Elucidating the potential of EGFR mutated NSCLC and identifying its multitargeted inhibitors by Anakha D. Rajeeve, Ramasamy Yamuna, P. K. Krishnan Namboori

“…Since curcumin and CB[2]UN support various medicinal applications in drug delivery and design, we investigated the effect of curcumin and CB[2]UN-based drugs in controlling EGFR-mutant NSCLC through a dodecagonal computational approach. Molecular docking studies revealed that the ligands curcumin (-6.9 kcal/mol) and CB[2]UN (-8.1 kcal/mol) bound more strongly to the EGFR-mutant NSCLC proteins with 2ITX and 2ITV, respectively. …”

Continuous professional development and instructors’ beliefs about and practice of active learning method in Bahir Dar university by Mulugeta Teka Kahsay

“…The study first employed one sample t-tests which showed that, though these instructors held significantly stronger beliefs about active learning methods than the expected level, they reportedly implemented active learning methods slightly less frequently than the expected level. Then, after computing means and standard deviations for each of the two groups of respondents (31 HDP participants and 27 non-participants), multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was applied to compare the difference between HDP participants and non-participants in their beliefs and practice of active learning methods (when both dependent variables considered together). …”
