Abstract The study investigates predictors of the acquisition of selected English phonemes in a foreign language context. Czech students’ pronunciation was diagnosed by two tests; their ability to produce seven selected phonemes was assessed. Furthermore, data regarding the students’ learning histories was obtained through a questionnaire. Then a multiple regression analysis was conducted in order to identify predictors of the acquisition of the selected phonemes. The analysis uncovered several factors, the most significant being pre - school exposure to English and positive attitudes to English in adolescence, which appeared to influence the subjects’ pronunciation positively. Interestingly, several factors which relate to learning English at school appeared to exert a negative influence on the acquisition of the selected phonemes. Furthermore, besides the importance of long-term exposure to English starting before the age of six, the study also underscored the importance of metacognition in relation to autonomous learning.

This research purposed to test wheter or not there is the effect of credit risk as measured by the ratio of  Non Performing Financings (NPF) and Capital Adequacy as measured using the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) to the level of profitability as measured using the ratio of Return On Equity (ROE) on Baitul Maal wat Tamwil (BMT) Pringsewu.Population in this research that the Baitul Maal wat Tamwil Pringsewu. As a sample of financial statement BMT Pringsewu for five years from 2010 until 2014. The analutical method used is multiple regression analysis. Based on the result of  multiple regression analysis with significance level of 5% or 0.05 , then the result of this research can be concluded that (1) simultaneous independent variables that affect the NPF and CAR to ROE (2) NPF has a negative influence on the ROE while (3) CAR positive effect on ROE..

As inadvertent eustachian tube injury during adenoidectomy can have serious short- and long-term implications, a simple anatomic correlate that could predict the optimal curette choice for adenoidectomy, especially in severely hypertrophic cases, is beneficial. This study evaluates the correlation of the distance between the lateral borders of the upper central incisors and the distance between the tori tubarius in the nasopharynx. One hundred one consecutive patients undergoing adenoidectomy at a pediatric tertiary care hospital were enrolled in this study. The patients ranged in age from 7 months to 15 years. No complications were noted in any of the procedures. During the operation, the distance between the central upper incisors was measured in millimeters, as was the inter-tubarius width (ITW). A multiple regression analysis was completed to assess the correlation between central incisor width and ITW. Age and inter-incisor width were positively correlated with ITW in a statistically significant manner (p = .007 and p = .006, respectively). The distance between the lateral borders of the upper central incisors predicts the distance between the tori tubarius in the nasopharynx. Therefore, an adenoid curette the window of which does not overlap the lateral aspects of the central upper incisors can be used relatively safely, even in fields with poor visualization.

Our purpose was to examine the association between personality traits, depression and migraine in the long term. In 56 women with migraine a psychological assessment was carried out to assess the presence of major depression, and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and the State and Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) were administered at baseline (T0) and after 6-7 years (T2). Frequency, severity and duration of migraine were recorded at T0, after treatment (T1) and at T2, and their relation to the prevalence of depression and to the MMPI and STAI data was examined (ANOVA, Student's t-test, X2 analysis, and multiple regression analysis). Pain parameters improved in all patients in T0-T1, but at T2 were higher in patients with depression at T0. The patients whose migraine improved at T2 had, at T0 and T2, significantly lower MMPI and STAI scores. Multiple regression analysis showed a correlation of the MMPI depression score and STAI 1,2 scores at T0 with headache frequency at T2. We conclude that the co-occurrence of migraine, personality changes and depression in women does not appear to influence the results of treatment at short-term, but it seems to be influential on headache history in the long term.

The effect of monoterpene concentrations in Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) foliage on the browsing behaviour and preferences of red deer (Cervus elaphus) was studied in a series of 18 choice trials. During each trial, individual hinds were given access to 16 saplings arranged in a symmetrical array and aspects of their feeding behaviour were recorded over 15 min. The principal measures of preference were the number of bites and the biomass removed from each tree. Prior to each trial each tree was subjected to a series of detailed morphological measurements and a subset of trees was sampled for subsequent monoterpene analysis. Multiple regression analysis showed total terpene concentration of needles to have a significant negative influence on both the number of bites and the total biomass removed from each tree. Differences in susceptibility of Sitka spruce trees to browsing are discussed in relation to the observed high intertree variation in terpene concentrations.

  Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis fenomena deindustrialisasi di Kota Tangerang dan faktor-faktor yang memengaruhinya. Penelitian ini menggunakan analisis regresi linier berganda. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa adanya fenomena deindustrialisasi di Kota Tangerang yang ditandai dengan penurunan peran sektor industri terhadap perekonomian Kota Tangerang selama periode 2010-2018. Hasil estimasi dengan analisis regresi linier berganda menunjukkan bahwa keterbukaan ekonomi secara signifikan berpengaruh positif terhadap peran sektor industri terhadap perekonomian Kota Tangerang. Sebaliknya, proporsi investasi dan tingkat harga secara signifikan berpengaruh negatif terhadap peran sektor industri terhadap perekonomian Kota Tangerang. Dengan demikian, diperlukan upaya peningkatan keterbukaan ekonomi melalui kegiatan ekspor dan impor, peningkatan investasi non bangunan, dan pengendalian tingkat harga untuk mengatasi fenomena deindustrialisasi di Kota Tangerang.           Kata kunci: deindustrialisasi, investasi, keterbukaan ekonomi, tingkat harga   ABSTRACT This study aims to analyze phenomenon of deindustrialization in Tangerang City and influencing factors. This study uses multiple regression analysis. The result of analysis shows that phenomenon of deindustrialization is occured in Tangerang City which is showed by decreasing of industry sector’s share to the economy of Tangerang City during period 2010-2018.  The result of estimation by using multiple regression analysis shows that economic openness significantly give positive influence to share of industry sector to the economy of Tangerang City.
