The aim of this study was to identify the degree and correlations between nurse image and nursing professionalism according to nursing students' gender. The subjects were composed of 223 nursing students in college using convenience sampling method. There was no significant difference between nurse image and nursing professionalism of male and female students in statistical analysis (t=1.54, p=...

L2 written corrective feedback has been investigated from different perspectives in SLA research (e.g. Ahmadian & Tajabadi, 2015; Bitchener & Knoch, 2010; Ferris, 2006). Taking the cognitive and sociocultural paradigms into account, the aims of the current study are twofold: Firstly, it attempts to find if corrective feedback is effective in improving the linguistic accuracy of L2 learners' ten...

OBJECTIVE To examine links between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia. STUDY DESIGN Obese (body mass index [BMI] >95th percentile for age and gender) children who snored (n = 62, 46 males, age 10.89 [5-16 years] underwent polysomnography and metabolic studies. RESULTS Respiratory disturbance index (RDI) was 9.23 (0-95), with 23 children (39%) recommended for...

Positive modulators of the excitatory amino acid receptor a-Amino-3hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole Propionate (AMPA) has been shown to enhance memory and learning tasks performed by rodents and by human subjects. A new class of AMPA receptor modulators has been recently synthesized. These compounds belong to the class of organic nitrate ester of the nitroglycerine family and are designated GT-2 1-...

CONTEXT Health care professionals, educators, and others are increasingly called upon to advise parents and policymakers about risks posed to children by Internet use. However, little scientific information exists on the experiences of children online. OBJECTIVE To assess the risk factors surrounding online sexual solicitations of youth and distress due to solicitation. DESIGN, SETTING, AND...

This paper discusses new results derived for regulating the output of the Sprott-P system (1994), which is one of the paradigms of 3-dimensional chaotic systems discovered by J.C. Sprott. For the constant tracking problem, new state feedback control laws have been derived for regulating the output of the Sprott-P system. Numerical simulations are shown to illustrate the effectiveness of the con...

the research was aimed at finding out the effects of the implementation of writing feedback techniques and students’ writing anxiety on students’ writing ablity. experimental method of 3x2 factorial design was employed in the research. there were three experimental groups of students who were taught by using teacher feedback, peer feedback and the combination of peer and teacher feedback writin...

The effect of error feedback on the accuracy of output task types such as editing task, text reconstruction task, picture cued writing task, and dictogloss task, has not been clearly explored. Following arguments concerning that the combination of both corrective feedback and output makes it difficult to determine whether their effects were in combination or alone, the purpose of the present st...
