The COVID-19 pandemic has altered learning and teaching approaches in higher education. Research concerning revealed inconsistent results on student engagement, which is a robust predictor of academic performance This exploratory study examines the relationship between grit engagement through mediating role negotiable fate. Although previous research demonstrated that could positively predict t...

Introduction: Musculoskeletal pain is a common medical and socioeconomic problem worldwide. Treatment management options most commonly include analgesics such as paracetamol, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), topical over-the-counter (OTC) preparations. Patients often use OTC owing to the benefits shown by clinical studies for treatment of musculoskeletal injuries disorders. The ai...

This study evaluated the effects of humidity conditions and evaluation times on the dentin bond strength (DBS) of two self-adhesive resin cements (RC). The RC used were: RelyX Unicem (3M ESPE) and Clearfil SA Cement (Kuraray Med.). One hundred and twenty coronal portions of bovine incisors (n = 10) were used. Buccal surfaces were abraded in order to expose a flat dentinal surface (180-grit SiC)...

The actual grinding result of ceramics has not been well predicted by the present mechanical models. No allowance is made for direct effects of materials microstructure and almost all the mechanical models were obtained based on crystalline ceramics. In order to improve the mechanical models of ceramics, surface grinding experiments on crystalline ceramics and non-crystalline ceramics were cond...

The wide spread of food outlets has become an environmental and sanitation infrastructure problem, due to Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG). A grease box is used at the industrials facilities to collect the FOG, in a specific time window, while its quality is good for recycling (e.g., biodiesel) and it is economically valuable. After this period, it will be disposed at a cost. For the proper manageme...

We analyzed the gizzards, and grits retained in the gizzards of 41 24 cranes that migrated to the Izumi Plain during the winter of 2015/2016 and died 25 there, either due to accident or disease. These included 31 Hooded Cranes (Grus 26 monacha) and 10 White-naped Cranes (G. vipio). We determined body weight, 27 gizzard weight, total grit weight and number per gizzard, and size, shape, and 28 su...

Other than talent and opportunity, what makes some people more successful than others? One important determinant of success is self-control - the capacity to regulate attention, emotion, and behavior in the presence of temptation. A second important determinant of success is grit - the tenacious pursuit of a dominant superordinate goal despite setbacks. Self-control and grit are strongly correl...

Sixty-three mallards were fed one of ten poly(methyl methacrylate) based synthetic grit formulations containing varying concentrations of a proposed wildlife contraceptive (nicarbazin), plasticizer (acetyl tributylcitrate) and/or cross-linking agent (1,4-butanediol diacrylate). Release characteristics of the contraceptive agent were monitored for the purpose of developing a contraceptive formul...

There is a long-standing interest in the determinants of successful learning in children. "Grit" is an individual trait, reflecting the ability to pursue long-term goals despite temporary setbacks. Although grit is known to be predictive of future success in real-world learning situations, an understanding of the underlying neural basis and mechanisms is still lacking. Here we show that grit in...
