Future teachers’ spontaneous use of analogies in explaining concepts [PDF]

Zbornik Instituta za pedagoška istraživanja, 2018
The use of analogies in teaching can significantly enhance its efficiency. Therefore, it is important for future teachers to master the basic skills of the successful use of analogies even during their pre-service education.

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Nutrient/TOR signaling controls adipose mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) to regulate organismal growth in Drosophila

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

Rhetoric and Analogies [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2013
The art of rhetoric may be defined as changing other people's minds (opinions, beliefs) without providing them new information. One tech- nique heavily used by rhetoric employs analogies. Using analogies, one may draw the listener's attention to similarities between cases and to re-organize existing information in a way that highlights certain reg ...

Golgi enzymes are retrieved from the plasma membrane to the trans‐Golgi network

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Golgi enzymes are traditionally considered resident proteins retained within the Golgi apparatus. Here, we demonstrate that a subset transiently reaches the cell surface and is subsequently retrieved to the trans‐Golgi network via retrograde transport. Using a nanobody‐based toolkit, we uncover a dynamic trafficking cycle of several Golgi enzymes.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Impact of Analogies and Metaphors in Propagating Misconceptions in Chemical Education

Shodh Sari
Analogies and metaphors have been used as teaching tools in chemical education to make complex concepts easier to understand. While they help students grasp ideas at first, these language and visual aids can also create lasting misconceptions that make ...

Analog reducibility

Journal of Logic and Computation, 2021
Abstract In this paper we introduce and characterize two ‘analog reducibility’ notions for $[0,1]$-valued oracles on $\omega $ obtained by applying the syntactic characterizations of Turing and enumeration reducibility in terms of (positive) relatively $\varSigma _1$ and $\varPi _1$ formulas to formulas in continuous logic (Ben Yaacov ...
