Mathematical thinking is an act of sense-making and rest on the processes of generalizing, specializing, convincing and conjecturing. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of mathematical thinking students in primary schools and whether there is any difference in the level of mathematical thinking of students from different types of school. The data was collected from 516 Year 4 students which are from 7 primary schools in the state of Terengganu, Johor, Kedah and Federal Territory. Data were collected using a paper-and-pencil test that were directly administered to the sample. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Statistical software was used to compute the means (M) and corresponding standard deviations (sd). T-tests were also conducted to determine if there are any significant difference in the levels of mathematical thinking of the students according to the different types of schools.

This  study  examines whether  the  effect  of  oil  rent  on  economic  growth  in Nigeria  depends on the levels of corruption and the size of the underground economy (UE) over  the period 1990-2022. Relying on the Sachs-Warner resource‑curse theory, it employs the  autoregressive  distributed  lag  (ARDL)  approach,  as  well  as  the  fully  modified  ordinary  least  squares  (FMOLS),  canonical  cointegration  regression  (CCR),  and  dynamic OLS (DOLS) estimators. The estimation results show that oil rent contributes  positively to both short- and long-term growth, whereas reductions in corruption and  an expanding UE exert immediate and sustained negative effects on growth. Moreover,  the study  reveals  that  the impact  of  oil  rent  on growth varies  with  both  the  level  of  corruption and the size of the UE. Specifically, the marginal effect of oil rent on growth  is positive when corruption is low or the UE.....

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of upper body resistance training on muscle activation, psychophysiology and shooting performance among compound archers. This study involves a pre and post experimental design with experimental groups and control group. Thirty compound archers (Mean age = 19.0 _ 2.3 years) completed the whole study protocol. All parameters were measured at pre-intervention and post- intervention. Electromyography was used to measure muscle activation. Heart rate monitor was used to measure the physiological variable. The revised Competitive State Anxiety-2 was used to measure competitive state anxiety and shooting performance was assessed through the total scores of double 50 meters round. The results of Mixed factorial analysis of variance revealed a significant interaction between the experimental group and control group (p < 0.05) after the intervention for anconeus muscle and self-confidence. The experimental group was found (p = .02 < .05) for mus.....

The present study investigates whether it may be possible to use Vocabulary Levels Test (VLT) and Word Associates Test (WAT) for measuring language proficiency and placement purposes. In so doing, 85 upper-intermediate and 50 lower-intermediate EFL learners took Vocabulary Levels Test (VLT), Word Associates Test (WAT), and Oxford Placement Test (OPT). Results of correlation and regression analyses indicated that (a) Word Associates Test could not predict performance on Oxford Placement Test neither for the lower-intermediate nor the upper-intermediate group, (b) Vocabulary Levels Test could significantly predict performance on Oxford Placement Test for both proficiency groups, and (c) while the 2,000 word level correlated with and predicted performance on Oxford Placement Test for the lower-intermediate group, the 5,000 word level predicted performance on proficiency test for the upper-intermediate group. The findings point to the possibility of using VLT for measuring language profici.....
