Der Whodunit als Hilfsmittel im Fremdsprachenunterricht – dargestellt anhand von Jaume Fusters Claus de vidre
Full text linkHäufig bewirkt der allfällige Übergang vom instrumentellen FSU zur Rezeption literarischer Texte einen Totalreset vorhanden geglaubter Kenntnisse. Dies ist jedoch durch die Wahl des geeigneten Textgenres vermeidbar. Der Artikel soll anhand der Claus de vidre des katalanischen Autors Jaume Fuster zeigen, warum und wie sich Kriminalrätsel besonders als Einstiegsliteratur eignen. Die Vorteile eines Whodunit-Textes für die Entwicklung des Leseverstehens auf der Basis rudimentärer oder gar nicht vorhandener Sprachkenntnisse lassen sich mittels einer wenig erlernten Sprache besonders schön illustrieren. Offenkundig beflügelt das apriorische Wissen von einer rationalen Erklärung für das Mysterium eines aufzuklärenden Verbrechens die Sprachwahrnehmungsfähigkeit regelrecht. Dabei scheint die nachgestellte „Detektivarbeit“ gerade die konzentrische Perzeption nicht unmittelbar tatbezogener Textteile zu befördern.The Whodunit as an instrument in foreign language lessons – described by means of Jaume Fuster’s Claus de vidre The necessary transition from instrumental foreign language lessons to the reading of literary texts often will be accompanied by a total reset of supposed knowledge. This might be avoided by a smart text-selection. The article, using the example of the Catalan author Jaume Fuster and his Claus de vidre, shall prove, why and in which way criminal riddles are specially suitable as beginner’s reading. The advantages of Whodunits in order to improve comprehension of written texts based on low or inexistent language experience might be illustrated especially well by introducing a rather marginal language. Obviously, the previous confidence in the existence of a reasonable explanation about the criminal mystery unchains the evolution of linguistic awareness. It’s surprising that the imitation of the detective’s job seems to improve the concentric perception even of those parts of the text which don’t keep any direct relation with the crime.Häufig bewirkt der allfällige Übergang vom instrumentellen FSU zur Rezeption literarischer Texte einen Totalreset vorhanden geglaubter Kenntnisse.

Reactions of ruthenium and platinum thiolates and the development of novel homogeneous catalysts of Claus chemistry
No full textThe complexes CpRu(PPh(L)SR (Cp=-cyclopentadienyl; R=CMe CHMe 4- reacted with NOBF to give either (CpRu(PPh(NO)SR) BF (L=PPh or complexes containing disulfide ligands (L=CO). The bisphosphine complexes, CpRu(PPhSR, reacted with HBF to give the corresponding thiol complex salts (CpRu(PPh(HSR)) BF and with (MeSSME to give (CpRu(PPh(SMe) BF regardless of the starting thiolates. The complexes CpRu(PPhSR reacted with the sulfur transfer agent MeSphth (phth=phthalimido) to give CpRu (PPh(phth) and the dimers (-SMe)(-SR) (CpRu(phth)) for R=CMe or CHMe while for R=4- the same reaction gave CpRu(PPh(phth)(MeSS-4- and (-SMe)(-S-4-Me) (CpRu(S-4- The complex CpRu(PPh SCHCH=CH prepared from the reaction of CpRu(PPhCl and LiSCHCH=CH reacted with CO and CS to give CpRu(PPh(CO)SCHCH=CH and CpRu(PPhSCSCHCH=CH respectively. Refluxing a toluene solution of CpRu(PPhSCHCH=CH gave (-S)-SCHCH=CH) (CpRu) in which the C-S bond has been cleaved.The complexes (PPhPt(SR) (R=H, 4- were treated with SO as models for the Claus process. These reactions produced adducts of formula (PPhPt(S(SOR) which have a labile thiolate-bound SO molecule, for R=CMe 4- and CHMe The reaction of cis-(PPhPt(SH) with SO gave (PPhPt(SO) and HO, a reaction which mimics Claus chemistry. The complexes cis-(PPhPt(SH) (PPhPt(SO) and (PPhPt(SR) catalyze the Claus reaction (2HS + SOThe complexes (PPhPt(SR) reacted with CS to form the mixed thiolato-thioxanthato complexes (PPhPt(SR)(SCSR) wherein CS had inserted into one of the Pt-S bonds. The complex cis-(PPhPt(SH) reacted with CS to give the known complex, (PPhPt(SCS), which contains a trithiocarbonate group.The structures of (CpRu(PPh(NO)SCMe-SMe)(-S-4- (CpRu(S-4--S)-SCHCH=CH (CpRu) (PPhPt(SO) and (PPhPt(S-4-(SCS-4- were determined by x-ray crystallography
کریگ کنسیڈائن کی کتاب’’The Humanity of Muhammad: A Christian View‘‘کا تجزیاتی مطالعہ: An Analytical study of Craig Considine’s Book “The Humanity of Muhammad: A Christian View”
No full textAnalytical Review of Craig Considines, The Humanity of Muhammad: A Christian View (December 2020) This book, in particular, published in 2020, aims to create stronger bonds of understanding and peace between Christians and Muslims whose common human values continue to be promoted and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is protected. The author discusses several aspects of the Prophet’s life, religious pluralism, social justice, women’s rights, and the importance of knowledge, explaining these as remedies for our contemporary challenges. It references Quranic verses, Hadith, historical events and Sufi poetry as supplementary evidence in order to support its main arguments, that the basis of Islam is founded atop compassion and justice. It gained widespread acclaim but faced criticism for deviations from traditional Islamic teachings, including its unique interpretation of the finality of Prophethood. This review investigates where the book contributes to interfaith harmony as well as academic discourse in the field while also accounting for its limits
Sugar-sweetened beverage consumption among a subset of Canadian youth
Full text linkBACKGROUND Sugar-sweetened beverages ( SSBs) may play a role in increased rates of obesity. This study examined patterns and frequencies of beverage consumption among youth in 3 distinct regions in Canada, and examined associations between beverage consumption and age, sex, body mass index ( BMI), physical activity and dieting behavior, as well as beverage displacement.
METHODS The study included data from 10,188 youth (ages 13-18) from Hamilton and Thunder Bay, Ontario, and Prince Edward Island ( PEI) in 2009 to 2010. The study used in-school self-reported surveys with 12 questions regarding beverage consumption during the previous day, along with self-reported height, weight, physical activity levels, and demographic information. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine variables associated with SSB intake.
RESULTS Overall, 80% of youth consumed at least 1 SSB in the previous day, with 44% consuming 3 or more SSBs. Youth in Thunder Bay consumed significantly more SSBs than Hamilton and PEI, and youth in Hamilton consumed more SSBs than PEI. Boys consumed significantly more SSBs than girls. Older and more physically active youth consumed significantly fewer SSBs. No significant association between BMI and SSB consumption was observed in any model. A modest positive correlation was identified between SSB consumption and milk (r = .06, p < .001) and 100% fruit juice (r = .10, p < .001).
CONCLUSIONS A large proportion of youth consumed SSBs, many at high levels. Research evaluating SSB policy and interventions should be considered a priority

INVESTIGATING THE IMPACT OF SONGS ON VOCABULARY OF HIGH SCHOOL ESL LEARNERS OF THE SELECTED PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN LAHORE
Full text linkThe purpose of this study was to find out how songs impact ESL students' vocabulary studying in a private high school in Lahore. Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences served as the study's theoretical foundation. The quantitative study used a survey and quasi-experimental approach. The research subjects were thirty ninth and tenth grades from several private schools in Lahore. The students were selected through convenience sampling. This study used pre- and post-tests as a basis for quasi-experimental research. The impact of the selected treatment was analyzed through SPSS software, using the paired t test. The Songs technique seems to have a marginally greater impact on vocabulary scores than the conventional technique, as indicated by the higher Cohen's d. Language Policy makers, curriculum designers and teachers may find the results valuable in incorporating songs as teaching methodology in the curriculum and classroom activities
A Study to Analyze Collaboration Patterns for Asian Library and Information Science (LIS) Scholars on Author, Institutional and Country Levels
No full textThe aim of the present study is to determine the collaborative activities of Asian library and information science (LIS) researchers through bibliometric, social network analysis at the author, institution, and country levels of the LIS publications produced by Asian researchers. For the study, research articles were derived from the 1994-2013 Web of Science (WoS) archives. Coauthor analysis software was used to analyze author contributions on the New Modified Author Activity Index (NMAAI(1, 2, 3))-a measurement tool to evaluate author research activities. Results reveal (a) that LIS "institutions collaboration pattern" outcomes did not yield strong collaboration with Asian countries or regions, (b) intracontinent and intercontinent collaboration was less harmonious on institutional and author levels, and (c) interpretation through NMAAI(1,2,3) revealed that Asian countries did not produce sufficient collaborative LIS publications. Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, India, Iran, Israel, and Turkey have been producing ample LIS papers, but the United States and United Kingdom emerged as leaders. This work provides a holistic view of Asian LIS development and emphasizes individual levels of collaboration, finding that most influential authors serve on coauthor networks, which differentiates this study from previous studies in the LIS field. There is immense need to develop liaisons, sign memoranda of understanding (MOUs), and participate in combined research plans and short-term research exchange programs.BIT; National Science Foundation of China (NSFC) [71033001, 71273030]; MOST of China [2012DFG11750][email protected]
