Summary: The study aimed to investigate the relationship between teachers' usage rates of computer-based formative assessment (CBFA) and their perceptions of instructional technology in a one-to-one computing environment. Major findings indicated significant correlations between CBFA usage rates and teacher comfort with technology, belief in technology, and autonomy. Differences in CBFA usage rates were found between different subjects, class levels, and grade levels, providing insights into targeted professional development for teachers utilizing technology for formative assessment in the classroom.

Summary: A colorimetric paper-based creatinine sensor adhering to point-of-care testing principles was developed in this study. The sensor showed high accuracy in detecting creatinine levels within the range significant for urinary analysis, with a limit of quantification of 1.05 mmol.L-1 for the Jaffe method and 0.82 mmol.L-1 for the 3,5-dinitrobenzoate method. The sensors were proven to selectively quantify creatinine in undiluted urine samples with recoveries ranging from 70 to 129%.

Summary: Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) can benefit individuals with restricted movements, and recent studies have shown the effectiveness of BCI applications in this field. However, the number of publicly available BCI applications is still insufficient, highlighting the need to enhance usability and accessibility. Through introducing a BCI application for virtual world tours, researchers aim to contribute to open science in the BCI field.

Summary: In this study, a paper-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method was used to examine the changes in acupoint environment. The results showed that levels of neurotransmitters and cytokines were increased after electroacupuncture (EA) treatment. Further investigations revealed the involvement of TRPV1 and its associated molecules in these changes. The findings provide novel insights into acupuncture mechanisms and clinical targeting.

Summary: The study identified a large number of acetylation sites in paper mulberry proteins, mainly involved in translation, transcription, ribosomal structure, and biological processes, concentrated in the chloroplast, cytoplasm, and nucleus. The findings suggest that lysine acetylation plays a significant role in regulating carbon and nitrogen metabolism as well as stress responses in plants.

Summary: This paper describes the development of a model called SDM:HOSP, which aims to achieve lasting shared decision making (SDM) between patients and healthcare professionals. Through four phases of development, including the development of conceptual elements, field testing, evaluation, and the development of the final model, SDM:HOSP can be easily adapted to different organizations and cultures.

Summary: Packaging and labels are vital for various products, but the absence of them causes uncertainty among consumers. The global trend is to reduce packaging waste by recycling or using available waste materials. Cereal straw, which is abundant after harvest, can be an alternate source of fibers for green packaging and labels. This study observed the usability of printed papers with discarded lignocellulosic fibers for secondary green packaging and labels, and it was concluded that offset printing is preferable over gravure printing due to better ink penetration and surface coverage.

Summary: This pilot study investigated the acceptability, safety, and preliminary efficacy of a web-based exercise intervention for individuals with metastatic prostate cancer. The intervention was found to be acceptable and led to increased participation in moderate to vigorous physical activity. These findings suggest that web-based exercise programs could be a feasible alternative for individuals unable to access supervised exercise interventions.
