IntroductionDisease-related knowledge is a key component of shared decision making and a relevant outcome to measure the effectiveness of information provision interventions. However, no systematic psychometric reviews have been found that assess the measurement instruments aimed at evaluating the disease-related knowledge of people affected by multiple sclerosis. This review aims to systematically assess the quality of the measurement properties of all available disease-related knowledge measurement instruments of people affected by multiple sclerosis.Methods and analysisA systematic psychometric review will be carried out in accordance with the guidelines proposed by the international ‘COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN)’ initiative. Studies that meet the following criteria will be selected: (1) those whose aim is to measure disease-related knowledge, (2) those whose study populations are affected by multiple sclerosis and (3) those whose aims are to develop measurement instruments or evaluate one or more of their measurement properties. The information sources will be MEDLINE (via PubMed), CINAHL, PsycINFO and OpenGrey. The methodological quality will be assessed using the ‘COSMIN Risk of Bias’ checklist. Available evidence will be synthesised and graded using a modified Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach.Ethics and disseminationAs this is a systematic review, no ethics approval is needed. Study findings will be shared with multiple sclerosis patient support groups and in reports to funders. The results will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal and will be presented at national and international conferences.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42019125417.

This study aims to analyze the effect of pre-school age children's health education on stunting in the Setia Bakti Kediri Kindergarten. The design of this study used a pre-experimental pre-post test. Subjects were parents who had pre-school children with 49 respondents in the Setia Bakti Kediri Kindergarten. Retrieval of data from 29 - 31 May 2019. Randomization technique with purposive sampling. The variable of this study is parental knowledge. Measurement of knowledge with a questionnaire. Health education is carried out for 60 minutes using lecture methods, audio media, visual aids, and booklets. Research analysis technique with the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test statistic test. The results of this study indicate that there is an influence of health education about stunting on the knowledge of parents of pre-school children in Setia Bakti Kediri Kindergarten. Health education about stunting increases parental knowledge

Sexual Sensation Seeking

Background: STIs, principally HIV/AIDS, are public health problems that are transmitted by sexual risk behaviours, which have been associated with the sexual sensation seeking (an specific personality factor). In South American context, there are no measurement instruments with psychometric evidence for their use and, in other contexts, only the Sexual sensation seeking scale (Kalichman et al., 1994) is available, which is outdated in content and validity evidence. The purpose of this work is development a scale, in accordance with contemporary psychometric standards, to assess sexual sensation seeking for South Americans young people and adults. Method: instrumental study, with time-space sampling (n=813) of undergraduate students from the two Chilean cities with the highest rates of HIV. Results: Final scale have 8 items to assess two dimensions: 1) sexual emotions seeking; and 2) tendency to sexual boredom. The identified structure provides adequate levels of reliability (ω> .8; α> .7), presents validity evidence, based on the internal structure of the test, using CFA and ESEM (CFI> .95, TLI> .95, RMSEA <. 06), and based on the convergence with other measures (sexual activity with multiple partners, inadequate or insufficient use of protective barriers and sexual activity under the influence of alcohol or drugs). Conclusions: The Multidimensional Scale of Sexual Sensation Seeking evidence adequate psychometric properties to evaluate the search for sexual sensations in equivalents samples.

Abstract With the ever-increasing density and performance of integrated circuits, non-invasive, accurate, and high spatial and temporal resolution electric signal measurement instruments hold the key to performing successful diagnostics and failure analysis. Sampled electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) has the potential for such applications. It provides a noninvasive approach to measuring high frequency internal integrated circuit signals. Previous EFMs operate using a repetitive single-pulse sampling approach and are inherently subject to the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) problems when test pattern duty cycle times become large. In this paper we present an innovative technique that uses groups of pulses to improve the SNR of sampled EFM systems. The approach can easily provide more than an order-ofmagnitude improvement to the SNR. The details of the approach are presented.
