Addressing the Teacher Shortage Crisis: One Regional University's Approach to Mobilizing a Response to Partnering School Districts
Authors: Jones Tam , Kirk Jeff , Casey Elizabeth , Kuklies Kim , Vasek Austin , Blassingame Jaime 
Published: October 2023

Many researchers have studied the attrition problem that has been impacting teacher retention in K-12 classrooms for years, looking for ways to stem the tide of teachers leaving the workforce (e.g., Darling-Hammond, 2003; Ingersoll & Smith, 2004). However, almost half of educators continue to leave the workforce after three to five years of classroom teaching. After Covid-19, that number has increased, posing a difficult situation for school districts needing to hire effective, certified teachers. However, the question remains: how can institutions of higher education prepare effective educators to go into classrooms and remain there for the duration of their career? Research has demonstrated that teachers with more experience have a greater impact on students’ academic growth than teachers who have less than three years’ experience in a classroom. Ensuring that teachers are prepared to be effective teachers who remain in classrooms beyond the five-year mark is critical to student learning, especially students in lower socio-economic schools who may lag behind their more affluent peers. Researchers at a regional university in Texas determined that meetings with superintendents across a large swath of central Texas might assist all stakeholders in preparing effective teachers to enter and support the workforce in their area. This paper highlights strategic meetings and key findings that have been put into practice to work toward a certified and effective teacher workforce.

A Study on the Factors Influencing the Fertility Intention of the Population in Sichuan Province, China
Authors: He Haidong , Boonlab Supit 
Published: October 2023

Background and Aim: In response to the increasing population and changing social environment in China, a comprehensive policy of permitting two children or three children per family has been introduced to increase the birth rate. However, despite these efforts, the birth rate has continued to decline in recent years, as evidenced by statistics from 2018 to 2021. The research aim of this study was to investigate and analyze the factors that impact fertility intention in Sichuan Province.
Materials and Methods: The population of Sichuan Province was selected as the study sample. By reviewing existing research results, a hypothesis was proposed to determine the factors that affect the birth rate. A random sampling survey method was used, and an existing data analysis software was used to analyze the collected samples using methods such as reliability, validity, and linear regression.
Results: The analysis reveals that rearing costs, social welfare, career development, and social concepts significantly influence fertility intention. Among these factors, career development, social beliefs, and social welfare emerge as important predictors of fertility intention with the highest value of descriptive statistics. The study conducted a survey to analyze the hypothetical factors that may influence fertility intention among the population in Sichuan Province, China.
Conclusion: The findings indicate that there is a significant relationship between rearing cost, social welfare, career development, social concept, and fertility intention, thus achieving the research objectives. The results can be used as a reference for the government to develop public policies aimed at improving fertility intention and provide a research foundation for future studies.
Filipino Nurses’ Experiences in a Collaborative Advanced Practice Model: A Critical Incidents Study
Authors: Sarla F. Duller  , Lourdes Marie S. Tejero  , Tating Dan Louie Renz 
Published: October 2023

The advanced practice nursing role has been found to be a potential solution in low and middle-income countries where access to primary care physicians is limited. In the Philippines, this advanced role has yet to be enacted, hindering the full potential of nurses as primary care providers. Hence, this study aimed to provide an in-depth analysis of nurses’ experiences within a collaborative advanced practice model for hypertension care in the Philippines. This qualitative study utilized a modified version of the Critical Incident Technique. Three participating nurses were asked to self-report the behaviors, interactions, and emotions that positively or negatively impacted their clinic experiences. Similarities in the data were iteratively labeled and classified until major themes emerged. Findings indicate that the overarching theme underpinning the nurses’ experiences in a collaborative advanced practice model was the significant role transition they underwent. While undergoing this transition, three distinct sub-themes of critical incidents emerged: 1) acquiring and maintaining competence, 2) establishing and strengthening collaboration, and 3) gaining and maintaining trust or respect. These insights on the successful role transition of advanced practice nurses in a primary care setting should be used by low- and middle-income countries when establishing their advanced practice nursing frameworks. Furthermore, training programs that prepare advanced practice nurses should also tailor their curricula and strategies on the relevant competencies to include collaboration skills towards building trust with patients and other healthcare providers.

AbstractUpscaling efficient and stable perovskite films is a challenging task in the industrialization of perovskite solar cells partly due to the lack of high‐performance hole transport materials (HTMs), which can simultaneously promote hole transport and regulate the quality of perovskite films especially in inverted solar cells. Here, a novel HTM based on N–C = O resonance structure is designed for facilitating the modulation of the crystallization and bottom‐surface defects of perovskite films. Benefiting from the resonance interconversion (N–C = O and N+ = C–O−) in donor‐resonance‐donor (D‐r‐D) architecture and interactions with uncoordinated Pb2+ in perovskite, the resulting D‐r‐D HTM with two donor units exhibits not only excellent hole extraction and transport capacities, but also efficient crystallization modulation of perovskite for high‐quality photovoltaic films in large area. The D‐r‐D HTM‐based large‐area (1.02 cm2) devices exhibit high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) up to 21.0%. Moreover, the large‐area devices have excellent photo‐thermal stability, showing only a 2.6% reduction in PCE under continuous AM 1.5G light illumination at elevated temperature (≈65 °C) for over 1320 h without encapsulation.
3D‐Printed Biohybrid Microstructures Enable Transplantation and Vascularization of Microtissues in the Anterior Chamber of the Eye

Published: October 2023

AbstractHybridizing biological cells with man‐made sensors enable the detection of a wide range of weak physiological responses with high specificity. The anterior chamber of the eye (ACE) is an ideal transplantation site due to its ocular immune privilege and optical transparency, which enable superior noninvasive longitudinal analyses of cells and microtissues. Engraftment of biohybrid microstructures in the ACE may, however, be affected by the pupillary response and dynamics. Here, sutureless transplantation of biohybrid microstructures, 3D printed in IP‐Visio photoresin, containing a precisely localized pancreatic islet to the ACE of mice is presented. The biohybrid microstructures allow mechanical fixation in the ACE, independent of iris dynamics. After transplantation, islets in the microstructures successfully sustain their functionality for over 20 weeks and become vascularized despite physical separation from the vessel source (iris) and immersion in a low‐viscous liquid (aqueous humor) with continuous circulation and clearance. This approach opens new perspectives in biohybrid microtissue transplantation in the ACE, advancing monitoring of microtissue–host interactions, disease modeling, treatment outcomes, and vascularization in engineered tissues.
A High‐Affinity “Synthavidin” Receptor for Squaraine Dyes

Published: October 2023

AbstractStrong‐binding host–guest pairings in aqueous media have potential as “supramolecular glues” in biomedical techniques, complementing the widely‐used (strept)avidin‐biotin combination. We have previously found that squaraine dyes are bound very strongly by tetralactam macrocycles possessing anthracenyl units as cavity walls. Here we show that replacing the anthracenes with pentacyclic 5,7,12,14‐tetrahydro‐5,7,12,14‐tetraoxapentacene (TOP) units generates receptors which bind squaraines with increased affinities (around Ka=1010 m−1) and improved selectivities. Binding can be followed through changes to squaraine fluorescence and absorbance. The TOP units are easy to prepare and potentially variable, while the TOP‐based receptor shows improved photostability, both in itself and in complex with squaraines. The results suggest that this system could prove valuable in the further development of practical “synthavidin” chemistry.
Visible Light Photoiniferter Polymerization for Dispersity Control in High Molecular Weight Polymers
Authors: Ma Qingchi , Qiao Greg G. , An Zesheng 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThe synthesis of polymers with high molecular weights, controlled sequence, and tunable dispersities remains a challenge. A simple and effective visible‐light controlled photoiniferter reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization is reported here to realize this goal. Key to this strategy is the use of switchable RAFT agents (SRAs) to tune polymerization activities coupled with the inherent highly living nature of photoiniferter RAFT polymerization. The polymerization activities of SRAs were in situ adjusted by the addition of acid. In addition to a switchable chain‐transfer coefficient, photolysis and polymerization kinetic studies revealed that neutral and protonated SRAs showed different photolysis and polymerization rates, which is unique to photoiniferter RAFT polymerization in terms of dispersity control. This strategy features no catalyst, no exogenous radical source, temporal regulation by visible light, and tunable dispersities in the unprecedented high molecular weight regime (up to 500 kg mol−1). Pentablock copolymers with three different dispersity combinations were also synthesized, highlighting that the highly living nature was maintained even for blocks with large dispersities. Tg was lowered for high‐dispersity polymers of similar MWs due to the existence of more low‐MW polymers. This strategy holds great potential for the synthesis of advanced materials with controlled molecular weight, dispersity and sequence.

AbstractPrecise binding towards structurally similar substrates is a common feature of biomolecular recognition. However, achieving such selectivity—especially in distinguishing subtle differences in substrates—with synthetic hosts can be quite challenging. Herein, we report a novel design strategy involving the combination of different rigid skeletons to adjust the distance between recognition sites within the cavity, which allows for the highly selective recognition of hydrogen‐bonding complementary substrates, such as 4‐chromanone. X‐ray single‐crystal structures and density functional theory calculations confirmed that the distance of endo‐functionalized groups within the rigid cavity is crucial for achieving high binding selectivity through hydrogen bonding. The thermodynamic data and molecular dynamics simulations revealed a significant influence of the hydrophobic cavity on the binding affinity. The new receptor possesses both high selectivity and high affinity, which provide valuable insights for the design of customized receptors.
