The results of research investigating differences in matrix completion abilities between low-SES and middle-SES children have been inconsistent. This study provided a framework in which several unresolved issues could be examined. Item type, order of presentation, training modes, and developmental level were varied in two SES groups in an attempt to clarify previous research findings. The subjects were 288 individually tested children. SES level was determined by the Hollingshead and Redlich (1958) scale while developmental level was represented by first, third, and fifth grade levels. Training consisted of maximal prompt, correctness-of-response feedback, and a no-training-control condition. Subject responded to double classification and enclosure matrix completion item types until a criterion performance was obtained, and were then shown 11 transfer items of each type. The results revealed significant SES, grade, and training main effects. Generally, middle-SES and older subjects were able to learn more efficiently and transfer more effectively than their counterparts. SES and training interacted with item type and order of presentation which indicated differential facilitative effects across SES levels. A major finding was the absence of a significant SES X grade interaction. This result supports a developmental lag as opposed to Level I Level II interpretation.

Cluster Random Sampling

This research aimed to find out the influence of competence-based education and training (CbET) and motivation on the performance of civil service. This research was conducted from November 2008 to April 2009 at Dinas Ketrentaman dan Ketertiban DKI jakarta. A quasi method using stratified cluster random sampling was applied to involve 80 civil service out of 8000 members. The result of this study shows that (1) motivation influences the civil service's performance, (2) the form of CBET influences the civil service's performance; (3) the interaction between the training model and the motivation determines variations in civil service's performance; (4) there are differences between those who join CBET and those who do not. Those who join CBET have higher motivation to perform better. It is expected that these research findings can be used as a guidance to produce a new concept and strategy in education development and training for civil service.

After government control over the media was liberalized in 1998, Indonesian journalists had a new mandate to explore new issues and foster public debate. Several studies had found evidence that women’s health worsened from 1997–99, yet media coverage of this topic was limited. To increase press coverage of reproductive health (RH) topics, the Population Council conducted an 18-month media project in collaboration with the State Ministry for Women’s Empowerment and other key agencies. The project focused on improving RH knowledge and reporting skills among 22 print journalists. Project staff monitored RH coverage in 22 major newspapers, magazines, and tabloids. After Indonesian journalists received background information and training on RH issues, the quality of their coverage improved. However, as noted in this brief, continued efforts are needed to provide media representatives with ideas for news stories and feature articles and training in use of research findings.

This chapter discusses the methods, processes, and outcomes of a Comic Relief-funded three-year community development and advocacy programme undertaken with Refugee and Asylum-Seeking Women (RASW) in London. It focuses on how the use of participatory action research and training delivered by RASW can challenge and inform the way in which ‘professionals’ deliver health and legal services to vulnerable communities. The project, undertaken during 2012–15 by Independent Academic Research Services, a London-based charity, was co-designed with participant beneficiaries with the explicit aim of generating institutional change and increased gender sensitivity in the treatment of RASW, both through harnessing research findings to drive policy and practice change and by allowing women themselves to articulate the problems they currently face in terms of accessing appropriate support.

Investment in biomedical research is believed to drive economic growth and increase human capital, leading to increased productivity and sustainability. Unfortunately, such positive impacts are not palpable among the resource-poor countries. This can be attributed to the poor quality of research findings and the reliability of findings, which often are rarely translated to impactful products or decisions. While the Nigerian governments are making considerable efforts to improve the quality of research through increased funding, as well as sponsorship and training of scholars in technologically advanced institutions. This is in order for the transfer of knowledge to improve the livelihood of its citizens. However, there is still need for the private multinational organizations to support this course.

Selected language acquisition research findings are examined in light of the language teacher's daily needs. Research results are reported that provide an empirical basis for selecting and grading materials, determining skills to be taught and their order of presentation, deciding on classroom presentation and procedures, and formulating evaluation instruments. Acquisition ordering relationships are shown to have a bearing on teaching sequence; that such a sequence should provide for a number of grammatical, semantic, and length constraints and a skills order constraint. In addition, the research provides support for a developmental model of learning, stressing the need for a variety of approaches and supporting a cognitively-based orientation for older children and adults. Other age-related variables are considered and their pedagogical consequences are reviewed.

Myofibril Atpase

Diabetes is characterized by depressed cardiac functional properties attributed to Ca2+-activated ATPase activity. In contrast, endurance swimming enhances the cardiac functional properties and Ca2+-activated myofibril ATPase. Thus, the purpose of this study was to observe if the changes associated with experimental diabetes can be ameliorated with training. Diabetes was induced with a single i.v. injection of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg). Blood and urine glucose concentrations were 802 ± 44 and 6965 ± 617 mg/dL, respectively. The training control and training diabetic animals were made to swim (±2% body weight) 4 days/week for 8 weeks. Cardiac myofibril, at 10 μM free Ca2+ concentration was reduced by 54% in the sedentary diabetics compared with sedentary control animals (p < 0.05). Swim training enhanced the Ca2+-activated myofibril ATPase activities for the normal animals. The diabetic animals, which swam for 8 weeks, had further reduced their Ca2+-activated myofibril ATPase activity when compared with sedentary diabetics (p < 0.05). Similarly, the Mg2+-stimulated myofibril ATPase activity was depressed by 31% in diabetics following endurance swimming. It is concluded that the depressed Ca2+-activated myofibril ATPase activity of diabetic hearts is not reversible with endurance swimming.

Abstract The objectives of the research are as follows: 1) to study the global-mindedness of vocational certificate students; 2) to compare the global-mindedness of these students by grade level, with a sample group of 361 vocational certificate students studying at the vocational certificate level in the 2016 academic year, obtained by stratified random sampling, and 3) to rank the needs for the global-mindedness of these students. The instruments used in the data collection consisted of a questionnaire on the global-mindedness expectation and authenticity of vocational certificate students, which contained 40 questions, covering four aspects, evaluated for content validity by qualified experts. The statistics used in the data analysis were mean, standard deviation, one-way analysis of variance, and the Modified Priority Needs Index (PNI). The research findings are as follows: 1) the level of global-mindedness of the vocational certificate students is high; 2) there were no differences in the global-mindedness of vocational certificate students studying at different grade levels; 3) the needs, ranked in descending order, consisted of acceptance of cultural diversity, attention to global issues, interconnectedness and peace, and world citizenship.
