Worked examples, cognitive aptitudes and the self‐explanation mechanism – A replication

British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Self‐explaining is an engagement activity that supports learners' active use of instructional scaffolds such as worked examples. Self‐explanation quality is assumed to mediate the worked example effect on learning outcomes. However, prior investigations have relied on analytical approaches limited in scope and quality or have ...

Sterba on Liberty and Welfarism

Analyse & Kritik, 2015
Abstract James Sterba advances several arguments designed to show that libertarianism, contrary to what this author and other libertarians think, actually implies support for welfarism and even egalitarianism. This discussion shows why his arguments do not work.

Estimation of comparable standardized mean differences in cluster randomized trials with covariate adjustment

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Standardized mean differences (SMDs) are widely used to quantify treatment effects in cluster‐randomized trials. However, covariate adjustment in hierarchical linear models reduces the residual variance components used for standardization, which artificially inflates effect size estimates and undermines comparability across studies. We propose

Equilibrium curves and growth models to deal with forests in transition to uneven-aged structure – application in two sample stands

Silva Fennica, 2004
Stem number distributions in uneven-aged forests are assumed to be stable, if they follow special functions, e.g. de Liocourt’s reverse J-shaped breast height diameter distribution.

sGC stimulator BAY 41‐8543 improves survival and ventricular function in a rat model of doxorubicin‐induced cardiomyopathy with nephrotic syndrome

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Anthracyclines such as doxorubicin (DOXO) remain a cornerstone of cancer therapy but are associated with a high risk of cardiotoxicity and subsequent heart failure (HF). Impairment of NO/soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC)/cGMP pathway has been reported in anthracycline‐induced cardiomyopathy.

Unconditional Variance Estimation Under Complex Surveys

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary The unconditional framework treats the samples and the variables of interest as random variables. This is particularly suitable with analytic inference, when modelling survey data. We show that variance estimation does not involve finite population corrections and joint‐inclusion probabilities, even with large sampling fractions and under ...

Identity‐Based Motivation: Testing Assumptions of Ecological Validity, Individual Differences and Within‐Person Fluctuations

Journal of Personality, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction‐Objective We outline and test three key assumptions of identity‐based motivation theory. First, in everyday life, people draw both difficulty‐as‐importance and difficulty‐as‐impossibility inferences when tasks or goals feel hard to think about (ecological validity).

Is Moral Identity Flexible or Firm? Evidence From Experience Sampling Data

Journal of Personality, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Theories of moral identity diverge in whether moral identity primarily reflects stable individual differences (“firm” models) or situationally driven fluctuations (“flexible” models). Despite extensive theorizing, little empirical work has quantified the relative contribution of these two sources of variability in everyday life ...

Mercy: A Right and a Privilege

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many accounts of mercy nowadays are morally neutral; agents show mercy when they impose less harm than they might have, whether or not such harm would have been permissible. More morally infused perspectives are often dismissed; for they seem too narrow to capture the full gamut of ordinary usage.

Comparative Analysis of Three Vertebral Screw Placement Directions in Anterior Thoracolumbar Fracture Surgery: A Finite Element Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1464-1477, May 2025.
This study compares the biomechanical effects of three anterior fixation systems in thoracolumbar surgery—HXTL, NHXTL, and Medtronic's CD Horizon ANTERIOR. Finite element analysis evaluates stress and displacement across vertebral bodies and support structures under varying load conditions. Results indicate the HXTL system minimizes nail–rod stress yet
