Any discussion comparing different models with respect to their quality qua models must presuppose a notion of model, that is, what it is to be a model. While Webb provides seven criteria to assess the quality of various proposed biorobotic models, she does not clarify the very notion of "model of animal behavior" itself.

The use of respiratory patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) in the management of COPD: Perceptions of Australian osteopaths.
Complement Ther Clin Pract
November 2024
Faculty of Health, Southern Cross University, Lismore, Australia.
Background: Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) are widely used to capture patients' perspectives of their health status and treatment outcomes and to enable practitioners to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions. The aim of this study was to explore Australian osteopaths' perceptions of the use of respiratory PROMS in the management of chronic lung conditions.
Methods: This study drew on the social ecological model (SEM), which highlights the interdependence of contextual structures and processes.
Social construction of the image of the psychologist and of the patient: the role of implicit premises.

Nowadays, there is a growing consideration of people's mental health through awareness programs, policies, and practices promoted by international aid agencies and non-governmental organizations. Psychologists and patients are major actors in mental health, and their images are socially co-constructed. Nevertheless, there is still a lot of confusion about who "psychologists" and "patients" are or what a psychologist does.

September 2022
College of Humanities and Arts, Tianjin University of Finance and Economics Pearl River College, Tianjin, China.
This study aims to (1) develop and validate the four-dimension model hypothesis of deep learning to better understand deep learning in language education; (2) investigate and promote deep learning by conducting a survey involving 533 college students in the online learning English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching context in China. Concretely, this study initially synthesized theoretical insights from deep learning in the education domain and related theories in the second language acquisition and thus proposed the four-dimension model hypothesis of deep learning involving the motivation of deep learning, the engagement of deep learning, the strategy of deep learning, and the directional competence of deep learning. This study subsequently undertook a questionnaire survey utilizing a standardized instrument to confirm the model hypothesis and further investigate the current status and salient differences in students' deep learning in online EFL teaching.

Amyloid fibrils are thought to grow by a two-step dock-lock mechanism. However, previous simulations of fibril formation (i) overlook the bi-molecular nature of the docking step and obtain rates with first-order units, or (ii) superimpose the docked and locked states when computing the potential of mean force for association and thereby muddle the docking and locking steps. Here, we developed a simple microkinetic model with separate locking and docking steps and with the appropriate concentration dependences for each step.

Purpose: The development of inhaled drug products is expensive and involves time-consuming pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) studies. There are few in vitro cell-based assays to evaluate the disposition and action of orally inhaled drugs to guide early product development and minimise risk. The aim of the present study was to develop a co-culture bioassay, combining an airway epithelial cell line (Calu-3) with cultured human primary airway smooth muscle cells (ASM), integrated with apparatus to deliver pharmaceutical aerosols.
