TL;DR: This article found that phonemic manipula-tion accounted for the greatest amount of variance for both decoding and spelling for 75 begin-ning readers, while working memory and receptive vocabulary added additional unique variance for decoding.
Abstract: Performances on tasks of phonemic manipulation, working memory, rapid naming, multisyllable word naming, receptive vocabulary and nonverbal intelligence were compared with decoding and spelling scores for 75 begin-ning readers. Multiple regression analysis revealed that phonemic manipula-tion accounted for the greatest amount of variance for both decoding and spelling. Working memory and receptive vocabulary added additional unique variance for decoding. Multisyllable word naming and rapid naming contri-buted significantly to spelling. The major implication of the results is that phonemic manipulation should be included in an assessment battery for beginning readers.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the home-based WREP can improve overall fitness in older adults and was effective for improving endurance, functional strength, dynamic balance and agility, and flexibility.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of a home-based well-rounded exercise program (WREP) in older adults. Forty sedentary community-dwelling older adults were randomly assigned to an exercise group (n = 23; aged 62-80 yr, average: 69.2 ± 5.2; 12 men and 11 women) or a control group (n = 17; aged 63-85 yr, average: 70.1 ± 6.6; 5 men and 12 women). The exercise group performed a 12-wk WREP which included aerobic exercise (walking) on about 3 days·wk(-1) for 37 min·day(-1); elastic band-based resistance exercises for the major muscle groups on about 3 days·wk(-1) for 26 min; and flexibility exercises (stretching) on about 4 days·wk(-1) for 19 min·day(-1). General physical characteristics, functional strength (Arm Curl [AC], Chair Stand [CS]), dynamic balance and agility (Up & Go [UG]), flexibility (Back Scratch [BS], Sit & Reach [SR]), and endurance (12-min walk [12-MW]) were measured. Following the 12-wk home-based WREP, improvements were observed in AC, CS, UG, BS, SR and 12-MW for the exercise group but not for the control group. These results suggest that the home-based WREP can improve overall fitness in older adults. Key PointsWalking, elastic band exercise and stretching were prescribed as a Well-Rounded Exercise Program for older adults.By combining aerobic, resistance and flexibility exercises, a Well-Rounded Exercise Program was effective for improving endurance, functional strength, dynamic balance and agility, and flexibility.Community-based exercise classes motivated older adults to perform home-based exercises.

TL;DR: For instance, the authors found that questions constituted 15.6% of total turns by group members and were the most frequently occurring question type (89.2%), with a significant gender difference in only one of the five question types.
Abstract: Sixty minutes each of group discussions from 18 four- to seven-member decision-making groups were audiotaped and transcribed for analysis. Results indicated that questions constituted 15.6% of total turns by group members. Probes were the most frequently occurring question type (89.2%). There was a significant gender difference in only one of the five question types: Female group members asked significantly more probing questions than did their male counterparts. Implications of these findings are discussed.
