The main objective of this study is to evaluate the utility of a new qualitative scale development methodology—Three-Step Test-Interview (TSTI)—in its first application in the validation of a psychotherapy scale: The Relational Depth Frequency Scale (RDFS). The TSTI is a cognitive pretesting method designed to uncover potential problems in scale construction. The RDFS is a six-item unidimensional scale of in-depth therapeutic relating, designed for use in large-scale outcome studies. Following the creation of an item pool and “expert ratings,” a purposive sample of four therapists and four clients (five females, three males, mean age: 49 years) was recruited to take part in the TSTI with the view to refine the original 36-item RDFS prior to psychometric exploration. Structured observations pointed to problems in test-takers’ patterns of responses in relation to theoretical knowledge of the relational depth construct. Issues uncovered and addressed included some misinterpretations of instructions and items, redundant content, double-barreled items, and test-takers’ reactions to intimate content wording. The method supported the refinement of the RDFS including amendment to its instructions and the removal of problematic items. TSTI results produced knowledge on the scale which could not be captured with statistical methods.

Project Construction

The field monitoring of dangerous landslide is an important measure for guaranteeing its safety, especially when surrounded by large-scale construction. The landslide located nearby a reservoir in Shandong province. To guarantee construction safety, we adopted the automatic monitoring method for monitoring surface displacement and the internal soil pressure. The whole system uses solar power to provide energy and uses GPRS to transfer data. This system not only can provide reliable information for project construction, but also promote the application of environmentally friendly, low carbon in the monitoring field of civil engineering.

The tourism sector is one of the assets owned by each region in Indonesia. In Yogyakarta, there are agricultural or agro tourist established by PT. Bona Mitra Multifarm, Agrotourism is located at Jl. Jengger lempongsari Sleman Yogyakarta is used as an alternative tourism because no large-scale construction and do not damage the environment. Agrotourism is already running two years and has an area of 2 hectares with the main plant is dragon fruit, here there are three types of dragon fruit is r ed, yellow and white. Dragon fruit is chosen because it has economic value which is quite high when compared with other fruit, other than that the Dragon Fruit has enough health giving properties such as balancing blood sugar levels, purify the blood. Strategies in the management of agrotourism as a new alternative object in Sleman, such as maximizing the knowl e dge of management and communicating between all management and society. The need for the provision af the allocation of funds for the provision of facilities, provide conseling to peoples who don’t understand about agrotourism, seek operating funds from the central office for security improvements such as fencing garden. In supporting the advancement of society agrotourism around also has an important role as well as maintain the security and comfort of tourists that visit here, friendly, open food stalls, juice, puls counter, and angkringan outside agrotourism area. Except that, around of agrotourism any accommodating facility build by others industries, so that it should be aacility for tourist accommodation that visit to this agrotourism.

The general purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of ISO 9001 certification on project success, and its main criteria into large-scale construction companies in Metro Manila, Philippines. For this aim, the research was conducted an in-depth literature review for identifying the main variables first. Subsequently, a survey questionnaire was designed, and distributed randomly among 67 managers working in ISO 9001:2008- certified projects of large-scale construction firms. Then the descriptive and inferential statistics analysis employed, in order to find the results and conclusions. Finally, the findings revealed that ISO 9001 certification can significatly affect the construction project success and its main criteria, except time lenght of projects in Metro Manila, Philippines.
