Abstract Objective: The Dimensional Anhedonia Rating Scale (DARS) is a novel questionnaire to assess anhedonia of recent validation. In this work we aim to study the equivalence between the traditional paper-and-pencil and the digital format of DARS. Methods: 69 patients filled the DARS in a paper-based and digital versions. We assessed differences between formats (Wilcoxon test), validity of the scales (Kappa and Intraclass Correlation Coefficients), and reliability (Cronbach’s alpha and Guttman’s coefficient). We calculated the Comparative Fit Index and the Root Mean Squared Error associated with the proposed one-factor structure. Results: Total scores were higher for paper-based format. Significant differences between both formats were found for three items. The weighted Kappa coefficient was approximately 0.40 for most of the items. Internal consistency was greater than 0.94, and the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient for the digital version was 0.95 and 0.94 for the paper-and-pencil version (F= 16.7, p < 0.001). Comparative Adjustment Index was 0.97 for the digital DARS and 0.97 for the paper-and-pencil DARS, and Root Mean Squared Error was 0.11 for the digital DARS and 0.10 for the paper-and-pencil DARS. Conclusion: The digital DARS is consistent in many respects to the paper-and-pencil questionnaire, but equivalence with this format cannot be assumed without caution.

This chapter focuses on the validity of tests of second language (L2) signed language learners. Test validity depends on how test developers take the language as well as the modality into consideration and how the test captures natural variation in local signed languages, which impacts the use of tests and interpretation of results. In this chapter, the argument-based approach to validation is used to evaluate claims that test developers make about the uses of tests. A sample of signed language tests for L2 learners is reviewed and discussed. Caution in the extrapolation and making decisions based on test results are discussed. The chapter ends with suggestions about how to evaluate the validity of future L2 signed language tests.

C Excavation mining activity in Banyakan District, Kediri Regency has been going on for a long time. It is needed to support the creation of good infrastructure and become one of the foundations for development progress, but in its implementation it must pay attention to the preservation of the natural environment. This study uses descriptive analysis method with a quantitative approach, and uses survey and interview methods for data collection. Afterward, the survey data were analyzed by non-parametric test using the free K-sample test, validity and reliability tests, and quantitative analysis using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. Thereafter, with expert recommendations, a strategy for managing the impact was developed. The results of the discussion found that environmental damage due to C excavation activities that often occur and has a major impact in Tiron Village, Banyakan District, includes damage to road infrastructure, air pollution due to material transport vehicle traffic, and loss of rural feel. Therefore, all parties must work together to overcome this, several responses that can be taken to deal with these impacts include all parties having to allocate special funds for road infrastructure improvements, policies from the government that are in favor of the community and the environment, and reclamation of mining former lands to restore a rural feel and good air quality standards

Abstract Rate testing has evolved over the years. From a simple composite separator system, the scope of rate testing has morphed into a broad spectrum of sophisticated downhole and surface technologies. Knowing well behavior, performance, and associated rate are the key factors of operating an entire field with the most reliable operating strategy, assuring maximum well-life time. In regard to well modeling and optimization, valid rate test data are crucial to predict well performance efficiently. An in-house rate testing mechanism was developed to ensure proper delivery, accuracy, and validity of rate tests. The mechanism comprises a rate testing procedure and decision-making tree. The rate testing procedure includes regular checks of rate testing data reports. Also, the immediate resolution of rate testing equipment or communication issues is implemented through the utilization of an MPFM Advanced Monitoring System with automated logics. A decision-making tree constitutes pre- and post-testing process phases. The pre-testing process phase involves an assessment for rate testing readiness in terms of testing equipment and communication. The post-testing process phase includes an assessment for testing operation and rate test validity where rate test data are checked and validated based on production operational status. The enhanced testing mechanism is a user-friendly guideline for testing requirements to ensure the completion of tests captured from testing equipment. The proper implementation of this rate testing mechanism enabled a high quality and accuracy of rate test data, resulting in an increase in rate testing validity by 30%. Also, the rate testing mechanism inspired a culture of continuous effective communication for all involved parties during the testing operation. The decision-making tree transforms the validation process from subjective thinking to a systematic workflow while integrating data from nearby wells with similar behavior. A high ownership level is exhibited by taking the immediate resolution of issues results in achieving high rate testing validity percentage. Running the process through standardized operating procedures is critical in generating consistent and predictable results of well performance. Additionally, accurate optimization and prediction of well performance have been realized by feeding the well model's data before and after attaining valid rate test data, which attests to the quality of the proposed rate testing mechanism. Considering the importance of having a strategic rate testing mechanism, it is highly advised to have more frequent measurements to raise the accuracy of the measurements presented. An ideal strategic rate testing mechanism has to be economical enough to be placed in many production wells, allow the tests to be performed in an organized manner, improve measurement accuracy, and, more importantly, achieve automated and supervised well tests processes.
