the present study was conducted to investigate how efl learners with distinct levels of emotional intelligence might benefit from critical thinking-based instruction and use different language learning strategies. a further concern of this study was to investigate the relationship among critical thinking, language learning strategy, and emotional intelligence of efl learners. to this end, 88 ef...

OBJECTIVES This study evaluates whether a low preoperative quality of life (QoL), measured with the EuroQoL instruments EQ-5D and EQ-visual analogue scale (VAS) can be used as a predictor of mortality after elective isolated myocardial revascularization. METHODS A total of 2501 patients, with a mean age of 65.3 ± 9.4 (range 18-93) years and a mean additive EuroSCORE of 2.7 ± 2.1 (0-12), under...

1. Introduction Recall that a fuzzy equivalence relation in a nonempty set S is a fuzzy relation eq : S×S → [0,1] such that eq(x,x) = 1 (reflexive); eq(x,y) = eq(y,x) (symmetric) ; eq(x,y)≈eq(y,z) ≤ eq(x,z) (≈-transitive) where ≈ is a t-norm. Now, as observed by De Cock and Kerre in [3], this notion is not suitable to model approximate equality and therefore to solve paradoxes like the so calle...

A SO3 H-containing solid acid namely SO3 H-functionalized phthalimide (SFP) was synthesized from phthalimide and chlorosulfonic acid, and identified by studying its FT-IR, 1 H and 13C NMR, Mass, XRD, TG and DTG spectra. Afterward, its catalytic activity was examined for the solvent-free condensation of dimedone (5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione) (2 eq.) with arylaldehydes (1 eq.). The results ...

This research sought to investigate the relationship between simultaneous interpreters’ oral cloze performance, their emotional intelligence, and gender. In other words, the study tried to predict the variability in performance on simultaneous interpreting (SI) oral cloze test based on the variability in gender, emotional quotient (EQ) and its subscales. To this end, a number of seventy partici...
