Grades and Learning Styles: New Software for Analyzing Correlations in a Longitudinal Study Across Different Branches of Knowledge and Years by Miguel A. Molina-Cabello, José Serrano-Angulo, Jesús Benito-Picazo, Karl Thurnhofer-Hemsi

“…A comprehensive case study involving one thousand students across various subjects and degrees from several branches of knowledge in different years has been conducted using this tool. The analysis reveals low participation in the survey, with only 6 out of 19 courses having a participation rate that surpasses 50%), where respondents generally achieved higher grades compared to non-participants (on a grade scale from 0 to 10, participants scored on average one point higher than those who did not complete the questionnaire), suggesting that they were more motivated. …”

INTERBLOCK ZONES IN THE CRUST OF THE SOUTHERN REGIONS OF EAST SIBERIA: TECTONOPHYSICAL INTERPRETATION OF GEOLOGICAL AND GEOPHYSICAL DATA by K. Zh. Seminsky, N. O. Kozhevnikov, A. V. Cheremnykh, E. V. Pospeeva, A. A. Bobrov, V. V. Olenchenko, M. A. Tugarina, V. V. Potapov, R. M. Zaripov, A.S. Cheremnykh

“…One of the most effective approaches to studying the zone-block structure of the lithosphere is a combination of geological and geophysical studies of interblock zones tectonic features on various scales, which can make it possible to reveal the most common patterns of the interblock zones, general regularities of their development and relationships between the interblock zones.The main objectives of our study were (1) to identify the zone-block structure of the crust in the southern regions of East Siberia from tectonophysical analysis of geological and geophysical surveys conducted on four different scales along the 500 km long Shertoy-Krasny Chikoy transect crossing the marginal segment of the Siberian block, the Baikal rift and the Transbaikalian block (Fig. 2); (2) to clarify structural features of the central part of the Baikal rift (representing the tectonic type of interblock extension zone) by applying new research methods, such as radon emanation survey, to the Shertoy-Krasny Chikoy transect and using the previously applied methods, such as magnetotelluric sounding, on a smaller scale; and (3) to study manifestation of interblock zones of various ranks in different geological and geophysical fields, to reveal common specific features of their structural patterns for the upper crust, and to establish regularities of hierarchic and spatial relationships between the interblock zones.On the global scale, the object of our study at the Shertoy-Krasny Chikoy transect was the Baikal interblock zone (Fig. 2, 15, and 16). …”

“…This manuscript outlines a detailed protocol of an implementation evaluation embedded in a stepped-wedge cluster randomised controlled trial of a model of care, Strengthening Care for Children (SC4C), that integrates paediatric care in general practice. The purpose of this manuscript is to describe the pragmatic methods that will be used to capture implementation evaluation process and outcome data within this trial.Methods and analysis Our implementation evaluation will use a mixed methods design, with data collected in the intervention arm of the SC4C trial guided by a logic model developed using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) and Proctor and colleague’s taxonomy of implementation outcomes. …”
