Repeatability of Fecal Egg Counts in Wild Horses
No full text- Fecal floats are one of the most commonly used methods of quantifying parasite infections.
- Despite being used for over a century, each variation of the method differs in accuracy and precision.
- In this study, we quantified parasite egg counts in wild horses using a centrifugal technique and Sheather’s sucrose solution.
- Our aim was to confirm the repeatability of the technique so it may be used in additional studies
Can Chinese be Learned Through Card Game Play?
No full textLearning environments play a vital role in students’ learning experience to engage and enhance learning. Implementing games as a learning tool has a substantial impact on students\u27 learning (Lukas et al., 2020). Research indicate that students demonstrate increased engagement in language learning when games are integrated in the learning process (Karyati & Rachmawati, 2019). The use of games introduces cultural contexts that facilitate meaningful collaborative conversations among learners (Poole, et al., 2019). This paper investigates whether Chinese can be learned through card gameplay
Cultivating a Love of Reading in Young Children Through the Built Environment
No full textFirst, the benefits of reading include parents reading aloud to their children as well as children reading silently on their own. Each has advantages and is largely influenced by the child’s age. So remember just because they are too young to read on their own doesn’t mean they can’t start reaping the benefits of reading by listening to those around them read aloud. Reading supports cognitive development or in other words the ability to think, understand, problem-solve, and make decisions. During early childhood, millions of neural connections are made creating new brain cells and adding “more definition and complexity to the intricate circuitry that will remain largely in place for the rest of these children’s lives” (All4Kids). This also includes enhanced vocabulary and communication skills as they are presented with a broad variety of words. Early childhood reading also helps to develop reading comprehension and understanding of different ideas. Reading cultivates a lifestyle of creativity and curiosity as experiences unavailable to them are made available to them through reading about faraway people and places. Reading requires a bit of imagination to see the book come alive and the story unfold. Opening the doors of knowledge about faraway people and places cultivates an open and curious mind that is courageous in the face of the unfamiliar. The next question is how to encourage children to read. Some children jump eagerly into books with little to no prodding from adults, but others have a harder time sitting down to read. Beginning early in life by reading to children at a young age can be extremely helpful but there are many more ways to encourage children to read. One way to encourage reading in children is by selecting books at the right level. Very few people enjoy reading things they can’t understand, it causes frustration and a negative experience, so start at the right level. Two, let children choose the book that interests them and make it relatable, draw connections between the book and the child’s life. In addition, make reading creative and active. Children love to be creative and play. Creating activities influenced by a book brings the story to life and gives the children a hands-on experience which is a powerful learning tool

Survival and Growth of Early Stages of \u3ci\u3eSolanum\u3c/i\u3e spp. After Insect Herbivory
No full textEarly survival and performance are key life-history traits that account for the variation in individual fitness and shapes population dynamics (Fig 1). The early stages of a plant’s life cycle (Fig 2a) are usually the most critical, being vulnerable to pressures such as herbivores and parasites more than later stages. Questions: How do natural enemies impact early survival and regrowth of plants
