Authors: Stubbs Peter , Altre Christopher , Verhagen Arianne , Bartley Nicci , McCambridge Alana , Borja Jereme , Haylock Lauren , Dang Kayla , Pate Joshua 
Published: July 2024

Purpose: To assess the attitudes towards research in a two-year, graduate-entry Master of Physiotherapy course.
Methodology: All students starting (T0) and ending (T1) their degrees in 2020 and 2021 were invited to complete the revised Attitudes Towards Research Questionnaire. This is a three-factor instrument with 13 statements assessing Research Usefulness (four statements, scores ranging from 4 to 28), Research Anxiety (five statements, scores ranging from 5 to 35), and Positive Research Predispositions (four statements, scores ranging from 4 to 28). Each statement was scored using a seven-item Likert scale ranging from ‘Strongly Agree’ (1) to ‘Strongly Disagree’ (7). Student responses between T1 and T0 for factor scores were compared using independent samples t-tests and summarised using mean differences (95% CIs). We defined the minimally important difference as 15% of the scale range.
Findings: Ninety-seven percent (n=124/129) of students completed the survey at T0 and 57% (n=79/125) at T1.
We found no difference between T0 and T1 in research anxiety (0.2 points, 95% CI: –1.5 to 2.0) and research usefulness (–0.9 points, 95% CI: –1.8 to 0.1), but a significant (although not meaningful) decrease in positive research predispositions between T0 and T1 (–1.7 points, 95% CI –3.2 to –0.2).
Research implications: Qualitative research could complement these quantitative findings and provide in-depth reasons for student scores.
Practical implications: Educators need more active strategies to improve attitudes and engagement in research-focused subjects to further engage students.
Originality/value: This is the first study to document attitudes towards research in an Australian graduate-entry Master of Physiotherapy program.
Limitations: There is likely bias (unclear in which direction) at T1 given that 57% of students completed the survey. Surveys were not linked, so group differences were assessed independently.

Published: July 2024

Natural biomaterials have been showing extensive potential in wound healing; attempts therefore focus on productions achieving both antimicrobial and tissue regenerative abilities. Here, we construct a decellularized human colon tumor (DHCT)-derived scaffold for wound remolding via microfluidic bioprinting. The DHCT retains a series of growth factors, fibrin, and the collagen configuration, that favor tissue repair and reconstruction. Specifically, the scaffold shows superior abilities in cell migration and angiogenesis. The biocompatible scaffold is also imparted with tissue adhesion ability and photothermal effect due to the coating of biologically derived polydopamine on the surface. The strong photothermal effect under near-infrared irradiation also present the scaffold with an antibacterial rate exceeding 90%. Furthermore, in vivo experiments convinced that the polydopamine-integrated DHCT scaffold can markedly expedite the healing process of acute extensive wounds. These findings indicate that composite materials derived from natural tumors have substantial potential in pertinent clinical applications.

Authors: Nguyen Thao Hieu , Pham Duy Thi Thuy 
Published: July 2024

English is by far the most widely used and highly-demand language around the world. Therefore, learning English has become an integral part of the educational process. The ability to write effectively has turned out to be one of the vital skills among English language learners. However, individuals encounter various obstaclesin their writing under various personal and environmental contexts. The main purpose of this study is to explore the writing challenges faced by first-year students majoring in English studies, with a focus on descriptive paragraphs. The study collected data from 38 first-year English major students at Tra Vinh University, Vietnam through an online questionnaire, which was designed with the first part aimed to identify the factors that hinder students from completing descriptive paragraphs, while the latter part consisted of openended questions that allowed students to express their deeper thoughts and expectations towardslecturers for the development of their writing. The most noticeable results of the analysis indicate that creativity and similes appear to be the most influential factors in students’ writing performances. Besides, language-related elements rank as an integral part of the writing process as well. Based on the analysis of self-reported responses, the study ends with implications regarding lecturers’ instructional strategies, syllabus design, andstudent autonomy to address these challenges.

Hacia una animación bíblica de toda pastoral frente al ascenso de la secularización en África
Authors: Yoboue Georges 
Published: July 2024

En un contexto de mutaciones socioculturales y de pluralidad de creencias en África, la propuesta del Evangelio, ¿tendrá muchas posibilidades? En efecto, teniendo en cuenta el panorama sobre los peligros de una secularización sutil gestándose en el continente, se ve uno abocado a cuestionarse sobre la autenticidad de la efervescencia religiosa y sobre el arraigo profundo de la fe en los cristianos africanos. Ha sido en este contexto donde la segunda Asamblea Especial Africana del Sínodo de los Obispos invitaba a explorar nuevos métodos de evangelización cuyo reto sería llegar a lograr una pastoral y un enfoque catequético que favoreciesen la transformación integral y un compromiso socio-eclesial del africano (Cf. AM 164). En este contexto, la animación bíblica de toda pastoral es una urgencia.

Quantitative Criteria for Defining Planets
Authors: Margot Jean-Luc , Gladman Brett , Yang Tony 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The current International Astronomical Union (IAU) definition of “planet” is problematic because it is vague and excludes exoplanets. Here, we describe aspects of quantitative planetary taxonomy and examine the results of unsupervised clustering of solar system bodies to guide the development of possible classification frameworks. Two unsurprising conclusions emerged from the clustering analysis: (1) satellites are distinct from planets and (2) dynamical dominance is a natural organizing principle for planetary taxonomy. To generalize an existing dynamical dominance criterion, we adopt a universal clearing timescale applicable to all central bodies (brown dwarfs, stars, and stellar remnants). Then, we propose two quantitative, unified frameworks to define both planets and exoplanets. The first framework is aligned with both the IAU definition of planet in the solar system and the IAU working definition of an exoplanet. The second framework is a simpler mass-based framework that avoids some of the difficulties ingrained in current IAU recommendations.
L’amour fou est le propre de l’homme. La folie masculine dans le discours des médecins et des clercs aux derniers siècles du Moyen Âge
Authors: Dubois Anne-Lydie 
Published: July 2024

Dans les derniers siècles du Moyen Âge, la raison et la faculté de jugement sont au cœur de la construction d’un modèle de masculinité valorisé par les clercs, à destination des laïcs. Si la littérature pastorale et les sermons produits par les frères mendiants érigent en impératif la capacité des hommes à aimer leur épouse de manière mesurée, la passion amoureuse est autant condamnée par ces textes cléricaux que par les traités médicaux et les chapitres consacrés à la médecine dans les encyclopédies du xiiie siècle. Menant selon leurs auteurs à la folie et à la déraison, l’amour excessif va à l’encontre du modèle de perfection qu’incarne la masculinité. Or, la folie amoureuse et la maladie d’amour, en tant que pathologie mentale, sont spécifiquement assimilées à l’essence même de la masculinité dans ses dispositions physiologiques et sont attribuées aux hommes à la suite du commentaire de Girardus Bituricensis. Cet article instaure un dialogue entre le discours médical et les sources cléricales autour de cette ambivalence.
