Nanolearning approach in developing professional competencies of modern students: Impact on self‐regulation development
Authors: Radzitskaya Yadviga , Islamov Artem 
Published: January 2024

AbstractNanolearning represents an educational methodology rooted in personalisation and the individualisation of the educational process, leveraging contemporary information technologies. Nanolearning, closely intertwined with self‐regulated learning, entails an individual's capacity to plan, monitor and regulate their learning process, objectives and strategies. In nanolearning, information is presented in small, discrete fragments, necessitating students to autonomously manage their time and educational progress, thereby determining when and what to study. Nanolearning and TikTok can synergistically intersect, yielding innovative pedagogical approaches. TikTok, a popular social platform for sharing concise video clips, introduces a novel mode of information dissemination and interpersonal communication.BackgroundThe introduction of a flexible education system that meets the individual requirements of a student is a burning need of our time. The study hypothesis is as follows: Will nanolearning be able to change the self‐regulatory competence of the experiment participants and how exactly?ObjectivesThe current study aimed to determine nanolearning effectiveness in the context of students' self‐regulation development.MethodsThis was done using a self‐regulation questionnaire addressed to a sample of 120 students of the Kokshetau University named after A. Myrzakhmetov. As a nanolearning platform, this study benefited from the TikTok app.ResultsThe results showed that the experimental group achieved significantly higher scores than the control group on goal setting, environmental structuring, task strategies, time management, help‐seeking and self‐evaluation.ConclusionsThe results obtained can help develop a set of activities for the optimisation of the educational process to improve student professional competence.
The use of fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) for in situ microbial detection in complex mineral substrates
Authors: Chmykh Yekaterina , Nadeau Jay L. 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThe utility of fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) for identifying bacteria in complex mineral matrices was investigated. Baseline signals from unlabelled Bacillus subtilis and Euglena gracilis, and Bacillus subtilis labelled with SYTO 9 were obtained using two‐photon excitation at 730, 750 and 800 nm, identifying characteristic lifetimes of photosynthetic pigments, unpigmented cellular autofluorescence, and SYTO 9. Labelled and unlabelled B. subtilis were seeded onto marble and gypsum samples containing endolithic photosynthetic cyanobacteria and the ability to distinguish cells from mineral autofluorescence and nonspecific dye staining was examined in parallel with ordinary multichannel confocal imaging. It was found that FLIM enabled discrimination of SYTO 9 labelled cells from background, but that the lifetime of SYTO 9 was shorter in cells on minerals than in pure culture under our conditions. Photosynthetic microorganisms were easily observed using both FLIM and confocal. Unlabelled, nonpigmented bacteria showed weak signals that were difficult to distinguish from background when minerals were present, though cellular autofluorescence consistent with NAD(P)H could be seen in pure cultures, and phasor analysis permitted detection on rocks. Gypsum and marble samples showed similar autofluorescence profiles, with little autofluorescence in the yellow‐to‐red range. Lifetime or time‐gated imaging may prove a useful tool for environmental microbiology.LAY DESCRIPTION: The standard method of bacterial enumeration is to label the cells with a fluorescent dye and count them under high‐power fluorescence microscopy. However, this can be difficult when the cells are embedded in soil and rock due to fluorescence from the surrounding minerals and dye binding to ambiguous features of the substrate. The use of fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) can disambiguate these signals and allow for improved detection of bacteria in environmental samples.
Molecular prognostic of nine parthanatos death‐related genes in glioma, particularly in COL8A1 identification
Authors: Fan Shuangshi , Li Hao , Liu Kun 
Published: January 2024

AbstractPost‐operative progression and chemotherapy resistance are the main causes of treatment failure in glioma patients. There is a lack of ideal prediction models for post‐operative glioma patient progression and drug sensitivity. We aimed to develop a prognostic model of parthanatos mRNA biomarkers for glioma outcomes. A total of 11 parthanatos genes were obtained from ParthanatosCluster database. ConsensusClusterPlus and R “Limma” package were used to cluster The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)‐glioma cohort and analyze the differential mRNAs. Univariate Cox regression analysis, random survival forest model, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis were used to determine the nine ParthanatosScore prognostic genes combination. ParthanatosScore was verified by 656 patients and 979 patients in TCGA and CGCA‐LGG/GBM datasets. Differences in genomic mutations, tumor microenvironments, and functional pathways were assessed. Drug response prediction was performed using pRRophetic. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was analyzed. Finally, COL8A1 was selected to evaluate its potential biological function and drug sensitivity of temozolomide and AZD3759 in glioma cells. ParthanatosScore obtained a combination of nine glioma prognostic genes, including CD58, H19, TNFAIP6, FTLP3, TNFRSF11B, SFRP2, LOXL1, COL8A1, and FABP5P7. In the TCGA‐LGG/GBM dataset, glioma prognosis was poor in high ParthanatosScore. Low‐score glioma patients were sensitive to AZD3759_1915, AZD5582_1617, AZD8186_1918, Dasatinib_1079, and Temozolomide_1375, while high‐score patients were less sensitive to these drugs. Compared with HA cells, COL8A1 was significantly over‐expressed in LN229 and U251 cells. Silencing COL8A1 inhibited the malignant characterization of LN229 and U251 cells. Temozolomide and AZD3759 also promoted parthanatos gene expression in glioma cells. Temozolomide and AZD3759 inhibited COL8A1 expression and cell viability and promoted apoptosis in glioma cells and PGM cells. ParthanatosScore can accurately predict clinical prognosis and drug sensitivity after glioma surgery. Silencing COL8A1 inhibited the malignant characterization. Temozolomide and AZD3759 inhibited COL8A1 expression and cell viability and promoted apoptosis and parthanatos gene expression, which is a target to improve glioma.
Organizations as Algorithms: A New Metaphor for Advancing Management Theory
Authors: Glaser Vern L. , Sloan Jennifer , Gehman Joel 
Published: January 2024

AbstractAccording to the ‘Point’ essay, management research's reliance on corporate data threatens to replace objective theory with profit‐biased ‘corporate empiricism’, undermining the scientific and ethical integrity of the field. In this ‘Counterpoint’ essay, we offer a more expansive understanding of big data and algorithmic processing and, by extension, see promising applications to management theory. Specifically, we propose a novel management metaphor: organizations as algorithms. This metaphor offers three insights for developing innovative, relevant, and grounded organization theory. First, agency is distributed in assemblages rather than being solely attributed to individuals, algorithms, or data. Second, machine‐readability serves as the immutable and mobile base for organizing and decision‐making. Third, prompting and programming transform the role of professional expertise and organizational relationships with technologies. Contrary to the ‘Point’ essay, we see no theoretical ‘end’ in sight; the organization as algorithm metaphor enables scholars to build innovative theories that account for the intricacies of algorithmic decision‐making.
The use of model samples in the process of selection of sensory panel to assess cosmetic products
Authors: Turek Pawel , Kowalska Małgorzata 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThe article discusses an innovative approach to the formation of a sensory panel formed for the purpose of evaluating cosmetic products. Model samples of cosmetic emulsions are proposed, which should help in the initial selection and training of sensory panelists, in order to improve the precision of evaluations. Simple and easily reproducible emulsions (comprising rapeseed oil, sunflower lecithin, water, and xanthan gum) were formulated to represent a specific level of variability associated with a particular property, such as thickness. To confirm that the ability to rank the produced emulsions can be considered a criterion for selecting individuals for the sensory panel—resulting in greater consistency of results—tests involving moisturizing creams were conducted. The study's findings demonstrate that the novel approach to candidate selection, through the assessment of model emulsion consistency, is both effective and justified. This method has the potential to enhance recruitment efficiency by identifying individuals with a high ability to evaluate cosmetic emulsions.Practical ApplicationsThose who benefit from the work include professionals and researchers dedicated to enhancing sensory panel selection processes. The main goal was to optimize the sensory panel selection and training process. Reference samples help determine whether potential members have the right skills and potential for sensory evaluation. Selecting individuals with a greater aptitude for assessments based on the sense of touch can be particularly valuable for companies operating in industries where the sensory quality of products is important.
The invisible hand of touch: Testing a tactile sensation‐choice satisfaction model in online shopping
Authors: Shaban Aya , Saraeva Anastasiya , Rose Susan , Clark Moira 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThis study tests a model of the relationship between online store sensory environments and consumer responses using the stimulus‐organism‐response paradigm. The aim is to (a) examine the ability of three online product presentation formats (OPPFs) to induce tactile sensations, (b) identify the effect of tactile sensations upon choice satisfaction, and (c) examine the mediating role of cognitive effort and affective experience. Videos are found to induce the greatest tactile sensations followed by zoom image, whereas static image is found to induce the least. Furthermore, the more tactile sensations consumers experience while shopping online, the higher their emotional experience, resulting in lower cognitive effort and higher consumer choice satisfaction. Affective experience is found to mediate the tactile sensations and choice satisfaction relationship. The original contribution of the research is a newly validated model of OPPFs, tactile sensations, customer experience, and choice satisfaction that extends theoretical understanding of variables previously untested.Practical applicationsThe study offers practical results from which small to medium sized, or new start‐up, online clothing retailers can benefit. The study shows the advantages of using OPPFs such as videos and zoom images on retail websites to assist shoppers by enhancing the sensory buying experience. Such online retailers may not be able to afford the investment in more complex and costly advanced technologies such as the use of augmented reality in virtual mirroring. The study shows that when online retailers provide videos and/or zoom images on their websites, they allow shoppers to experience greater tactile sensations while evaluating and selecting a product compared to only being able to view it as a static image. Online clothing retailers can continue to rely on these technologies to compensate shoppers for the lack of touch in the online shopping context, which is so important when purchasing clothing.
Prometheus by the Bay: Hollywood and tech capitalism in Silicon Valley
Authors: Street Joe , Hunter Russ 
Published: January 2024

AbstractA sequence of recent science‐fiction films set in the San Francisco Bay Area suggests that Silicon Valley corporations have become a major concern for Hollywood. These films present Silicon Valley capitalism in thrall to a technological experimentation that prompts disastrous outcomes, which the films collectively argue emerges from the corporations' drive for profit and ignorance of the precautionary principle. Yet Hollywood's response to Silicon Valley involves the valorizing of a kinder, less rapacious capitalism than that of Silicon Valley, a position that prevents a thorough critique of a major challenger to its position within our culture.

Published: January 2024

AbstractBackgroundNonobstructive coronary artery disease (NOCAD), characterized by the presence of myocardial ischemic symptoms and signs without obstructive coronaries, is a common clinical condition, but it is less well understood. Few studies have analyzed the gender differences in inducible myocardial ischemia assessed by cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) in NOCAD.MethodsWe conducted a study of 289 NOCAD patients (mean age 60, 56% women) with ischemic symptoms and confirmed ⫹50% coronaries stenoses by coronary angiography who underwent symptom‐limited CPET. We assessed ischemic response using predicted % peak VO2, O2 pulse trajectory, and exercise ECG test.ResultsMen with NOCAD had significantly lower predicted % peak VO2 (62% vs. 73%), higher proportions of flattening pattern (16% vs. 2%), and downward patterns of O2 pulse trajectory (2% vs. 0%) (p < .0001) compared with women. In contrast, women with NOCAD had a higher prevalence of shallow patterns of O2 pulse trajectory (21% vs. 6%, p < .0001). Men with NOCAD had a higher risk ischemic profile (medium risk: 63% vs. 54%, high risk: 18% vs. 4%, p < .0001). After adjustment, men with NOCAD had significantly lower predicted % peak VO2 (β −27.4, 95% CI −30.74 to −24.07), higher risk for abnormal O2 pulse trajectories (OR 4.21, 95% CI 1.93 to 9.19), and myocardial ischemia risk per CPET parameters (OR 3.14, 95% CI 1.78 to 5.54) (p < .0001).ConclusionMen with NOCAD had a higher risk profile for ischemic heart disease per CPET. Therefore, they should receive rigorous management and follow‐up to prevent cardiovascular events.
A Green Wave in Media: A Change of Tack in Stock Markets*
Authors: Bessec Marie , Fouquau Julien 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThis paper examines the impact of environmental news coverage in US newspapers on stock markets. Using textual analysis with a dictionary‐based approach, we obtain several measures of attention, tonality and uncertainty in the coverage of environmental news in major US newspapers. We consider different weighting schemes to account for the visibility and relevance of the text sources, and several sets of newspapers to measure the possible impact of their editorial line. Our results show that greater attention to environmental news in the US media reduced the excess returns of carbon‐intensive stocks and increased their volatility over the last decade, especially when the coverage was uncertain. The opposite result holds for the most virtuous green assets. Restricting the corpus of texts to conservative newspapers mitigates the impact of coverage. Overall, our results illustrate how rising environmental concerns lead investors to change their asset allocation.
Acromegaly: Overview and associated temporomandibular joint disorders
Authors: Al‐Hadlaq Malak , Sroussi Herve 
Published: January 2024

AbstractObjectiveTo provide a review on acromegaly and its orofacial manifestations, with a focus on associated arthropathies and temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD).MethodsA review of current literature was performed through an electronic search of three databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The literature review was focused on the following topics of interest: etiology, diagnosis, and management of acromegaly, orofacial manifestations of acromegaly, acromegalic arthropathies, and acromegaly‐associated TMD.ResultsAcromegaly is a chronic multisystem condition in which excessive production of growth hormone in adults, most commonly caused by benign pituitary adenomas, leads to somatic overgrowth. Orofacial changes are considered hallmarks of the disease. It is important for dentists to recognize signs and symptoms of acromegaly, as this may help to achieve early diagnosis and improve overall disease prognosis. Acromegalic arthropathies typically involve large joints, however, the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) can be affected. TMD associated with acromegaly is under‐recognized and poorly characterized in current literature.ConclusionIn the appropriate clinical context, acromegaly should be considered as part of the differential diagnosis for patients presenting with TMD. Further studies are needed to better characterize the nature of TMD associated with acromegaly and to define the role of TMJ involvement in early diagnosis.
Extracellular vesicles—Potential link between periodontal disease and diabetic complications
Authors: Huang Shengyuan , Lin Jiang , Han Xiaozhe 
Published: January 2024

AbstractIt has long been suggested that a bidirectional impact exists between periodontitis and diabetes. Periodontitis may affect diabetes glycemic control, insulin resistance, and diabetic complications. Diabetes can worsen periodontitis by delaying wound healing and increasing the chance of infection. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are heterogeneous particles of membrane‐enclosed spherical structure secreted by eukaryotes and prokaryotes and play a key role in a variety of diseases. This review will introduce the biogenesis, release, and biological function of EVs from a microbial and host cell perspective, discuss the functional properties of EVs in the development of periodontitis and diabetes, and explore their role in the pathogenesis and clinical application of these two diseases. Their clinical implication and diagnostic value are also discussed.
Why future contingents are not all false*
Authors: MacFarlane John 
Published: January 2024

AbstractPatrick Todd argues for a modified Peircean view on which all future contingents are false. According to Todd, this is the only view that makes sense if we fully embrace an open future, rejecting the idea of actual future history. I argue that supervaluational accounts, on which future contingents are neither true nor false, are fully consistent with the metaphysics of an open future. I suggest that it is Todd's failure to distinguish semantic and postsemantic levels that leads him to suppose otherwise. I also show how one can resist Todd's argument (with Brian Rabern) that the conceptual possibility of omniscience requires us to reject Retro‐closure ().
The moral, the political and social licence in digitally‐driven family policy and intervention: Parents negotiating experiential knowledge and ‘other’ families
Authors: Edwards Rosalind , Gillies Val , Vannier‐Ducasse Hélène , Gorin Sarah 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThe article provides a conceptually informed empirical critique of the pursuit of social licence as a warrant for data linkage and predictive analytics in the field of family policy intervention. It draws on research focusing on parental views of digitally‐driven family governance in the United Kingdom. We identify the notion of consensus that undergirds the concept of social licence that acts to obscure inequalities and silence conflict, and to reframe digital surveillance and prediction as a moral rather than political issue. Using focus group and individual interview material, we show how parents assert professional or lay experiential knowledges in making judgements about the legitimacy of and trust in operational data technologies, involving struggles between positionings as parents like ‘us’ and ‘other’ parents. We demonstrate how parents have different leverages from these unequal and morally charged social locations. Inevitably, the application of social licence in the domain of digital family policy and intervention is fractured by entrenched social divisions and inequalities.
Making futures in Oaxaca: Remittances in the diverse economies of social reproduction
Authors: Smyth Araby 
Published: January 2024

AbstractIn this article, I analyse intermingling economically productive and reproductive work at the global and local scale through the lens of how remittances are folded into the communal social relations of one Indigenous community in Oaxaca. Scholars have illustrated the many ways that social reproduction is reconfigured through transnational labour migration, and troubled the categorisation of economically productive and socially reproductive labour. Expanding on their work, I engage with scholarship about Indigenous communal governance in Guatemala and Mexico, particularly the theories of Gladys Tzul Tzul on reproduction, in order to present new insights into feminist geographical knowledge of diverse economies and social reproduction. Drawing on ethnographic methods, I present three empirical examples, which illustrate how the intermingling of economic production and reproduction of communal life make Indigenous futures. I argue that large‐scale reproductive activities, such as those deployed by the community, produce values beyond capitalist circuits of production and that it is how remittances are inserted into the local communal economies that render the money valuable for reproducing life and securing a future.

Published: January 2024

AbstractObjectiveTo describe the clinical application and outcome of MicroPulse™ transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP‐TSCPC) treatment in horses with glaucoma.Animals StudiedFour client‐owned horses with primary (n = 2) or secondary (n = 2) glaucoma.MethodsHorses were treated with MP‐TSCPC under standing sedation with a minimum of 30 days of follow‐up (range 30–1241 days). Affected eyes were treated with a 31.3% duty cycle and 3000 mW laser power for a total of 180 s. Data collected included signalment, pre‐ and post‐procedure intraocular pressures (IOPs), laser settings, medications, complications, and repeat therapy.ResultsFour horses (5 eyes) received at least one treatment with MP‐TSCPC. Mean preoperative IOP was 44 mmHg (range 33–49 mmHg). The immediate mean postoperative IOP was 34 mmHg (4 eyes; range 19–55 mmHg). At 1 week, IOP was 38 mmHg (5 eyes; range 21–80 mmHg), at 2 weeks was 40 mmHg (3 eyes, range 17–80 mmHg), at 1 month was 35 mmHg (5 eyes; range 20–50 mmHg), at 3 months was 18 mmHg (2 eyes; range 14–21 mmHg), at 6 months was 35 mmHg (2 eyes; range 30–39 mmHg), and at >300 days was 24 mmHg (3 eyes; range 18–29 mmHg). Complications included corneal ulceration (n = 1 eye), uncontrolled IOP (n = 3 eyes), and need for repeat treatment (n = 2 eyes).ConclusionsMP‐TSCPC used with the above‐described settings was unsuccessful in treating the majority of cases. Future studies should be targeted at primary glaucoma cases and with use of alternative laser settings.
