Critical Instructional Components For Helping Students Learn
1. Critical Instructional Components For Helping Students Learn
Introduction One of the identified critical instructional components for helping students learn to read
is vocabulary. Since the National Reading Panel (2000) and the National Early Literacy Panel
(2009) reported that strong early oral vocabulary knowledge is a predictor for later successful
reading outcomes, an increased research and teaching focus in this area has arisen.
The achievement gap that is a central concern in education and society today is associated to a
"word gap" that begins early in life. Hart and Risley (1995) identified in their seminal study that by
the age of four, children from low–income families hear 30 million less words than their peers from
professional families. Although there are some researchers that ... Show more content on

The guiding questions are: What are the characteristics of effective interventions that positively
impact at–risk preschoolers' vocabulary knowledge? How could preschool teachers potentially use
these elements in their classrooms?
Definitions
At–Risk Children
In their review of research, Snell et al. (2015) identify students "at–risk" as ones who are more likely
to enter school behind in their language development. The intervention and control groups from the
Roskos & Burstein (2011) 12–week mixed methods study compared word learning of two groups of
36 (n=72) preschoolers who showed vocabulary "vulnerabilities," which meant that the children
were chosen due to low standardized vocabulary scores, low income, and/or special needs. At–risk
participants (n=25) from the Loftus–Rattan, Mitchell, and Coyne (2016) one–week within–subjects
design study were chosen specifically because of their attendance at an urban preschool in the
northeast that had a large population of dual language learners (DLL; 88%), non–white (85%), and
free or reduced–priced lunch (83%). Finally, Silverman, Crandell, and Carlis (2013) conducted their
12–weeks of research in 26 Head Start classrooms with a sample of 264 children (90% low
socioeconomic status, 79% DLL, 80% nonwhite) in order to compare the effects of vocabulary

Measures of Flexibility and Their Correlations to Sit–and–Reach and Modified Sit–and–Reach Tests
INTRODUCTION
Flexibility can be defined as the capability of something to bend easily without breaking. The
flexibility of a person is commonly measured during fitness tests, and the most frequently used test
of a person's flexibility is the sit–and–reach (Jackson and Baker, 1986). Though it is commonly
accepted that the sit–and–reach produces an accurate and relative measure of a person's flexibility,
the validity of the test has been examined a number of times (Jackson and ... Show more content on

For shoulder flexion 61% of the variance could be accounted for by the sit–and–reach. A correlation
was also found between the modified sit–and–reach test and both the shoulder extension and hip
flexion tests. For shoulder extension 33% of the variance was accounted for by the modified sit–
and–reach and for hip flexion 22% of the variance was accounted for by the modified sit–and–reach.

9. Hip Flexor Moment Lab Report
From cite{aus} and cite{childers2012measurement} the biomechanics of the hip is studied. When
we walk, during the initial contact the hip moves towards extension. However once the heel contacts
the ground range of extension reduces. With short stump it stays in flexion.
The peak hip extension occurs late as compared to a normal gait which is $~65%$ stride c/w
$55%$. This happens as an attempt to increase the step length of the intact limb when no prosthetic
push off is present. The work of the concentric hip extensor is to create the hip extensor moment.
This hip extensor moment is also seen to be higher than in the case of normal gait. This is prominent
in the first half of the stance where extension of the knee an d the hip happens. ... Show more

The tendency seen is higher power generation in shorter period of time in comparison with normal.
The power required to lift a prosthesis may only be $30–40%$ of the weight of a normal limb and it
is this power generated in short period of time. The hip torque required during preswing and early
swing is observed to be less in knees with damping and stance resistance. This is due more
anteriorally aligned knee axis. This is required to increase the extension moment during heel
contact. But at the same time, due to this alignment initiating flexion in preswing and early swing is
a challenge.
During late swing the range of hip flexion is observed to be greater than normal that is at all walking
speeds. Also the amount of hip flexor activity was observed to be higher. These factors however
increase the step length. By keeping the hip flexing the extending knee can be decelerated to reduce
terminal impact.
%Some amputees with constant friction knees transitioned from hip flexion, to extension, to flexion
again, possibly to assist in knee extension by reversing the direction of the thigh.

11. Explain The Six Fundamental Movements Of Major Body Segments
The six fundamental movements of major body segments are, abduction, extension, flexion,
rotation, adduction, and circumduction. Abduction is the movement of a body part away from the
midline, an example of that would be lateral raises using a dumbbell. Another example would be the
lateral shuffle. It targets the muscles of the thighs, hips, and buttocks. An extension movement
would be the return from flexion and an exercise for this would–be leg extensions. An example of a
flexion movement is a hamstring stretch. Rotation is the circular movement of a body segment about
a long axis and an example is when a tennis player hits the ball backhanded. Adduction is movement
of a body part toward the midline. An example of this would be to use the

1.2 Agricultural Extension System: the Bangladesh case In Bangladesh a multitude of agencies from
private and public origin offer extension support to the farmers (ASIRP, 2006). Although recent
years witness a noticeable change in agricultural extension service providers, the public institutions
still remain the dominant. The new entrants to the field include non–governmental organizations
(NGOs), the private sector agribusiness enterprises and grass–root institutions eg. Self–Help and
micro–credit Groups involving farming communities (WB, 2005).
DAE is the key department under the Ministry of Agriculture which provides extension support to
crop sector farmers. This organization has country wide coverage and operational staff. Other public
organizations involved in providing extension service in crop sectors are Agricultural Information
Service (AIS), Department of Agriculture Marketing (DAM), Bangladesh Agriculture Development
Corporation (BADC), Rural Development Academy (RDA), Bangladesh Rural Development Board
(BRDB), Cotton Development Board (CDB), Tea Board (TB), Department of Youth Development
(DYD), Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB) etc. Except DAE other public extension
organizations have their own way of offering extension services.
NGOs started to provide their own extension services in the late 1970s to disseminate knowledge
among their targeted clients (Haque, 2010). More than 100 local, national, and international NGOs

The article "Muscular contributions to hip and knee extension during the single limb stance phase of
normal gait: a Theoretical Framework for Crouch Gait" by Allison Arnold, Frank Anderson, Marcus
Pandy, and Scott Delp investigates the biomechanics of normal gait in hopes to uncover ideas to
help determine treatments for crouch gait. Crouch gait is a bothersome abnormality that affects the
gait pattern of people who suffer from the condition of cerebral palsy. It's characterized by excessive
flexion of the hips and knees during standing and excessive use of metabolic energy to complete a
single gait cycle. Currently, the treatments for this condition are limited and have unpredictable
outcomes due to the unknown biomechanical causes of the excessive flexion in crouch gait. These
treatments include surgical lengthening of hamstrings, ankle–foot orthoses, and intense stretching
regimens, with patients experiencing results ranging from no improvement in their symptoms to
dramatic improvements. The vast array of results from treatments are due to the little understanding
medical professionals have of not only abnormal gait patterns (such as crouch gait) but of normal
gait as well (Arnold, Anderson, Pandy, and Delp, 2005). Despite the article's title relating to crouch
gait, the purpose of the study conducted was to examine and quantify the accelerations of normal

curl the biceps, flexion takes place at the elbow.
2) Extension its increases in the angle of two body segments. A great example is performing triceps
extension with a dumbbell held by both hands and lift over the head until both of the arms are

3) Abduction ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Inward rotation occurs when the body segments move towards the midline, and outward rotation
occurs when the body segments move away from the midline. A great example is, rotation of the
neck it could be inwards or outwards, creating slow movements around the neck.
6) Circumduction is the sequential combination of movements outlining a geometric cone. An
example of this is a circular arm movement as a warm–up in which the arms are moving forward
and backward.
One example of an exercise using a combination of several of these movements together is jumping
squats with free weights. This exercise targets the lower body, core and also the upper body. The
quadriceps, the hamstrings, the gluteal, the lower back and the abdominals. The back muscle act as
stabilizers to keep the body in a correct balance position. In the explosion phase, hip extends in a
slight adduction knee extension and ankle plantar flexion. During the landing phase, back into the
squat position, all the muscle is in an eccentric position, the hip flexion with slight abduction, knee
flexion, and ankle dorsiflexion. Jumping squats with weights are just one of the extended workouts
that utilize these principles. It is very important to understand the fundamental movements of major

21. What Are Hamstring Strains Have Been One Of The Most...
Hamstring strains have been one of the most common injuries around the world. Unfortunately,
there has been a limited amount of success reducing the rate of this injury (Schmit, 2012). Although
many researchers and doctors have studied the cause of hamstring strains, there are still many
theories as to why they occur. One theory includes that there is an imbalance between the medial
and lateral hamstring muscle that leads to hamstring muscle fatigue (Prentice, 2015). Hamstring
strains are painful and prevalent in different types of activities. Most commonly these strains can be
found in athletes that engage in running, skating, jumping sliding, kicking, and quick/fast motions
(Valle, 2015). A hamstring is comprised of a group of three muscles that can be found along the back
of the thigh. These muscles allow the range of motion at the knee, which gives the ability to bend
the leg. The three hamstring muscles include semitendinosus, semimbranosus, and biceps femoris.
The hamstrings work concentrically to flex the knee, extend the hip, and rotate the tibia (Prentice,
2015). These muscles begin at the ischial tuberosity, which is at the bottom of the pelvis. The
muscles meet at the knee joint and end at the lower leg, where they are joined together through
connective tissue that attach the tendons to the bones like double–sided tape. The hamstring muscle
groups work to help extend the leg back and provide motion at the knee. Due to the crossing

23. Rectus Femoris
The rectus femoris is one of the four muscles in the quadriceps group of the body and is located in
the anterior aspect of the thigh. As a bi–articular structure that crosses both the hip and knee joints, it
functions to actively flex the hip and extend the knee. Thus when stretched, the rectus femoris may
constrain concurrent hip extension and knee flexion. However, if the rectus femoris were to
constrain neither of the two actions, the length of the muscle is established as passively sufficient.
The two tests that give answer to whether the rectus femoris muscle is passively sufficient is based
upon the comparisons between hip extension with knee flexed vs. extended, and/or knee flexion
with hip flexed vs. extended. However, note that either test will provide the same results. ... Show

To examine whether or not the rectus femoris is passively sufficient, we can observe the PRoM of
the hip or knee. Thus, make sure the re–positioning of the second joint is accomplished by a load
applied by methods other than the subject's activation of muscles such as gravity or external force
generators (e.g., other people). When the hip is extended, meaning the trunk and thigh are parallel, it
is said to be in 0 degrees of flexion and any extension beyond this point must be recorded as
negative. Nevertheless, as long as an examiner follows the same generalized method, he or she is

During mid stance the peak height of the hip is seen to be higher on the prosthetic limb than in a non
amputee. This is a result of the reduced flexion of the prosthetic knee. Also the characteristic of the
prosthetic foot influences the peak height too. After contralateral foot contact an abrupt transition
from hip extension to flexion is seen. In the late stance, an eccentric hip flexor activity is seen as
compared to normal. This inturn generates higher hip flexor moment. This greater moment further
decelerates the extending hip and ensures that the HAT segment does not lag behind as the amputee
pulls themselves over the prosthesis.

The most common method of creating a base for a whole head weave is to braid the hair in cornrows
from the front to the back, while leaving out a small section at the top to cover the tracks. However,
this method can not be done for a partial hair weave. To complete a partial sew in you would need to
braid the area of hair that will hold the extensions in a side to side pattern.
Step 2 After the base has been made, you will need to sew the remaining ends of the cornrow on to
it. Start by threading the needle. You would do this by inserting the thread through the eye of the
needle. Once you have that completed fold the thread in two and measure out approximately 18
inches. At the end, tie the two pieces together in a knot.
Step 3
Fold the end of the braid on top of the cornrow and sew it down using a basic stitch method. Once
you have reached the end of the braid you should make a knot to keep it from coming undone.
Step 4
Open the pack of hair extensions and comb out any knots or tangles pay special attention to any
rubber bands or pins used to keep the hair together.

KPE160H1F – FUNDAMENTALS OF HUMAN MOVEMENT
ASSIGNMENT #1
1. Theory of Tests of Passive Sufficiency (3 marks)
a. In order to test the passive sufficiency of a bi–articular structure, such as a muscle, both joints
which that structure crosses must first be identified. Additionally, the movements of those two joints
which will constrain that structure must be identified. Next, one joint must be selected, and placed
into the position that may constrain the structure. At the same time, the other joint must be placed in
the position which will not put further strain on that structure. The selected joint must then be
measured for its range of motion. Next, the same must be done with the selected joint, but in
contrast, the other joint must be placed in the position which WILL further constrain the bi–articular
structure. Once that has been done, the selected joint's range of motion must be measured once
more.
If the range of motion of the selected joint is equal when the other joint is in both positions, the bi–
articular structure is passively sufficient. If the range of motion of the selected joint is smaller in the
selected joint when the other joint is in a position that will put further strain on the bi–articular
structure, that structure is not passively sufficient.

40. Life Extension And Its Meaning For Life
Life Extension and It's Meaning for Life Aside from having ideas of what life is and how it came to
be, another idea to discuss is whether or not can we redefine human life through life extension. It
has been observed in tests on organisms simpler than humans, that the process of aging is plastic, or
is capable of being influenced. An example of the observation comes from numerous tests with mice
in which the mice's telomeres, or the ends of their chromosomes that protect the chromosomes from
wear, are lengthened or shortened. Lengthening these telomeres using their variation of the protein,
telomerase, allowed for the mice to have longer lifespans. Keeping in mind that mice have been
observed to have increased lifespan due to their treatment with telomerase, such method of life
extension is currently not feasible with humans. This is due to the fact that treating humans with
human telomerase leads to a higher probability of having cancer. Thus, other ways of extending
lifespan are being developed, one way in particular being through regenerative medicine or
regenerative therapies. The strategy to combat aging to length human lifespan with regenerative
medicine comes from the theory that aging is caused by the accumulation of cell damage throughout
a human's life. This damage results from "biochemical accidents" that occur surprisingly frequently
in cells throughout the body. An example of such a mishap would be the common event that waste

Brand Extension, basically, is a peculiar strategy related to the Brand management. There are
various factors that tend to affect the brand extension process. These may include Parent Brand
experience and awareness, brand image, perceived extension fit, perceived Quality, perceived

(Ahmed H. Tolba, 2011) The brand performance has been studied in terms of the market share,
ability of the company to charge the price premium, and its distribution coverage. The more the
companies evaluate their performance on increasing the market share and enhancing the coverage of
the product, the more are the chances of the brand extension to succeed in the market.
The product category is an important variable that plays a vital role in the success or failure of the

51. The Five Functions Of The Muscular System
Functions of the muscular system:
The muscular system has many functions. There are 5 main functions. Firstly, it allows us to balance
via proprio receptors. In terms of balance, not only do you rely on the two sensory organs in your
inner ear but also receptors in your muscles and tendons help your body to balance. The receptors in
your muscles and tendons are called proprio receptors, these proprio receptors detect how stretched
your joints, tendons and muscles are.
Secondly it allows movement as muscles cross joints and attach bone to bone. Muscles work in pairs
and skeletal muscles can pull in one direction and for this reason they always come in pairs. Due to
the fact that two muscles work together, as one muscle in the pair contracts the other muscle relaxes
for example as the bicep contracts the triceps relaxes to once again straighten the joint out.
Thirdly our muscular system also allows blood circulation which is controlled by the heart. The
muscular pump is a skeletal muscle group that help to assist the heart in the circulation of blood to
all the muscles around the body.
The muscular system also helps to keep us warm and keep us at the correct temperature.
Thermoregulation is a process that allows your body to maintain its correct temperature of 37
degrees c. Muscles contribute to your bodies temperature because they receive messages from the
brain when you are cold. Our bodies response to being cold is shivering which warms you up on the
other hand if you are

In the matter of Harrisons Pharmacy Pty Limited:
Will Courts Readily Grant Extension to the Convening Period?
Introduction
In Harrisons Case, the Federal Court of Australia considered the administrators' application to
extend the convening period. This case comment will discuss the various principles that contribute
to the Court's discretion in granting extensions, and how the application of those principles in other
cases yield different results.
Background
On 25 March 2013, administrators were appointed. The secured creditor appointed receivers to
control over substantially all of the companies' assets. Harrisons Pharmacy comprises a group of
companies that operate small to large pharmacies, "bulk billing", medical and pharmaceutical supply
contracts and a wellness spa. The administrator sought the Court's permission to extend the
convening period by six months. Although the administrators brought the proceedings, the receivers
supported it. The central issue in Harrisons Case is whether and for what period the Court should
exercise its discretion to extend the convening period. The Court was satisfied and granted extension
to the convening period.
Balancing Act
Harrisons case demonstrates that the Courts will strike a balance between the expectation that the
administration will be relatively quick and the requirement that undue speed should not prejudice

your calf must contract to extend your ankle this is called plantar flexion, while the muscles on the
front of your shin contracts to hold your ankle rigid. The action muscle in place there is called an

The power of kicking a ball predominantly comes from the knee straightening. This knee extension,

Volleyball is a popular sport across the world for both males and females, whether it be
competitively or recreationally (Mitchinson, 2013). The objective of the game is to send the ball
over the net and have it land inside the opponents' court. However, to even start the game or rally,
one must serve the ball from their side of the court to the other side of the court. This then gives the
teams an opportunity to score a point. Therefore, serving is one of the most important skills in
volleyball since it is one of the few ways to continue to score points (Seminati, 2015). A type of
serve often is the overhand serve. This serve requires the subject to toss the ball with one hand and

top–down as well as large and medium farmer centered (Swanson, 2011; World Bank, 2005;
Sobhan, 1995).
In general extension services offered by private organizations is conceived as better than public
extension service although empirical evidences are scarce. Rather extension service offered by
private companies can logically be criticized for high profit making intension and ignoring
development motive (Haque, 2010). On the other hand NGOs may be little ahead in terms of contact

BRIEF AMICUS CURIAE OF ELDRED V. ASHCROFT IN SUPPORT OF PETITIONER
QUESTION PRESENTED
Does the Copyright Term Extension Act, which extends the term of a copyright to 70 years after the
creator's death, violate the "limited Times" prescription of the Copyright Clause and the free speech
guarantee of the First Amendment?
IDENTITY AND INTEREST OF AMICUS CURIAE We respectfully submit this brief amicus
curiae in support of the petitioners, Eldred et al. The petitioners owned the copyrights of works now
in the public domain. They challenged the 1998 Copyright Term Extension Act (CTEA) on the
grounds that the act allows copyrights to exist in perpetuity and restricts free speech, so the act
violates the Copyright Clause and the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Justice
Ginsburg denied Eldred's challenges, finding that the terms established by the CTEA are limited
terms and that the act accommodates for petitioner's First Amendment concerns. We submit this
amicus curiae in dissent of the court opinion that upheld the CTEA.
SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT The Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998 established that
copyright terms now expire 70 years after the creator's death, which is a 20–year extension from the
previous copyright law in 1976 that established term expiration 50 years after the creator's death.
The Act applies equally to future works and works with existing copyrights. The court in Eldred v.
Ashcroft upheld the CTEA as a rational exercise of congressional authority in that the copyright
extension creates a significant benefit: encouraging copyright authors to produce more creative
works. However, the extension has little influence on the motivation of authors to create and it
constructs roadblocks in the creation process. Overall, the expected outcome of the 20–year
copyright term extension is a reduction in the number of works being created and copyrighted in the
future due to the increased costs of production. Without works entering the public domain, the
copyright owner monopolizes their work, creating social costs associated with a monopoly market
failure. The CTEA should be struck down as it is inconsistent with the ultimate goal of copyright
law, which is to promote the

each arm the triceps brachi and aneconeus muscles are contracted to extend the elbow joint. The
radio–carpal joint in extension uses the extensor carpi radialis longus, abductor pollicis and flexor
carpi radialis to perform the neutral positioning of the radio–carpel and extension of the phalanges
