Voluntary E-Learning Exercises Support Students in Mastering Statistics

Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2022
AbstractUniversity students often learn statistics in large classes, and in such learning environments, students face an exceptionally high risk of failure. One reason for this is students’ frequent statistics anxiety. This study shows how students can be supported using e-learning exercises with automated knowledge of correct response feedback ...

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Physical Capacity and Activity in Patients With Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

Frontiers in Neurology, 2022
IntroductionMost patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) improve gait after surgery. However, knowledge on physical capacity and activity after shunt surgery is limited.

Measuring the effect of opportunity cost of time on participation in sports and exercise [PDF]

, 2013
This article has been made available through the Brunel Open Access Publishing Fund.Background: There is limited research on the association between opportunity cost of time and sports and exercise due to lack of data on opportunity cost of time. Using a

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

Voluntary exercise is motivated by ghrelin, possibly related to the central reward circuit

Journal of Endocrinology, 2019
We previously reported that voluntary exercise contributed to the amelioration of abnormal feeding behavior with a concomitant restoration of ghrelin production in a rat model of obesity, suggesting a possible relationship between exercise and appetite ...

Voluntary exercise facilitates pair-bonding in male prairie voles [PDF]

Behavioural Brain Research, 2016
The neuropeptides oxytocin and vasopressin have been implicated in exercise, as well as monogamy and parental behavior. In this study, we compared behavioral and neuroendocrine effects of access to an exercise wheel vs. the sedentary state typical in lab animal housing.

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.
