This paper aimed to increase the learning efficiency of 'Handspring forward with 1½ tucked salto forward’ on vault by exploiting gymnasts’ internal factors of performance and shortening the assimilation time of technical elements using algorithmic programs. Experimental research involves the selection and adjustment of the most efficient means for specific physical and technical training requiered in learning 'Handspring forward with 1½ tucked salto forward’ on vault. This paper also brings evidence to evaluate in an objective and gradual manner the technical preparation of gymnasts through all three series of algorithmic programme and finds significant and consistent differences between gymnasts’ execution in initial testing relative to final testing. This implies that learning of any elements should be based on algorithmic program to ensure the perfect execution. The difference between the performance of the two groups of gymnasts in executing 'Handspring forward with 1½ tucked salto forward’ on vault indicates that the proposed objective has been achieved. The results obtained by the two tested groups of gymnasts have shown that algorithmic programme that I have created makes a huge difference in performance score difference which can mean an Olympic medal.   Keywords: Algorithmic programme, technical elements, vault.

And Performance

The difference (D) between a person's Verbal IQ (VIQ) and Performance IQ (PIQ) has for some time been considered clinically meaningful ( Kaufman, 1976 , 1979 ; Matarazzo, 1990 , 1991 ; Matarazzo & Herman, 1985 ; Sattler, 1982 ; Wechsler, 1984 ). Particularly useful is information about the degree to which a difference (D) between scores is “abnormal” (i.e., deviant in a standardization group) as opposed to simply “reliable” (i.e., indicative of a true score difference) ( Mittenberg, Thompson, & Schwartz, 1991 ; Silverstein, 1981 ; Payne & Jones, 1957 ). Payne and Jones (1957) proposed a formula to identify “abnormal” differences, which has been used extensively in the literature, and which has generally yielded good approximations to empirically determined “abnormal” differences ( Silverstein, 1985 ; Matarazzo & Herman, 1985 ). However applications of this formula have not taken into account the dependence (demonstrated by Kaufman, 1976 , 1979 , and Matarazzo & Herman, 1985 ) of Ds on Full Scale IQs (FSIQs). This has led to overestimation of “abnormality” of Ds of high FSIQ children, and underestimation of “abnormality” of Ds of low FSIQ children. This article presents a formula for identification of abnormal WISC-R Ds, which overcomes these problems, by explicitly taking into account the dependence of Ds on FSIQs.

The low level of students’ higher order thinking skills (HOTS) has been the main problem of education in Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the difference of students’ HOTS taught by using POE and Guided Discovery learning models. This quasi-experimental research involved 34 students of X IPA 3 and 32 students of X IPA 4 at SSHS 1 of Sungai Ambawang as the sample. The data obtained by using test which was analyzed using Mann-Whitney U-test. The results showed that the students’ HOTS who were treated with POE were significantly higher than those who were taught using Guided Discovery learning. Therefore, it is suggested to implement POE to improve students’ HOTS.

Abstract The torsion number of drawn fine high carbon steel wires was measured through torsion testing. The angles between the scratches on the tested wire surface and its longitudinal axis were measured. The shear strain calculated from torsion number γt, shear strain at fractured point γf, and plastic shear strain γpc were evaluated. The following results were obtained. First, the shear strain distribution homogenized; further, torsion number per unit length N, γt, and γpc increased when decreasing the difference between γf and γpc where γpc subtracted from γf (=Δγfpc) > 0. Second, the external factors caused non-uniform shear strain distribution and reduction from the potential maximum shear strain, even for the wire that was hardly affected by the internal factors. The difference of shear strain non-uniformity caused a variation in reduction from the potential maximum shear strain. The internal factors included non-uniform microstructure and existence of inclusions and voids. The external factors were caused by the testing machine and setting of the sample. The potential maximum shear strain was obtained when the effects of internal and external factors were inhibited. Finally, two evaluation methods of the potential maximum shear strain were suggested. One method identifies a sample with a small Δγfpc, and a large γpc where Δγfpc > 0. This sample can be regarded as having the closest strain to the potential maximum shear strain. The other method determines γpc when Δγfpc is closest to 0. This value can be interpreted as plastic strain of the potential maximum shear strain.

Abstract Background: Beta-thalassemia is an inherited disorder of hemoglobin synthesis with many associated morbidities. Osteoporosis is an important cause of morbidity in these patients. Bisphosphonates are potent inhibitors of osteoclast activity and have been recently used for the treatment of osteoporosis in beta-thalassemia. Several studies have indicated that the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene has a role in the regulation of bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolism, but the results are very controversial. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of zoledronic acid in Lebanese thalassemics with osteoporosis. Methods: We studied 23 patients with beta-thalassaemia major (14 patients) and intermedia (9 patients). Thirteen patients were male and 10 were female, with a mean (+/− standard deviation) age of 25 +/− 9 years. All patients had severe osteoporosis and were receiving calcium and vitamin D supplements prior to and during the study. Zoledronic acid was given i.v. at a dose of 4 mg every 3 months over 12 months. The effects were monitored by assessing pain score, analgesic score and performance score. The BMD of the hip and lumbar spine, osteocalcin, bony alkaline phosphatase and pyrrolidine crosslinks were also measured. To gain more insight into the genetic basis of osteoporosis in thalassemia and to correlate this with the response to zoledronic acid, we analysed the polymorphism of the VDR gene in three polymorphic sites (Bsm I, Taq I and Apa I) using restriction enzymes digestion. Results: We have given two doses of zoledronic acid uptil now. The most common adverse event was joint pain in 12 patients (52.2%) lasting for 1–3 days and responding to analgesics. Four patients had perioral numbness and five had fever. These adverse events were markedly reduced after the 2nd dose; only two patients had joint pain. No patients discontinued the study until now. The pain scores, analgesic score and performance score were all improved compared to baseline values. The difference in pain index score was significant (p=0.004), and the reduction in the number of painful sites was slightly significant (p=0.097). There was significant difference in the baseline z score of the spine between transfusion dependent patients (15 patients) and transfusion non-dependent patients (8 patients) (p = 0.042). The distributions of VDR alleles in Bsm I polymorphism were 30.4% for BB, 52.3% for Bb, and 17.3% for bb; in the Apa I polymorphism 17.4% for AA, 47.8% for Aa, and 34.8% for aa; in Taq I polymorphism 30.4% for TT, 52.3% for Tt, and 17.3% for tt. We found no significant differences in baseline BMD between the three groups of Bsm I polymorphism at all sites. Apa I was not associated with significant differences in BMD. The BMD of the Ward’s triangle was higher in patients with the Tt-genotype compared with individuals with the tt-genotype and the difference was almost significant (p=0.089, ANOVA). Conclusions: In Lebanese thalassemics with osteoporosis zoledronic acid (a dose of 4 mg) is well tolerated and the clinical response is quite impressive. However, the response to treatment needs to be assessed by follow-up BMDs and blood bone markers.

Air Processing

The operation of drying is one of dominating importance in many branches of industry, among which may be mentioned the drying and seasoning of timber and textiles, the curing of tea and tobacco, the manufacture of photographic films, glue and gelatin, pottery, paper, paints and varnishes, toffees, macaroni, milk and other dried foods and fruits; and “air-processing,” as it is called in America, is, in itself, an industry of considerable magnitude. It is not surprising, therefore, that much attention has been given by chemical engineers to the design of drying-plant, and a considerable literature on this subject exists. The theoretical side of the subject, however, has not been so thoroughly developed, and there are many gaps in our knowledge of the factors underlying the process of the evaporation of water from colloid materials. There are two main groups of factors governing the rate of evaporation of water from any kind of material. The first group is fairly well understood, and comprises all those factors that are external to the material concerned, such as the temperature and humidity of the drying atmosphere, and the effective velocity of the air over the surface of the stock. These factors are known generally as the “drying conditions.” The second group comprises what may be termed the internal factors, such as the chemical and physical properties of the material being dried and the changes that occur in these as the drying proceeds. These factors have not been so thoroughly investigated as the drying conditions, possibly on account of the difficulty of treating them from a purely physical and thermo-dynamic standpoint. They are, however, of no less importance industrially, while their study as a purely scientific problem is of much interest and may throw some light on the physical and physico-chemical nature of colloid materials. Moisture may exist in materials in at least two distinct forms: as free moisture adhering to the material and with a vapour pressure equal to that of water in bulk, and as “sorbed” moisture, the vapour pressure of which is always less than that of water in bulk. The rate of evaporation of water, under constant drying conditions, at any instant per unit of surface is proportional to the difference between the vapour pressure of the evaporating water and the pressure of the water-vapour in the adjacent atmosphere, i. e.

This study aims to determine the effect of mindfulness training to reduce the stress levels of 7 students in SMK X Pundong who have moderate to severe stress levels. The stress level was measured using the DASS scale. This research is categorized into experimental research type with one group pretest-posttest design. The data obtained were then analyzed using the non-parametric Wilcoxon test method to see the difference between students’ stress levels before and after the intervention through the IBM SPSS Statistics 25 for windows program. The results showed that there were significant differences in students’ stress levels before and after the intervention was given with a value of p = 0.018 (p <0.05). This proves that mindfulness training can reduce the stress levels of students in class X.
