Development of the Movement Pattern Observation Tool (MPOT): An Observational Tool to Measure Limb Movements during Elementary School Recess
(2023)Background: The US Center for Disease Control estimates that only 24% of American elementary-aged children participate in the recommended 60 min of daily physical activity. As activity levels decline, elementary schools ... -
A Pilot Study of the Effect of a Non-Contact Boxing Exercise Intervention on Respiratory Pressure and Phonation Aerodynamics in People with Parkinson's Disease
(2023)This study investigated the effects of a non-contact boxing exercise program on maximum expiratory pressure and aerodynamic voice measurements. Methods: Eight adult males diagnosed with Parkinson's disease participated in ... -
Emerging Trends in Research on Self-Regulated Learning and Implications for Education: An Introduction to the Special Issue
(2023)Students in higher education face a multitude of challenges when gaining and refining their knowledge. They are assigned educational activities to complete on their own, and they learn new information in preparation for ... -
"This is not what I imagined motherhood would look like": pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting during COVID-19: A qualitative analysis of the first year since birth
(2023)Background: Childbearing is one of the most emotional and transformative events in a woman's life. This study aims to explore the impact COVID-19 had on childbirth, postpartum, and the first year since giving birth. Methods: ... -
Job embeddedness and voluntary turnover in the face of job insecurity
(2023)Two important contributions to the understanding of voluntary turnover are the ideas that employees become embedded in a net or web of restraining forces on- and off-the-job and that they experience varying degrees of ... -
Take a load off: examining partial and complete cognitive offloading of medication information
(2023)Although cognitive offloading, or the use of physical action to reduce internal cognitive demands, is a commonly used strategy in everyday life, relatively little is known about the conditions that encourage offloading and ... -
Host populations, challenges, and commercialization of cryptococcal vaccines
(2023)AU Vaccines: Pleaseconfirmthatallheadinglevelsarerepresentedcorrectly are one of the most effective public health tools to:prevent and manage infectious diseases. Since the first clinical use of vaccines in the late 18th ... -
Virtual teaching kitchen classes and cardiovascular disease prevention counselling among medical trainees
(2023)Background Hands-on culinary medicine education for medical trainees has emerged as a promising tool for cardiovascular health promotion. Purpose To determine whether virtual culinary medicine programming associates with ... -
Exploring the Role of Attentional Reorienting in the Reactive Effects of Judgments of Learning on Memory Performance
(2023)Making judgments of learning (JOLs) while studying related word pairs can enhance performance on tests that rely on cue-target associations (e.g., cued recall) compared to studying alone. One possible explanation for this ... -
Test Experience, Direct Instruction, and Their Combination Promote Accurate Beliefs about the Testing Effect
(2023)Practice testing is a highly robust learning strategy that promotes long-term retention, especially in comparison to more passive strategies such as restudying¿a finding referred to as the testing effect. However, learners ... -
Impact of implementation interventions to improve substance use service delivery on recidivism among justice-involved youth
(2023)Substance use disorders (SUD) are prevalent among justice-involved youth (JIY) and are a robust predictor of re-offending. Only a fraction of JIY with substance use problems receive treatment. This paper describes the ... -
From chaos to cosmology: insights gained from 1D gravity
(2023)The gravitational force controls the evolution of the Universe on several scales. It is responsible for the formation of galaxies from the primordial matter distribution and the formation of planets from solar nebulae. ... -
Metal in mesosiderites: Evidence for redox and fractional crystallization
(2023)Mesosiderites are an amalgamation of crustal silicates and molten metal, and their formational history is not well understood. It is widely believed that redox reactions occurred in the mesosiderites during metal¿silicate ... -
Nutrient Adequacy in Endurance Athletes
(2023)Proper nutrition is critical for optimal performance in endurance athletes. However, it is unclear if endurance athletes are meeting all their energy and nutrient needs. We examined if endurance athletes are meeting their ... -
Controlling Swing Rates in Macrocyclic Molecular Mortise Hinges
(2023)Hinge motion is observed in macrocyclic, mortise-type molecular hinges using variable temperature NMR spectroscopy. The data is consistent with dynamic hinging from a folded-to-extended-to-folded enantiomeric state. ... -
Computational and Experimental Evidence for Templated Macrocyclization: The Role of a Hydrogen Bond Network in the Quantitative Dimerization of 24-Atom Macrocycles
(2023)In the absence of preorganization, macrocyclization reactions are often plagued by oligomeric and polymeric side products. Here, a network of hydrogen bonds was identified as the basis for quantitative yields of macrocycles ... -
The use of swimming pools by bats on a game reserve in South Africa
(2023)While the use of anthropogenic resources by wildlife in degraded habitats has been frequently documented, the use of such alternative resources in natural and semi-natural habitats is not yet well understood. We explored ... -
Metacognitive awareness of the pretesting effect improves with self-regulation support
(2023)The pretesting or prequestion effect refers to the counterintuitive finding that taking tests on information that one has yet to learn, during which many erroneous responses typically occur, can benefit learning relative ... -
Quantifying the effect of defective viral genomes in respiratory syncytial virus infections
(2023)Defective viral genomes (DVGs) are viral genomes that contain only a partial viral RNA and so cannot replicate within cells on their own. If a cell containing DVGs is subsequently infected with a complete viral genome, the ... -
