Advocates for educational reform frequently call for policies to increase competition between schools because it is argued that market forces naturally lead to greater efficiencies, including improved student learning, when schools face competition. Researchers examining this issue are confronted with difficulties in defining reasonable measures of competition within local educational markets. We approach the problem through the application of Geographical Information System (GIS) tools to the development of a school competition index (SCI) for the state of Mississippi. The SCI captures the degree of competition each public school in the state faces from peer private schools spatially located within their local market area. We find that higher degrees of competition from private schools significantly increase public primary and high school efficiency, as measured by the proficiency rates on high-stakes examinations. It is anticipated that the current results will inform policymakers regarding the viability of competition-based reforms. 相似文献

Attitudes and concerns of pre-service teachers regarding implementation of inclusive education were examined. The participants consisted of 480 pre-service teachers enrolled in a one year Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) program at Pune University, in the state of Maharashtra. The results of the study showed that participants had somewhat negative attitudes and a moderate degree of concern regarding the inclusion of students with disabilities in their classes. Participants with higher level of education (i.e. postgraduate degrees) were found to have significantly more positive attitudes compared to their counterparts. Perceived level of confidence in teaching students with disabilities was also associated with lower degree of concerns amongst participants. The results are discussed with possible implications for university educators and policy makers. 相似文献

In the present study the antioxidative potential ofMomordica charantia, Azadirachta indica, Allium sativum andOcimum sanctum was assessed in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Lipid peroxide levels were also measured in normal, diabetic and treated
animals. Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were significantly higher and antioxidant activity was found low in diabetic groups
as compared to the control groups, and significant alteration in both the MDA levels and antioxidant activity was also observed
when the above herbal hypoglycemic agents were given to diabetic rats. On the basis of our results we conclude thatM. charantia, A. indica, A. sativum andO. sanctum are not only useful in controlling the lipid peroxide levels but are also helpful in further strengthening the antioxidant
potential. 相似文献

Tuberculosis has, in a short span of time, become a major health problem in the third world or developing countries like India.
In view of this, a retrospective study was conducted to study Adenosine deaminase activity in serum and pleural fluid in patients
affected with Pulmonary Tuberculosis and other common non-tubercular chronic respiratory diseases. The study was carried out
on 100 patients suffering from various pulmonary disorders, between January 2002 and August 2002. Thirty-five normal healthy
individuals were included as control subjects. ADA estimation was done by sensitive colorimetric method. The study revealed
that the serum ADA activity was higher in patients of tuberculous pulmonary and pleural diseases and non-tuberculous pulmonary
diseases than in control subjects. The mean serum ADA activity in the patients’ group was 35.5±6.93 u/l as compared to 16.20±2.85
u/l in control group, showing a highly significant (P≪0.001) difference. ADA activity was highest in tuberculous pleuropulmonary
diseases. The pleural fluid ADA activity was higher in pyogenic pleural effusion than in tuberculous pleural effusion. 相似文献

In the present communication, we report remarkably elevated levels of xanthine oxidase activity in the blood of the patients
with myocardial infarction when compared to age and sex matched healthy persons. Highly significant increase of malondialdehyde,
serving as an index of lipid peroxidation and thus free radical mediated damage, has also been found in the patients. We propose
the measurement of the blood levels of xanthine oxidase, a very simple, reliable and less time consuming method as an indicator
of myocardial infarction. 相似文献

Student faculty ratings are used at most institutions of higher learning for three important reasons. First, the ratings provide direct feedback to the faculty, and this enables faculty to adjust their teaching styles. Second, the ratings provide the administration with information intended to assist in guiding and mentoring faculty toward more effective pedagogical performance in the classroom. Third, the ratings also provide the administration with information to be used in the reappointment, tenure, and promotion processes, as well as for assignment of salary range adjustments and teaching awards. To be of real value, however, all of this is predicated on the use of a valid and reliable faculty‐rating instrument along with a system designed to provide both the faculty and the administration with norming reports that allow for appropriate comparisons of ratings. This article reports such a study conducted within a large department of a business school and recommends that the process used be adapted by other business school departments and other academic units across the university and at other universities to ensure a more universally appropriate usage of students’ ratings. 相似文献

Increase in urine albumin excretion rate (AER) precede a fall in glomerular
filtration rate in patients developing diabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD). Our
results have shown that 7 (50 %) of diabetic and hypertensive individuals with
decreased GFR do not have increased AER. In this cross-sectional study, we measured
AER of 75 patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension by immunoturbidimetric
method. We correlated the results with eGFR values obtained by Cockcroft–Gault and
MDRD method. The method used was not a compensated method. We measured serum
creatinine by modified Jaffe’s kinetic method in autoanalyzer XL-600. Analysis of
data showed positive correlation between eGFR and microalbuminuria by both the
methods with eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Pearson’s
correlation co-efficient (r) was 0.9 (p = 0.0001)
by Cockcroft–Gault formula and 0.69 (p = 0.0063)
by MDRD formula. Our results concluded that there was positive correlation between
AER and eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. We have recognized
that these two parameters provide a complimentary benefit in management of cases
with CKD. 相似文献

Despite enormous research in the field of hypertension, its pathophysiology still remains largely unresolved and appears to
be multifactorial. In the present communication, we have analyzed the status of nitric oxide (NO) in the patients with essential
hypertension and age matched controls. We have found that the levels of NO are lowered in essential hypertension. The normalization
of blood pressure by administration of antihypertensive therapy causes rise in the NO level indicating that perturbed NO status
in essential hypertension is reversible. Addition of antioxidant to the antihypertensive drugs causes a further, though non
significant, rise in the levels of NO, suggesting that antioxidants may be combined with antihypertensive drugs as adjunct
in the management of essential hypertension. 相似文献

Oxidative stress conditions associated with atherosclerosis leads to oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein (LDL). The body’s capabilities to inhibit LDL oxidation and to remove or neutralize the atherogenic oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) are limited. When the LDL cholesterol level increases in the blood, it leads to dangerous consequences like atherosclerosis, leading to myocardial infarction. The major effect of an antioxidant in the LDL environment is to prevent the formation of ox-LDL (during atherogenesis. Strategies to reduce LDL oxidation and prevent atherogenesis can involve the enrichment of arterial cells with potent antioxidants that can prevent oxidative damage to the arterial wall. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of l-arginine on serum lipid and cholesterol levels in the patients of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The study consisted of 70 AMI patients and 60 healthy individuals (serving as control) age 55–65 years. Serum levels of total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL), LDL and Triglycerides were determined on day 1 and day 15 of l-arginine administration (oral dose 3 g/day). The total cholesterol/HDL and the LDL/HDL ratio were calculated and compared. As per the observations, l-arginine administration was found to improve the lipid profile of the subjects. Hence it could be used as an adjuvant therapy for AMI and as a preventive measure for the onset of the disease in the healthy elderly also. 相似文献

In this section of Resonance, we invite readers to pose questions likely to be raised in a classroom situation. We may suggest strategies for dealing
with them, or invite responses, or both. “Classroom” is equally a forum for raising broader issues and sharing personal experiences
and viewpoints on matters related to teaching and learning science. 相似文献
