Do high energy-efficient buildings increase overheating risk in cold climates? Causes and mitigation measures required under recent and future climates by Mutasim Baba, Fuad

“…While without adequate ventilation, the overheating risk in high-energy-efficient buildings can be higher than old buildings, where decreasing wall and window U-values and infiltration rate has a greater contribution to the increase of indoor temperature, while decreasing window SHGC has a lower contribution to the decrease in indoor temperature compared to the case with adequate ventilation. …”

Gaining or Losing Team Ball Possession: The Dynamics of Momentum Perception and Strategic Choice in Football Coaches by Walid Briki (688845)

“…Nonetheless, both variables displayed asymmetrical effects, in the sense that: (1) the strength of positive PM appeared to be easier to decrease than to increase; and (2) the greater the positive PM (or the negative PM), the lesser (or the greater) the coaches’ tendency to make a change in the organization of their teams. …”

Teaching writing in secondary schools. (c2015) by Moufarrij, Najla-Maria Riad

“…The results were that the American Program is more of a motivating tool for the learners than the Lebanese Program whereby teachers find themselves free to manipulate the curriculum with innovative methods of teaching and learners find themselves free to express themselves as opposed to teachers and learners that are part of the Lebanese Program.…”
