Mental Competency - Science topic

Dear Farhad Mardaneh ,

Thank you for your question,

To enhance Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) in pre-intermediate EFL learners, effective materials include authentic texts, videos, role-plays, songs, and virtual exchanges. Case studies, multicultural literature, and interactive cultural dilemmas further develop awareness and adaptability. These resources expose learners to diverse perspectives, real-life communication, and cultural nuances, fostering effective cross-cultural interactions.

Best,

Zylfije Tahiri

You should be fine. "Stable" E. coli cloning strains (NEB-stable, the Stbl strains, etc) are primarily meant to prevent recombination in plamids destined for mammalian cells like lentiviral vectors, which have long repetitive elements. It sounds like that's the primary concern for recombination at elevated temperatures. While bacterial genomes do have problematic repetitive regions, they're uncommonly things you would clone into a plasmid (with the exception of say, some transposon vectors).

Also, as far as I can tell, the NEB-Stable strain does not even contain T7 RNA Polymerase required to even express genes driven by the T7 promoter, so your genes should be silent and not confer any selection advantage to mutants even for toxic proteins, barring anything like unexpected like cryptic expression from an unexpected promoter upstream in the plasmid, of course.

Sequence verification is important for any cloning project though.

If the cells grow fine without selection and the electroporation rig works with other bacteria, then the problem might be with the plasmid.

Steven Prevette Yes, SO much useful research depends so much on the "authority" (as in most things). Creative, flexible, and genuinely curious people also promote those pursuits in their mentees, while requiring rigorous methodology and evidence in the process to train future researchers.

Like school grades, the ubiquity of performance reviews and the like is because it takes more WORK to train and assess people more constructively! And, besides being 'taught' that way, many folks in authority don't want to put the effort into it as long as their own position is secure.

Some of us maintain continuity in working toward our goals. But if he stops for a while and reflects after each achievement, he may reconsider his priorities and adjust his goals, and this may lead him to professionalism instead of mere achievement.

Не думаю, что всё так просто: если следовать за приведенным определением, то нет никаких различий между "трансформацией", "развитием", "совершенствованием", "повышением качества" и т.д.: все эти процессы можно характеризовать как "изменения с целью улучшения качества и подготовки к новым вызовам". Соответственно, и установка на приобретение "не только знаний, но и навыков..." - это абсолютно стандартная формула, встречающаяся в 99% студенческих ответов на экзамене ("не только знания, но еще и общеинтеллектуальные умения"; "не только знания, но еще и личностные результаты", "не только знания, но еще и социальные навыки" и т.д.). Проблема трансформации образования, в том числе, что опирается на ценностный выбор (в том числе, интерпретацию самого понятия "успех"), что в ней изменяются не столько педагогические аспекты (цели, содержание, технологии), но институциональная инфраструктура образования, и еще очень много другого...

I totally agree with Greg's Walterhouse answer. Since law regulates every aspect of our lives, ecomonical, personal, social, professional, enviromentical and in general the world we are living, therefore it is absolutely necessary to enhance people and especially the youths to embrace law. Learning basic law knowledge may help young people and tomorrow's adults not to fear law. Law's basic contribution is cultivating culture and mentality. So, basic law skills can lead to thw change of people culture, the improvemet of education and a more harmonic society. The participation of people in tomorrow's governance is another benefit. I personally work in the government sector and i believe that basic law knowledge is necessary for everyone in this sector, even for those working in data science field.

Servcies exports and overseas facilities have similar general needs for both products and services. But one point is very important, involving local service providers and local employees since services are always interpersonal acts. Second need is having local partner in host countries. These two will take care of many things like local compliances, language and cultural issues

The previous comment is spot on. An easy way to do this in practice is to first "normalize" every output to be on the same scale, so that the units and scales of the corresponding objective functions do not interfere. Then multiply the resulting normalized values by the relative weights (based on your design intentions, requirements, etc.).

For example if the range of one objective function is between 1-10000, while the other is .001 to 0.1, the first objective function will nearly dominate everything with no normalizing or weighting. As such, normalizing both to be in the range between 0 and 1 (or something similar), will make it easier for any weights to be applied. After normalizing, if we want the second objective to be 10 times more important than the first, we simply multiply it by 10, and so on.

One thing to keep in mind, though is that the addition of additional objective functions will often result in more complicated objective function "landscapes" whereby they may no longer be differentiable, or even continuous. As such, more complicated (and potentially slower) optimization functions may be required to get good results. For example, simple gradient-based solvers may no longer work, and more meta-heuristic solvers such as "particle swarm" or "simulated annealing" may be required.

Hello Jana!

Here’s a list of authors who have written about communicative competence in the context of nursing, with a focus on works from the last five years:

Hi, that's a great question! You're absolutely right in observing that much of the research on sociolinguistic competence tends to focus on speech acts. One reason for this focus could indeed be that speech acts are more easily measurable and observable in controlled environments. Speech acts, as a component of pragmatic competence, often have clearer boundaries and can be studied through concrete examples of language use, such as requests, apologies, or commands, making them more accessible for empirical studies.

In contrast, other aspects of sociolinguistic competence—such as understanding and applying cultural norms, levels of formality, politeness strategies, and variations in language use across different social groups—can be more challenging to assess. These aspects are often more implicit and deeply intertwined with cultural knowledge, making it harder to design studies with quantifiable outcomes. Researchers might prefer speech acts because they can more easily collect data through surveys, role-plays, or discourse analysis, and draw conclusions based on observable patterns.

That being said, there is growing interest in the broader aspects of sociolinguistic competence, especially in multicultural and multilingual settings where effective communication goes beyond just performing speech acts appropriately. Research on how learners navigate social norms, use language appropriately in varying contexts, and develop an understanding of sociocultural nuances could provide rich insights that complement the studies on speech acts.

It would be interesting to see more studies focused on these broader, harder-to-measure aspects of sociolinguistic competence, as they play a crucial role in language proficiency and real-world communication.

It's indeed a kit, but you only need it for your insert. It's a way to subclone insert DNA quickly and efficiently.

The advantage of subcloning your promoter fragment is you can now check to see if it is being cut properly by the enzymes. You can also sequence it in pTOPO (M13F site in the vector).

After you have your promoter DNA cloned into pTOPO, you use your restriction enzymes to cut both the TOPO cloned insert out of TOPO and to prep up your destination vector.

It depends on the learning outcomes! For basic skill aquisition, games are good.

I used role playing when teaching Irish to foreigners to give them practice with verbs and vocab. So we played "estate agent", in which one person was the buyer and one was the estate agent. The buyer would point to features of the room (door, window, seat etc) and ask what it was, and the estate agent would reply "Its a door) etc.

You can set up silly games that cause the students to engage the same target skill repeatedly. "Where does it hurt?" for example, for parts of the body.

The trick is to make the situation fun, or even funny.

Where role playing is to help people understand how others experience a situation, it's more difficult, and needs careful scripting so that the students can genuinely engage. I'd recommend that you look for programmes that use such teaching methods and engage with them to re-use or modify their materials. Leverage the experience of others rather than reinventing from scratch!

An important feature of developing countries is the existence of a big subsistence sector. Many people in that sector have to depend on themselves without social welfare from the state. Put another way, social protection may only come from families, clans or charities rather than the state.

[Abstract

This paper sets out to explore the different ways in which communities deal with earthquakes. As is well known, the ability to recover from a damaging earthquake varies greatly across the world. The events of 2010 were of course a striking reminder of this, when the death toll from the Haïti earthquake was at least 100,000; in the very different conditions of Chile, a much larger event the same year killed just 525 people. In a narrow sense, much of the difference can be explained in terms of the engineering properties of the physical infrastructure affected; the better it has been designed and constructed to withstand strong ground shaking, the greater the chance that the community affected has of recovering quickly. However, the central thesis of this paper is that the ability of a community to deal with earthquakes involves much more than just technical factors. Seismically resilient buildings and other infrastructure will only be in place when an earthquake strikes if there has been a willingness and ability to devote the necessary resources to building them. Moreover, taking prior steps to limit physical damage is only one part of the process for dealing with earthquakes; providing for immediate post-earthquake needs and for the longer term rebuilding of communities is also important. To pursue these issues further, and how they might affect engineers, I visited four widely differing regions of high seismicity. During this study tour, I examined the societal context in which seismic engineers operate and talked to many people involved in earthquake protection and response. The intention was to identify the ways in which the ability of communities to deal with earthquakes depend on societal factors such as economics, politics and more general cultural dimensions. Based on these investigations, I believe that seismic engineers can contribute more effectively to ensuring successful outcomes after an earthquake strikes if fully aware of these societal factors. We need to look beyond our narrow technical field of providing earthquake resistant facilities and widen our vision to consider the complex systems, both ‘hard’ and ‘soft’, in which those facilities will operate. E. F. Schumacher’s famous book (Schumacher 1973) ‘Small is beautiful’ has the subtitle ‘the study of economics as if people mattered’. I believe that seismic engineering should be practised ‘as if people mattered’.]

This discussion dives deep into contrasting perspectives on fundamental physics theories, particularly special relativity. Here's a breakdown of the main points raised:

1. **Quantum FFF Model Differences**: The Quantum FFF Theory differs from the standard model in several key aspects, including the nature of fermions, the vacuum structure, and the concept of consciousness in particles.

2. **Critique of Einstein's Special Relativity**: Fred-Rick Schermer presents a critique of Einstein's approach, arguing that Einstein's reliance on spacetime as the explanatory framework neglects the behavior of matter itself. He uses an analogy of mice in a cage to illustrate his point, suggesting that Einstein attributed too much agency to spacetime rather than matter.

3. **Response on Vacuum Energy**: Wolfgang Konle defends Richard Feynman's idea of vacuum energy, proposing that the additional energy density could be used to recycle star fuel from black holes, although this idea may seem initially counterintuitive.

4. **Fundamental Postulates of Special Relativity**: Sergey Shevchenko elaborates on the postulates of special relativity, particularly emphasizing the Galileo-Poincaré relativity principle. He suggests that the fundamental flaws of special relativity only reveal themselves on a fundamental level, while in everyday physical practice, the theory aligns with reality.

5. **Clarification of Fundamental Phenomena**: Sergey Shevchenko further delves into the clarification of fundamental phenomena such as space, time, energy, information, and matter, advocating for a philosophical and scientific framework that considers these concepts in the context of informational patterns and systems.

Overall, the discussion highlights diverse perspectives on the interpretation and understanding of special relativity, touching on issues of fundamental principles, theoretical frameworks, and philosophical underpinnings.

Thank you, Stephen :) I have looked into that article previously, but it does not necessarily help explaining this relationship.

Thank you, Abhinshek :)

The minimal education competency for the use of insulin engineered safety needles would typically include:

A basic understanding of diabetes and its management, including the role of insulin in glucose regulation.

Knowledge of the different types of insulin delivery methods, including syringes, pens, and pumps.

Understanding of the importance of proper needle technique and safety precautions when administering insulin injections.

Familiarity with the engineered safety needles, including their design and functionality.

Ability to properly assemble and dispose of the needles, as well as troubleshoot any issues that may arise.

Understanding of the proper storage and handling of insulin and needles.

Ability to recognize and respond to signs of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.

Knowledge of the appropriate dosing and administration guidelines for insulin, including the timing and frequency of injections.

Familiarity with the patient's individualized insulin regimen and any adjustments that may need to be made based on their specific needs.

Ability to communicate effectively with the patient and other healthcare professionals regarding the patient's insulin therapy.

It's important to note that the specific competencies required may vary depending on the individual patient's needs and the healthcare setting in which the insulin is being administered. It's important for healthcare professionals to receive ongoing education and training to ensure they are up-to-date on the latest advancements in insulin delivery methods and safety protocols.

Dear Prof. Guillen - Gamez!

I appreciate your time and effort to inform our community about this opportunity. The topic is of critical importance:

The design of tourism-focused public spaces can have various impacts on local communities, both positive and negative. Here are some ways in which it can affect them:

Overall, the design of tourism-focused public spaces can significantly influence the well-being, economy, and social fabric of local communities. It is essential to consider the needs, preferences, and concerns of residents while planning and designing these spaces to ensure that they benefit both locals and visitors alike.

Yes at the same time. Dealings in art is the most likely way for artists to make sufficient money. So if they don’t have a management company, then they suffer organizing all their projects and also fall prey to bad dealings simply because there’s so much on their plate. Creative people need space to think and process their own information and their carefree expression. That’s why you need the manager so they focus on all the business and then you as the artist just focus on the making art.

Contemporary art business conditions may require a different approach to business competencies due to the changing nature of the art market, including digitalization, globalization and new forms of cultural consumption. This may mean that contemporary art professionals need tailored business skills to take advantage of emerging opportunities, manage the marketing of artworks effectively and navigate an increasingly complex and competitive market. In summary, changing business conditions in contemporary art may influence the meaning and importance of business competencies by requiring continuous adaptation and evolution to succeed in the field.

As with most things in life, being competent in a field of practice gives the practitioner a good edge compared to those without a clue or experience. Competence in a sense doesn't need to be at the skill level but can also be at the Character level. Having goof morals can be a qualifying factor where the skills lack or in a field where that is more important than education.

When it comes to religious moderation. Being level headed, not easily angered, being sensible, patience, and the rest of the virtues can pass as competence for the leader.

In urban areas, having a good education will boost the Church leader's profile and make them 'believable' in situations where one needs to mediate between two city dwellers. Education in this sense with be considered a necessity for competency and will also improve the confidence levels of the leader. Many uneducated leaders unfortunately succumb to low esteem and but then tend to be overly religious. Many decisions are then based on a spiritual 'high' or influence rather than common sense. This unfortunately will lead to radicalisation which is one of the biggest hindrances to religious moderation.

Yes Marco Pereira to your question. However, I prefer to understand such academic selection (filter) mechanisms mainly as a human phenomenon of social group psychology, which also applies to the history of exact sciences.

Salute for coming up this study, may I respectfully ask you if what will be our role in the development of your study? What's the design of your study? Details please. Thank you for the invitation.

Hello Umar, I believe there are many answers to your question, depending on your classroom/teaching/grade level. For example, here in the US, we have many "inclusion" classes in the sciences, which means that students of all academic levels can be in the same class. However, in such situations, learning is always enhanced by the presence of teacher's aides, or para-professionals. There is no doubt that students with low literacy need special help in the sciences.

One thing that is difficult is the science vocabulary; in biology for example, in one academic year, I counted well over 150 new words/names/phrases that were seen in both lessons and exams. Being prepared for this, was essential.

I also noticed that the more hands on labs and such that could be done in class, the less literacy played a factor. There is no doubt that they can definitely achieve competency, as noted in the response above. The real test of this of course would be, "Are such individuals going to be prepared to seek an occupation in science?"

Your areas of instruction, as listed with your name, will be one key to the future for such individuals.

Mr. DAVID, thank you for your your insightful comments. I am also engaged in research and development in military leadership and organizational development. As, I could understand in past one decade that the behavior, actions and practices in armed forces are quite different from the civil population. Military is more than a profession, it is a way of leading life and thus, I am afraid of generalization of the test development and validated on civil population to armed forces.

There is no consensus in science and research, regarding representational competence (RC) as a unified theoretical framework. RC is essential for the acquisition of conceptual understanding in physics. It enables the interpretation of diagrams, graphs, and mathematical equations, and relating these to one another as well as to observations and experimental outcomes;

success in solving physics problems is related to the representational format of the problem. In this sense, Alwielland Q. Bello RC can indeed be understood as the competence to mentally represent a physics problem or generally physics theories by simple cognitive models, mainly via visualization (simple model by combining simple human language, logic and math).

Indeed creativity in education is important. After all, since access to knowledge is becoming easier, education should focus on providing qualities for innovation and development of new knowledge.

If using chemical transformation you can just use the ligation mix directly. To visualize a ligation on a gel requires large quantities of both vector and insert.

In European Chrysidoidea only a few species have been renamed in this way, usually after the original genus was synonymised according to modern insights. A more unsatisfactory situation are several detailed descriptions of newly discovered species, of which the author assumed it had been already described. These descriptions are rejected by the code because no new name was published. This will encourage authors to publish any specimen that is not recognised as a new species, without investing time in extensive research.

I agree Babu (the unsuitability in all countries of old style LMSs are also a problem. I think the best we can do is design for uncertainty,sustainability and flexibility in education.

As a teacher, I would like to develop advanced soft skills and continuous professional development, as well would like to learn new teaching and learning methods and innovative methods of teaching. I know in the future time AI will play a vital role in all sectors including education so try to maintain human pace with AI.

The topic is interesting

I am honored to join for any research collaboration with you

Researchers created a new high-throughput tool to hunt for therapies that remyelinate the nervous system...

"In MS, a patient’s immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin sheath. Inflammation damages the neurons left vulnerable by demyelination, and causes a range of symptoms, including vision loss, muscle weakness and dysfunction, and sensory changes. Current MS therapies target the immune system to slow disease progression, but scientists seek a more direct therapeutic approach. “Just by stopping the immune system, you can’t recover the myelin that’s degraded,” explained Xitiz Chamling, a neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University. “There is a huge interest in this field to re-establish myelin, which is called remyelination.” This interest stems from the potential to cure or reverse the disease with treatments that promote myelination by oligodendrocytes...""

The numbers for the concentrations in your text do not agree with those observed in the figure.

Since the ligand is a dimer, would the dimer bind one single molecule of the other protein, or two?

When dealing with dimeric proteins, I always recommend, if possible, to perform the assay with the dimeric protein in the cell, to avoid additional problems.

If you have information about that interaction in a certain experimental scheme, I would recommend following the same experimental scheme. After you reproduce the known behavior, then you can explore other possibilities.

Regarding the c-value: c-value is not a goal in itself. Forget about pursuing a high enough c-value guaranteeing a sigmoidal isotherm. Very often it is not achievable (low affinity), and very often it is not necessary for an experiment to be considered good (there are many other features people pay little attention that are even more important than the c-value).

Entrepreneurship competence for students in today's world is a vital skill set that goes beyond traditional academic knowledge. It encompasses a combination of skills, attitudes, and knowledge that empower students to identify opportunities, take calculated risks, and create innovative solutions in the dynamic global business landscape.

First and foremost, students need a deep understanding of their chosen industry or field, including market trends, customer needs, and potential competitors. This knowledge forms the foundation for informed decision-making. Additionally, entrepreneurial competence involves developing critical thinking and problem-solving abilities to navigate complex challenges.

Adaptability and resilience are essential traits for aspiring entrepreneurs. The ability to pivot and learn from failure is crucial in an ever-changing business environment. Effective communication and teamwork are also vital, as entrepreneurs often need to collaborate with diverse stakeholders, including investors, partners, and customers. Financial literacy and risk management skills help students make sound financial decisions and manage resources effectively. Furthermore, creativity and innovation drive the development of unique products or services. Finally, an entrepreneurial mindset involves a willingness to take initiative, a passion for learning, and the ability to network and seek opportunities. In summary, entrepreneurship competence for students equips them with a holistic skill set that empowers them to identify, create, and seize opportunities, fostering innovation and economic growth in an increasingly competitive world.

I intend to use open-ended questions and target linguistics students, although I haven't yet begun to formulate the questions.

You’ve actually posted THREE separate statements! Reliability is pretty much desired for any activity or process in life. Thus, the reliability of anything has a major impact on its perceived value.

Academic degrees and other Certifications are really just the equivalent of money in economics. They are tokens of the value of something else that may be traded for other values. As such, the particular “degree” is subject to the same qualifiers as monetary values in foreign exchange or domestic use. Reliability in use may or may not correlate to reliability in relative value. That is why exchange rates vary constantly, and internal issues like inflation impact the reliability of money’s value as well. Yet, for the most part, the “reliability” of money is solid as a medium of exchange.

So, not all degrees and certifications are necessarily equal in value in the marketplace of ideas or employment. Despite attempts to set up particular standards in different disciplines, the actual “certified” education or knowledge of someone in a particular field will vary depending on both the particular country a person was educated in, and often also the particular institution at which they studied.

Meeting minimum requirements can assure some level of confidence in the general public, but that also leaves a usually large range of abilities between those that have minimal competency and those who are truly experts. So, the actual competence of a “degreed” medical doctor at a clinic in a remote area may be quite a bit different from the competence expected from a medical doctor at a highly-respected hospital in a major city of a wealthy country.

The “value” of any certification also depends on the individual consumer. Many people are verfiably helped by the services of degreed and certified social workers of various types. Family and friend networks are great – maybe esential – but for some problems (maybe it IS the family!) the assistance and guidance of someone specifically trained and tested in aspect of social relationships cannot be duplicated.

The proliferation of “Diploma Mills” or other questionable certification services does make the “face value” of a degree more questionable. But the degree should just be the starting point of evaluation! If you stop there, any consequences are really your own fault. Verification of the schools legitimacy, the actual record of the person holding the degree, and any other work/social history of the person must be obtained and evaluated against your requirements.

In general, any person needs to provide some evidence that they are capable of meeting the requirements of an employer. Any employer must decide what evidence is acceptable. One of those pieces of evidence may be a degree or certification. It is NOT certain that such documents are particularly reliable unless backed up by reputable institutions.

Literacy is a part of competence and is referred to correct usage of language esp. written. It is closer to performance because it presupposes language usage. Competence is more ideal, generalized knowledge or understanding how a certain languge works.

Hello Philippos,

When it comes to 21st-century education teacher's priority must rely on the transformative power of education, defined by UNESCO as the process that "involves teaching and learning geared to motivate and empower happy and healthy learners to take informed decisions and actions at the individual, community and global levels." (2023,

Combining scientific, pedagogical skills and values with a broader sense of the teacher's mission is essential to ensure learners develop skills better aligned with the challenges we face today.

Thus, teachers should be trained in the following areas to ensure they are prepared to foster learner's eagerness to learn and awareness about the world they live in:

- social-emotional skills

- critical thinking and problem-solving skills

- resilience and flexibility

- collaboration and empathy

- pedagogical use of technology

Very good summary ! Gaurav H Tandon Am in agreement with a humorous perception of the Peter Principle and related hierarchical incompentence paradoxes, but it is factually a dangerous behavioral phenomenon, especially when it arrives at the autocratic, dictatorial and totalitarian level.

From the perspective of human resources in education, politics, economics and technology, the hierarchy of incompetencies is the key, dear Gaurav H Tandon This implies that persons with the highest double character, double standards and lowest ethics always make it to the top of an organization, may it be a corporation or the state. Certain fields like entrepreneurship (innovation), independent scholarship and the arts are more exempt from this archaic paradox of human organized behavior that persists in modernity, due to unbroken evolutionary patterns. The flatter the degree of organization, the more competence counts. Centralization does always reinforce the Peter Principle and similar paradox hierarchies of organized human incompetence.
