Multiple Levels of Letter Representation in Written Spelling: Evidence From a Single Case of Dysgraphia with Multiple Deficits by Marie-Pierre de Partz, Aliette Lochy, Agnesa Pillon

“…We argue that these contrasting patterns of letter error distribution result from damage to two distinct levels of letter representation and processing within the spelling system, namely, the amodal graphemic representation held in the graphemic buffer and the letter form representation computed by subsequent writing-specific processes. …”

Implications for cost and access of site-of-service referrals for ancillary medical services in a US Medicaid population: analysis of claims data from Maryland, USA by Maqbool Dada, Simrita Singh, Kelsey J Rydland, Chester Chambers, Vishal Mundlye, Edward Kumian, Kayode Ayodele Williams

“…We also quantified the implications of this shift on access to services, with a focus on differences in access between rural and urban patients for a Medicaid (disadvantaged) population in Maryland, USA.Design Using a dataset of all Medicaid claims records for 1 year, we identified and extracted all bundles of regulated and unregulated ancillary services. Geospatial computing was used to approximate transportation costs required to access services. …”

Continuous professional development and instructors’ beliefs about and practice of active learning method in Bahir Dar university by Mulugeta Teka Kahsay

“…The study first employed one sample t-tests which showed that, though these instructors held significantly stronger beliefs about active learning methods than the expected level, they reportedly implemented active learning methods slightly less frequently than the expected level. Then, after computing means and standard deviations for each of the two groups of respondents (31 HDP participants and 27 non-participants), multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was applied to compare the difference between HDP participants and non-participants in their beliefs and practice of active learning methods (when both dependent variables considered together). …”
