BackgroundBladder health is an understudied state and difficult to measure due to lack of valid and reliable instruments. While condition specific questionnaires assess presence, severity and degree of bother from lower urinary tract symptoms, the absence of symptoms is insufficient to assume bladder health. This study describes the methodology use...
目的： 探讨简明生活质量量表（SF-36量表）在职业病患者生存质量调查中的应用。 方法： 于2019年5月，采用SF-36量表对杭州市诊断报告的职业病患者进行问卷调查，通过Cronbach’s α系数评价量表的信度，通过探索性因子分析评价量表的效度。 结果： SF-36量表生理功能（PF）、生理职能（RP）、躯体疼痛（BP）、一般健康状况（GH）、精力（VT）、社会功能（SF）、情感职能（RE）和精神健康（MH）Cronbach’s α系数分别为0.937、0.977、0.870、0.908、0.815、0.701、0.967和0.863，折半信度系数α=0.905；代表生理和心理方面的两因子统计量为0.870，近似卡方值为1 784.337（P

Currently, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) do not contribute to the realization of origin and scale of combined global terrestrial reference frame (TRF) solutions due to present system design limitations. The future Galileo-like medium Earth orbit (MEO) constellation, called “Kepler”, proposed by the German Aerospace Center DLR, is chara...

Social exclusion is one of the most complex and sensitive social problems nowadays. Of all social groups, adolescents are among the most vulnerable to social exclusion, which can interfere with their social development. Consequently, the evaluation of this construct in adolescents is an important matter. The aim of this investigation was to develop...

As interest grows in near-death experiences (NDEs), it is increasingly important to accurately identify them to facilitate empirical research and reproducibility among assessors. We aimed (1) to reassess the psychometric properties of the NDE scale developed by Greyson (1983) and (2) to validate the Near-Death Experience Content (NDE-C) scale that ...
The purpose of this contribution is to provide an overview of developments in nonconvex production technologies and economic value functions, with special attention to the cost function. Apart from a somewhat selective review of theoretical issues, the emphasis is on whether the assumption of convexity makes a difference in practice. Anticipating o...

Melatonin has been implicated in the regulation of bone metabolism; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying its involvement in fracture healing are still obscure. We previously developed an in vivo fracture healing model using the scale of a double-transgenic zebrafish, trap:GFP; osterix:mCherry, which labels osteoclasts and osteoblasts with G...
