Spatial resources in pre-service teachers’ instructional practices in VR tandems: co-constructing shared spaces and embodied spatial scaffolding by Milica Lazovic

“…The linguistic, perceptual, epistemological, and technical asymmetries within this setting necessitate scaffolding the co-participant through the virtual environment, guiding them in spatial exploration, orienting them to usability cues, leveraging spatial resources to support interactive and learning processes, developing embodied practices, and fostering mutual alignment. The analysis focuses on pre-service teachers’ use of spatial resources and their practices of embodied spatial scaffolding to support learning in three key areas: instructing on app functionality, developing new embodied action patterns, and fostering a functional understanding of virtual objects. …”

Wearable inertial sensors and pressure MAT detect risk factors associated with ACL graft failure that are not possible with traditional return to sport assessments by Michael J Dan, William R Walsh, Kimberly Kai Lun, Luke Dan, Jimmy Efird, Matthew Pelletier, David Broe

“…Patients performed biometric and functional tests (thigh circumference and triple hop) and the ViMove knee module (consisting of single and double leg squats, hops and box drops) for lower limb alignment assessment, concurrently with force plate.Results Elite athletes had less varus/valgus (VV) movement during ViMove exercises compared with the ACLR cohort, who in turn had less VV malalignment than controls. …”

A role for Myo-II zipper and spaghetti squash in Gliotactin-dependent Drosophila melanogaster wing hair planar cell polarity. by Chase Holland, Natalya Cox, Hanna Dery, Mariah Williams, Gwendolyn Jones, Lindi Newton, Kristin Jurgensen, Han Chang, Alex Hord, Won Chang, Damon Montgomery, Hawkins Hochstedler, Amish Mishra, Jessica Baker

“…This localization is abrogated in Gliotactin loss-of-function genotypes. We propose that Gliotactin promotes Spaghetti Squash and Zipper accumulation at the cell apical surface during wing hair extension and that this apical Myosin-II complex stabilizes the developing hair base, maintaining parallel alignment of neighboring wing hairs.…”
