BACKGROUND Adult weight is positively associated with postmenopausal breast cancer but few studies have investigated whether there are associations with weight and body mass index (BMI) in early adulthood, or subsequent weight change. METHODS A total of 14,441 postmenopausal women from the Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study (MCCS) were followed for 16.5 years (mean) and 668 incident breast ...

The study aimed to analyze the relationship between scientific literacy and critical thinking in primary school teacher education undergraduate students. subjects were 127 students majoring Faculty of Teacher Training Education at a private university Madiun, Indonesia. type research used is correlational with instrument multiple-choice tests. Data analysis was performed using Pearson correlati...

We study the expansion of stable structures by adding predicates for arbitrary subsets. Generalizing work of Poizat-Bouscaren on the one hand and Baldwin-BenediktCasanovas-Ziegler on the other we provide a sufficient condition (Theorem 4.7) for such an expansion to be stable. This generalization weakens the original definitions in two ways: dealing with arbitrary subsets rather than just submod...

This paper presents a computer program that calculates two effect size estimates (gamma and trimmed-d) that are robust to violations of the assumptions of population normality and homogeneity of variance. Because of their robustness properties, these indices are frequently more appropriate than the conventional parametric indices such as Cohen’s d or Hedges’ g. Additionally, a program that uses...

We introduce the concept of orbit-homogeneity of permutation groups: a group G is orbit thomogeneous if two sets of cardinality t lie in the same orbit of G whenever their intersections with each G-orbit have the same cardinality. For transitive groups, this coincides with the usual notion of t-homogeneity. This concept is also compatible with the idea of partition transitivity introduced by Ma...
