Background: Students can take different approaches to using online learning technologies: deep and surface. It is important to understand the relationship between instructor role and student approaches to using online learning technologies in online learning settings supported by cloud computing techniques.

Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted to analyze the relationships between medical students' perceptions of instructor role (instructor support, instructor-student interaction, and instructor innovation) and students' approaches to using online learning technologies in cloud-based virtual classrooms. A 25-item online questionnaire along with a sheet with basic demographic was administered to all medical students at Qilu Medical Schools of Shandong University China. Overall, 213 of 4000 medical students (5.34%) at the medical school participated in the survey.

Results: The results showed high levels of medical students' perceived instructor support, instructor-student interaction and instructor innovation. Most students adopted the deep approaches to using online learning technologies. Instructor support, instructor-student interaction and innovation were positively related to students' deep approaches to using online learning technologies. Instructor support was negatively related to students' surface approaches to using online learning technologies.

Conclusions: The relationship between instructor role (instructor support, instructor-student interaction and instructor innovation) and students' approaches to using online learning technologies highlight the importance of instructor support and innovation in facilitating students' adoption of desirable approaches to learning from the application of technologies.

Genetic diversity and population structure of cowpea mutant collection using SSR and ISSR molecular markers.

Sci Rep

December 2024

Laboratoire Campus de Biotechnologies Végétales, Département de Biologie Végétale, Faculté des Sciences et Techniques, Université Cheikh Anta Diop, Dakar-Fann, Dakar, 10700, Senegal.

Cowpea is a seed legume, important for food and nutritional security in Africa's arid and semi-arid zones. Despite its importance, cowpea is experiencing a loss of genetic diversity due to climate change. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the genetic variability of 33 cowpea mutant collections using 20 SSR and 13 ISSR markers.

Clustering Cu-S based compounds using periodic table representation and compositional Wasserstein distance.

Sci Rep

December 2024

Key Laboratory of Computing Power Network and Information Security, Shandong Computer Science Center (National Supercomputing Center in Jinan), Ministry of Education, Qilu University of Technology (Shandong Academy of Sciences), Jinan, 250013, Shandong, P. R. China.

Crystal structure similarity is useful for the chemical analysis of nowadays big materials databases and data mining new materials. Here we propose to use two-dimensional Wasserstein distance (earth mover's distance) to measure the compositional similarity between different compounds, based on the periodic table representation of compositions. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, 1586 Cu-S based compounds are taken from the inorganic crystal structure database (ICSD) to form a validation dataset.

The height of the water-conducting fracture zones (WCFZ) is crucial for ensuring safe coal mining beneath aquifers, particularly considering the secondary development of the WCFZ in upper seams due to repeated mining in close distance coal seams. Accurately predicting this height is essential for mine safety, groundwater protection, and optimal coal resource use. This study compiles extensive measured data from various mining areas in China to analyze the coupling relationship between the WCFZ development height and six influencing factors: mining thickness, mining depth, coal seam spacing, hard rock lithology ratio, and the slope length of working face.

Managed honeybees and soil nitrogen availability interactively modulate sunflower production in intensive agricultural landscapes of China.

J Econ Entomol

Insects provide important pollination services for cops. While land use intensification has resulted in steep declines of wild pollinator diversity across agricultural landscapes, releasing managed honeybees has been proposed as a countermeasure. However, it remains uncertain whether managed honeybees can close the pollination gap of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.

Background: With the continuous progress and in-depth implementation of the reform of the medical and health care system, alongside the gradual enhancement of the standardized training framework for residents, such training has become a crucial avenue for cultivating high-level clinicians and improving medical quality. However, due to various constraints and limitations in their own capabilities, residents undergoing standardized training are often susceptible to job burnout during this process. Numerous factors contribute to job burnout, which is closely associated with depression and anxiety.
