Analytic Domain

The current research aims at identifying the analytic domain of multiple -intelligence and English objective test. The research is trying to answer that if there is a correlation between the analytic domain of multiple- intelligence and the English objective tests. Thus, the research has adopted a close questionnaire for diagnosing analytic domain (logical, rhythmic, and naturalistic) of multiple- intelligence of Iraqi students at Baghdad University, and an objective English test to achieve the aim of the research. Nine colleges at Baghdad University are randomly chosen to represent the sample of the research which is 511 students. The results of the research have shown that there are weak significant correlation between the analytic domain of multiple intelligent and the objective English test. Thus, from the results of the research Baghdad University could modify the objective tests with alternative ones that based on students’ ability and intelligence not guessing tests. Continuous long-term assessment, untimed, free- response format, individualized test and creative answers based on multiple- intelligence are recommended.

OBJECTIVEThe prevalence of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS-TN) is higher than in the general population (idiopathic TN [ITN]). Glycerol rhizotomy (GR) is a percutaneous lesioning surgery commonly performed for the treatment of medically refractory TN. While treatment for acute pain relief is excellent, long-term pain relief is poorer. The object of this study was to assess the efficacy of percutaneous retrogasserian GR for the treatment of MS-TN versus ITN.METHODSA retrospective chart review was performed, identifying 219 patients who had undergone 401 GR procedures from 1983 to 2018 at a single academic institution. All patients were diagnosed with medically refractory MS-TN (182 procedures) or ITN (219 procedures). The primary outcome measures of interest were immediate pain relief and time to pain recurrence following initial and repeat GR procedures. Secondary outcomes included medication usage and presence of periprocedural hypesthesia.RESULTSThe initial pain-free response rate was similar between groups (p = 0.726): MS-TN initial GR 89.6%; MS-TN repeat GR 91.9%; ITN initial GR 89.6%; ITN repeat GR 87.0%. The median time to recurrence after initial GR was similar between MS-TN (2.7 ± 1.3 years) and ITN (2.1 ± 0.6 years) patients (p = 0.87). However, there was a statistically significant difference in the time to recurrence after repeat GR between MS-TN (2.3 ± 0.5 years) and ITN patients (1.2 ± 0.2 years; p < 0.05). The presence of periprocedural hypesthesia was highly predictive of pain-free survival (p < 0.01).CONCLUSIONSPatients with MS-TN achieve meaningful pain relief following GR, with an efficacy comparable to that following GR in patients with ITN. Initial and subsequent GR procedures are equally efficacious.

Cattell's basic strategy in personality research has been first to establish personality factors for each of three major types of measurement, rating (Life-Record), questionnaire (Self-Rating), and objective tests, then to compare factors from one realm with factors from another (7). A factor in any one realm is established in the first place by being replicated. As Cattell says (4, p. 291): “… a functionally unitary trait or process should nevertheless not be considered established by a pattern in a single factor analytic research, but must reappear consistently and persistently in independently rotated studies.”

Abstract Background The IL-12/23 inhibitor ustekinumab (UST) opened up new treatment options for patients with Crohn’s disease (CD). Due to the recent approval, Real-World German data on long-term efficacy and safety are lacking. This study aimed to assess the clinical course of CD patients under UST therapy and to identify potential predictive markers. Methods Patients with CD receiving UST treatment in three hospitals and two outpatient centres were included and retrospectively analysed. Rates for short- and long-term remission and response were analysed with the help of clinical (Harvey–Bradshaw Index [HBI]) and biochemical (C-reactive protein [CRP], faecal calprotectin [fCal]) parameters for disease activity. Results Data from 180 patients were evaluated. One hundred six patients had a follow-up of at least 8 weeks and were included. 96.2% of the patients were pre-exposed to anti- TNFα agents and 34.4% to both anti-TNFα and anti-integrin. The median follow-up was 49.1 weeks (95% CI 42.03–56.25). At week 8, 51 patients (54.8%) showed response to UST, and 24 (24.7%) were in remission. At week 48, 39 (41.9%) responded to UST, and 20 patients (21.5%) were in remission. Steroid-free response and remission at week eight were achieved by 30.1%, and 19.3% of patients. At week 48, 26.9% showed steroid-free response to UST, and 15.1% of the initial patient population was in steroid-free remission. Clinical response at week 16 was independently associated with remission at week 48. Conclusion Our study confirms short- and long-term UST effectiveness and tolerability in a cohort of multi-treatment exposed patients.

Action Tendencies

Nine emotional themes were presented in dance expressions by a group of three professional dance students. In a first experiment these dance expressions were presented to children in the age groups of five-, eight-, ten-, and twelve-year-olds. Children's free response interpretations were analyzed for adequacy, conceptual level, and complexity of response. Clear age trends emerged, especially differentiating the five-year-olds from the other groups. In a second experiment a multiple choice response format was used. The same age trends were found. In a third experiment children with and without dance experience were compared. Experienced children used more emotional labels in interpreting the dance items. In the discussion it is suggested that, in the medium of dance, emotional interpretations gradually emerge from a preceding stage in which movements are imbued with action tendencies.

Objective Tests

There are basically two types of tests used by teachers of mathematics: objective and subjective. In objective tests, the judgment of the scorer docs not affect the score; the objective test scored by a number of persons yields the same score on each scoring. Different scores on subjective tests frequently result not only when scored by different persons, but even when scored by the same person at different times.

K Scale

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the age, race, and sex of psychological examiners (Es) would affect the objective personality scale performance of Negro and Caucasian psychiatric patients. Eight groups of 10 Ss each were administered the Taylor MAS, the MMPI K scale, and the MMPI L scale by one of eight Es. Half the Ss were Negro and half were Caucasian. Half the Es were Negro and half were Caucasian; half the Es were male and half were female; and half the Es were older ( M = 36) and half were younger ( M = 23). Analysis of the data indicated that, depending on Ss' race, significant performance differences in Ss' objective test responses were related to E's age, sex, and race. However, the interaction between Es' age and Ss' race was the most consistently demonstrated effect in this study.

Communicative Skill

Writing is one of the basic language skills. Both objective tests and essay questions can be used to evaluate students’ performance in the writing skill. The objective tests are generally considered useful as they help in measuring certain abilities accurately and they yield reliable scores. But essay tests can be used more effectively to measure certain complex learning outcomes such as organization, synthesis, and analysis. Essays provide an effective form of testing to evaluate the communicative skill of students at the higher level. Such items have the problems of consistency, objectivity, and reliability of their scores. The present study focuses on the issue of scorer reliability and attempts to suggest an objective model of scoring for the free-response essay question set in the B.A. examination for Islamia University of Bahawalpur in the subject of English compulsory.

Natural Language Statement

Data are presented to show that errors in formulating algebraic equations are not primarily due to syntactic translation, as has been assumed in the literature. Furthermore, it is shown that the reversal error is common even when none of the previously published causes of the error is applicable. A new explanation is required and is proposed in this paper. An examination of students' errors leads us to suggest that students generally construct from the natural language statement a cognitive model of compared unequal quantities. They formulate equations by trying to represent the model directly or by drawing information from it. This hypothesis is supported by research on the comprehension of relationships by linguists, pyscholinguists and psychologists. Data were collected from 281 students in grade 9 in free response format and from 1048 students in grades 8, 9, and 10 who completed a multiple-choice item.

Melanoma is an aggressive disease that accounts for approximately 75% of skin cancer-related deaths. In the past, treatment options for patients with advanced stage melanoma have been limited with poor response rate and failure to improve overall survival (OS). Immunotherapy is a promising treatment that has been shown to improve OS and in cases produce durable remissions—a novel concept in the treatment of advanced melanoma. We report a case of advanced stage metastatic malignant melanoma of the scalp with a durable (31 months) response to ipilimumab immunotherapy. This is the first case study reporting long-term, progression-free response to ipilimumab in metastatic melanoma without side effects of therapy. This case adds to the evidence supporting early referral and initiation of ipilimumab in patients who can tolerate it, with the goal of producing a sustained treatment-free response and preserved quality of life.

Cerebellar Stimulation

✓ The effects of chronic electrical stimulation of the cerebellum in patients with cerebral palsy have been studied using objective tests of joint compliance, and standardized assessments of developmental reflexes and motor skills. Of 14 patients studied prospectively for 1 to 44 months, 11 showed improvement in motor function. A double-blind test of 10 patients off and on stimulation for an average 8-week period showed no significant changes. Thus, we have no proof that the functional improvements seen with long-term stimulation are the result of cerebellar stimulation.
