Aim: This study evaluated the relationship of student input and throughput variables in a mastery learning baccalaureate nursing programme to licensure success.
Design: This study used a quantitative, correlational design.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of records of 367 graduates over a 6-year period tested the relationship of pass rate on the licensing examination to six variables: overall pre-admission grade point average, entrance assessment scores, interview scores, remediation, programme length and exit assessment using point-biserial correlations, and chi-square analysis and logistic regression analysis.
Results: Overall pre-admission grade point average, entrance assessment scores, interview scores and exit assessment scores were positively correlated with student success. Although remediation and programme length were not correlated with success, 87% of the students participated in remediation. Most students (95%) successfully passed the Registered Nurse licence examination on their first attempt. While specific criteria were related to student success, further research is needed to determine the role of remediation.

Background: Graduate nursing students often face challenges in team-based projects due to diverse backgrounds and learning styles. Team charter development is helpful for making expectations clear, but it misses a critical step of self-reflection and shared understanding that can further improve team functioning.
Method: This innovation integrated a communication needs reflection exercise, based on the Birkman Method, into team charter meetings in a graduate-level course.
Anaerobic Adhesive Effect on the Counter-Torque of Zirconia Implant Abutment Screws: In Vitro Study.

Introduction: Implantology has become a primary solution for tooth loss due to excellent osseointegration and high long-term success rates. However, complications such as abutment screw loosening, especially in implant-supported single crowns, compromise prosthesis longevity. Anaerobic adhesives (AAs) have shown promise in mechanical fields for preventing screw loosening, but their effectiveness in dental implants, particularly zirconia, remains uncertain.

Stress responses in real-world settings are less studied compared to controlled laboratory environments, limiting our understanding of their impact on cognitive performance. This study investigates the relationship between physiological stress signals and academic performance using an open-access dataset of 10 students assessed across three exam sessions (Midterm 1, Midterm 2, and Final Exam). Physiological measures, including electrodermal activity (EDA), heart rate (HR), and skin surface temperature (TEMP), along with exam grades, were analyzed using traditional hypothesis testing, bootstrap method, correlation analysis, and regression tree modeling.

Background: The transition from primary to secondary school presents a challenging developmental milestone which often marks a decline in academic performance. Social-emotional skills are recognized as fundamental to academic success but longitudinal research is needed to determine the extent of their association over this transition period.
Aim: This study sought to determine the association between self-reported social-emotional competencies of students in their final year of primary school (Year 6; age ~11 years) and reading and numeracy performance in their first year of secondary school (Year 7; age ~12 years).
