Article Synopsis
  • The flipped classroom model is gaining popularity for its effectiveness in enhancing student learning by creating more engaging learning environments.
  • This study involved 55 students and their instructors, using a mixed-methods approach to assess improvements in behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement.
  • Findings indicated that the flipped classroom significantly boosted student engagement through active participation, improved interactions, and better knowledge acquisition, suggesting further research with larger samples could be beneficial.

Introduction: Delayed graft function (DGF) is often defined as the need for dialysis treatment in the first week after a kidney transplantation. This definition, though readily applicable, is generic and unable to distinguish between "types" of DGF or time needed to recover function that may also significantly affect longer-term outcomes. We aimed to profile biological pathways in donation after circulatory death (DCD) kidney donors that correlate with DGF and different DGF durations.

The utilization of kidneys from donors with acute kidney injury (AKI) is often limited by unpredictable post-transplantation outcomes. The aim of our study was to identify protein mediators implicated in either recovery or failure of these organs. Forty kidney biopsies from donors with (20) and without AKI (20) were selected and then subdivided according to the post-transplant outcome defined as a threshold of 45 ml/min for the eGFR at 1 year from transplantation.

Climate change and damage to the environment, as well as the limitations of fossil fuels, have pushed governments to explore infinite renewable energy options such as biofuels. Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) is a sustainable energy device that transforms biofuels into power and heat. It is now being researched to function at intermediate temperatures (600-700 °C) in order to prevent material deterioration and improve system life span.
