Data_Sheet_1_Cognitive diagnostic assessment of EFL learners’ listening barriers through incorrect responses.PDF

English as Foreign Language (EFL) learners’ cognitive processes have been a research focus in listening assessment. Most studies use correct responses as data, but undervalue the rich information of the incorrect answers or options (in the case of multiple choice questions, MCQ). However, the MCQ distractors are often intentionally designed to reveal learners’ problems or barriers. In order to diagnose the EFL learners’ listening barriers through incorrect responses, Cognitive Diagnostic Models (CDMs) for bugs were adopted, hence the name Bug-CDMs. First, five EFL listening barrier attributes were identified and two Bug Q-matrices were developed to comparatively analyze the learner’s responses with different Bug-CDMs. The results revealed that Bug-GDINA was the optimal model, and the most prevalent barriers were semantic understanding and vocabulary recognition. These barriers confirmed both compensatory and non-compensatory relationships in causing listening comprehension failures. The study proved the feasibility of Bug-GDINA in diagnosing listening barriers from the incorrect responses. Limitations and suggestions for further research were also proposed.</p

Hierarchical PbZr_<i>x</i>Ti_1–<i>x</i>O₃ Nanowires for Vibrational Energy Harvesting

Perovskite piezoelectric material nanostructures have gained immense interest in the energy harvesting community due to their ability of converting mechanical energy into electric power in a much more efficient manner. In this paper, we first successfully synthesized PbZr_<i>x</i>Ti_1–<i>x</i>O₃ (PZT) nanowires with unique hierarchical nanostructures that are ∼100 nm in diameter and 6 μm in length by using a facile hydrothermal process. Then, a unimorph cantilever energy harvester was fabricated by bonding mixed hierarchical PZT nanowires with a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymer matrix to a brass substrate. The measured open-circuit voltage from this harvester was 2.7 V at its fundamental resonance (25.2 Hz) under a 0.1<i>g</i> root-mean-square (RMS) acceleration input, and the measured power density was 51.8 μW cm^–3 with an optimal load resistance of 2 MΩ, which is approximately 8 times larger than that of the commercial BaTiO₃ nanoparticle energy harvester on the same scale but driven by a much higher acceleration level

Mixed Bromine–Chlorine Induced Great Dielectric and Second-Order Nonlinear Optical Properties Changes in Phase Transitions Compounds [H₂mdap][BiBr_{5(1‑<i>x</i>)}Cl_5<i>x</i>] (<i>x</i> = 0.00–1.00)

Doping/mixing method plays an important role in modulating the structures and physical properties of functional materials. Herein, we report that the mixed crystals [H₂mdap]­[BiBr_{5(1‑<i>x</i>)}Cl_5<i>x</i>] (H₂mdap = protonated <i>N</i>-methyl-1,3-diaminopropane, <i>x</i> = 0.00–1.00) undergo phase transitions with the trend that the larger <i>x</i>, the higher phase transition temperature. Variable-temperature structure analysis shows that anionic and cationic moieties in the crystal lattice contribute to the phase transition. Room-temperature structure comparisons reveal that phase transition point moving to a higher temperature is mainly due to the decrease of the Bi–Cl/Br–Bi angles in the anionic chains and slightly alter the intermolecular interactions with mixed different components of halogen atoms Cl and Br. Dielectric and second harmonic generation experiments demonstrate their similar phase transition behaviors and coexistence of switchable dielectric behaviors and bistable nonlinear optical effects. Mixed Br–Cl induced great dielectric and second-order nonlinear optical properties changes which makes [H₂mdap]­[BiBr_{5(1‑<i>x</i>)}Cl_5<i>x</i>] (<i>x</i> = 0.00–1.00) become potential tunable and multifunctional optical–electrical coupled materials

Table_1_Network meta-analysis of the efficacy of four traditional Chinese physical exercise therapies on the prevention of falls in the elderly.pdf

IntroductionIn recent years, traditional Chinese exercises have been passed down and reformed to play a significant role in the study of interventions for the treatment of falls in older people. However, few studies have evaluated the efficacy of various Chinese traditional exercises in the intervention of falls behavior in the elderly. In this study, four Chinese traditional exercises commonly used in clinical practice were selected as subjects to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of Tai Chi, Ba Duan Jin, Yi Jin Jing and Wu Qin Xi in intervening in the treatment of fall behavior in the elderly.MethodsWe conducted a systematic review in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Four published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of traditional Chinese exercise interventions for the treatment of falls behavior in older adults were searched through authoritative databases such as CNKI, Web of Science, PubMed, EMbase and the Cochrane Library, all from the time of construction to November 2022.ResultsA total of 45 studies with 4 traditional interventions were included. Ba Duan Jin was more effective in improving TUGT [SMD = −1.93 (−2.49, −1.38), P DiscussionThe present evidence suggests that all four traditional Chinese body-building exercise therapies have a preventive effect on fall behavior in older adults. In clinical treatment and daily physical exercise, two exercises, BaDuan Jin and Yi Jin Jing, may be preferred to reduce the risk of falls in the elderly, but the exercise regimen of Qigong should be selected scientifically and rationally according to their actual conditions.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/#myprospero.</p
