dynamic assessment (da) which is rooted in vygotsky’s (1978) sociocultural theory involves the integration of instruction and assessment in a dialectical way to achieve two main purposes: enhancing learners' development and understanding about their learning potential. however, the feasibility and appropriateness of mediation are two main concerns of da. the former is concerned with the applica...

BACKGROUND At present, Da Vinci robotic assisted hepatectomy has been routinely carried out in conditional units. But there is no report concerning the use of Da Vinci robots for hepatic hydatid cystectomy and experience on this aspect is seldom mentioned before. This study was to summarize the preliminary experience in laparoscopic resection of hepatic hydatidectocyst with the Da Vinci Surgica...

BACKGROUND Nocardia are organisms that can escape the effects of both immune response and antimicrobial agents, due to their potential capacity to grow intracellularly. In previous studies, we found that experimental oxazolidinones, DA-7157 and DA-7218, are active both in vitro and in vivo. OBJECTIVES In this study, we compare the ability of linezolid, DA-7157 and DA-7218 to inhibit intracell...

the purpose of this study was to explore whether film-based dynamic assessment (da) could affect english writing of iranian deaf children. ten students studying in a school for the deaf took part in the study. the participants’ writing ability was measured prior to the treatment and the errors which were identified. a series of meditating activities were designed and implemented during a three-...

Neurobehaviorists predominantly use certain kinds of tasks in combination with distinct cortical lesions (9, 18). For the prefrontal cortex, the most commonly favored problems are the delayed-reaction-type tasks (13-15, 17, 18). One form or these tasks-the (spatial) delayed-alternation (DA) task-requires the animal to alternate between two spatially separated cues and/or responses, whereby a de...

awake intubation is the choice for airway management in anticipated difficult airway (da), which means establishing airway without induction of deep sedation; however, in cases where sedation is precarious, decision in emergency situations, success in awake intubation is dependent on proper regional airway block. a 21 year old man with bilateral temporo-mandibular ankyolosis and a 25 years old ...

A survey of paraconsistent logics that are prominent representatives of the different approaches that have been followed to develop paraconsistent logics is provided. The paraconsistent logics that will be discussed are an enrichment of Priest’s logic LP, the logic RM3 from the school of relevance logic, da Costa’s logics Cn, Jaśkowski’s logic D2, and Subrahmanian’s logics Pτ . A deontic logic ...
