Описание: Human sexuality involves sexual attraction to another person, which for the most part is to the opposite sex (heterosexuality), some to the same sex (homosexuality) or some having both (bisexuality) or not being attracted to anyone in a sexual manner (asexuality). Human sexuality is determined by many factors, like cultural, political, legal and philosophical aspects of life, but also morality, ethics, theology, spirituality and religion. Sexuality is as old as mankind and interest in sexual activity is very much related to the onset of puberty and the period of schooling. In this book, we have gathered papers from around the world in order to discuss issues of sexuality from an international perspective.

Описание: Abstract:

Rigorous experimental analysis of the effect of oral reading rate on comprehension has only recently been performed. There is still controversy over which rate of oral reading maximizes comprehension and retention. Inflection and how it interacts with rate of oral reading have received very little attention.

This study sought to determine how oral reading rate, when approximating functional conversational speech (150 to 200 words/minute) and inflection, impacts comprehension and maintenance of comprehension. A single subject design was developed to determine how oral reading at 150 to 200 words/minute with inflection compared with oral reading a 1; 40 to 60 words/minute (instructional rate), wit

inflection on measures of comprehension and maintenance of comprehension.

High oral reading rates without inflection were also compared with low oral reading rates without inflection to determine their effects on comprehension and maintenance of comprehension. The dependent variables were a free recall task, answers to 10 comprehension questions and written responses to a Cloze procedure.

These occurred immediately following reading criteria, and at three and 10 days after criteria was reached.

Six subjects were used in this study; two subjects were of high school age and reading below grade level and four subjects were in the third grade reading on grade level. For this study an ABCD design was used with four subjects and a CDAB design was used for two subjects so that any effect that sequence may have had could be determined. Also, the high rate conditions were yoked to the low rate conditions to keep the number of trials equal.

The results confirmed that the combination of high oral reading rate with inflection (when reading approximates conversational speech), increased both the accuracy and speed of comprehension and its maintenance more than any of the other combinations. The combination of high oral reading without inflection was found to increase comprehension and maintenance of comprehension when compared with low oral reading rate with and without inflection. Also, inflection training in both the high and low rate oral reading conditions improved comprehension. The results of Experiment 2 systematically replicated the results of Experiment 1 across reading levels, reading passages, settings, and subjects.

Описание: Smoking has well-known health hazards. It is associated with lung cancer, oral cancer, stroke, heart disease, emphysema, and other short- and long-term breathing problems. These troubling facts are very well-known to the public, both adults and adolescents. There is also a concerning association between the use of tobacco and other dangerous behaviours (eg: the use of other substances such as alcohol and marijuana and high risk sexual behaviour). Cognitive and mental problems including anxiety, depression and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder are also associated with smoking. It is of great concern and frustration that all the above-mentioned facts do not prevent millions from starting to smoke every year around the world. In fact, smoking is practised by every nation on the planet and appears to take place in every society, regardless of race, colour or social status. In this book, we have gathered research from international collaborators to touch on these issues.
