Background And Aim: The effects of text cohesion and added pictures on acquired knowledge have been heavily studied each in isolation. Furthermore, studies on the effects of specific characteristics of pictures, whether facilitating or hindering, are scarce. Schnotz's ITCP Model (2014) allows to formulate hypotheses regarding the combined effect of text cohesion and presence and level of detail of a picture. This study investigates these hypotheses in the case of children reading scientific texts.
Sample: One hundred and one-second-, third-, and fourth-grade pupils with a mean age of 9 years, in the western United States.
Methods: Data were collected over three sessions to encompass an understanding of each pupil's knowledge based on prior sessions.
Results And Conclusions: Results showed a significant increase in pupils' knowledge between pre-test and immediate post-test, but as hypothesized, no significant difference between levels of cohesion. No significant difference between types of pictures was detected. After 1 week, knowledge built with a high cohesive text significantly dropped with low-detail picture, whereas, with high detail, or no picture, there was no significant difference. Results suggested that when participants were given a low-detail picture with a low cohesive text, the integration process of the material was more restricted than with a high cohesive text.

Co-creation of the Digital Democracy and Data Commons Manifesto: alternative sociotechnical visions of data.
Open Res Eur
October 2024
Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
Amid public concern surrounding the proprietary and exploitative use of personal data by corporations and public institutions, and its consequences from a sociotechnical perspective, narratives around digital commons have recently emerged, framing potential alternatives. This paper presents the co-creation of the Digital Democracy and Data Commons Manifesto through a collaborative writing sprint, drawing on principles of openness, diversity, and inclusivity. The manifesto articulates a technopolitical vision for data governance that prioritizes community control over data.

Background: Despite growing use, questions remain surrounding the utility, acceptability and feasibility of chemical adherence testing (CAT) as part of hypertension management in clinical practice.
Objectives: This scoping review aimed to (i) identify and summarise studies using CAT in hypertension management, and (ii) describe and critically evaluate how CAT is currently being used in the clinical management of hypertension.
Eligibility Criteria: Peer-reviewed and published studies in English, reporting original research in any setting, with any study design, were included.
Cost-Effective DNA Storage System with DNA Movable Type.
Adv Sci (Weinh)
November 2024
China National Center for Bioinformation, Beijing, 100101, China.
Article Synopsis
- DNA-based storage is a promising solution for managing the exponential growth of big data, but traditional methods are costly and inefficient due to one-time-use synthesis for each data file.
- A new system called "DNA-movable-type storage" leverages prefabricated DNA segments that can be assembled into data blocks, significantly streamlining the process and allowing for multi-format data storage and retrieval.
- This innovative approach offers dramatic cost savings by enabling each DNA segment to be reused up to 10,000 times, ultimately making it a more efficient option for meeting the extensive storage demands of today's data-driven world.
LRRC45 accelerates bladder cancer development and ferroptosis inhibition via stabilizing NRF2 by competitively KEAP1 interaction.

Centrosomal dysregulation is closely linked to the genesis and progression of tumors. A comprehensive analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data has revealed that leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 45 (LRRC45), a centrosome linker protein crucial for maintaining centrosome cohesion and a member of the leucine-rich repeat-containing proteins (LRRCs) family, is significantly upregulated in bladder cancer. Notably, the elevated expression levels of LRRC45 were strongly correlated with a poor prognosis in patients.
