The combined effects of goal attributes, motivational beliefs, creativity and grit on self-regulation in online ill-structured problem solving: a fsQCA approach.

Self-regulated learning (SRL) has been regarded as one of the indispensable factors affecting students' academic success in online learning environments. However, the current understanding of the mechanism/causes of SRL in online ill-structured problem-solving remains insufficient. This study, therefore, examines the configural causal effects of goal attributes, motivational beliefs, creativity, and grit on self-regulated learning.

Removal of chlorimuron-ethyl from the environment: The significance of microbial degradation and its molecular mechanism.

Chlorimuron-ethyl is a selective pre- and post-emergence herbicide, which is widely used to control broad-leaved weeds in soybean fields. However, herbicide residues have also increased as a result of the pervasive use of chlorimuron-ethyl, which has become a significant environmental concern. Consequently, the removal of chlorimuron-ethyl residues from the environment has garnered significant attention in recent decades.

The Isolate QL-9a Quenches the Quorum Sensing Signal and Suppresses Plant Soft Rot Disease.

Quorum sensing (QS) is a communication mechanism used among microorganisms that regulate the population density and behavior by sensing the concentration of signaling molecules. Quorum quenching (QQ), a novel, eco-friendly, and efficient method for disease control, interferes with QS by disturbing the production and enzymatic degradation of signaling molecules, blocking communication among microorganisms, and thus has deep potential for use in plant disease control. can cause bacterial soft rot, resulting in yield reduction in a variety of crops worldwide, and can be mediated and regulated by the -acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs), which are typical signaling molecules.

Innovative microbial disease biocontrol strategies mediated by quorum quenching and their multifaceted applications: A review.

With the increasing resistance exhibited by undesirable bacteria to traditional antibiotics, the need to discover alternative (or, at least, supplementary) treatments to combat chemically resistant bacteria is becoming urgent. Quorum sensing (QS) refers to a novel bacterial communication system for monitoring cell density and regulation of a network of gene expression that is mediated by a group of signaling molecules called autoinducers (AIs). QS-regulated multicellular behaviors include biofilm formation, horizontal gene transfer, and antibiotic synthesis, which are demonstrating increasing pathogenicity to plants and aquacultural animals as well as contamination of wastewater treatment devices.

Examining the applications of intelligent tutoring systems in real educational contexts: A systematic literature review from the social experiment perspective.

Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) have a great potential to effectively transform teaching and learning. As more efforts have been put on designing and developing ITSs and integrating them within learning and instruction, mixed types of results about the effectiveness of ITS have been reported. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate how ITSs work in real and natural educational contexts and the associated challenges of ITS application and evaluation.

A novel bacterial strain sp. F25 capable of degrading diffusible signal factor signal shows strong biocontrol potential.

Vast quantities of synthetic pesticides have been widely applied in various fields to kill plant pathogens, resulting in increased pathogen resistance and decreased effectiveness of such chemicals. In addition, the increased presence of pesticide residues affects living organisms and the environment largely on a global scale. To mitigate the impact of crop diseases more sustainably on plant health and productivity, there is a need for more safe and more eco-friendly strategies as compared to chemical prevention.

Bioremediation potential of laccase for catalysis of glyphosate, isoproturon, lignin, and parathion: Molecular docking, dynamics, and simulation.

The present study aimed to investigate the catalytic degradation produced by laccase in the detoxification of glyphosate, isoproturon, lignin polymer, and parathion. We explored laccase-glyphosate, laccase-lignin polymer, laccase-isoproturon, and laccase-parathion using molecular docking (MD) and molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) approaches. The results suggest that laccase interacts well with glyphosate, lignin polymer, isoproturon, and parathion during biodegradation.
