Abstract:

Nonlinear methods of fractal analysis and recurrence quantification analysis are becoming more commonplace in the cognitive and behavioral sciences. These methods are illustrated here in a tutorial style using self-paced reading data. Self-paced reading was performed in which each spacebar press revealed a story word-by-word or else sentence-by-sentence. Participant readers were either Ph.D. candidates in English literature or undergraduates from an introductory psychology course and the same story was read by all, either one time only or reread another time on another occasion. The nonlinear analyses revealed crucial differences between the word unit and sentence unit conditions. Performance in the word unit condition was dominated by a task specific strategy, yielding data patterns more like those observed in tapping tasks. Nonlinear analyses of the sentence unit condition, however, discriminated between graduate and undergraduate readers, and first readings of the story from re-reading. From these analyses, the repeated reading of the same story reveals a kind of über-fluency, in a manner of speaking, of the Ph.D. candidates in English literature, whose performance stayed at or closer to a performance ceiling in both readings.

Abstract:

It was predicted that children learning to read inconsistent orthographies (e.g., English) should show considerable flexibility in making use of spelling–sound correspondences at different unit sizes whereas children learning to read consistent orthographies (e.g., German) should mainly employ small-size grapheme–phoneme strategies. This hypothesis was tested in a cross-language blocking experiment using nonwords that could only be read using small-size grapheme–phoneme correspondences (small-unit nonwords) and phonologically identical nonwords that could be decoded using larger correspondences (large-unit nonwords). These small-unit and large-unit nonwords were either presented mixed together in the same lists or blocked by unit size. It was found that English children, but not German children, showed blocking effects (better performance when items were blocked by nonword type than in mixed lists). This suggests that in mixed lists, English readers have to switch back and forth between small-unit and large-unit processing, resulting in switching costs. These results are interpreted in terms of differences concerning the grain size of the phonological recoding mechanisms developed by English and German children.

Abstract:

This study aims to describe the implementation of Proklamator Bung Hatta’s library Unit Bukittinggi innovation program in improving library services and increasing interest in visiting users through the provision of a lesehan reading area, namely an instagrammable reading corner. Sampling in this study was conducted by purposive sampling method. Data was collected by means of interviews and documentation. This data analysis technique was carried out in three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results showed that: (1) the instagrammable reading corner at the Proklamator Bung Hatta’s Library Unit Bukittinggi has implemented an element of novelty because it has provided a different reading area than before; (2) the instagrammable reading corner at the Proklamator Bung Hatta’s Library Unit Bukittinggi has implemented an effective element because the purpose of making the reading area can be carried out properly as long as the instagrammable reading corner is established. (3) the instagrammable reading corner at the Proklamator Bung Hatta’s Library Unit Bukittinggi has implemented an element of usefulness because the reading corner has been able to provide great benefits for users compared to the previous reading area. (4) Instagrammable reading corner at Proklamator Bung Hatta’s Library Bukittinggi has implemented transferable or replicable elements because the indicators from the reading corner are unique and interesting so that they can be recommended for other agencies who want to create reading corners. (5) the instagrammable reading corner at the Proklamator Bung Hatta’s Library Unit Bukittinggi has implemented an element of sustainability because the instagrammable reading corner will be held continuously at the Proklamator Bung Hatta’s Library Unit Bukittinggi.

Abstract:

We consider the convergecast problem in wireless sensor networks where each sensor has a reading that must reach a designated sink. Since a sensor reading can usually be encoded in a few bytes, more than one reading can readily fit into a standard transmission packet. We assume that each packet hop consumes one unit of energy. Our objective is to minimize the total energy consumed to send all readings to the sink. We show that this problem is NP-hard even when all readings are of fixed size. We then study a class SPEP of distributed algorithms that is completely defined by two properties. Firstly, the packets hop along some shortest path to the sink. Secondly, the nodes use an elementary packing algorithm to pack readings into packets. Our main technical contribution is a lower bound. We show that no algorithm for UCCP that either follows the shortest path or packs in an elementary manner is a (2 − ϵ)-approximation, for any fixed ϵ > 0. To complement this, we show that SPEP algorithms are [Formula: see text]-approximation for UCCP and 3-approximation for CCP, where k ≥ 2 is the number of readings that can fit within a packet. We conclude with some special cases and experimental observations.

The amount of milk a preemie drinks largely determines readiness for discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit. But just because an infant feeds well today doesn't mean it will last. In the long term, fostering a child's consistent, positive response to feeding may be more important.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThis study was designed to determine whether there was a relationship between the ease with which children make use of orthographic analogies and their progress in learning to read. The results of an experiment using a reading age match design showed that poor readers performed as well as normal readers on orally presented measures of onset/rime sensitivity, but less well on visually/orally presented rhyme tasks. The poor readers also performed less well than the normal readers on a task that measured the children's ability to take advantage of analogical units when reading lists of words: these reading lists contained groups of words that differed according to (1) whether the words containing the common unit were presented contiguously or noncontiguously, and (2) whether the unit constituted the rime portion of the words or was embedded within the rime portion of the words. A follow-up intervention study demonstrated that poor readers who received instruction in the use of orthographic analogies achieved higher reading accuracy scores on subsequent readings than did a matched group of poor readers who received standard remedial instruction in context cue usage.

Abstract:

Visual acuity, near-distance visual acuity, and reading ability all depend on the minimal angle of resolution. Visual acuity is defined as the inverse of the minimal angle of resolution, measured at a distance of 4 – 6 m, and expressed in units of (min arc)−1. Near visual acuity and reading ability are measured at reading distance. The preferred reading distance is not the same for every subject. A practical way to combine character size and reading distance is to use the ‘M-unit’ for text size and ‘Dioptre’ for the reading distance. For example, a character size of 1 M at a viewing distance of 1 m corresponds to a visual acuity of 1. A character size of 0.20 M at a viewing distance of 25 cm (=4 D) corresponds to a visual acuity of 1/(0.2 × 4)=1.25. In the rehabilitation institute we had a need for reading charts with different text blocks for repeated testing (OD, OS, OU, and at various illumination levels). Furthermore we wanted text blocks with a comparable layout and reading difficulty. Such reading charts exist in other languages and we preferred to adopt a similar design, together with the M-unit and Dioptre notation. We composed the text and tested the equivalence of text blocks by measuring the reading speed of young (aged 18 – 27 years) and old (aged 60 – 69 years) subjects. We present the resulting set of nine reading charts with a plea for general use of the M-unit and Dioptre notation for near-distance visual acuity and reading ability assessment in visually impaired people.

Abstract:

Reading teaching is an integral part of college English teaching. Based on status quo analysis of college English reading teaching, this paper explores the application of OBE mode in college English reading teaching. Taking Unit 3 from College English III as an example, it first designs a unit teaching case from four aspects of definition, realization, evaluation, and application in the OBE chain. It then practices the above-mentioned OBE chain in the form of reading circle in the teaching class. The paper points out that college English reading teaching should adhere to the concept of being outcome-oriented and student-oriented. Reading teaching should also take into consideration students’ creativity and lay focus on quality education.

Abstract:

Objectives: Reading is a critical skill that English language learners should learn effectively. The present study investigated the effect of Reciprocal Teaching (RT) method on developing English language learners reading comprehension skills and reading strategies. Method: The participants in this study were 165 11th grade female students, distributed into two groups: (Experimental = 84 students) and (Control = 81 students). Four instruments were used to collect the data: a pre/post-test in reading comprehension, five unit tests, a questionnaire and teacher’s observation. Data collected analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. Quantitatively, the independent sample T test was used to compare the means of the experimental and control groups in the pre/post-test and the unit tests. The η 2 - Eta square was applied to the unit tests’ results to examine the effect size of using RT. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to calculate the means, standard deviations and percentages of eighteen strategic reading practices. Qualitative data was analysed used the Thematic analysis qualitative method. Results: Data analysis showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group in the pre-post-test, unit tests and use of RT reading strategies. However, despite the fact that the experimental group outperformed its counterparts in the control group in the posttests, the calculation of their test results reveals that their performance wasn't great (M=11.42). Conclusions: Recommendations and implications of using RT method in teaching reading comprehension were advanced and discussed.

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to explore the relationship of reading rate to reading comprehension using different scales for reading rate. Although fluency research typically measures reading rate as speed (in words-per-minute) using whole texts as the text unit of interest, reading research investigating situation models measures rate as time (in seconds) using individual sentences as the unit of interest. The current study compared the predictive powers of these contrasting metrics. Time was shown to be the superior metric when both text- and sentence-reading times were included as predictors of comprehension, along with an interaction between them. The time model accounted for the curvilinear nature of the relationship and explained almost half of the variance in comprehension without violating the homoscedasticity assumption.

Abstract:

A survey of the current state of research shows that scholars are at an impasse regarding the text of Matt 16.2b–3. A fresh application of reasoned eclecticism to the unit uncovers new evidence supporting the longer reading. A reappraisal of the Greek manuscripts, early versions and early Christian literature shows that the longer and shorter readings are of approximately equal antiquity as far as can be established from presently available evidence. Analysis of the Eusebian apparatus strongly suggests that the shorter reading was often the result of intentional scribal change. Of the various explanations for such change, the most persuasive view is that proposed by Scrivener, Tregelles and Weiss – the shorter reading was probably an assimilation to Matt 12.39.

Abstract:

This essay argues that the impact of Bewick’s natural histories on nineteenth-century reading culture owed not simply to their engravings but to an innovative manipulation of the affordances of the material form of the book-volume. Governed by a commitment to the printed book as a formative medium in the making of reading relations, Bewick reconfigured the fundamental unit of illustrated natural history, the double-structured unit of description, and altered the dynamics of natural history reading. Repositioning readers so as to bring them into closer proximity both to the book and to the natural world around them, his celebrated bird book brings into view often overlooked linkages between the period’s intensified bookishness, emergent knowledge fields, the reading public, and generic innovation that were to reshape the culture of reading in the nineteenth century.

Abstract:

This study investigated first language (L1) orthographic influence on cognitive processing involved in second language (L2) reading. Using a fundamental unit of representation, three orthographic systems (i.e., alphabet, syllabary, and logography) can be categorized into two types: morphography and phonography. Previous L1 reading research has suggested that different strategies are used for phonological recoding by morphographic and phonographic readers. This study tested the possibility that these L1 recoding strategies are transferred and utilized in L2 reading. A cross-linguistic experiment involving adult L2 learners of English with contrasting L1 orthographic backgrounds (Arabic, Japanese, Spanish, and English—for native control) was conducted. The results indicate that reading among phonographic readers (Arabic, Spanish, and English) is seriously impaired when essential phonological information is inaccessible. Similar phonological inaccessibility, in contrast, apparently does not affect the reading performance of Japanese, or morphographic, readers. Further, the study demonstrated, first, that phonological inaccessibility exerts differential effects on the reading processes of phonographic and morphographic readers and, second, that L2 readers from different L1 orthographic backgrounds utilize their L1 strategies in reading English as an L2. Hence, the findings of the study verify cognitive strategy transfer during L2 reading.

Abstract:

The development of modern information technologies changes the forms of presenting educational material in modern learning conditions. On the one hand, there are new opportunities for the rational organization of the text (using the hypertext structure). On the other hand, due to the fragmentation of information, specific additional skills are required for more effective mastering of a foreign language. In the course of our theoretical research, it was found that hyper-reading as a new reading strategy is a quick search for the required information, during which only individual fragments of text are read. It is based on ordinary types of reading. It makes it possible to use modern information technologies and includes the following techniques: filtering, skimming, non-linear selection, value determination, filming, borrowing, de-authorization and fragmentation. Filtering is associated with a greater degree of selectivity when working with nonlinear text. A quick scan allows for less reading. When determining the significance of a lexical unit, students clarify its meaning, they can make a commentary on the educational text. Filming involves relying on photo and video materials, taking into account the situation and context at the pre-text stage of work. Borrowing is aimed at structuring the educational material in accordance with the goals of the reader. De-authorization allows the reader to form his own idea of the content of the studied educational text, to interpret it. Fragmentation makes it possible to highlight the necessary fragments of text, to pay attention to the search for details or facts. These techniques are revealed in experimental work through a specially organized system of exercises for working with hypertext. The study found that hyper-reading as a new reading strategy allows students to activate the knowledge, skills, and abilities associated with traditional types of reading via hypertext.

Abstract:

The "Double New" refers to new curriculum and new teaching materials for general high school. The "Double New" has put forward higher requirements for high school English teaching. The traditional high school English reading teaching is mostly pure reading teaching, which is difficult to combine reading and writing and realize the migration from reading to writing. It is difficult to combine reading and writing to achieve the transfer from reading to writing. The integration of reading and writing units can effectively solve this situation. This paper takes Unit 3 of Compulsory 2 of senior high school English of new version of PEP as an example to explain how teachers can realize the integration of reading and writing units in high school English in the context of the "Double New", and explores how to make high school English reading integrated around the six elements and develop the core English literacy through the analysis of unit texts, interpretation of teaching objectives and design of teaching activities. In this paper, we explore how to make high school English reading closely integrated with the six elements, develop the core English literacy, explore the connotation of the text, implement moral education, and realize the education of the subject.

In all females onset of estrus was checked twice daily in the presence of a sexually mature boar. Sow vaginal mucus conductivity readings (12 unit scale) averaged 4.1 units at weaning and 7.4 units at estrus. Only 60% of the sows reached the manufacturer's recommendation of 7–9 units at estrus. Conductivity increased by an average of three units between weaning and estrus in 62% of the sows. In exp. 2,201 crossbred sows were assigned randomly according to parity number to three groups. The first group was bred by Al when the sows showed a three-unit increase in vaginal mucus conductivity after weaning, without estrus detection by the boar. The two other groups of sows were checked once daily for onset of estrus using a mature boar, with a group bred by natural service and the other by Al. There was a large amount of variation between and within sows in absolute vaginal mucus conductivity readings. Only 29.3% of sows were inseminated at a reading of 7–9 units while 53.7% of the sows showed a differential of + 3 units after weaning, among which 50% reached a reading of 7–9 units at breeding. Sixteen (41.5%) sows showed behavioral estrus signs at an avg. conductivity reading of 4.0 units, without reaching the + 3 unit differential in conductivity. Conception rate and litter size of sows bred at a + 3 unit differential in conductivity were lower than the two groups of sows which were heat checked with a boar. No difference was observed among the latter two groups. The results indicated that vaginal mucus conductivity alone, without the use of a boar is not a reliable tool to fix the proper time to inseminate sows.

Abstract:

Although the original Committee statement was correct, the two errors pointed out by Dr Perlman were introduced and not caught in the final galley proof reading. Dr Perlman's point is well-taken and reiterates the Committee's conclusion that drug dosing should continue to be reported in mass units to avoid the possibility of dosing errors. We agree with Dr Perlman and will continue to vigorously oppose this potentially confusing and certainly unnecessary conversion.

Abstract:

Introduction: Supplemental oxygen is considered a pharmaceutical drug; therefore, it can produce adverse effects. Lack of consensus regarding the reading of oxygen flowmeters and the peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) goals can influence clinical and paraclinical decisions and hospital stay length. Objective: To assess knowledge on oxygen therapy, adverse effects, SpO2 goals and reading of oxygen flowmeters among personnel in the Pediatric Unit at Hospital Universitario San Ignacio, Bogotá, Colombia. Methodology: Cross-sectional study derived from convenience sampling through a self-applied survey between December 2016 and January 2017. The poll evaluated topics on supplemental oxygen therapy fundamentals and adverse effects, SpO2 goals and flowmeter readings through flowmeters photographs indicating a specific fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2). Results: The response rate was 77% from 259 subjects. 22% considered that the oxygen saturation either increases or remains the same during sleep periods in children. 78% of participants knew at least one complication associated to prolonged oxygen therapy and 67% due to supplemental oxygen concentration greater than required. In neonatal population, 10% considered oxygen saturation goals equal to or greater than 96%. In the flowmeter’s reading evaluation, incorrect answers ranged from 9 to 19%. Conclusion: It is imperative to reinforce updated concepts on oxygen therapy, with emphasis in SpO2 goals, adverse effects and appropriate flowmeter’s readings through periodic educational campaigns.

Abstract:

This study was designed to assess the effects of four reading-training procedures for children with reading disabilities (RD) in a transparent orthography, with the aim of examining the effects of different spelling-to-sound units in computer speech-based reading. We selected a sample of 83 Spanish children aged between 7 years 1 month and 10 years 6 months (M = 105.2, SD = 7.8) whose pseudoword reading performance was below the 25th percentile and IQ > 90. The participants were randomly assigned to five groups: (a) the whole-word training group (WW) (n = 17), (b) the syllable training group (S)(n = 16), (c) the onset-rime training group (OR) (n = 17), (d) the phoneme training group (P) (n = 15), and (e) the untrained control group (n = 18). Children were pre- and post-tested in word recognition, reading comprehension, phonological awareness, and orthographic and phonological tasks. The results indicate that experimental groups who participated in the phoneme and syllable conditions improved their word recognition in comparison with the control group. In addition, dyslexics who participated in the phoneme, syllable, and onset-rime conditions made a greater number of requests during computer-based word reading under conditions that required extensive phonological computation (low frequency words and long words). Reading time, however, was greater for long words in the phoneme group during computer-based reading. These results suggest the importance of training phonological processes in improving word decoding in children with dyslexia who learn in a consistent orthography.

Abstract:

Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze the expression items in the textbook of ≪Reading Joseoneo≫ for foreigners at Kim Hyung Jik University of Education in North Korea. Methods In Chapter 2, 2.1 of the second chapter, we looked at the list of expression items for the appearance of textbooks, and in 2.2, we tried to analyze the expression items presented in the textbook of ≪Reading Joseoneo≫ by dividing them into ‘language unit dimension, form dimension, and meaning dimension’. Results As a result, it was confirmed that much more expression items were presented in ≪Reading Joseoneo 3≫ (2016) than in ≪Reading Joseoneo 3≫ (2013). In 2.2, the analysis was conducted by dividing the expression items presented in the textbook of ≪Reading Joseoneo≫ into 1) language unit dimension, 2) form dimension, and 3) meaning dimension. Conclusions Through the above analysis, we were able to confirm the actual condition of the expression items presented in the high-level textbooks of Kim Hyung Jik University of Education, ≪Reading Joseoneo 3≫ (2013) and ≪Reading Joseoneo 3≫(2016). However, it is necessary to discuss in detail how expression items in North Korean language education for foreigners are actually taught and learned by international students.

Abstract:

We conducted a case study of 11 seventhgrade students with mild disabilities who were included in a general language arts classroom. We interviewed students, administered individual reading inventories, and observed lessons. Based on this information, we generated student profiles that provided a framework for planning a unit on the novel the outsiders. During the teaching of the novel, we served as participant observers. At the end of the semester, we administered a reading assessment and conducted follow-up interviews. Results indicated that all 11 students were more engaged in classroom activities during the unit, and 8 of the 11 demonstrated more consistent reading strategies. Results underscore the complexity of inclusion and suggest that some of these students may need more intensive, one-on-one intervention.

Abstract:

Inertial measurement units are commonly used to estimate the orientation of sections of sections of human body in inertial navigation systems. Most of the algorithms used for orientation estimation are computationally expensive and it is difficult to implement them in real-time embedded systems with restricted capabilities. This paper discusses a computationally inexpensive orientation estimation algorithm (Gyro Integration-Based Orientation Filter—GIOF) that is used to estimate the forward and backward swing angle of the thigh (thigh angle) for a vision impaired navigation aid. The algorithm fuses the accelerometer and gyroscope readings to derive the single dimension orientation in such a way that the orientation is corrected using the accelerometer reading when it reads gravity only or otherwise integrate the gyro reading to estimate the orientation. This strategy was used to reduce the drift caused by the gyro integration. The thigh angle estimated by GIOF was compared against the Vicon Optical Motion Capture System and reported a mean correlation of 99.58% for 374 walking trials with a standard deviation of 0.34%. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of the thigh angle estimated by GIOF compared with Vicon measurement was 1.8477°. The computation time on an 8-bit microcontroller running at 8 MHz for GIOF is about a half of that of Complementary Filter implementation. Although GIOF was only implemented and tested for estimating pitch of the IMU, it can be easily extended into 2D to estimate both pitch and roll.

Abstract:

Abstract Chapters 10–15 in Tosefta Soṭah contain the longest, most elaborated aggadic unit in the Tosefta. It comprises various units that seem to be connected only loosely: the biblical righteous figures who brought abundance to the world (chs. 10–12); various revelations and appearances of the holy spirit and divine echo (ch. 13); and the effects of the destruction and the calamities of the present (chs. 14–15). In this article I argue that it forms in fact a coherent unit. It combines apocalyptic, priestly, and wisdom themes in a manner that is unprecedented in rabbinic literature, but is similar to several Second Temple texts. It tells a tale of perpetual decline from the biblical golden age to the rabbis’ own age of destruction, together with its eschatological remedy. It combines priestly and apocalyptic themes to form an alternative to the standard rabbinic meta-narrative of the transfer from prophecy to Torah. The first section of the article discusses chapters 10–13 and reconstructs their meticulous similarity with, and influence by, Ben Sira; the second section compares the complete composite unit (chs. 10–15) to the parallel Mishnah; and the third section examines the apocalyptic themes found in our text. I end with the need to reevaluate the relationship between rabbinic literature and apocalypticism.

Abstract:

For the purpose of realizing non-dewfall condition of the radiant panels, low energy consumption and nice comfort of the freezing dehumidification-based radiant air-conditioning system, the design temperature and humidity of the room were figured out according to the mean comfort index of human body during the design. And in order to lower the energy consumption, the necessity of the reasonable load allocation between the dehumidification unit and the radiant unit was discussed by means of the calculation with the quasi heat-humidity-ratio line. As a result, much more precise design parameters were acquired through the approximation calculation. And it was proven to be a good design method by applying these parameters to the design of the reading rooms of the library. In the design example of the reading room, the load ratio between the dehumidification unit and the radiant unit was 48 to 52, and the recirculation air flow rate of the dehumidification unit was not less than 36.8% of the total air rate of the room.

Introduction. The article is devoted to the issue of teaching the development of reading competence among students. The article substantiates the need for future specialists to master the skills of various types of reading, since in their work in their specialty they will inevitably have to face the need to use foreign literature. Methods. The authors consider three main types of reading, highlight the conditions that determine the success of teaching various types of reading, the basic skills that underlie them, and also provide a number of exercises aimed at their development. The article is also devoted to the problem of developing reading skills among students with insufficient language training, studying at universities. The types of reading and their functions are affected: viewing, introductory, studying, search. The text is considered as a unit of communication and one of the basic units of the organization of educational material. Results.
