Study on perspective taking in online discussions among university students with hearing impairments by A. A. Gareyev, Yu. V. Krasavina, E. P. Ponomarenko, A. A. Shishkina

“…When organising these discussions, it is important to consider certain characteristics: hearing students tend to be highly engaged and independent, while DHH students may provide uncompromising and emotional responses, exhibit frequent linguistic errors, and struggle with issues of plagiarism. In light of these observations, recommendations are provided for effectively organising and conducting online discussions with students who have hearing impairments. …”

Altitude-Driven Variations in Nutritional, Bioactive, and Mineral Profiles of Hawthorn (<i>Crataegus</i> spp.) by Yanyan Liu, Lu Chen, Guohui Shen, Yanting Gu, Yanzhi Guo, Juan Han

“…While primary nutritional components like dietary fiber, protein, and soluble solids exhibited stability across different altitudes, low-altitude samples showed higher levels of hypericin, quercetin, and rutin, likely due to favorable light and temperature conditions. Conversely, high-altitude samples were enriched in calcium, reflecting adaptations to cold stress and structural needs, while phosphorus content was reduced under cooler conditions. …”

3D Nonequilibrium Ionization and Spectroscopic Modeling of Coronal Mass Ejections. I. Comparison with Hinode/EIS Observations by E. M. Wraback, E. Landi, W. B. Manchester, J. Szente

“…High-resolution EUV spectroscopy provides an informative diagnostic tool for the early evolution of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) since it can directly measure many physical properties of CME plasma close to the Sun that cannot be determined from white-light coronagraphs or narrowband imagers. The Hinode/EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) captured a series of high-resolution EUV spectra of the 2008 April 9 event, also known as the “Cartwheel CME,” during its initial acceleration period. …”
