Published: December 2023

Background: Changes in lung structures persist in stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), but their correlation with the clinical picture remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to assess the stable COPD picture via the relationship between exhaled breath condensate (EBC) particle concentration and the Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), COPD Assessment Test (CAT), and six-minute walking test (6 MWT). Methods: 12 stable COPD and 12 healthy subjects participated in the study. The EBC was collected with Rtube and analyzed using the Accusizer FxNano. Particle concentration was measured and correlated with the findings of the tools used to assess the health status and functional profile of COPD. The results’ analysis was performed with the Spearman’s test and the Mann-Whitney U - test. Results: The COPD group presented a worse picture of health status and functional profile compared to the healthy group. Correlations were observed between components of the SGRQ and CAT. The two groups presented similar levels of EBC particle concentrations, but the number of small particles was higher in COPD subjects. A correlation of the EBC particle concentration with the activity and total score of the SGRQ was only observed in the healthy group. Conclusion: The total particle number was similar in the COPD and healthy groups. A few correlations between the EBC particles and tools used were also observed. The use of EBC particle concentration to monitor COPD status cannot be claimed with confidence because of the small sample size. Further research is necessary, particularly in large-scale groups.
Use of Real-World Contexts in Instructional Materials Designed by Pre-University Mathematics Teachers

Published: December 2023

Pre-university education in Singapore serves as a bridge between secondary and university education. Despite its importance and the popularity of mathematics as a subject, few studies have been conducted on Singapore pre-university mathematics. We also notice that problems in real-world contexts have been increasingly emphasised in the Singapore mathematics curriculum. In this paper, we study the infusion of real-world contexts in the instructional materials of a typical pre-university institution, with a focus on the topic of vectors. The word problems used in the instructional materials involving real-world contexts are categorised into neutral contexts and basic real-life experiences, and the benefits of utilising these problems are discussed. The benefits include the potential to raise students’ awareness that mathematics can be used as a resource to solve real-world problems or explain real-world phenomena. The alignment of these word problems to the Singapore mathematics curriculum and 21st Century Competencies is also discussed.

Published: December 2023

Equibrilliant is a game-board assessment to improve students' conceptual understanding of Chemical equilibrium. This game-based learning teaching material aims to overcome pro-long misunderstandings by teacher's quick feedback and enhance students' motivation through the enjoyment of play-learning. This approach applies the formative assessment to replace conventional assessment which limits the evaluation of students’ progress, contributes to prolonged misconceptions, and creates a stressful situation and low motivation. Analysis of findings through pre-posttest reveals that Equibrilliant gameboard assessment has improved 50% of students’ conceptual achievement and provides high impact assessment with a high mean score of 4.64. Utilizing Equibrilliant is a better way of assessing students’ concepts to prepare matriculation graduates as knowledgeable, innovative, and competitive in the STEM field in the future.

Published: December 2023

Tingginya kebutuhan masyarakat akan daging ayam cenderung tidak dapat diimbangi oleh peternak dikarenakan sebagian besar peternak masih menggunakan metode konvesional. Mesin penetas telur dirancang dengan maksud untuk menggantikan peran indukan ayam dalam mengerami telur-telurnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan mesin penetas telur berkapasitas 50 butir yang ada di BRIDA NTB dengan menitik beratkan pada tiga unsur utama yaitu suhu, kelembaban, dan pemutaran rak telur. Peneliti memanfaatkan sensor DHT11 untuk mengukur suhu dan kelembaban, ESP32-CAM untuk mengambil foto ruang penetasan agar dapat memantau keberadaan anak ayam saat telur menetas, dua unit lampu 5W sebagai sumber energi panas, kipas angin 12V untuk menambah sirkulasi udara dan kelembaban. Sebagai pengendali utama, digunakan board microcontroller NODEMCU ESP32. Kegiatan monitoring jarak jauh dan controling otomatis dapat dilakukan sesuai dengan kebutuhan suhu dan kelembaban yang diperlukan. Ketika suhu <39  maka lampu on, lalu lampu off setelah suhu >40 . Kemudian, ketika kelembapan <71%RH maka kipas on, dan kipas off setelah kelembaban mencapai 75%RH. Kemudian, pemutaran rak telur dapat diatur pada frekuensi yang teratur yaitu  setiap 3,5jam. Adapun inovasi pada pemantauan waktu penetasan telur dapat dilakukan secara real time melalui aplikasi telegram. Meskipun mesin penetas telur yang dirancang belum diuji keberhasilan penetasannya, namun dengan adanya upaya pemenuhan suhu dan kelembaban dalam ruang penetasan, pengaturan frekuensi pemutaran rak telur, serta penerapan teknologi IoT diharapkan dapat memberi kontribusi terhadap peningkatan nilai tambah produk IKM di BRIDA NTB

Россия под санкциями: теневая экономика – фактор гибкости?
Authors: Симачев Ю.В. , Федюнина А.А , Светова В.А.
Published: December 2023

В статье обсуждается феномен существования теневого сектора в национальных экономиках под воздействием экономических шоков. На основе международного опыта доказывается, что теневой сектор далеко не всегда растет под воздействием кризисов и санкций. Это зависит от природы последних, отраслевой структуры сектора, а также отношения к нему со стороны органов власти и регуляторной практики. Показано, что в российской экономике в периоды структурных кризисов (1990-е, пандемия 2020 г., санкции 2015 и 2022 гг.) воздействие на теневой сектор было сложным и разнонаправленным. Авторы выделяют набор условий, при которых теневой сектор может смягчать удар экономических шоков, среди них: широкий охват малого бизнеса, возможность перетока рабочей силы между теневой и легальной частями экономики, низкая регуляторная нагрузка и способность бизнеса адаптировать организационные модели. Авторы заключают, что относительно мягкое регулирование в ближнесрочной перспективе может создать условия, при которых теневой сектор может при умеренном изменении масштабов стать стабилизатором в ситуации санкционного давления и фактором гибкой адаптации экономики к новым условиям.
К вопросу о планах по развитию малой авиации в России

В статье проведен анализ численности и состояния парка малой авиации России (в том числе в сопоставлении с другими странами), системы подготовки пилотов, а также построен модельный прогноз динамики количества легких коммерческих самолетов на горизонте до 2030 г. Показано, что флот малой авиации ощутимо недопредставлен относительно США и Канады, имеющих схожие природно-климатические условия, средний возраст судов велик, только половина из них имеет свидетельство о летной годности. Модельный прогноз показывает, что реализация стратегических планов по развитию отрасли не приведет к сопоставимому с североамериканскими странами уровню доступности ее услуг. Кроме того, наращивание парка малой авиации будет формировать дополнительную необходимость в ее кадровом обеспечении, что потребует проработки и решения проблем в этой сфере.

Ecological Art Practices and Human-Nonhuman Knowledges
Authors: Guaraldo Emiliano
Published: December 2023

Exploring the intersection of contemporary art, ecology, and non-human perspectives, this volume, featuring scholars and artist-researchers, rethinks traditional narratives in the face of ecological crises. It critically examines human-centric ideologies and environmental exploitation, engaging with issues of racial capitalism, colonial legacies, and the making of the Anthropocene. The collection highlights art’s potential role in exposing ecological injustices and envisioning new, sustainable ways of coexisting with non-human subjects on our planet, promoting collaborations between forms of knowledge across disciplinary divides. Can art be the catalyst that redefines our relationship with the planet and its myriad inhabitants in the face of unprecedented existential challenges? What types of knowledge can be gained from collaborations with biological, geological, and technological subjects?
Blackbird Songs: More-than-Human Aural Histories in the Anthropocene
Authors: Cortés Zulueta Concepción
Published: December 2023

Due to the anthropocenic momentum of the pandemic, birdsong turned into an alternative avenue of research. First, the relative human silence allowed birds to be more present and audible, even if they were singing at a lower volume, and this aroused a nostalgia for what we were losing to anthropogenic noise. Then, a reflection followed about how history and birdsong intertwined, even about birdsong as history, as a non-human or more-than-human history that sings and offers multispecies stories of a certain place and time. This chapter adopts a situated approach that combines academic research with moments of attentive listening and personal experiences involving birds and their sounds and specifically, blackbirds, and an individual male blackbird in particular. Stressing the materiality of the text and the instant (of listening, of writing) it attempts to offer, in parallel, blackbird episodes as lived and listened to from a human perspective together with a reflection on the songs of this blackbird as a collection of sounds (from other birds, from humans) selected from the surrounding soundscape in as many episodes, with the aim of presenting those songs as more-than-human stories and histories of that situated place.
With the Wild
Artmaking as Collaboration with Wild Landscapes and Their Inhabitants
Authors: Consolandi Pietro
Published: December 2023

This essay explores the intersection of art, nature, and culture, delving into the role of the artist as an agent who interacts and collaboratively creates with their surrounding ecosystem. The essay draws from examples like Pintubi song maps in Australia, the coastal pilgrimages of Jakarta-based duo Tita Salina and Irwan Ahmett, and Rashad Salim’s Ark for Iraq project. Through these examples, it discusses how artistic practices can emerge from dialogues with landscapes and communities, and how such practices can evoke new mythologies and worldviews. The text reflects on the blending of human agency with the elements of the environment, bringing forth a perspective of plural realities and decentralised designs, challenging anthropocentrism, and emphasising the inherent agency within these artforms that reciprocate and resonate with their ecosystems.
Enchanted Cutaway: Nurturing Imaginations through Regrowth and Remembrance in the Altered Landscape of the Weald (UK)
Authors: Risley Sam
Published: December 2023

This study traces the impacts the iron industry of the Weald (UK), called Cutaway wood. It emphasises that the sixteenth century, which spanned the boom of the industry in the UK, also saw the greatest impacts of enclosure upon the landscape, the scientific revolution strip life down to its basic elements, and religious theory manifest notions of supernature. All of which created space for a burgeoning industrial capitalism to exploit natures resources. These capitalist abstractions haunt the present, forming a psychological hurdle as we try to visualise a new world. In this article I argue that rekindling a connection to land through visitation may help to reorient our diminished capacities for envisioning solutions to the climate crisis.

The research methodology is interdisciplinary. This study adopts atmospheric aesthetics as the research perspective and combines a literature review and empirical research to elaborate on the subject. The research provides a comprehensive analysis of the narrative elements and characteristics of museum cultural and creative products, proposes narrative design approaches, and explores the elements, methods, and strategies of narrative design in depth. In this study, the narrative design strategy of museum cultural and creative products is discussed from the perspective of atmospheric aesthetics, and a narrative model of museum cultural and creative product design from the perspective of atmospheric aesthetics is constructed. By exploring in depth the aspects of museum cultural and creative products, such as the meaning of form and spirit, and the emotive narrative language, we can better understand the importance and value of museum cultural and creative products in contemporary society. These narrative strategies will not only enable people to better understand and appreciate the cultural connotations of cultural relics but also bring museums closer to the general public and promote cultural heritage and aesthetic education.
Theatres of Imagery: A performance theory approach to rock art research
Authors: Witelson David M.
Published: December 2023

This monograph applies performance theory to rock paintings in the Stormberg mountains of South Africa’s Eastern Cape Province-a rich rock art area to the southwest of the Drakensberg mountains. The Stormberg’s rock paintings offer a unique opportunity to develop a novel set of theoretical ideas in relation to rock art sites.The research draws on performance theory to argue that an extinct rock painting practice was, in many respects, similar to San (Bushman) performances recorded in documentary sources and ethnographies. This approach helps us to better understand the nature of hunter-gatherer rock art at both regional and site-specific scales. The performances in which rock art images participated were not isolated, but instead belonged to an irreducible aggregate of interrelating performances that constituted society itself.
Making Flour the German Way in Roman Britain: Distribution, use and deposition of imported lava quernstones and millstones
Authors: Banfield Lindsay
Published: December 2023

The importance of food processing in the past is evident from the frequent occurrence of milling tools on archaeological sites. During the Roman period in Britain, imported lava milling tools from the Mayen region of Germany complement those of indigenous stone types, but distribution and use of lava in the province has never been systematically examined. This research presents the first study of this material in Roman Britain, cataloguing and analysing 2,707 lava milling tools from 564 sites. A further 601 sites where lava was absent but other lithologies occurred have also been recorded. Analysis was completed using an object biography approach to investigate the key stages of manufacture, distribution, primary use, reuse/modification, and deposition at various case study sites to reflect lava milling tool use in rural, urban, and military contexts.

Published: December 2023

The study objective is to increase the information value, accuracy and reliability of the experimental assessment results of extreme pressure and antifriction properties of the tested materials. A brief analysis of the work on the creation of test tribo-technical equipment is given. The difference between the designs of friction machines for testing using Reichert and Timken tests is shown. The design of an upgraded friction machine for determining extreme pressure, antifriction and anti-wear properties of lubricants is presented. In the proposed installation, the radial force on the friction unit ("roller - ring" or "bar – ring") is generated by a mechanism of even loading, and the assessment of extreme pressure lubricants is determined at the moment of gripping the rubbing samples, at which the motor shaft stops. As a result of upgrading the machine, it became possible to measure the friction force, the normal load and to read the friction factor, both for the lubricants under study and for friction pairs consisting of structural and instrumental materials. The results of comparative tests on the upgraded friction machine for lubricating and cooling liquids with different contents of extreme pressure, antifriction and anti-wear additives are presented.

A new friction machine design based on Reichert machine is developed, which allows testing structural and lubricating materials for friction and wear using both Reichert and Timken tests. At the same time, the accuracy of determining tribo-engineering characteristics of the tested materials is increased. It is found that as a result of equipping the friction machine with an even loading system and force measuring sensors, it becomes possible to determine extreme pressure and anti-friction properties of lubricants and structural materials, as well as to estimate the value of the friction factor.

The paper objective is to find out the effect of various lubricants on the wear resistance of galvanized steel ropes manufactured according to GOST 2688-80 Two lay rope type LK-R construction 6 19(1 +6+6/6)+ 1 o. c. Dimensions. The research was carried out on a machine manufactured according to GOST 2387-80 Stell Ropes. Method of Endurahce testify under normal conditions, at negative temperatures and under periodic exposure to seawater. It is shown that many rope lubricants used by Russian metallurgical enterprises for impregnating galvanized steel ropes, when periodically exposured to seawater, reduce their wear resistance from 16 to 34% in relation to non-lubricated ropes. Only the universal rope lubricant Rosoil-K112 showed an increase in the wear resistance of galvanized steel rope by 23%. It was found that lubricants that maximize the wear resistance of galvanized steel rope during its operation in normal climatic conditions turned out to be completely ineffective at negative temperatures or when exposured by seawater. As a result of the work carried out, it was revealed that in order to increase the wear resistance of galvanized steel rope, additional studies are needed to investigate the interaction of galvanized coating and lubricating material under conditions of periodic exposure to seawater, as well as industrial tests of galvanized steel rope lubricated with universal rope lubricant Rosoil-K112.
Shallow resultatives in sign language
Authors: Asada Yuko
Published: December 2023

This paper addresses two puzzles that arise from resultative sentences that have theword order S(ubject)–O(bject)–V(erb)–R(esult) (SOVR) in sign languages: (i) the SOVRorder does not seem to be attested in spoken languages; (ii) the recursive occurrencesof resultative predicates in this construction in Japanese Sign Language (JSL) violateTenny’s (1994) Single Delimiting Constraint, the well-known generalization of resultativeconstructions. Under the functional approach to resultatives (Embick 2004; Folliand Harley 2020), I propose a bi-clausal coordination analysis of SOVR sentences in JSL,which provides accounts of these two questions. The proposal has theoretical implicationsfor the structural depth permitted in center-embedded complementation in thevisual modality (cf. Geraci et al. 2008).
Intuitions of native Japanese Sign Language signers onmouthing words with multiple pronunciations
Authors: Dale-Hench Martin
Published: December 2023

Mouthings in signed languages have traditionally been understood as derived from spokenlanguages, and Japanese Sign Language (JSL) is no exception. However, Bauer andKyuseva (2022) has suggested that it is also a written language-contact phenomenon, astheir Russian Sign Language mouthing study shows that RSL signers mouth shapes thatpeople using spoken Russian would not. This study focuses on Japanese Sign Languageuser’s mouthing patterns when producing a word that has multiple possible mouthings.Spoken Japanese have multiple readings for the same logographic character, kanji, someJapanese-derived (kun-yomi), and some Chinese-derived (on-yomi). Fluent JSL signerswere asked to produce JSL signs for two sets: one for concepts with kun-yomi readingsin spoken language, and for objects ordinarily expressed with two or more kanji with onyomireadings. The findings show that JSL signers overwhelmingly use kun-yomi in theirmouthings, even for words read in on-yomi in spoken Japanese. In sum, this paper corroboratesBauer and Kyuseva’s finding that mouthings are not necessarily a completelyspoken language-contact phenomenon.

Authors: Khristoforova Evgeniia , Blunier David
Published: December 2023

When reporting utterances, signers often use a construction known as quotation roleshift (RS), where the signer embodies the author of the report while making use of adedicated set of non-manual markers (RS-NMMs). First (IX-1) and second (IX-2) personpronouns in those constructions are often observed to shift their meaning to refer to thereported author and the addressee. This article focuses on the behavior of these pronounsin Sign Language of the Netherlands. We designed an experiment targeting theinterpretation of IX-1 and IX-2 under RS-NMMs. Results obtained from 13 participantsshow that, while IX-2 is sensitive to RS-NMMs, the interpretation of IX-1 varies acrosssigners but is not influenced by RS-NMMs. Building upon distinctive phonological, lexicaland interpretive properties of these pronouns, we argue that the interpretation ofIX-2 behaves as a genuine shifted indexical, while IX-1 is better analyzed as a logophor.

This paper aims to introduce kinematic motion capture analysis and electromyography(EMG) methodology in the context of experimental investigations involving signlanguages. While motion capture has been employed in previous sign language research,the application of EMG is relatively novel. We utilized both motion capture andEMG techniques to examine the disparities in muscle activation associated with theproduction of telic verb signs (with boundary marking, e.g. the verb arrive) andatelic verb signs (lacking boundary marking, e.g. the verb run) in Austrian SignLanguage (ÖGS). The data analysis revealed that the visual boundary marking inherentin the production of telic signs, which is kinematically characterized by heightenedacceleration, jerk, and deceleration at the conclusion of a sign, is generated by increased activation in upper arm muscles during the sign and hold interval for telics comparedto atelics. In contrast, the majority of atelics exhibited a repeated movement, whichcontributed to more pronounced muscle activation in the forearm compared to telics.The EMG/motion capture combined method applied to sign language production offersnovel insights into linguistics of sign language that were previously inaccessible.
Inherently reciprocal verbs in Brazilian Sign Language
Authors: Lourenço Guilherme , Borges de Figueiredo Lorena Mariano
Published: December 2023

Among various strategies employed by languages to encode reciprocity, there is the useof lexical reciprocals, which specify this relation inherently to the verb. In this paper, weanalyze verbs that are inherently reciprocal in Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) and weshow that they have an interesting pattern, regarding hand specification (with all inherentlyreciprocal verbs being two-handed) and also movement type (whether characterizedby singular or repeated movement as opposed to alternating movement). We willargue in favor of a phonology-semantics interface, in such a way that two-handedness isrelated to participant mapping and the different types ofmovement mark the differencebetween symmetrical and non-symmetrical reciprocals.
Interpretation and the explicitation process
Authors: McDermid Campbell , Humphrey Carrie , Harding Anita
Published: December 2023

Historically, most research has focused on the ability of sign language interpreters towork from English as a source text into American Sign Language (ASL) as a target text.Little has been done on their ability to work from ASL into spoken English. To addressthat gap, a pilot study was done to examine the English target texts of 22 interpreterswho were asked to simultaneously interpret 4 short ASL monologues. The focus of thispilotwas on the incorporation of the articles, “a/an” and “the” and the coordinating conjunctions,“for,” “and,” “nor,” “but,” “or,” “yet,” and “so” in the participants’ English targettexts. The findings indicate that the interpreters did include these even when anequivalent structure was not produced as a manual, lexical item by the native signers intheir ASL stories. Their adaptations served to potentially strengthen the English targettexts by possibly reducing the cognitive load needed to comprehend the utterances byan English-speaking audience, and indicate that decisionswere made by the interpretersto include these structures.
A preliminary description of haptices in Italian social-haptic communication
Authors: Volpato Laura
Published: December 2023

Deafblind individuals experience a combination of partial/complete loss of hearing andsight. They use a variety of communication modes, amongst which social-haptic communication(SHC), which consists of brief tactile messages performed on the body ofthe deafblind person (haptices). A phonological-like structure can be observed in SHCif we consider the smallest units of touch individuated by Lahtinen (2008), called haptemes.Haptemes can create minimal contrasts in haptices. This contribution discusseswhether the recently created Italian haptices also have a phonological structure. Accordingto a preliminary analysis, Italian haptices seem to have their own formof phonology,which responds to physical constraints of signal transmission (such as tactile perceptibility)and to pragmatic contextual factors.
The Hebrew Language on the Stage: Moscow/Prague/Jerusalem
Authors:   Tel Aviv University, Rokem Freddie
Published: December 2023

The Hebrew theatre was an integral component of the Zionist move- ment and the creation of a Hebrew culture, which became Israeli culture with the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. With its first performances in schools, with children performing for their parents, beginning from the 1890’s and with amateur theatres from around 1905, the Hebrew theatre was gradually professionalized around the time of the First World War, beginning with the establishment of the Habima theatre in Moscow, in 1918. Generally speaking, the Hebrew theatre realized the Zionist utopia on the stage by speaking Hebrew. In this article I will discuss two performances where words in Hebrew, with Hebrew letters also appear visually on the stage, becoming active ‘participants’ in the stage events: the legendary production of The Dybbuk, which premiered at the newly founded Habima theatre in 1922 and was the first production of this play in Hebrew; and the Ruth Kanner Theatre’s 2013-performance called The He- brew Notebook: And other stories by Franz Kafka inspired by the notebook Kafka, who died in 1924, used for his studies of Hebrew during the last years of his life.
Theatre Monologues

The Theatre Monologues is a special section of this issue, where theatre practitioners from various countries reflect on what Jewish theatre is all about. These monologues aim to explore the personal creative connection both to Jewish cultural heritage and to the present of Jewish culture. The artistic worlds of the authors of this section are different from one another, and all the more interesting. Their texts testify and at the same time analyze, revealing a multiplicity of searches essential to further deliberation.

Turing Jest: Do Large Language Models have a Sense of Humor?
Authors: Trott Sean , Walker Drew Ellen , Coulson Seana
Published: December 2023

Humor is an essential aspect of human experience, yet surprisingly little is known about how we recognize and understand humorous utterances. Most theories emphasize the role of incongruity detection and resolution, as well as cognitive capacities like Theory of Mind or pragmatic reasoning. In multiple pre-registered experiments, we ask whether the ability to understand verbal humor can emerge from exposure to purely linguistic input. We find that GPT-3, a large language model (LLM) trained on only language data, exhibits above-chance performance in tasks designed to detect, appreciate, and comprehend jokes. Although GPT-3 falls short of human performance, both humans and LLMs misclassify non-jokes with surprising endings as jokes. Further exploratory analyses reveal a relationship between model size and humor comprehension ability. Results suggest first, that LLMs are surprisingly adept at humor comprehension, and second, that language is not all one needs to “get the joke”.
Advanced Meta-Analytic Techniques
Authors: Cheung Mike W.-L. , Jak Suzanne
Published: December 2023

This chapter aims to give an overview of advanced meta-analytic techniques. We will discuss multivariate meta-analysis, three-level meta-analysis, and robust variance estimation, highlighting their strengths and applications. We will also compare these methods to show their similarities and differences. In the second half of the chapter, we will introduce the concept of meta-analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM) and focus on two approaches: two-stage SEM and one-stage MASEM. These approaches combine a pool of correlation matrices and fit structural equation models on the pooled correlation matrix. Finally, we will briefly present the innovative meta-analytic Gaussian network aggregation method. This method combines MASEM and network analysis to integrate and analyze network results. We will use some examples to illustrate the procedures. We will conclude this chapter by highlighting some future directions.

We combine design-based implementation research with a pre-registered RCT to address a long-standing challenge in psychological science: How to use psychological principles to address real-world problems while designing and implementing interventions in the field. We posit this as a design methodology for optimizing the translation between psychological science and real-world applications. We tested the efficacy of an extensively co-designed version of a game-based rational number intervention, Fraction Ball, versus “business-as-usual” math instruction and physical education in a sample of 4th/5th grade Latine students (N=360). Insights from 9 co-design sessions with 20 teachers informed revisions and additions to a previous version of Fraction Ball, strengthening impacts across 10 of 12 rational number subtests. This methodology provides insights for translating psychological science research and scaling it to address real-world educational needs, such as play-based interventions that improve rational number understanding in authentic contexts.
