Fernald vs. sensory integrationdictation disorder
Abstract
The present study was to compare the effects of Fernald multi-sensory teaching method and sensory integration on improving the dictation disorder on third grade primary school students with dysgraphia in Tehran. Pretest posttest method was done on control group. The study population consisted of all the primary third grade female students suffering dictation disorder in normal schools in Tehran (2011-2012). The study samples were selected through multi-stage random sampling from some schools and randomly divided into three 10-person groups. The dysgraphia test and Raven’s color IQ test were conducted. Data were analyzed via analysis of variance.The results showed that the multi-sensory approach and sensory integration were effective in improving their dictation. In other words, the hypothesis was accepted with 95% confidence. On the contrary, the results of both tests showed there was no significant difference between improvement in accuracy and mirror dictation disorder. Therefore, the hypothesis was rejected with 95% confidence. The findings can be effective in enhancement and retention of training the students who cannot progress through the implemented methods in schools.

Abstract
Interest on the ultra-short laser has increased continually over the past decade. Scientists have an excellent power medical resource and the use of this resource will assist in the development of sustainable medical procedures. Scientists with its many technologies and significant medical range-might be expected to have considerable potential for treatment skin cancer. In this paper influences of the critical electron density and radiation intensity on the free-electron density for the ablation on the epidermis and dermis tissues are investigated. Our research work show existing of an inverse relationship between intensity radiations of laser pulsed and distance of focal spot with time dependent of free-electron density. This case is proper for skin cancer treatment. Also, our calculations for each medium (water and skin tissue)show that optimum time dependent free electron density for dermis layer at angle 16˚ and 22˚ which is a function of wavelength, beam width, beam radius, amplitude of the beam radiation strength and pulse duration is more than for epidermis layer.

A sample of 877 individuals (57% women and 43% men) was selected randomly to study the validity and reliability structure of the social support that answered the researcher’s-made questionnaire of the social support. The result of validity study of the final questionnaire showed that the calculated Chronbach alpha coefficient was 0.736. The opinion of the authorities in the field of psychology concerning content validity of the questionnaire was positive. The result of exploratory/confirmatory factor analysis showed that all fitness indexes were in a very desirable limit (RMSEA = 0.056), and the model had a good fit with data. This was suggestive of the questions being in line with the theoretical structure.
Abstract
The Present material is anti ferromagnetic and insulting while replacing with alkaline earth atoms changes take place in symmetry and crystal structure. Ferromagnetic interaction for example increase with do pant concentration and attains maximum at, beyond this level different type of antiferromagnetic interaction intra as well as inter-layer emerge which grown the overall magnetic behavior of the compound. We discuss semi covalent exchange interactions of four types. The nature of exchange viewed with the degree of overlap of the empty level and the field level. Then most interesting case is where exchange between and take place through hopping of holes levels from to via. At each site the mobile hole spin is parallel to the localized case spin at and, thus, ferromagnetism is developed along bonds. This double exchange is strong enough to suppress other exchange interactions. In this paper we are discuss the fundamental aspects of the double-exchange interaction, the impact of other important features like john-Teller effect, modulation of bond length and angle through A-site substitution ,charge carrier transport dependence on A-site radius, orbital ordering among the - network etc. the colossal magneto resistance (CMR) phenomena arises due to several cause. The paper reviews various observed aspects related to CMR to contribute to latest understanding of its physics. Some experimental results are given to illustrate some aspects.

silicon carbideimpuritydopingdiffusion
Abstract
Solid state thermal diffusion is not a common method of impurity doping in silicon carbide (SiC) device fabrication due to the extremely high temperatures required for such a process to occur. We have recently reported that solid state impurity doping by thermal diffusion in SiC is possible if there is a parallel mechanism, such as oxidation or silicidation that creates silicon or carbon vacancies, which then allows dopant impurities to diffuse into these vacancies. This paper describes the experimental procedures by which oxidation and silicidation can be used to generate vacancies and enhance impurity doping at temperatures below 1400 ºC.
Abstract
Gravity is the foundation of the current physical paradigm. Due to that gravity is strongly linked to the curvature of space-time, we research that it lacks of a valid physical concept of space-time, nevertheless that from the science philosophy, via substantivalism, it has tried respond. We found that is due to that the gnoseological process applied from the general relativity, necessarily us leads to metaphysic because ontologically space-time is a metaphysical entity. Thus, we arrive to the super substantivalism that from metaphysics gives an answer on space-time rigorously exact with the vision of Einstein on physics. The result is that matter is nothing since all is space-time, i.e. geometry, therefore is a imperative of the physical science break the current paradigm.

Abstract
This article discusses the approach used during the conduct of spiritual counseling sessions with a girl who struggle to break up with her boyfriend after having a sexual intercourse. Islamic Approach Spiritual is use because the issue presented by the client is very concerned with the practices and regulations of Islam. Using the approach of Ad-Din Cognitive Psychology, mind is an important element that can trigger the individual to act and change. Indeed naturally human instincts are good but desires (nafs) inside that prevents human from doing good deeds. Hearts (qalbu) act as a trigger whether to do good or evil. In the context of the client's case, the client already has the intention to change, but there is something that prevents the client from it. Counselor's role is to trigger the client’s insight through mind. Thus counselors use counseling techniques including confrontation to help the client in order to think. In addition, counselors also use religious elements by stressing (positive reinforcement) about the nature of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful and Almighty accepts repentances. Client succeed achieving the aim of counseling session.

Abstract
In the current service environment in which banks are under increasing pressure not only increase revenue but also respond quickly to changing market conditions, banks will be successful only if they transform themselves and become on demand businesses. Numerous academic reports on service orientation studies resulted in hardship of its real antecedents and outcome identification of among managers and academics. In this study the service orientation literature will be reviewed and furnished, theoretically, followed by posing discussions on different aspects of service orientation. A review on the service definitions and characteristics commences in advance, and then, an overview of different approaches in implications of the service orientation literature as well as dimensions of service orientation will be provided. The paper finds that the literature offers a comprehensive, yet fragmented, picture of service orientation meaning and its improvement ways.
Abstract
This is the study of Irrational Beliefs (IrB) as mediator between the Event of Stressor (A) and Level of Stress (C). The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between IrB as mediator between the A and C among Boarding School (SBP) teachers in Johor. This study utilized a survey using Questionnaire of Teacher’s Belief Systems (SSKG) and Questionnaire of Events of Stressor and Level of Stress (SPTG) involving 115 respondents from several districts SBP in Johor selected based on stratified random sampling method. Data were analysed using inferential statistics. The results shows that there was a significant relationship between A, IrB and C. The A were more influencing to C based on Beta value, ß = .77 than IrB. As conclusion, IrB were not a significant mediator between A and C in SBP, Johor. The implication of this study can be seen from the point of view that the MOE and the employer can start looking for ideas to overcome students' attitude as it was the highest rated Event of Stressor among Boarding schools teachers, and to figure out a way to give exposure to the teachers and students about beliefs system. Furthermore, this method can encourage teachers and students by themselves to create a rational belief of avoiding stress at all time.

Space weatherClimate changesSolar radio burstE-CALLISTO networkSun activitiesSolar flare
Abstract
Space weather is very synonymous with the activities of our nearest star, the Sun. Recently; the space weather program has stimulated interest in this issue. The main reason is due to the extreme climate change and towards to the solar maximum at the beginning of 2013. It is believed that the Earth environment has a close connection with Sun activities, such as solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs). However, to prove it is not an easy way. The dynamism of the Sun also still is not easy to be understood. To improve our understanding of the solar activities, a new experimental approach by 24 hours monitoring has been done since 2007 by e-CALLISTO network. This work is a part of International of Space Weather Initiative Program (ISWI). As one of equatorial country, Malaysia also could contribute in terms of a consistent 12 hours monitoring and one of the earliest sites that observe the Sun every day. Here, we will highlight the role of our site, mechanism and implications of Sun activities to the Earth. It is hoped to meet the current knowledge about the Sun with this new method of experimental approach.
Abstract
Nipah virus (NiV) was identified in Malaysia in late September 1998 as the etiological agent of an outbreak of acute encephalitis with the high mortality rate in human. NiV polymerase gene (L) encodes RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) which is an enzyme required for viral replication. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of the N terminal of polymerase protein in replication of NiV. Based on the extensive deduced amino acid sequence analyses of a number of L proteins of non-segmented negative-strand (NNS) RNA viruses, a cluster of high-homology sequence segments have been identified within the body of the L proteins. The functional characterization of the NiV L polymerase was addressed in this research by generating a series of progressive N- deletions in the cloned gene and testing them in a minigenome assay. Five mutations that delete increasing amounts of the amino terminus of the L protein (20 amino acids) were generated at the amino-terminal. The ability of new recombinants plasmids in viral replication were tested by using minigenome system which is based on an intracellular and plasmid-based replication assay. This system contains an inserted chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene, for readout of the replication of the mini genome directed by wild type or mutant L protein. The results demonstrated that the first 100 amino acids of the NH2-terminal domain spanning a highly conserved motif are directly involved in transcription of the genome RNA. The possible functional significance of the NH2-terminal domain of paramyxovirus L protein is discussed.
Abstract
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been widely used in the field of pollutant degradation, virus killer and environment protection. In this paper, the 8 nm TiO2 nanoparticles are first synthesized by TiOSO4.2H2O precursor. The samples were then characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis and Raman scattering after heat treatments. The XRD results show the sharp picks of the samples after annealing. The SEM results show that the size of nanoparticles is about 8 nm in diameter. Finally Raman scattering pattern of the as-prepared TiO2 indicates the anatase phase
