Objective: To assess reliability and validity of Revised Biggs Two-Factor Study Process Questionnaire to measure Learning approaches among medical students.
Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted at Shaikh Zayed Medical College, Lahore, Pakistan, from November 15, 2014, to January 15, 2015. The 20-item Revised Biggs Two-Factor Study Process Questionnaire was used to assess medical students enrolled from the first to the final year of their studies. Data was analysed using SPSS 20. The reliability of the questionnaire was assessed by Cronbach's alpha, and confirmatory factor analysis was done to confirm the factor model.
Results: Of the 480 students approached, 284(59.2%) completed the questionnaire. Cronbach's alpha value was found acceptable at 0.79 and 0.72 for the deep approach and surface approach scales respectively. Comparative Fit Index value (0.858) confirmed a good fit for the model.
Conclusions: Revised Biggs Two-Factor Study Process Questionnaire was found to be a reliable and valid instrument to measure learning approaches among medical students.

Department of Clinical and Professional Practice, Nelson R Mandela School of Medicine, College of Health Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal, 719 Umbilo Road, Durban 4001, South Africa.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic prompted the transition of all teaching and learning of final-year General Surgery students to an online platform. Despite the utility of online methods, challenges exist such as a sense of impersonal learning, and poor student engagement. Student engagement with course content is important for deep learning.

Article Synopsis
- Over the past two decades, there has been a growing focus on diagnosing and managing inner ear schwannomas, especially regarding hearing rehabilitation through cochlear implants, but the terminology used to classify these tumors has been inconsistent and complex.
- At the Ninth Quadrennial Conference in May 2023 in Bergen, Norway, experts reached a consensus to standardize terminology, ultimately agreeing on the term "inner ear schwannoma (IES)" to clearly describe tumors affecting the eighth nerve in the cochlea, vestibule, or semicircular canals.
- The newly established classifications break down these tumors into three complexity levels: low (intravestibular, intracochlear), intermediate (with internal
Revised taxonomy of eastern North Pacific killer whales (): Bigg's and resident ecotypes deserve species status.

Article Synopsis
- * The study specifically focuses on two ecotypes in the eastern North Pacific: the resident and Bigg's (transient) killer whales, assessing their ecological roles, physical traits, and genetic data.
- * Findings support classifying both ecotypes as separate species, suggesting that Bigg's killer whales and resident killer whales should receive distinct taxonomic recognition.
The impact of self-directed learning experience and course experience on learning satisfaction of university students in blended learning environments: the mediating role of deep and surface learning approach.
Front Psychol
January 2024
School of International Studies, NingboTech University, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China.
Introduction: With the rapid development of technology and the evolution of educational ideas, the blended learning model has become the new norm in higher education. Therefore, based on Biggs' learning process theory, this study aims to investigate the relationships between learning experience, learning approaches, and learning satisfaction of university students within the Chinese blended learning context to explore the dynamic process and mechanism of blended learning.
Methods: The Chinese modified versions of the Self-Rating Scale of Self-Directed Learning, the Course Experience Questionnaire, and the Revised Study Process Questionnaire were administered to 939 Chinese university first-grade students (444 men, 495 women).

National Heart Lung and Blood Institute's and Boston University's Framingham Heart Study, Framingham, MA, USA.
Introduction: Cardiometabolic risk factors and epigenetic patterns, increased in physically inactive individuals, are associated with an accelerated brain aging process.
Objective: To determine whether cardiometabolic risk factors and epigenetic patterns mediate the association of physical inactivity with unfavorable brain morphology.
Methods: We included dementia and stroke free participants from the Framingham Heart Study Third Generation and Offspring cohorts who had accelerometery and brain MRI data (n = 2,507, 53.
