In Brazil, the number of validated and recognized scientific instruments for clinical evaluation of elderly persons is limited. The Older Adult Self-Report (OASR) is a psychopathological rating scale for persons with mor...

Abstract The forming limit diagram plays an important role in predicting the forming limit of sheet metals. Previous studies have shown that, the method to construct the forming limit diagram based on instability theory ...

The article analyzes the criterion and level aspect of the experimental research into the effectiveness of the methodical system of teaching Ukrainian Language for Professional Purposes. The tasks have been performed in ...

This work describes a procedure for localizing orbitals based on the topological analysis of the electron localization function at correlated level. The decomposition of the overlap matrix according to the partitioning o...

In this article, we address the design of hydrogen supply chains for vehicle use with economic and environmental concerns. Given a set of available technologies to produce, store, and deliver hydrogen, the problem consis...

We consider maximal operators MBMB with respect to a basis BB. In the case when MBMB satisfies a reversed weak type inequality, we obtain a boundedness criterion for MBMB on an arbitrary quasi-Banach function space XX. B...

Abstract Objective To assess the construct and criterion validity of the Postmenopause Sexuality Questionnaire (PMSQ). Methods The present methodological questionnaire validation study included postmenopausal women. ...

ABSTRACT Across the seed-seedling transition, several germination criteria are used in studies of palm-seed germination. In Oenocarpus bataua, these criteria have differential tolerance to thermal stress. In this study, ...

O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar as qualidades psicométricas da Escala Baptista de Depressão (Versão Adulto) - EBADEP-A, com base na Teoria da Resposta ao Item - TRI e na Teoria Clássica dos Testes - TCT...

In capillary electrophoresis (CE), resolution (Rs) and selectivity (α) are criteria often used in practice to optimize separations. Nevertheless, when these and other proposed parameters are considered as an elementary ...

Abstract Severe rail roughness leads to a series of problems in metro systems, particularly the vehicle noise problem. To ensure a better acoustic environment, rail roughness control is therefore one of the main concerns...

Abstract Background Respiratory infections are the main indication for antimicrobial use in calves. Optimal treatment duration currently is unknown, but shorter duration would likely decrease selection for antimicrobial ...

In terms of researches on contemporary demographic changes, there are many methodological dilemmas. One of them is the old age criterion, adopted in different disciplines, as well as fields of a study. The subject of the...

Abstract Operationalizing the concept of mindfulness has been a challenge for researches. In this article, we present and discuss the procedures for the assessment of the internal structure and validity of the criteria f...

Discriminant validity assessment has become a generally accepted prerequisite for analyzing relationships between latent variables. For variance-based structural equation modeling, such as partial least squares, the Forn...

An analytic criterion for rotation is defined. The scientific advantage of analytic criteria over subjective (graphical) rotational procedures is discussed. Carroll's criterion and the quartimax criterion are briefly rev...

Throughout comparative administrative law there is a concept that is not unequivocally labelled: public power, administrative power or public function. Nor is its semantic load the same in each legal system. This is why ...

Work-related extended availability (WREA) describes a state of being available for work matters while physically being in a different life domain. There is ample evidence for the negative effects of WREA, but moderator e...

The study extends personality and situational judgment test (SJT) research by using an SJT to measure achievement striving in a contextualized manner. Employed students responded to the achievement striving SJT, traditio...

The objective of this study is to perform a review and contextualize the existing definitions of educational quality from the managerial point of view. We will be presenting also the factors that have been considered to ...

Positive and negative-worded items affect respondents answering style in attitude surveys and have psychometric implications. This research was conducted to assess the wording effect on the validation of the Spanish adap...

Objetivou-se estudar duas alternativas de análises de variâncias e covariâncias para dados de pesagens de bovinos. Foram utilizados dados de animais Nelore, Guzerá, Gir e Indubrasil, machos e fêmeas, pertencentes à...

Abstract In order to solve the springback problem in sheet metal forming, the trial and error method is a widely used method in the factory, which is time-consuming and costly for its non-direction and non-quantitative. ...

In this article, dedicated to the memory of Lesser Blum, we develop a theory for the physical clusters which were introduced some time ago in our group (J. Chem Phys. 116, 1097–1108, 2002). The physical cluster definit...
