A NEW METHOD OF TEACHING FIGURATIVE EXPRESSIONS TOIRANIAN LANGUAGE LEARNERScscpconf
In teaching languages, if we only consider direct relationship between form and meaning in language and leave psycholinguistic aside, this approach is not a successful practice and language learners won't be able to make a successful relation in the real contexts. The present study intends to answer this question: is the teaching method in which salient meaning is taught more successful than the method in which literal or figurative meaning is taught or not? To answer the research question, 30 students were selected. Every ten people are formed as a group and three such groups were formed. Twenty figurative expressions were taught to every group. Group one was taught the figurative meaning of every expression. Group two was taught the literal meaning and group three was taught the salient meaning. Then three groups were tested. After analyzing data, we concluded that there was a significant difference in mean grades between classes and the class trained under graded salience hypothesis was more successful. This shows that traditional teaching methods must be revised.

The research topic aimed to analyze and investigate teaching English pronunciation of Spanish speakers. In this regard, thorough understanding and analysis of speech sounds, phonetics, speech organs, consonants, vowels, and voiced and non-voiced notes were discussed in a critical manner. The introduction presented the aim, objectives, and research questions along with explaining the rationale of the research topic and determining the scope of the research. The rationale for the research topic was found in the form of importance of learning correct ways of pronunciation especially for non-English speakers. The literature review discussed about the speech sounds, vowels, consonants, speech organs, and production of sounds in a critical manner. The literature review served the purpose of dealing with the research topic in an in-depth manner. It was found that the correct pronunciation is dependent on positioning of tongue and lips and also the movement of air within and outside the mouth and nose. The literature review added great deal of value in this research. The research methodology explained the reason behind selecting the anti-positivism research philosophy and inductive research approach along with the use of questions and graphics for enhancing the pronunciation of students in a well-planned manner. It explained the methodology used in analyzing the major outcomes of the research. The proposed framework explained the framework used in enhancing the pronunciation of students. The conclusion and recommendation concluded that enhancing English pronunciation requires continuous effort along with proper understanding over the production of speech sounds, sound movement, and vowels and consonants production and pronunciation

Abstract
The Stroop effect is a phenomenon in cognitive psychology with numerous applications. This phenomenon occurs when an individual is given a task of identifying the color of a word rather the word itself. The concept behind this experiment is simplified although the reaction time when there is a mismatch in the color and word represents an integral study in cognitive psychology. The basic operation of the Stroop effect is to relatively measure the concentration and power of the mind. It would be easier for an individual to name the color of a word in a similar color. This means that a normal mind finds it simpler to name a color with matching sematic meaning in wording. Generally, Stroop effect measures the correlation between interference and reaction time. The first development of the Stroop effect was demonstrated in 1935 by an American psychologist named John Ridley Stroop. From his original experiment, different psychological hypothesis have been drawn. Topping to this is the development of numerous articles explaining, experimenting or expounding on this effect. The articles have been strongly based on Stroop’s original effect although different researchers have replicated his effect.
The initial experiment has been discussed in many psychological classes. Researchers in the field of experimental psychology have cited the original paper in their various studies. The application of Stroop effect in clinical practice has aided in finding treatment for patients with psychological disorders. The Stroop effect is also imperative in investigations since it acts as a feasible psychological test. Experimental findings from different tests reveal stimuli reaction due to sematic interference and sematic facilitation. Stroop conceptual framework secludes three stimuli groups (incongruent, neutral and congruent).The stimuli are used during all experiments to draw conclusions. The Stroop effect is processes within two parts of the brain; the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the anterior cingulate cortex. Results from reaction to stimuli in the two brain parts are explained using a number of theories namely; selective attention, processing speed, parallel distributed processing and automacity. The Stroop effect has been a milestone in collating cognitive development with other variables viz. working memory and processing speed. Researchers have published modified Stroop tests in bilingualism. In this field, wrapped words, reverse tests and spatial tests have all been applied.
Introduction
Macleod empties Stroop effect as one of the most popular study in cognitive science and psychology. In its basic application, the test entails ignoring a printed word then naming the color of the word. Basically naming the color printed in a word such as BLUE is surrounded by many cognitive properties. Automacity was introduced in 1886 since it is easier to read word as c.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

1. Abstract
The current study aims to assess the existing relationship between collocations and mental storage of lexicons. Word association test has been
applied to demonstrate the aforementioned relationship. In this test, investigating the first word which comes to a listener’s mind, after hearing a
vocabulary, is of considerable importance. To achieve the goal of the research, 20 subjective and objective vocabularies have been distributed
between 100 B. A. students (male and female). Then, relationships between all lexical stimuli and responses have been appraised. The obtained
findings indicate that lexical storage systems of different people have some features in common. Moreover, lexical sense relations can stimulate
the listeners’ minds to remember some signs from their long-term memory. In this study, the signs have been categorized into different groups
and it has been concluded that there is no big difference between responses of objective and subjective stimuli.

Introduction
Psycholinguistics is a science which
examines the relationship between language
and mind. In fact, psycholinguistics is the
knowledge of comprehension, production, and
acquisition of language.
Psycholinguists have proposed some ideas
apropos of lexical relations and models of
comprehension, storage and retrieval. Modular
model is one of the suggested models, and
word association test is an approach of storage
and access to the lexicons of the same field.
Word Association Test
Word association test is one of the oldest tests
of mental function which has been applied by
psychologists to assess lexical sense relations.
Word association means stimulation of an
associative pattern by a word. It has been
invented by Sir Francis Galton who thought
there might be a link between a person’s
intelligence quotient and word associations.
In a typical word association test, researchers
try to find the existing relationships between
words. They ask different subjects to respond
to a stimulus word with the first word that
comes to mind.
The first word coming to mind is of more
importance than other words, since they may
be affected by the second word; mention must
be made though that the first word which
comes to mind cannot be also a perfect tool of
measurement, because no one’s mind is empty
of presuppositions and backgrounds. But
considering the achieved results of word
association test, we can compare a
participant’s answers and obtain some useful
findings.
The findings of word association tests can
clarify different aspects of human minds.
Participants’ answers can be categorized in the
following manner: 1. answers which are on the
paradigmatic axis such as oppositions,
hyponyms, and omnibus words 2. answers
which can be considered on syntagmatic axis 3.
harmonic words such as use and abuse, or
normal and formal

Results and Conclusion
Collocations are closely associated with
semantics and lexicography, mind, and
cognitive sciences. The widespread
researches in this field can be an indicative of
its significance. The findings of different
researches demonstrate that only individual
vocabulary’s meaning cannot determine a
collocation, so there are some other effective
criteria in determining lexical collocations and
linguistics cannot impose restrictions on
them, although they are going to be fixed by
the high frequency of their application in
different works. The obtained findings
indicate that lexical storage systems of
different people have some features in
common. Moreover, lexical sense relations
can stimulate the listeners’ minds to
remember some signs from their long-term
memory.
According to what mentioned before, the
meaning of words is the determining factor in
all collocations and a word is often collocated
with the words which have something in
common with it. When collocating two words
we should consider semantic relations of
each individual word to avoid damaging the
rationalization behind the criteria in making
expressions.
It has been concluded that there is no big
difference between responses of objective
and subjective stimuli and lexical storage
system is strongly dependent upon sense
relations. In addition, these sense relations
are not fixed and constant; therefore,
language speakers can radically alter them on
the basis of their mental conceptions.
Review of literature
According to Sinopalnikova (2003), the
simplest experimental technique to reveal
the association mechanism is a free
association test (FAT). In FATs, a list of
words (stimuli) is presented to subjects
(either written or orally), which are asked
to respond with the first word that comes
into their mind (responses), and FAT
gives the broadest information on the way
knowledge is structured in the human
mind. The results of FAT series reported
in a form of tables, was given the name
Word Association Norms (WAN). Word
Association Thesaurus (WAT) is a more
developed form of WAN because it
includes several thousands of stimuli.
One of the most striking results of word
association studies was summarized by
him as follows: second language learners
produce associations that are much more
diverse and unstable; often their
responses are based on purely
phonological, rather than semantic, links
with the stimulus words (ibid: 358).
“Word Association Test”, which was
invented by F. Galton, was widely used in
psychology by psychiatrists such as C.
Jung, G. H. Kent and A. J. Rosanoff. Kent
& Rosanoff’s study was the first large
scale study which was carried out in
English with 1,000 men and women. They
used 100 probe words and read one word
at a time to a person who was to give the
first word that came into his/her mind.
After analysing the data, they claimed that
there was uniformity in the organization
of associations and people shared stable
networks of connections among words.

Method
The present study has been administered
to test 60 words (15 abstract and 45
concrete words) which have been given to
60 participants (30 male and 30 female
students, between 19 and 22 years old).
The participants have been asked to write
just the first word coming to their mind in
at most five minutes.
Due to the large number of words and
participants’ tiredness, the last 10 or 20
unanswered items have not been
considered. 55 words have been content
words and 15 ones have been function
words (two conjunctions, two interrogative
words, one degree adverb and one time
adverb).
