The Estimation of Item Response Models with the lmer Function from the lme4 Package in R
In this paper we elaborate on the potential of the lmer function from the lme4 package in R for item response (IRT) modeling. In line with the package, an IRT framework is described based on generalized linear mixed modeling. The aspects of the framework

Item Response Theory Analysis of the Classroom Level Adversity Scale
ABSTRACT The Classroom Level Adversity Scale (CLA) captures teachers' perceptions of the overall needs and challenges present in their classrooms. It reflects a collective classroom characteristic based on teacher report, providing insight into the degree of ecological risk teachers perceive when working with their students.

Broke Autocrats, Broken Elections: Trade Shocks and Electoral Fraud in Autocracies
ABSTRACT We argue that when terms‐of‐trade (ToT) shocks reduce resource rents, autocrats lose the fiscal capacity to sustain loyalty through patronage and increasingly rely on electoral manipulation as a survival strategy. We present a simple model in which rents finance patronage in normal times, while adverse shocks reduce the effectiveness of ...

Alternative Polyadenylation Dynamics During the Rice Blast Immune Response
In rice, infection by the blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae triggers genome‐wide alternative polyadenylation (APA) dynamics, leading to widespread 3′ UTR shortening in stress‐responsive transcripts. This shortening enables immunity‐related genes to evade miRNA‐mediated suppression.
