This paper argues that Information Technology (IT) needs to be demystified, through critical consciousness, for educators to focus on IT as a means to enhance learning. It goes on to define the technical, sociohistorical and political-ideological levels of IT and to identify four theoretical constructs: tutorial, machine-as-human, tool kit and catalyst. Pervading these constructs is the underst...

the purpose of this paper is to obtain necessary and suffcient conditionsfor existence approximate fixed point on geraghty-contraction. in this paper,denitions of approximate -pair fixed point for two maps tα , sα and theirdiameters are given in a metric space.

The super-Brownian motion X % in a super-Brownian medium % constructed in DF96a] is known to be persistent (no loss of expected mass in the longtime behaviour) in dimensions one ((DF96a]) and three ((DF96b]). Here we ll the gap in showing that persistence holds also in the critical dimension two. The key to this result is that in any dimension (d 3); given the catalyst, the variance of the proc...

Background: In recent years, nanomaterials have been widely used in large quantities which make people bemore frequently exposed to the chemically synthesized nanoparticles (NPs). When NPs are introduced intoan organism, they may interact with a variety of cellular components with yet largely unknown pathologicalconsequences.Objective: I...

Purpose: The present systematic review and meta-analysis aims to investigate the role of posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) in the control of fecal incontinence (FI). Methods: Two independent reviewers extensively searched in the electronic databases of Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Web of Science, CINAHL, and Scopus for the studies published...
