Development and validation of a sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the analysis of Mancozeb residues in cauliflower: Risk assessment of real sample... by K. Tripathi, T. Harshangkumar, N. Narayanan, S. Gupta, S.B. Singh, T. Banerjee

“…Mancozeb was derivatized to a yellow coloured cupric dithiocarbamate complex, which was quantified with mass confirmation by LC–MS/MS. The LC-MS/MS method is considerably more sensitive (LOQ 0.01 µg g-1) than the UV–Visible (LOQ 0.1 µg g-1), specific (unique MRM transitions), accurate (recovery ∼93 %), precise (HorRat ∼0.3 at LOQ), rugged and associated with well acceptable uncertainty. 80 % of the real samples of cauliflower collected contain residues of DTCs above LOQ. …”

Whether case-based teaching combined with the flipped classroom is more valuable than traditional lecture-based teaching methods in clinical medical education: a systematic review... by Xu-Ying Shi, Bing-Rui Lu, Qing Yin, Qiu-Wen Wang, Yong-Qi Fang, Zhi-Gang Sun

“…These findings were generally consistent across different nationalities of the study populations, with the exception of students from Western countries, where no statistically significant difference was observed in theoretical scores between the two instructional methods. However, due to the inevitable methodological differences among the included studies, heterogeneity is difficult to eliminate, and the overall sample size is relatively small. …”
