The segmental-based approach during anatomy coursework presents better results than the systems-based approach.

Traditionally, there are two pedagogical approaches to teaching human anatomy. The first is the systems-based approach (study of body systems - bones, muscles, organs - separately) gross anatomy courses and the second is the segmental-based approach (study of body segments - upper and lower limbs and trunk - separately); both are highly recommended. However, to the best of our knowledge, less is known about academic performance comparing the two approaches.

Meta-analytic connectivity perturbation analysis (MACPA): a new method for enhanced precision in fMRI connectivity analysis.

Co-activation of distinct brain areas provides a valuable measure of functional interaction, or connectivity, between them. One well-validated way to investigate the co-activation patterns of a precise area is meta-analytic connectivity modeling (MACM), which performs a seed-based meta-analysis on task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (task-fMRI) data. While MACM stands as a powerful automated tool for constructing robust models of whole-brain human functional connectivity, its inherent limitation lies in its inability to capture the distinct interrelationships among multiple brain regions.

Single-Step Deposition of Chalcopyrite (CuFeS) Thin Films.

Thin films of chalcopyrite, CuFeS, are promising candidates for use as absorber layers in photovoltaic cells due to their low band gap and high absorbance. These films are typically deposited in two or three steps, always involving an annealing process. In this work, the CuFeS film was deposited on a glass substrate in a single deposition step using the cathodic cylindrical plasma deposition (CCyPD) technique.
