The purpose of this study was to examine the initial psychometric properties of the Behavioral Assessment Screening Tool (BAST), a self-reported measure of neurobehavioral symptoms, in adults with stroke. We assessed subscale and item-level reliabilities of the five BAST subscales in 75 community-dwelling adults with stroke. We further assessed the...

The Brief Sense of Community Scale (BSCS) is a well-validated measure of psychological sense of community (PSOC), but it has yet to be tested with Spanish-speaking older adults. The current study uses data from face-to-face interviews with a non-probability sample of 154 community-dwelling older adults in Puerto Rico. We used confirmatory factor an...

Gender inequity, including low sexual relationship power (SRP), is an important determinant of intimate partner violence (IPV) and negative sexual, reproductive, and mental health. Different versions of the Sexual Relationship Power Scale (SRPS) are commonly used within youth studies to examine how gender inequities, including controlling behaviors...

Despite successful treatment, people living with HIV experience persisting and burdensome multidimensional problems. We aimed to assess the validity, reliability and responsiveness of Positive Outcomes, a patient-reported outcome measure for use in clinical practice. In all, 1392 outpatients in five European countries self-completed Positive Outcom...

Cyberbullying is a global and growing phenomenon, which affects the wellbeing of millions of adolescents around the world including Chinese adolescents. However, there is a lack of valid and reliable measures of cyberbullying behaviours in Chinese. To address this research gap, this study aims to adapt and validate a well-known, reliable and valida...

The increase in global natural disasters, emergencies, and terrorist attacks brings great challenges to the flexible operation of power grids. The research on the flexibility of power grids becomes more and more important. At the same time, the rapid development of renewable energy and smart grids also provides new opportunities for research of fle...

Published evidence has shown that troncoconical cuffs improve blood pressure measurement accuracy in subjects with obesity. However, the exact shape of these cuffs according to arm size is unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate the anthropometric characteristics of the arm in a large population in order to identify the appropriate...

Wafer warpage occurs during the fabrication process, which induces many issues such as wafer handling, lithography alignment, device reliability. The efficiency of dicing street on wafer warpage reduction is investigated by varying the width, depth, and pitch of dicing. With the finite element method simulation results, decreasing the dicing pitch ...

Detonation-based combustion cycles have the potential to have higher thermodynamic efficiencies than the more common deflagration-based combustion cycles because the pressure of the products is higher than that of the reactants. The geometry to which a detonation is confined can have a strong influence on the detonation’s behavior, or even prevent ...

The Index of Attitudes toward Homosexuals (IAH) was published by Hudson and Ricketts in 1980 as a unidimensional index to measure affective responses to homosexuals. Siebert et al. identified two factors in a sample of predominantly female social science students: Cognitive/Social Distance (α = .91) and Affective/Attraction-Advances (α = .79). The ...
