Selection of incompetence teachers and a non-accredited college might affect student learning outcome. Among these outcomes are students’ cognitive skills of comprehension, English proficiency, passing the government examinations, job hunting and the entrance examinations required for the master's program in the top universities of US and UK. This study aims to adopt the principles of Accelerated Learning techniques as a tool to improve the teacher and student performance in the College of Architecture at Qassim University. The results of the study suggest the effectiveness of accelerated learning as indicated by the following: the students’ active participation in class individual and group activities, their good performance in the final examinations and ability to apply what they had learned in the environmental control system. As this study is based on classroom instruction of Environmental Control System Course, the change in behavior expected is the increased ability of the architecture students to perform the core plus the additional requirements of the course

Opis:
As the “innervated universe” of our body, the brain, holds the secrets determining humanity, over centuries there was a huge necessity to understand its complexity and ongoing processes. Surgical interventions for neurological diseases entered their Enlightenment Era with Modern Neurosurgery principles, works of Harvey Cushing and Ernest Sachs. Despite over two centuries of extensive research in various neuroscientific aspects, neurological conditions still await for innovative treatment options. Modern medical world complements Western medicine with traditional therapeutic options known and passed from generations to generations, with one of the most broad and oldest traditions - Traditional Chinese Medicine. The aim of this study is to present the use and effectiveness of acupuncture in treatment and rehabilitation of neurosurgical conditions. Therefore substantial articles on use of acupuncture in neurosurgery have been analyzed. Among 184 articles in PubMed Medline database from years 2008-2018, 9 articles were selected for further analysis. Most of the studies focused on reduction of need of general anesthesia in neurosurgical cases and also on influence on anti-inflamatory and immunological reactions. Another group of research investigated acupuncture as supportive therapy for thalamic hemorrhage and cerebral vasospasm post-SAH. Studies complemented and compared treatment of specific symptoms in neurosurgical conditions, such as post operative nausea and vomiting, anxiety. Reviewed research presents improvements in usage of acupuncture for neurosurgical conditions. Hopefully with introduction of quality standards of acupuncture research, as well as increased interest of medical and patient environments in supportive therapies, the scientific based proofs of acupuncture effectiveness will provide assistance in treatment of neurosurgical conditions.

Dementia, the plague of the aging populations, is highly prevalent in East Asia, with currently over 9,8 million dementia patients. Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common cause of dementia, awaits for more detailed research in terms of understanding patomechanism of the disease, but more importantly, in supporting the treatment of this incurable disease in modern medicine. Therefore, alternative therapies assisting traditional therapeutic options become more popular, with the comeback of traditional medications, such as Traditional Japnese Medicine (TJM) - Kampo. The aim of this study was to present the use and effectiveness of TJM in treatment of symptoms of AD. Among articles in PubMed Medline database in years 2008-2018, 8 articles were selected for further analysis. Most of the research (38%) consisted of observational studies using different neuropsychiatric scales and methods of assessment of dementia. Studies presented significant improvements of behavioral symptoms with additional therapy with Yokukansan, Orengedoku-to, Ninjin’yoeito and other Kampo formulas in AD patients. Reviewed research presents effectiveness of Kampo treatment in supporting of cognitive and behavioral symptoms reduction, as well as protection of beta-amyloid induced toxicity. However, more research involving bigger cohorts is needed in order to confirm results on the larger scale, in order to introduce the beneficial aspects of Kampo in AD populations worldwide.

Opis:
Today’s challenge is focused on the reserch and development of best quality and nobel property materials. So new alloys have been developed at the turn of the new millennium referred to as high entropy alloys. These alloys have been achieved through equiatomic substitution, by replacing individual components with multi-component equiatomic or near-equiatomic mixtures of chemically similar species. The present work includes the processing of Multi-component high entropy alloys (HEA) FeNiCoCrCu. The HEA is synthesized by ball milling, Milling hour varies from 0 hour to 40 hour. For the structural analysis X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) as characterization technique is adopted. XRD analyses shows that the intensity of the peaks corresponding to BCC and HCP crystal structures get reduced with increase in milling time. An affinity to FCC phase formation is observed with increase in milling time. The lattice parameter of individual component was determined viz. Bragg’s method.

UN Secretary-General Ban ki-Mun pointed out extremely important and extraordinary points in his remark at Opening of the 7th World Water Forum held in Daegu, Gyeongbuk, The Republic of Korea in 12 April 2015. He said that; “Instead of seeing scarce water as a reason for competition or conflict, we have to treat it as a challenge to collaborate, a challenge to engage in innovative hydro-diplomacy. In today’s world, we must be more aware of the risks of water conflict.” It is important to note the emphasis on “collaboration and innovative hydro-diplomacy” in his remarks. While speaking on the occasion of World Water Day 2013, the Secretary General had also said, “Water scarcity threatens economic and social gains … And it is a potent fuel for wars and conflict.” Secretary General Ban Ki-moon’s warnings were reflected in the offcial definition of water security provided by the United Nations University- IWEH, which says. “The capacity of a population to safeguard sustainable access to adequate quantities of and acceptable quality water for sustaining livelihoods, human well-being, and socio-economic development, for ensuring protection against water-borne pollution and water-related disasters, and for preserving ecosystems in a climate of peace and political stability.” It is important to note the emphasis on “in a climate of peace and political stability” in this definition. The concerns of the United Nations are justified as the world faces an era of depleting water resources. The World Water Development Report of UNESCO, released in March 2015 warns us of serious depletion of water supplies by 2050, while at the same time, significant increase in demand due to population growth, economic development and urbanisation, among other factors. Different effects of climate change are today contributing to even more water scarcity and greater security risks. It shows us that we need an effective and mutually beneficial solution of water resources-related problems. At the global scale, the effective and mutually beneficial solution of water resources-related problems underlie peace, security and stability. But this can become a reality only if we change our conceptual approaches to domestic and transboundary water management.
