An Evaluation of Secondary School Students’ Use and Understanding of Learning Strategies to Study and Revise for Science Examinations by Fatema Sultana, Richard C. Watkins, Tarek Al Baghal, John Carl Hughes

“…Our findings also suggest many students do not have a complete understanding of the strategies that are known to have higher utility (i.e., retrieval and spaced practice). These results represent the first attempt to gather information using robust survey methods and are of interest to secondary school science teachers and education policymakers.…”

Rolling Bearing Fault Diagnosis Based on Sensitive Feature Transfer Learning and Local Maximum Margin Criterion under Variable Working Condition by Shiyuan Liu, Xiao Yu, Xu Qian, Fei Dong

“…Furthermore, a modified feature reduction method, the local maximum margin criterion (LMMC), is proposed to acquire low-dimensional mapping for high-dimensional feature spaces. Finally, bearing vibration signals collected from two test rigs are analyzed to demonstrate the adaptability, effectiveness, and practicability of the proposed diagnosis framework. …”

“See Me as Human:” Reflections on an Experiential Curriculum Led by People With Lived Experience of Incarceration by Tiheba Bain, Monya Saunders, Craig Manbauman, Elana Straus, Camille Bundy, Amber Acquaye, Tyler Harvey, Lisa Puglisi, Sharon Ostfeld-Johns, Carmen G. Black

“…Together we state that recognizing the humanity of individuals with carceral involvement precedes the ability to provide ethical or equitable healthcare: this humanity begins with students and the community sharing places and spaces together. We herein detail our experiences in honoring community educators with lived expertise of incarceration while pioneering a grant-funded, interdisciplinary medical education event offering early exposure to experiential learning in hopes of preparing future clinicians to transcend the status quo of substandard care through individual-level and systems-level advocacy. …”

<i>Mosaicos de la Comunidad</i> (Mosaics of the Community): Community-Engaged Participatory Muraling with <i>Madres Emprendedoras</i> by Jesica Siham Fernández, Laura A. Nichols

“…In the mural <i>Mosaicos de la Comunidad</i> (Mosaics of the Community), a group of <i>madres</i> (mothers) sought to emphasize their shared admiration of art as a form of remembrance of ample food, clean air, and beautiful spaces to live and raise their children. Drawing from the <i>madres’</i> reflections and written testimonials, this paper describes the collective mural-making process; moving from research-based issues identified by the <i>madres</i> into the mural design stage, including the identification of symbols and their meanings, to the creation and painting, and the culmination with a mural-unveiling celebration. …”

Strong absorption in ultra-wide band by surface nano engineering of metallic glass by Jianan Fu, Xin Li, Zhen Li, Fei Sun, Wenxin Wen, Jinlai Zhao, Wenqing Ruan, Shuai Ren, Zhenxuan Zhang, Xiong Liang, Jiang Ma

“…Due to their excellent thermoplastic forming ability, metallic glasses could be patterned into finely arranged nanowire arrays, which show extremely low reflectivity (∼0.6%) in the visible and near-infrared regimes, and a low reflectivity (∼15%) in the mid-infrared regime as caused by multiscale nano spacing, multiple reflections, and plasmonic behavior. …”

Coupling of mitochondrial state with active zone plasticity in early brain aging by Lu Fei, Yongtian Liang, Ulrich Kintscher, Stephan J. Sigrist

“…While the two organelles are spaced in close proximity, likely reflecting a direct functional coupling in regard to ATP and Ca2+ homeostasis, the exact modes of coupling in the aging process remain to understood.We here show that genetic manipulations of mitochondrial functional status, which alters brain oxidative phosphorylation, ATP levels, or the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), can bidirectionally regulate PreScale during early Drosophila brain aging. …”
