Previous studies indicate that a teacher-centered context could hinder undergraduates from self-regulated learning (SRL), whereas learner-centered promote SRL. However, SRL development between and has not directly compared in undergraduate settings. Also, it is still unclear how contextual change toward influence students, who are strongly accustomed to learning. We conducted three focus groups examined 13 Japanese medical students left traditional curriculum composed of didactic lectures...
Background Amyloid-β (Aβ) deposit prediction accuracy is necessary for clinicians treating patients desiring Alzheimer's disease (AD) modifying drugs. Aβ-PET imaging useful diagnosis, but high in cost compared to brain perfusion SPECT. However, SPECT displays regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and does not detect Aβ deposits, therefore requiring additional clinical information. Objective This article describes a novel statistical method predict amyloid deposits via PET images (Aβ+ or Aβ−)...
Abstract Background Developing self-regulated learning in preclinical settings is important for future lifelong learning. Previous studies indicate professional identity formation, i.e., formation of self-identity with internalized values and norms professionalism, might promote We designed a formation-oriented reflection plan format, then tested effectiveness on raising year curriculum.

Background: Interventions to prevent or attenuate cognitive decline and dementia in older adults are becoming increasingly important. Recently, training exercise can be via computer mobile technology for independent home use. Recent meta-analysis has reported that Computerized Cognitive Training (CCT) is effective at enhancing function healthy Alzheimer’s disease adults, although little known about individual characteristics of each computerized program. Objective: We developed a new CCT...
