Developing L2 learners' intercultural sensitivity and reflective thinking is essential for second language learning. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the impact of photovoice on intercultural sensitivity and reflective thinking. To this end, a sample of 48 intermediate EFL learners was recruited from an English language institute in Isfahan, Iran and placed into a photovoice group (PG) and...

We report a functional reflective polarizer that can be incorporated into a compact augmented reality system. The design principle of the functional reflective polarizer is explained and two design examples are illustrated. In the first example, with the specially designed functional reflective polarizer, the transmittance of the augment reality system is relatively high as compared to a polari...

objective: a clinical challenge of using zirconia frameworks is to achieve adequate bond with different substrates. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of bioglass and silica coating of zirconia substrates on microshear bond strength of resin cement to tetragonal zirconia. methods: this laboratory experimental study was conducted on zirconia discs. a total of 120 ytzp zirconia (zirkonzahn) ...

BACKGROUND Reflective practices have been advocated as a method to bridge the gap between nursing theory and practice, and as a tool to develop knowledge embedded in practice. AIM The aim of this study was to examine the perceptions of student nurses towards reflective practice in their clinical practice. METHODS A cross sectional descriptive survey was carried out to examine the perception...

The Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University is a five-year medical school where the major emphasis is to train physician investigators. In this article we describe our experience with reflective writing in our competency-based medical school, which has reflective practice as one of the nine core competencies. We outline how we use reflective writing as a w...

Processing of highly reflective and high thermally conductive materials (Cu, Ag, etc.) by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is increasing interest to broaden the range that can be additively manufactured. However, these alloys are challenged reflectivity resulting in unmelted particles porosity. This exacerbated for in-situ alloying techniques, where divergent optical properties blended powders fu...
