Effects of two training workshops upon university students’ learning of critical thinking

by Carlos Ossa Cornejo, Silva F. Rivas, Carlos Saiz Sánchez

We evaluated the effect of two workshops on learning about critical thinking amongst first- year university students. 66 Chilean pedagogy students participated, all female, with ages ranging between 18 and 37 years. Two experimental groups were organized, one with direct teaching (n = 22) and another one with semi-directed teaching (n = 19), plus a control group (n = 25). Pre- and post-tests were applied with an abbreviated Pencrisal critical thinking questionnaire. Читать дальше...

Determining the perceptions and practices of oncologists regarding venous thromboembolism risk assessment in ambulatory cancer patients: A qualitative study

Plos.org 

by Marwa Akram Tariq, Ehab Mudher Mikhael

Cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) can increase morbidity and mortality for cancer patients. Therefore, guidelines recommend predicting VTE risk and thromboprophylaxis for high-risk patients. Many studies critique oncologists’ adherence to thromboprophylaxis guidelines for cancer patients. Meanwhile, most of these studies did not discuss in detail the reasons and facilitators for oncologists’ adherence to thromboprophylaxis guidelines. Therefore,... Читать дальше...

Sequence and biochemical analysis of vaccinia virus A32 protein: Implications for in vitro stability and coiled-coil motif mediated regulation of the DNA-dependent ATPase activity

Plos.org 

by Uma Ramakrishnan, Tanvi Aggarwal, Kiran Kondabagil

Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) have massive genome and particle sizes compared to other known viruses. NCLDVs, including poxviruses, encode ATPases of the FtsK/HerA superfamily to facilitate genome encapsidation. However, their biochemical and structural characteristics are yet to be discerned. In this study, we demonstrate that the viral ATPases are significantly shorter than their bacterial homologs, representing the minimal ATPase core of the FtsK/HerA superfamily. Читать дальше...

A retrospective comparative study of the clinical and radiological outcomes of intertrochanteric fractures treated with proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFN-A) and INTERTAN nail

Plos.org 

by Hasan Orkun Varmış, Mehmet Yiğit Gökmen, İsmet Tan

Background

This study aimed to analyze the files of patients treated using PFN-A or INTERTAN intramedullary nails to reveal additional superiorities or disadvantageous factors for selecting the better intramedullary fixation method in patients presenting with intertrochanteric femur fractures.

Methods

In this retrospective study, the files of the patients who were operated on for intertrochanteric femur fractures using intramedullary... Читать дальше...

Agent-based simulation of trust networks and opportunistic behaviours of hydraulic infrastructure project participants

Plos.org 

by Jiaqi Lv, Xiang Wang, Yaoyao Chen

Opportunistic behaviour has become a research hotspot in hydraulic infrastructure project management owing to its serious damage to the cooperation efficiency of all participants in a project. The trust networks formed by each participant can restrain opportunistic behaviour, but due to the dynamic evolution of the networks, its research should adopt a dynamic paradigm. The structure and evolution of trust networks can be simulated using computer simulations and modelling. Читать дальше...

Data transmission delay compensation algorithm for interactive communication network of offshore oil field operation scene in bad weather

Plos.org 

by Jing Xiang, Xin Du

A data transmission delay compensation algorithm for an interactive communication network of an offshore oil field operation scene in severe weather is proposed. To solve the problem of unstable microwave signals and a large amount of noise in the communication network caused by bad weather, the communication network signal denoising method based on Lagrange multiplier symplectic singular value mode decomposition is adopted, and the communication network data denoising...

ESG rating disagreement and bank loan availability: Evidence from China

Plos.org 

by Jidong Qin, Meijia Wang

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ratings are receiving increasing attention in credit markets. However, ESG rating disagreement erects obstacles for companies in obtaining capital resources. This study investigates the impact of ESG rating disagreement on bank loan availability uses data of Chinese listed firms from 2014 to 2022, and employs models with multiple regression analyses and fixed effects. We find that greater ESG rating disagreement leads to a decrease in newly obtained bank loans. Читать дальше...
