Self-construal refers to the process by which individuals define self in relation others. It underpins cognition, motivation, and social behavior. While importance of is well acknowledged field second language (L2) learning how self-construal associated with L2 motivation project-based (PBL) settings remains understudied. Further, considering observed link between gender, may also account for gender differences emerge motivation. This study examined associations among self-construal, learn...
Although UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) act as an important detoxification system for many endogenous and exogenous compounds, they are also involved in the metabolic activation of morphine to form morphine-6-glucuronide (M-6-G). The cDNAs encoding guinea pig liver UGT2B21 UGT2B22, which intimately M-6-G formation, have been cloned characterized. some evidence suggests that UGTs may function oligomers, it is not known whether hetero-oligomer formation leads differences substrate...
This study is the second part of a project on motivation for short in-class extensive reading (ER) and examined factors affecting motivations using self-determination theory (SDT).Japanese university learners English as foreign language (N = 133) responded to questionnaire designed measure four hypothesized predictors ER (i.e., positive peer influences, perceived autonomy, competence, relatedness) in middle an academic year, five subtypes SDT intrinsic motivation, identified regulation,...
Abstract Despite the well acknowledged importance of motivation in second language (L2) learning, longitudinal research regarding effects on growth L2 proficiency remains limited. Furthermore, limited investigation has been done how and interactively develop affect each other. Thus, this study examined impact kanji dual developmental trajectories using self-determination theory. Learners Japanese with Chinese as their First (L1) responded to a questionnaire took tests three times one...
Background. Recent studies have demonstrated that nitric oxide (NO) releasers considerably increase heat shock proteins (HSPs) in the vitro cell system, providing resistance to oxidant damage. This study was designed examine cellular responses of HSPs induced by prior administration an NO releaser, FK409 (FK), vivo transplantation model. Methods. Lewis rats received either saline or FK solution intravenously administered at different time points before graft harvesting (10 μmol/kg) for 15...
Physicochemical and structural properties of starch isolated from tuberous roots apios (Apios americana Medikus) were examined these features compared with those arrowroot starch, potato normal maize starch. The results obtained the examination similar to in X-ray diffraction pattern, solubility swelling power, their behavior RVA, susceptibility granules pancreatin digestion FE-SEM appearance as proceeded. showed Ca type diffractogram had significantly lower power at 70 80 °C than potato....
This study examined longitudinal changes in motivation for short inclass extensive reading (ER) and the relationship between these motivational English proficiency, using selfdetermination theory (SDT;Deci & Ryan, 1985).Japanese university EFL learners (n = 133) took pre-and post-English proficiency tests responded to a questionnaire designed measure five subtypes of SDT (i.e., intrinsic motivation, identified regulation, introjected external amotivation) thrice one academic year.The results...
Abstract The learning environment is an important factor in both learner motivation and outcomes. As second language (L2) classrooms frequently employ group work, clarifying the environmental effects work settings to improve pedagogical application this context. This study examined cross-sectional structural relations among factors of environment, motivation, outcomes for L2 learners at various English proficiency levels. Japanese university students ( N = 200) were engaged activities one...
Raters vary from each other in their severity and leniency rating performance. This study examined the factors affecting rater peer assessments of oral presentations English as a Foreign Language (EFL), focusing on raters’ self-construal presentation abilities. Japanese university students enrolled EFL classes responded to questionnaires gave assessed in-class presentations. The results path analysis revealed that abilities might be potential sources subtle biases assessments. Whereas raters...
In normal rats, the xenobiotic K76 inhibited C5 and probably C2 C3 steps of complement effectively depressed classical pathway activity, alternative component during well beyond drug's 3-hr half-life. It was tested alone with intramuscular tacrolimus (TAC) and/or intragastric cyclophosphamide (CP) in rat recipients heterotopic hearts from guinea pig(discordant) hamster (concordant) donors. Single prevascularization doses 100 200 mg/kg increased median survival time pig 0.17 hr untreated...
An epoxide hydrolase (mEH) in liver microsomes was purified to apparent homogeneity from a dog treated with phenobarbital. The enzyme had minimum molecular weight of 47,000 as determined by SDS-PAGE. mEH activity characterized use substrate, 7-glycidoxycoumarin (GOC), and some effectors this enzyme. In vitro activators, metyrapone, isoquinoline, stimulated the microsomal activity, but former no such effect on case substrate. All inhibitors, 1,1,1-trichloropropene 2,3-oxide (TCPO),...
