Pre-service secondary teachers’ knowledge of the function concept: A cluster analysis approach by José María Marbán, Edgar John Sintema

“…To further understand the results a one-way between-subjects multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and a follow-up discriminant function analysis (DFA) were also conducted. Common content knowledge was shown to be the most important factor in discriminating between prospective teachers in Cluster 1 and those in Cluster 2. …”

Validity and reliability of the persian version of the dyspnea-12 questionnaire in assessing dyspnea among COPD patients by Ehsan Alishapour, Mohammad Ali Nayeri, Razie Bahrami, Alireza Haghshenas, Samrad Mehrabi

“…Construct validity indices indicated a satisfactory model fit (CFI = 0.904, SRMR = 0.044), though RMSEA (0.188) suggested areas for improvement. Pulmonary function analysis revealed significant associations between FEV₁ and Dyspnea-12 scores (p = 0.042) and FVC (p = 0.017), linking dyspnea severity with lung function decline.…”
