Article Abstract

Role plays are extremely valuable tools to address different aspects of teaching social responsibility, because they allow students to "live through" complex ethical decision making dilemmas. While role plays are getting high marks from students because their entertainment value is high, their educational value depends on their closeness to students' work experience and the skills of the teacher in helping students comprehend the lessons they are meant to convey.

Population genetics plays a critical role in creating policies for managing fisheries, conservation, and development of aquaculture. The golden snapper, Lutjanus johnii (Bloch, 1792), is a highly commercial and aquaculture important snapper species. This study used mitochondrial markers D-loop (151 specimens) and Cytochrome b (Cyt-b, 120 specimens) from 10 populations, including populations from the east South China Sea, the west South China Sea and the Strait of Malacca to investigate the genetic diversity, population connectivity, and historical demography of L.

Bifidobacteria are naturally found in the human gut and quickly establish dominance shortly after birth, playing a crucial role in the development and stability of the infant gut microbiota. A growing body of research suggests that host and environmental factors shape the colonization and the relative abundance of bifidobacteria in the infant gut during early life. Understanding the factors that influence bifidobacterial colonization and maintaining normal colonization levels are keys to ensuring gut health.

Cyclin-dependent kinase 20 (CDK20), also known as cell cycle-related kinase (CCRK), plays a pivotal role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression by regulating β-catenin signaling and promoting uncontrolled proliferation. Despite its emerging significance, selective small-molecule inhibitors of CDK20 remain unexplored. In this study, a known CDK20 inhibitor, ISM042-2-048, was employed as a reference to retrieve structurally similar compounds from the PubChem database using an 85% similarity threshold.

Exposure to traumatic events is common amongst children from refugee backgrounds. Given the restricted access of refugee children to formal specialist resources and disrupted parental support mechanisms in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), teachers are increasingly expected to be the primary responders to the complex psychosocial needs of trauma-exposed refugee children. However, despite LMICs hosting over two-thirds of the world's refugee children, our current knowledge of how teachers respond to these needs is predominantly drawn from studies conducted in well-resourced, high-income countries, which fails to capture the unique experiences of teachers in inadequately resourced schools in LMICs.
