Determining factors influencing middle school teachers in demonstrating test score inflation

International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education
This study examines the determinants of test score inflation among middle school teachers within Türkiye’s exam-driven education system. Test score inflation -defined as increasing students’ scores beyond actual performance due to internal or external ...

Permanent Income and the Black-White Test Score Gap [PDF]

Analysts often examine the black-white test score gap conditional on family income. Typically only a current income measure is available. We argue that the gap conditional on permanent income is of greater interest, and we describe a method for ...

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Goodness-of-fit tests for a heavy tailed distribution [PDF]

For testing whether a distribution function is heavy tailed, we study theKolmogorov test, Berk-Jones test, score test and their integratedversions. A comparison is conducted via Bahadur efficiency and simulations.The score test and the integrated score ...

Transcriptional network analysis of PTEN‐protein‐deficient prostate tumors reveals robust stromal reprogramming and signs of senescent paracrine communication

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Combining PTEN protein assessment and transcriptomic profiling of prostate tumors, we uncovered a network enriched in senescence and extracellular matrix (ECM) programs associated with PTEN loss and conserved in a mouse model. We show that PTEN‐deficient cells trigger paracrine remodeling of the surrounding stroma and this information could help ...

The Source of Lake Wobegon [updated]

Nonpartisan Education Review, 2010
John J. Cannell's late 1980's "Lake Wobegon" reports suggested widespread deliberateeducator manipulation of norm-referenced standardized test (NRT) administrations and results,resulting in artificial test score gains.

PARP inhibition and pharmacological ascorbate demonstrate synergy in castration‐resistant prostate cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pharmacologic ascorbate (vitamin C) increases ROS, disrupts cellular metabolism, and induces DNA damage in CRPC cells. These effects sensitize tumors to PARP inhibition, producing synergistic growth suppression with olaparib in vitro and significantly delayed tumor progression in vivo. Pyruvate rescue confirms ROS‐dependent activity.
