Psychometric properties of the German version of Observer OPTION5.
Published in BMC health services research
The results regarding inter- and intra-rater reliability were excellent on the total score level. Observer OPTION5 showed moderate concurrent validity using Observer OPTON12. The results are generally comparable to the results of the original English version of Observer OPTION5. The German version of Observer OPTION5 can be used in research and eva...
Performance Specifications of Market Physiological Sensors for Efficient Driver Drowsiness Detection System
Significant advances in bio-sensors technologies hold promise to monitor human physiological signals in real time. In the context of driving safety, such devices are knowing notable research investigations to objectively detect early stages of driver drowsiness that impair driving performance under various conditions. Seeking for low-cost, compact ...
Development and reliability of a streetscape observation instrument for international use : MAPS-global
...
Background: Relationships between several built environment factors and physical activity and walking behavior are well established, but internationally-comparable built environment measures are lacking. The Microscale Audit of Pedestrian Streetscapes (MAPS)-Global is an observational measure of detailed streetscape features relevant to physical ac...
How competent do teachers feel instructing self-regulated learning strategies? Development and validation of the teacher...
This study describes the development of a self-report instrument: the Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale to implement Self-Regulated Learning (TSES-SRL). The TSES-SRL assesses teachers' perceived ability of implementing SRL as a specific instructional domain. The process of the item and scale development is presented. Exploratory factor analysis suggests ...
Normas y Creencias de la Permanencia Relacional: Diseño y Validación de una Medida
Con base en los postulados por Díaz Guerrero (2003) acerca de las creencias, normas y valores que gobiernan los sentimientos, pensamientos y conductas involucrados en el desarollo, mantenimiento y disolución de las relaciones de pareja (Díaz Loving, & Sánchez Aragón, 1998), el propósito de este estudio fue evaluar las premisas histórico socio- cult...
Systematic comparative validation of self-report measures of sedentary time against an objective measure of postural sit...
...
Background: Sedentary behaviour is a public health concern that requires surveillance and epidemiological research. For such large scale studies, self-report tools are a pragmatic measurement solution. A large number of self-report tools are currently in use, but few have been validated against an objective measure of sedentary time and there is no...
A Standard for Map Data Representation : IEEE 1873-2015 Facilitates Interoperability Between Robots
...
The availability of environment maps for autonomous robots enables them to complete several tasks. A new IEEE standard, IEEE 1873-2015, Robot Map Data Representation for Navigation (MDR) [15], sponsored by the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) and approved by the IEEE Standards Association Standards Board in September 2015, defines a commo...
Slice Distance : An Insert-Only Levenshtein Distance with a Focus on Security Applications
Levenshtein distance is well known for its use in comparing two strings for similarity. However, the set of considered edit operations used when comparing can be reduced in a number of situations. In such cases, the application of the generic Levenshtein distance can result in degraded detection and computational performance. Other metrics in the l...
