This article describes a quasi experimental study, following the Static Group Posttest Design. It aimed at determining the effect of formative assessment on students’ achievement in science at grade level eight. Two rural schools, one of either gender, were taken to conduct experiment. Two intact classes, one from each of the schools, constituted experimental group and the other two served as c...

Interferon (IFN) is required for protecting mice from viral pathogenesis; reciprocally, it mediates the deleterious septic shock response to bacterial infection. The critical transcription factor for IFN induction, in both cases, is IRF-3, which is activated by TLR3 or RIG-I signaling in response to virus infection and TLR4 signaling in response to bacterial infection. Here, we report that IRF-...

This study was to report the comparison of outcomes between Ilizarov ring fixator (IRF) and Taylor Spatial Frame® (Smith & Nephew, Memphis, Tenn.; TSF) in terms of the effectiveness of ankle-foot deformities correction, follow-up results, and complications. Fourteen patients with ankle-foot deformities were corrected using circular external fixation (IRF group = 7 patients; TSF group = 7 patien...

The interferon (IFN)-induced double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-activated Ser/Thr protein kinase (PKR) plays a role in the antiviral and antiproliferative effects of IFN. PKR phosphorylates initiation factor eIF2alpha, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis, and also activates the transcription factor, nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), by phosphorylating the inhibitor of NF-kappaB, IkappaB. Mice devoid...

AbstractThe spread of Covid-19 has an impact on changing learning patterns from offline to online or hybrid types. This phenomenon intends fill the gap that this research analyzes both and during pandemic Covid19. The pattern was investigated obtain information about characteristics pattern, advantages, disadvantages, benefits in classroom interaction. aims study are find out types teacherstude...

An apoptotic cellular defense mechanism is triggered in response to viral dsRNA generated during the course of infection by many DNA and RNA viruses. We demonstrate that apoptosis induced by dsRNA or a paramyxovirus is independent of the action of interferon as it can proceed in a variety of cell lines and primary cells deficient in an interferon response. Initiation of apoptosis appears to be ...

The salient feature of dendritic cells (DC) is the initiation of appropriate adaptive immune responses by discriminating between pathogens. Using a prototypic model of intracellular infection, we previously showed that Leishmania major parasites prime human DC for efficient interleukin-12 (IL-12) secretion. L. major infection is associated with self-limiting cutaneous disease and powerful immun...

Engagement in the L2 classroom is consequential for enhancing quality of learning experiences; however, exploration engagement Initiation, Response, and Feedback (IRF) cycles has received scant attention pedagogy. This study reports on research, examining moves IRF cycles. Video recordings questionnaires were used to collect data from ten EFL classes, being directed by eight teachers, with 73 l...

BACKGROUND Impaired renal function is a marker of poor prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The aim of the study was to assess the incidence and independent predictors of stroke in population of patients with AMI treated invasively and concomitant impaired renal function (IRF). METHODS We analyzed 2,520 consecutive AMI patients admitted to our Center between 2003 and ...
