The importance of demotivation in language learning has been overshadowed in the commonplace research on language learning motivation and even in mainstream psychology (Dörnyei, 2005). The purpose behind conducting this study was to investigate the relationship between students’ demotives for studying in general and English language in particular. Besides, the importance of educational context ...

where W is a standard d-dimensional Brownian motion on a probability space (Ω,F , (Ft)0≤t≤T , P ) with (Ft)0≤t≤T the filtration generated by W . The function g : Ω × [0, T ] × R × R → R is called generator of (1.1). Here T is the terminal time, and ξ is a R-valued FT -adapted random variable; (g, T, ξ) are the parameters of (1.1). The solution (yt, zt)t∈[0,T ] is a pair of Ft-adapted and square...

Suppose that each member of a set of agents has a preference list of a subset of houses, possibly involving ties, and each agent and house has their capacity denoting the maximum number of houses/agents (respectively) that can be matched to him/her/it. We want to find a matching M , called popular, for which there is no other matching M ′ such that more agents prefer M ′ to M than M to M ′, sub...

Given the centrality of make or buy decisions in transaction cost theory, it is important to understand the factors that influence managers’ choices. The empirical evidence to date is unclear as to what conditions influence export managers’ choices to ‘‘make’’ (the direct mode of establishing in-house export channels) versus ‘‘buy’’ (the indirect mode of outsourcing certain services to intermed...

A new method of regional anaesthetic called Pericapsular Nerve Group block (PENG) blocks these nerves in order to target the hip's anterior capsule. PENG Block applications include medial thigh lesions, hip fractures, and vascular operations. Only ultrasonic guidance is used when performing Block, two methods—out-of-plane in-plane method—are with low-frequency probe. When employed a multimodal ...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the effect of "Seguro Popular" (SP) on the incidence of catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) and out-of-pocket (OOP) health expenditure in the medium term. MATERIAL AND METHODS We used the 'Encuesta de Evaluación del SP' --SP Survey Evaluation-- (2005-2008). We analyzed the SP effect on the rural cohort during two years of follow-up (2006 and 2008) and in the urban coho...

As a subject it has also inspired a number of films and TV documentaries. King Henry posed an argumen...

BACKGROUND We assessed aspects of Seguro Popular, a programme aimed to deliver health insurance, regular and preventive medical care, medicines, and health facilities to 50 million uninsured Mexicans. METHODS We randomly assigned treatment within 74 matched pairs of health clusters-ie, health facility catchment areas-representing 118 569 households in seven Mexican states, and measured outcom...
