In terms of English teaching in China, English teaching mode, there are some drawbacks. The interaction between teachers and students is very insufficient, which cannot fully mobilize the enthusiasm of students. The purpose of this study is to explore a new way for English teaching mode, hoping to explore better English teaching methods and improve students’ English performance. This paper focuses on the characteristics of College English (CE) interactive teaching mode based on the Internet of Things technology, discusses the practical application of the Internet of Things technology in College English interactive teaching, and makes a simple research on the interactive teaching mode of College English based on the Internet of Things (IoT). Students from two natural classes in our city were selected as the research objects and divided into an experimental group and control group. The overall English levels of the two classes were similar, and the study lasted for a semester. Research tools include questionnaires, writing tests, and interviews. Statistical software was used to analyze the data in detail. Before and after the experiment, the test results of the experimental class and the control class were tested by independent sample t-test and paired sample t-test. The experimental results show that the College English interactive teaching mode based on the Internet of Things is welcomed by students, and the experimental effect is significant. The overall average score of the experimental group increased by 13.6 points, while that of the control group increased by 4.2 points. The gap between the two groups was very obvious. As far as the scores of each part of the English test paper are concerned, the scores of each part of the experimental group are also higher than those of the control group.

This research is motivated by the low reading comprehension of Arabic which is possessed by students of Middle School 10 Sleman in understanding reading texts because of the absence of a linguistic environment and active, so it caused a lack of interest and motivation for learning in the learning process. This study aims to improve reading skills in Arabic for 7th grade students of Middle School 10 Sleman especially in understanding reading texts by using the Index Card Match strategy in learning reading skills. With this research, it is expected to be able to help teachers in the learning process of reading Arabic skills and improve students' ability to read. In its implementation, this study used a quasi-quantitative approach with the Experimental method. To find out the extent of the effectiveness of the Index Card Match strategy in learning Arabic reading skills, the formula used is the t-test. This study resulted in differences in statistical calculations in mean values in the experimental group and the control group. For the experimental group reached an average of 81.28 and the control group 76.88. The value of "t" counts 2.335 and "t" table 2.042 so that "t" counts greater than "t" table, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and there are significant differences. From the results above the researchers concluded that the use of the Index Card Match strategy in learning Arabic reading skills was effective so that it could improve reading skills in 7th grade students of Middle School 10 Sleman.

Experimental Group

120 selected layers (Bovans Goldline hybrid) aged 19 weeks with an average weight of 1 735 g were divided into two balanced groups: control group (Group C) and experimental (Group E). Layers were reared in three-tier cages with automatic watering, manual feeding, and at controlled light and temperature regimens. One cage accommodated two layers, the floor surface area was 0.1125 m2 per layer. The experiment started after a 20-day adaptation period with layers aged 22 weeks (Week 22) and ended when layers were 68 weeks old (Week 68). In a period of initiation (i.e. Weeks 19–38), layers were fed the complete feeding mixture N1. Then they received the feeding mixture N2 until the end of the experiment. Feeding mixtures in both groups (C and E) had the same composition; the only difference between mixtures was that the feeding mixture in the experimental group was enriched with 1% clinoptilolite (i.e. the commercially available additive ZeoFeed). Layers received feeding mixtures and drinking water ad libitum. In the course of the experimental period, control layers laid 16 289 eggs while experimental layers laid 16 474 eggs. It follows from the results that the laying intensity in experimental layers was 1.7% higher as compared to control layers, i.e. the number of laid eggs in experimental layers increased by 5.6 eggs per layer. The mean weight of all laid eggs was 66.3 ± 6.25 g in the control group and 65.6 ± 5.44 g in the experimental group (P ≤ 0.01). Such performance was achieved at the consumption of feeding mixture being 141.7 g per laid egg in the control group and 137.6 g per laid egg in the experimental group. The consumption of feeding mixture in the experimental group was 4.1 g lower than that in the control group. The mean values of parameters monitored in blood plasma such as uric acid, cholesterol, glucose, lactose, calcium, phosphorus, ALP, and LDH in both groups of layers ranged within reference intervals, with no significant differences being detected between both groups.However, statistically significant differences between both groups were found in total plasma protein (P ≤ 0.01), triacylglycerol levels (P ≤ 0.05), and magnesium (P ≤ 0.01), which were elevated in the control group, and in AST (P ≤ 0.05) whose level in the control group was significantly lower than that in the experimental group. The results of haematological tests performed with layers’ blood revealed statistically significant changes in parameters such as the erythrocyte count (P ≤ 0.01), haemoglobin level (P ≤ 0.01), and MCHC (P ≤ 0.05), which were elevated in the experimental group, and in the leukocyte count (P ≤ 0.05), which was lower in the experimental group, as compared with the control. However, the values found varied within physiological ranges.

This study attempted to tap into the potential of reading for incidental vocabulary learning by exposing EFL learnersto elaborated texts. This study was also concerned with investigating learners’ attitudes toward using elaboratedpassages in their reading classes. To this end, 38 students were selected as the participants of this research anddivided into two groups. Students attending the experimental group (N=20) read Persian elaborated texts in whichthe Persian meanings of the specified target words were provided in apposition to them. On the other hand, studentsof the control group (N=18) were required to read the non-elaborated version of the aforementioned texts. Generally,the results of the post-test pointed to the effectiveness of this approach in incidental vocabulary learning, and theparticipants of the experimental group were found to gain a significant vocabulary improvement in comparison to thecontrol group. Furthermore, the interview suggested that students held positive attitudes to reading elaborated textsand regarded them as effective in their vocabulary learning experience. The findings of this study have implicationsfor material developers who need to reconsider the role of modified materials.

The objective of the work was to determine the possibility of drug correction of endothelial dysfunction, structural changes in peripheral arteries and the synthesis of end products of nitric oxide metabolism by the use of a combination of roflumilast and quercetin in the baseline therapy. In contrast to the baseline, the use of integrated therapy was followed in 6 months by a probable increase in the initial rate by 18.76 % (0.61 ± 0.04) m/s to (0.75 ± 0.04) m/s (t = 2.47; P < 0.05) and a probable decrease in the initial diameter of the brachial artery to (3.69 ± 0.29) mm (t = 2.49; P < 0.05). Patients of the experimental group have shown a significant increase in mean values of EDVD at the end of in-patient treatment and after 6 months of intensive supportive therapy (t = 2.17; Р < 0.05). The appointment of complex therapy after 6 months showed an increase in concentration in the blood of metabolites of NO in 1,3 times to (10.35 ± 1.89) μmol/l (t = 1.00; P > 0.1) at normal (12.05 ± 2.11) μmol/l. In patients of the index group after six months of the background therapy, IMT index has appeared in 1.07 times lower than the input data and has not reached the level of the control group. The IMT index for patients in the experimental group was considerably lower than the index before treatment (t = 0.31; P > 0.1). Application of complex therapy in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the exacerbation phase in combination with stable coronary heart disease, stable angina pectoris I–II FK contributes to the restoration of endothelial function, improves structural changes in the peripheral arteries and has a stimulating effect on the synthesis of nitric oxide.

The main objective of this research is to determine teacher competency requirements that support appropriate learning methods and be able to increase students' high learning desires and establish good learning facilities to determine the achievement of quality graduates and love knowledge. This study is expected to investigate how competencies, learning methods and ideal learning infrastructure can be used to improve students' understanding and comfort of teaching and learning processes that support intellectual quality and love knowledge. This notion arose after discovering that teaching practices for the affective domain were ineffective. Students learn to pass examinations, not to love knowledge. Experiments are conducted for 1 (one) year or 2 semesters, in January - December 2019, to determine the impact of learning experiences on students' academic achievement. The research sample consisted of 10 English teachers and 20 students from the Vocational High School. The students are divided into two groups; the control group (10 students) and the experimental group (10 students). Both groups were taught the same topic and learning objectives for 2 hour. However, the control group was taught using lecture slides, group discussions and closed with a question and answer session. Meanwhile, the experimental group is taught using new instructional instruments that adapt learning experiences that are appropriate to the curriculum. During the teaching session, the teacher observes student participation in all their activities and behavior during the lesson session. To complete this study, tests are conducted to see the impact of the learning experience on students' academic achievement.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the core training program applied for 8 weeks to basketball players aged 16-18 on free throw and vertical jump performance. 22 male basketball players (11 experimental group, 11 control group) aged 16-18 participated in the study voluntarily. While core training was applied to the basketball players in the experimental group, 2 days a week for 8 weeks, together with the basketball training, the basketball players in the control group only continued their routine basketball training. Free throw and vertical jump performance tests were applied to the subjects before applying the 8-week core training program (pre-test) and after the 8-week core training (post-test). Statistically significant difference was found between pretest and posttest in terms of experimental group free throw test values (p<0.05) Statistically significant difference was found between the pretest and posttest values of the control group in terms of free throw test values (p<0.05). When the experimental group and control group free throw pretest and posttest were compared, no statistical significance was found (p>0.05). A statistically significant difference was found between the pretest and posttest in terms of vertical jump test values of the experimental group and the control group (p<0.05). However, the development in the experimental group was higher than in the control group. There was no statistically significant difference between the free throw test difference mean values of the experimental group and the control group (p>0.05). A statistically significant difference was found between the vertical jump test difference mean values of the experimental group and the control group (p<0.05). As a result, it can be said that 8-week core training has positive effects on the development of vertical jump performance on basketball players, but no effect on free throw performance.

Parvoviral infection of swine is a disease which is manifested in reproductive disorders in sows and gilts in the form of anestria, premature births, miscarriages, mummified fetuses, the birth of poorly vital piglets and/or a reduced number of piglets in the litter. The infection is present in farms with intensive breeding conditions in the form of an endemic infection, all over the world, and also in our country. Timely diagnostics and adequate prophylaxis prevent the occurrence and spread of this disease. Experimental investigations covered 21 sows, divided into two experimental and a third, the control, group. Animals of the first experimental group were vaccinated once before exposure to the boar using an inactivated vaccine, Porcilis Parvo, and animals of the second experimental group were vaccinated twice at an interval of 3 weeks, also using an inactivated vaccine, Parvovax. Sows of the control group were not vaccinated. Blood samples were taken from all animals four times during the course of the experiment, and specific antibodies against the swine parvovirus were determined using the method of hemagglutination inhibition (HI test). The results of the investigations indicate that there was an increase in the titre of specific antibodies following the vaccination of persistently infected sows with the swine parvivirus, and that the present antibodies did not prevent the creating of an immune response. It was established following a comparison of the geometric mean values of antibody titres of vaccinated sows that there was a significant increase in the antibody level following the two vaccinations using the Parvovax vaccine, against the titre values in sows vaccinated once with the Porcilis Parvo vaccine. In control animals, the average value of the antibody level was many times lower in comparison with the established values in the experimental groups. This provides justification for the implementation of immunoprophylaxis against swine parvovirosis by the vaccination of sows and gilts before mating using inactivated vaccines.
