Grammatical Errors of Writing in EFL Class

The current paper is descriptive qualitative research which aimed at describing grammatical errors of students\u27 writing in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Class. Data were gained from documents written by students of State Polytechnic in Kupang City, East Nusa Tenggara- Indonesia. The results have shown that the highest percentage of grammatical errors occurred in using the verb group. It consisted of 65.0 %. Following these errors, students made errors in the use of prepositions (12.8 %). The third errors that were usually made by students were the errors in the use of pronouns. It took 9.8 %. After errors in the use of pronouns, students made errors in pluralization (5.1 %). The next lower frequency of errors made by students were errors in the use of articles. It took 4.3 % of the whole text. Following that, students made errors in the use of conjunctions. The errors occurred at 1.7 %. The last errors made by students were errors in the use of subject-verb agreement. The errors occurred only 1.3 %. The results of the current analysis are hoped to be a reflection of EFL lecturers in Indonesia. Furthermore, EFL lecturers of State Polytechnic Kupang are hoped to focus more on teaching the use of verbs in writing class

Understanding the Effects of a Tannin Extract on Forage Protein Digestion in the Rumen and Abomasum Using a Dynamic Artificial Digestive System Coupled to a Digestomic Approach

Improving the use efficiency of dietary protein in ruminants is a major challenge to decrease feed supplementation and significantly decrease nitrogen (N) losses to the environment. The aim of this study was to characterize the effects of tannins on protein digestion in the rumen and in conditions simulating the abomasum, using a dynamic in vitro digestive system coupled to a digestomic approach. Three ruminally-cannulated sheep fed with alfalfa hay were infused daily with a solution of tannins, while three other sheep were infused with water (control). Standardized ruminal fluid was introduced into the digester, which simulated the transit of digesta under physicochemical conditions mimicking the abomasum in terms of pH regulation, digestive enzyme infusions and transit rate. Protein degradation in the rumen and in the simulated abomasum was analyzed by determination of fermentation end-products, and identification and quantification of peptides (Label Free Quantification) by LC-MS/MS high resolution (Orbitrap). The analysis of rumen samples showed that tannins result in a clear decrease of fermentation end-products related to protein degradation, namely ammonia (NH3) and iso-volatile fatty acids (VFA), and a greater abundance of the Rubisco, a major plant protein. In the simulated abomasal compartment, the peptidomic analysis showed that the hydrolysis intensity of Rubisco was higher in the presence of tannins compared to the control group. These results indicate that protein-tannin complexes could be dissociated in the physico-chemical conditions of the abomasum, increasing the flow of peptides to the intestine after protection of protein by tannins in the rumen

Comportamento de genótipos de girassol em safrinha no cerrado do Distrito Federal em 2011 em ensaio de primeiro ano.

Um ensaio de primeiro ano de avaliação foi conduzido na Embrapa Cerrados com o objetivo de avaliar o comportamento de genótipos de girassol em safrinha, em relação às variáveis: rendimento de grãos, altura de plantas, número de plantas quebradas, peso de mil aquênios, dias para floração plena em 19 materiais genéticos no período de 16/02/2011 a 15/06/2011. O rendimento médio ficou em torno de 3.390,67 kg.ha-1e a rendimento de grãos máximo foi obtida pelo genótipo BRS G 30(5.489,67 kg.ha-1). A altura média das plantas foi de 175 cm, o peso médio de mil aquênios foi 57,03 g e o período para floração plena ficou em torno de 64 dias. As condições ambientais expressas na safrinha do Cerrado do Distrito Federal, em 2011, fazem com que o girassol seja uma opção de cultivo no sistema de produção agrícola. SUNFLOWER GENOTYPES AGRONOMIC PERFORMANCE IN OFF-SEASON PERIOD AT DISTRITO FEDERAL SAVANNA IN 2011 IN FIRST YEAR TEST. An experiment of the first year evaluation was conduced at Embrapa Cerrados with the objective of evaluate the agronomic performance of sunflower genotypes in off-season period, and were evaluated: yield, plants height, number of broken plants, weight of a thousand seeds and days to complete flowering in 19 genetic materials between February 16th and June 15th of 2011. The average grain yield was 3390.67 kg.ha-1 and the highest yield was obtained by the genotype BRS G 30 (5489.67 kg.ha-1). The average height of plants was 175 cm, the weight of a thousand seeds was 57.03 g and the number of days to complete flowering was around 64 days.The environmental conditions expressed in off-season period at Distrito Federal savanna, in 2011, makes sunflower crop as an option in agricultural production system

Diabetes Self-Management Education to Empower Adolescents with Type I Diabetes

Abstract: The study was aimed to assess the effectiveness of diabetes self-management education (DSME) to empower adolescents with type I diabetic. A quasi experimental design was used in this study. Setting: The study was conducted in Diabetic Pediatric Out-Patient Clinic at Children Hospital affiliated to Ain Shams University. Subjects: A purposive sample of 52 adolescents out of 316 aged from twelve to eighteen years, who have type I diabetes as a chronic illness one month ago their blood glucose level uncontrolled. Data were collected by structured questionnaire sheet to assess knoweldge, adolescent medical record, adolescent follow-up log book and observation checklist to assess practice regarding to seven items of DSME. These tools were used three times pre/post after three months and after six months follow-up. The study revealed that, there was a statistically significant difference between pre/post, pre/follow-up and post/follow-up implementation of DSME sessions. The study concluded that DSME had empowered adolescents toward achieve self-care. It could be recommended that DSME could be applied to all age of children especially adolescents to guide the intervention and improve the care
