In the contemporary English language classroom, technology keeps an important role to support learning. The present research focuses only on tools, i.e., Smart Boards, tablets/laptops, and LMS (online learning management system), which teachers utilize in their class at level of Preparatory School, BS Master Turkish Republic Northern Cyprus (TRNC). Moreover, qualitative observational examines t...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the radioprotective and reparative effects of compounds based on aloe vera, zinc, and copper against salivary gland dysfunction in Wistar rats. A total of 150 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 12 groups, in which the animals received aloe vera and/or zinc and copper. In eight of these groups the animals were also subjected to irradiation before or afte...

The present study was carried out to evaluate the antioxidative effect of Aloe vera (A. vera) aqueous leaf extract on hepatotoxicity induced by SO2 inhalation in male albino rats. Hepatotoxicity was assessed by estimating the Serum Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) and histopathological changes in liver...

SNPs from nrDNA and trnC-trnD cp DNA for the Caribbean junipers have provided additional insight into the evolution of this group of smooth leaf margined junipers. Comparing leaf terpenoids, RAPDS and SNPs from nrDNA and trnC-trnD cp DNA show that each data set reveals different facets of the relationships. In general, the data sets support four major groups: Juniperus barbadensis lucayana; J. ...

In attempting to force ALVINN’ into their already bulging symbolist tent, Vera and Simon (1993a, 1993b, 1993c) have burst the seams of the physical symbol system hypothesis (PSSH; Newell, 1980a; Newell & Simon, 1976). We would like to present another view of representation in connectionist networks and respond to statements about ALVINN by both Vera and Simon and Green0 and Moore (1993). In so ...

BACKGROUND Stomatitis is the most common complication of chemotherapy. This study aimed to assess the effect of aloe vera solution on stomatitis and its pain intensity in patients undergoing chemotherapeutic procedures. METHODS In this randomized controlled clinical trial, 64 patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia undergoing chemotherapy were randomly divided into...

Oxidizing agents play a major role in the pathogenesis of liver diseases. Pistacia vera (P. vera), contains many antioxidant substances including coenzyme 10, vitamin E and beta-carotene. The current study was designed to evaluate the probable effects of P. vera on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced hepatotoxicity in male rats. Frothy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups inc...

Cloud point extraction (CPE) as a rapid, simple and efficient method coupled with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used for sample preparation and subsequent determination of carbazole, trinitrocarbazole (TrNC) and tetra nitro carbazole (TNC) in water samples. Some effective parameters on extraction, such as volume of Triton X-100, extraction time, extraction temperature, ionic...
