Comprehending Narrative Text: The Effectiveness of Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC)

The aim of this study was to investigate whether there was significant difference on the students’ reading comprehension of narrative text between those who were taught through Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) method and those who were not. Forty-nine students were selected as the sample and quasi-experimental, non-randomized pre-test and post-test design were employed. The analysis of covariance showed that the students who were taught by using CIRC method statistically outperformed those who were not on their reading comprehension of narrative text, (F (1, 48) = 13.56, p < .05). This result implies that CIRC is an effective method to teach reading comprehension, particularly on narrative text. Since this study only focused on narrative text, future researchers might be interested to seek the effect of CIRC on other text genres. Similar study though may be conducted with a randomized design of larger population

Investigating Social Influence on Acceptance of Executive Information Systems: A UTAUT Framework Approach

The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) is constructed to address all factors derived from various behavioral models significant to user’s acceptance of information technology. This theory, however, deals with individual aspects of general technology acceptance. In reality, information technology is deployed based on different needs of different intended users. Executive information systems, for instance, is intentionally deployed for the use of organizational participants in the highest position of a centralized organizational hierarchy. Several proposed UTAUT’s constructs may not apply to executives’ characteristics in general or several additional constructs are added to address the acceptance of certain users of certain information technology.This paper investigates one of such constructs, the social influence, to posit such a difference

Effect of 28-homobrassinolide on the nitrate reductase, carbonic anhydrase activities and net photosynthetic rate in Vigna radiata

The foliage of fifteen day-old Vigna radiata seedlings was sprayed with water (control) or with a 10–10 M, 10–8Mor 10–6 Maqueous solution of 28-homobrassinolide (HBR). Samples of the treated plant material, collected at 30/50 days after sowing (DAS), were assessed for the activities of carbonic anhydrase (CA) and nitrate reductase (NR); leaf chlorophyll content (Chl); stomatal conductance (gs); carboxylation efficiency (CE), and net photosynthetic rate (PN). 28-homobrassinolide generated a significant impact on all these characteristics and on seed yield at harvest. Among the treatments, 10–8Mproved best, in which case the values for the above six physiological parameters in 30 days-old plants increased by, respectively, 31, 29, 27, 28, 29 and 33% over the control.

ASIAN CATFISH GENUS Pangasius: DIAGNOSIS AND DISTRIBUTION

Pangasiidae are economically important riverine catfishes that generally exist in freshwater from the Indian subcontinent to the Indonesian Archipelago. Among genera in Pangasiidae, genus Pangasius has numerous species. The objective of the present study is to describe all species of genus Pangasius with their diagnosis and natural distribution. Nine hundred and ninety nine specimens formed the core of the material examined in this study. All examined species were collected from Bangladesh, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Additional samples including specimens of 49 previously described species housed in various museums were also examined. On each specimen, 35 point to point measurements covering the possible variation of the body conformation were taken using dial calipers. Measurements were log-transformed before the PCA was run on the covariance matrix. The first factor, considered as the size-factor was not taken into account to minimize the effects of size differences among samples. Allometry is indicated by unequal loading of variables on the first component and by biological interpretation of allometric data proceed using coefficients of the first components against the second components that was linear. An independent PCA was run on the correlation matrix from the untransformed count data. Finally, data analysis consisted in characterizing groups from scatter plots between pairs of structuring characters for subsequent use in generic identification keys. The results show Asian catfish genus Pangasius consist of 21 valid species. This paper describes the diagnosis and distribution of all valid species.
