Comics aren't just for fun anymore: the practical use of comics by TESOL professionals
No full textThesis (M.A.)--University of Wisconsin-River Falls, 2013. ii + 173 leaves. Includes bibliographical references (leaves 155-173).Comics, in the form of comic strips, comic books, and single panel cartoons are ubiquitous in classroom materials for teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL). While comics material is widely accepted as a teaching aid in TESOL, there is relatively little research into why comics are popular as a teaching instrument and how the effectiveness of comics can be maximized in TESOL. This thesis is designed to bridge the gap between conventional wisdom on the use of comics in ESL/EFL instruction and research related to visual aids in learning and language acquisition. The hidden science behind comics use in TESOL is examined to reveal the nature of comics, the psychological impact of the medium on learners, the qualities that make some comics more educational than others, and the most empirically sound ways to use comics in education. The definition of the comics medium itself is explored; characterizations of comics created by TESOL professionals, comic scholars, and psychologists are indexed and analyzed. This definition is followed by a look at the current role of comics in society at large, the teaching community in general, and TESOL specifically. From there, this paper explores the psycholinguistic concepts of construction of meaning and the language faculty. Through an analysis of the evolution of language, art history, and the psychology of perception, comics are revealed to be an innate form of human communication that originated in pre-literate ancient times; this medium continues to be a powerful form of non-verbal communication to this day. Next, educational theories particularly relevant to comics use in TESOL are examined, with a focus Allan Pavio's Dual Coding theory of learning and Stephen Krashen's Input and Affective Filter Hypotheses. Each major section of this thesis contains a subsection of case studies from TESOL fieldwork, followed by an index of the things teachers should know and do to use the information in the section effectively

No full textSix triorganotin derivatives of thiolupinine(1-mercaptolupinane), 2-mercaptobenzoxazole and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole were
prepared and tested against several bacteria, fungi and protozoa. Most compounds exhibited high activity against the tested
microorganisms and particularly worth noting was the activity of triethyltin lupinylsulfide on Gram-negative strains. Triethylgermanium
lupinylsulfide was also prepared but was devoid of action on the whole set of tested microorganims

Gold(I) complexes as antimicrobial agents
No full textSeven gold complexes were prepared and investigated for biocidal activity against Gram-positive and -negative bacteria, fungi and protozoa. All of them were active against the tested microorganisms with the exception of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In many cases minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were well below 1 mu g/ml. The activity is not simply related to the gold content. but also to the nature of both the phosphine and the aminothiol to which the metal is bound
