This dataset contains evaluation results from video game-based assessments administered to first-level university students across six different academic programs at Universidad Indoamérica from October 2022 to August 2024. The data were collected using an adapted version of Pacman through the ClassTools.net platform, where traditional quiz questions were integrated into gameplay mechanics.

Introduction: The prognostic value of PAM50 intrinsic subtypes (IS), cell cycle, and immune-related gene expression in HR+ /HER2- advanced breast cancer (BC) treated with CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) and endocrine therapy (ET) in a first-line metastatic setting is unclear. This study evaluates these biomarkers in metastatic biopsies from patients diagnosed with HR+ /HER2- advanced BC.

Methods: CDK-PREDICT study is a multicentric, ambispective observational cohort study conducted in six Spanish hospitals.

Hydrological studies depend heavily on environmental variables, such as precipitation and resulting runoff, which exhibit highly seasonal and intermittent behaviour in semiarid basins. In these basins, the use of traditional methods to adjust biases in time series projections can lead to inaccurate results regarding the impacts of climate change. This study introduces a non-stationary bias adjustment methodology (NS) specifically designed for environmental variables characterized by sporadic events and substantial intensity variability, such as precipitation.

Ticks represent important vectors of a number of bacterial and viral disease agents, owing to their hematophagous nature and their questing behavior (the process in which they seek new hosts). Questing activity is notably seasonal with spatiotemporal dynamics that needs to be understood in detail as part of mediating and mitigating tick-borne disease risk. Models of the geography of tick questing activity developed to date, however, have ignored the temporal dimensions of that behavior; more fundamentally, they have often not considered the sampling underlying available occurrence data.

Article Synopsis
  • Traditional hardiness zones for plants mainly focus on surviving cold winter conditions, overlooking other critical stressors like summer heat and humidity.
  • This study proposes a new framework for defining hardiness zones that includes factors like heat, cold, dryness, and moisture to better address plant challenges related to climate change.
  • The research specifically examines 872 tree species in the U.S. to enhance our understanding of how different climatic conditions impact plant health, aiming to inform horticultural and agricultural practices.
