The aim of the study is to investigate what strategies are appropriate and meaningful for young learners of English. The method used is qualitative descriptive. The data collection used for qualitative description are a semi-structured interview, observation, and analysis on lesson plans. The participants were an English teacher and 68 first graders. The findings showed that applying instructionbased strategy in the target language in which the learners responded by whole-body actions (physical actions) made young learners fun, dance with delight, act with joy, and finish off with big smiles. This strategy also encouraged young learners to learn English, especially that for vocabulary. The right-brain tool strategy made 41 young learners out of 68 or 60.29% participants were deeply engaged to class activity. It means the learners take full ownership of learning activity, show high levels of energy, and express a willingness to take part in activity. The strategy was effective and impressive that made young learners involved in meaningful activities which required repetition. In addition, the strategy could be applied to any class size. Furthermore, on the part of the teacher did not need to prepare a great deal or exceedingly.Keywords: young learners, vocabulary, instruction-based strategy, practical

The use of target language only and mixed languages as communication strategies between the teacher and students have different purposes to be achieved for both of them when conducting the learning process. Therefore, this study focused on finding out 1) the language of instruction used by the teacher as communication strategies in teaching as well as 2) the student’s responses toward the use of each type of language of instruction as communication strategies in teaching English by the teacher at SMP Negeri 1 Singaraja. To investigate this study there were 3 teachers and 174 students from eight classes who were used as the primary sources. To collect all of the data, observation and questionnaire distribution were implemented. Then, all of the data were analyzed descriptively. This study followed qualitative descriptive model, approach, and design adopting framework of Maxwell (2012). Therefore, the results of the study indicates that the most frequent of language uses by the teachers is target language only. The students fell very glad when the teachers use target language only. To make the students easier to understand the material, the use of mixed languages in the right portion is very good, in particular at the beginning stages. Key words: target language, mixed languages, opening, observing, questioning, exploring, associating, communicating, closing.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate how the ball position along the mediolateral (M-L) direction of a golfer causes a chain effect in the ground reaction force, body segment and joint angles, and whole-body centre of mass during the golf swing. Twenty professional golfers were asked to complete five straight shots for each 5 different ball positions along M-L: 4.27 cm (ball diameter), 2.14 cm (ball radius), 0 cm (reference position at preferred ball position), – 2.14 cm, and – 4.27 cm, while their ground reaction force and body segment motions were captured. The dependant variables were calculated at 14 swing events from address to impact, and the differences between the ball positions were evaluated using Statistical Parametric Mapping. The left-sided ball positions at address showed a greater weight distribution on the left foot with a more open shoulder angle compared to the reference ball position, whereas the trend was reversed for the right-sided ball positions. These trends disappeared during the backswing and reappeared during the downswing. The whole-body centre of mass was also located towards the target for the left-sided ball positions throughout the golf swing compared to the reference ball position, whereas the trend was reversed for the right-sided ball positions. We have concluded that initial ball position at address can cause a series of chain effects throughout the golf swing.

Abstract Background Epithelioid sarcoma most frequently occurs in the dermal or subcutaneous area of the distal extremities. To date, there have been three cases of primary pulmonary epithelioid sarcoma reported. We report a case of epithelioid sarcoma that is considered a primary lung tumor. Case presentation A 65-year-old asymptomatic Asian male patient underwent chest radiography during a routine health examination, and an abnormal mass was detected. His past medical history was unremarkable. He smoked 40 cigarettes every day and had slightly obstructive impairment on spirometry. He worked as an employee of a company and had no history of asbestos exposure. He underwent partial resection of the right lung by thoracoscopy. A histological examination of the tumor revealed a cellular nodule of epithelioid and spindle-shaped cells. Some of the tumor cells displayed rhabdoid features and reticular arrangement in a myxomatous stroma. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for vimentin, smooth muscle actin (SMA), CD34, and epithelial membrane antigen (EMA); loss of the BAF47/INI1 protein in the tumor cells was also confirmed. A diagnosis of epithelioid sarcoma was established. Careful screening by whole-body positron emission tomography for another primary lesion after surgery did not detect any possible lesion. He had no cutaneous disease. Conclusion To our knowledge, this is the fourth case of a proximal-type epithelioid sarcoma considered as a primary lung tumor.

Abstract Background/Aims  A 62-year-old accountant was referred to the metabolic bone clinic with a 2 year history of thoracic back pain and a persistently raised ALP. There were no associated red flags for her back pain. She had a history of a gluteal lump, thought to be benign, for which she had declined excision. She has hypertension and had a previous navicular fracture. Medications included bendroflumethiazide and Adcal D3. She had restriction in neck movements and was tender to percussion in the thoracic spine. There was no proximal weakness or focal neurology. Systems and joint exam were unremarkable. Methods  The case is discussed below. Results  Salient abnormal results on presentation were a raised ALP of 207 and corrected calcium of 2.34. PTH was elevated at 8.2 (NR:1.6-6.9), Vitamin D 79 and a low phosphate of 0.34 (NR:0.8-1.50). Alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes showed the raised level came from bone. Protein and urine electrophoresis were normal. A bone density scan was normal, and a recent thoracic MRI showed only degenerative change. An isotope bone scan was requested and was reported to show increased activity in the nasal bone, maxilla and both orbits, raising the possibility of Paget’s disease. However, when reviewed in the Radiology meeting with a skull x-ray, the appearances were not felt to be in keeping with Paget’s. Despite physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, acupuncture and neuropathic medication the patient’s back pain continued. Her phosphate remained low and her calculated tubular reabsorption of phosphate from a 24h urine collection (TmP/GFR) was low at 0.42mmol/l (NR 0.80-1.35). She was started on phosphate replacement and calcitriol, and Adcal D3 was continued. The Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) 23 levels were sent and came back significantly elevated at 1380 (NR &lt; 100). A 68Ga DOTA-TATE scan (whole body PET/CT scan), confirmed the right gluteal lump as the source of the FGF 23. The patient went on to have an excision biopsy and histology confirmed a mesenchymal tumour of the right buttock. Her phosphate replacement was gradually weaned, but on reducing the dose phosphate levels dropped and her symptoms returned. The repeat TmP/GFR was again low at 0.61, and FGF 23 levels were still raised at 204. A repeat 68Ga DOTA-TATE scan, 4 years after the first one, showed recurrence of the right gluteal lesion and a possible small lesion in the left gluteal muscle. She has been sent for further excision. Conclusion  Tumour induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare condition and should be considered in cases of hypophosphataemia. Classical symptoms are proximal weakness and muscle and bone pain. They are typically associated with small benign tumours (most commonly mesenchymal tumours) which may be difficult to find. Excision is curative but if small amounts of tumour remain, relapses may occur. Disclosure  J. Bakshi: None. C. Batten: None.

AbstractObjectiveThe aim of the present study is to see if the changes in the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) experienced by restrictive anorexia nervosa (AR) and bulimia nervosa (BN) patients, following the exposure to their own body image, persist at follow-up.MethodsThree single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) were performed on nine patients with a DSM-IV diagnosis of AR, 13 with BP, and 12 controls: at rest, following a neutral stimulus, and after exposure to their previously filmed whole body image. Body dissatisfaction was measured by means of the Body Dissatisfaction Questionnaire (BSQ). One year later the same assessment was repeated.ResultsFollowing the exposure to their own body image, BN showed an increase in body dissatisfaction, which was associated with the increase in the rCBF of the Right Temporal Area. Those changes persisted at follow-up.DiscussionMore specific long term therapies are needed for the treatment of the averse response showed by ED patients to their own body image exposure that is associated with the hyperactivation of the right temporal area when they are confronted with their whole body image.

The objective of the study was to investigate the effects of 3D stabilization exercises using a whole body tilt device on forces in the trunk, such as individual muscle forces and activation patterns, maximum muscle activities and spine loads. For this sake, a musculoskeletal (MS) model of the whole body was developed, and an inverse dynamics analysis was performed to predict the forces on the spine. An EMG measurement experiment was conducted to validate the muscle forces and activation patterns. The MS model was rotated and tilted in eight different directions: anterior (A), posterior (P), anterior right (AR), posterior right (PR), anterior left (AL), posterior left (PL), right (R) and left (L), replicating the directions of the 3D spine balance exercise device, as performed in the experiment. The anterior directions of the tilt primarily induced the activation of long and superficial back muscles and the posterior directions activated the front muscles. However, deep muscles, such as short muscles and multifidi, were activated in all directions of the tilt. The resultant joint forces in the right and left directions of the tilt were the least among the directions, but higher muscle activations and more diverse muscle recruitments than other positions were observed. Therefore, these directions of tilt may be suitable for the elderly and rehabilitation patients who require muscle strengthening with less spinal loads. In the present investigation, it was shown that 3D stabilization exercises could provide considerable muscle exercise effects with a minimum perturbation of structure. The results of this study can be used to provide safety guidelines for muscle exercises using this type of tilting device. Therefore, the proposed direction of tilt can be used to strengthen targeted muscles, depending on the patients' muscular condition.
