title: Checks im BR NWCH 2013 - 2020

description: The cantons of Aargau, Basel-Stadt, Basel-Landschaft and Solothurn (BR NWCH) have commissioned the Institute for Educational Evaluation, Associated Institute at the University of Zurich, to develop and implement joint school performance tests in the 3rd and 5th grades of primary school level (Check P3 and Check P5) and in the 2nd and 3rd grades of lower secondary school level (Check S2 and Check S3). The so-called Checks examine students’ subject performance in German, English, French, mathematics as well as sciences. The Checks are carried out as an external standardised assessment of students’ current learning level with the aim of providing them with an independent, cross-class assessment of their competences. The results are reported in relation to the curriculum Lehrplan 21 (criteria-based norm) and in comparison with all students in the canton or the Bildungsraum Nordwestschweiz (social norm) at individual, class and school level. In addition, students can track their learning progress (individual reference norm) between the 2nd and 3rd grades of lower secondary level I on the basis of the Check S2 and the Check S3.

Klasse der Primarstufe (Check P3 und Check P5) sowie in der 2. und 3. Klasse der Sekundarstufe I (Check S2 und Check S3) zu entwickeln und durchzuführen. Die sogenannten Checks überprüfen die fachlichen Leistungen der Schülerinnen und Schüler in den Fächern Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch, Mathematik sowie Natur und Technik. Die Checks werden als externe standardisierte Überprüfung des aktuellen Lernstandes der Schülerinnen und Schüler durchgeführt mit dem Ziel, ihnen eine unabhängige, klassenübergreifende Einschätzung ihrer Kompetenzen zu ermöglichen. Die Ergebnisse werden in Bezug auf den Lehrplan 21 (kriterienbasierte Norm) und im Vergleich mit allen Schülerinnen und Schülern des Kantons bzw. des Bildungsraums Nordwestschweiz (soziale Norm) auf Individual-, Klassen- und Schulebene ausgewiesen. Zusätzlich können die Schülerinnen und Schüler ihren Lernfortschritt (individuelle Bezugsnorm) zwischen der 2. und 3. Klasse der Sekundarstufe I anhand des Check S2 und des Check S3 verfolgen.

title: Replication data for: Jobs and Matches: Quits, Replacement Hiring, and Vacancy Chains

description: In the canonical DMP model of job openings, all job openings stem from new job creation. Jobs denote worker-firm matches, which are destroyed following worker quits. Yet, employers classify 56 percent of vacancies as quit-driven replacement hiring into old jobs, which evidently outlived their previous matches. Accordingly, aggregate and firm-level hiring tightly track quits. We augment the DMP model with longer-lived jobs arising from sunk job creation costs and replacement hiring. Quits trigger vacancies, which beget vacancies through replacement hiring. This vacancy chain can raise total job openings and net employment. The procyclicality of quits can thereby amplify business cycles.

title: Replication Data for: Imaging radiation-induced gastrointestinal, bone marrow injury and recovery kinetics using 18F-FDG PET

description: Positron emission tomography using 18F-Fluro-deoxy-glucose (18F-FDG) is a useful tool to detect regions of inflammation in patients. We utilized this imaging technique to investigate the kinetics of gastrointestinal recovery after radiation exposure and the role of bone marrow in the recovery process. 
Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were either sham irradiated, irradiated with their upper half body shielded (UHBS) at a dose of 7.5 Gy, or whole body irradiated (WBI) with 4 or 7.5 Gy. Animals were imaged using 18F-FDG PET/CT at 5, 10 and 35 days post-radiation exposure. The gastrointestinal tract and bone marrow were analyzed for 18F-FDG uptake. Tissue was collected at all-time points for histological analysis.
Results: Following 7.5 Gy irradiation, there was a significant increase in inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract as indicated by the significantly higher 18F-FDG uptake compared to sham. UHBS animals had a significantly higher activity compared to 7.5 Gy WBI at 5 days post-exposure. Animals that received 4 Gy WBI did not show any significant increase in uptake compared to sham. Analysis of the bone marrow showed a significant decrease of uptake in the 7.5 Gy animals 5 days post-irradiation, albeit not observed in the 4 Gy group. Interestingly, as the metabolic activity of the gastrointestinal tract returned to sham levels in UHBS animals it was accompanied by an increase in metabolic activity in the bone marrow. At 35 days post-exposure both gastrointestinal tract and bone marrow 18F-FDG uptake returned to sham levels. 
Conclusion: 18F-FDG imaging is a tool that can be used to study the inflammatory response of the gastrointestinal tract and changes in bone marrow metabolism caused by radiation exposure. The recovery of the gastrointestinal tract coincides with an increase in bone marrow metabolism in partially shielded animals. These findings further demonstrate the relationship between the gastrointestinal syndrome and bone marrow recovery, and that this interaction can be studied using non-invasive imaging modalities.

title: Replication Data for: "Making Issues Matter: Local Media and Policy-Based Evaluations of Politicians"

description: Does the media enhance issue accountability? Many argue it does by covering where politicians stand on policy. However, evidence of this process is limited and fails to address two alternatives. First, when informed about an issue by the media, people may change their own issue stance so it aligns with a politician they already support. Second, the public may ignore the news when it conflicts with party loyalty. We distinguish these alternatives using survey experiments and observational studies of local media and the public's use of issues to evaluate their members of Congress from 2006 to 2022. Across these settings local news increases the public's reliance on policy to evaluate politicians, affirming the media's contribution to issue accountability despite heightened polarization. These studies also highlight a mechanism behind this, showing news primarily changes views of legislators by reducing widespread uncertainty about their policy positions.
