description: Neutral hydrogen (HI) emission exhibits complex morphology that encodes rich information about the physics of the interstellar medium (ISM). We apply the scattering transform (ST) to characterize HI emission structure via a set of compact and interpretable coefficients, and find a connection between HI emission morphology and HI cold neutral medium (CNM) phase content. Where HI absorption measurements are unavailable, the HI phase structure is typically estimated from the emission via spectral line decomposition. Here we present the first probe of CNM content using measures solely derived from HI emission spatial information. We apply the scattering transform to GALFA-HI data at high Galactic latitudes (|b|>30 deg), and compare the resulting coefficients to CNM fraction measurements derived from archival HI emission and absorption spectra. We quantify the correlation between the ST coefficients and measured CNM fraction (fCNM), and find that HI emission morphology encodes substantial fCNM-correlating information, and that ST-based metrics for small-scale linearity are particularly predictive of fCNM. This is further corroborated by the enhancement of $I_{857}/N_{HI}$ ratio with larger ST measures of small-scale linearity. These results are consistent with the picture that regions with higher CNM content are more populated with small-scale filamentary HI structures. Our work illustrates a physical connection between HI morphology and phase content, and suggests that future phase decomposition methods can be improved by making use of both HI spectral and spatial information.

description: The  aim of this study was to investigate  effects of vocabulary learning strategy training on
students’  word power and attitude to learning vocabulary on grade 12 students at Chencha
preparatory school. For this study 60 students were selected randomly and then grouped in to
experimental and  control by  lottery method.  In order  to achieve  the object of the study,
experimental design was used. The data  were  collected from the respondents through
questionnaire, pre and  posttest.  The questionnaire was given to check student attitude  on the
given strategies. Pretest was given to check whether the experimental and control groups were
similar  level on  vocabulary  after  strategy trainings.  The results indicated that there was no
statistically significant difference between both groups on vocabulary learning strategy that the
teacher used to identify and to examine the effects before the training. The data of questionnaire
and  tests were analyzed through frequencies, percent, and mean, independent sample t test and
co relation between two groups by using SPSS version 20. Therefore, the result of questionnaire
showed that  there was significant difference between two groups after strategy training .This
implies students have positive attitude on memory strategy, cognitive strategy and social strategy
but neutral  in other strategies.  The posttest  results showed that teaching vocabulary through
strategy training had significant effects on students’ attitude and word power than that of without
training. The finding led to conclusion that strategy training was relatively more effect than that
of traditional method. Therefore, teachers should provide vocabulary learning strategy training to
their students.

description: We present ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (NIR) observations and analysis of the nearby Type Ia supernova SN 2021fxy. Our observations include UV photometry from Swift/UVOT, UV spectroscopy from HST/STIS, and high-cadence optical photometry with the Swope 1-m telescope capturing intra-night rises during the early light curve. Early $B-V$ colours show SN 2021fxy is the first "shallow-silicon" (SS) SN Ia to follow a red-to-blue evolution, compared to other SS objects which show blue colours from the earliest observations. Comparisons to other spectroscopically normal SNe Ia with HST UV spectra reveal SN 2021fxy is one of several SNe Ia with flux suppression in the mid-UV. These SNe also show blue-shifted mid-UV spectral features and strong high-velocity Ca II features. One possible origin of this mid-UV suppression is the increased effective opacity in the UV due to increased line blanketing from high velocity material, but differences in the explosion mechanism cannot be ruled out. Among SNe Ia with mid-UV suppression, SNe 2021fxy and 2017erp show substantial similarities in their optical properties despite belonging to different Branch subgroups, and UV flux differences of the same order as those found between SNe 2011fe and 2011by. Differential comparisons to multiple sets of synthetic SN Ia UV spectra reveal this UV flux difference likely originates from a luminosity difference between SNe 2021fxy and 2017erp, and not differing progenitor metallicities as suggested for SNe 2011by and 2011fe. These comparisons illustrate the complicated nature of UV spectral formation, and the need for more UV spectra to determine the physical source of SNe Ia UV diversity.

description: Herein we report the regioselective synthesis of podophyllotoxin-Glycosyl triazole hybrids catalysed by Ag(I)-N-heterocyclic carbene (Ag(I)-NHC) in a short reaction time (∼30 min) at ambient conditions. In principle, it is the first report of Click alkyne-azide cycloaddition catalysed by Ag(I)-NHC catalyst and moreover, this new methodology yielded good results when compared with traditional CuAAC in terms of reaction time and selectivity. The synthesised compounds were further explored for in vitro anticancer activity against four human cancer cell lines Du145, HeLa, A-549, and MCF-7 and found that these synthesised compounds possess significant anticancer activity. Further, the compounds 5a and 5e were identified as promising leads due to their better activity across all cell lines than that of the standard drug etoposide. Molecular docking studies of 5a & 5e with DNA Topoisomerase-II were revealed that the free energy calculations of active compounds were in good agreement with observed IC50 values.

description: In the context of prospective studies for searches of new physics at the LHC Run 3, this paper investigates the relevance of using top quarks produced from new long-lived particles, and detected in the tracker volume of the ATLAS and CMS experiments. Such a signature, referred to as displaced top quarks, leads to final states containing displaced vertices and a high multiplicity of displaced jets and tracks, thanks to the top quark decays. Therefore, it is a possible powerful tool for searching for new long-lived particles. Three simplified models based on supersymmetry are explicitly designed for the study of this signature. They differ according to the nature of the long-lived heavy particle which produces at least one top quark: electrically neutral or charged, coloured or non-coloured long-lived particle. For each model, a wide region of parameter space, consistent with a reasonable number of displaced top quarks decaying in a typical tracker volume has been probed. From this study, promising benchmarks are defined and experimental guidelines are suggested.

description: The major goal of this study is finding out teachers’ assessment practice of speaking skill in ELT
classroom in  Deramalo  Woreda  three  government  schools  in  SNNPR. This  study  aimed:- to
assess  the  variety  of  speaking  skill  assessment  tasks  teachers  using   in  EFL  classroom;  to
examine  the  corresponding  purposes  of  the  variety  of  speaking  assessment  tasks,  and  to
identify  the  frequency  of  the  variety  of  speaking  assessment  tasks  teachers  using  in  EFL
classroom.
This study was also conducted in using qualitative methods, with 12 English language teachers.
All  twelve  participants  responded  to  classroom  observations  which  used  for  the  practice  of
speaking  skill  assessment  tasks.  Six  of  the  twelve  also  participated  in  an  interview  for  the
purpose on using the variety of speaking assessment tasks and also all of the twelve teachers
were  asked  about  their  document  analysis qualitatively  using  available  and  comprehensive
sampling techniques.
Based on the observations, interviews and document analysis, the study was revealed that the
teachers  were  not  introduced  the  topic  to  students  on  what  they  will  have  to  do  at  the
assessment task stage and mightn't help the students to recall some language use that may be
useful  for  the  task.  Teachers  were  also  used  a  Grammar  Translation  Method  and  L1/mother
tongue when they assess, give instructions and feedbacks to their students. As well, the study
found that in some tasks, teachers didn't plan for speaking assessment tend to overlook it. For
this  reason,  the  students  were  not  really  speaking  and  memorizing  from  written  scripts,  and
they were also not concerned with the validity and reliability of their assessments.
The  conclusion  is  reached  that  although  the  teachers  need  to  have  assistance  and
encouragement to try new variety of speaking assessment tasks in their EFL classrooms, they
need to make themselves aware of the shift in social and educational needs to make conscious
and persistent efforts.

description: Phytochemical investigation of the roots of Cissampelos pareira Linn. led to the isolation of one new pyrrole alkaloid, cissampeline (1), together with ten known alkaloids, (−)-curine (2), (−)-cyclanoline (3), (+)-tetrandrine (4), (+)-obaberine (5), (+)-obamegine (6), (−)-oblongine (7), (+)-homoaromoline (8), (−)-nor-N׳-chondrocurine (9), trans-N-feruloyltyramine (10) and (+)-coclaurine (11). Their structures were elucidated by extensive NMR and MS spectroscopic analyses. Interestingly, compound 1 represents the first example of pyrrole alkaloid found in the genus Cissampelos. Moreover, compounds 5-11 were isolated for the first time from this genus. Among them, compound 6 showed the highest anti-acetylcholinesterase activity with an IC50 value of 3.26 µM, whereas compound 8 displayed the most potent cytotoxicity against human colon cancer (HT29) cells with an IC50 value of 7.89 µM.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: This study was conducted to assess opportunities and challenges of group discussion in speaking
lessons of Teaching English as a foreign Language at Sendafa Secondary School, particularly in
grade 10. To  assess the opportunities and  challenges of group  discussion in speaking lessons,
descriptive  survey  study was employed. Data were gathered from 150 students, 21.52% of the
total population in three randomly selected classrooms, and four English language teachers
The results of the study revealed that both students and teachers perceive group discussion
positively. As a  result, the majority of students and all of the teachers responded that group
discussion creates conducive environment for learning, motivates learners to learn from each
other, make students feel free to speak with their friends without fear, enhances equal
opportunity for members to practice in the language and helps to develop tolerance and respect
of different ideas.
However, the followings were found to be the main challenges  encountered during  group
discussion. Both teachers and students confirmed that the nature of the activities which does not
motivate students to actively participate  in group discussion is one of the challenges of group
discussion .Since students were not given orientations about their roles in- group discussion, they
did not play their expected roles, some students came with poor educational background and low
language proficiency ;consequently, they intended to use their L1 or they become careless to take
part in activities, group activities were conducted intermittently and  the  time given for group
discussion was not sufficient and teachers did not play their roles properly and they didn‟t use
group discussion regularly.
Therefore, possible recommendations were forwarded to the concerned bodies (school principals,
teachers and students) to play their roles properly and alleviate the existing problems as well as
to use  the  recommendations forwarded  by the study  as an  input in  improving  student‟s
participation in group discussion  of speaking lessons  by the study.

description: We study relativistic fermions in three euclidean dimensions with four- and six-fermion interactions of the Gross-Neveu type. In the limit of many fermion flavors, and besides the isolated free fixed point, the theory displays a line of interacting ultraviolet fixed points. At the endpoint of the critical line, we establish that mass is generated through the spontaneous breaking of quantum scale invariance. Curiously, broken parity symmetry is a prerequisite for the spontaneous generation of mass rather than a consequence thereof. We also calculate critical exponents and find that hyperscaling relations are violated. Further similarities with critical scalar theories, and implications for conformal field theories and higher spin theories are discussed.

description: Within the general framework of using spontaneous CP violation to solve the strong CP problem, we construct a variant Nelson-Barr model in which the Standard Model (SM) quark contribution to the strong CP phase is cancelled by new heavy QCD-charged fermions. This cancellation is ensured by choosing conjugate representations for the new colored states under the same global flavor symmetry of SM quarks. Choosing the global flavor symmetry to be that of minimal flavor violation, we suppress higher-order corrections to the strong CP phase to well below current experimental constraints. More than two dozen massless Goldstone bosons emerge from spontaneous flavor symmetry breaking, which yield strong astrophysical constraints on the symmetry breaking scale. In the early universe, the Goldstone bosons can be thermally produced from their interactions with the heavy colored fermions and contribute to $ΔN_{\rm eff}$ at a measurable level. As a function of reheating temperature, the predicted $ΔN_{\rm eff}$ shows an interesting plateau behavior we dub the ``flavor stairway", which encodes information about the SM quark flavor structure.

description: We show that the recently developed self-consistent theory of Anderson localization with a position-dependent diffusion coefficient is in quantitative agreement with the supersymmetry approach up to terms of the order of $1/g_0^2$ (with $g_0$ the dimensionless conductance in the absence of interference effects) and with large-scale {\it ab-initio} simulations of the classical wave transport in disordered waveguides, at least for $g_0 \gtrsim 0.5$. In the latter case, agreement is found even in the presence of absorption. Our numerical results confirm that in open disordered media, the onset of Anderson localization can be viewed as position-dependent diffusion.

description: We implement an experimental design based on a duopoly game in which subjects choose whether to cooperate in Research and Development (R&D) activities. We first conduct six experimental markets that differ in both the levels of knowledge spillovers and the intensity of competition. Consistently with the theory, we find that the probability of cooperation increases in the level of spillovers and decreases in that of market competition. We then replicate the experimental markets by providing subsidies to subjects who cooperate. Subsidies relevantly increase the probability of cooperation in focus markets, causing, however, a sensible reduction of R&D investments. Overall, our evidence suggests that, depending on the characteristics of the market, the use of public subsidies might be redundant, for firms would anyway joined their R&D efforts; or counterproductive, inducing firms to significantly reduce R&D investments compared to the non-cooperative scenario.
Metallicities of Planet Hosting Stars: A Sample of Giants and Subgiants

description: This work presents a homogeneous derivation of atmospheric parameters and iron abundances for a sample of giant and subgiant stars which host giant planets, as well as a control sample of subgiant stars not known to host giant planets. The analysis is done using the same technique as for our previous analysis of a large sample of planet-hosting and control sample dwarf stars. A comparison between the distributions of [Fe/H] in planet-hosting main-sequence stars, subgiants, and giants within these samples finds that the main-sequence stars and subgiants have the same mean metallicity of \simeq +0.11 dex, while the giant sample is typically more metal poor, having an average metallicity of = -0.06 dex. The fact that the subgiants have the same average metallicities as the dwarfs indicates that significant accretion of solid metal-rich material onto the planet-hosting stars has not taken place, as such material would be diluted in the evolution from dwarf to subgiant. The lower metallicity found for the planet-hosting giant stars in comparison with the planet-hosting dwarfs and subgiants is interpreted as being related to the underlying stellar mass, with giants having larger masses and thus, on average larger-mass protoplanetary disks. In core accretion models of planet formation, larger disk masses can contain the critical amount of metals necessary to form giant planets even at lower metallicities.

EFL TEACHERS’ PERCEPTIONS ON ACTION RESEARCH  AND ITS PERCEIVED CONTRIBUTION TO IMPROVE ELT:  SIX GOVERNMENT SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN FOCUS
Creators: name: ASMAKO YOHANNES HIRIGO
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: This study aims to reveal EFL teachers’ perceptions on action research and its perceived
contribution to improve ELT. The main objective of the  study, therefore, was to
investigate EFL teachers’ perception on action research and perceived contribution of it to
improve English Language Teaching with relation to six government secondary and
preparatory schools of Kembata Tembaro Zone, SNNPRS. In order to attain the
objectives, the study used both quantitative and qualitative research approach for data
collection and analysis. The participants of the study were 42 English language teachers
in the six schools who were   selected using comprehensive sampling. While
questionnaire was used to collect data from teachers, interview was held with six
randomly selected English language teachers in the six schools. The interviewees were
interviewed using semi-structured questions in conversational style. To analyze
quantitative data, frequency and percentage were used. The data were presented in
narrative forms based on the participants’ understanding and interpretation in addition to
my reflective analysis. As the findings, EFL teachers’ perception on action research in the
six schools was very low. Only 24.6% had conducted action research in their schools.
Most of the teachers in the six schools did not understand the contribution of action
research work. Teachers should perceive action research works positively and use the
findings. This helps them to become eager for next operations.

description: We demonstrate that black holes in order $N\ge 4$ Lovelock gravity can exhibit multicritical phase behaviour. We show an explicit example of a quadruple point in $d=10$ fourth-order Lovelock gravity and a quintuple point in $d=14$ sixth-order Lovelock gravity. We also demonstrate that multi-criticality can be realized for uncharged, non-rotating black holes by highlighting a new type of multi-critical point between black holes and thermal radiation. We discuss the methodology used and make comparisons to other black hole multi-critical points in terms of the Gibbs phase rule.

description: Individual differences imply distinctive attributes which exist within individual discerning
one from another.  In academic  sphere,  the matches  or  mismatches  of instructional
practice with the students’ learning preference is usually  determined by the awareness
teachers held about  students’ learning uniqueness.  Therefore, this paper reports
descriptive survey  study assessing  teachers’ awareness and  handling  of students’
individual differences  mainly  motivation and attitude, ability, personality, learning
strategy and gender  in English classroom. The researcher  employed  three instruments:
questionnaire, classroom observation and interview  as data gathering tools.
Questionnaire and observation were used about  teachers’ classroom  practice but
interview  for their awareness.170  students  randomly and8English Language teachers
purposively were selected as sources of data. For the intention of making the data clear
for the readers,  percentage was used to analyze  quantitative data  whereas  qualitative
data  were  described  narrating  in  words  and  whose interpretation  was  done  in
accordance with the objectives of the study. Findings of the study indicated teachers were
not handling  their students’ individual differences and aware of  them  in the classroom.
Moreover, teachers also were not  providing and addressing learners’ learning
differences. Finally, based  on the findings,  recommendations were  pointed  for the
responsible stakeholders to find solutions.

description: CRTS J192848.7-404555 was recognised as a potential contact binary merger candidate on the basis of survey photometry analysis. We have carried out follow up ground based photometry of the system and show that at the recorded coordinates for the system there are two stars approximately 3 seconds of arc apart. Our analysis shows that the fainter of the two stars is the actual variable while the slightly brighter star is of fixed brightness. In addition we show that the reported survey photometry is the result of both stars being treated as a single light source with resultant erroneous light curve solution. The true nature of CRTS J192848.7-404555 shows it to be a low mass contact binary system with a high mass ratio of 0.425, high amplitude of 0.69 magnitude and shallow 24% contact. The system does not have features of orbital instability and is not a potential merger progenitor.

description: This paper aims at analyzing the impact of corporate environmenral information disclosure from the perspective of investors. To that end, we have collected environmental information disclosure data of all Chinese listed companies from 2004 to 2020 and controlled the impacts of annual reports on investor response. We apply the Fama-French five-factor model to calculate the accumulative abnormal returns of stocks during the event window period. Our results suggest that environmental information disclosure can have a significant negative response among investors when we take the impacts of annual reports into consideration. Moreover, we find that heavy-polluting companies and companies with high institutional shareholding are more likely to have negative reactions from investors. Notably, the negative response is found significant after the Ambient Air Quality Standard was revised in 2012. Furthermore, high environmental expenditure and strict environmental regulation will result in negative investor responses, while the political connection can alleviate the negative impacts of environmental information disclosure. The results remain robust in different ways. The findings suggest that listed companies may lack the incentive to engage in environmental management and are reluctant to disclose environmental information. Consequently, the government should formulate a mandatory disclosure policy and provide administrative support to environmentalfriendly companies. Besides, companies should improve innovation technology to cut down environmental costs. Meanwhile, investors should be aware of the importance of corporate environmental behaviors and realize the long-term benefits of environmental management of listed companies.
Parenting, attachment, and perfectionism : a test of the Perfectionism Social Disconnection Model in children and adolescents
Creators: name: Ko, Ariel Hoi Ching
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Perfectionism is a multifaceted personality construct involving perfectionistic traits (i.e., demand for the self and/or others to be perfect), perfectionistic self-presentation (i.e., requirement of the self to appear perfect), and intrapersonal/self-relational perfectionism (i.e., automatic perfectionistic thoughts and self-recriminations). Perfectionism is a risk factor for multiple psychological and physical dysfunction across the lifespan and has been reported to be increasing over the past 30 years (Curran & Hill, 2017). Given the host of difficulties linked to perfectionism and the elevated levels of perfectionism among individuals, further research is needed to determine how perfectionism develops. Hewitt, Flett, and Mikail (2017) proposed a developmental framework of perfectionism as part of their Perfectionism Social Disconnection Model (PSDM). This model suggests that perfectionism stems from attachment insecurities rooted in asynchrony between parental behaviors and a child’s needs. The general goal of the study is to examine whether adverse parenting (i.e., authoritarian parenting, parental psychological control, and parental noninvolvement) and insecure attachment are relevant developmental factors in perfectionism. Specifically, we investigated the relationships among adverse parenting, insecure attachment, and perfectionism, as well as the mediating effect of insecure attachment on the relationship between adverse parenting and perfectionism. A total of 96 parent-child dyads with youth ranging from 8 to 15-years old completed self-report questionnaires on parenting, attachment, and perfectionism. Findings from this study suggest that adverse parenting behaviours and attachment insecurity are influential factors to various trait and self-presentational components of perfectionism. In particular, parental noninvolvement contributed to various trait and self-presentational perfectionism through insecure attachment. Study results provide further empirical support for Hewitt et al.’s (2017) developmental model of perfectionism and suggest the importance of parental noninvolvement and insecure attachment on the development of perfectionism in younger populations. Study findings also shed insight on treatment strategies for children and adolescents struggling with perfectionism.

description: The Alcubierre spacetime was simulated by means of a Tamm medium which is asymptotically identical to vacuum and has constitutive parameters which are ontinuous functions of the spatial coordinates. Accordingly, the Tamm medium is amenable to physical realization as a nanostructured metamaterial. A comprehensive characterization of ray trajectories in the Tamm medium was undertaken, within the geometric-optics regime. Propagation directions corresponding to evanescent waves were identified: these occur in the region of the Tamm medium which corresponds to the warp bubble of the Alcubierre spacetime, especially for directions perpendicular to the velocity of the warp bubble at high speeds of that bubble. Ray trajectories are acutely sensitive to the magnitude and direction of the warp bubble's velocity, but rather less sensitive to the thickness of the transition zone between the warp bubble and its background. In particular, for rays which travel in the same direction as the warp bubble, the latter acts as a focusing lens, most notably at high speeds.
OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES OF GROUP DISCUSSION IN SPEAKING LESSONS OF TEACHING ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE: THE CASE OF SENDAFA  SECONDARY SCHOOL GRADE TEN STUDENTS IN FOCUS
Creators: name: DEJEN MESFIN BERHE
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: This study was conducted to assess opportunities and challenges of group discussion in speaking
lessons of Teaching English as a foreign Language at Sendafa Secondary School, particularly in
grade 10. To assess the opportunities and challenges of group discussion in speaking lessons,
descriptive survey study was employed. Data were gathered from 150 students, 21.52% of the
total population in three randomly selected classrooms, and four English language teachers
The results of the study revealed that both students and teachers perceive group discussion
positively. As a result, the majority of students and all of the teachers responded that group
discussion creates conducive environment for learning, motivates learners to learn from each
other, make students feel free to speak with their friends without fear, enhances equal
opportunity for members to practice in the language and helps to develop tolerance and respect
of different ideas.
However, the followings were found to be the main challenges encountered during group
discussion. Both teachers and students confirmed that the nature of the activities which does not
motivate students to actively participate in group discussion is one of the challenges of group
discussion .Since students were not given orientations about their roles in- group discussion, they
did not play their expected roles, some students came with poor educational background and low
language proficiency ;consequently, they intended to use their L1 or they become careless to take
part in activities, group activities were conducted intermittently and the time given for group
discussion was not sufficient and teachers did not play their roles properly and they didn‟t use
group discussion regularly.
Therefore, possible recommendations were forwarded to the concerned bodies (school principals,
teachers and students) to play their roles properly and alleviate the existing problems as well as
to use the recommendations forwarded by the study as an input in improving student‟s
participation in group discussion of speaking lessons by the study.
THE EFFECT OF STUDENTS’ SELF-REGULETED LEARNING ON READING COMPREHENSION IN EFL CLASSROOM: SELAMBER PREPARATORY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL: GRADE 9 STUDENTS IN FOCUS

Year: 2018

description: The objective of this study was aimed at investigating the effect of self- regulated leaning
strategies of students’ reading comprehension in Selamber Secondary school grade 9 students.
To achieve this general goal, experimental study design was employed involving, experimental
and control groups including 40, participants in each group. To gather the data intended, pre
and post tests and a questionnaire were used as major data collection tools. On the basis of the
analysis and interpretation of the data gathered, the finding showed that the significant number
of participants in experimental group have brought positive change in their test results due to
special treatment given to make them use self- regulated learning strategies. On the other hand,
the control group participants, except for the first pre- test sessions, didn’t show positive change
in their reading performances. Participants of the control group also found to be aware of their
self- regulated learning strategies and seemed to be using them, but they were not found in doing
so as it was revealed in their post test result. Hence, it was concluded that special treatment
designed and given to participants of the experimental group has a significant difference on
reading comprehension control group which have shown no significant change on their test
because they were denied the opportunity and those control group participants found to be
seemed aware of the self- regulated strategies, but practically they were no. so, it was
recommended that it is necessary to create awareness in students with regard to self- regulated
learning strategies for overall benefit of the students; and concerned bodies at schools and
elsewhere should collaborate to facilitate schools suitable for raising self- regulated learning
strategies there to enhance the advantage of all stockholders
