In this study, we investigated the culture-invariant and culture-dependent nature of teachers’ ethical sensitivity in two countries. Our case study involves teachers from Finland (n = 864) representing Western culture, and from Iran (n = 556) representing Eastern culture. Culturally bound elements of ethical sensitivity were studied with the Ethical Sensitivity Scale Questionnaire. The analyses revealed that ‘Caring by connecting to others’ is a central, culturally invariant dimension of ethical sensitivity in both cultures. In the dimensions of ethical sensitivity, the dimension of ‘Taking the perspective of others’ is particularly dependent on culture, given the differences in the cultural dimensions of power distance and the collectivity of the countries studied. 相似文献

Colleagues helping each other to publish in medical sciences: Iranian field specialists' convenience editing strategies 下载免费PDF全文
This article reports a study into 60 research articles (RAs) authored by Iranian medical researchers and published in high‐quality international English journals. It investigated how academic professionals in medical sciences implement peer convenience editing (CE) to improve articles and make them suitable for publication. The research identified nine editing interventions that were categorized as micro‐ or macro‐editing strategies. The findings indicated that the most frequently used strategies are micro‐strategies of substitution, addition, and mechanical alteration. The study also found that the abstract received the majority of editorial changes (mostly micro), followed by the introduction and then the discussion sections. The findings may help authors and institutions identify which sections and which types of editorial interventions are most likely to be required to ensure that RAs are optimized for publishing in international journals. 相似文献

BackgroundFew studies have examined the associations between urban design attributes and older adults’ physical function. Especially, it is not well known how built-environment attributes may influence physical function in Asian cities. The aim of this study was to examine associations between objectively measured environmental attributes of walkability and objectively assessed physical function in a sample of Japanese older adults.MethodsCross-sectional data collected in 2013 from 314 older residents (aged 65–84 years) living in Japan were used. Physical function was estimated from objectively measured upper- and lower-body function, mobility, and balance by a trained research team member. A comprehensive list of built-environment attributes, including population density, availability of destinations, intersection density, and distance to the nearest public transport station, were objectively calculated. Walk Score as a composite measure of neighborhood walkability was also obtained.ResultsAmong men, higher population density, availability of destinations, and intersection density were significantly associated with better physical function performance (1-legged stance with eyes open). Higher Walk Score was also marginally associated with better physical function performance (1-legged stance with eyes open). None of the environmental attributes were associated with physical function in elderly women.ConclusionOur findings indicate that environmental attributes of walkability are associated with the physical function of elderly men in the context of Asia. Walking-friendly neighborhoods can not only promote older adults’ active behaviors but can also support their physical function. 相似文献

The problem of adaptive global finite-time stabilization control for a class of nonlinear switched systems in the presence of external perturbations and arbitrary switchings has been addressed in this research study. The proposed scheme has been designed based on a finite-time estimation technique in which during the control procedure, unknown imposed perturbations are accurately estimated by means of the designed finite-time disturbance observer (FTDO). Due to the exact estimation of the external disturbances within a given finite time, the encountered complications and adversities from loss of information in the Lyapunov parameter estimation (LPE) methods have been solved which are caused by the persistent switchings in the system. Furthermore, a new solution for the problem of chattering phenomenon in nonlinear switched systems has been presented by utilizing the designed FTDO, which can counteract the malfunctioning responses of the system caused by external disturbances and unmodeled dynamics. In this paper, an acknowledged class of nonlinear switched systems has been taken into account which is in the general form of canonical structure. In addition, the established design strategy is formulated for the control of perturbed nonlinear switched systems with one and only input and assures that the system states through the finite-time convergence characteristic, reach the equilibrium point of origin. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out on a mass-spring-damper (MSD) dynamical system to indicate advantages and superior efficiency of the suggested method. 相似文献

The tracking problem of the fractional-order nonlinear systems is assessed by extending new event-triggered control designs. The considered dynamics are accompanied by the uncertain strict-feedback form, unknown actuator faults and unknown disturbances. By using the neural networks and the fault compensation method, two adaptive fault compensation event-triggered schemes are designed. Unlike the available control designs, two static and dynamic event-triggered strategies are proposed for the nonlinear fractional-order systems, in a sense that the minimum/average time-interval between two successive events can be prolonged in the dynamic event-triggered approach. Besides, it is proven that the Zeno phenomenon is strictly avoided. Finally, the simulation results prove the effectiveness of the presented control methods. 相似文献

Measurement of cardiac markers is an index of care standard in the assessment and diagnosis of cardiovascualr disease. Two
of the major cardiac markers are Creatine Kinase isoenzyme CK-MB and Troponin T, which are extensively used in the diagnosis
of heart disease. The release of Troponin T and creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) was investigated in 50 coronary artery bypass
surgery patients. Measurement of plasma samples was carried out at five different time points, namely before surgery, 1,6,12,24
hours after surgery. The results indicated that CK-MB level were increased by a factor more than four times compared with
the upper limit of baseline (befor surgery). Troponin T concentration showed more than six fold over the upper limit of baseline
(before surgert) at 1,6,12,24 hours after surgery. In order to assess the significance of the length of the surgical procedure
on the release of Troponin T and CK-MB, the surgery patient were divided into two groups according to the length of the surgical
procedure: group I was selected on the basis that the surgical procedure they underwent lasted above 90 minutes and group
II with a surgical procedure below 90 minutes. Both Troponin T and CK-MB showed a significant increase in-group I compared
to group II. To investigate the likelihood that this effect is party due to myocardial infarction during surgery, the patients
were divided into two groups: Group A with some sings of myocardial infarction on Q wave of ECG and group B without any change.
The results showed approximately a two-fold increase of these markers in-group A compared to group B. Since these markers
reach into blood following damage to myocardial their increase in patients with time course surgery of more than 90 minutes
and those with a probability of MI during operation, indicating that these patient fall into a high risk group of repeat (MI)
after surgery. 相似文献

Gaining the attention is the first key step to enhance learning. In Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as the most prevalent deficit in school age, the learners face some impairment in attention that requires appropriate intervention. An environment that embedded Pedagogical Agent in computer-assisted instruction (CAI) has been designed to support learning through gaining and guiding attention to relevant information for these students. This study investigated how much the presence of pedagogical agent can improve learning in ADHD students. The learning environment was integrated with a pedagogical agent, named Koosha, as a tutor and motivator. This study employed a pretest and posttest experimental design with a control group. The statistical population was 30 boy students with ADHD in primary school from the North of Iran. The participants were randomly assigned to work with either an agent presenting a multimedia program or without an agent in mathematics. The results (Analysis of covariance -ANCOVA) suggested that experimental and control groups show a significant difference in mathematics achievement. According to this research, using the pedagogical agent can enhance the learning of ADHD students; so it can be considered as a valid school-base intervention for these students. 相似文献

ABSTRACTMultimodality has been a growing research interest in the field of applied linguistics. With the actor-network theory as an analytic framework, the purpose of the present study was to explore how university students of Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) take advantage of both material and non-material semiotic resources while being involved in the process of developing classroom activities. Furthermore, the semiotic resources of these students including their language, gaze, and gesture were analyzed using systemic functional multimodal discourse analysis (SF-MDA). To do this, using an ethnomethodology, we videotaped the interaction of a group of 6 TEFL students developing materials, for the improvement of learners’ intercultural competence, on the topic of food. The findings indicated that the participants developed these materials as they interacted with each other, as human semiotic resources, as well as their digital tools, as non-human resources. In addition, while mainly expressing their mental processes, they also conveyed positive attitudes and built negotiation expanding space using their gesture with both fast and slow graduation. Their gaze was also engaged, directed at both the group members and objects developing the classroom activities. 相似文献
