ous fluid by producing 0.5-mm holes. There is no reference given to this observation, therefore it is not clear how this observation was determined. The article states that the laser fiber is 200  m. It is unclear how this would create 500m ostia. On page 286, an aiming beam is mentioned in the Surgical Technique section. However, unless the AIDA laser system has been modified, and this is not...

after the teacher, the most important factor in foreign language classroom is the textbook. it is vital that the best possible text be chosen for each situation. even with the development of new technologies that allow for higher quality teacher-generated materials, demand for textbooks continues to grow, and the publishing industry responds with new series and textbooks each year. therefore, i...

It is accepted that pulmonary exposure of rodents to porcine pancreatic elastase (ELT) induces lesions that morphologically resemble human emphysema. Nonetheless, extensive analysis of this model has rarely been conducted. The present study was designed to extensively examine the effects of ELT on lung inflammation, cell damage, emphysematous change, and cholinergic reactivity in rats. Intratra...

GATA transcription factors play important roles in directing developmental genetic programs and cell differentiation, and are conserved in animals, plants and fungi. C. elegans has 11 GATA-type transcription factors that orchestrate development of the gut, epidermis and vulva. However, the expression of certain GATA proteins persists into adulthood, where their function is less understood. Accu...

This paper tries to examine how Japanese university students conceptualize English and Japanese ELT by analyzing their interview texts. As an analytical approach, I used Critical Discourse Analysis in order to identify how the students’ conceptualizations of English and Japanese ELT were established in the discursive structures constituting Japanese ELT discourse, such as power relationships be...

Compliance with the legal limits set at European level for content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), which are harmful to human health and environment, is central importance recycling rubber, particularly end-of-life tires (ELT), into secondary products, e.g., elastic fall protection mats or anti-slip transport sector. However, different regulations associated analytical methods apply ...

BACKGROUND Cataract surgery combined with excimer laser trabeculotomy (phaco-ELT) can reduce intraocular pressure (IOP). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of phaco-ELT on IOP in patients as a function of preoperative IOP. METHODS Patients with open-angle glacuoma or ocular hypertension who received phaco-ELT between 01/2008 and 10/2009 were included. Patients were assigned base...

BACKGROUND Available models for designing the structure of specific simulation-based learning (SBL) activities need further analysis. METHOD This retrospective study was conducted using independent samples t tests to examine differences in mean clinical nursing judgment development scores between students who completed a nursing program prior to the introduction of an experiential learning th...

The Covid-19 outbreak has caused a sudden transformation of learning from offline to online modes. Such raises the importance ICT as an integral constituent learning. Hence, present mixed-method study aimed probe into use in ELT and perceived impacts on students’ betterment Eleven English lecturers State Islamic Institute Curup were incorporated participants. quantitative data two foci garnered...

BACKGROUND Simulation-based learning is a common educational tool in health care training and frequently involves instructional designs based on Experiential Learning Theory (ELT). However, little research explores the effectiveness and efficiency of different instructional design methodologies appropriate for simulations. The aim of this study was to compare 2 instructional design models, ELT ...
