THE EFFECTIVENESS OF NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION IN TEACHING AND LEARNING ENGLISH: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

In the reviewed studies non-verbal communication used by teachers in teaching English. The purpose of this research is to study the type of Non-verbal communication by English teachers in teaching and to finding out how English teachers use non-verbal communication in teaching class, much further, whether to seek out the strength and weaknesses of the non-verbal communication, and to find out the effective way to use non-verbal communication efficiently and effectively. This research used a Quantitative approach which the effortsis to collect all of the studies that shared the common field of the study. The result of this study showed that the benefits,the advantages, the disadvantages and its effects. Moreover the non-verbal communicationgive some contributions in education which can be applied by teacher today. Recommendation and suggestion are offered in the current study. Hence,non-verbal communication is recommended to be used by teacher in this classroom.

Protein abundance and folding rather than the redox state of Kelch13 determine the artemisinin susceptibility of Plasmodium falciparum

Decreased susceptibilities of Plasmodium falciparum towards the endoperoxide antimalarial artemisinin are linked to mutations of residue C580 of Kelch13, which is the homologue of the redox sensor Keap1 in vertebrates. Here, we addressed whether mutations alter the artemisinin susceptibility by modifying the redox properties of Kelch13 or by compromising its native fold or abundance. Using selection-linked integration and the glmS ribozyme, efficient down-regulation of Kelch13 resulted in ring-stage survival rates around 40%. While the loss of a potential disulfide bond between residues C580 and C532 had no effect on the artemisinin suceptibility, the thiol group of C473 could not be replaced. We also established a protocol for the production of recombinant Kelch13. In contrast to cysteine-to-serine replacements, common field mutations resulted in misfolded and insoluble protein. In summary, not the redox properties but impaired folding of Kelch13, resulting in a decreased Kelch13 abundance, is the central parameter for mutant selection.

Correlation between Official and Common Field-Based Fitness Tests in Elite Soccer Referees

Official tests are used to assess the fitness status of soccer referees, and their results correlate with match performance. However, FIFA-approved tests expose the referees to high physical demands and are difficult to implement during the sportive year. The aim of our study was to evaluate the correlation between the 6 × 40-m sprint and Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Level 1 (IR1) official tests and other field-based tests that require no or little equipment, are not time-consuming, and impose low physical demands. All tests were performed by male referees from the Regional Section of the Italian Referee Association (n = 30). We observed a strong correlation between 6 × 40-m sprint and Illinois agility tests (r = 0.63, p = 0.001) and a moderate correlation between Yo-Yo IR1 and hand-grip strength in the dominant (r = 0.45, p = 0.014) and non-dominant hand (r = 0.41, p = 0.031). Interestingly, only a moderate correlation (r = −0.42, p = 0.025) was observed between the FIFA official tests, 6 × 40-m sprint and Yo-Yo IR1. These results suggest that Illinois agility and hand-grip tests could represent simple and low-physical-impact tools for repeated assessment and monitoring of referee fitness throughout the sportive season.

Students' Speaking Anxiety: Ready or Not

Language is the main common field for communication. For that reason, communication skills must take part in learning a language. Speaking is being a part of English lessons in schools today. However, making students speak English is not always easy, and there can be several different reasons it happens. One possible reason is speaking anxiety and its influence on second language acquisition. The study aims to analyze the students' speaking anxiety when they are in the speaking session. The study is based on literature and contains an interview with the teacher. It is stated that speaking anxiety inhibits students from speaking, which hurts their skills. The research shows that speaking is not the main issue at schools. A reason is that speaking anxiety is not seen as a problem concerning language teaching since it can be considered a social difficulty. In order to enrich speaking in a classroom, it is essential to strive for a joyful atmosphere where every student can feel relaxed and motivated to communicate orally.

Incidence of Pet Intoxications in the Emergency Clinic, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca

Veterinary toxicology is a common field in veterinary medicine, being a science closely related to other clinical and para clinical disciplines. The multitude of toxics and the ability of each organism to respond differently to them, non-specific clinical signs and an inadequate anamnesis can often put the clinician in difficulty when seeking to diagnose. The aim of the study was to highlight the incidence of pet poisoning cases, over a period of 10 years of time at the emergency clinic, faculty of Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca. An epidemiological study was performed with the help of the emergency clinic archive, where the files of the intoxicated patients were selected. The data were centralized in the Microsoft Office Excel. The results obtained revealed the sum of 256 cases of pet poisoning in the last ten years (0.611% of the number of cases registered during this period), of which the predominantly affected species was the dog of mixed breed. Also, within the most common poisonings, the ones with ethylene glycol and anticoagulants rodenticides were observed. In the present study a correlation was established between breed, age, sex and the most frequent incidence of poisoning, common toxins and the connection between the periods of the year.

Post-fire soil water repellency, sorptivity, and the measurement of infiltration

<p>Wildfires are frequently associated with the increased potential for runoff, flooding and debris flows during and after subsequent rainfall events. Specifically, wildfires can cause soils to become water repellent, which is believed to slow, if not halt, the infiltration of water into the soil. However, there exists no mechanistic way to determine the effect of post-wildfire water repellency on infiltration and runoff—until now. We have recently developed a simple physically-based model to account for the effect of water repellency on the soil hydraulic property of sorptivity. Further, since sorptivity is crucial to understanding the relationship between water repellency and post-fire infiltration, there is a need for a robust and accurate method to measure sorptivity in the field. All research was conducted in the laboratory using a fine silica sand, some of which was treated with Scotchgard<sup>TM</sup> to induce water repellency. Treated and untreated sand was mixed proportionally by weight to create various degrees of water repellent sand. Upward infiltration tests (wicking experiments) were used to validate the sorptivity model. Then, two common field methods (a 1D infiltrometer ring and a 3D tension infiltrometer) were used to measure downward infiltration and extract sorptivity data. Results showed that we able to predict sorptivity given the degree of water repellency and basic soil properties, that sorptivity measured using common field methods reflected the degree of water repellency, and that both downward infiltration measurement methods yielded similar sorptivity values.</p>

On the nature and role of Consciousness: is it time to move towards a metaphilosophical and metascientific approach?

The main aim of this paper is to support a metaphilosophical and metascientific approach to the study of Consciousness.After a brief historical resume of the debate between the mind-brain-body relationship, we discuss how the apparently irreducible contention between a physicalist and an anti-physicalist interpretation of Consciousness can be overcome by a metaphilosophic and metascientific approach in the attempt to overcome ethnocentric cultural filters and constraints yielded by the Weltanschauung and the Zeitgeist one belongs to. IN fact, a metaphilosophical perspective can help to recognize key concepts and meanings common to different philosophies beyond their formal differences and different modes of theorization, where the common field of reflection is aimed to find the problem’s unity in the multiplicity of forms. Likewise, the metascientific approach, such as the anthropic principle adopted in astrophysics, helps overcoming the problems of indecidability of single axiomatic disciplines.A metaphilosophical and metascientific approach seems appropriate in the study of consciousness and subjective phenomena, since the first-person perspective and the meaning of the experience are the condition sine qua non for their proper understanding.

COMPARISON OF CAMELINA SEED YIELD AND BIOMASS PRODUCTION IN CONTRASTING ENVIRONMENTS

The most of the research work on camelina has been carried out in northern America and continental Europe. Two breeding groups (IFVCNS and BOKU) and one group focusing on the agronomy (DISTAL) just recently started research activities focusing on the development of new genotypes more adapted for southern regions of Europe. Common field trials, with 2 camelina lines selected by IFVCNS and 6 lines selected by BOKU were established at Bologna, Italy and at Rimski Šančevi, Serbia. Newly developed camelina lines were found to be highly adapted to Bologna environment, being able to achieve sustained seed yield in spite of delayed sowing and higher temperatures during pod filling period.
