Motivation to learn is very complicated to be examined because it involves various aspects, including the psychology of learners. However, efforts to improve the motivation of learners is not impossible for every teacher. As one of these efforts, the researcher undertook a comparative study by examining the achievement of bunpou understanding in the class that used the quiz tests and did not use the quiz test. After that, we compared with the average of semester final exam grade of the two classes. The quiz tests were formatively conducted after mid term exam until semester final exam. The result of a class that uses a quiz test has a higher average grade than a class that does not use. The mid term exam is difficult than final exam, it causes the average of the grade of student went down. However, the class that does not use the quiz test has drop two fold than the class that used the quiz test. It can be assumed that the quiz test is one of the media that has a role to increase the extrinsic motivation of the basic learner in understanding bunpou.Keywords: learning motivation, quiz tests, roles, bunpou

As one of the world’s most recognizable athletes, Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James is emblematic of the modern athlete-activist; as such, it is important to understand how the media frame him in the context of a controversial issue. In recent years, he has used it to quietly support the Black Lives Matter movement. In 2014, 12-year-old Tamir Rice was killed by police on a Cleveland playground, just miles from where the Cavaliers play and just north of James’s hometown of Akron. James declined to comment on the case, and a Twitter campaign—#NoJusticeNoLeBron—attempted to force his hand. This article examines the role of James as an athlete-activist, identifying four frames embedded in content around James and the Black Lives Matter movement: Brand LeBron; Established Voice, Higher Expectations; Attention, Not Aggression; and Community Versus Protest. We found James is cautious and deliberate in his activism, moderating a message of consideration rather than revolution, contextualized by his brand and ambitions.

This study aims to investigate the potential similarities and differences of projections in different mainstream newspaper’s reports on similar events. Based on the theoretical framework of projection of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and we used the corpus-driven approach to analyze quantitatively, this study chose People’s Daily Online, Global Times, as well as The Washington Post’s reports about two parades for celebrating National Day of China and US in 2019 to build four sub-corpora. It analyzed and discussed the projecting sources. The Mann-Whitney U test revealed that the differences in the distribution of projecting sources between the two mainstream newspapers were mainly reflected in the implicit projection source and the reporter projection source. The Media were the most important instituting projecting source for the two newspapers. While in terms of character sources, People’s Daily preferred to treat ordinary people as the main character projecting source and The Washington Post preferred to choose officials or parliamentarians.

This study explores the attitudes of the Omani elite, (Media Experts and Academics) at Sultan Qaboos University toward the dialogue and opinion- oriented programs hosted by Arab Satellite Channels. It adopts the descriptive approach, and its survey-based methodology is generated through a questionnaire. The findings of the study emphasize several issues in connection with viewers? attitudes toward the above-mentioned programs: such as the existence of a positive statistical relationship between the exposure average of media experts and academics to dialogue and opinion- oriented programs and their attitudes toward them, as well as a positive statistical relationship between the exposure motives of the media experts and academics to the same programs and their attitudes toward them. Moreover, the study shows a positive statistical relationship between the degree of satisfaction attained from these programs and the attitudes of the media experts and academics to them.

Abstract The present work presents a comprehensive comparative study on the cooling performance of hot oil and molten KNO3- NaNO2-NaNO3 eutectic mixture quench media. The study was conducted using a cylindrical Inconel probe of 16? and 60mm length. Cooling curves at different locations in the probe were acquired using thermocouples- DAQ system. The temperature data was recorded in PC and was subsequently used to calculate spatially dependent transient heat flux at the metal quenchant interface. The heat extraction mechanism in hot oil and NaNO2 eutectic mixture was different. Quench heat transfer occurred in two stages namely boiling stage and convective cooling stage during quenching in molten NaNO2 eutectic mixture. In the case of hot oil, apart from these two stages, third stage of cooling namely vapor blanket stage was observed. A detailed study was conducted to compare magnitude and uniformity of heat extraction during each stage of quenching. Molten salt offered higher cooling rate and more spatial uniform cooling as compared to hot oil quench media. The non-uniformity in surface temperature during boiling stage in Inconel probe was 10 times lower in molten salt medium as compared to that observed in hot oil medium. However, the non-uniformity in surface temperature during convective cooling stage in both the media were comparable. Based on the distribution of characteristic cooling time (t85) calculated in quenched Inconel probe, higher and uniform hardness distribution is predicted in steel parts quenched in molten NaNO2 eutectic mixture media as compared.

This research investigates the editorial coverage of two elite newspapers of Pakistan; Daily the News International and Daily Dawn regarding electricity crisis in Pakistan from June 2010 to May 2011. For this research study, 49 editorials were studied, comprised 648 sentences. Twenty-two editorials (291 sentences) in Daily Dawn and 27 editorials (357 sentences) published in Daily the News International during the proposed period of the study. All editorial sentences are divided into five different categories; Causes, Effects, Reactions, Solutions and Miscellaneous of the electricity crisis according to the nature of data. The study finds out that both newspapers gave 22.06% favourable, 36.57% unfavourable coverage, while 41.35% neutral coverage on the issue which shows that both the newspapers have given more neutral coverage. The researcher used framing theory as a theoretical framework. In light of results, the researcher concluded that the media framed this crisis in a neutral way.

A comparative study was conducted to determine the optimum conditions for sporulation and toxin production by Clostridium botulinum type G, strain 89. One solid and four liquid media were compared for their ability to promote sporulation. After being inoculated, the media were incubated at 35 C for 12 days, at 30 C for 16 days, and at 26 C for 21 days. Spores were harvested by centrifugation, washed 3 times and resuspended to give a 35 × concentration, then counted by the MPN procedure. Spores grown on the solid medium at 35 C for 16 days gave higher counts than those grown at the same temperature in the liquid media. Toxin production was studied in eight media at 35, 30 and 26 C over a 24-day period with samplings every 2 to 3 days. Three of the media contained trypsin and five were trypsinized after growth. Toxin titers were determined by intraperitoneal injection of mice and expressed as MLD/ml of culture. Higher toxin titers were obtained at 26 and 30 C in media containing 0.4% glucose.
