Is the student-centered learning style more effective than the teacher-student double-centered learning style in improving reading performance?
No full textAppropriate learning styles enhance the academic performance of students. This research compares and contrasts the popular effect of teacher-student double centered learning style (TSDCLS) and student-centered learning style (SCLS) on one’s reading, including reading comprehension, inference, main idea abstraction, and reading anxiety. One hundred and fifty one students in grade 4 from three groups (two experimental groups and one control group) participated in the experiment with 18 weeks’ reading comprehension training. The results showed that, first, both learning styles contributed to students’ reading comprehension, inference, main idea abstraction, and reading anxiety. Second, the TSDCLS contributed more to reading anxiety, and the SCLS contributed more to reading comprehension. Both learning styles had similar effects on inference and main idea abstraction. From the correlation test, excluding the correlation between SCLS and reading anxiety which was not significant, all other effects were significant. These findings are discussed along with implications and ideas for future research
The affective facial recognition task: The influence of cognitive styles and exposure times
No full textThe main task of emotional facial recognition is to understand human emotion expression through the recognition of facial expressions, so as to achieve more effective communication and interpersonal communication. Therefore, facial recognition plays an important role in people's daily lives. In addition, the research of facial recognition is also helpful to understand the human perception processing mode, and promote the development of pattern recognition, cognitive science, neural network and other fields. With the development of cognitive science, facial recognition technology has been continuously improved, and emotional facial recognition tasks have received attention in the fields of pattern recognition and artificial intelligence, and have become a research hotspot. Among them, pattern recognition is a cognitive system applied to many fields. For the first time, we confirmed the effects of facial memory time, personal cognitive style, and emotions associated with the target face on facial recognition patterns. This study measured the impact of time, cognitive style, and emotional type of 62 qualified college students. The research results show that cognitive style and facial emotional content are of great significance for face pattern recognition. Specifically, students classified as “dependent” have achieved good results in face pattern recognition, and positive and negative strong emotional faces have left behind those who show neutral emotions. A deeper impression. Finally, an unusual phenomenon was discovered, which indicates that the shorter the time spent on the face of the memory, the higher the recognition score

Reading comprehension and metalinguistic knowledge in Chinese readers: a meta-analysis
No full textMetalinguistic knowledge has a facilitative effect on reading comprehension. This meta-analysis examined the relationship between metalinguistic knowledge and reading comprehension among Chinese students. By focusing on both Chinese and English scripts’ reading comprehension performance, this study synthesized 46 studies with 73 independent samples that represented 10,793 Chinese students from primary school to university levels. We found that, in both Chinese and English scripts’ reading, morphological awareness had the strongest correlation with reading comprehension, whereas both phonological awareness and orthographical skill had a similar medium correlation with reading comprehension. All three metalinguistic knowledge, which was not significantly influenced by the selected moderators of grade group, area, language type, and assessment, had an independent correlation with reading comprehension. The results suggested that reading stages did not significantly impact the function of metalinguistic knowledge on both Chinese and English scripts’ reading comprehension for Chinese students’. In addition, for Chinese students, morphological awareness plays a more important role than phonological awareness and orthographical skill in both Chinese and English scripts’ reading comprehension
Intraspecific variation in Phragmites australis: Clinal adaption of functional traits and phenotypic plasticity vary with latitude of origin
No full text1. Widespread plant species generally have high intraspecific variation in functional traits, which is reflected in their great variety of phenotypes. This variety can result from both genetic differences due to local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity. With high intraspecific variation and nearly global distribution, the common reed Phragmites australis is a suitable model species for studying the underlying mechanisms of intraspecific trait variation.
2. In this study, 71 genotypes of P. australis from seven phylogeographic groups were transplanted into two replicate common gardens located in very different climates: northern Europe and mid‐east Asia. We measured seven functional traits of all these genotypes over the growing season, including shoot height, maximum biomass per shoot, shoot density, node number per stem, leaf life span, flowering occurrence and flowering date. Our aim was to assess the relative effects of genetic (phylogeographic origin) and environmental (common garden) status, and interactions between them, on intraspecific variation in functional traits of P. australis.
3. We found common garden having the strongest influence on most functional traits studied. All traits except flowering occurrence varied significantly across gardens, revealing the important role of phenotypic plasticity on trait variation in P. australis. We also found significant differences in trait variation among the different phylogeographic groups of P. australis and, thus, evidence for genetically determined intraspecific variation in the morphological and life‐history traits addressed in this study. All functional traits showed significant (p ≤ 0.0054), albeit minor to moderately explained (R2 ≤ 0.57), latitudinal patterns in both gardens. Covariation of multiple traits was similar in the two gardens. Phenotypic plasticity was trait‐ specific, and the plasticity of shoot height and maximum biomass per shoot increased towards higher latitude of genotypic origin. Our results indicate that the latitude of origin affects the evolution of functional traits, as well as their phenotypic plasticity.
4. Since phenotypic plasticity is a crucial mechanism for acclimation and evolution, our findings support the role of gene‐based adaptive phenotypic plasticity in plant evolution. The intraspecific spatial variation in functional traits and their phenotypic plasticity can help predict species distribution, persistence and invasion under global climate change

Sustainable protein sources from greenhouses : Desk study
No full textDe demand for sustainable protein sources has increased in recent years. Rearing edible insects using side streams from greenhouses and high protein crops grown in greenhouses can contribute to this demand. Wageningen University & Research has explored the possibilities in a deskstudy. Edible insects such as mealworms, crickets and locust species contain quality proteins, but also unsaturated fat, vitamins and minerals. They can be reared on various waste streams from greenhouse crops, but proteins and lipids should be added to the diet. The major plant protein sources are legumes and oilseeds, which are often used to generate animal protein-like products. Several crops were screened on their potential for greenhouse production on the criteria high nutrition value, suitability for high-wire cultivation and absence of legal issues. Lupin species and faba beans meet these requirements
