Article Abstract

Art education plays a vital role in preserving cultural heritage and promoting sustainable development. However, growing curricular complexity and abstraction present challenges to student satisfaction, a key metric in educational sustainability. This study investigates how perceived content complexity and modality structure affect student satisfaction in art-related programs, drawing on Construal Level Theory (CLT) to explain the psychological mechanisms involved. Based on aggregated data from 73,368 students across 1524 academic programs in China, the results indicate that higher content complexity significantly reduces satisfaction. Moreover, a lower auditory-visual (A/V) ratio-indicating reduced emphasis on visual input-also decreases satisfaction but moderates the negative effect of content complexity. The findings suggest that cognitive-perceptual mechanisms play a central role in shaping students' evaluative responses and offer implications for improving curriculum design and institutional strategies in art education.

The increasing use of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) in consumer and biomedical products has raised concern over their potential accumulation, transformation, and toxicity in biological systems. Accurate analytical methods are essential to detect, characterize, and quantify NPs in complex biological matrices. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has emerged as a leading technique due to its high sensitivity, elemental selectivity, and quantitative capabilities.

Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a rare and aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma with a poor prognosis and short survival rates. It is classified as a large B-cell lymphoma subtype, but carries a plasmacytic immunophenotype. Therefore, PBL has pathogenetic overlaps with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (DLBCL NOS) and plasma cell neoplasms (PCNs).

Low-cost and high-throughput RNA sequencing data for barley RILs achieved GP performance comparable to or better than traditional SNP array datasets when combined with parental whole-genome sequencing SNP data. The field of genomic selection (GS) is advancing rapidly on many fronts including the utilization of multi-omics datasets with the goal of increasing prediction ability and becoming an integral part of an increasing number of breeding programs ensuring future food security. In this study, we used RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) data to perform genomic prediction (GP) on three related barley RIL populations.

Cholesterol biosynthesis is more activated in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) than in other subtype breast cancer and plays essential role in facilitating TNBC. However, the regulatory network and how cholesterol biosynthesis contribute to TNBC development and progression are not well elucidated. Here, we found that reticulum membrane protein complex 2 (EMC2) is highly expressed in TNBC and predicts short survival of patients.
