Despite the great emphasis laid on the importance of being critical, it is not really known whether English teachers are all aware of Critical pedagogy principles in ELT or whether different components of ELT curriculum, widely practiced in educational system, including material development, teaching styles and strategies, and testing methods and outcomes are consistent with principles of critical pedagogy. Therefore the present study was carried out to substantiate the relationship between the teachers’ critical thinking and their awareness of critical pedagogy principles as the vital essence of language teaching (Birjandi & Bagherkazemi, 2010; Braa & Callero, 2006; Canagarajah, 1999, 2003). To fulfill this aim, measures of critical thinking ability of 112 Iranian EFL teachers, obtained by the Farsi version of Watson–Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal, Form YM (Watson–Glaser, 1961), were estimated and compared with the data collected through Critical Pedagogy Questionnaire (Maki, 2011). A statistically significant correlation between these two measures (r= 0.55, p ? 0.01) was indicated through analysis done by Pearson Product–moment correlation. The findings of this study provide insight into the effective teaching and present suggestions for further research.

Ranges of two vital environmental factors like temperature and relative humidity (RH) were utilized to assess their impacts on the life-history parameters such as immature development (hrs), adult emergence (%) and sex-ratio (male: female) in the mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori L. under laboratory conditions. Disease-free layings (DFLs) from M2P2 variety of the silkworm were reared in a digitalized environmental growth chamber (EGC) at 25°-38° C and corresponding 60-95% RH to record the incubation, larval and pupal developmental periods (in hrs), and subsequent adult emergence and sex-ratio. Results revealed that the rise in temperature and RH significantly (P<0.001) shortened the immature developmental periods in the experimental insects, but the adult emergence and sex-ratio were not affected (P>0.05), even though the number of males outnumbered the females. Negative coefficient of correlation (r) values existed between the environmental factors and all the life-history parameters of B. mori, suggesting further that elevated temperature and RH had adverse impacts on the reproductive biology of this commercially important species. Relevance of the present findings to the climate change issues on the silkworm productivity has been discussed.

Co-curriculum is the activity where the activities are designed outside from the classroom that gives opportunities for students to increase their strengthens of knowledge, skills and value that their learned in the classroom. Each student either from a government school or non-government is required to take at least one uniform activity, an association or club activity and a sports or game activity.

In the relational experiences it is by the adult who is dependent the performance of the report and its intensity. These experiences are fundamental in the development of personality and academic skills, helping the student to face major evolutionary transitions in the school. If the teacher will show willing and able to read and respond appropriately to the messages and demands of the child, he will improve development of social relationships with peers, the academic skills such as attention, motivation, self-esteem, emotional intelligence and self-regulation. The adult must be able to communicate acceptance and emotional warmth, offer help, regulate the child's behavior.

Ultrasonic velocity in ternary mixture containing Benzene group of liquids has been evaluated as function of concentration and temperature, by using certain theoretical models like Nomoto’s relation, Impedance dependence relation, Ideal mixture relation, Rao’s specific velocity relation and Jungie’s method. The experimental values of ultrasonic velocity are compared with the theoretical values. Molecular interaction parameter and the percentage deviation thus calculated indicate the non-ideality in the mixtures.

This research paper was conducted to examine the prospects and part played by traditional rulers in community development with particular reference to Ikono Local Government Area in Akwa Ibom State. Traditionally, the Ikono people have the paramount ruler who is the head of the traditional rulers in the Local Government, and village heads in the respective villages. The theory used is modernization theory propounded by Max Weber. T the study was carried out in nine (9) towns of Ikono Local Government Area. Based on the analysis of the data collection, the following result emerged, traditional rulers make positive impact in community development programmes in Ikono. There is significant role played by traditional rulers in implementing government policies at grassroots level. Some recommendations were also made to complement the role of traditional rulers in community Development which include; traditional rulership consultative forum and programme management committee should be set up at the local government level. The Local Government Chairman and councilors should be meeting with traditional Rulers during their executive council sessions. Seminars and training programmes like workshop for leaders and development of skills should from time to time be organized to enhance the roles of traditional rulers towards community development.

Galeazzi fracture involves a fracture of the radial shaft and a distal radioulnar dislocation (RCD). RCD lesions are almost always associated with isolated fractures of the radius. They often go unnoticed and their ignorance strike prognosis, because disorders pronosupination and the potential impact on the entire wrist. It was described by Sir Astley Cooper in 1866 for the first time. Judet in 1913 and in 1929 Schneck also described this injury but it is only since 1934 following the publication of 18 cases by Ricardo Galeazzi lesion that bears his name. This fracture is rare and only occurs in 6.8% of fractures of the forearm according to the review of 1934 fractures Moore.

A second order process of 164.5 seconds settling time is controlled using a PDF controller (through simulation). The controller is tuned by minimizing the sum of square of error of the control system using MATLAB. Functional constraints are imposed on the maximum percentage overshoot, settling time and stability condition. The result was reforming the process slow response and producing a closed-loop control systems of a maximum percentage overshoot less than 2 % and a settling time less than 0.6. The performance of the tuned-PDF controlled process is compared with that tuned using the ITAE standard forms.
