The Optimum Font Size and Type for Students Aged 9-12 Reading Arabic Characters on Screen: A Case Study
No full textMore and more, interest in the way data is displayed on screen has increased, especially with the increase in the number of people using e-text for learning purposes. So, this requires more focus on factors that affect screen legibility. Text display factors, such as font size, line length and font type, have an impact on reading online. Two font types [Arabic Traditional and Simplified Arabic] in four different sizes [10, 14, 16 and 18] are measured using Arabic text. On-line processes were measured using reading –aloud technique. Accuracy of reading was also measured by the average of errors that students made when reading the text, while reading speed was tested by the time it took students to read the text. However, results indicated that Arabic text in font size 10 is not readable to students aged 10 to 12. On the other hand, font sizes sixteen and eighteen are more readable than any smaller-sized font, the averages of error size 18 improve in all font types, while age has a significant impact on reading speed. Simplified Arabic font is reported as readable to students aged 10-12, especially in sizes 14 and 18
Font tuning : a review and new experimental evidence.
No full textThis paper reflects on the kinds of evidence able to confirm that letter and word identification in reading can be supported by encoding the underlying visual structure of the text, and specifically by deriving structural descriptions for letters. It is proposed that structure-driven processes are intimately linked to the implementation of font-specific rules for translating visual features into elements of a letter’s structural description. Evidence for such font tuning comes from studies exploring the impact of font-mixing on reading fluency, and from studies showing how the benefits of experience with a novel typeface can generalise to letters that have yet to be seen in the typeface. After reviewing this evidence, three new experiments are reported which explore font tuning in the context of the lexical decision task. The time course of font tuning, which is monitored by changing the time interval between successive test stimuli, is shown to be sensitive to the overall probability with which successive stimuli appear in the same typeface. In addition, font tuning is shown to reflect item-by-item fluctuations in this probability. Finally, the effects of font-switching are shown to generalise beyond the particular letters present in the text, and to be confined to 1-back transitions. It is concluded that font tuning reflects the implementation of a set of font-specific translation rules held in working memory, and is moderated by the reader’s implicit knowledge of the constraints present in the sequencing of successive portions of text

and the isolated compounds were tested for their ability to induce the
cytoprotective enzyme NAD (P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1). Among the
purified compounds, the diterpenoid, teucrolivin B 5 was the only one which was
able to induce NQO1 by more than 2-fold, whereas the flavonoid eupatorin 4 was
the most potent inducer, increasing the NQO1 specific activity by 1.75-fold at
a concentration of 25 µg/ml. Compounds 2, 3 and 6 were essentially inactive,
indicating that compounds 1, 4 and 5 are the main contributors to the NQO1
inducer activity of the total extract.</span
El escamoteo del tercer papel del Patriarca Ribera a favor de la expulsión de los moriscos
No full textD. Juan de Ribera, archbishop of Valencia, wrote three memorials to Philip III in 1601-1602. In them he was supporting the expulsion of the Moriscos, was advising that it should begin by the Castilians and was considering lawfully to sell them as slaves. His first biographer, the Jesuit P. Francisco Escrivá, concealed the latter offer. In the text is reconstructed the content of the «third paper» of Ribera, manipulated by Escrivá.D. Juan de Ribera, arzobispo de Valencia, escribió tres memoriales a Felipe III en 1601-1602. En ellos propugnaba la expulsión de los moriscos, aconsejaba que se comenzase por los castellanos y consideraba lícito venderlos como esclavos. Su primer biógrafo, el jesuita P. Francisco Escrivá, ocultó esta última propuesta. En el texto se trata de reconstruir el contenido del «tercer papel» de Ribera, manipulado por Escrivá

Prescribing by mental health nurses: the UK perspective
No full textPURPOSE. This article aims to discuss the growth of mental health nurse (MHN) prescribing in the United Kingdom as an exemplar for readers to compare progress in their own countries and context. This study also aims to provide a historical overview of this process in the United Kingdom where MHNs prescribe safely and competently.
CONCLUSIONS. Finally, evidence has shown that MHNs with prescriptive authority are competent when prescribing when compared to psychiatrists.
PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS. Despite organizational barriers and educational concerns, MHN prescribing is becoming embedded in the healthcare context in the United Kingdo
