Authors: Johan Arif Bintoro , Mutohhari Farid , Hadi Samsul , Rabiman Rabiman , Widodo Widodo , Khaharsyah Alfat
Published: December 2024

Work development in the 21st century requires new multiple intelligence qualifications for vocational education (VE) to face it. This research reveals a new multiple intelligence qualification along with its application procedures and assessment aspects for VE. Industry practitioners and higher vocational education were involved in exploring data related to the topic in this research. Data collection on practitioners was carried out in two stages, starting with interviews and continuing with Focus Group Discussions. The transcribed data was then explained and interpreted using NVivo 12 plus. Four multiple intelligences are essential to industry practitioners and higher vocational education, namely interpersonal, intrapersonal, logistical, and naturalistic intelligence. Building these four multiple intelligences requires infrastructure support that is dominated by digital infrastructure, emphasis on the role of responsibility for the subjects involved in learning, increasing the readiness of teachers and students before learning, and determining learning strategies to encourage independence in students to explore in depth about what should be done achieved. These new intelligences are assessed based on three main aspects: self-assessment methods, peer assessment and meaningful project assessment. These findings are essential recommendations for education and learning administrators in VE to implement the four new multiple intelligences optimally and according to current work needs

Toxicological encounters in Papua New Guinea
Authors: Richens John
Published: December 2024

A selection of toxicological incidents encountered by the author in Papua New Guinea during the 1980s is presented.  Toxins related to lifestyle include Clostridium perfringens Type B toxin, the cause of pigbel (a necrotizing enteritis of children),  an unidentified toxin in spoiled sago causing acute intravascular haemolysis and accidental carbon monoxide poisoning arising in a vehicle with leaking exhaust.  Two contrasting causes of paralysis are discussed: hypokalaemic periodic paralysis, induced by carbohydrate overload, and neurotoxic envenomation caused by the Papuan death adder. Self inflicted poisonings include suicide attempts with paraquat and battery acid and a mass poisoning incident caused by consumption of a methanol-isopropanol mixture at a party.  Also discussed are a drug-induced oculogyric crisis in a patient developing hepatitis A and a mysterious dilated pupil contracted by the author, possibly from a trumpet flower.
A Conceptual Model of Dysphagia in Older Adults
Authors: Affoo Rebecca H. , Namasivayam-MacDonald Ashwini
Published: December 2024

A conceptual model was developed to create a basis for understanding the risk factors and outcomes associated with dysphagia and to hypothesize the nature of the relationship between certain factors. The conceptual model was developed by two academic speech-language pathologists with ≥10 years research and clinical experience in swallowing and dysphagia in older adults. A comprehensive review of English-language literature was conducted, and relevant, evidence-informed factors associated with dysphagia in older adults were identified. The synthesis of clinical expertise and theoretical underpinnings complemented the literature review, incorporating the socio-ecological model. Discussion and brainstorming of the identified factors and their potential and/or proven relationships with dysphagia were conducted. All the factors identified were initially organized using a thematic approach, then were further structured into overarching categories, guided by the inherent relationships between the factors. The arrangement of the conceptual model framework was undertaken once these categories had been optimized, and consensus had been achieved among the authors with support from the literature. Factors were identified to increase the risk of dysphagia, be an outcome of dysphagia, or both. The conceptual model illustrates the complex multifactorial relationship between dysphagia and individual, relationship, community, and societal factors. The proposed conceptual model improves our understanding of the risk factors and outcomes associated with dysphagia in older adults. Future work should focus on empirically testing the relationships among the factors presented, so the model can ultimately be used by members of the dysphagia community to target modifiable risk factors for dysphagia, as well as identify effective treatments that optimize overall patient well-being.

Published: December 2024

Background

Singapore’s large aging population poses significant challenges for the health care system in managing cognitive decline, underscoring the importance of identifying and implementing effective interventions. Cognitive training delivered remotely as a digital therapeutic (DTx) may serve as a scalable and accessible approach to overcoming these challenges. While previous studies indicate the potential of cognitive training as a promising solution for managing cognitive decline, understanding the attitudes and experiences of older adults toward using such DTx platforms remains relatively unexplored.

Objective

This study aimed to characterize the general acceptability and user experience of CURATE.DTx, a multitasking-based DTx platform that challenges the cognitive domains of attention, problem-solving, and executive function in the Singaporean older adult population.

Methods

A total of 15 older adult participants (mean age 66.1, SD 3.5 years) were recruited for a 90-minute in-person session. This session included a 30-minute playtest of CURATE.DTx, followed by a 60-minute semistructured interview to understand their overall attitudes, experience, motivation, and views of the intervention. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim, then analyzed using an inductive approach. Thematic analysis was used to identify emerging patterns and insights.

Results

A total of 3 main themes, and their respective subthemes, emerged from the interviews: comprehension, with subthemes of instruction and task comprehension; acceptability, with subthemes of tablet usability, engagement and enjoyment, and attitude and perceived benefits; and facilitators to adoption, with subthemes of framing and aesthetics, motivation recommendations and the role of medical professionals. Our findings revealed that participants encountered some challenges with understanding certain elements of CURATE.DTx. Nevertheless, they were still highly engaged with it, finding the challenge to be enjoyable. Participants also showed a strong awareness of the importance of cognitive training and expressed a keen interest in using CURATE.DTx for this purpose, especially if recommended by medical professionals.

Conclusions

Given the positive engagement and feedback obtained from Singaporean older adults on CURATE.DTx, this study can serve as a basis for future platform iterations and strategies that should be considered during implementation. Future studies should continue implementing an iterative codesign approach to ensure the broader applicability and effectiveness of interventions tailored to this demographic.

IOT: Smart Home for Aged
Authors: Ramanjaneylu V. Venkata
Published: December 2024

In the rapidly advancing digital age, the elderly population often faces challenges adapting to modern smart home
technologies, which can limit their independence and safety. These challenges are even more pronounced for individuals with
sensory impairments, such as those who are deaf or hard of hearing. To address these issues, this project proposes an IoTEnabled Smart Home System tailored for aged individuals, integrating innovative solutions that enhance accessibility,
convenience, and safety. The system leverages Internet of Things (IoT) technology to create a connected ecosystem of devices
that automate daily tasks and provide personalized assistance. Key features include a smart doorbell system that replaces
traditional sound-based alerts with alternative sensory notifications like vibrations or light signals, ensuring accessibility for
hearing-impaired users. Additionally, the system integrates health monitoring sensors, automated lighting, and cloud-based
connectivity to enable real-time remotemanagement by caregivers or family members. By using a cloud-based control network,
IoT devices, and user-friendly interfaces, the smart home enhances the quality of life for elderly users by improving safety,
promoting independence, and reducing caregiver burden. This innovative approach demonstrates the potential of IoT to
transform traditional homes into inclusive environments that cater specifically to the needs of the aging population, offering a
scalable and impactful solution for modern smart living.
Global Impact of Antibiotic Resistance
Authors: Lonare Prathamesh Rajendra
Published: December 2024

Antibiotic resistance (AMR) is a growing global health crisis that poses a significant threat to public health,
economies, and healthcare systems worldwide. The emergence of resistant bacteria, fungi, and viruses has been driven by the
overuse and misuse of antibiotics in human medicine, agriculture, and animal farming. AMR reduces the effectiveness of
treatment options, leading to longer hospital stays, increased medical costs, and higher mortality rates. Furthermore, infections
caused by resistant pathogens are becoming harder to treat, complicating efforts to combat common diseases such as
pneumonia, tuberculosis, and urinary tract infections. The global impact of antibiotic resistance is not limited to individual
countries; it is a cross-border issue that requires international cooperation and a multifaceted approach, involving surveillance,
regulation, and public awareness campaigns. Low- and middle-income countries, where access to antibiotics is often
unregulated, face the highest risks. In addition to human health, the economic toll of AMR is severe, with global estimates
suggesting that antibiotic resistance could lead to a reduction in global GDP by up to 3.5% by 2050. Combating AMR requires
urgent action from governments, healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, and the public to implement better
stewardship practices, invest in research and development of new antibiotics, and adopt preventative measures. A united global
response is essential to mitigate the long-term consequences of this silent pandemic.

State preparation by shallow circuits using feed forward
Authors: Buhrman Harry , Folkertsma Marten , Loff Bruno , Neumann Niels M. P.
Published: December 2024

Fault tolerant quantum computers repetitively apply a four-step procedure: First, perform a few one and two-qubit quantum gates. Second, perform a syndrome measurement on a subset of the qubits. Third, perform fast classical computations to establish if and where errors occurred. And, fourth, correct the errors with a correction step. The next iteration applies the same procedure with new one and two-qubit gates. Even though current error-rates prohibit this procedure to work and fault tolerant quantum computing remains a distant goal, the same procedure can already prove useful today. In this work we make use of this four-step scheme not to carry out fault-tolerant computations, but to enhance short, constant-depth, quantum circuits that perform 1 qubit gates and nearest−neighbor 2 qubit gates.We introduce a new computational model called Local Alternating Quantum Classical Computations(LAQCC). In this model, qubits are placed in a grid and they can only interact with their direct neighbors; the quantum circuits are of constant depth with intermediate measurements; a classical controller can perform log-depth computations on these intermediate measurement outcomes and control future quantum operations based on the outcome. This model fits naturally between quantum algorithms in the NISQ era and full-fledged fault-tolerant quantum computation. We first prove that any Clifford circuit has an equivalent LAQCC circuit, and that any LAQCC circuit can be simulated by a QNC1circuit. Next, we conjecture the non-simulatability of LAQCC by showing that LAQCC contains the class of Instantaneous Quantum Polynomial-time circuits. We also show that any LAQCC circuit with polynomial-sized quantum circuits and unbounded classical computations is contained in the class of quantum circuits equipped with post-selection gates with respect to the task of state preparation. We continue by presenting LAQCC implementations of different subroutines, including OR-gates, quantum Fourier transforms and Threshold gates. These subroutines prove vital in constructing three state preparation routines in the main part of this work. Preparing a uniform superposition uses constant-depth arithmetic gates, combined with an exact Grover implementation by Long. For the W-state, we employ a compress-uncompress method to switch between a binary and one-hot encoding. This method extends to the more generalized Dicke-states, the superposition of n-bit strings of Hamming weight k, for k=O(n), but fails for higher k due to the birthday paradox. We extend this protocol to a protocol that prepares many-body scar states, highly excited states with low entanglement and longer coherence times than states with the same energy density. We present a circuit for preparing Dicke-states for larger k requiring log-depth circuits that maps between the factoradic number system and the combinatorial number system.
Metamodern in Indonesian Literature: A Night of 1,000 Traitors by Intan Paramaditha (2023)
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Frolova Marina V.
Published: December 2024

Looking at contemporary Indonesian literature through the lenses of the novel A Night of 1,000 Traitors by Intan Paramaditha (2023), one can explore the further development of so-called late postmodernism. The novel demonstrates a comeback of forms, techniques, and aspirations inherent in realism, modernism, and postmodernism at the same time. According to the metamodern theory, meta- means the simultaneous presence of these elements in contemporary art. The novel is a post-deconstruction, redeconstruction of the national culture, and rehabilitation of metanarratives (mythology and traditional Islam Nusantara). Postmodern autobiography, or autofiction, focuses on women’s destinies and relationships of the characters with patriarchy, colonialism, and Islam. The novel’s structure is logical and overcomes postmodern rhizome, and the images and symbols have clear referents. The novel continuously quotes the grand style of a European gothic novel but uses realistic narrative techniques that reveal hidden irony: reading of the novel oscillates between the poles of seriousness and non-seriousness, and the mystical plot calls into question the very realism of the novel, which makes it possible to determine the writing method as “postmodernist realism.”
Ahead of Leo Tolstoy: Tolstoy’s Themes and Tolstoy’s “Tone” in the Early Prose of Ivan Bunin
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ponomarev Evgeny R. ,   Russian Christian Academy for Humanities
Published: December 2024

Many researchers, including the author of this article, repeatedly examine the influence of Leo Tolstoy on Ivan Bunin’s works. The article significantly expands the traditional view, for the first time including within the sphere of this influence Bunin’s earliest prose, starting with the first two published stories. The research demonstrates the process of “being ahead of Tolstoy”: it means that Bunin writes stories on some characteristically Tolstoy’s topics a little earlier than Tolstoy himself and then reads with delight what Tolstoy wrote on the same matter. “Being ahead” represents a crucial moment in Bunin’s awareness of his creative affinity with Tolstoy. The second part of the article examines Bunin’s use of Tolstoy’s “tone” in some of his works, as well as the use of Tolstoy’s theme and the theme of Tolstoyism in early stories as a technique for actualizing dialogues, as well as a moral assessment of characters. The article demonstrates that Tolstoy’s influence on Bunin’s prose began with the first opuses and continued throughout all his early work.
The Obvious and Illusory “Trace” of Saadi in Ivan Bunin’s Poetry (Source Studies Aspect)
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Bakuntsev Anton V.
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the identification and analysis of publications in which Ivan Bunin drew literary material for the poems “The Skull” (1907), “The Persian Wisdom” (1913), “The Testament of Saadi” (1913), which are still considered translations of excerpts from Saadi’s books “Bustan” (1257) and “Gulistan” (1258). The research uses the principle of historicism and the method of comparative analysis. The article demonstrates that: 1) when writing his poems, Bunin worked not only with classical ones that appeared by the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries translations of Saadi’s books into Russian and the main European languages but also with relevant scientific and popular science literature; 2) the listed Bunin’s poems are not translations, but paraphrases of individual passages from “Bustan” and “Gulistan”; 3) in these poems, Saadi’s parables and maxims have undergone quite significant creative processing; 4) the poems “The Throne of Solomon” (1907) and “The Law” (1907), attributed by some researchers to Bunin’s works, in which it is also possible to “highlight the ‘trace’ of Saadi” (the expression by R.M. Safiulina), are based only on the texts of the Koran.
The Influence of the “Russian Nihilistic Novel” on French Thought in 1870s–1890s: Critical Reception
Authors:   National Research University Higher School of Economics, Balakireva Margarita E. ,   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: December 2024

The article discusses the reception of Russian nihilism in French thought during the 1870s and 1890s. During this time, there was a surge in interest in Russian literature in France, leading to the emergence of codes, images, and narratives related to Russian culture in France’s intellectual sphere. Among these, “Russian nihilism” and the “Russian novel” stood out. The article examines the history of Russian novels published during this period, as well as the reception of nihilism and Russian novels in critical French thought. It compares the concept of the “Russian novel,” as described by E.M. de Vogüé, with that of the novel of Russian nihilism, as described by F. Brunetière. The article discusses the contrast between two interpretations of the Russian novel in France, highlighting the complexity of its institutionalization. It oscillates between the “European” (naturalistic novel) and “oriental” (exotic novel) models, reflecting the different perceptions of Russian literature by French readers. The article also explores how the popularity of Russian novels was shaped by France’s colonial policies in the 19th century and how this led to a reflection on French political and social identity through the lens of literature.
“…Nikon Got Up and Walked Across Red Square to Ilyinka Again”: Historical Sources of L. N. Tolstoy’s Notes About Patriarch Nikon in the Materials for
Authors:   A. M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kovaleva Galina N.
Published: December 2024

The article examines five Tolstoy recordings dedicated to Patriarch Nikon, which are part of the preparatory materials for the unfinished “Novel from the Time of Peter I,” and the historical sources of four recordings from these materials. The author introduces information about the factual sources of the three records into scientific circulation. The article considers the source of one entry, previously established by P. S. Popov, along with newly identified sources. Established historical record sources Tolstoy’s stories about Patriarch Nikon reveal the meaning of Tolstoy’s laconic extracts from historical writings; they allow us to find out which actual events from the life of Patriarch Nikon and his supporters and opponents were selected by the writer for the documentary basis of the fictional novel. The identified sources expand the understanding of the novel’s concept, its documentary basis, and the possible range of actors; they allow us to detect traces of the writer’s creative work with historical material; they supplement the list of previously identified sources of Tolstoy’s recordings with new titles.
The Ideas of the Development of the Russian Navy in the Marinistic Trilogy by A. E. Konkevich
Authors:   Saint-Petersburg State University, Proskurina Vera L.
Published: December 2024

This article attempts to introduce the literary heritage of A. E. Konkevich, who is known mostly as a naval officer and public figure, into scientific circulation. However, the author’s artistic marine painting is of interest both from a historical point of view and from a literary one. Naval officer Konkevich, who dreamed of the ideal structure of the Russian Navy, not only sets out his fantasies about the composition and localization of the fleet but also puts them into artistic form. The article examines Konkevich’ s novels “Cruiser ʽRussian Hope’,” “Fatal War 18?? Year,” “Black Sea Fleet in ???? Year,” representing a trilogy about naval wars. In these works, Konkevich reveals the discussions relevant to the second half of the 19th century about the organization of the Russian Navy. The writer in a fantastic form sets out the ways of development of the Russian navy and ways of reforming it, and reviving the strength of the Russian navy and army. The author creates expressive pictures of the battle and hyperbolically contrasts the moral strength and courage of Russian sailors with the technical capabilities of the enemy and the helplessness of his crew.
Zoilus Versus Rifmokrad: About Literary Relations Between I. A. Krylov and Ya. B. Knyazhnin
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Afanasyeva Natalya S.
Published: December 2024

The article examines the “literary behavior” of I. A. Krylov in relation to the famous playwright Ya. B. Knyazhnin and the image of a mediocre plagiarist Rifmokrad (Rhyme Thief) in the comedy “Pranksters” (1788). This character, who surprisingly closely resembled Knyazhnin, later appeared in Krylov’s “Mail of Spirits” (1789) and then in the “Spectator” journal, which was published after Knyazhnin’s death. On the one hand, Krylov’s attitude towards Knyazhnin directly reflects the confrontation between two literary circles that arose within the Sumarokov school, i. e., between Knyazhnin and Nikolev. It is not by chance that Krylov chooses Nikolev’s comedy “The Proud Poet” (1775) as a model for his “Pranksters.” On the other hand, Krylov also makes a literary attack against Knyazhnin in his journals, which continue the tradition of moralistic journals in the spirit of N. I. Novikov.
An Unknown Response to the Demise of Emperor Alexander III: A Letter from Archimandrite Nikon (Rozhdestvensky) to S. A. Rachinsky
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkin House) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Fetisenko Olga L.
Published: December 2024

The article introduces hitherto unknown archival material from еру Manuscript Department of the Russian National Library, which relates to the early responses of contemporaries to the death of Emperor Alexander III and the accession of his son to the throne. The researcher publishes a full letter from Archimandrite (later Archbishop) Nikon (Rozhdestvensky) to the famous teacher Rachinsky. Quotes from letters from other persons (O. A. Novikova, N. M. Gorbov, V. N. Lyaskovsky), as well as an unpublished poem dedicated to the arrival in Russia of the future Empress Alexandra Feodorovna with its theme of farewell to the dying sovereign, supplement it. The author of the article restores the history of the relationship between Archimandrite Nikon and Rachinsky, focusing on the episode of 1895 when the priest supported the teacher on the pages of the newspaper. The article characterizes Nikon’s letter as a valuable church-historical and literary source.
Non-Novel Goncharov: Review of a New Book About I. A. Goncharov’s Poetics
Authors:   Saratov State Law Academy, Pyrkov Ivan V. , Zolotova Tatiana A. ,   Mari State University
Published: December 2024

The article presents a review of the monograph by Goncharov scholar G. G. Bagautdinova, dedicated to the poetics of the non-novel prose of I. A. Goncharov. Considering the little-studied side of Goncharov’s legacy through the prism of the “framework text,” the author of the monograph characterizes in detail such dominant components of Goncharov’s non-novel poetics as “cumulativeness,” interpreted by the commentator in the mainstream of folklorism, “ornamentality,” understood as the geometry of rhetorical figures, and the rhythm of prose as a beginning that unites all artistic components. The review pays special attention to new approaches to the interpretation of I. A. Goncharov’s poetics, carried out by the researcher on a wide range of textual material, and analyzes the range of questions posed in the study and the scientific effectiveness of addressing them as well as the structure of the monograph.
Moscow and Napoleon in the Novel “Eugene Onegin”: Correlation of Meanings
Authors:   A. M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Gulin Alexander V.
Published: December 2024

The article examines the “Napoleonic” stanza XXXVII from the Seventh Chapter of the novel “Eugene Onegin” in the context of poetics, problematics, and the spiritual ideal of the work. Pushkin’s analogy of the figurative pairs “Napoleon — Moscow” and “Onegin — Tatiana” appears the most important and meaningful. The research demonstrates that mentioning the only historical person in the novel acting in a concrete historical situation is extraordinary for the artistic system of “Eugene Onegin” and largely organizes Pushkin’s hierarchy of meanings. The article reveals the place of the lyrical digression from the novel among Pushkin’s numerous insights into the mystery of Napoleon’s personality. The involvement of historical materials from 1812 helps to disclose the comprehensive poetic formula of “generous fire” from earlier Pushkin’s works. The fire of Moscow and Tatiana’s sacrifice are seen as the realization and victory of Christian life values. Pushkin’s description of the historical event and the final explanation of Onegin and Tatiana reveals a profound unity of the national spiritual code, rejecting the Napoleonic principle of life and eternally triumphant over the world turmoil.

Authors: Kryucheva Yana , Tolstoukhova Irina
Published: December 2024

O objetivo do estudo foi investigar a formação das motivações de realização e de evitação do fracasso entre estudantes da educação profissional, buscando compreender como essas motivações influenciam o sucesso acadêmico e o desenvolvimento pessoal. A motivação de realização, voltada para o desejo de alcançar o sucesso, foi comparada com a motivação de se evitar o fracasso, na qual as ações são direcionadas para a tentativa de prevenir erros. A pesquisa utilizou métodos como levantamentos de dados, análises de correlação e diagnósticos de personalidade para identificar os fatores motivacionais e sua relação com os níveis de ansiedade. Os resultados mostram que a motivação de realização se intensifica nos últimos anos de estudo, especialmente entre o terceiro e o quarto ano, devido ao maior envolvimento em disciplinas especializadas e trajetórias profissionais mais definidas. Além disso, estudantes com altos níveis de motivação frequentemente experimentam ansiedade elevada, sugerindo uma relação complexa entre motivação e bem-estar psicológico.
The Characteristics and Implications of the French Educational Administration System and the Superintendent(Recteur d’Académie) System
Authors:   The Korean Society for the Study of Local Education Management, Park Sang-wan , Rah Min Joo
Published: December 2024

This study aims to analyze the key characteristics of the French educational administration system and the superintendent(recteur d’académie) system, and to explore the implications for improving the system in Korea. For this purpose, the study primarily utilized a literature analysis method, collecting and analyzing French government documents, European Union reports, and academic papers. The analysis yielded the following results: First, the French local education administration system ensures the unity and consistency of national education by harmonizing centralization and decentralization through a dual administrative structure that vertically distributes responsibilities between central and local governments and horizontally divides roles among local entities. Second, the title and role of the the French superintendent of education(recteur d’académie), the highest authority of the academy (académie) were established by the decree of 1854. Third, the recteur d’académie holds a dual status, within the academy as both the representative of the central government and the highest authority of the academy, overseeing all levels of education from early childhood to higher education. Fourth, a requirement for the appointment of the French superintendent is the highest academic degree in higher education, known as the 'habilitation' (qualification to supervise doctoral research), although a certain percentage of exceptions are permitted. Fifth, the recteur is a high-ranking public official appointed by the president upon the recommendation of the Minister of Education.

Published: December 2024

In recent government policy directions aimed at promoting lifelong education, collaboration and cooperation have become an important focal point in the field of lifelong education. Concurrently, the importance of evaluation to manage the quality of collaborative lifelong education initiatives has increased. Accordingly, this study aimed to develop evaluation criteria for lifelong education collaborative cooperation project and verify their validity. Initially, preliminary evaluation domains and criteria were drafted through a literature review, followed by expert opinion surveys to refine the draft. Subsequently, two rounds of Delphi surveys were conducted to revise and adjust the criteria, ultimately establishing the validity of 11 evaluation domains and 25 criteria. This study holds significance in its attempt to provide an operational definition and clarify the categories of lifelong education collaborative cooperation projects, distinguishing them as project units rather than merely as implementation methods. Based on these findings, the study suggests further research on developing specific evaluation indicators and systems for lifelong education collaborative cooperation projects.

This study aims to understand students' perceptions of lectures based on university lecture evaluation results and to analyze the correlation between differences in these perceptions depending on whether the average lecture evaluation scores are high or low, with the overarching goal of improving lecture quality. We employ Structural Topic Modeling (STM) for our analysis, and the findings are as follows. First, seven topics were extracted from our topic modeling: the professor's characteristics, satisfaction with the lecture, the professor's attitude toward the lecture, teaching methods, the difficulty level(complexity) of the lecture content, the pace of the lecture, and class evaluation. Second, there was a clear difference between topics in the higher and lower ranges of lectures evaluation scores. We found that the topics of "the professor's attitude toward the lecture" and "the difficulty level of the lecture content" were most strongly associated with other topics.
In short, students in the business programs in our data evaluate lectures based primarily on 'teaching factors'. Thus, instructors teaching business courses should carefully reflect on ways to improve course-related aspects in their teaching. Additionally, for effective course quality management, professors should assess and improve the extent to which they are systematically organizing and preparing course designs in relation to the clarity of their content delivery, the degree of interest they express in their students, the organization of their teaching methods and lecture pace, and lecture evaluations.

Lipedema is a lipodystrophic disease that is typically characterized by a marked increase in lower-body subcutaneous adipose tissue that is purported to have increased inflammation and fibrosis, impaired microvascular/lymphatic circulation and to be resistant to reduction by weight loss therapy. However, these outcomes have not been adequately studied. We evaluated body composition, insulin sensitivity, metabolic health and adipose tissue biology in women with obesity and lipedema (Obese-LIP) before and after moderate (~9%) diet-induced weight loss. At baseline, people with Obese-LIP had ~23% greater leg fat mass, ~11% lower android-to-gynoid ratio and ~48% greater insulin sensitivity (all P<0.05) than women matched on age, BMI and whole-body adiposity. In Obese-LIP, macrophage content and expression of genes involved in inflammation and fibrosis were greater, whereas lymph/angiogenesis-related genes were lower in thigh than abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue. Weight loss improved insulin sensitivity and decreased total fat mass, with similar relative reductions in abdominal and leg fat masses, but without changes in markers of inflammation and fibrosis. These results demonstrate that affected adipose tissue in women with lipedema is characterized by increased inflammation and fibrogenesis, and alterations in lymphatic and vascular biology. Moderate diet-induced weight loss improves metabolic function and decreases lower-body adipose tissue mass.

Cu has a high infrared light reflectivity, which leads to the easy formation of defects such as pores in copper alloys during the laser cladding process. The purpose of this research is to reduce the porosity of tin bronze coatings during laser cladding by adding titanium elements with high infrared absorption. The porosity of the coating was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, metallographic microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, and x-ray diffraction. The research results indicate that as the content of titanium element increases, the porosity within the coating first decreases and then increases. When the titanium addition was 2%, the minimum porosity of the coating was 0.034%. The microhardness of the samples was tested using a semiautomatic Vickers hardness tester, and the reciprocating dry friction performance at room temperature was tested using a UMT-3 friction tester. The incorporation of titanium significantly enhances the microhardness and frictional properties of the laser-clad tin bronze coating. Therefore, this study provides experimental data support for controlling the porosity and frictional properties of laser-clad tin bronze coatings through elemental composition.
