Summary: Through two experiments, this study found that promoting a sense of multiple identities in middle school students did not significantly enhance their divergent thinking. The results contradicted previous research, indicating that the social priming effect may not be particularly effective in enhancing creativity.

Summary: Human-designed landscapes can support diverse pollinator communities, with plant diversity in the landscape correlated with abundance and diversity of pollinator visitors, shaping a plant's relative attractiveness to pollinators. Planting schemes should take into consideration factors such as cultivar, landscape plant diversity, floral phenology, floral area, and contribution to a stable ecological community.

Summary: Social Q&A is a process of seeking information through questioning and answering in natural language on social networks. It provides a suitable environment for informal learning by facilitating knowledge gathering and interaction. This study explores the factors affecting the continuance intention of using social Q&A communities for informal learning and reveals the underlying mechanism among these factors. Data from 257 university students were analyzed using a partial least squares-based structural equation model. The findings indicate that homophily, interactivity, and social presence are determinants of collaborative learning and community identification, which in turn influences university students' continuance intention for informal learning. This research extends our understanding of informal learning in social Q&A communities and provides insights on promoting continuous informal learning in such environments.

Summary: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are a multimodal approach to optimize patient outcome and recovery. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is recommended in ERAS guidelines. Key components of MIS include preoperative patient education and optimization, multimodal pain management, prophylactic measures, maintenance of euvolemia, and early activity promotion. ERAS protocols in MIS improve outcomes by reducing length of stay, cost, postoperative pain and nausea, increasing patient satisfaction, and possibly reducing complications. Robotic surgery facilitates MIS in complex procedures and supports ERAS.

Summary: This study demonstrates the potential of large-scale citizen science programs to contribute to national climate and ecosystem assessments by identifying and evaluating biotic climate change indicators and generating yearly estimates of indicator status. By utilizing opportunistic data collected through a citizen science program, the researchers show how these observations can be used to understand phenological responses to local springtime temperatures. The findings highlight the importance of citizen science in monitoring and understanding environmental changes.

Summary: This study aims to explore and compare Chinese university students' preferences for various physical activity motivation programs. The results showed that the number of bonus, exercise time, and academic rewards emerged as the three most crucial attributes of physical activity incentive programs. College students exhibited heterogeneity in their preferences for these attributes based on individual characteristics such as gender and BMI. These findings can guide the development of programs and policies aimed at motivating college students to engage in physical activities.

Summary: This study explores the practice of self-regulated learning (SRL) by undergraduate students in a health science university during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results suggest that students set goals for academic and personal development and achieve them through various study techniques and personal management skills. They also engage in self-reflection and develop strategies to overcome challenges. These findings highlight the importance of promoting an atmosphere of SRL in universities to support students' career success.

Summary: This study reveals that nitrogen fixation can provide sufficient nitrogen for ant colonies, promoting the growth of bacteria, fungi, and nematodes within the colonies and potentially supporting the development of ant populations. The diverse and heterogeneous diazotrophic community in ant colonies enhances resilience to environmental changes.

Summary: Popular AI science activities in education can enhance students' cognitive understanding of AI concepts, but skills improvement requires more time. Teacher support can enhance students' learning outcomes, but it may lead to dependency on teachers. Activities without teacher support are more effective in fostering students' independent computational thinking and problem-solving abilities.

Summary: This study investigated the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of university students in Bangladesh regarding monkeypox. The findings revealed that the students had moderate knowledge, low attitude, and moderate practice towards monkeypox. Personal attributes and geographical distribution were significantly associated with the knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding monkeypox and overall KAP score.
