    Abstract Due to the rapid development of teaching and learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL), on the one hand, and the arrival of positive psychology (PP) in the process of language education, on the other hand, student engagement has been burgeoned and got a noteworthy role in the academic field. The present review attempts to investigate the relationship of grit with students' L2 engagement, by examining both backgrounds and consequences of grit. Consequently, the effectiveness of findings for policymakers and academic experts is discussed, along with the prominence of strengthening grit in the scholastic contexts in order to cultivate character in learners and improve their prospects.

    Abstract Zebrafish, an essential vertebrate model, has greatly expanded our understanding of hearing. However, one area that remains unexplored is the biomechanics of the Weberian apparatus, crucial for sound conduction and perception. Using micro-computed tomography (μCT) bioimaging, we created three-dimensional finite element models of the zebrafish Weberian ossicles. These models ranged from the exact size to scaled isometric versions with constrained geometry (1 to 10 mm in ossicular chain length). Harmonic finite element analysis of all 11 models revealed that the resonance frequency of the zebrafish's Weberian ossicular chain is approximately 900 Hz, matching their optimal hearing range. Interestingly, resonance frequency negatively correlated with size, while the ratio of peak displacement and difference of resonance frequency between tripus and scaphium remained constant. This suggests the transmission efficiency of the ossicular chain and the homogeneity of resonance frequency at both ends of the chain are not size-dependent. We conclude that the Weberian apparatus's resonance frequency can explain zebrafish's best hearing frequency, and their biomechanical characteristics are not influenced by isometric ontogeny. As the first biomechanical modelling of atympanic ear and among the few non-human ear modelling, this study provides a methodological framework for further investigations into hearing mechanisms and the hearing evolution of vertebrates.

    Abstract The density peak clustering algorithm is a density based clustering algorithm. The shortcomings of the density peak clustering algorithm are sensitive to parameters and poor clustering results on complex manifold data sets. A novel density peak clustering algorithm is proposed in this paper, which is based on the natural reverse nearest neighbor structure. First of all, reverse nearest neighbor is introduced to calculate the local density of data objects. Then, the initial cluster centers are selected by combining the representative points and the density. Furthermore, the density adaptive distance is used to calculate the distance between the initial cluster centers, the decision graph is constructed on the initial cluster centers by using the local density calculated based on reverse nearest neighbor and the density adaptive distance, and the final cluster centers are selected according to the decision graph. Finally, the remaining data objects are assigned to the same cluster as their nearest initial cluster centers belong to. The experimental results show that the algorithm has better clustering effect and accuracy compared with the experimental comparison algorithms on the synthetic data sets and UCI real data sets, and it has greater advantages in dealing with complex manifold data sets.

    Abstract Driven by internet technology, online has become the main way of news dissemination, but redundant information such as navigation bars and advertisements affects people's access to news content. The research aims to enable users to obtain pure news content from redundant web information. Firstly, based on the narrative characteristics of literary news, the Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) algorithm is employed to extract pure news content from the analyzed web pages. The algorithm uses keyword matching, text analysis, and semantic processing to determine news content's boundaries and key information. Secondly, the news text classification algorithm (support vector machine, K-nearest neighbor, AdaBoost algorithm) is selected through comparative experiments. The news extraction system based on keyword feature and extended Document Object Model (DOM) tree is constructed. DOM technology analyzes web page structure and extracts key elements and information. Finally, the research can get their narrative characteristics by studying the narrative sequence and structure of 15 American literary news reports. The results reveal that the most used narrative sequence in American literary news is sequence and flashback. The narrative duration is dominated by the victory rate and outline, supplemented by scenes and pauses. In addition, 53.3% of the narrative structures used in literary news are time-connected. This narrative structure can help reporters have a clear conceptual structure when writing, help readers quickly grasp and understand the context of the event and the life course of the protagonists in the report, and increase the report's readability. This research on the narrative characteristics of American literature news can provide media practitioners with a reference on news narrative techniques and strategies.

    Abstract Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are critical in promoting tumor progression and therapeutic resistance. In adapting to metabolic changes in the tumor microenvironment (TME), TAMs reprogram their metabolisms and acquire immunosuppressive and pro-tumor properties. Increased glucose metabolism in TAMs leads to the accumulation of a variety of oncometabolites that exhibit potent tumor-promoting capacity via regulating gene expression and signaling transduction. Glucose uptake also fuels O-GlcNAcylation and other post-translational modifications to promote pro-tumor polarization and function of TAMs. Glucose metabolism coordinates interactions between TAMs and various types of cells in the TME, creating a complex network that facilitates tumor progression. Targeting glucose metabolism represents a promising strategy to switch TAMs from pro-tumor toward anti-tumor function for cancer therapy.

    Abstract Autoimmunity and autoinflammation arise from aberrant immunological and inflammatory responses toward self-components, contributing to various autoimmune diseases and autoinflammatory diseases. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are essential for immune cell development and function, mainly via exerting post-transcriptional regulation of RNA metabolism and function. Functional dysregulation of RBPs and abnormities in RNA metabolism are closely associated with multiple autoimmune or autoinflammatory disorders. Distinct RBPs play critical roles in aberrant autoreactive inflammatory responses via orchestrating a complex regulatory network consisting of DNAs, RNAs and proteins within immune cells. In-depth characterizations of RBP-RNA interactomes during autoimmunity and autoinflammation will lead to a better understanding of autoimmune pathogenesis and facilitate the development of effective therapeutic strategies. In this review, we summarize and discuss the functions of RBP-RNA interactions in controlling aberrant autoimmune inflammation and their potential as biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

    Abstract Gallbladder duplication is a rare biliary tract malformation. According to Boyden's classification, the double gallbladder is divided into the bilobed gallbladder and truly duplicated gallbladder, including the Y-shaped [cystic ducts uniting before entering the common bile duct (CBD)] and H-shaped (cystic ducts separately entering into the CBD) types. The case described here was the Boyden H-shaped type. Preoperative diagnosis of the disease is essential to rationalize surgical planning and avoid complications. Transabdominal ultrasound is the first imaging technique that can diagnose biliary tract abnormality at many institutions. The popularization of typical ultrasound images of the double gallbladder could aid in surgical planning and avoiding complications.

    Abstract In this letter, a dual-polarized metal Vivaldi phased array antenna composed of independent structural elements is proposed, covering 6-18 GHz. By designing Vivaldi elements with a flexible and complementary structure, arrays of arbitrary shapes and scales can be constructed. The resonance caused by structural discontinuity is critically studied and eliminated to ensure good performance across the entire band. The antenna elements are fed by 50-Ohm SSMP connectors and manufactured from 2A12 aluminum alloy. An array prototype consisting of 8 × 8 dual-polarized metal has been fabricated and tested with active transmit/receive (T/R) modules to demonstrate the design concept. The array exhibits excellent beam-scanning characteristics in both the E-plane and H-plane, within the scanning range without grating lobes, which shows good agreement with the simulated results. The measured gain results are within the range of 15.2 to 24.8 dBi, and the aperture efficiencies are greater than 91% in the entire operating band. The wideband antenna technology involved in this study can effectively help increase the capacity of communication systems and meets the intentions of the Special Issue.
