A model for utilising crises-related issues to facilitate transdisciplinary outdoor STEAM education for sustainability in integrated mathematics, language arts and technology class... by Musa Saimon, Zsolt Lavicza, Tony Houghton, Fredrick Mtenzi, Pablo Carranza

“…The development of our model was informed by the theoretical framework for Transdisciplinary STEAM proposed by Quigley and colleagues (Sch Sci Math 117:1–12, 2017; J Sci Educ Technol 29:499–518, 2020) and the model for problem mathematical modelling cycle proposed by Blum and Leiß (Mathematical Modelling, pp. 222–231, 2007. https://doi.org/10.1533/9780857099419.5.221 ). We have also illustrated teaching–learning activities for this model to develop learners’ expected skills in STEAM education. …”

Quality Investing and Pricing Strategies by Startups: Impacts of Demand Uncertainties and Capital Constraint by Bing Xia, Richard Y. K. Fung, Ju'e Guo

“…Besides, this paper stresses the necessity of identifying the operational decisions of startups under both profit-seeking and survival-seeking objectives. Results illustrate that, under stochastic environment, the profit-seeking startup makes conservative (aggressive) investment on quality by setting lower (higher) price and investing in lower (higher) quality than the deterministic case, while the survival-seeking startup always sets its price linked to quality in positive direction. …”

Oridonin Relieves Angiotensin II-Induced Cardiac Remodeling via Inhibiting GSDMD-Mediated Inflammation by Shuang Lin, Shanshan Dai, Jiahui Lin, Xiaohe Liang, Weiqi Wang, Weijian Huang, Bozhi Ye, Xia Hong

“…The anti-inflammatory drug oridonin could effectively attenuate the degree of cardiac remodeling both in vivo and vitro by inhibiting GSDMD, a key protein of intracellular inflammation which can further activate kinds of inflammation factors such as IL-1β and IL-18. We illustrated that oridonin reversed cardiac remodeling by inhibiting the process of inflammatory signaling through GSDMD. …”

BRM Immunotherapy of Orthotopically Implanted Murine Bladder Tumours: Treatment Response by Monitoring MRI by Salam A Kadhim, Joseph L Chin, Bertha M Garcia, Peeyush K Lala, Chris J Norley, Barbara A McLean, Stephen J Karlik

“…Serial MRI scans of TNF-α treated mice revealed significant retardation of tumour growth which correlated well with corresponding histological examination of the whole mount bladder sections illustrating areas and depth of tumour regression. Intravesical instillation of combination TNF-α plus IFN-γ into tumour-bearing mice caused tumour growth inhibition up to 21 days following treatment; the results, however, were not superior to those noted with TNF-α alone. …”
