To examine the test-retest reliability of the different measures of exploration in the present study, we invited a random sample of participants to complete the same tasks and scales 1 month after their first participation. For each measure, we expected a positive correlation between exploration ...
The revised push-up test protocol is very similar to protocols presently used and as expected the men scored significantly (p < .01) better than the women on the revised push-up test. The correlation between revised push-up scores and number of bench press executions with a percentage of ...
The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) has shown good validity and reliability, but few studies have examined the GDS among very old adults or the Swedish translation. Evaluate the validity and reliability of the Swedish version of GDS-15 among very old ad
appropriate comparator tests (r = 0.32-0.74 p < 0.05), except the weight shift test and step-up tests which did not form significant relationship with Berg Balance Scale (r = 0.26 and 0.19 respectively).These functional balance tests are reliable and valid measures of balance disability post ...
Resilience is broadly defined as the ability to maintain or regain functioning in the face of adversity. Recent work to harmonise the quantification and definition of resilience quantifies resilience as the residual variance in psychosocial functioning t
Davies’ test for periodicity, which is based on the phase dispersion minimization method, is shown to be of limited application. In his derivation of the null distribution of the test statistic (i.e. the distribution under the null hypothesis of no periodicity), Davies assumes that the period...
aThe purification of BLS showed a very effective step at gel filtra-tion, where the antimicrobial activity eluted free of mostly pro-teins. The precipitation at low saturation of ammonium sulfateand elution at void volume of gel filtration indicate that the BLSwas secreted in the form of large...
We use five examples to show how one simple step in measureQ, of defining the measurement model, generates all the test results required for evaluating reliability, convergent and discriminant validity. Finally, our last objective is to motivate and enable standardized reporting of results and, ...
The use of self-report pain scales in persons with aphasia can be challenging due to communication and cognitive problems, while for assessing pain self-report pain is considered the gold standard (Harrison RA, Field TS. Post stroke pain: identification, assessment, and therapy. Cerebrovasc Dis....
. The latter information implicitly indicates the completion of the PM’s visit to USA, i.e., the former sentence is no longer valid; however, this would not be the case if the press release had been, for instance, in New York. Humans can do this kind of inference quite well given ...
