Parental Attitudes toward Gifted Students and Gifted Education: Attitude Profiles and Predictors.

In this study, an investigation was conducted into the types of attitudes that parents may have of gifted students and gifted education, and the predictors of these attitudes. Using data collected from 331 parents of students enrolled in a Christian faith-based school system in one of the eight states/territories of Australia, multiple analyses, including exploratory factor analysis and latent profile analysis, were performed. The results revealed three subgroups of parents, each representing distinct attitude profiles (i.

Dry-Electrode All-Solid-State Batteries Fortified with a Moisture Absorbent.

For realizing all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs), it is highly desirable to develop a robust solid electrolyte (SE) that has exceptional ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability at room temperature. While argyrodite-type LiPSCl (LPSCl) SE has garnered attention for its relatively high ionic conductivity (∼3.19 × 10 S cm), it tends to emit hydrogen sulfide (HS) in the presence of moisture, which can hinder the performance of ASSBs.

The identification of exceptional skills in school-age autistic children: Prevalence, misconceptions and the alignment of informant perspectives.

Background: Although autism is commonly described in terms of deficits, many autistic individuals have been found to demonstrate exceptional skills. The shift to a strengths-based approach in the field of autism necessitates increased understanding of these skills.

Aims: This study examined (1) rates of exceptional skills in autistic school-age children as reported by parents and teachers, (2) associations between exceptional skills, autism severity and intellectual disability and (3) correlations between parent and teacher reports of exceptional skills.

Beneficial Role of Inherently Formed Residual Lithium Compounds on the Surface of Ni-Rich Cathode Materials for All-Solid-State Batteries.

This study validates the beneficial role of residual Li compounds on the surface of Ni-rich cathode materials (LiNiCoMnO, NCM). Residual Li compounds on Ni-rich NCM are naturally formed during the synthesis procedure, which degrades the initial Coulombic efficiency and generates slurry gelation during electrode fabrication in Li-ion batteries (LIBs) using liquid electrolytes. To solve this problem, washing pretreatment is usually introduced to remove residual Li compounds on the NCM surface.

Physical giftedness/talent: A systematic review of the literature on identification and development.

In this study, a systematic review was undertaken of the international scholarly literature on the identification and development of giftedness/talent in the physical domain, to establish the scope of current knowledge in the area. To identify relevant research, a search that involved the creation of a search string and the manual examination of the titles and abstracts of potentially relevant research, was conducted using two databases- and -and six inclusion/exclusion criteria (i.e.

Tailoring the Surface of Natural Graphite with Functional Metal Oxides via Facile Crystallization for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Graphite is the most popular anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to its high reversibility and stable cycling performance. With the rapid growth of the global electric vehicle (EV) market, it has become necessary to improve the quick-charge performance of graphite to reduce the charging time of LIBs. Therefore, from a structural viewpoint, it is crucial to control interfacial reactions and stabilize the surface of graphite to improve the sluggish interfacial kinetics.

The identification of gifted underachievement: Validity evidence for the commonly used methods.

Background: Much confusion exists about the underachievement of gifted students due to significant variations in how the phenomenon has been identified. From a review of the literature, five methods were found to be commonly used to identify gifted underachievement.

Aims: The purpose of the study was to assess the equivalence of the commonly used methods to identify gifted underachievement, and to determine which of these methods may be optimal.

Swelling-Controlled Double-Layered SiO/MgSiO/SiO Composite with Enhanced Initial Coulombic Efficiency for Lithium-Ion Battery.

Si-based anode materials are considered as potential materials for high-energy lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with the advantages of high specific capacities and low operating voltages. However, significant initial capacity loss and large volume variations during cycles are the primary restrictions for the practical application of Si-based anodes. Herein, we propose an affordable and scalable synthesis of double-layered SiO/MgSiO/SiO composites through the magnesiothermic reduction of micro-sized SiO with Mg metal powder at 750 °C for 2 h.

Inhibitory effects of traditional herbal formula pyungwi-san on inflammatory response in vitro and in vivo.

Pyungwi-san (PWS) is a traditional basic herbal formula. We investigated the effects of PWS on induction of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF- α )) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF- κ B) as well as mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in lipopolysaccharide-(LPS-) induced Raw 264.7 cells and on paw edema in rats.
