Nuances of an In-Between Space of Learning Through Auditory Approaches in Early Piano Instruction.

Musical experiences in early piano instruction tend to be led by visual-based methods, limiting opportunities to develop aural abilities for children to understand music. This study examines the exploratory behaviour of music listening through auditory approaches that support visual-based methods to foster musical comprehension. Drawing from case studies of young music learners between the ages of 7 and 8, qualitative data were collected through lesson observations, interviews, game-based assessments, and performance evaluations of a prepared piece.

The modified role including mediating and synergistic interactive effects of glucose tolerance status in the associations between relative fat mass and the risks of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality from the 4C cohort study.

Background: To investigate the associations between relative fat mass (RFM) and clinical outcomes in different glucose tolerance statuses and the modified effect of glucose tolerance status.

Methods: We analyzed 8,224 participants from a Chinese cohort study, who were classified into normal glucose status (NGT), prediabetes, and diabetes. Outcomes included fatal, nonfatal cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and all-cause mortality.

Association between estimated glucose disposal rate and kidney function decline in different glucose tolerance statuses from the 4 C study.

Aims: To investigate the association between estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) and kidney function decline among populations with different glucose tolerance statuses including normal glucose tolerance (NGT), prediabetes, and diabetes.

Methods: The present study analyzed 5,069 participants from a cohort study. The association between eGDR and kidney function decline was assessed using binary logistic regression.

Impact of Learning Adjustment Dimensions on Depressive Symptoms Among Chinese Nursing Freshmen: The Mediating Role of Psychological Capital.

Purpose: To examine the influence of learning adjustment dimensions (motivation, attitude, ability, teaching pattern, and environment) on depressive symptoms in Chinese nursing freshmen, and the mediating role of psychological capital.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 471 nursing freshmen at a university in May 2024. The anonymous self-reported questionnaire included the Patient Health Questionnaire, the Learning Adjustment Questionnaire, and the Psychological Capital Questionnaire.

The mediating role of remnant cholesterol in the associations of Angiopoietin-like 8 with all-cause, CVD, and cancer death: the China Cardiometabolic Disease and Cancer Cohort (4C) study.

Purpose: To investigate the potential mediating effect of remnant cholesterol (RC) in the associations between angiopoietin-like 8 (ANGPTL8) and the risk of all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and cancer death.

Methods: This prospective observational study included 3278 individuals from China. Binary logistic regression and mediation analyses were conducted to investigate the mediating effect of RC in the associations between ANGPTL8 and all-cause, CVD, and cancer death.
