Background: We reassessed the perception of all undergraduate students in Taibah medical college regarding the educational environment during the academic year 2010-2011 and compared it with the assessment carried out three years earlier in order to identify the change over time from previous assessment.
Method: In the present prospective study, the validated 50-item Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM) inventory was collected from medical students of basic phase (n = 302) and clinical phase (n = 222) and compared the scores of students' responses with those of previous assessment 3 years earlier.
Results: In the year 2007/2008 DREEM inventory scored 109.1/200 and scored 120.70/200 (p ≤ 0.0001) in the year 2010/2011. There was an interesting inclination of female students towards a more positively perceived learning environment as compared to male students (26/48 versus 24/48, p < 0.03). There were statistically significant differences in all domain components of DREEM between the academic years 2007/2008 and 2010/2011.
Conclusions: DREEM helped pinpoint areas of change in students' perception regarding many aspects of the educational environment. It also helped to identify areas that are still in need of improvement by the college's administration and staff. DREEM inventory can be used to monitor change over time in the educational environment.

Purpose: This study aims to examine the associations of phonological, lexical, and grammatical skills within and between languages in Mandarin-English bilingual preschoolers.
Method: Sixty-three Singaporean Mandarin-English bilingual children aged 3-5 years were assessed for articulation, receptive vocabulary, and receptive grammar using standardized instruments in English and compatible tools in Mandarin. Regression analyses were performed on each language outcome, with other language variables as predictors, controlling for age, nonverbal working memory, and home language environment.

Deficiency or excess of mineral elements in the environment is a primary factor limiting crop yields and nutritional quality. Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is an important aquatic crop in Asia, but the mechanism for accumulating mineral nutrients and coping with nutrient deficiency/excess is still largely unknown. Here, we identified NnMTP10, a member of the cation diffusion facilitator family, by screening the cDNA library of lotus.

Soil salinity poses a significant environmental challenge for the growth and development of blueberries. However, the specific mechanisms by which blueberries respond to salt stress are still not fully understood. Here, we employed a comprehensive approach integrating physiological, metabolomic, and transcriptomic analyses to identify key metabolic pathways in blueberries under salt stress.

Ultrahigh nickel cathode materials are widely utilized due to their outstanding energy and power densities. However, the presence of cobalt can cause significant lattice distortion during charge and discharge cycles, leading to the loss of active lithium, the formation of lattice cracks, and the emergence of a rock salt phase that hinders lithium-ion transport. Herein, we developed a novel cobalt-free, aluminum-doped cathode material, LiNiMnAlO (NMA), which effectively delays the harmful H2-H3 phase transition, reduces lattice distortion, alleviates stress release, and significantly enhances structural stability.
