Study of Average Hourly Variations of Radio Refractivity Variations across So...iosrjce
The results of the diurnal variation of refractivity based on measurement of atmospheric pressure,
temperature and relative humidity made across some selected locations within Nigeria, Yola (90
11' N, 120
30'
E), Anyigba (70
45' N, 60
45' E), Lagos (60
27' N, 50
12' E), and Port-Harcourt (40
48'N, 70E), is presented in this
study. The study utilized three years of meteorological data measured from January 2010 to December 2013
using Vantage Pro 2 automatic weather station installed at each location. The average hourly variations of
refractivity in the dry season is largely as a result of the variations of the wet component (humidity) while the
average daily variations of surface radio refractivity in the rainy season is as a result of both the variations of
the dry (pressure) and wet (humidity) component of surface radio refractivity. It also observed that the values of
surface radio refractivity showed seasonal variations with high value during rainy season and low values
during dry season with an increase in the value of surface radio refractivity from minimum value of about
242N-units at Anyigba station to maximum value of about 384-N units at Lagos station. The diurnal variation of
refractivity of the troposphere is a function of local meteorology as observed from results obtained from the
study.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
2. In order to ensure we satisfied our audience’s
expectations we carried out a pre-production
survey on the programme ‘Survey Monkey’,
which allowed us to successfully layout our
document and distribute it to receive a sufficient
amount.
3. The questions we asked in the ‘Genre
Survey’ were:
• What is your gender?
• What is your age?
• What genre was the last film you watched?
• What was the last genre of film you watched
at the cinema?
• What is your favourite type of genre?
• What is your least favourite type of genre?
• What is your favourite film?
4. The questions we asked in the context
survey were:
•What is your age?
•What is your gender?
•Does your film appeal to you more if you can
relate to it?
•When choosing a film what do you look for?
•Do you prefer stereotypical characters or non-
conventional characters?
•What time period do you like a film to be set in?
5. In our results we got 45% male responses and 55%
female responses, with the most popular age range
being 16-20, closely followed by 21-25.
The largest percentage on favourite type of genre
was Rom Com with 25% of people voting, however,
we chose not to produce a Rom Com due to the fact
that we believed that it would be too difficult to
present it in an accurate, realistic way.
6. We looked at the second most popular genre
which was 19% Thriller. This was not a huge
majority, however looking at the answers to the
question ‘What was the last genre of film you
watched at the cinema?’ Thriller was the most
popular. Due to the fact we want our film to go
to cinemas, we decided on a Thriller genre.
7. After our rough cut was improved with some of
the suggestions the audience members gave us.
We showed our film to 5 males and 5 females
and asked them questions at the end such as:
8. • ‘Was the genre and storyline clear?’
• ‘Would you pay to watch this film?’
• ‘Is this opening tense enough?’
• ‘Would you carry on watching the film?’
• ‘Have you got any improvements?
9. A mixture of responses were given back to us, mostly being
positive, however a few criticisms were made. These include:
The music being at the same sound level throughout. Taking
this on bored we used a tool on Serif Movie Plus X6, which
alters the loudness of the sound. I suggested that on the shots
where tension should be created, it was key to raise the sound
of the music.
The other improvement was that there needed to be a
variation (this was an unclear comment, however it became
clear that the male critic meant that it would be an
improvement if a variety of shots were used.) Taking this on
board, we added more close ups and extreme close up shots,
which in our research was a common convention of a Thriller
film.
10. These two criticisms made vast improvements
to our opening scene as a whole, and when
showing the same audience the final cut, they
all agreed that they would want to carry on
watching the film and that it was a lot better
than it was in the rough cut, which was
essential.
11. The fact that we used the target audience and
the secondary audience as our rough cut
audience was helpful as we were able to get
improvements from both audiences. Also the
fact that both audiences said that they would
pay to watch our film was very satisfying seeing
as we knew that the film appealed to more than
just our focus group.
12. The mise en scene of our film opening was
realistic. The setting being a normal middle class
house, was relatable for many of our rough cut
viewing members, but also would be relatable
to the audience members of the whole film.
13. The props and costume used in our opening
were stereotypical for a teenage girl- our target
audience. Some of these props include a pink
hair dryer, an iPhone 5S and a pair on pink
slippers. Seeing as most of our target audience
members would have all three of these props, it
was very obvious that they were able to relate
to our main character- Emily.
14. This easy relation was key for us seeing as this
would make the future events more affecting.
The area where we challenged the stereotype of
a thriller film was our lighting. Using high key
lighting instead of (a typical thriller film’s) low
key lighting, enabled a realistic atmosphere,
enabling, again, for the audience to relate the
character and the situation, making the future
events, again, more impactful.
15. One narrative theory: Propps’ (theorist) who
came up with 8 character types based on folk
tales and legends that he studied from different
countries. He found that they were all quite
similar and that they seemed to be about the
same basic problems and the same types of
character kept cropping up. He focused on the
way there seemed to be different ‘types’ of
characters rather than individuals. He
recognised 8 character types:
16. 1)The Hero who is on a quest. Usually male, is the agent who restores the narrative equilibrium often by embarking
upon a quest (or search). Propp distinguishes between the victim hero, who is the centre of the villain’s attentions, and
the seeker hero who aids others who are the villains victims. The hero is invariably the texts central character.
2)The Villain who opposes the hero, who usually creates the narrative disruption.
3)The Donor, who helps the hero by giving him a tool. It may be an object, information or advice, which helps in
resolution of the narrative.
4)The dispatcher, who starts the hero on his way, aids the hero in the task of restoring equilibrium
5)The false hero, who tempts the hero away from his quest
6)The helper, who helps the hero
7)The princess, who is the reward for the hero. (the victim) is usually the character most threatened by thevillain and
has to be saved, at the climax, by the hero. The father’s (who in fairy tales was often the king) role is usually to give the
princess away to the hero at the narrative’s conclusion. He may also despatch the hero.
8)Her Father, who rewards the hero for his efforts.
17. Due to the fact our characters related to some
of Propps’ theory, we thought we should use
these character types, we used number 2) who
is the stalker, and number 7) who is our victim-
Emily.
18. Strauss believed that the way we understand words depends not so much on
any meanings they themselves directly contain, but more by our
understanding between the word itself and their ‘opposite’- Binary Opposites.
An example of Binary Opposites is the understanding of the word ‘Villain’
depends on the difference between that word and the opposing word- ‘Hero’.
Many Thrillers include Binary Opposites, for example characters being ‘sane
or insane’ or ‘good or evil’. An example in films of ‘good or evil’ is in Harry
Potter, where Voldermort who is seen as ‘evil’ wants the ‘good’ character
Harry dead. This is a Binary Opposite, and these opposites are emphasised in
the way that they look- Harry looking like a normal teenage boy, and
Voldermort looking scary. This fits in with our film, with Emily being and
looking like a normal teenage girl, and the stalker wearing dark colours and
looking suspicious. The connection that both the ‘good’ characters are
teenagers is interesting, as a stereotype of a teenager is the fact they can be
naïve, which could suggest the fact that being ‘good’ makes you inferior the
‘evil’ character.
19. Roland Barthes’ Semantic Code (SEM), refers to the
connotation within the story that gives additional
meaning over the basic denotative meaning of the
word. The Symbolic code is very similar to the
Semantic Code, but acts at a wider level, organising
semantic meanings into broader and deeper sets of
meaning. The sign is an object that has no meaning,
for example the mobile phone. However, the
meaning it actually carries- the messages from the
stalker, signals the danger and obsession.
