The port of Sines: contribution for the emergence of a regional cluster
The document discusses the port of Sines in Portugal and its potential role in the emergence of a regional cluster. It provides background on the port's past as an industrial complex focused on oil refining. Currently, the port has diversified its cargo and is managed by a public authority with private terminals. The future potential for Sines includes capturing more transatlantic cargo as the Panama Canal expands, allowing it to serve as a strategic port connecting Europe, North and South America. The port aims to develop regional linkages through rail and other infrastructure to spur economic growth and form a maritime cluster across industries like shipbuilding and renewable energy.

The study used temporal order judgment (TOJ) tasks to directly measure how motivationally significant stimuli like faces capture attention. In Experiment 1, upright faces showed prior entry over inverted faces. Experiment 2 found emotional faces had greater prior entry than neutral faces. Experiment 3 ruled out low-level feature differences by finding prior entry for inverted emotional faces. Experiment 4 eliminated prior entry for inverted faces, supporting the role of holistic processing. Experiment 5 extended these effects to realistic faces. Experiment 6 addressed response biases. Across experiments, the study provides evidence that faces and emotional expressions capture attention through visual prior entry.

This document summarizes a study that compared the auditory attention and working memory abilities of children with learning disabilities to typically developing children. The study assessed 19 children aged 10-14 years using dichotic listening, auditory Stroop, and digit backward recall tasks. The results showed that children with learning disabilities performed significantly worse than typically developing children on all tasks. Specifically, children with learning disabilities had longer reaction times on the auditory Stroop task, lower scores on digit backward recall, and poorer performance on the dichotic listening task. The findings suggest that children with learning disabilities have deficits in selective attention and working memory compared to their typically developing peers.

Working memory span tasks involve maintaining items while performing a concurrent processing task. The document summarizes the time-based resource-sharing model, which proposes that working memory spans depend on the rate of processing and duration of the processing component, rather than the complexity of the task. Experiments varying factors like number of retrievals, retrieval speed, and task type support the model by showing spans correlate with actual processing time but not task nature independently of duration. The model argues working memory spans are limited by the time attention is unavailable to refresh memory traces due to concurrent processing.
Emotional States and Goal-Direted Behaviour
This study investigated how anxiety affects the interference of emotional stimuli on goal-directed behavior. Participants completed a visual search task where they identified targets primed by emotional or neutral faces. Response times were measured. Results showed that emotional faces interfered with task performance for all participants by slowing response times. Higher anxiety participants were slower overall compared to lower anxiety participants. Surprisingly, neutral face primes were processed similarly to negative primes rather than as a true control, also slowing response times. The effect of emotional interference on goal-directed behavior was found to be complex and potentially dependent on the type of emotional stimulus used.

Appropriate Style Guidelines
A central aspect of the Teaching-Learning Model at University of Phoenix is the degree of emphasis placed on written and verbal communication skills. To succeed in your college courses and in your chosen profession, you must be able to communicate in a clear, concise, and correct manner.
Universities and colleges normally require a standardized format for written communication. By adopting one style for all writing assignments, instructors are able to assess content and apply the same evaluation techniques to all students’ papers in a consistent manner. Following a formal style also adds credibility and validity to your writing: It will be much easier for your readers to follow the flow of your ideas and to locate information in your paper.
Academic Honesty
Additionally, you must apply consistent style guidelines to credit your sources, which helps you to avoid plagiarizing the work of other authors and to maintain academic honesty. Academic honesty is highly valued at the university—so highly valued, in fact, that the following passage explaining the importance of academic honesty is included in the syllabus for every course:
University of Phoenix students utilize university resources with honesty and integrity. These resources include, but are not limited to, the online library, online consultation with faculty, and registration systems. In addition to truthful representation in these areas, students must acknowledge references from original works, avoid plagiarism, and use writing and.

This template was developed by Paul Rose of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. To make the template more practical for typical class papers, we have made minor alterations to Dr. Rose’s template (e.g., omitting Author Note, Abstract sections). If submitting a paper for publication, use Dr. Rose’s full template, which is available for free download at www.siue.edu/~prose/classes/APAFormatTemplate.doc
To use this template, begin the body of your paper (your introduction) as the first paragraph beneath the title. Note that APA does not use the Introduction header: just plunge in. Add your text and delete the placeholder text used in the template. The rest of the text in this template provides hints about properly generating all the parts of your APA-formatted paper.
APA style specifies that major components of the paper (abstract, body, references, etc.) each begin on a new page with the heading centered at the top of the page. The body of the text is typically divided into sections with headings such as Method, Results, and Discussion. For an example of a paper properly forma.

This template’s margins, page numbers, and page breaks are set for you, and you do not need to change them. Do not add any extra spaces between the heading and the text (you may want to check Spacing under Format, Paragraph in your word processor, and make sure that it is set to 0”). Instead, just double space as usual, indent a full ½ inch (preferably using the tab button), and start typing. The introduction should receive no specific heading because readers assume that the first section functions as your paper’s introduction.
After considering these formatting issues, you will need to construct a thesis statement, which lets readers know how you synthesized the literature into a treatise that is capable of advancing a new point of view. This statement provides readers with a lens for understanding the forthcoming research presented in the body of your essay (after all, each piece of literature should support and apply to this thesis statement).
Once you have established your thesis, begin constructing the introduction. An easy template for writing an introduction follows:
1.
Start with what has been said or done regarding the topic.
2.
Explain the problem with what has been said or done.
3.
Offer a solution in a concise thesis statement that can be supported by the literature.
4.
Explain how the thesis brings about social change.
Level 1 Heading
This text will be the beginning of the body of the essay. Even though this section has a new heading, make sure to connect this section to the previous one so readers can follow along with the ideas and research presented. The first sentence in each paragraph should transition from the previous paragraph and summarize the main point in the paragraph. Make sure each paragraph contains only one topic, and when you see yourself drifting to another idea, make sure you break into a new paragraph. Also, avoid long paragraphs (more than three-fourths of a page) to help hold readers’ attention; many shorter paragraphs are better than a few long ones. In short, think this: new idea, new paragraph.
Another Level 1 Heading
Here is another Level 1 heading. Note that, when you add additional headings, you should use the APA levels available in the Styles area of your toolbar. If you enter them manually instead, you may need to delete the automatic indent that appears because Word thinks you are beginning a new paragraph. Again, the topic sentence of this ...

Prospect
Biking gained popularity rapidly in the recent years. Most cities are promoting biking to lower traffic volumes and enhance the welfare of the public. There are many different ways that cities are using to encourage the public bike. With the existing infrastructure in most cities in the US, biking can be dangerous. Given the physical work done by bikers they inhale much more air than people driving motored vehicles. The City of Portland and ODOT are the two main audiences for this research paper.
By providing more bike lanes around the city and separating bike routes away from traffic to provide safer, more convenient options for bikers. Also separate bike routes have been proven to have much cleaner air than routes shared with other vehicles. If cities implement these changes it will have a great effect on bicycling and it will attract younger, healthier and more active newcomers as well as it will promoting a healthier life style of the existing population. Cities can also create a biking community that helps bikers reach each other and share their experiences.

Title of Your Essay
Start the first paragraph here. It should introduce your reader to the subject you are writing about, as well as your particular position or claim. To learn more about what an introduction should include and what to include in a conclusion, please see the following resource: Introductions & Conclusions. Please read about thesis statements on our Ashford Writing Center website: Thesis Statements. Other helpful tools on our website are the Thesis Generator and Moving from Prompt to Thesis.
The Writing Process
Spend time planning your paper. Before you can create your first paragraph, consider these “pre-writing” tips. A good practice is to brainstorm ideas and decide how to express the main idea or thesis. Once you have a rough idea of what you want to say or argue, create an outline or list to help you organize the evidence you plan to present. For longer papers, include sub-headings or levels of heading. You can use this template to help you format your paper.
Writing the Body Paragraphs
Each paragraph of your assignment should be clear and easy to follow. We have several good resources to help you write a strong paragraph, such as How to Write a Good Paragraph and the P.I.E. Paragraph Structure.
Using Citations Correctly
In addition to being well-written, each paragraph should include an in-text citation to all ideas, references, or quotations that are from outside sources and research. The Ashford Writing Center provides many resources to help you follow correct citation style (primarily APA) and gives lessons and examples of how to paraphrase and cite sources. The APA Key Elements page is a good place to start.
Using Tables, Graphs, Images, and Appendices
For some papers and reports, you may choose to add a table, graph, or image
within the body of the draft. Or you may choose to include an appendix at the end of your paper. These can help to provide a visual representation of data or other information that you wish to relay to your reader. Follow this guidance to understand when and how to use these features.

The following are commonly used references. Please fill in the required information, and if you need more help, see the AWC References page. References are listed in alphabetical order.

Lisa Arends : For students informations
Just a reminder that there are APA helpers in instructor add ons and templates for writing your APA papers. Click the resource tab, Course Material, then add ons for instructor add ons Common APA mistakes and citation helpers are especially useful files.
My tip for today is - paraphrasing and using your own words is always preferred over using a direct quote. Your references should support/ prove what you say is true, they should not speak for you or replace your own words. This is true in all academic writing.
Over use of quotes is a problem in student writing and could be considered plagiarism. Turn it In (TII) excludes quotes on your reports, but educators are taught to look at the report with and without quotes excluded. If the TII similarity score is high when quotes are included it could impact your score.
Work on explaining things in your own words or paraphrasing, not only is it a higher level of writing, it helps improve your memory and understanding of the concept.

Appropriate Style Guidelines
A central aspect of the Teaching-Learning Model at University of Phoenix is the degree of emphasis placed on written and verbal communication skills. To succeed in your college courses and in your chosen profession, you must be able to communicate in a clear, concise, and correct manner.
Universities and colleges normally require a standardized format for written communication. By adopting one style for all writing assignments, instructors are able to assess content and apply the same evaluation techniques to all students’ papers in a consistent manner. Following a formal style also adds credibility and validity to your writing: It will be much easier for your readers to follow the flow of your ideas and to locate information in your paper.
Academic Honesty
Additionally, you must apply consistent style guidelines to credit your sources, which helps you to avoid plagiarizing the work of other authors and to maintain academic honesty. Academic honesty is highly valued at the university—so highly valued, in fact, that the following passage explaining the importance of academic honesty is included in the syllabus for every course:
University of Phoenix students utilize university resources with honesty and integrity. These resources include, but are not limited to, the online library, online consultation with faculty, and registration systems. In addition to truthful representation in these areas, students must acknowledge references from original works, avoid plagiarism, and use writing and.

Abstract
This is the abstract, which is typed in block format with no indentation. The abstract briefly summarizes your paper in 120 words or less. Through your abstract, your readers should be able to fully understand the content and the implications of the paper. Also, note that writing this section after the paper itself may be helpful. See section 2.04 APA for tips and more information on writing abstracts. This template was updated April 25, 2016.
Title of the Paper
This template’s margins, page numbers, and page breaks are set for you, and you do not need to change them. Do not add any extra spaces between the heading and the text (you may want to check Spacing under Format, Paragraph in your word processor, and make sure that it is set to 0”). Instead, just double space as usual, indent a full ½ inch (preferably using the tab button), and start typing. The introduction should receive no specific heading because readers assume that the first section functions as your paper’s introduction.
After considering these formatting issues, you will need to construct a thesis statement, which lets readers know how you synthesized the literature into a treatise that is capable of advancing a new point of view. This statement provides readers with a lens for understanding the forthcoming research presented in the body of your essay (after all, each piece of literature should support and apply to this thesis statement).
Once you have established your thesis, begin constructing the introduction. An easy template for writing an introduction follows:
1.
Start with what has been said or done regarding the topic.
2.
Explain the problem with what has been said or done.
3.
Offer a solution in a concise thesis statement that can be supported by the literature.
4.
Explain how the thesis brings about social change.
Level 1 Heading
This text will be the beginning of the body of the essay. Even though this section has a new heading, make sure to connect this section to the previous one so readers can follow along with the ideas and research presented. The first sentence in each paragraph should transition from the previous paragraph and summarize the main point in the paragraph. Make sure each paragraph contains only one topic, and when you see yourself drifting to another idea, make sure you break into a new paragraph. Also, avoid long paragraphs (more than three-fourths of a page) to help hold readers’ attention; many shorter paragraphs are better than a few long ones. In short, think this: new idea, new paragraph.
Another Level 1 Heading
Here is another Level 1 heading. Note that, when you add additional headings, you should use the APA levels available in the Styles area of your toolbar. If you enter them manually instead, you may need to delete the automatic indent that appears because Word thinks you are beginning a new paragraph. Again, the topic sentence of this ...

Prospect
Biking gained popularity rapidly in the recent years. Most cities are promoting biking to lower traffic volumes and enhance the welfare of the public. There are many different ways that cities are using to encourage the public bike. With the existing infrastructure in most cities in the US, biking can be dangerous. Given the physical work done by bikers they inhale much more air than people driving motored vehicles. The City of Portland and ODOT are the two main audiences for this research paper.
By providing more bike lanes around the city and separating bike routes away from traffic to provide safer, more convenient options for bikers. Also separate bike routes have been proven to have much cleaner air than routes shared with other vehicles. If cities implement these changes it will have a great effect on bicycling and it will attract younger, healthier and more active newcomers as well as it will promoting a healthier life style of the existing population. Cities can also create a biking community that helps bikers reach each other and share their experiences.

Title of Your Essay
Start the first paragraph here. It should introduce your reader to the subject you are writing about, as well as your particular position or claim. To learn more about what an introduction should include and what to include in a conclusion, please see the following resource: Introductions & Conclusions. Please read about thesis statements on our Ashford Writing Center website: Thesis Statements. Other helpful tools on our website are the Thesis Generator and Moving from Prompt to Thesis.
The Writing Process
Spend time planning your paper. Before you can create your first paragraph, consider these “pre-writing” tips. A good practice is to brainstorm ideas and decide how to express the main idea or thesis. Once you have a rough idea of what you want to say or argue, create an outline or list to help you organize the evidence you plan to present. For longer papers, include sub-headings or levels of heading. You can use this template to help you format your paper.
Writing the Body Paragraphs
Each paragraph of your assignment should be clear and easy to follow. We have several good resources to help you write a strong paragraph, such as How to Write a Good Paragraph and the P.I.E. Paragraph Structure.
Using Citations Correctly
In addition to being well-written, each paragraph should include an in-text citation to all ideas, references, or quotations that are from outside sources and research. The Ashford Writing Center provides many resources to help you follow correct citation style (primarily APA) and gives lessons and examples of how to paraphrase and cite sources. The APA Key Elements page is a good place to start.
Using Tables, Graphs, Images, and Appendices
For some papers and reports, you may choose to add a table, graph, or image
within the body of the draft. Or you may choose to include an appendix at the end of your paper. These can help to provide a visual representation of data or other information that you wish to relay to your reader. Follow this guidance to understand when and how to use these features.
References
The following are commonly used references. Please fill in the required information, and if you need more help, see the AWC References page. References are listed in alphabetical order.

Lisa Arends : For students informations
Just a reminder that there are APA helpers in instructor add ons and templates for writing your APA papers. Click the resource tab, Course Material, then add ons for instructor add ons Common APA mistakes and citation helpers are especially useful files.
My tip for today is - paraphrasing and using your own words is always preferred over using a direct quote. Your references should support/ prove what you say is true, they should not speak for you or replace your own words. This is true in all academic writing.
Over use of quotes is a problem in student writing and could be considered plagiarism. Turn it In (TII) excludes quotes on your reports, but educators are taught to look at the report with and without quotes excluded. If the TII similarity score is high when quotes are included it could impact your score.
Work on explaining things in your own words or paraphrasing, not only is it a higher level of writing, it helps improve your memory and understanding of the concept.

Flow is what we feel when we are fully alive.

Flow is something that happens most easily when we sing, dance, do sports – but it can happen when we work, read a good book, or have a good conversation.

Teacher Feedback and Linguistic Profiles Can Help to Improve Learners' Writing
Teacher Feedback and Linguistic Profiles Can Help to Improve Learners' WritingBenjamin L. Stewart, PhD
The document discusses a study on analyzing writing errors in English compositions to help improve learners' writing. The study identified types of errors in 31 English learners' essays on friendship. It analyzed syntactic errors like word order, morphological errors like verb tense, and lexical errors like word choice. Questionnaires on learners' linguistic profiles were also used. Statistical analysis found correlations between error types and profiles. The study aims to help teachers provide better feedback to learners based on their individual linguistic needs.When it comes to ELT, what makes a worthwhile performance?

Narrowing Down a Research Topic
This document outlines a three step process for narrowing down a research topic. The first step is to select an initial topic of interest and identify an indirect question that reveals a problem within that topic area. For example, the author expresses interest in learning more about teacher feedback and wants to understand when it allows students to feel more confident speaking a second language with peers. The second step is to explain why this topic is being explored in order to answer a "bigger question."
