos sociales  (entre ellos los rituales) y de los procesos culturales. Los símbolos aparecen, entonces, como componentes de la acción social, vinculados a los intereses humanos, propósitos, fines, medios, aspiraciones, ideales individuales y colectivos y como recursos de creación artística. Gracias al procesualismo simbólico de Turner, centramos nuestro objetivo de estudio en el análisis de los símbolos que utiliza Günter Brus para articular sus obras más representativas, así como en el proceso de ritualización que muestran  estas obras. Nuestra conclusión principal manifiesta que, el análisis simbólico que expone Turner es aplicable a la obra de Günter Brus. Además, en las conclusiones se plantea que las acciones de este artista son acciones rituales, para Victor Turner, ‘performance ritual’, ya que las acciones son ritualizadas.
De Japón para el mundo: consumo y percepción de las jóvenes otakus mexicanas
Authors: García Noyola Fátima Itzel , Gabino-Campos María Auxiliadora
Published: December 2021

El fenómeno otaku ha ido permeando poco a poco. El anime y la manga forman parte de los consumos culturales de la mayor parte de los jóvenes en el mundo. Ya se distingue entre el aficionado otaku japonés y el globalizado o Akiba Kei. Con este trabajo, se buscó un acercamiento al significado y consumo de los productos de la industria cultural japonesa por parte de jóvenes mexicanos, para lo cual se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a 10 jóvenes que se acuñaron como otakus mexicanos. El análisis proporciona indicios de que en México, este placer por lo japonés ha generado una identidad grupal o tribu urbana y se desecha la idea del otaku como un inadaptado social ya que es con sus iguales con quienes comparte sus gustos.De igual manera, la identidad de los otakus se forja a través de los personajes de las animaciones japonesas, así como las ideas y modas pertenecientes a una  la cultura japonesa.
Global events in sections of the Upper Devonian and Devonian/Carboniferous boundary interval (Western Bulgaria)
Authors: Boncheva Iliana , Sachanski Valeri , Andreeva Polina
Published: December 2021

The Late Devonian (372–359 million AD) is a time of prolonged climate instability with catastrophic disturbances to global marine ecosystems at the Frasnian–Famennian (F/F) and Devonian–Carboniferous (D/C) boundaries. Global atmospheric CO2 content and climate change in the middle Paleozoic, especially in the Late Devonian, coincide with major events of extinction of organism groups. Anoxic intervals were documented within the Kellwasser event near the Frasnian/Famennian boundary (F/F), the Annulata event in Famennian and the Hangenberg event near the Famennian/Tournaisian boundary (D/C).
The Nesla Gorge and the connection of the Sofia Lake with the Pannonian Basin
Authors: Sinnyovsky Dimitar
Published: December 2021

The Nesla Gorge is a picturesque flat-bottomed gorge carved by the Gaber River through the limestones of the Slivnitsa Formation west of Nesla village, Dragoman area. Its flattened bottom is evidence for an inter-lake strait between the Gaber Basin and the Nishava-Moravian Basin in Serbia. This is proved by several layers in the Novi Iskar Formation containing mollusks typical of the Pannonian Basin. It is supposed that the main reason is the sea-level fluctuation of the Pannonian Sea due to Milankovitch climatic cycles which caused two-way movement of the water between the two basins through the Nesla Gorge. The geological history of the area, as evidenced by the geomorphological data, shows the important role of the Nesla Gorge for the existence of the Gaber Basin and Sofia Lake during the Pontian and Dacian Ages.

Authors: Vasilev Atanas , Botoucharov Nikola , Petsinski Petar , Pehlivanova Rositsa , Genov Ivan , Dimitrov Orlin , Dimitrov Dimitar , Yovchev Danail
Published: December 2021

The aim of Stage 1 of the FNI project GEOHydrate is to prove the hypothesis that gas hydrates deposits (GHDs) create measurable temperature and heat flow (T&HF) anomalies on the seafloor. We use a PetroMod™ model for 98 Ma basin analysis of the Western Black Sea basin, developed in GEOMAR, FRG. The model was run 2 times – with and without GH formation. The resultant difference of the heat flows on the seabed shows average heat flow anomaly above GHDs of 7 mW/m2 and a maximum of 15 mW/m2.

Block fields and block streams deposits in the Pirin Mountains
Authors: Sarafov Alexandar , Krenchev Dimitar
Published: December 2021

The block fields and block streams are widespread in the Pirin Mountains. They are significant in size and are distributed on both relatively flat and sloping surfaces. Their origin is associated with frost weathering, which can subsequently be supplemented by other processes related to the destruction of the material – chemical weathering, fluvial, cryogenic processes, etc. The main aim of the study is to analyze the block field and block stream deposits which will give us a better understanding of their origin and evolution.

Specifically, it focuses on how the assessment for English language learning is currently conducted and how this relates to learner autonomy. Despite the Vietnamese government’s official requirement for learner autonomy, Vietnamese higher education’s language academic context provides presently little space for autonomous learning. The idea of self-assessment is relatively unfamiliar and has, therefore, been little investigated. Based on qualitative data from observations and interviews with 38 university students, this paper presents the understanding of learner autonomy in Vietnamese higher education. In particular, the findings suggest that self-assessment may be a useful operational approach for fostering language learner autonomy in Vietnam and other similar settings. Also, they highlight the demand of promoting self-assessment literacy and the importance of self-assessment principles within the local context.

Smartphones have been an essential device in most of our daily activities. However, there is not much information regarding the difference of smartphone usage between gender among medical students. Therefore, this study aims to determine the prevalence of smartphone usage and the reasons of its usage among medical students by gender.
A cross-sectional study was done, using self-administered questionnaires given to 300 medical students in University of Cyberjaya. The students were selected using stratified and simple random sampling methods.
All respondents were using smartphone with majority from age of 18-21 years old (55.3%), female (67.7%), Malay (85%) and studying in 1st year (24.7%). The most popular reason of smartphone usage for male and female was entertainment mainly leisure activity (91.8% and 93.6%, respectively).
There was no significant difference between gender and reasons of smartphone usage among medical students. Regardless, time must be managed wisely to avoid overuse of smartphones that can disrupt relationships with others.

Keywords: smartphone, reason, medical student, gender, Selangor.

Polycaprolactone (PCL) and Fe2O3/PCL nanocomposites sheets/films were prepared by solution casting method. The morphological study illustrated that Fe2O3 nanoparticles were dispersed and embedded well within the PCL matrix. The size of Fe2O3 nanoparticles were below 250 nm. The thermal stability of Fe2O3/PCL nanocomposites was lower than neat PCL, which might be due to Fe2O3 (act as catalyst during the thermal degradation of PCL). The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses show that the crystallization temperature of the nanocomposites was slightly enhanced as compared to neat PCL. The polarized optical microscopy (POM) analyses showed that the size of Fe2O3/PCL nanocomposites spherulites were smaller than neat PCL. The photodegradation study presented that the nanocomposites photodegraded higher quantity of rhodamine B dye as compared to neat PCL. The neat PCL degraded about 24 and 72% while Fe2O3 (6 wt%)/PCL nanocomposites degraded about 72 and 98% of dye within 2 and 10 h, respectively.

The cyclic voltammetric electrochemical technique was utilized to investigate the effect of different temperatures on the redox current peaks of rifampicin (RF), a drug commonly used to treat many diseases including tuberculosis (TB), in vitro for human blood medium. A modified working electrode of glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with carbon nanotube (CNT) (CNT / GCE) was used as a sensitive nano-sensor to evaluate the impact of temperature on the blood medium in the presence of RF ions.
The results confirmed the presence of two oxidation and one reduction current peaks of RF in blood medium at 0.5, 1, and -0.5 V respectively. The redox current peaks of RF ions in blood medium were enhanced with increasing the temperature from 20 to 36oC. The activation energy (E*) values were determined by applying Arrhenius equation with oxidative and anti-oxidative peaks of Ea*(Ipa)= 9.252 and 11.026 kJ.mol-1.K-1,respectively. Other thermodynamic functions such as the change in each of activation Enthalpy (ΔH*), activation Gibbs energy (ΔG*) and activation Entropy (ΔS*) values were estimated using Eyring equation. The present results of the effects of different temperatures on the blood status in presence of RF lead to the explanation of the oxidative stress of the drug which used in an inflammatory of blood at different temperature.

Published: December 2021

Probability of misclassification occurs when there is a choice of criteria that is not favourable for classification. The probabilities of misclassification associated with a family of Johnson’s system, the Inverse Hyperbolic Sine Normal distribution, was developed in this study. The distribution theory and rules, along with the formulation of the system, were generated. It was asserted that the estimation of the parameters of the system could be demystified if one or more variables under consideration are distributed normally.

Bu çalışma, ilkokul ikinci sınıf öğrencilerinde, okuma akıcılığı ile dilbilimsel ve bilişsel beceriler arasındaki ilişkileri incelemektedir. Çalışmada dilbilimsel becerilerden fonolojikfarkındalık, morfolojik farkındalık; bilişsel becerilerden hızlı otomatik isimlendirme ve fonolojik belleğin zayıf ve iyi okuyucuların okuma akıcılığındaki belirleyici rolü araştırılmaktadır. Araştırmaya, 65 ikinci sınıf öğrencisi katılmıştır. Öğrenciler okuma akıcılıklarına göre, zayıf ve iyi okuyucular olarak iki gruba ayrılmıştır. Zayıf okuyucularda, fonolojik farkındalık ve hızlı otomatik isimlendirmenin okuma akıcılığı ile ilişkili olduğu; iyi okuyucularda, fonolojik farkındalık ve morfolojik farkındalığın okuma akıcılığı ile korelasyon gösterdiği görülmüştür. Ayrıca, regresyon analizlerinde, okuma becerisini yordayan en önemli ölçüt; zayıf okuyucularda fonolojik farkındalık iken, iyi okuyucularda morfolojikfarkındalık olarak bulunmuştur. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, fonolojikfarkındalık ve hızlı otomatik isimlendirme zayıf okuyucularda akıcı okumaya ayrı ayrı önemli katkı sağlarken; iyi okuyucularda, sadece morfolojik farkındalığın akıcı okumaya önemli bir katkı sağladığıbulunmuştur. Türkçe, yazıldığı gibi okunan ve sondan eklemeli bir dil olduğundan, bu çalışmanın sonuçları, Türkçe okuma gelişimi üzerine farklı bir bakış açısı sunmaktadır.
