A machine-learning model of academic resilience in the times of the COVID-19 pandemic: Evidence drawn from 79 countries/economies in the PISA 2022 mathematics study.

Background: Given that students from socio-economically disadvantaged family backgrounds are more likely to suffer from low academic performance, there is an interest in identifying features of academic resilience, which may mitigate the relationship between disadvantaged socio-economic status and academic performance.

Aims: This study sought to combine machine learning and explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) technique to identify key features of academic resilience in mathematics learning during COVID-19.

Materials And Methods: Based on PISA 2022 data in 79 countries/economies, the random forest model coupled with Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) value technique not only uncovered the key features of academic resilience but also examined the contributions of each key feature.

Effects of a nurse-led motor function rehabilitation training program for patients with ischemic stroke and family caregivers: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Both individuals and society bear a considerable burden from ischemic stroke (IS), not only do patients continue suffering from motor dysfunction after discharge from hospital, but their caregivers also undertake the principal responsibility of assisting them in reintegrating into the family and society. To better improve the IS patients' limb function and daily life activities, their caregivers should also be involved in the training of the motor function rehabilitation during the period transitioning from hospital back home. This study mainly aims to investigate the effects of a nurse-led training for IS patients and their family caregivers on the improvement of the patients' physical function and the burden of caregivers.

The combination of creatine kinase-myocardial band isoenzyme and point-of-care cardiac troponin/ contemporary cardiac troponin for the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.

Background: The early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains challenging, especially for institutions without the high-sensitive cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assay. Herein, we aim to assess the value of creatine kinase-myocardial band isoenzyme (CK-MB) combined with different cardiac troponin (cTn) assays in AMI diagnosis.

Methods: This multicenter, observational study included 3,706 patients with acute chest pain from September 1, 2015, to September 30, 2017.

Analysis of potential factors contributing to refusal of invasive strategy after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in China.

Background: Reduced application of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with higher mortality rates after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We aimed to evaluate potential factors contributing to the refusal of PCI in STEMI patients in China.

Methods: We studied 957 patients diagnosed with STEMI in the emergency departments (EDs) of six public hospitals in China.

A Mutation in Causing Inefficient Galactose Metabolism in the Probiotic Yeast Saccharomyces boulardii.

The probiotic yeast has been extensively studied for the prevention and treatment of diarrheal diseases, and it is now commercially available in some countries. displays notable phenotypic characteristics, such as a high optimal growth temperature, high tolerance against acidic conditions, and the inability to form ascospores, which differentiate from The majority of prior studies stated that exhibits sluggish or halted galactose utilization. Nonetheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying inefficient galactose uptake have yet to be elucidated.

A Dual-Functional Luminescent MOF Sensor for Phenylmethanol Molecule and Tb Cation.

A highly luminescent porous metal-organic framework Cd(L)(4-PTZ)(DMF), labeled as NBU-9, has been designedly synthesized based on Cd(NO)·4HO and mixed ligands of 4-(1 H-tetrazol-5-yl)pyridine (4-HPTZ) with N-coordinated sites and thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (HL) with heteroatomic (S) ring and carboxylate groups in N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) at 100 °C for 3 days. The interesting result is that this compound NBU-9 can be also obtained via the mixed raw materials of Cd(NO)·4HO, 4-cyanopyridine, NaN, and HL under solvothermal condition at a higher temperature of 140 °C for 3 days, involving in situ ligand synthesis of 4-HPTZ. Its structure was indentified by single-crystal X-ray study, powder X-ray diffraction, element analysis, and TGA results.
