Abstract Academic literacy as an embodiment of higher-order language and thinking skills within the academic community bears huge significance for socialization, resource distribution even power disposition larger sociocultural context. However, although notion has been initiated more than twenty years, there still lacks a clear definition operationalization construct. The study conducted syste...

This paper describes the relative effectiveness of seven variables of three categories in predicting the readability of the EFL texts used in the Japanese context. The factors examined in our research were (1) word difficulty and (2) idiom difficulty, in addition to the commonly used variables, sentence length (SL) and word length (WL). In the analysis of word difficulty three measures were con...

In an increasingly wired world, digital libraries are increasingly serving a worldwide audience. Even if initially designed for a local user population, a digital library can easily fi nd itself not only serving its own community and culture, but also representing that society to a larger, international audience. As ”cultural ambassadors” to the world (Komlodi, Caidi & Wheeler 2004, 585), then,...

Based on the theory of multiple intelligences, combined with homework design scheme a module in junior high school English textbook foreign research edition, this paper expounds application project-based teaching. It can cultivate students' speech language intelligence, logical mathematical visual spatial interpersonal intelligence and self-awareness intelligence.

This study examined estimates of their own, and their parents' general and multiple intelligences. Three hundred and twenty three students from East Timor, and one hundred eighty three students from Portugal estimated their own, and their parents' IQ scores on each of Gardner's ten multiple intelligences. Men believed they were more intelligent than were women on mathematical (logical), spatial...

The forced oscillation technique can identify expiratory flow limitation (EFL) when a large difference in inspiratory and expiratory reactance (ΔXrs) occurs. However, flow limitation can vary from breath to breath, and so we compared a multiple-breath ΔXrs approach to the traditional breath-by-breath assessment of EFL. We investigated the within- and between-day reproducibility and the factors ...

In 2008, Muneta found explicit evaluation of the multiple zeta star value $$\zeta ^\star (\{3, 1\}^d)$$ , and in 2013, Yamamoto proved a sum formula for values on 3–2–1 indices. this paper, we provide another way deriving formulas mentioned above. It is based our previous work generating functions also constructions restricted sums alternating Euler sums. As result, obtained are simpler computa...

The aim of this study includes investigation into the impact of education based on Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) on educational achievement of high school students (Grade II) in mathematics from Garmsar City. The current study is of applied type in terms of nature since research is seeking for testing of some theoretical concepts in real and live situations. Whereas the presen...
