AI Article Synopsis

  • Distance education requires teachers to create supportive learning environments where students can connect safely and respectfully, reflecting interpretive pedagogies.
  • For contemporary nurses, knowing and connecting with team members and patients online is crucial for fostering community and achieving effective outcomes.
  • Emphasizing Concernful Practices is essential for preparing students for modern practice environments, as it helps them engage meaningfully beyond traditional face-to-face interactions.

Article Abstract

As a teacher involved in distance education, being a supportive presence includes attending to and facilitating students' knowing and connecting with other. This creates places for learning that are safe, fair, and respectful, which reflects the concerns of the interpretive pedagogies (Diekelmann & Diekelmann, in press). Reflecting a larger issue is the importance of contemporary nurses' knowing and connecting with other team members, and with patients, online in ways that engender community and achieve desired outcomes. With this in mind, attending to the Concernful Practices that enable students to know and connect in ways other than face-to-face encounters becomes even more relevant in preparing for today's practice environments.

Traditional ecological and human health risk assessment often relies on deterministic frameworks that preclude the presence of variability or uncertainty among input parameters characterizing exposure, effects, and risk. To promote increased realism and generate more robust risk management decisions, probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) has been introduced as a foundational grouping of techniques that seeks to broadly characterize variability among its components. While multiple methods exist (e.

Prion Protein Endoproteolysis: Cleavage Sites, Mechanisms and Connections to Prion Disease.

J Neurochem

Centre for Prions and Protein Folding Diseases, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada.

Highly abundant in neurons, the cellular prion protein (PrP) is an obligatory precursor to the disease-associated misfolded isoform denoted PrP that accumulates in the rare neurodegenerative disorders referred to either as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) or as prion diseases. The ability of PrP to serve as a substrate for this template-mediated conversion process depends on several criteria but importantly includes the presence or absence of certain endoproteolytic events performed at the cell surface or in acidic endolysosomal compartments. The major endoproteolytic events affecting PrP are referred to as α- and β-cleavages, and in this review we outline the sites within PrP at which the cleavages occur, the mechanisms potentially responsible and their relevance to pathology.

In the presence of stressful environments, the SKN-1 cytoprotective transcription factor is activated to induce the expression of gene targets that can restore homeostasis. However, chronic activation of SKN-1 results in diminished health and a reduction of lifespan. Here we demonstrate the necessity of modulating SKN-1 activity to maintain the longevity-promoting effects associated with genetic mutations that impair daf-2/insulin receptor signaling, the eat-2 model of dietary restriction, and glp-1-dependent loss of germ cell proliferation.

Unlabelled: (Mtb) exhibits an impressive ability to adapt to rapidly changing environments, despite its genome's apparent stability. Recently, phase variation through indel formation in homopolymeric tracts (HT) has emerged as a potentially important mechanism promoting adaptation in Mtb. This study examines the impact of common phase variants associated with the ESX-1 type VII secretion system, focusing on a highly variable HT upstream of the ESX-1 regulatory factor, .
