In this review, we explore the application of CRISPR-Cas9 in advancing therapies for these conditions, as well as its potential in targeting senescent cells. Since the risk of Alzheimer’s disease is strongly associated with genetic mutations and variations, the use of gene editing technologies to rectify these genetic errors by modifying disease-associated proteins becomes relevant. For cancer, to enhance immunotherapy approaches, modification of immune cells have been utilized to improve their anti-tumor efficacy. Additionally, the review also investigates the role of CRISPR-Cas9 in targeting senescent cells, which are implicated in both aging-related disorders and cancer progression. While challenges remain in introducing delivery methods and specificity, CRISPR-Cas9 represents a significant advancement in developing targeted, personalized treatments for these challenging health issues.","PeriodicalId":509244,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Knowledge Learning and Science Technology ISSN: 2959-6386 (online)","volume":"4 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141797197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A qualitative approach, using observation as the primary data collection method, was employed to examine the benefits of role-play in language classrooms. The study’s observations involved six pairs of 12 Vietnamese first-year students from Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade, enrolled in the Basic English module. Observation was the key data collection instrument. The key findings from observing the students' role-play performances revealed that role-play as a teaching technique can boost speaking and communication skills, foster a supportive environment for active learning, encourage collaboration, enhance cultural understanding, enhance problem-solving and critical thinking skills, as well as make learning more engaging and memorable. Consequently, role-play not only enhances language instruction but also cultivates positive behaviors, attitudes, and overall student engagement with learning beyond English.","PeriodicalId":509244,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Knowledge Learning and Science Technology ISSN: 2959-6386 (online)","volume":"22 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141796681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) constitute a major portion of the economic fabric in the United States, yet many struggle with limited resources and an inability to leverage insights from customer and market data at their disposal. This study seeks to explore how SMEs operating in various industries across the US can optimize their marketing strategies through the application of predictive analytics techniques. By focusing on identifying patterns and trends in structured and unstructured data related to areas such as customer behavior, competitors, and industry shifts, SMEs stand to gain actionable recommendations for improving key metrics like sales, customer retention, and profitability. The findings of this research have implications for SME leadership teams seeking data-driven approaches to gain competitive advantage in a digital era defined by information abundance.

It has been increasingly in the focus of research due to its pervasive negative effect on academic performance, self-esteem, and the general well-being of students. Even though state anxiety in relation to public speaking is not always severe enough to be diagnosed as a social anxiety disorder, it is prevalent among the student population and causes a significant obstacle to academic performance and student well-being. This study examines the causes, treatment approaches and treatment success of state anxiety in public speaking by analyzing previous empirical studies, with the aim of identifying the most effective treatment approach. Results show that state anxiety in public speaking can be successfully tackled with emotion reappraisal, cognitive-behavioral group counselling, and embodied approaches. A comprehensive integrated literature review methodology explores each study's methods and contributions to state anxiety in relation to public speaking research and academic discourse.\u0000Sažetak\u0000Anksioznost stanja negativna je emocija koju pojedinci često doživljavaju svakodnevno u situacijama u kojima se zahtijeva učinak i u kojima pojedinci osjećaju prijetnju od neuspjeha ili neugodnosti. Sve je više u fokusu istraživanja zbog svog sveprisutnog negativnog učinka na akademsku izvedbu, samopoštovanje i opću dobrobit učenika. Iako anksioznost stanja u vezi s javnim govorom nije uvijek dovoljno jaka da bi se dijagnosticirala kao socijalni anksiozni poremećaj, prevladava među studentskom populacijom i uzrokuje značajnu prepreku akademskom uspjehu i dobrobiti studenata. Ovo istraživanje ispituje uzroke, pristupe liječenju i uspješnost liječenja stanja anksioznosti u javnom govoru analizirajući prethodna empirijska istraživanja, s ciljem identificiranja najučinkovitijeg pristupa liječenju. Rezultati pokazuju da se stanje anksioznosti u javnom govoru može uspješno riješiti preispitivanjem emocija, kognitivno-bihevioralnim grupnim savjetovanjem i utjelovljenim pristupima.

We contend that meticulously crafted coursebooks, when used proficiently, may serve as gateways to developing essential communication aptitudes, cultural consciousness, and pragmatic negotiation proficiencies. Through interesting case studies, interactive activities, and simulations, students obtain genuine experience in composing emails, making presentations, and participating in negotiations, increasing confidence and enhancing their employability potential.
