Political consciousness political discourse and internet usage. by Lim, Nona Yean Hong., Tan, Christine Seok Hong.

“…As such, this study postulates the following: that the amount of time spent on the internet will have no impact on political discourse; that an increase in the level of political consciousness may not correlate with an increase in the amount of time spent on the internet; that those who have high levels of political consciousness will have high level of political discourse; that the higher the level of political consciousness, the more likely the user is to use the internet for expressing opinions on national issues; and that those who use the internet for expression of opinions on national issues are likely to be more actively engaged in political discourse. …”

Associations of accelerometer-measured physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep with next-day cognitive performance in older adults: a micro-longitudinal study by Bloomberg, M, Brocklebank, L, Doherty, A, Hamer, M, Steptoe, A

“…Physical behaviour (time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity [MVPA], light physical activity [LPA], and sedentary behaviour [SB]) and sleep characteristics (overnight sleep duration, time spent in rapid eye movement [REM] sleep and slow wave sleep [SWS]) were extracted from accelerometers, with sleep stages derived using a novel polysomnography-validated machine learning algorithm. …”

Seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in children and adolescents by Ratcliffe, H

“…The results showed a high prevalence of pre-existing immunity against seasonal coronaviruses when measuring IgG concentration of antibodies against spike protein but did not confer protection against SARS-CoV-2.…”

Upcycling of homogeneous food waste in 3D printing food inks by Lim, Fiona Xin Ying

“…In this study, we explored various hydrocolloids (sodium alginate, kappa carrageenan, and thermoplastic starch) alongside different food wastes like butterhead lettuce, okara, sesame cake, and brewer’s spent grain to develop food waste inks. Through 3D food printing, rheological tests, and storage tests, we gained insights into viscosity, shear-thinning behaviour, recovery characteristics, and long-term stability of the inks, assessing their impact on printability. …”

Investigating viral glycosylation pathways for drug and vaccine development by Brun, J

“…Chapter 4 focuses on the site-specific glycosylation occupancy, and N- and O-glycan structures attached to virion derived SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoproteins. This glycan signature was compared to a stabilised prefusion trimeric spike, to a monomeric subunit of spike (S1) and to an antigen of a non-stabilised vaccine candidate, revealing subunit shedding of the S1 glycoprotein for the vaccine candidate. …”

Comparative effects of domain-specific human monoclonal antibodies against LGI1 on neuronal excitability by Sell, J, Rahmati, V, Kempfer, M, Irani, SR, Ritzau-Jost, A, Hallermann, S, Geis, C

“…However, only the LRR-specific mAbs increased the number of action potential firing together with enhanced initial instantaneous frequency and promoted spike-frequency adaptation, which were less pronounced after the EPTP mAb. …”
