a long-standing debate among the vocabulary researchers is the depth of processing to learn vocabulary. this paper is a quantitative research which considers a revision in the “involvement load hypothesis” proposed by laufer and hulstijn in 2001. it investigates the role of proficiency and evaluation in this hypothesis in order to better reveal its potential contribution to vocabulary learning....

This paper presents a coherent framework for designing and evaluating public involvement in research by drawing on an extensive literature and the authors' experience. The framework consists of three key interrelated dimensions: the drivers for involvement; the processes for involvement and the impact of involvement. The pivotal point in this framework is the opportunity for researchers and oth...

Objective To assess the prevalence of disability and its association with social capital among community-dwelling elderly. Methods The study was based on 2nd Health Survey of Belo Horizonte Metropolitan Region - 2010, that included 1,995 community-dwelling elderly, randomly sampled. The exposure of interest was social capital, measured by confidence in neighborhood, perception of the physical...

neighborhood attachment is closely related to concrete and abstract conceptions that set the scene for a variety of interactions among the residents. it is on the basis of social-physical location which happens over time. neighborhood attachment also enhances the possibility of residents’ social participation in urban neighborhoods and has a bilateral relationship with residents’ satisfaction. ...

Attachment to a place is a positive emotional relation between a person and a place that leads to the significance of a place for the people staying there. Several studies have been presented about the sense of attachment to one or more locations around the world that each of them has evaluated the subject from a specific view and has achieved different results. This research tries to assess th...

hydatid disease is a rare parasitic disease, which mainly involves liver then lung tissues. cardiac involvement is very rare, especially when there is not hepatic involvement. we describe a 47-year-old woman with a history of a lung hydatid cyst who was referred to rajaei heart center, tehran, iran in 2012. her chest computed tomographic scan showed a cardiac mass. echocardiographic examination...

This paper gives an approximate result related to Seymour’s Second Neighborhood conjecture, that is, for anym-free digraph G, there exists a vertex v ∈ V (G) and a real number λm such that d(v) ≥ λmd+(v), and λm → 1 while m → +∞. This result generalizes and improves some known results in a sense. © 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The first point here is that convex sets can be separated by linear functionals. Second, continuous linear functionals on subspaces of a locally convex topological vectorspace have continuous extensions to the whole space. Proofs are for real vectorspaces. The complex versions are corollaries. A crucial corollary is that on locally convex topological vectorspaces continuous linear functionals s...

A sense of community and community involvement are said to have positive effects on health status; however, research supporting such associations is inconclusive. This article uses data from the 1998 NSW Health Survey—an annual telephone survey of approximately 17,000 residents throughout the State— to investigate the association between sense of community and community involvement and self-rep...
