Iron homeostasis disruption and lipid peroxidation in skeletal muscle during short‐term immobilization

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
14‐day casting‐induced immobilization reduced gastrocnemius muscle mass and increased non‐heme iron and ferritin heavy chain levels. Despite iron accumulation, transferrin receptor 1 and iron regulatory protein 2 were paradoxically upregulated. Lipid peroxidation was elevated without compensatory antioxidant responses.

Comparing Different IRT Equating Methods Based on Test Equity Property for Mixed-Format Test Equating

open access: yes, 2015
In this study, Item Response Theory (IRT) true-score equating and observed-score equating methods were compared based on preserving test equity property.

Combined 5‐aminolevulinic acid and ferric ammonium citrate treatment promotes hair follicle growth by activating dermal papilla cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
5‐Aminolevulinic acid combined with ferric ammonium citrate (5‐ALA/FAC) stimulates dermal papilla cell activity and promotes hair follicle growth. The treatment enhances ERK and AKT signaling, increases hair‐inductive gene expression, and restores dermal papilla function suppressed by dihydrotestosterone and oxidative stress, resulting in enhanced hair

Investigating Group Invariance of Equating Results

open access: yes, 2017
In this study, it was investigated that Item Response Theory (IRT) equating results whether or not group invariant. Group invariance of equating functions means that equating is same for everyone in the population.

Equating tests under the nominal response model

open access: yes, 1993
Under item response theory, test equating involves finding the coefficients of a linear transformation of the metric of one test to that of another.

Large‐scale bidirectional arrayed genetic screens identify OXR1 and EMC4 as modifiers of αSynuclein aggregation

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Activation of the mitochondrial protein OXR1 increases pSyn129 αSynuclein aggregation by lowering ATP levels and altering mitochondrial membrane potential, particularly in response to MSA‐derived fibrils. In contrast, ablation of the ER protein EMC4 enhances autophagic flux and lysosomal clearance, broadly reducing α‐synuclein aggregates.

IRT Observed-score Kernel Equating [Elektronisk resurs]

open access: yes, 2014
Item response theory (IRT) observed-score kernel equating is described for thenon-equivalent groups with anchor test equating design using either chain equating orpost-stratification equating.

Standard errors of Tucker equating

open access: yes, 1985
Large sample standard errors are derived for the Tucker linear test score equating method under the common item nonequivalent populations design. Standard errors are derived without the normality assumption that is commonly made in the derivation of ...

The skills required for transition to university and study in biological sciences: A student perspective

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Bioscience students were asked for their opinions on the value and teaching of skills. 204 responded that teamwork, time management and study skills are necessary to reach University, that scientific writing, research, laboratory and presentation skills are taught effectively during their studies, while other skills are gained inherently through study ...

Models for equating in cognitive tests

open access: yes, 2023
This thesis focuses on statistical methods for equating cognitive tests, which is the process of transforming scores from multiple test versions to ensure their comparability.
