Solutions to improve students' ability to work in pairs and achieve higher results

Friendship pairs for mutual growth have become common and well-liked in schools, inspiring in each student a sense of community and self-discipline to work hard and advance together. In addition to enhancing students' learning abilities, the movement has helped to effectively implement the policy of good teaching and good learning. Provide opportunities for students to support one another's learning, growth, and practice. There are many distinct levels of students in a class. Teachers need to be aware of, adept in gathering, and skilled in using resources from students if they are to aid pupils in improving. Building a model of a relationship is done for their mutual benefit, and the good students are given the task of helping the less-aware students and exchanging knowledge to make them feel at ease and less self-conscious. Many kids have improved thanks to the cordial conversation

Phryssonotus novaehollandiae Silvestri, 1923 : the sole Australian representative of the millipede Family Synxenidae

Examination of synxenid millipedes from a number of collections confirms that Phryssonotus novaehollandiae is the sole representative of the genus and family in Australia. P. novaehollandiae was found to have the most widespread distribution of any native Australian millipede species. It occurs in a range of well-drained habitats including heathlands, woodlands and coastal scrub. Several thelytokous (female only) populations were found in coastal areas of south eastern Australia

THE IMPACT OF MOVEMENT GAMES ON MALE PHYSICAL FITNESS IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION COURSES AT SAIGON UNIVERSITY, VIETNAM

Movement games not only help students improve their general fitness but also help increase excitement during exercise. However, the impact of movement games on physical development has not been determined, especially for non-sports majors. The purpose of this study was to find out the impact of movement games on male physical fitness in Physical Education courses. 51 healthy male student volunteers were randomly divided into 3 groups (15w, 7w, and control). Movement games were selected and applied to the experimental group (15w and 7w), while the control group did not apply movement games and practice according to the preset 15-week training program. The results in this study indicated that the application of MG for male students at Saigon University during PE courses had a positive way to enhance general physical fitness (i.e., the explosive power of the legs, agility, speed, and maximal aerobic speed). Future studies should focus on the impact in the time of movement games application, specific characteristics to different schools, as well as the evolution of physical development at each age when using the movement games.  Article visualizations

Comparison of distance rock tests with school children using standard sloan English letter targets versus modified Landolt C targets

The distance rock test was first introduced in 1975. Since then there are several studies using the distance rock test at various clinics. So far, English letters have been used as far-near-far targets at 20/80 and 20/25 acuity levels. The tests were administered to children of different age groups. In this study, some aspects of the original Haynes distance rock test such as letter features and target spacing were changed. Specifically, the Landolt Cs were modified and used as new targets in the far-near-far discriminatory tasks. Forty four fourth graders and twenty six first graders were selected for the study. The relative response times of the visual system were measured. The results indicate 1) The fourth graders performed better than the first graders under all possible combinations of the test conditions; 2) Both fourth and first graders called out English letters quicker than Landolt Cs; 3) Fourth graders identified widely spaced Landolt Cs quicker than regularly spaced ones; and 4) Both fourth and first graders called out targets at the 20/80 acuity quicker than those at the 20/25 acuity. Both optometric and psychological factors were considered to explain the students\u27 performance. Automaticity as a function of maturity, practice and learning played a significant role in distance rock responses. Automaticity was shown to be present in distance rock performance since its characteristics were detected in this study. Indications for procedural changes and clinical utilization were also discussed

A new species of penicillate millipede from genus Mauritixenus (Diplopoda, Polyxenidae) found in Vietnam

Genus Mauritixenus Verhoeff, 1939 comprises a group of penicillate millipedes found only in Mascarene Islands, Madagascar and West Africa. The characteristics of this genus are 13 pairs of legs, 8 ommatidia, labrum with apical granular structure and tarsus 2 with a spine. There are seven described species in this genus. Penicillate milli-pedes were collected from Vietnam, Ninh Thuan Province, which proved to be a previously undescribed species in the genus Mauritixenus. Their distinguishing characteristics include the number of sensilla on gnathochilarium and the anterior lateral process in the claw, as well as the genetic makeup, concluded this is a new species in this genus

Flame Spread Measurements Of New Zealand Timber Using An Adaptation Of The Cone Calorimeter Apparatus

This report investigates the use of an adaptation of the Cone Calorimeter to measure opposed flow flame spread. Cone Calorimeters are typically used in a horizontal orientation for ignition testing, this report looks at using the Cone Calorimeter in a vertical orientation to test flame spread, and compare results to those from Lateral Ignition Flame Transport (LIFT) experiments. This work arises from the LIFT apparatus being bulky and cumbersome which makes it an undesirable apparatus to have in the laboratory. The adaptation of the Cone Calorimeter is to provide an alternative method of obtaining the same material data in fire conditions. This work has followed on from work which was started by Azhakesan et al (1998) at Fire SERT at the University of Ulster, by developing a small scale opposed flow flame spread apparatus. The Reduced scale Ignition and Flame spread Technique (RIFT) was the result of adapting the Cone Calorimeter. This research was conducted in the Chemical and Process Engineering department at the University of Newcastle, which had conducted some work in this field. This research used this technique to examine opposed flow flame spread over a number of species of New Zealand timber and timber products. The research lead to an application of a view factor developed from horizontal Cone Calorimeter tests by Wilson et al (2002). This was modified and applied to the vertical orientation of the Cone Calorimeter. The use of the view factor is to estimate the profile of the heat flux along the length of the sample. The results obtained indicated a correlational nature however modifications are required to confirm findings. The application of Quintiere’s model on opposed flow flame spread used in LIFT tests is applied to the RIFT test to obtain material properties. The results from the RIFT analysis have shown that the flame spread variables are comparable with those obtained from LIFT tests. Results at this stage are preliminarily, recommendations are suggested to substantiate current results

The millipedes of Barrow Island, Western Australia (Diplopoda)

Six species of millipedes are recorded from Barrow Island, including three species of pin-cushion millipedes of the order Polyxenida, Lophoturus madecassus (Marquet and Condé, 1950) (Lophoproctidae), Unixenus mjoebergi (Verhoeff, 1924) (Polyxenidae) and Phryssonotus novaehollandiae (Silvestri, 1923) (Synxenidae), a single species of the order Spirobolida, Speleostrophus nesiotes Hoffman, 1994 (Trigoniulidae), and two species of the order Polydesmida, Boreohesperus dubitalis Car and Harvey, 2013 (Paradoxosomatidae) and one species of the family Haplodesmidae (genus and species indet.). Lophoturus madecassus is circum-tropical in distribution, Unixenus mjoebergi and Phryssonotus novaehollandiae are found also on mainland Australia, but the other three species are endemic to the island. Speleostrophus nesiotes is a highly modified troglobiotic species, currently listed as threatened by the Western Australian government. It is unclear at present whether the haplodesmid specimen is a troglobite
