vegetable acceptance was higher. Acceptance of each food was measured one week per month by the mothers at home from the beginning of complementary feeding until the child was one year, and was scored on a 4-point Likert scale. Intake was not measured. The other longitudinal study found that...
A symptom score sheet was designed based on the typical format of a 4-point Likert scale[16] with questions pertaining to four AECOPD symptoms in terms of TCM syndrome of phlegm-heat obstructing the lung (cough, phlegm, wheezing, chest congestion)[17]. Members of the research team administere...
After using both formulae, the users were asked to rate their overall level of satisfaction on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (“I am not at all satisfied with the search results”) to 7 (“I am fully satisfied with the search results”). For greater discriminative power, we ch...
Symptom severity per each item will be assessed by a 5-point Likert scale: none - 0, slight - 1, moderate - 2, severe - 3, and very severe - 4. The GIS scale is very easy for participants to understand and to complete. The GIS scale will be assessed at baseline, 2 weeks, 4 ...
bis(ethyl tallowate)-2-hydroxyethyl ammonium methyl sulfate), have a low melting point and are semi-solid at room temperature, and are much harder to formulate into a non-weeping product. As a result, common actives for liquid softeners are not suitable for use in formulating solid ...
” For all items, participants were asked to respond by using a 5-point Likert-type scale, and responses were dichotomized after checking the distribution of answers (Supplementary Table1). The responses “strongly agree” and “agree” to the first statement were categorized as agreement with ...
The starting point for this paper is the idea that, for the purposes of IPA, asking raters to rank attributes in order of importance (with no ties allowed) rather than assigning them absolute importance values offers the possibility of better measurement of importance. Clearly, this procedure avo...
Respondents evaluated their answers using a 7-point Likert scale, spanning from “strongly disagree” (1) to “strongly agree” (7). Subsequently, the survey collected demographic information from respondents, offering multiple response options for them to select. To ensure the precision of the ...

windows for brain development. As a consequence, any adverse stimuli during these critical periods could negatively influence later mental health. Prenatal and postnatal nutritional status play a crucial role on brain growth and maturation with subsequent effects on neurodevelopment later in life [3,4,...
