representing the
size of the overall
effect of one variable on another variable.
The detail on the right is a simulation of the micro-gravitational lens
effect in the gamma ray region; direct observation of the orange ring — it also
represents images of the blazar — is not possible due to its small
size.

The dysfunctional nature of how urban schools teach students to relate to authority begins in kindergarten and continues through the primary grades.With young children, authoritarian, directive teaching that relies on simplistic external rewards still works to control students.But as children mature and grow in
size they become more aware that the school's coercive measures are not really hurtful (as compared to what they deal with outside of school) and the directive, behavior modification methods practiced in primary grades lose their power to control.Indeed, school authority becomes counterproductive.From upper elementary grades upward students know very well that it is beyond the power of school authorities to inflict any real hurt.External controls do not teach students to want to learn; they teach the reverse.The net
effect of this situation is that urban schools teach poverty students that relating to authority is a kind of game.And the deepest, most pervasive learnings that result from this game are that school authority is toothless and out of touch with their lives.What school authority
represents to urban youth is «what they think they need to do to keep their school running.»
The impacts are presented as
effect sizes (which
represent the differences between groups in standard deviation units) for eight measured outcomes across the domains of literacy, language, and math.
Statistical heterogeneity was assessed by using the Q statistic to evaluate whether the pooled studies

effect sizes.
A Hedge g
effect size estimate was used in the power analysis because it includes a correction for sample
size and is therefore more appropriate to use with small samples.26 The interpretation of g is similar to the interpretation of the Cohen d: 0.80 or greater is considered large, 0.50 to 0.79 is considered medium, and 0.20 to 0.49 is considered small.27 A minimum
effect size of g = 1.0 was expected based on prior uncontrolled studies of CBCT and the broader psychotherapy research for PTSD.28 An
effect size of g = 1.0
represents an approximately 25 - point improvement in total CAPS scores.
Results indicated that there was no significant difference between groups for therapeutic alliance score (t47 = — 1.02, P =.31, d = 0.29; according to Cohen [37], an
effect size of 0.2 to 0.3
represents a small
effect, around 0.5
represents a medium
effect, and 0.8 or greater
represents a large
effect).

effect was produced by between 20 and 25 % of the programs that had
effect sizes larger than.5 (which is considered to
