Syllable-based reading improvement: Effects on word reading and reading comprehension in Grade 2

This study examined the effects of a syllable-based reading intervention for German second graders who demonstrated difficulties in the recognition of written words. The intervention focused on fostering word reading via syllable segmentation. The materials consisted of the 500 most frequent syllables typically read by 6- to 8-year-old children. The aims were to practice phonological recoding, consolidate orthographic representations of syllables, and routinize the access to these representations. Compared to children randomly assigned to a wait-list group, poor readers in the treatment condition showed significant improvements in standardized measures of phonological recoding, direct word recognition, and text-based reading comprehension after the 24-session intervention. Poor readers in the treatment condition also showed greater improvements in development of word recognition compared to children with efficient word recognition skills. The results provide evidence that a syllable-based reading intervention is a promising approach to increase struggling readers’ word recognition skills, which in turn will improve their reading comprehension.     

Tracking user-role evolution via topic modeling in community question answering

Community question answering (CQA) services that enable users to ask and answer questions are popular on the internet. Each user can simultaneously play the roles of asker and answerer. Some work has aimed to model the roles of users for potential applications in CQA. However, the dynamic characteristics of user roles have not been addressed. User roles vary over time. This paper explores user representation by tracking user-role evolution, which could enable several potential applications in CQA, such as question recommendation. We believe this paper is the first to track user-role evolution and investigate its influence on the performance of question recommendation in CQA. Moreover, we propose a time-aware role model (TRM) to effectively track user-role evolution. With different independence assumptions, two variants of TRM are developed. Finally, we present the TRM-based approach to question recommendation, which provides a mechanism to naturally integrate the user-role evolution with content relevance between the answerer and the question into a unified probabilistic framework. Experiments using real-world data from Stack Overflow show that (1) the TRM is valid for tracking user-role evolution, and (2) compared with baselines utilizing role based methods, our TRM-based approach consistently and significantly improves the performance of question recommendation. Hence, our approach could enable several potential applications in CQA.     

Medieval and renaissance glass technology in Valdelsa (Florence). Part 1: raw materials, sands and non-vitreous finds

A significant number of archaeological finds of the 13th–16th century from the Tuscan sites of Germagnana and Gambassi in Valdelsa—FI, was studied by different physico-chemical investigations (SEM–EDS, ICP, Mössbauer spectroscopy, XRD, XRF, TG-DTA) in order to contribute to clarify the production methodology and the pre-industrial glass manufacture technology. The studied samples are mainly non-vitreous finds as production waste, refractory materials, crucibles and raw materials; also vitreous finds as frits, skims, glasses (glass masses, glass working waste and finished products) have been taken into consideration. The obtained petrographic and physico-chemical data strongly suggest that both Gambassi and Germagnana glass manufactures were strictly connected with the sources of vitrifiable materials, situated in Tuscan sand quarries. In particular a comparison between sands from the neighbouring quarries and appropriate finds of the two archaeological sites evidences that the employed vitrifiable materials possibly belong to La Casina La Cava resort. The archaeological classification, based on macroscopic observation and stratigraphic position, was compared and verified with the scientific classification of the examined finds of Germagnana and Gambassi sites based on their composition, morphology and physico-chemical properties.     

介入治疗输卵管妊娠的临床观察

用介入治疗技术对10例患者进行超选择性子宫动脉插管一次性5-氟尿嘧啶冲击治疗,并与口服RU486并肌注丙酸睾丸酮作为对照组进行比较.结果显示住院时间介入治疗法最短;输卵管切除术比例,RU486组明显高于介入治疗组;治疗后血HCG下降介入治疗组最快.说明在对输卵管妊娠进行治疗时,应根据具体情况采取相应措施,但5-氟尿嘧啶介入治疗对诊治输卵管妊娠具有明显的优势.     

流动人口:社会体育的新课题--来自调研中的思考

体育从来都不是游离于社会而孤立向前发展的，社会的每一重大进步，几乎都可以在体育中找到它所带来的积极“产物”。同样，社会在发展过程中所出现的社会问题，也将会以不同的方式折射到体育中来，“流动人口”带给社会体育的挑战正是这一折射的反映。本的思考，缘起于调研中的一组数据，随后由潮起潮涌的今日之民工流动，引伸出本的主题——“流动人口：社会体育的新课题”，并围绕主题阐述了流动人口给城乡体育带来的挑战，以及应对挑战的对策和建议。

学校体育是社区体育发展的依托

我国社区体育建设还处于初级阶段,体育场地设施、体育师资、体育管理人才等资源比较匮乏,许多因素制约了社区体育建设发展的步伐。而学校体育场地设施和师资力量等比较丰富,且没有得到充分的开发利用,学校体育资源浪费现象普遍存在。现阶段大力推进社区体育的建设和发展,提高全民健康水平,还需要依托辖区内学校丰富的体育资源来促进社区体育的发展。     

基于学习共同体的《教育技术学导论》——课程设计初探

文章简要地分析了教育技术导论课程的特点及其在目前的教学中存在的问题,提出以学习共同体作为学习组织形式开展教学,既可以丰富课堂教学形式,也能通过师生及同伴之间的互动,促进学习者独立思考,逐步建构自己对教育技术的理解。     

运动疗法对改善心功能不全的效果

通过对25例急性功能不全者(如心脏移植术后、急性心肌梗死致严重心衰病情稳定后)及慢性心衰患者(心功能不全Ⅱ级和Ⅲ级)进行为期18周的运动疗法，结果发现：通过有规律的适度体力活动，可以有效改善心衰患者骨骼肌的生化代谢、心肌功能及运动耐力，改善气体交换功能，增强体力活动耐力。
