Assessment
The recent integration of traditional time series analysis and confirmatory factor analysis techniques allows researchers to evaluate the psychometric properties of measurement instruments at between- and within-persons levels while accounting for autoregressive dependencies. The current study applies a dynamic structural equation modeling (SEM) la...

Microelectrode arrays (MEAs) play a crucial role in investigating the electrophysiological activities of neuronal populations. Although two-dimensional neuronal cell cultures have predominated in neurophysiology in monitoring in-vitro the electrophysiological activity, recent research shifted toward culture using three-dimensional (3D) neuronal net...

A long-standing argument in the political sciences holds that high levels of inequality are incompatible with democracy. Although a number of studies have by now investigated whether income inequality endangers democratic consolidation and stability through corroding popular support, the findings remain inconclusive. This study provides new evidenc...

To determine which interventions work best for which students, precision education researchers can examine aptitude-treatment interactions (ATI) or skill-by-treatment interactions (STI) using longitudinal multilevel modeling. Probing techniques like the slopes difference test fit an ATI or STI framework, but power for using slopes difference tests ...

Objectives Preventive actions of sedentary behavior (SB) based on the socio-ecological model are needed among children and young adolescents. The aim of this systematic review is to ascertain the effectiveness of multilevel interventions (i.e., involving consideration of at least two interventional levels) in reducing sedentary time (ST) in childre...

Retrospective cohort study. To investigate the usefulness of selective single-level lumbar endoscopic unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression (LE-ULBD) in patients with radiological multilevel lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and clarify the predictive factors of reoperation. A total of 128 patients who underwent LE-ULBD of radiological multi...

BACKGROUND: Teachers may play a key role in reducing bullying by responding to incidents among students. Inspired by the theory of planned behaviour, several studies have investigated teachers' bullying-related cognitions as predictors of their responses to bullying. AIMS: This study investigated whether six teachers' bullying-related cognitions (i...

Distributed generation and storage systems have become important in the residential building environment. One of the more promising power electronic interfaces between these systems and the grid/building are multiport modular multilevel converters (MPMMCs). These converters can potentially improve efficiency and flexibility, however their control c...

Diagnosis
Context in diagnosis and management of patients is a vexing phenomenon in medicine and health professions education that can lead to unwanted variation in clinical reasoning performance and even errors that cause patient harm. Studies have examined individual-, team-, and system-level contextual factors, but the ways in which multiple contextual fa...

Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) at 3 or more levels remains challenging, with reported high pseudarthrosis rates and implant-related complications. Porous surface polyetheretherketone (PEEK) interbody cages are newer implants for ACDF with limited data available for their use in ACDF procedures at 3 or more levels. The objective of t...
