The operationalized psychodynamic diagnostics system. Clinical relevance, reliability and validity [PDF]
In this paper, we present a multiaxial system for psychodynamic diagnosis, which has attained wide usage in Germany in the last 10 years. First we will discuss the 4 operationalized psychodynamic diagnostics (OPD) axes: illness experience and treatment ...

Assessing the environmental characteristics of cycling routes to school : a study on the reliability and validity of a Google Street View-based audit [PDF]
Background: Google Street View provides a valuable and efficient alternative to observe the physical environment compared to on-site fieldwork. However, studies on the use, reliability and validity of Google Street View in a cycling-to-school context are

Validity of the Adiabatic Approximation
We analyze the validity of the adiabatic approximation, and in particular the reliability of what has been called the "standard criterion" for validity of this approximation. Recently, this criterion has been found to be insufficient.

Coarse graining and first order phase transitions [PDF]
We discuss the dependence of the coarse grained free energy and the classical interface tension on the coarse graining scale $k$. A stable range appears only if the renormalized dimensionless couplings at the critical temperature are small.

Validating Criterion-Referenced Reading Tests [PDF]
Validation is an important step in the developmental process of any reading test. Yet traditional approaches to reliability and validity assessment are not relevant for criterion-referenced reading tests. A more relevant approach defines reliability in terms of the consistency of decision-making across repeated test administrations and validity in ...

Sufficiency Criterion for the Validity of the Adiabatic Approximation
We examine the quantitative condition which has been widely used as a criterion for the adiabatic approximation but was recently found insufficient. Our results indicate that the usual quantitative condition is sufficient for a special class of quantum ...

Biased diffusion in confined media: Test of the Fick-Jacobs approximation and validity criteria [PDF]
We study biased, diffusive transport of Brownian particles through narrow, spatially periodic structures in which the motion is constrained in lateral directions.

Children’s Resilience Markers: Criterion-based validity evidences
Although resilience is a relevant construct, there are no Brazilian instruments available to identify the resilient potential in children. Considering this, an instrument called Children’s Resilience Markers was developed. The study included 500 children
