Aged and wheeled mobility in transit-oriented development: the capabilities approach by Xu, Y, Chan, H-Y, Chen, A, Chim, T-Y, Liu, X

“…Our focus is on understanding these conversion factors, which highlight both environmental and individual constraints when converting resources into capabilities. Our findings reveal significant disparities in walking environments between the initially planned and the realized catchment areas, as well as disparities between individuals with and without physical limitations. …”

How coalitions shape legislative institutions in parliamentary democracies by Zubek, R

“…Procedural opportunities to use legislative committees to challenge ministerial proposals tend to be strengthened under multi-party cabinets in which preference divergence between coalition partners is substantial and in which parties have similar probability of making proposals to implement joint policies. These findings open interesting avenues for future work on how parties shape legislative institutions in parliamentary democracies.…”

Longitudinal effects of a scenario-based learning intervention on preservice teacher self-efficacy by Rushby, JV, Klassen, RM, Durksen, TL, Pfaffel, A, Bardach, L

“…Results from open-ended responses following the intervention showed how reflection on scenarios and feedback played a role in preservice teachers’ self-efficacy. The findings highlight the benefits of providing preservice teachers with low-risk, authentic classroom experiences bolstered by expert feedback and opportunities for reflection.…”

Testing the national identity argument by Miller, D, Ali, S

“…Using case studies from the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, we suggest that the relationship between national identity and social justice varies between societies, and that a key factor is finding an appropriate balance between the strength of such identities and their inclusiveness.…”

Mental contrasting changes the meaning of reality by Kappes, A, Wendt, M, Reinelt, T, Oettingen, G

“…Importantly, the meaning of reality as obstacle mediated mental contrasting effects on goal pursuit (Studies 1, 2). The findings suggest that mental contrasting produces selective goal pursuit by changing the meaning of a person's reality.…”

The effects of fasting on acute ischemic infarcts in the rat by Schneider, AM, Buchan, AM, Couch, Y

“…After 24 hours, fasting was found to reduce infarct volume and BBB breakdown, and lower both circulating and brain neutrophils. These findings suggest that fasting may be a beneficial non-pharmacological additive therapeutic option for cerebral ischemia, potentially by reducing inflammation in the acute stage of the disease.…”

Culture of human pluripotent stem cells and neural networks in 3D using an optogenetic approach and a hydrogel model by Lee, S

“…Viability of the cells at 7 day-post-infection was 80% - 97% in all conditions tested. In line with published literature, transduction efficiency of neurons at day 14 was found to be 3% - 7% for plasmids containing the SYN1 promoter and 2% - 5% for plasmids containing the CaMKII promoter. …”

A standardised fraction 1 (SF1) from clinacanthus nutans attenuates the stemness of cervical cancer stem-like cells via inhibition of notch1 signalling by Ismail, Faridah

“…Bioassay guided fractionation was employed for the isolation of SF1 from C. nutans leaf extract. The SiHa cell line was used for the enrichment of CCSCs by culturing the cells in CSC-conditioned medium (cervospheres). …”

Overlooked effect of negative data on efficiency analysis by Lu, Wen-Min, Kweh, Qian Long, Ting, Irene Wei Kiong

“…Traditional techniques of handling negative data values in DEA, such as adding an arbitrary constant or substituting a small positive value, fail to account for the effect of production scale on efficiency and can produce misleading findings. This study thus proposes a novel method for dealing with negative output values in DEA by revising them based on production scale. …”
