Task Difficulty and Its Components: Are They Alike or Different across Different Macro-genres?
Task difficulty across different macro-genres continues to remain among less attended areas in second language development studies. This study examined the correlation between task difficulty across the descriptive, narrative, argumentative, and expository macro-genres. The three components of task difficulty (i.e., code complexity, cognitive complexity, and communicative stress) were also comp...
متن کاملStandardized patients versus simulated patients in medical education: are they the same or different
In order to equip medical students with all the necessary skills in dealing with patients to provide optimal treatment, the need for the use of real patients in educational settings has become prominent. But all the required skills cannot be practiced on real patients due to patients’ safety and well-being. Thus, the use of standardized patients (SPs) or simulated patients (SiPs) as a substitut...
متن کاملSurrogate measures of arterial stiffness: do they have additive predictive value or are they only surrogates of a surrogate?
Recent epidemiological studies have shown that arterial stiffness, measured through carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), has an independent predictive value for cardiovascular (CV) events in several populations, including patients with uncomplicated essential hypertension1,2 and type 2 diabetes.3 Arterial stiffness is thus an intermediate end point for CV events, predicting CV events inde...
متن کاملToxic Christmas and New Year Holiday Plants...or Are They?
Background: Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima), holly (Ilex opaca) and mistletoe (Phoradendron flavescens) adorn homes during the Christmas and New Year holiday season and create the potential for curious children to sample their colorful leaves and enticing berries.

متن کاملAmbulatory arterial stiffness indices and target organ damage in hypertension
BACKGROUND The present study was designed to evaluate which arterial stiffness parameter - AASI or the home arterial stiffness index (HASI) - correlates best with vascular, cardiac and renal damage in hypertensive individuals. METHODS A cross-sectional study was carried out involving 258 hypertensive patients. AASI and HASI were defined as the 1-regression slope of diastolic over systolic blo...
