Assessing the Impact of Interactive Educational Videos and Screencasts Within Pre-clinical Microanatomy and Medical Physiology Teaching
Adv Exp Med Biol. 2022;1356:319-343. doi: 10.1007/978-3-030-87779-8_14.ABSTRACTModern medical curricula adopt the use self-directed learning approaches, which frequently include the use of technology enhanced learning resources. Often, students prefer those which are available via mobile devices because it can facilitate flexibility and autonomy with their learning, more so than with traditional modalities. Although the production value of resources may be appealing to users, those that work most effectively for education align well to existing pedagogies. One such pedagogy is the cognitive theory of multimedia learning. I...

Effects of calorie labelling and contextual factors on hypothetical coffee shop menu choices
This study examined the effects of calorie labelling and two key contextual factors (reflective motivation and habits) on the calorie content of hypothetical coffee-shop menu choices. In one exploratory (n = 70) and one pre-registered (n = 300) laboratory study (Studies 1 and 2 respectively), participants viewed a hypothetical calorie-labelled or non calorie-labelled menuboard and selected their preferred item(s). Coffee shop drinking habits were measured using the Self-Report Habit Index, and reflective motivation (relating to calorie intake) was assessed with three items asking about watching weight, eating healthily, an...

Essential Oils of Six Achillea Species: Chemical Profiles, Antimicrobial Potential and Toxicity toward Crustaceans
Chem Biodivers. 2022 Jan 13. doi: 10.1002/cbdv.202100905. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis is the first comparative study on antimicrobial activity of essential oils (EOs) of six Achillea species ( A. crithmifolia , A. distans , A. grandifolia , A. millefolium , A. nobilis , and A. lingulata ) against ATCC and clinical microbial strains isolated from human swabs and on their toxicological potential on crustaceans. Oxygenated monoterpenes represented the major compound class in all six EOs, ranging from around 50% ( A. millefolium , A. nobilis , and A. lingulata ) up to over 80% ( A . crithmifolia and A. grandifolia ). Sp...

TLC-Based Metabolite Profiling and Bioactivity-Based Scientific Validation for Use of Water Extracts in AYUSH Formulations
Evid Based Complement Alternat Med. 2021 Dec 31;2021:2847440. doi: 10.1155/2021/2847440. eCollection 2021.ABSTRACTWe aimed to develop a chromatographic method for scientific validation of water extract of some important Indian traditional plants used in AYUSH-based formulation as immunomodulator and to evaluate their bioactive potential. Fruits of Phyllanthus emblica L. and Piper nigrum L., stem of Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Miers, rhizome of Curcuma longa L., leaves of Ocimum sanctum L. and Achillea millefolium L., roots of Withania somnifera L., and stem bark of Azadirachta indica A. Juss. were coarsely powdered and e...

Neural-latency noise places limits on human sensitivity to the timing of events
Cognition. 2022 Jan 6;222:105012. doi: 10.1016/j.cognition.2021.105012. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe brain-time account posits that the physical timing of sensory-evoked neural activity determines the perceived timing of corresponding sensory events. A canonical model formalises this account for tasks such as simultaneity and order judgements: Signals arrive at a decision centre in an order, and at a temporal offset, shaped by neural propagation times. This model assumes that the noise affecting people's temporal judgements is primarily neural-latency noise, i.e. variation in propagation times across trials, but this ...
