Comparative effects of Semantic vs Structural Elaboration on Iranian EFL Learners' Vocabulary Learning Process by Narges Rahmani, Ataollah Maleki

“…Due to this inconsistency, the findings proved to be in line with TAP theory, suggesting that Level of Processing (LOP) theory should be accompanied with TAP to end in facilitating results. Data analysis -mirroring the Type of Processing–Resource Allocation (TOPRA) effect- indicated that while the +semantic as compared to +semantic/structural facilitated performance on recall of words, had a negative effect in comparison with +structural. …”

Using genomic structural equation modeling to examine the genetic architecture of PTSD and life satisfaction phenotypes by Shannon E. Cusack, Anna W. Wright, Peter B. Barr, Emily Notari, Kaitlin E. Bountress, Ananda B. Amstadter

“…We sought to examine the genetic architecture of PTSD and six life satisfaction and well-being phenotypes (i.e. subjective well-being, friend satisfaction, life satisfaction, family satisfaction, work satisfaction, and financial satisfaction) using a multivariate approach.Method: We used Genomic Structural Equation Modeling (gSEM) to analyze summary-level genetic data from large-scale GWAS of the European Ancestry.Results: Findings show that a two, correlated factors model fit the data best, in which PTSD and life satisfaction phenotypes load on separate but correlated factors.Conclusions: Findings suggest that, using multivariate methods, a latent factor capturing many different positive phenotypes is genetically related to PTSD. …”
