How do mathematics teachers and learners perceive the role of oral interaction in the teaching and
learning of English language learners (ELLs) in year 10 mathematics classes?
Authors:   , McKee Sara
Published: September 2021

New Zealand has recently reached a population of five million. Many of these five million are from non-English-speaking-backgrounds. Consequently, many students from language backgrounds other than English find themselves in content classrooms where English is the dominant language. One of these content classrooms is secondary school mathematics.

This qualitative investigation uses exploratory case study, with two sub-units to examine how mathematics teachers and learners perceive the role of oral interaction in the learning of junior (year 10) mathematics. Data were gathered from two classes in one large coeducational school in the greater Wellington region. Data were collected through two interviews with two teachers, one teacher aide, and five English Language Learner (ELL) students from two year 10 mathematics classrooms. Additional data gathered were gathered through observations, narrative field notes, and artifacts. Data were then analysed using thematic analysis.

There were four key findings. The first of these findings was the importance of personal experiences of learning and using an additional language for staff. These experiences shaped the way staff interacted with ELLs and made them empathetic to the language learners. An additional finding was the significance of relationships in classrooms between teaching staff and ELLs, as well as ELLs and their classmates. The ELLs reported that they flourished when they felt comfortable and confident in their classroom environment. A dominant theme was understanding the language demands of mathematics. Students and staff recognised the importance of moving beyond vocabulary, to learning the language of mathematical concepts. The staff discussed the affordances and hindrances for language learning in the classroom. Staff also recognised the challenges for ELLs in accessing the curriculum, and acknowledged 5 that full participation was not always achieved. The final finding was that the teacher had a role in supporting oral language for learning mathematics in the classroom.

The findings suggest that teachers need support in recognising the role of language in their subject areas including how to promote oral language. This study recommends that preservice teacher education should include opportunities for teaching discipline specific language in content areas, particularly in mathematics
[Evaluation of the response to vaccination against poliomyelitis and measles in malnourished children in Morocco]
Authors: Caidi H. , Bennis F. , Mouan N. , El Aouad R.
Published: September 2021

We made a comparative survey of the poliovirus antibodies [anti-poliovirus type 1, anti-poliovirus type 2 and anti-poliovirus type 3] and the measles antibodies in malnourished but completely vaccinated children [37] and control children [34]. The age range was 10 months to 5 years. Immunization in children with protein-energy malnutrition was low for both vaccines. Seroprevalence rates of the polio 1, polio 2, polio 3 antibodies and the measles antibodies in the control group were 94.1%, 97.1%, 91.2% and 82.4% respectively. In malnourished children the respective rates were in some cases significantly lower being:40.5% [P = 0.001], 59.5% [P = 0.001], 40.5% and 35.1%. Malnutrition is a major determinant of the humoral response to oral polio and measles vaccines and must be given due consideration to prevent vaccination failure
Detection of pneumonia among children under six years by clinical evaluation
Authors: Shamo'on H. , Hawamdah A. , Haddadin R. , Jmeian S.
Published: September 2021

To determine the most useful clinical symptoms and signs for detection of pneumonia in children, we carried out a prospective clinical study at Queen Alia Hospital, Amman, on 147 children admitted between August 2002 and January 2003 with clinical pneumonia. All the children had chest X-rays, which were read by the same radiologist. The most sensitive and specific signs and symptoms for prediction of pneumonia were coughing, tachypnoea [respiratory rate > 50/min] and chest wall indrawing. We found that presence of tachypnoea and lower chest wall indrawing can detect most cases of pneumonia. If all clinical signs are negative, chest X-ray findings are unlikely to be positive

Published: September 2021

We determined the prevalence, distribution and determinants of h and icap among children in Saudi Arabia. A field survey was carried out from 1417 to 1420 AH [1997-2000 AD] of 60 630 children under 16 years selected from all regions of the country. Information was collected by questionnaire for all children and those with a h and icap, or suspected of having a h and icap, were referred for confirmatory diagnosis. Of the total sample, 3838 [6.33%] were recorded as h and icapped. The region with the highest proportion of h and icapped children was Jazan [9.90%] ; Riyadh had the lowest [4.36%]. Motor disability was the commonest kind of h and icap [3.0% of the total sample], followed by learning disability [1.8%]. The highest proportion of disability was found among children with h and icapped parents, those whose mothers were older at the time of their birth and those whose mothers had not had medical care and necessary vaccination during pregnancy
Attitudes of a high-risk group of pregnant Saudi Arabian women to prenatal screening for chromosomal anomalies
Authors: Babay Z. A.
Published: September 2021

The attitude of 550 pregnant Saudi Arabian women aged > 35 years to prenatal screening for chromosomal anomalies was investigated. A total of 336 women [61.1%] accepted the general idea of prenatal screening while 160 [29.1%] did not; 54 women [9.8%] were undecided. There was a high acceptance of non-invasive methods such as ultrasound [61.3%] and biochemical screening [53.0%] but a low acceptance of invasive methods [34.2%]. The main reason for refusal of screening was the unacceptability of termination of pregnancy as a treatment option. There were statistically significant differences between those who accepted the idea of screening and those who did not with regard to their awareness of the availability of prenatal screening, their rejection of pregnancy termination, their doubt of the accuracy of the tests and in their belief that chromosomal abnormalities need not be screened for

Published: September 2021

Schoolteacher could be a useful source of health information for students but that they themselves would have to possess adequate and accurate knowledge of health issues. We assessed Bahraini schoolteachers’ knowledge of some common health problems using a pre-tested, structured questionnaire which requested information on schools, teachers’ demographic data, and knowledge about 5 common health problems in Bahrain:bronchial asthma, sickle-cell anaemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and the dangers of smoking. We analysed the data on 1140 respondents from a r and om selection of teachers in all schools in Bahrain. The schoolteachers scored only around 50% on average for knowledge about common health problems which indicates a need to educate schoolteachers about health in order to improve their knowledge and their capability to disseminate health knowledge and information to students

Authors: Al Taani M. I.
Published: September 2021

The efficacy, safety and outcome of prostagl and in [PG] E2 was compared with Foley catheter for labour induction in gr and multiparous women. At a hospital in Jordan, 147 women with Bishop score </= 5 were r and omized to receive 3 mg PGE2 vaginal tablets [n = 75] or 50 mL intracervical Foley catheter [n = 72]. The change in Bishop score was significantly higher in the PGE2 group than the catheter group, and time from induction to delivery was significantly shorter in the PGE2 group. Significantly more women needed oxytocin for labour augmentation in the catheter than the PGE2 group and fetal distress was significantly more frequent. For gr and multiparas, PGE2 vaginal tablets may be preferable for ripening the cervix as well as for labour induction

Authors: Lowther S. A. , Mir T. , Bile M. K. , Abdul Hafiz R.
Published: September 2021

We sought to identify factors associated with being a reservoir district for wild poliovirus in Pakistan. Differences between reservoir and non-reservoir districts were identified using acute flaccid paralysis surveillance data, population census statistics and data from a survey of district health officials [DHOs]. Of the 11 poliovirus reservoir districts identified, population density was significantly higher [median 550 persons/km2] than the non-reservoirs [median 175 persons/km2]. DHOs from reservoir districts more often reported that planning was affected by refugees and they had more frequent DHO transfers compared with non-reservoir districts. Multivariate analysis confirmed that reservoirs more often had high population density and frequent DHO transfers. Assessment of district-level and management characteristics can supplement surveillance methods to further improve health programmes

Authors: Al Riyami A. A. , Afifi M.
Published: September 2021

We carried out a cross-sectional survey to study the prevalence and the characteristics of current and former smoking among Omani adults. Crude prevalence of current smoking was 7.0% [males 13.4%, females 0.5%] ; 2.3% were former smokers. The overall highest prevalence of current smoking [11.1%] was observed in those 40-49 years [18.7% of males, 0.9% of females]. Older age [>/= 40 years], higher educational level and larger family size were protective against smoking. Mean age for starting smoking was 18.7 years for males and 24.3 years for females. Although smoking prevalence is low in Oman, prevention should be addressed in health education programmes, with the emphasis on heightening awareness in adolescents. Government action, e. g. tobacco taxation, clean air laws and bans on advertising, is also recommended

Published: September 2021

The prevalence of diabetic nephropathy as a cause of end-stage renal disease [ESRD] in Egypt has been examined in small cross-sectional studies, with conflicting results. The need for a large-scale study prompted us to perform this 6-year multiple cross-sectional study. A sample of ESRD patients enrolled in the Egyptian renal data system was evaluated during the period 1996-2001 for the prevalence of diabetic nephropathy. Prevalence gradually increased from 8.9% in 1996, to 14.5% in 2001. The mean age of patients with diabetic nephropathy was significantly higher than that of patients with ESRD from other causes. Mortality was also significantly higher in diabetic patients with ESRD

Surprisingly, physicians with higher qualifications scored lower than those with intermediate qualifications and even less than general practitioners. Those who had practised for >/= 10 years scored better than those with < 10 years practice. The role of cardiologists in the diagnosis and management of erectile dysfunction is discussed
Prevalence of physical inactivity in Saudi Arabia: a brief review
Authors: Al Hazzaa H. M.
Published: September 2021

Major lifestyle changes in recent years in Saudi Arabia may be leading to physical inactivity and a low level of physical fitness. This paper reviews the current literature about physical inactivity in the Saudi Arabian population and discusses its implications for health. Available data from a small number of studies suggests a high prevalence [43.3%-99.5%] of physical inactivity among Saudi children and adults alike. Furthermore, the proportion of Saudi children and adults who are at risk due to inactivity is much higher than for any other coronary heart disease risk factor. It is recommended that a national policy encouraging activity in daily life be established and more studies are carried out to address physical activity patterns with representative samples of the Saudi Arabian population

Published: September 2021

A direct correlation between HIV infection and mutation in the chemokine receptor [CCR5] gene has been established. However, such correlation has never been investigated in Lebanon. We report the frequency of the CCR5-delta 32 mutation in a r and om sample of 209 healthy, HIV-1 seronegative Lebanese aged 19-68. Overall, 4.8% were heterozygous for the mutation. Homozygosity was absent from our sample. The frequency for the CCR5-delta 32 allele was 2.5%. Distribution of the mutation was unaffected by sex, age, religion or educational level. The frequency in the Lebanese population is consistent with that in the origin of the mutation in northern Europe. This could be attributed to a gene flow into the Middle East from northern Europe

Published: September 2021

Coffee is one of Indonesia's leading plantation commodities, which is ranked third in the world. Currently, coffee-based drinks have become a lifestyle in the millennial era. The high interest in coffee affects the economy of the community. Various efforts were made to further encourage the level of coffee consumption, especially in the form of beverages. On the other hand, it is necessary to diversify the product by highlighting the technology side, such as making effervescent which is easier, more practical, and can be enjoyed directly with cold water. Effervescent is known as a product that can cause gas bubbles as a result of the reaction of acids and bases when dissolved in water. The resulting gas bubbles are carbon dioxide which gives a sparkling effect (a taste sensation like sparkling water). The use of coffee as an effervescent raw material is related to its taste, bioactive compounds, and antioxidants. Coffee extract powder can be made from robusta and arabica coffee roasted at medium level with low-temperature crystallization, spray drying, freeze drying, and vacuum drying. Other materials that need to be added such as acid sources, bases, fillers, and binders can affect the effervescent characteristics such as tablet hardness, moisture content, hygroscopicity, and dissolution time. The recommended composition is citric acid, sodium bicarbonate, dextrin, and PVP (Polyvinilpyrrolydone).
DESENVOLVIMENTO DE UMA FERRAMENTA DE PRECIFICAÇÃO PARA JOGOS DE FUTEBOL
Authors: Ribeiro Rodolfo
Published: September 2021

A demanda de uma organização depende de fatores de ambiente e de sua competitividade. No objeto de interesse – jogos de futebol – observou-se um padrão de uso de regressão na literatura como forma de explicá-la. Em trabalhos pesquisados, os modelos são gerais, em vez de focados em um clube específico. Como um clube é monopolista de sua demanda, o conhecimento da função de demanda permitiria uma definição de preços que extraia maior excedente do consumidor quando este for o interesse do clube. A extrema variabilidade dos dados (desvio padrão elevado) e a relação entre as variáveis de um jogo trazem desafios para a definição de preços, pois no histórico de jogos os maiores públicos foram obtidos com os maiores preços, o que contraria a lei geral da demanda. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar o desenvolvimento de uma solução de precificação de ingressos e de previsão de demanda para um clube de futebol. Metodologicamente, o modelo de regressão Gerado leva em consideração a importância (i) de cada partida, na qual a importância foi estimada considerando o melhor ajuste entre a relação de preço, importância e público. O modelo final conta com doze valores de i diferentes, além de mais dez variáveis independentes e seu r² apresenrou sensível melhora em relação à bibliografia pesquisada. As contribuições para a gestão no objeto pesquisado são inúmeras: melhor dimensionamento de Quadro de funcionários e despesas operacionais, a implementação de incentivos mais adequados ao aumento de público e uma maior assertividade em transferência de mando de jogos.

O poder de compra dos indivíduos de baixa renda pode ser considerado significativo para o mercado quando levado em consideração o volume de brasileiros que ocupa a base da pirâmide. Ademais, considera-se que estes indivíduos encontram meios de consumir produtos que eles desejam, geralmente marcadores de status dos indivíduos de alta posição. Neste estudo, o produto que exemplifica esse consumo dos indivíduos de baixa renda para elevação do status e aceitação na sociedade é o iPhone. Desse modo, objetiva-se compreender a relação entre a marca iPhone e a identidade de classe alta e como ele é utilizado como meio de inserção em grupos pelos indivíduos da base da pirâmide. Para tanto, foram realizadas 24 entrevistas com roteiro semiestruturado, contando com o apoio da técnica projetiva da terceira pessoa. A análise dos dados foi a partir da análise de conteúdo de Bardin. Como resultado da pesquisa, é percebido que os indivíduos acreditam que estão se distinguindo de pessoas mais pobres e indo em direção ao mundo dos que possuem maior poder aquisitivo já que são usuários de iPhone como esses indivíduos. Além disso, os entrevistados apontam que o iPhone é um bem que colabora para a aceitação em grupos, sendo este bem uma das melhores formas de minimizar o sofrimento com questões sociais. Com isso, vários sacrifícios são tolerados para que seja possível possuir o smartphone da Apple, como vender ou trocar bens, retirar parte do dinheiro que seria reservado para alimentação, moradia e segurança, além de parcelar em muitas prestações. Mesmo com todas as renúncias necessárias, os benefícios que o iPhone traz para as pessoas de baixa renda é algo que permanece em primeiro plano.
Digital Influencer e Conteúdo Congruente gera Oportunidade para Presente: Estudo sobre a decisão de compra dos pais
Authors: Galdino da Silva Júnior Omero
Published: September 2021

O presente artigo objetiva compreender melhor a relação entre a influência digital de usuários e a avaliação dos pares como variáveis favoráveis ao consumo de produtos. Dessa forma, foi estruturada uma pesquisa experimental com foco em analisar de que forma se dá a relação entre esses construtos. A partir de uma amostra não-probabilística por conveniência, usando a técnica snowball (Cozby & Bates, 2012), participaram 89 pais de todos o Brasil nessa pesquisa. O estudo contribui com a literatura ao entender que os digital influencers podem até possuir um apelo positivo para a intenção de compra, mas ainda não se obteve correlação efetiva para a compra efetiva. Contudo, a validação desses usuários tem sido e será cada vez mais crucial para a tomada de decisão dos compradores (Kotler, Kartajaya & Setiawan, 2017).

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo classificar e hierarquizar o  município turístico Foz do Iguaçu/PR, principal destino do Estado do Paraná, com base nos pressupostos de Boullón, quanto ao papel que desempenha e a hierarquia que assume perante os demais destinos brasileiros, baseando-se na origem de sua demanda.  No que diz respeito à delimitação temporal o estudo se caracteriza como longitudinal. Quanto ao método de coleta e análise dos dados se caracteriza como exploratória e descritiva, de abordagem quali-quantitativa, apoiada em fontes bibliográficas e documentais. Os dados foram obtidos em relatórios de pesquisa de demanda disponibilizados pela Secretaria de Turismo do município objeto de análise, artigos científicos e informações sistematizadas da plataforma TripAdvisor. Conclui-se que o município de Foz do Iguaçu, no que diz respeito à função espacial, constitui-se um centro turístico de distribuição, em especial, para os centros turísticos de Ciudad del Este e Puerto Iguazu, Paraguai e Argentina respectivamente. Quanto à abrangência, no que tange a demanda externa classifica-se como um destino internacional não limítrofe, e quanto a demanda interna, ostenta a posição de destino nacional, ocupando a posição 7 nível 3 com uma média de 17.600 turistas em um único dia. Como implicações práticas da investigação, o presente trabalho aponta algumas possibilidades para que o destino se torne um centro de estada. Além disso, a pesquisa indica a pertinência de estudos complementares levando em consideração os países vizinhos pela integração apresentada.
Ronco do V8 Objeto de Desejo: Estudo de Caso do Automóvel Ford Maverick em Diferentes Gerações sob a Ótica das Cadeias Meio Fim
Authors: Levrini Gabriel , Borba da Silveira Alexandre
Published: September 2021

No início do ano de 1970, a Ford do Brasil S.A., trouxe um campeão de vendas dos USA, o Ford Maverick. O automovel caiu rapidamente no gosto popular, neste novo segmento de carros médios, passando a ter uma legião de admiradores. Esta pesquisa objetiva, a luz da teoria das cadeias meio-fim, comparar o comportamento e valores de usuários do Maverick de duas diferentes gerações em épocas diferentes:  nos anos 70 quando o automóvel foi lançado, cujos principais consumidores eram da geração Baby Boomers e dos filhos de esta geração, a geração X. Para este estudo foi utilizado a técnica de laddering, com entrevistas em profundidade com 47 entrevistados, sendo 20 pertencentes a geração Baby Boomers (indivíduos nascidos entre 1940 e 1960) e os outros  27 entrevistados, nascidos entre 1970 e 1990 que fazem parte da geração X, em que seus depoimentos permitiram acomparação das gerações. Os resultados  da análise de conteúdo e da análise utilizando o laddering permitiu o desenvolvimento de mapas hierárquicos dos valores respectivos de cada geração. Estes mapas deram como resultado:  a geração Baby Boomers demostrou como valor fundamental para a aquisição do Maverick na época a questão da segurança financeira e motor potente V8 como maior fator motivacional para aquisição deste automóvel. No caso da  geração X o estudo indicou como esperado, o valor nostalgia e saudosismo como maior impulsionador para ainda ter este automóvel, seja como colecionador ou hobby. As gerações apresentam como em comum, o valor de nostalgia e saudosismo. Os resultados sugerem novas abordagens para os estudos do comportamento de consumo e marketing geracional.

Published: September 2021

Since pollution is very serious problem threating the environmental eco-system around the world, but people do not usually treat this issue properly. Water is contaminated with different type of pollutants such as organic, inorganic, heavy metals, pesticides, dyes, phenols, and many other pollutants. Using adsorption phenomenon is very practical, easy and common method to remove pollutants from water. Owing to the significant properties of lignin such as high surface area, porosity, availability in huge amount, it was chosen to be used as an adsorbent surface of various pollutants. Herein it is going to review some of important literatures regarding that. Another serious problem that is threatening the marine eco-system, human health, and influence the global warming is the huge consumption of plastic polymers every year. Thus, reducing the consumption of plastic polymers is significantly matter. Lignin chemical structures are highly oxygenated and have several aromatic units, so by definition lignin can act as an antioxidant, free radical scavenger and photo-stabilizers. As the chemical structure of monomer moieties to form lignin are highly aromatic so it is suitable to work as UV- blocker to stop the photo-degradation of plastic.

Markers of cell proliferation are widely used as diagnostic and prognostic tools. Coincident estimation of these markers increases the precise evaluation of the proliferative status of different tissues and can also be helpful in determining progression, aggressiveness and prognosis of the lesions. The current study investigated the expression of PCNA and MCM3 cell proliferation markers in 40 formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue blocks of odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) and unicystic ameloblastoma (UA) cases using immunohistochemistry method. Markers` expression based on the intensity, percentage of positively stained cells and localization of reaction through the cyst lining epithelium was separately analyzed for each marker using Chi square test, the results of which were significant for the two markers (P < 0.05). Both markers revealed statistically significant differences between OKC and UA cases regarding markers expression intensity, positivity score and localization of reaction through the epithelium. Mural UA histologic variant was significantly different than luminal and intraluminal variants. The correlation coefficient between the two markers was found to be 0.86.

Published: September 2021

Two field trials were conducted to determine the effect of P-K solubilizing bacteria and nitrogen chemical fertilizer on growth, yield and nitrate in leaf of mustard greens Brassica juncea L.) cultivated on acid sulfate soils. Eight P-K solubilizing bacterial strains composed of 3 strains of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus and 5 strains of Rhizobium sp., bacterial liquid were directly watered into plant at 3 stages [6, 12 and 21 days after planting] during vegetable cultivation, chemical fertilizer (60N – 40 P2O5 – 20 K2O) and control (no-inoculation). The study revealed that eight P-K solubilizing bacterial strains have good characteristics as nitrogen fixation, phosphate and potassium solubilisation. Application of nitrogen chemical concentration, increasing nitrate concentration of leaf of mustard greens. Application of bacterial liquid with Acinetobacter calcoaceticus strain NT4 and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus strain NT30 strain, Rhizobium tropici strain N18 and Rhizobium leguminosarum strain K35 on mustard greens cultivated on acid sulfate soils (basal fertilizer: 40 P2O5 – 20 K2O) was the best cultural practice because the this model not only supported the highest biomass, but also decreased nitrate concentration in leaf of mustard greens.

Mosquitoes can act as vectors for many disease-causing viruses and parasites through carrying these organisms from person to person. The objective of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility of Aedes aegypti larvae to some insecticides in Jeddah Governorate. Mosquito larvae were collected from all the available breeding sites in Jeddah municipalities using standard larval collection kits. The diagnostic doses (LC50 and LC90) were calculated from the mortality and concentration data. The larvicides Pirimiphos methyl, Fenitrothion, Bifenthrin and Cypermethrin were tested against the larvae of Ae. aegypti mosquito. The results showed positive correlation between the concentrations under investigation and mortality% of the treated larvae. Cypermethrin gave strong effect against Ae. aegypti larvae (LD50 0.0015 ml/L) followed by Pirimiphos methyl (LD50 0.0020 ml/L), Bifenthrin (LD50 0.039 ml/L), and at last rank Fenitrothion (0.041 ml/L). The same trend was obtained in LD90s. Ae. aegypti in Jeddah was susceptible to Bifenthrin, Cypermethrin, Pirimiphos methyl and Fenitrothion. Further studies should be run to conduct an intensive and appropriate vector control program in Jeddah Governorate.

The aim of this study is to explore if there is correlation between the typical voice classification and oropharyngeal anatomy, using cervical posterior-anterior radiography on professional singers in Epirus, Greece. Methods: 70 professional singers, 35 men and 35 women, were recruited for this study. All participants underwent a cervical posterior-anterior radiographic imaging of their oral pharyngeal and laryngeal area. Results: A statistically significant difference of mean distance was observed for the CI-MHP area (p=0,004), the MHP- SCV area (F=2,62, p=0,032), as well as SCV-AI area (F=11,82, p=0,000). For the average length measured in mm of the phonetic area PA, statistically significant differences were computed among all the singers in the group (F [5] = 5.368, p = 0.001), as well as the OPC area (F = 6,48, p = 0,000). Conclusions: The cervical posteroanterior radiography provided new correlations of the voice category of professional singers with their Oropharyngeal and Laryngeal Anatomy.
