Authors: Al Balushi Khadija A. , Al Balushi Sulaiman M.
Published: August 2017

This research aims to examine the effect of teaching by using strategies that stimulate neural branching in creative and critical thinking of study groups. The sample of this study consisted of two experimental groups and a control group. In terms of the treatment, one experimental group was taught using strategies that stimulate the neural branching in human brain mentally. The other experimental group was taught using the same strategies supported by technology. The control group was taught using the traditional instruction. The sample included (95) male student and (102) female students from two schools of the governorate of Muscat. To answer the research questions, Torrance test of creative thinking (TTCT) and Watson & Glaser critical thinking test (WGCTT) were used. The results show that the experimental groups significantly outperformed the control group with respect to the creative thinking test. However there were no statistically significant differences between the study's groups in the critical thinking test. This study recommends investment of mental capacities of the learners to encourage creative thinking and train teachers on using methods that stimulate neural branching.

Authors: Jawarneh Tariq Y.
Published: August 2017

This study aims at evaluating the delivery of Life Skills (LS) at the first cycle of the basic education in Oman. Information was sought relative to teachers’ perception of their abilities and confidence in implementing LS activities, the primary factors that affect teachers' initial involvement in LS, benefits of LS activities for children, how LS activities are being implemented, physical resources that teachers need in implementing LS activities, and barriers to the implementation of LS. The population of this study consisted of all teachers teaching at the first cycle of the basic stage of schooling in Oman (N=2396). A multi-stage random sampling approach was used to select 315 teachers using the 2010/2011 Ministry of Education (MoE) directory. A questionnaire was adopted and modified to gather the required data. To analyze the data, means and standard deviations as well as frequencies and percentages were computed for responses to each item. The study revealed that teachers at the first cycle of the basic education stage possess several skills related to LS delivery. The results, however, revealed that teachers at the first cycle lack the necessary skills to adopt problem-solving approach in the implementation of LS activities, in addition to their incompetency to integrate information technology in LS related instruction. Several barriers to LS delivery were also identified.

Authors: Alaedein Jehad M.
Published: August 2017

The study, based on the model of Bordin (1983), aims to explore whether the supervisors' and trainees' perceptions of supervisory working alliance (goals, tasks and emotional bond) predict trainees' perceptions of counseling self-efficacy. The study sample consisted of 144 undergraduate and graduate counseling students from four Jordanian state universities, and 14 supervisors of these students. Results of multiple regression analyses showed that from the viewpoint of the trainees, goals in the supervisory working alliance were the predictor of their counseling self-efficacy, and explained 11% of the variation in selfefficacy. In addition, supervisors' perceptions of the trainees' counseling self-efficacy, explained 4% of the variation in their trainees' perceptions of counseling self-efficacy. The study showed that trainees, compared to supervisors, had higher levels of counseling self-efficacy and supervisory working alliance perceptions, with the exception of the emotional bond. Findings highlight the importance of studying the supervisor-supervisee relationship in the context of counseling training programs. The study's results have implications for improving the supervision outcomes and proposals for future studies.

Authors: Al Said Tagharid T. , Hamilton Ian S. , Birdsey Nicola
Published: August 2017

This study aimed to identify the prevalence of behavioral and emotional problems in children in Oman and demographic variables correlated with these. A random sample of 200 pupils from grades 1-4 in the Governorate of Muscat was selected using the OMBEP measure (Al Said, Birdsey, & Stuart-Hamilton, 2012). Multiple linear regression analysis showed three variables are able to predict emotional and behavioural problems including: the educational level of the father (only when it is below bachelor's degree), the number of hours spent watching T.V., and grade 3 (children in grade 3 are more likely to experience the negative effects of emotional and behavioural problems as compared with children in other grades). However, there are variables that have a positive role in reduction of behavioural and emotional problems. These are: the mother's educational level when it is a bachelor's degree, the existence of a nursemaid, and the effect of having first grade education.

Authors: AlAbdulkarim Iman O. , Omar Suzan H.
Published: August 2017

One of the major problems of the Continuous Assessment System (CAS) in elementary schools is that it assesses students' learning more than helping them improve their understanding and knowledge of scientific concepts and skills. It also does not assess their behavioral and social skills. This research aims to introduce assessment for learning, where the teacher gathers information about the student's current knowledge and skills then provides them with feedback to help them improve learning. The study consists of two parts: a survey of the science teachers, supervisors and parents' opinions in comparing the two assessment systems (tested for validity and stability). The second part was to apply assessment for learning in science classrooms by six teachers for a period not less than six weeks. Interviews were used to collect data and a new form of report card was proposed to assess student performance. Findings indicate significant differences between assessment for learning and CAS in favor of the former. The teachers noticed positive results in the knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts and skills of the students, and a marked improvement in social and behavioral skills.

OBJECTIVE To determine whether a maxillary nerve block via a modified infraorbital approach, applied before rhinoscopy and nasal biopsy of dogs, would decrease procedural nociception, minimize cardiorespiratory anesthetic effects, and improve recovery quality.

ANIMALS 8 healthy adult hound-type dogs

PROCEDURES In a crossover study, dogs received 0.5% bupivacaine (0.1 mL/kg) or an equivalent volume of saline (0.9% NaCl) solution as a maxillary nerve block via a modified infraorbital approach. A 5-cm, 20-gauge over-the-needle catheter was placed retrograde within each infraorbital canal, and bupivacaine or saline solution was administered into each pterygopalatine region. Rhinoscopy and nasal biopsy were performed. Variables monitored included heart rate, systolic arterial blood pressure (SAP), mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), diastolic arterial blood pressure (DAP), plasma cortisol and norepinephrine concentrations, purposeful movement, and pain scores. After a 14-day washout period, the other treatment was administered on the contralateral side, and rhinoscopy and nasal biopsy were repeated.

RESULTS SAP, MAP, and DAP were significantly higher for the saline solution treatment than for the bupivacaine treatment, irrespective of the time point. Plasma cortisol concentrations after saline solution treatment were significantly higher 5 minutes after nasal biopsy than at biopsy. Heart rate, norepinephrine concentration, purposeful movement, and pain score were not significantly different between treatments.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Maxillary nerve block via a modified infraorbital approach prior to rhinoscopy and nasal biopsy reduced procedural nociception as determined on the basis of blood pressures and plasma cortisol concentrations during anesthesia. These findings warrant further evaluation in dogs with nasal disease.

OBJECTIVE To determine accuracy for a technique of needle redirection at a single craniolateral site for injection of 3 compartments of the equine stifle joint, describe the external needle position, and identify the location of the needle tip within each joint compartment.

SAMPLE 24 equine cadaver stifle joints.

PROCEDURES Stifle joints were placed in a customized stand. After the needle was placed, external needle position was measured and recorded. Each joint compartment (medial and lateral compartments of the femorotibial joint and the femoropatellar joint) was injected with a solution containing iodinated contrast medium, water, and dye. Radiography, assessment of intra-articular location of the needle tip, and gross dissection were performed to determine success of entering each joint compartment. Student t tests and an ANOVA were used to compare mean values.

RESULTS Overall accuracy was 19 of 24 (79.1%), and accuracy for individual joint compartments was at least 21 of 24 (87.5%). Mean depth of needle insertion to access each compartment of the stifle joint was 5.71 cm. Mean angle of insertion (relative to the long axis of the tibia) was 82.1°, 80.3°, and 18.5° for the medial compartment of the femorotibial joint, lateral compartment of the femorotibial joint, and femoropatellar joint, respectively, and 28° medial, 7.3° lateral, and 1.3° lateral for the medial compartment of the femorotibial joint, lateral compartment of the femorotibial joint, and femoropatellar joint, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results supported that this was an accurate technique for successful injection of the 3 equine stifle joint compartments.

The paper presents an analysis of the flight performance and stability

and control of a Flying Boat remote control model on the ground effect altitude. It begins with a three dimensional measurement of a Flying Boat remote control model by using a laser tracking photo camera and a drawing software. The 3 D model was drawn by solid drawing on the CATIA software. The 3 D model was analyzed by using computational fluid dynamics CFx AnSys due to the rectangular wing with dihedral configuration with NACA 23012 airfoil. The maximum takeoff weight is around 25.0 kg powered with a single engine propeller, 5.5 HP. The surface effect phenomena of the Flying

Boat remote control model was simulated by using CFx omputational Fluid Dynamics software, AnSys with the airspeed, V = 35.0 knots and shows a good results at the altitude of 20.0 cm. The longitudinal static stability analysis provides a good result at 1.0 meter altitude. Simulations were performed to the PUNA “Alap alap” flight performance test during cruise at 7800 feet as data verification. The adaptive ground effect control system is solved by transfer function equation matrix.

Keywords: Flying Boat, remote control model, ground effect altitude.

Kualanamu International Airport is one of the airports in Indonesia, which has the potential to be developed into Aerotropolis Airport. This study aims to analyze the potential development of aerotropolis in Kualanamu International Airport Medan. Potential analysis is done with 2 (two) approaches, namely the ratio of non-aeronautical revenues and the average consumption of passengers. Analysis of the potential development of aerotropolis in Kualanamu Medan Airport shows the ratio of nonaeronautical revenue contribution to total revenue the airport from 2010 to 2014 lagged up to 42.86% of the proportion of revenue Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. At the viability projections in 2019, the International Airport Kualanamu was 16.63% below the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Based on these results, the proportion of the contribution of non-aeronautical revenues in Kualanamu Medan from 2010 s.d 2014 adrift far enough away from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. But the 2019 projection, quite approaching Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The same condition also occurs for patterns of consumption Kualanamu airport passengers are left pretty much when compared with the consumption patterns of passengers at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol the surrounding region has grown into aerotropolis. That is, the consumption patterns of passengers still have to be improved.

Bandara Internasional Kualanamu merupakan salah satu bandar udara di Indonesia yang memiliki potensi untuk dikembangkan menjadi Bandar Udara Aerotropolis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan analisis potensi pengembangan aerotropolis di Bandar Udara Internasional Kualanamu Medan. Analisis potensial dilakukan dengan 2 (dua) pendekatan, yaitu rasio pendapatan non-aeronautika dan rata-rata konsumsi penumpang. Analisis potensi pengembangan aerotropolis di Bandar Udara Kualanamu Medan menunjukkan rasio kontribusipemasukan non-aeronautikal terhadap total pemasukan bandara dari tahun 2010 sampai dengan 2014 tertinggal sampai 42.86% dari proporsi pemasukan Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Pada proyeksi viability tahun 2019, Bandara Internasional Kualanamu berada 16.63% di bawah Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, proporsi kontribusi pemasukan non-aeronautikal Bandara Kualanamu Medan dari tahun 2010 s.d 2014 terpaut cukup jauh dari Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Namun pada proyeksi 2019, cukup mendekati Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Kondisi yang sama juga terjadi untuk pola konsumsi penumpang bandara Kualanamu yang tertinggal cukup jauh jika dibandingkan dengan pola konsumsi penumpang di Amsterdam Airport Schiphol yang kawasan sekitarnya telah tumbuh menjadi aerotropolis. Artinya, pola konsumsi penumpang masih harus ditingkatkan.
