A Mark-Recapture Approach to Estimating Item Pool Compromise.

Testing organizations routinely investigate if secure exam material has been compromised and is consequently invalid for scoring and inclusion on future assessments. Beyond identifying individual compromised items, knowing the degree to which a form is compromised can inform decisions on whether the form can no longer be administered or when an item pool is compromised to such an extent that serious action on a broad scale must be taken to ensure the validity of score interpretations. Previous research on estimating the population of item compromise is sparse; however, this is a more generally long-studied problem in ecological research.

Basic science knowledge underlies clinical science knowledge and clinical problem solving: evidence from veterinary medicine.

Medical sciences education emphasizes basic science learning as a prerequisite to clinical learning. Studies exploring relationships between achievement in the basic sciences and subsequent achievement in the clinical sciences generally suggest a significant positive relationship. Basic science knowledge and clinical experience are theorized to combine to form encapsulated knowledge- a dynamic mix of information that is useful for solving clinical problems.

Crisis Pregnancy Centers: An Inherently Unjust Limitation to Reproductive Rights.

Abortion, though afforded certain legal protections, can be challenging to access in many areas of the United States, a problem exacerbated by the presence of Crisis Pregnancy Centers (CPCs). CPCs present themselves as clinics that provide a full spectrum of free pregnancy consultation services, but in fact are pro-life, anti-abortion organizations. From the outside, CPCs appear to be neutral health and welfare establishments, leading women *to believe they will receive unbiased guidance based on their best interests.
