In Layman’s Terms
Authors: Tremaglio Chadene , Kraczkowski Michelle
Published: February 2024

Lay summaries are commonly written by researchers in many disciplines to translate technical scientific concepts into language that can be understood by general audiences. In our first-year introductory biology course, we employed a write-to-learn pedagogy by incorporating a lay summary-style writing assignment that encouraged students to explain the major results of a journal article in their own words, a format we referred to as “blog-style” for our students. We chose to use this format to allow students to focus on understanding, defining and explaining key scientific terminology, without regurgitating technical jargon. Students selected and read a scientific journal article connected to a biotechnology topic at the start of the semester and were given worksheets to complete throughout the semester that guided them in the reading of their article. We also offered in-class workshops that focused on best practices for reading journal articles, how to write for a general audience, and how to avoid plagiarism. Students then composed two-page, lay style summaries highlighting some of the key findings of the articles that they read. This assignment resulted in many students producing engaging, well-written papers that allowed them to demonstrate meaningful understanding of some of the technical terminology and concepts in their articles.
Constructing Disability
Authors: King Carolyne M.
Published: February 2024

The Keyword Portfolio assignment is a semester-long project in which students trace their developing understanding of disability concepts, drawing together terms from class readings and discussions with an identification of these concepts at work in their daily lives. Students compose multiple entries across the semester. In each entry, students first define the chosen disability concept using their own language, and then present and explain an example of the concept in action. After assembling their term entries, students write an introductory, reflective cover letter where they describe their chosen audience for the portfolio and explain their composing choices and organization. In these letters, students generally report that they use their own experiences with terms and positionality and so seek to help students ‘like them’ to access disability tenets and to gain comfort with the material more quickly. Students also describe elaborate webs of connections among their chosen terms, illustrating that they gain broader knowledge of disability concepts and their inter-relationships through the assignment.

Performance expectancy is the extent to which users believe that using technology will increase productivity and effectiveness in achieving their goals. Effort expectancy refers to how easy users believe the technology will be to use. If the technology is perceived as easy to use, then users are more likely to adopt it. Social influence refers to the influence generated by others on the decision to use technology. This factor can include social support or recommendations from others, influence from groups, or social norms related to technology use. In this study, a random sampling technique was used as the sampling method. A total of 214 data points were collected through a self-administered survey from respondents of two luxury handbag brands in Indonesia. The analysis method in this research used structural equation modeling (SEM). There are significant relationships between ideal self-congruence and customer love for a brand, between ideal self-congruence and customer loyalty to a brand, and between customer love and customer loyalty to a brand. On the theoretical level, this research contributes to a better understanding of how to create customer loyalty to brands through tracking the self-congruence construct and customer love for brands. On the managerial level, this research provides useful actionable guidance to loyalty program managers on how to create luxury brands that incorporate customer ideal self-congruence and simultaneously foster strong emotional bonding to brands. Contemporary interest in customer loyalty to brands has resulted in a variety of related research being conducted in many areas. Our investigation reveals that few studies address the relationship between ideal self-congruence, brand love, and customer loyalty to luxury brands.

Brain metastases are a frequent consequence of “non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)”, one of the most prevalent cancers with a poor prognosis. For the best possible patient outcomes, detecting and treating NSCLC brain metastases involve substantial hurdles and calls for a multidisciplinary approach. This article intends to provide an overview of current methods for diagnosing and treating NSCLC brain metastases. It examines the various available treatment options, diagnostic techniques, and their effects on patient outcomes. A thorough literature review was done to find pertinent studies, clinical suggestions, and professional advice about the specialized management of NSCLC. The chosen articles were examined to learn about molecular screening techniques, individualized treatment plans, and diagnostic procedures. For individualized treatment, precise NSCLC identification and prognosis are essential. Techniques such as imaging and endoscopy are used to collect tissue samples. It is advised to do a molecular screening for oncogenic changes. Evaluation of PD-L1 expression informs therapy decisions. The molecular profile determines the first line of treatment, followed by chemotherapy and immunotherapy, and cancer tissue samples help to detect resistance mechanisms. For the best possible patient results, NSCLC therapy must be personalized and incorporate precise pathology evaluation, molecular assessment, and precision therapeutic approaches. To progress in precision medicine in lung cancer treatment, further research is required to find novel molecular markers, especially those that predict the effectiveness of immunotherapy.

The article focuses on various interpretations of the concept of «image of the state» and the practice of using its synonymous terms. The concept of image in the media space is described in detail and the role of the media in building the image reputation of the state in foreign media is revealed. Based on a wide empirical material, the image of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the publications of three well-known US media corporations for 2021-2022 is shown. All image markers and components are given in a detailed qualitative and quantitative dimension, which allows you to detect sustainable trends and problematic issues, and identify possible ways to resolve them. The article concludes that the image of Kazakhstan, formed in these media, is generally not attractive. The interest of the American audience in Kazakhstan is not great, but it noticeably increases during periods of serious political and social events, which could be seen during the introduction of the state of emergency in the Republic of Kazakhstan in January 2022. The negative evaluative context prevails in the coverage of the activities of government institutions, domestic politics, democratic elections, while the positive one prevails in materials about sports, culture, and tourism.

In the context of globalization, the issue of national identity is becoming increasingly important, one of the factors in the formation of which is the linguistic component. In Kazakhstan, despite the indicators of population growth and the number of people who speak Kazakh, the lack or poor quality of media content in the state language remains an urgent problem of the information space. The article examines the state of Kazakh-language media content within the framework of the State Program for the implementation of language policy in the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2020-2025, where the task is to create successful media products for the dissemination of Kazakh-language content. To achieve this goal, a survey of residents aged 10 to 50 years old who speak the Kazakh language was conducted. Respondents were asked questions about the daily use of content in the Kazakh language, their assessment of the availability and quality of media content in the Kazakh language, including on the Internet, as well as how it affects their views. The correlation was revealed that residents of cities and regions where the majority use Kazakh in everyday life, estimate the level of accessibility of content on the Internet in Kazakh is lower than those regions where Russian is mainly used. This is the answer to the question of how the program is being implemented to expand the scope of the state language in the conditions of digitalization. Thus, the results of the survey allow us to draw conclusions about the lack of media content in the Kazakh language, which directly affects the self-identification of Kazakhstanis and the formation of Kazakhstan’s national identity as a whole

У статті досліджується роль монетарної політики та банківського сектору в системі антикризового фінансового управління. Доведено, що антикризове управління визначається як складний і комплексний процес, що вимагає застосування диференційованого арсеналу інструментів, нестандартних управлінських рішень, досвіду й знань. Зʼясовано, що під антикризовим управлінням слід розуміти мікроекономічну категорію, яка визначає відносини на рівні конкретного банку під час його оздоровлення, а під поняттям антикризове регулювання слід розуміти дії уряду та центрального банку, які скеровані на захист банківських установ від кризових ситуацій. Підкреслено тісний звʼязок антикризових заходів з вибором інструментів підтримки фінансової стабільності та налагодженням взаємозвʼязків між регуляторами різних рівнів у прийнятті необхідних рішень. В результаті проведеного дослідження основних аспектів «монетарного трансмісійного механізму» доведено, що він слугує процесом, через який відбувається передача змін при використанні центральним банком диференційованих інструментів монетарної політики, з метою їхнього впливу на фінансову ситуацію в країні, котра у свою чергу здійснює вплив на макроекономічний стан. Встановлено, що результативність монетарної політики знаходиться в залежності від наступних ключових аспектів таких як: цінова стабільність, кредитна та інвестиційна активність, сукупний попит, економічне зростання, а також спроможність економіки протистояти ендогенним та екзогенним викликам, суверенітет та національна незалежність. На основі проведеного аналізу, визначено, що питання функціонування систем антикризового управління фінансовою стабільністю полягає у виділенні інституційної підтримки на стратегічному, тактичному та оперативному рівнях антикризового управління, де кожна організація є системою управління і повинна виконувати чітко регламентовані функції. Зʼясувавши, що монетарна політика є ключовим інструментом антикризового фінансового регулювання, визначено можливості її використання центральним банком для досягнення стратегічних цілей забезпечення стабільності та економічного розвитку.

Published: February 2024

Цель исследования. Разработка клинического индекса прогноза чувствительности дентина (ИПЧД) у стоматологических пациентов.
Объекты и методы исследования. Определены основные предрасполагающие факторы возникновения и развития чувствительности дентина (ЧД) у стоматологических пациентов. В исследование были включены 65 стоматологических пациентов с ЧД, разделенных на две группы, диагностику у которых осуществляли в соответствии с клиническими протоколами, утвержденными Министерством здравоохранения Республики Беларусь. Контрольную группу составили 30 практически здоровых пациентов. Оценку клинических параметров проводили до лечения, через 1 неделю, а также через 1, 6, 12 месяцев. Эффективность лечения оценивали на основании количества хороших, удовлетворительных и неудовлетворительных результатов в каждой группе.
Результаты исследования и их обсуждение. Полученные результаты клинического наблюдения показали, что использование ИПЧД дает возможность не только наглядно информировать пациентов об уровне риска развития ЧД, но и проводить постоянный мониторинг прогностических признаков, что повышает эффективность лечения на 35 %.
Заключение. Хорошие результаты в 83 % случаев в отдаленные сроки наблюдения определяют целесообразность включения разработанного ИПЧД в комплексное лечение ЧД у стоматологических пациентов.

Polyethylene is the most commonly used synthetic plastic and poorly degraded in natural environments. This study was designed to evaluate biodegradation potentials of low-density polyethylene by fugal isolates from Station Market, Kaduna State, Nigeria. Soil samples were collected at a depth of 20cm using a sterilized hand towel and taken to microbiology laboratory, Kaduna State University. Fungi were isolated and each colony was repeatedly sub-cultured on freshly prepared SDA to obtain pure isolates. Pure separated single colonies were maintained on sterile slants at 4˚C for further investigation. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) sheets were cut into bits and immersed in xylene and boiled for 15 minutes to dissolve and crushed. The LDPE powder was added to a mineral salt medium (MSM) containing salts in 1liter of distilled water after which the fungal isolates were introduced. Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier- Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis were used to determine the changes in the polymer bond of LDPE sheet after the biodegradation. The findings shows that Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Brown rot and White rot fungi showed 21.1%, 16.1%, 17.6%, and 18.3% reductions in the polyethylene discs after incubation respective. Therefore, the study concludes that fungal species play a significant role in the degradation of LDPE and can be used in future studies for the degradation of complex plastic materials. Finally, the study recommends that Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus falvus be considered as potential candidates to degrade LDPE.
