Construction of a novel tumor mutation burden-related mRNA signature for prognosis prediction in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is a common cancer with high mortality and tumor mutation burden (TMB), and high TMB is associated with favorable survival. The expression, mutation, and survival data were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. The mutation and differentially expressed genes were analyzed using limma R package.

Does Fintech affect the psychological traits of managers? Based on the perspective of manager overconfidence.

Overconfidence has undertaken an indispensable role in the psychology of managers and places important significance on managers' behavior and decision-making. This study investigates the effect of Fintech on the psychological traits of managers from the perspective of overconfidence based on the panel data of Chinese A-share non-financial listed firms and the digital inclusive finance index of Chinese prefecture-level cities between 2011 and 2020. The empirical results show that (1) Fintech exerts a negative effect on manager overconfidence; (2) the main channels of the negative effect of Fintech on manager overconfidence include Fintech coverage breadth and Fintech usage depth; (3) for firms with severe financing constraints and lower power concentration, the negative effect of Fintech on manager overconfidence is more prominent; and (4) our benchmark results still hold after a series of robust tests, including IV regression, altering the measurement of Fintech and manager overconfidence, and employing logit model re-estimation.

Experimental Paradigm for Measuring the Effect of Induced Emotion on Grammar Learning.

Previous studies have found that emotion has significant influence on the learning of foreign language vocabulary and textual comprehension. However, little attention has been given to the effect of induced emotion on grammar learning. This research examined the influence of positive induced emotion on the learning of Japanese grammatical rules among a group of learners with Chinese as their native language, using a semi-artificial language (i.

An Experimental Paradigm for Measuring the Effects of Ageing on Sentence Processing.

Previous studies have found that older adults have greater difficulties in processing syntactically complex sentences than younger adults. However, the exact regions where the difficulties arise have not been fully identified. In this study, a maze task was implemented to investigate how older adults and younger adults differentially processed two types of sentences with different levels of syntactic complexity, namely subject relative clauses and object relative clauses.
