1. The document discusses anxiety as an individual difference that can impact second language acquisition. It reviews research showing anxiety can be trait-based, state-based, or situation-specific.
2. Instruments like the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale have been used to measure language anxiety and correlate it with language performance. Studies found low-anxiety learners tend to perform better.
3. Factors like poor performance, negative expectations, and communication apprehension can increase language anxiety over time for learners. The relationship between anxiety and other individual differences like intelligence is also discussed.

Language Anxiety Variables and Their Negative Effects on SLA: A Psychosocial ...TheDigitalDew
The study aimed to explore the psychological and socio-cultural factors that contribute to situation-specific anxiety and
impede second language acquisition (SLA). It collected data from
a survey questionnaire, semi-structured interviews, and focus
group discussions with 39 Bangladeshi EFL learners at the
tertiary level. The findings indicate that situation-specific anxiety
has a negative impact on the acquisition of a second language.
This language anxiety stems from distinct personality traits,
including fear of public speaking, fear of making mistakes, fear
of being negatively judged by teachers and peers, lack of self-confidence, peer comparison, fear of native cultural exclusion,
and an overall unfavorable classroom environment. The results
imply several psychosocial and individual perspectives which
cannot be ignored in the essential concept of second language
acquisition. Teachers may use this study as a reference to assist
their students in generating better ideas and understanding
second language acquisition from the perspective of the learners.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent
Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

5. Anxiety Introduction During the last 3 decades, researchers extensively studied the role of emotional variables in a Second/Foreign Language Learning/ Teaching
8. Definition 1. “Anxiety is a stage of apprehension, a vague fear that is only indirectly associated with its object……… it is generated through the arousal of the limbic system , the primitive, subcortal “chassis” of the cerebrum , which plays an important, indirect role in many kinds of human enterprises, including communication”. Scovel (1978:134)
9. Limbic system. A group of interconnected deep brain structures, common to all mammals, and involved in olfaction, emotion, motivation, behavior, and various autonomic functions. Subcortal a longitudinal vein in the anterior portion of brain
10. 2.“language anxiety is the feeling of tension and apprehension specifically associated with second language contexts, including speaking, listening and learning.” Macintyre & Gardner (1994:284)
12. Reasons of Anxiety? • Difficulties with emotion regulation • Changes in routine • Changes in expectations • Apprehension in social situations • Fear of future change • Poor understanding of occurrences in Surroundings-Change
13. What is Stress? • The most commonly accepted definition of stress (mainly attributed to Richard S Lazarus ) is that stress is a condition or feeling experienced when a person perceives that “demands exceed the personal and social resources the individual is able to mobilize.” • Fight and flight response
14. Negative Consequences of Anxiety • Anxious, jumpy and irritable • Reduces ability to work effectively • Intense focus on threat reduces ability to make judgments by drawing information from many sources • More accident prone • Long term health risks both psychological and physical • Few situations in day to day life where this is useful • Needs to be kept under control
17. Anxiety in Asperger Syndrome • Children, adolescents and adults with AS experience high levels of anxiety • Studies have found that children with AS experience levels of anxiety more similar to children with diagnosed anxiety disorders than to non-anxious children (Kim et al., 2000; Sofronoff & Russell ,2005)
20. Types of Anxiety 1. Trait Anxiety “a more permanent predisposition to be anxious. It is related to learner’s Personality.” (Scovel, p. 137). 2. State Anxiety “apprehension that is experienced at a particular moment in time as a response to a definite situation” (Spielberger 1983) 3. Situation Specific Anxiety “the anxiety which is aroused by a specific type of situation or event such as Public Speaking, Examination or class participation.”

35. “ Title Claims that ESL students" experience a kind of anxiety that is related to test anxiety , fear of negative evaluation , and communication apprehension ” (Title 1997) “a similar study was done on ESL Language anxiety in Mexican Girl by Eleni Pappamihiel”(Pappamihiel 2001)
36. Many of the Studies showed that learner with low anxiety learns better. “the student who feels at ease in the classroom and likes the teacher may seek out more intakes by volunteering----- and may be more accepting of the teacher as a source of input.” (Krashen 1981:23)
38. Model of the role of anxiety in language learning based on MacIntyre & Gardner (1989a) Continued poor performance Poor performance and continued bad learning experiences result in increased anxiety Later Learner expect to be nervous and performs poorly Situation anxiety develops if learner develops negative expectations based on bad learning experiences. Post-Beginner None Very Little- Restricted to stage anxiety Beginner Effect on Learning Type of Anxiety Stage
39.
40. Interaction among Anxiety and other individual differences Interaction between level of anxiety and IQ level. “ Higher states of anxiety facilitate learning at upper levels of intelligence, whereas they are associated with poorer performance at lower IQ levels” (Scovel, p. 136).
41.
42. Individual Differences in SLA: Methods / Affect One dominant methodology for SLA studies of the affective domain; Elkhafaifi introduced: Correlation research
43.
44.
45.
46. Individual Differences in SLA: Self-Report Data In correlation studies of SLA affect, informants provide information about themselves (about their anxiety, tolerance for ambiguity, motivation, and so on) by completing the instrument (a questionnaire). The results are called “self-report data.” What are the pros and cons of self-report data? Advantages : they provide a fast and easy way of categorizing informants’ affective characteristics. We could categorize informants ethnographically (through observation), but this would require a considerable investment in time and resources. Self-report data represent a trade-off for researchers in time-energy-accuracy.
47. Individual Differences in SLA: Self-Report Data Disadvantages : Hawthorne effect: Informants may provide data they think the researcher wants to receive. Self-flattery syndrome: They may provide data that present themselves favorably, but which may be inaccurate.
48. Individual Differences in SLA: Correlation Self-report data are then correlated with some measure of SLA success (test scores, typically), so that researchers can draw conclusions about the relationship between affect (extroversion, self-esteem, anxiety, and so on) and success in SLA. Remember what correlation is not: Causation Correlation simply shows a relationship between two things, not that one causes the other. With that in mind, what is wrong with this statement? “ The majority of studies support the view that anxiety contributes to poor performance, not the reverse” (Elkhafaifi, p. 208).
49. Alpha & Omega Anxiety is one of the main Blocking Factor in the Process of Effective Language Learning.
50.
51. Now, Mr. Hamza Niaz Would share “ Role of Parents in Anxiety”
52.
53. “ If a stressed mother slams the door and throws down her keys, she is teaching her child one way to relieve her stress……if she goes out for a jog, meditates or practices yoga, she is teaching other ways.” (Stolberg, 2002)
55. The Parents should not quarrel in front of children. Because it is a big cause of anxiety in children and may also enhance anxiety already present in children.
56. It has been observed that performance of the children in the class is deeply affected by the disturbed home environment.
57. I would like to invite Mr. Saqib Aftab to continue.
