Abstract This study aimed to integrate self-regulation strategies into dynamic assessment procedures of listening comprehension in an EFL setting and examine the possibility raising students’ skills. In addition, it explored enhancing learners’ potential scores through applying activities as a tool for motivating learners while being assessed. The procedure was based on Vygotsky’s notion zone p...

the critical role and effect of teacher assessment in elt has been ratified by researchers among whom are darling-hammond (2000); knox (2002); bailey (2006); davison & cummins (2007); and blum (2009).taking this issue into account, this exploratory study seeks to investigate the underlying criteria of both recruiting and assessing in-service efl teachers in private language institutes of ir...

1,3-Butadiene (BD) is an environmental and occupational toxicant classified as a human carcinogen. It is oxidized by cytochrome P450 monooxygenases to 1,2-epoxy-3-butene (EB), which alkylates DNA. BD exposures lead to large numbers of mutations at A:T base pairs even though alkylation of guanines is more prevalent, suggesting that one or more adenine adducts of BD play a role in BD-mediated gen...

Dopamine (DA) neurons of the substantia nigra (SN) and ventral tegmental area (VTA) respond to a wide category of salient stimuli. Activation of SN and VTA DA neurons, and consequent release of nigrostriatal and mesolimbic DA, modulates the processing of concurrent glutamate inputs to dorsal and ventral striatal target regions. According to the view described here, this occurs under conditions ...

PURPOSE To assess hemoglobin (Hb) outcomes and fatigue-related quality-of-life (QoL) (electronic assessment) in patients with solid tumors and symptomatic chemotherapy-induced anemia receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy and darbepoetin alfa (DA) or another erythropoiesis-stimulating agent according to European indication. METHODS eAQUA was a Phase IV prospective observational study. The primary o...

For a finite abelian group G and a finite subset A ⊆ Z, the Davenport constant of G with weight A, denoted by DA(G), is defined to be the smallest positive integer k such that for any sequence (x1, . . . , xk) of k elements in G there exists a non-empty subsequence (xj1 , . . . , xjr) and a1, . . . , ar ∈ A such that ∑r i=1 ai xji = 0. To avoid trivial cases, one assumes that the weight set A d...

Discriminant analysis DA is used for the measurement of estimates of a discriminant function by minimizing their group misclassifications to predict group membership of newly sampled data. A major source of misclassification in DA is due to the overlapping of groups. The uncertainty in the input variables and model parameters needs to be properly characterized in decision making. This study com...

da is a memory of iraqi war against iran. this narration of war is a representation of young girl life that had a significant role in her own time. this book challenges masculinity of war and passes out gender as a limitation. the important narration of war, mentioned in da, has been associated with 150 republication and these elements confirm research on da. this article tries to attempts to a...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of concurrent resistance and endurance cycle training on physiologic and performance parameters of cyclists. Before and after a 6-week training intervention period, 14 well-trained male cyclists completed a maximal graded exercise test, a 30-km dynamic cycling test with 3 intermittent 250-m and 1-km sprints, and a 1 repetition maximum (1RM...

Twelve providers (eight institutions) participating in a Gender and Sex Diversity Fertility Working Group completed a survey assessing their hospital's transgender, disorders/differences of sex development (DSD), and fertility healthcare teams. Participants also prioritized the development of a: (1) Provider Assessment Tool (questionnaire assessing knowledge/feelings about future fertility), or...
