EXPLOITING THE LINKED TEACHING AND LEARNING INTERNATIONAL SURVEY AND PROGRAMME FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ASSESSMENT DATA IN EXAMINING SCHOOL EFFECTS: A CASE STUDY OF SINGAPORE

This paper attempts to demonstrate the usefulness of the linkage data from two international large-scale assessment studies, Teaching and Learning International Survey 2013 (TALIS) 2013 and Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2012, in examining the effects of schools.Data from seven educational systems are used to link, and four c

The role of the peptide hormone gastrin in stimulating gastric acid secretion is well established.Mature amidated gastrin is processed 8 Channel LOC from larger peptide precursor forms.Increasingly these processing intermediates, such as glycine-extended gastrin (G-Gly) and progastrin, have been shown to have biological activities of their own, oft

In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that space weather disturbances can be triggered by transient upstream mesoscale structures (TUMS), independently of the occurrence of large-scale solar wind (SW) Face Mirrors structures, such as interplanetary coronal mass ejections and stream interaction regions.Different types of magnetospheric p

Background: It has been found that ankle joint impingement can cause articular cartilage injury, and the change of subchondral bone density and distribution under long-term stress loading can reflect the stress interaction of the articular surface and the Shipping Protection difference in bone remodeling degree and predict the location of cartilage
