Systematic study on the evaluation method of surface antibacterial activity based on the fluorescent observation of bacterial growth by Noriko Nakamura, Tatsuki Yamagishi, Wataru Nagata, Yuki Akahane, Hyemin Seo, Ayaka Otsuka, Daiki Hishikawa, Risa Yoshimoto, Nobuhiro Miyamae, Seiichi Ohta

“…The standard assessment procedure for antibacterial surfaces involves bacterial culture on a film-covered substrate followed by transfer onto agar for colony counting (ISO22196:2011). However, this assessment lacks temporal and spatial information regarding bacterial growth, resulting in an incomplete and inaccurate evaluation of the antibacterial activity of the surface. …”

The Effectiveness of a Behavioral Program in Reducing the Aggressive Behavior of Children with Mild Mental Disabilities at the Mu'tah Center for Special Education by Sameer Alremawi, Ahmed A. Arabiyat

“…The list of aggressive behavior was applied to the study sample in three stages: The first stage was a baseline (pre-test) and lasted a week, and the second stage was a stage after the completion of the application of the guidance program (post-test), where it lasted for six weeks, while the third stage was the (follow-up measurement) phase, which was carried out two months after stopping the implementation of the program, the repetitions of aggressive behavior were counted. The study used the Wilcoxon Matching Pairs Signed test to calculate the differences between the mean of the pre-test scores and the mean of the post/test scores. …”
