Bridging verbal coordination and neural dynamics by Isaïh Schwab-Mohamed, Manuel R Mercier, Agnès Trebuchon, Benjamin Morillon, Leonardo Lancia, Daniele Schön

“…More precisely, high-frequency activity (HFa) in left secondary auditory regions is highly sensitive to verbal coordinative dynamics, while primary regions are not. Finally, while bilateral engagement was observed in the HFa of the inferior frontal gyrus BA44 – which seems to index online coordinative adjustments that are continuously required to compensate deviation from synchronisation – interpretation of right hemisphere involvement should be approached cautiously due to relatively sparse electrode coverage. …”

Dosimetric study of TrueBeam single-isocenter vs. Halcyon dual-isocenter VMAT radiotherapy plans for postoperative left-sided breast cancer by Chaojun Chai, Kainan Shao, Guoping Shan, Pu Li, Fenglei Du, Yiwei Yang

“…Conclusions The study found that Halcyon dual-isocenter VMAT plans offered better PTV uniformity and coverage while protecting OARs more effectively. Despite higher MU, beam-on time, and plan complexity, the H group’s dosimetric advantages and reduced manual positioning errors make it a safe and effective treatment option for postoperative breast cancer.…”

Financial education through the lens of the EduFin framework: comparing two pedagogies in primary education by Giovanna Andreatti, Daniele Morselli, Monica Parricchi

“…Learning outcomes were mapped against the EduFin Framework using convergence and divergence matrices to assess alignment with targeted competences.ResultsBoth pedagogical approaches primarily addressed the “Money and Transactions” domain of the EduFin Framework, with limited coverage of “Risk and Reward.” While the framework facilitated systematic evaluation and comparison of program content, findings indicate it emphasizes knowledge transmission over broader competence development, particularly regarding social and collaborative skills.DiscussionThe EduFin Framework offers valuable structure for assessing financial education initiatives but may constrain holistic competence development due to its individualistic focus. …”
