Morphological awareness (MA), defined as ‘the conscious awareness of morphemic structures of words and the ability to reflect on and manipulate that structure’ (Carlisle, 1995, p. 194), is a significant predictor of word reading, spelling and comprehension (see Ruan et al., 2018, for a meta-analysis). MA appears to develop early in childhood.

By George M. Georgiou “By spending more on defence, we will deliver the stability that underpins economic growth, and will unlock prosperity through new jobs, skills and opportunity across the country”, Keir Starmer, press release, 25 February 2025 Introduction  Europe’s commitment to rearm as a response to the perceived threat from Russia, has been partly justified on the grounds that an increase in military spending will stimulate economic growth.

AbstractDuring mitosis, eukaryotic cells cease anterograde trafficking from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) towards the Golgi. This cessation corresponds with the dispersal of the COPII transport protein, Sec24C, from juxtanuclear ER exit sites (ERES) into a diffusely cytosolic pool. Redistribution of Sec24 paralogs and other core COPII proteins may underlie the mitotic pause in secretion and may be required for the equal inheritance of endomembrane organelles and machinery by both daughter cells.

ABSTRACTPurpose We contrasted the responsiveness to two theoretically driven Tier 2 reading interventions. Method Participants were 273 struggling readers (Mage = 7.7 years, 53.1% female) in Grades 2 and 3 in Canada. The first intervention taught phonics plus Set-for-Variability (SfV) and the second intervention taught phonics plus morphology within a pre-post-delayed posttest cluster RCT trial.

Physical and sports performance can benefit from various supplemental and nutritional intervention strategies. There is increasing interest in the ergogenic benefit of beta-alanine, which is the precursor to the histidine-containing dipeptide carnosine (β-alanyl-L-histidine), itself shown to have a key role in acid–base regulation during exercise, with other important health-linked roles (such as antioxidant and anti-glycation properties) also posited (Sale et al., 2013).
