Article Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to examine (a) the teacher-reported prevalence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and associated impairment in a nationally representative sample of children and adolescents and (b) the degree to which prevalence varied as a function of student and teacher characteristics. Teacher-reported symptoms of ADHD based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) criteria and teacher-rated impairment were used to estimate prevalence using symptoms and impairment either alone or in combination, and to assess predictors of ADHD using a diverse, nationally representative sample (n = 2,140; 1,070 males, 1,070 females; 54.8% White, non-Hispanic) between 5 to 17 years old (M = 11.53; SD = 3.54). The combination of symptom and impairment ratings yielded the prevalence rate most consistent with prior epidemiological findings. Students' age, gender, racial, and special education status were significant predictors of symptom count and level of symptom-related impairment. It is critically important to simultaneously consider symptoms and symptom-related impairment when identifying students with ADHD. Student and teacher characteristics may affect ratings and identification results.

The aim of the paper is to reflect on the importance of the teacher of the medical profession in graduate and postgraduate education. The objective of the analysis was a narrative reflection on the profession of a teacher of medical professionals based on the principles of medical education and specialization programs applicable in Poland. The core curriculum for teaching in the field of medicine was analysed in detail, including also the insufficiently developed principles of selection and education of academic and vocational teachers.

Purpose: Reviews of evidence have shown that elementary school students show enhanced speech, language, and/or literacy outcomes when speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and classroom teachers collaborate in planning and delivery of services. However, such collaboration is uncommon. The purpose of this qualitative interview study was to examine the experiences and views of elementary SLPs and classroom teachers in collaborating with one another.

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.

This paper conducts an in-depth investigation and analysis of 25 microbiology course outlines from 23 domestic universities in China, focusing on the structure of prerequisite courses. The study finds that microbiology course outlines typically include basic course information, objectives, content, teaching methods, resources, assessment, and scheduling. Reasonable prerequisite course settings are vital for clarifying logical relationships among courses in talent training programs, organizing key and challenging knowledge systems, and enhancing university course quality.

Background: Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) enhances material differentiation by leveraging energy-dependent attenuation properties particularly for carbon ion therapy. Accurate estimation of tissue elemental composition via DECT can improve quantification of physical and biological doses.
Objective: This study proposed a novel machine-learning-based DECT (ML-DECT) method to predict the physical density and mass ratios of H, C, N, O, P, and Ca.
