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.

Spatial plan is the result of spatial planning which is done through the process and procedure of arranging and determining based on the prevailing laws and regulations. The phenomenon that often happens is the deviation of existing land use with spatial plan. Sumedang Regency is experiencing a fairly rapid development, so there is an increase in human resource activity that implicate the widespread space needs and consequently deviation of land use is very vulnerable. The purpose of this study to determine the extent of deviation of land use occurs as well as what factors affect the occurence of irregular use of land. The analysis used in this study using GIS approach, Principal Component Analysis and Multiple Regression Analysis. The result of analysis shows that there are 25 types of deviation of existing land use and the most dominant is deviation into wetland (18,364 ha), dryland field (8,405 ha) and widened land (7,741 ha). While the factors that influence the occurence of deviation of land use are population and settlement, availability of land, infrastructure and accessibility, and sosioeconomic condition of society

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.

Although the swing plane has been a popular area of golf biomechanics research, the movement of the club relative to the swing plane has yet to be shown experimentally to have a relationship with performance. This study used principal component and subsequent multiple regression analysis to investigate the relationship between the movement of the club relative to the delivery plane and clubhead characteristics at ball impact. The principal components reflected deviations from an individual swing plane, and lower values of these components were associated with less variability in the clubface impact location. In the event that a golf coach wants to improve the precision of ball striking, the results from this study suggest that both simplicity of the route and alignment of the club to the final trajectory before impact could be advantageous. However, this does not suggest that the technique should be based on a ‘model’ swing plane.
