The phenomena of misconception and the poor conceptual understanding are theproblems frequently occur in science learning. Traditional learning models have not yet hadsignificant impact on the improvement of conceptual understanding and the effort formisconceptions remedies. This study aims to find out the effectiveness of cognitive conflictbasedlearning model in enhancing students’ conceptual understandings and remediating theirmisconceptions. The method used is a quasi-experiment with control group pretest-posttestdesign. The samples consist of three sample classes of the students from department ofphysics. The research instrument is a static fluid concept test with two tier-multiple choice testtype which completed by an open-ended test. The data obtained in the form of the students’conceptual understanding levels which were analyzed by using the technique of percentage.The results show that the cognitive conflict-based learning model is effective in reducingmisconceptions, whereas the traditional learning precisely adds misconceptions. Theimplication of this research is the cognitive conflict-based learning model has smart syntaxes,namely, (1) activation of preconception and misconception, (2) presentation of cognitiveconflict, (3) discovery of concepts and equations, and (4) reflection, which have advantages inremediating misconceptions, besides it can improve the students’ conceptual understanding.

There are many diseases or health issues that commonly occur among Indians like Infectious, contagious and waterborne diseases such as typhoid, infectious hepatitis, diarrhea, worm infestations, measles, whooping cough, respiratory infections, malaria, tuberculosis, pneumonia etc. India is a country which is quite infamous for its sanitation and cleanliness. The chaotic waste management system and urban planning is responsible for the overowing gutters and scattered waste. School students has to suffer a lot because of this mismanagement. To add to the poor sanitary conditions, the population load is increasing each day. This has resulted in slums and poverty. The poor and unhealthy living is the primary cause for many health disorders (Mehta, 2014). The goals of the School Students Health problems continue to focus on disease prevention and health promotion, but have areas of expanded focus. First, the goals emphasize quality of life, wellbeing, and functional capacity—all important wellness considerations. Consistent with national health goals for the new millennium, this book is designed to aid all school students adopting healthy lifestyles that will allow them to achieve lifetime health, tness and wellness. This emphasis is based on the World Health Organization statement that “It is counterproductive to evaluate development of programs without considering their impact on the quality of life of the community. School Students can no longer maintain strict, articial divisions between physical and mental well-being (World Health Organization, 1995).” Second, the new national health goals take the “bold step” of trying to “eliminate” health disparities as opposed to reducing them as outlined in Healthy School Students.

In recent years, deep learning models have shown great potential in source code modeling and analysis. Generally, deep learning-based approaches are problem-specific and data-hungry. A challenging issue of these approaches is that they require training from scratch for a different related problem. In this work, we propose a transfer learning-based approach that significantly improves the performance of deep learning-based source code models. In contrast to traditional learning paradigms, transfer learning can transfer the knowledge learned in solving one problem into another related problem. First, we present two recurrent neural network-based models RNN and GRU for the purpose of transfer learning in the domain of source code modeling. Next, via transfer learning, these pre-trained (RNN and GRU) models are used as feature extractors. Then, these extracted features are combined into attention learner for different downstream tasks. The attention learner leverages from the learned knowledge of pre-trained models and fine-tunes them for a specific downstream task. We evaluate the performance of the proposed approach with extensive experiments with the source code suggestion task. The results indicate that the proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art models in terms of accuracy, precision, recall and F-measure without training the models from scratch.

A New Technique

Xerostomia is often a contributing factor in both minor and serious health problems. It can affect nutrition and dental as well as psychological health. Common problems faced by such patients are glossitis, mucositis, angular cheilitis, dysgeusia, and difficulty in chewing and swallowing. One of the major problems associated with xerostomic patients is the poor tolerance and retention of removable dental prostheses because of thin dry atrophic mucosa and lack of a saliva film. This paper describes a new technique of incorporating a salivary reservoir in the maxillary complete denture. The salivary reservoir fabricated by this technique provided good lubrication of the oral tissues and was easily cleansed by the wearer and was fabricated from routine denture materials.

No Islāmic Scholar in Lagos State will deny the fact that, Zakāt is the most abandoned out of the five pillars of Islām . Even, the few affluent Muslims who pay attention to it may not be perfect in its annual deduction and disbursement. This study assessed and evaluated the application of Zakāt as employed by Iba Housing Estate Zakāt Agency for Poverty Alleviation with a view of determining its success in ameliorating poverty among Muslims in the community. Using field and library based researches; it has been found that the agency has recorded a very little success in its few years of operation with the small fund available to operate upon. Its best practices include, rendering of support and assistance to the needy and the poor challenged with health problems, widows, orphans etc. within the area. However, the sources of income of the agency are circumscribed to only Zakāt payment which cannot create an avenue for outstanding impacts. The study recommends among others, that in order to contribute immensely to reduce poverty, as well as to be able to cover the needs of the poor Muslims in the community, the agency should diversify its efforts in getting more funds from other lawful sources, groups, agencies and wealthy individuals who have been showing interest in supporting their cause.

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are one of major public health problems and their impact is continuously growing. Curcumin has been proposed for the treatment of several of these pathologies, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) due to the ability of this molecule to reduce inflammation and aggregation of involved proteins. Nevertheless, the poor metabolic stability and bioavailability of curcumin reduce the possibilities of its practical use. For these reasons, many curcumin derivatives were synthetized in order to overcome some limitations. In this review will be highlighted recent results on modification of curcumin scaffold in the search of new effective therapeutic agents against NDs, with particular emphasis on AD.

Purpose. The objective of this study is to suggest and demonstrate the feasibility of a new learning model and compare learning outcomes due to the traditional and developed learning models. Methods. The advantages of the developed model are proved in accordance with  statistical processing of the pedagogical experiment results using Statistica. The experiment involves 786 students who are aged 13-14 and study in grades 7-8. The time parameters of the duration of individual elements of the lesson in the traditional learning model are consistent with the methodological literature (Horonovska & Samsonova, 1985; Sadovyi, Vovkotrub, & Tryfonova, 2013). Results. The methodology of selecting generic content units (GCUs) from the subject content and their division into theoretical (TCUs) and experimental (ECUs) content units is elaborated. The total time of all TCUs gives the duration of the teaching process while the time of all ECUs is the duration of the knowledge process acquisition, and the time of GCUs is the duration of the learning process. The result of the GCUs presentation offers two learning models: traditional (sequential) and developed (parallel) ones. Conclusions.    The broad implication of the present research is that the developed "parallel" model allows using the time effectively for practical students’ research work at physics lessons, and enables to give better learning outcomes, use individual and group forms of learning with observance of individualization and differentiation learning principle. This model assists in building pedagogical teaching technologies for different subjects.
