We re-examine the importance of instruction time for student achievement on international assessments. We successfully replicate the positive effect of weekly instruction time in the seminal paper by Lavy (Economic Journal, 125, F397-F424) in a narrow sense. Extending the analysis to other international assessments, we find effects that are consistently smaller in magnitude. We provide evidence th
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited disorder that results in vision impairment but general and mutation-independent therapeutic strategies are not available. However, it is widely regarded that the cGMP system, including cGMP and its interactor cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG), acts as a crucial effector during retinal degeneration. We have previously identified a list of cGMP-PKG-depende
Hip-related pain is an umbrella term encompassing pain from non-arthritic hip joint pathologies, such as femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, hip dysplasia, and labral tears. Exercise therapy is commonly recommended for these conditions, but the reporting completeness of these interventions is currently unclear. Purpose The aim of this systematic review was to assess the reporting completeness o
The present paper presents a continuation of the work on navigational tools studied in two pilot tests [1], [2]. To further test the tools most popular in these pilot tests, as well as investigate possible influences on the spatial perception by different
Abstract in UndeterminedThe aim of this study was to investigate how well subjects beat out a rhythm using eye movements and to establish the most accurate method of doing this. Eighteen subjects participated in an experiment were five different methods were evaluated and a fixation based method was found to be the most accurate. All subjects were able to synchronize their eye movements with a giv
Presentation of three hitherto unknown films by Reinhold Holtermann (1899 - 1960), "Stockholmsbilder - experiment" (1929), "Baptisdop i Bohuslän" (1930), "Berlin - Milano 1938" (1938).
This study investigates the feminisation of the Swedish commercial bank sector between 1885 and 1937, during which time the female labour share increased from 10 to 27 per cent. More specifically, it is examined why the banks hired women, and why they did not hire women to an even greater extent. The study employs a queue-theoretical framework, and a micro-level panel database constructed from the
In this paper a time domain formulation of the first and second precursor in a dispersive materials is reviewed. These precursors are determined by the susceptibility kernel of the medium, which characterizes the medium in a time domain formulation. The propagator operators of the fields are corner stones in the formulation. These operators are then approximated by a pertinent factorization procedur
