Creating Authentic Literacy Tasks Influences Children's Engagement And Motivation, Carly Rothfusz

Innovations and Critical Issues in Teaching and Learning

The academic task assigned to students often dictates what the student will learn, and it plays a vital role of student’s motivation and engagement of learning (Turner & Paris, 1995). Thus, the creation and usage of authentic literacy tasks is critical for students’ learning (Parsons, Malloy, Parsons, & Burrowbridge, 2015). There are three types of motivation to consider: intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and autonomous motivation. The use of authenticity, student choice, collaboration, and challenge are all components within a task that can promote student engagement and motivation. Project-Based Learning (PBL) is another way to bring in authenticity. Project-based instruction allows …

The Effect Of Drama Based Instruction On Reading Comprehension, Janee Udalla

Innovations and Critical Issues in Teaching and Learning

Educators might believe that classroom drama is comparable to putting on a theatrical production and might avoid it because they fear it will involve time-consuming planning, use of props, and expensive scripts (McMaster, 1998). Unfortunately, this view can discourage educators from using an important teaching tool that can improve students’ reading comprehension skills. However, educators should explore the use of drama-based instruction and the benefits it may provide to their students. The methods teachers implement in the classroom greatly affect the attitudes and learning of their students (Author, 2008). Therefore, the purpose of this article is to identify the benefits …

Natural Product Heme Oxygenase Inducers As Treatment For Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, David E. Stec, Terry D. Hinds Jr.

Pharmacology and Nutritional Sciences Faculty Publications

Heme oxygenase (HO) is a critical component of the defense mechanism to a wide variety of cellular stressors. HO induction affords cellular protection through the breakdown of toxic heme into metabolites, helping preserve cellular integrity. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a pathological condition by which the liver accumulates fat. The incidence of NAFLD has reached all-time high levels driven primarily by the obesity epidemic. NALFD can progress to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), advancing further to liver cirrhosis or cancer. NAFLD is also a contributing factor to cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. There are currently no drugs to specifically treat NAFLD, with …

Fracture Properties And Process Zone Length Of High Strength Concrete Using Size Effect Method., Ahmed Hassan Abdel-Reheem, Mohamed Gamal Mohamed Mahdy

Mansoura Engineering Journal

This paper gives a report on a fracture mechanics study of legal strength concrete with compressive strength up 80 MPa.. 6 mixes were selected, designed to achieve a slump above 100 mm and strength up to 80 MPa.. The investigation used tiered levels of silica fume(0, 10%, 20% by weight of cement) and two coarse aggregate proportions of local aggregate (0.48, 0.65 by volume) In each case, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength fracture energy Gr and Fracture process zone Cr were determined. A test method for determining fracture energy Gr and process zone length Cr, defined by the …

Non-Communicable Diseases Among Adolescents: Current Status, Determinants, Interventions And Policies, N Akseer, S Mehta, J Wigle, R Chera, Z J. Brickman, S Al-Gashm, B Sorichetti, A Vandermorris, D B. Hipgrave, N Schwalbe, Zulfiqar Ahmed Bhutta

Woman and Child Health

Background: Addressing non-communicable disease (NCDs) is a global priority in the Sustainable Development Goals, especially for adolescents. However, existing literature on NCD burden, risk factors and determinants, and effective interventions and policies for targeting these diseases in adolescents, is limited. This study develops an evidence-based conceptual framework, and highlights pathways between risk factors and interventions to NCD development during adolescence (ages 10-19 years) and continuing into adulthood. Additionally, the epidemiologic profile of key NCD risk factors and outcomes among adolescents and preventative NCD policies/laws/legislations are examined, and a multivariable analysis is conducted to explore the determinants of NCDs among adolescents …

Integration Of Brain Based Learning And Intelligent Tutoring System For Developing Pedagogical Software., A. El-Gamal

Mansoura Engineering Journal

The development of intelligent tutoring systems and learning environments has become an important issue in both computer science and education. This paper presents pedagogical software for a secondary school biology course. The proposed system integrates the concepts of Brain Based Learning (BBL) and intelligent tutoring system to adapt the learning interface according to the student thinking style. The system is formalized as finite automata with some attributes that allow lemur interaction (image, video, text, color, sound and contents) and some user's brain characteristics (right, left, and integrated thinking style). For the same contents and strategy the information of the learner …

Modeling Combustion Of Straw-Bitumen-Pellets In A Fluidized Bed., Farouk Okasha

Mansoura Engineering Journal

Recently straw-bitumen-pellets have been proposed as an alternative fuel. This work presents a mathematical model for steady state combustion of straw-bitumen-pellets in a bubbling fluidized bed. The combustor is divided into three zones; dense bed, splashing zone and freeboard. Important processes including volatile segregation, char comminution and elutriation, bed particles ejection; and post-combustion in splashing zone and freeboard have been considered and simplified. Submodels for hydrodynamic, volatile release and combustion, and char consumption have been implemented. Energy balance for splashing zone and freeboard has been set to predict axial temperature profile. Model results demonstrate that about 53% of volatiles combustion …

Sex Differences In Renal Mitochondrial Function: A Hormone-Gous Opportunity For Research, Regina F. Sultanova, Ryan Schibalski, Irina A. Yankelevich, Krisztian Stadler, Daria V. Ilatovskaya

Division of Basic Science Faculty Publications

Sex differences (biological distinctions between males and females) present a complex interplay of genetic, developmental, biological, and environmental factors. More and more studies are shedding light on the importance of sex differences in normal physiology and susceptibility to cancer, cardiovascular and renal conditions, and neurodegenerative diseases. This mini-review is devoted to the role of sex dimorphisms in renal function, with a focus on the distinctions between male and female mitochondria. Here, we cover the aspects of renal mitochondrial bioenergetics where sex differences have been reported to date, for instance, biogenesis, reactive oxygen species production, and oxidative stress. Special attention is …

Optomechanical Entanglement At Room Temperature: A Simulation Study With Realistic Conditions, Kahlil Y. Dixon, Lior Cohen, Narayan Bhusal, Christopher Wipf, Jonathan P. Dowling, Thomas Corbitt

Faculty Publications

Quantum entanglement is the key to many applications like quantum key distribution, quantum teleportation, and quantum sensing. However, reliably generating quantum entanglement in macroscopic systems has proven to be a challenge. Here, we present a detailed analysis of ponderomotive entanglement generation in a movable-end-mirror-type optomechanical cavity. These cavities utilize optomechanical interactions between the intracavity field and the end mirror to create quantum correlations. We numerically calculate an entanglement measure, the logarithmic negativity, for the quantitative assessment of the entanglement. Experimental limitations, including thermal noise and optical loss, from measurements of an existing experiment were included in the calculation, which is …
