the relationship between eq, iq and test format: a study on test fairness
the major aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between iq, eq and test format in the light of test fairness considerations. this study took this relationship into account to see if people with different eq and iq performed differently on different test formats. to this end, 90 advanced learners of english form college of ferdowsi university of mashhad were chosen. they were ask...
15 صفحه اولThe dual origin of modern humanity.
Living Homo sapiens can define itself using both behavioral and anatomical uniquenesses. But is this possible when looking backward? Using a strict morphological definition, Homo sapiens can probably be traced back in the fossil record to about 150 kyr ago, which fits well with molecular estimates for the ancestor of all living human populations. However, activities reliably indicating establis...
متن کاملAdrenal incidentalomas: a disease of modern technology.
The adrenal âincidentalomaâ (AI) is an adrenal tumour greater than 1cm in diameter that is discovered incidentally during a radiologic examination performed for indications other than an evaluation of adrenal disease. 1,2,5,11,12 It is typically found on a CT scan done for other purposes and frequently causes much grief to the clinician who is unsure how to act upon the finding. Most AIs ar...
متن کاملEvidence-based genetic counselling implications for Huntington disease intermediate allele predictive test results.
Intermediate alleles (IAs) for Huntington disease (HD) contain 27-35 CAG repeats, a range that falls just below the disease threshold of 36 repeats. While there is no firm evidence that IAs confer the HD phenotype, they are prone to germline CAG repeat instability, particularly repeat expansion when paternally transmitted. Consequently, offspring may inherit a new mutation and develop the disea...
متن کاملCrimes against Humanity in the Modern Age
Despite the promises made after World War II to eliminate the commission of atrocities, crimes against humanity persist with horrifying ubiquity. Yet the absence of a consistent definition and uniform interpretation of crimes against humanity has made it difficult to establish the theory underlying such crimes and to prosecute them in particular cases. In the 1990s, several ad hoc international...
