Language Mindset and Discipline Mindset Both Matter: Exploring the Effect of Growth Mindset on Motivation and Willingness to Communicate in EMI Higher Education

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In English medium instruction (EMI), students face cognitive and emotional demands in second language (L2) communication, which may hamper their motivation and willingness to communicate (WTC). Adopting a mixed‐methods design, this study explores how growth mindsets affected student motivation (e.g., ideal L2 self and ideal disciplinary self ...

The Motivation–Grit–Achievement Relationship in L2 Reading and Listening: Focusing on the Ideal L2 Self

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the robustness of the motivation–grit–achievement relationship in second language (L2) reading and listening, extending previous research conducted on writing and speaking. To address increasing concerns regarding the validity of the binary‐type ideal self scale, the motivation variable is redefined using a better‐validated

Second Language Interactional Competence in Roleplay: Comparing Generative Artificial Intelligence and Human Interlocutors

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores the potential of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) as an alternative to human interlocutors for assessing interactional competence (IC) in a second language (L2). Thirty L2 English speakers completed a 6‐item roleplay task designed to elicit refusals of requests, invitations, and offers, interacting with both a ...

Impact‐diagnostic criteria for use in confirming a meteorite impact origin of terrestrial geological structures: Recommendations by the Impact Cratering Committee of the Meteoritical Society

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The framework of the Impact Cratering Committee (ICC) of the Meteoritical Society was approved in 2020, with the first committee members appointed in 2023. The ICC has a mandate to (1) approve, maintain, and update a database of confirmed terrestrial meteorite impact structures, (2) define and regularly update the criteria used for ...

Online Writing Behaviors, Writing Outcomes, and Task Complexity in Computer‐Assisted Collaborative Writing

The Modern Language Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examined how online writing behaviors aggregated at the pair level were related to writing outcomes in computer‐assisted collaborative writing and how task complexity moderated these relationships. The participants were 56 Chinese university students with advanced English proficiency. They were randomly organized into 28 pairs. Each

Revisiting the Molecular Roadmap for Sugar Crops: Genome Reading, Trait Writing and Variety Redesigning

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sugar crops, including but not limited to sugarcane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum and stevia, are major sources of sugar production in the world. However, conventional breeding approaches, limited by long breeding cycles, low efficiency and restricted capacity to improve complex traits in sugar crops, are increasingly insufficient to address the ...

Calcium and Nitrogen Availability Controls Root Exudation in Hydroponically Cultured Barley

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Root exudation is a key component of plant‐rhizosphere interactome. It is increasingly evident that root exudates influence rhizospheric microbial communities and in turn can benefit plants through improved resource allocation. However, how suboptimal nutrient availability relates to control of root exudation is poorly understood.

Heat treatment combined with hybrid exercises retraining mitigates cellular markers of protein turnover after hindlimb suspension in male mice: A pilot study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent evidence suggests that heat treatment (HT) and resistance training can limit skeletal muscle mass loss during immobilization. However, the effects of repeated HT sessions combined with hybrid exercises (EX), which promote both endurance and resistance responses, on muscle protein turnover following hindlimb unloading (HU) remain ...

Stac2 genetic deletion alters mouse chromaffin cells’ CaV channel composition, increases membrane excitability and reduces vesicle exocytosis

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Stac2 adaptor protein is expressed in neurons and endocrine cells. Using a global Stac2 knockout mouse model here we investigated the role of endogenous Stac2 in adrenal gland mouse chromaffin cell (MCC) excitability and catecholamine vesicle exocytosis.
