ESL ASSESSMENT IN THE AGE OF AI: SERBIAN ESL TEACHERS’ ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE USE OF CHATGPT

Following the introduction of publicly accessible AI and LLMs, they have gradually started to be adopted in the ESL classroom. Recent studies have revealed that these tools have had a wider impact on ESL assessment, allowing for enhanced accuracy, efficiency, and person alization...

Smoothing out the edges: continuous-time estimation with Gaussian process motion priors on factor graphs

Continuous-time state estimation is gaining in popularity due to its abilities to provide smooth solutions, handle asynchronous sensors and interpolate between data points. While there are two main paradigms, parametric (e.g., temporal basis functions, splines) and nonparametric...

A Competence-Based Architecture for Personalized Adaptive Learning

Traditional e-learning systems often provide limited personalization and adaptation to individual student needs. This paper presents a competence-based architecture for personalized adaptive learning in higher education that integrates an ontology-based content model, practical-s...

Life Mastery as Wellbeing: a historical study of Norwegian curricula

Purpose Life mastery [livsmestring] was implemented as an interdisciplinary theme in the Norwegian Curriculum for primary and secondary education of 2020 (C2020). This study explores the archaeological layers of life mastery in the Norwegian Curriculum of 1960 (C60) and 1974 (M74...

Modification Technology for Exosome Membranes using Membrane-Curvature-Sensing Peptides and Its Application to Boron Neutron Capture Therapy

Abstract Extracellular vesicles such as exosomes are expected to be used as drug delivery vehicles, particularly in personalized medicine, due to their pharmacological advantages. However, the development of functionalization techniques for isolated extracellular vesicles—includi...

Practical Insights from Operationalizing a Remote Symptom Monitoring Program Using a Commercial Platform in a Canadian Community Cancer Clinic: A Post-Implementation Qualitative Evaluation

Remote symptom monitoring using electronic patient-reported outcomes reduces symptom burden and acute care use in oncology, but most programs have been established in academic centers or funded trials using purpose-built software. We examined how the REmote Symptom and Patient mO...

Reaction of α-Iodoalkyldifluoroboranes with Copper(II) Carboxylates via a Tetracoordinate Boron Intermediate

Abstract The reaction of α-iodoalkyldifluoroboranes with copper(II) carboxylates affords α-acyloxyalkyldifluoroboranes. In this process, the high Lewis acidity of alkyldifluoroboranes constitutes the driving force for the formation of a tetracoordinate boron intermediate, as sugg...

Leveraging prompt-driven generative AI for systematic reviews in digital psychiatry: A stage-matched comparative proof-of-concept for healthcare researchers and clinicians

The scale and pace of evidence generation in digital psychiatry increasingly exceed the capacity of traditional systematic literature review (SLR) methods. Large language models (LLMs) are gaining traction in evidence synthesis, yet limited guidance exists for integrating generat...

Exploiting Acquired Drug Resistance in Pancreatic Cancer through Selective Covalent Targeting of MAP2K4/7

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is highly lethal and remains largely refractory to targeted therapy despite its near-universal dependence on oncogenic KRAS. Single-agent KRAS inhibitors often fail due to adaptive resistance mechanisms that emerge under pharmacologic press...

Ag-stripe Formation on the Ni(110) Surface

Ag stripe formation on the Ni(110) surface was studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and first-principles calculations. Ag forms self-limited one-dimensional stripes with fluctuating edges. The stripes consist of one-dimensional...

Sex-Based Differences in Severe Trauma and Hemorrhagic Shock: A Systematic Review of Pre-Clinical and Veterinary Animal Studies

Purpose: To systematically review preclinical studies to determine whether biological sex alters outcomes after severe trauma with hemorrhagic shock (T/HS), identify the mechanistic drivers of any sex dimorphism, and define key gaps that limit translation to critical care. Method...
