In this study, a Delphi method was used to identify and predict the roles of blended learning approaches in computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environments. The Delphi panel consisted of experts in online learning from different geographic regions of the world. This study discusses findings related to (a) pros and cons of blended learning approaches in CSCL; (b) blended learning f...

INTRODUCTION West Africa is characterized by the circulation of HIV-1 and HIV-2. The laboratory diagnosis of these two infections as well as the choice of a first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) is challenging, considering the limited access to second-line regimens. This study aimed at confirming the classification of HIV-2 and HIV-1&2 dually reactive patients followed up in the HIV-2 cohort ...

this study was an attempt to analyze the applications and problems of conducting blended learning (bl) in view point of the agricultural students from bu-ali sina university. the study has employed a surveying methodology with interviewing and included a combination of descriptive and quantitative research methods. statistical population of the study included 500 agricultural students from bu-a...

Conjugated polymers blended with graphene represent a possible approach for making organic bulk heterojunction solar cells. In this paper, the time-resolved fluorescence dynamics of poly(3-hexylthiophene2,5-diyl) (P3HT) and poly[2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV) blended with graphene microsheets derived from chemically reduced graphitic oxide are studied. Both poly...

The tensile properties and deformation response of an ultrafine-grained (UFG) Al–Mg alloy with bimodal grain structure were investigated using a micro-straining unit and a strain mapping technique. Atomized Al 5083 powder was ball-milled in liquid N2 to obtain a nanocrystalline (NC) structure, then blended with 50 wt.% unmilled coarse-grained (CG) powder, and consolidated to produce a bimodal g...

BACKGROUND In our previous study, we successfully developed 3-D scaffolds prepared from silk fibroin (SF), silk fibroin/collagen (SF/C) and silk fibroin/gelatin (SF/G) using a freeze drying technique. The blended construct showed superior mechanical properties to silk fibroin construct. In addition, collagen and gelatin, contain RGD sequences that could facilitate cell attachment and proliferat...

The impact of particular learning environments and self-regulation could be a beneficial area for research focus. More specifically, there has not been sufficient attention given to the role played by disposition or “will” in facilitating self-regulation to be successful. A student can possess the skills or ability to think critically but lack the will or motivation to use those skills. This qu...
