The study investigated EFL teachers' current level of critical consciousness as well as their beliefs about the educational context where they taught. The study also explored how gender, teaching experience, workplace and academic degree differentiated the participants with regard to their critical consciousness. Drawing upon the related literature and the existing questionnaires in the field, ...

This demo introduces a closed form representation of the L-F model for excitation source. The representation provides flexible of source parameters in continuous time axis and aliasing-free excitation signal. MATLAB implementation of the model combined with an interactive parameter control and visual and sound feedback is a central component of educational/research tools for speech science. The...

The Autopsy Committee of The College of American Pathologists has prepared this guideline in conjunction with representatives of other organizations to assist pathologists in autopsy procedures for brain, spinal cord, and neuromuscular system. The guideline is to be regarded as being primarily an educational tool. Application of these recommendations on autopsy reporting is to be made on the ba...

The introduction of e-learning resources into education systems, rests on the premise that the integration of technology into educational-curriculum promises to enhance students’ learning experience. The impetus of using elearning systems is to facilitate the students’ learning processes, through the deployment of an enriched curriculum, multimedia-based teaching-learning materials, innovative ...

Comparability between different public examinations in the same and also dzfferent subjects, has been a continuing requirement in the UK. There is a current renewed interest in between-subject comparability, especially at A-level. The present paper examines the assumptions behind attempts to achieve comparability and explores the educational implications of some of the statistical procedures wh...

PURPOSE The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of a predoctoral clinical educational program on preparation and beliefs of participants related to infant oral health. METHODS Questionnaires were constructed and mailed out to four classes of past dental students, two of which had attended the program. RESULTS Significant differences were detected between groups regarding their feel...

The result of the biomechanical modeling, analysis, and experimental phases would be the development of scientific design criteria for implants. Implant designs meeting these criteria would be generated, fabricated, and tested in animals. After design acceptance, these implants would be tested in humans, using efficient and safe surgical and restorative procedures. Finally, educational media an...

The MTTK alignment toolkit for statistical machine translation can be used for word, phrase, and sentence alignment of parallel documents. It is designed mainly for building statistical machine translation systems, but can be exploited in other multi-lingual applications. It provides computationally efficient alignment and estimation procedures that can be used for the unsupervised alignment of...

The volume of blood sampled for blood culture determines its sensitivity. We measured low mean blood volumes in submitted aerobic (8.38 ± 3.88 ml) and anaerobic (7.16 ± 3.83 ml) blood culture bottles. Educational seminars were held for phlebotomy teams, and renewed measurements thereafter revealed significantly higher blood volumes in submitted aerobic (9.77 ± 4.42 ml) and anaerobic (8.30 ± 3.6...
