The paper makes a study on the motivational strategies to be employed in the flipped class...

How can we explain variation in demand for redistribution among cross-pressured voters? We argue that redistributive preferences reflect an interaction between material self-interest and political ideology. The argument predicts growing opposition to as income increases, while the of ideologically driven suggests left-leaning citizens are more supportive than right-leaning citizens. Focusing on...

OBJECTIVES Semicircular lipoatrophy (SL) is an emerging occupational pathology. Its etiology is poorly understood. We intend to establish the probable risk factors and estimate the relative risk. METHODS A case-control study was performed. Our company had 55 diagnosed cases. As controls, we used the 3 closest healthy coworkers to each case. We calculated the chi square, odds ratio and logisti...

Teachers have tried to teach their students by introducing text books along with verbal instructions in traditional education system. However, teaching and learning methods could be changed for developing Information and Communication Technology (ICT). It's time to adapt students with interactive learning system so that they can improve their learning, catching, and memorizing capabilities. It ...

The arm-swing motion is important for coordinated lower limb movement during a fast sprint and is composed of three-dimensional scapulothoracic and glenohumeral joint motion. Here, we aimed to clarify the role of the scapula during the initiation of a sprint running when sprinter run with high horizontal acceleration. Ten sports-active students participated in four 5-m dashes, with scapular con...

Social media and social networks contribute to shape the debate on societal and policy issues, but the dynamics of this process is not well understood. As a case study, we monitor Twitter activity on a wide range of environmental issues. First, we identify influential users and communities by means of a network analysis of the retweets. Second, we carry out a content-based classification of the...

The belief network framework for reasoning with uncertainty in knowledgebased systems has been around for some time now. As more and more practical applications employing the framework are being developed, it becomes apparent that the framework lacks with regard to explicit means for exerting control over reasoning. In this paper, we extend the belief network framework with a method for selecti...
