The feedback rating instrument: A new means of evaluating discussion

Thorell and Nyberg (2008 ) recently developed the Childhood Executive Functioning Inventory (CHEXI), a new rating instrument for executive functioning in day-to-day life which can be divided into four subscales: working memory, planning, inhibition, and regulation. Using an exploratory factor analysis on data from young Swedish children attending kindergarten, Thorell and Nyberg (2008 ) found a two-factor solution that taps working memory and inhibition. In the present study, we explored the psychometric characteristics of the French adaptation of the CHEXI. A group of 95 parents of 5- and 6-year-old children completed the CHEXI, 87 of whom were given clinical inhibition and working memory tasks. Confirmatory factor analyses confirmed the two-factor solution based on inhibition and working memory that was identified in the original study of Swedish children. Supplementary results indicated good internal and test-retest reliability for the entire scale, as well as for the two subscales identified. Correlation analyses showed no relationship between cognitive measures and the CHEXI subscales. Possible clinical applications for the CHEXI scales are discussed.

The Consumer Satisfaction Rating Scale (ConSat) is a self-rating instrument that was originally designed solely for use with clients receiving psychiatric care. Therefore, it was decided within the frame of the Swedish Quality Star National Psychiatric Register to develop a revised instrument (i.e., the ConSat–R). We investigated whether or not the ConSat–R could replace the ConSat for use for provision of both psychiatric care and social services. After pilot testing and further revisions, we tested the instrument at 2 time-points, with an interval of from 1 to 3 weeks. Participants were 53 clients (26 men, 27 women) in 11 different teams in middle and southwest Sweden. Results showed a high correlation between the ConSat and the ConSat–R and high or acceptable correlations even at the level of the items. The reliability was examined with regard to homogeneity, which showed high values for the ConSat–R. The conclusion was that the ConSat–R may be used with clients receiving both psychiatric care and social services.

Background: With the intention to quantify the importance of a medical journal, the Impact Factor (IF) was introduced. It has become a de facto fictive rating instrument of the importance of medical journals. Also, it is often used to assess the value of the individual publications within the specific journal. The aim of the present study was to analyze publication trends over 20 years in five high-ranked anesthesiology journals. Methods: The Medline (NCBI) database PubMed was used for analysis which was restricted to the following journals: 1. Anesthesiology; 2. British Journal of Anaesthesia; 3. Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology; 4. Anesthesia & Analgesia; and 5. Anaesthesia. Specific publication parameters (IFs, number of pages and authors, etc.) were retrieved using the PubMed download function and imported into Microsoft Excel for further analysis. Results: The mean IF of the five journals analyzed increased significantly within the study period (1991 vs. 2010; +61.81%). However, the absolute number of case reports decreased significantly by 54.7% since 1991. The journals Br J Anaesth (12.2%), J Neurosurg Anesthesiol (51.9%), and Anesth Analg (57.2%) showed significant increases in the number of publications per year. The mean number of authors increased significantly in all the journals from 1991 to 2010 (3.0 vs. 4.3; +43.3%). Conclusions: The IF, as well as the number of articles per year and the number of authors per article, increased significantly. In contrast, the number of pages per article remained comparable during the period analyzed.

This research was actually about the meaning of translation in Indonesian-English ads text, the booklet of PUD in Sukoharjo regency. Translating ads text is not simple because ads text has certain structure to be fulfilled. Then, to translate some cultural terms in ads text, it needs some considerations to keep the quality of the translation itself. One of the considerations is about the concept of readibility that consists of length of sentence average,� new words, and grammatical complexity. The research belonged to qualitative research and� the data were all the phrases and the sentences in the booklet of PUD Sukoharjo regency. The methods of data collecting were questionaire, in-depth interview, and content analysis with the instrumens of questions, interview guides, and data card. The data were then analyzed by using Miles and Huberman interactive model while the data validity was data triangulation. The result of the research showed that the readibility of Indonesian-English ads text was rather low for the score of the readibilty rating instrument was 2.2 from the total score of 3.Keywords: translation, ads text, readibility

We are concerned with the findings and implications of the article by Huessy and Cohen (Pediatrics 57:4, January 1976). The authors designated students in their study as "hyperkinetic" based on a questionnaire completed by teachers. It assessed the "social maturity, neuromuscular development, academic performance, and general attitude and behavior." They validate their use of this questionnaire by citing its high correlation (.77) with a research instrument used by Conners.1 Conners finds, however, that his rating instrument measures primarily aggressive, disturbing behavior and is only "somewhat correlated with another factor which measures hyperactivity."
