Moreover, we rethink the terms 'concept, 'construct', and 'variable' and introduce six clarity criteria to be used in the process of concept refinement in management and organization studies, and other disciplines of social and behavioural sciences....
This effect can lower construct validity by clouding the effect of the actual research variable. To reduce this effect, interaction should be kept to a minimum, and assistants should be unaware of the overall aims of the project.

3 Self‑concept and mathematics achievement We can define academic self-concept as a "mental representations of one's abilities in academic domains and school subjects" (Brunner et al., 2010, p. 964). Self-concept is an extremely important construct, affecting psychologi- cal and ...
A Tether-Based Variable-Gravity Research Facility Concept Kirk Sorensen NASA Marshall Space Flight Center The recent announcement of a return to the Moon and a mission to Mars has made the question of human response to lower levels of gravity more important. Recent advances in tether technology ...
These objects and contributor instructions are used to construct a layout-contributor digraph. Diverging path exploration Revery searches for exploitable states in diverging paths, to solve the exploit derivability issue. Rather than using symbolic execution, it employs fuzzing. First, it employs a ...
Drug development based on target proteins has been a successful approach in recent decades. However, the conventional structure-based drug design (SBDD) pipeline is a complex, human-engineered process with multiple independently optimized steps. Here, we
Overall, this framework does not provide a broad enough construct for a wider scope of evaluation. Boland et al. [97] developed a two-stage evaluation framework in order to address the gap in specifications relating to user needs. To overcome this, they proposed a combination of quantitative ...
Prefrontal cortex (PFC) is thought to support the ability to focus on goal-relevant information by filtering out irrelevant information, a process akin to dimensionality reduction. Here, we test this dimensionality reduction hypothesis by relating a data
A mental construct that helps in organizing knowledge. The concept of ecosystems is fundamental in ecology. 10 Term May evolve or be coined to describe new concepts. The term cyberspace was coined to describe interconnected digital technology. 8 Concept Underlies theories, principles, and beliefs. ...
