Lost in Translation? Non-STEM Academics in the 'Entrepreneurial' University
This study set out to explore the ways in which non-STEM academics, working within UK universities that had positioned themselves publicly as ‘entrepreneurial’ institutions, interpret and negotiate the related concepts of the entrepreneurial academic and university. The entrepreneurial university …

Math Anxiety and Avoidance of Mathematics at The College Level: Undergraduate and Their Sense of Not Belonging in Math Classrooms
… math classes, and help-seeking behaviors among STEM and non-STEM majors. The study involved 41 participants, including 24 STEM majors and 17 non-STEM majors, all undergraduate college students aged 18 to 54. The results revealed that most students (39 out of 41) felt a sense of belonging in …

Understanding how adults approach technological challenges: A sequential mixed methods research
… and limited research on how engineers and non-engineers approach technological challenges. Prior studies have focused on the public's understanding of technology but limited research has been conducted on how people deal with technological challenges as part of their everyday lives. …

Differential Angiogenic Capability and Hypoxia Responses in Glioma Stem Cells
… characterized by florid angiogenesis. Glioma stem cells (GSCs), enriched through CD133 (Prominin1) selection, are highly tumorigenic and therapy resistance. However, the mechanism through which GSCs promote tumor growth was largely unknown. As we noticed that tumors derived from GSCs contain …

Assessing the Quantified Impact of a Hybrid POGIL Methodology on Student Averages in a Forensic Science Survey Course
… student gender, ethnicity, declared major (STEM or non-STEM), and SAT scores. An evaluation of the effect that these characteristics had on student achievement due to differentiating import placed on the use of POGILs as a learning tool was included. This study used data obtained from a …

Exploring Aesthetic Experiences in the Undergraduate General Education Science Classroom
Citizens must have a minimal level of STEM-literacy to work alongside scientists to tackle both current and future global challenges. How can general education, the one piece of the undergraduate experience every student completes, contribute to this development? And science learning is dependent …

The role of APC in cellular and tissue organisation in intestinal tumorigenesis
… intestinal tumorigenesis is initiated from a stem cell, with limited studies addressing the potential for adenomas originating from non-stem cells. I hypothesise that the stem cell supporting Paneth cells act as an intrinsic organising centre for the intestinal epithelia, thereby providing a …

DNA polymerase beta inhibitor pamoic acid : toxicity to metakaryotic human cancer stem cells (HT-29)
… hollow bell-shaped nuclei, or metakaryotic stem cells, are the post-embryonic stem cells of the fetal organs from about the fourth week post conception through physical maturity. These metakaryotic stem cells, after acquiring necessary genetic, and possibly other events, are also the stem …

Diagnostic Modeling of Intra-Organizational Mechanisms for Supporting Policy Implementation
… status. There was lower perceived support by STEM teachers than non-STEM teachers who have the same profile, suggesting that STEM teachers required differential support than non-STEM teachers. The precise diagnostic feedback on the implementation process provided by this application of …

Self-renewal pattern-associated genes and their role in adult stem cell functions
Molecular markers for adult stem cells (ASCs) are highly demanded for research and clinical applications. The development of specific molecular markers for ASCs has been difficult mainly due to the technical barriers in the identification and isolation of rare ASCs. Previously, reported …

UNDERSTANDING THE STRUCTURE AND CORRELATES OF NON-RIGID SPATIAL SKILLS
We developed and tested a novel measure of non-rigid, ductile spatial skill using knot reasoning. In Study 1, 279 US adults (M = 30.90 SD = 5.47 years; 76% White, 48% women) recruited through Prolific completed a 73-item knot reasoning task. Using Item Response Theory, we tested the reliability of …

Essays on human capital heterogeneity and agglomeration
… Our empirical results show people with non-STEM majors benefit more from locating within a city. Conversely, terminal degrees such as a J.D. or M.D. experience a smaller urban wage premium. Essay two studies the role of specialization of human capital types for individual productivity. …
