Self-regulatory skills are increasingly recognized as critical early education goals, but few efforts have been made to identify all the features of the classroom that actually promote such skills. This study experiments with a new observational measure capturing three dimensions of the classroom environment hypothesized to influence self-regulation: classroom management, emotionally supportive interactions, and direct promotion of self-regulatory skills. These classroom dimensions were tested as predictors of change over the kindergarten year in both self-regulatory and academic skills in a sample of racially/ethnically-diverse low-income children in Tulsa, OK. Results showed that classroom management was associated with small gains in one of four measures of self-regulation, and four of six measures of academic skills. The other dimensions of the environment had weak or no associations with outcomes. These results indicate that further work is needed to refine both models and measures of the self-regulatory environment.

Introduction: In order to identify effective strategies for enhancing a high-quality physical education system, it is imperative to undertake research that examines the nuances of educational culture, specifically focusing on the psychological experiences of early adolescents within physical education classes. This study aims to compare self-determination, peer-relationships, and feelings of alienation in physical education among adolescents from Korea and China, both situated in East Asia, with respect to their nationality and gender.
Methods: One hundred and twenty two early adolescent males ( = 14.
Platelets fulfill their essential physiological roles sensing the extracellular environment through their membrane proteins. The native membrane environment provides essential regulatory cues that impact the protein structure and mechanism of action. Single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has transformed structural biology by allowing high-resolution structures of membrane proteins to be solved from homogeneous samples.

Humans' sense of the passage of time is subjective and determined by psychophysiological responses to the environment. The passing of time has been perceived to significantly slow in stressful situations, such as accidents or virtual threats. The current study will explore distortions in the perception of passage of time when threat is simulated using virtual reality (VR).

Climate change and the trophic status of water bodies are important factors in global occurrence of cyanobacterial blooms. The aim of this study was to explore the cyanobacteria‒bacterial interactions that occur during Raphidiopsis raciborskii (R. raciborskii) blooms by conducting microcosm simulation experiments at different temperatures (20 °C and 30 °C) and with different phosphorus concentrations (0.
