White Pupil Fibre-Fed Echelle Spectrograph Of The Russian-Turkish 1.5 M Telescope: Optical Design And Analysis, Cevdet Bayar, Nuri̇ Unal

Turkish Journal of Physics

This study presents optical designs of two fibre-fed èchelle spectrographs (FES), which differ from each other in terms of cross-dispersers, and optical analyses of the spectra (orders) obtained from the designs. Optical analyses of both designs were performed by interpreting the results obtained from the spot diagram, footprint diagram, and encircled energy diagram in the ZEMAX (OpticStudio) optical design program. In the first spectrograph design, prisms were used as the cross-disperser. Specifically, two symmetric N-F2 glass prisms with 42-degree apex angles were used as the cross-disperser. In the second design, a grism was used as the cross-disperser. This grism was …

Correlation Of American Board Of Surgery In-Training Exam Metrics In A Post-Percentile Reporting Era, Tyler Arscott, Christopher Pfeifer

2025 Henry Ford Jackson Hospital Research Symposium

Background: The American Board of Surgery In-Training Exam (ABSITE) is an annual exam for all surgical residents that functions as a formative assessment to guide learning. Historically, it has been used as summative tool to guide program directors to identify struggling learners at risk of failing the American Board of Surgery (ABS Qualifying Examination. Failure of the Qualifying Exam has been associated with ABSITE scores below the 30th percentile. Starting in 2025, the ABSITE score reports will eliminate percentile rankings by program year, providing only percent correct and a scaled standard score. This study aims to develop and validate predictive …

Snapshots Issue 20: Effort In Pisa: Insights From Recent Data, Lisa De Bortoli

Snapshots

This issue of Snapshots explores how student effort may vary depending on the perceived stakes of the assessment. We revisit the self-reported levels of effort that students invested in the PISA test and compare them with the effort they indicated they would have made if the results counted towards their school marks. Australia’s results are compared with 21 of the 81 comparison countries and economies that participated in PISA 2022,1 providing a context for understanding Australia’s position in the global education landscape. We then examine effort in PISA among different demographic groups within Australia, which can influence how students approach …

Speaking Faith: Communication, Identity, And Community In A Campus Ministry, Remiah Leppert, Aiden Vanderstouwe

2025 Undergraduate Research Showcase

This ethnographic study examines the role of communication in shaping identity and fostering a sense of belonging within InterVarsity, a Christian campus ministry. By employing participant observations, field notes, and interviews, the research evaluates how faith-oriented discussions influence group dynamics, leadership structures, and the integration of new members. While linguistic studies typically focus on the structural and functional dimensions of language, they often overlook the profound personal and communal experiences that inform discourse in faith-based communities. Moreover, there is a notable scarcity of ethnographic research on religious communities, which creates gaps in our understanding of how religious language cultivates connection …
