In this paper, we present a new concept of random contraction and prove a coupled random fixed point theorem under this condition which generalizes stochastic Banach contraction principle. Finally, we apply our contraction to obtain a solution of random nonlinear integral equations and we present a numerical example.

It has previously been shown that the effective use of dialogic instruction has a positive impact on student achievement. In this study, we investigate whether linguistic features used to classify properties of classroom discourse generalize across different subpopulations. Results showed that the machine learned models perform equally well when trained and validated on different subpopulations...

PURPOSE This study was designed to test the relative efficacy of different combinations of intervention approaches when targeting speech production accuracy and phonological awareness skills.

METHOD Sixty-five 4-year-olds with a developmental phonological disorder received t...

This article offers a framework for analysing the linguistic resources of intersubjective positioning, meanings which have elsewhere been treated under such headings as modality, polarity, evidentiality, hedging, concession, intensification, attribution and consequentiality. Drawing inspiration from Bakhtin/Vološinov’s dialogic perspective, it proposes that this lexicogrammatically diverse grou...
