Objective: This study aims to develop and create a tool based on factor analysis to assess safety culture in the processing industry. Methods: This study was conducted in the petrochemical industry in 2021. The questionnaires were distributed among 312 employees, supervisors, and managers, and 308 of them were completed. The validity of the questionnaire was assessed by content and construct v...

Decisions are often based on the results of quantitative analysis. To gain confidence in these results, some indication of their quality is needed. Measurement uncertainty, as proposed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), is a way to express this quality. Most measurement techniques compare references and therefore need to be calibrated. Usually least squares methods ign...

The statistical relationship between motor vehicle crashes and covariates can generally be modeled via generalized linear models (GLMs) using logarithmic links with errors distributed in a Poisson or Poisson-gamma manner. The scaled deviance (SD) and Pearson’s X are tools that have been proposed to test statistical fit of GLMs. Recent studies have shown that these two estimators are not adequat...

conclusions the analysis of the reliability and validity of the persian version of the hse questionnaire showed that it is a useful and reliable measure to analyze work-related stress. background job stress has recently been regarded as a risk factor for some diseases. objectives in this study, we standardized the persian version of the hse management standards indicator tool and studied the ps...

PURPOSE To examine the fit between data from the Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ-2) and the Rasch model, and to explore the reliability and internal responsiveness of measures of pain in people with knee osteoarthritis. METHODS Participants with knee osteoarthritis completed the SF-MPQ-2, Intermittent and Constant Osteoarthritis Pain questionnaire (ICOAP) and painDETECT. Particip...

Borgström et al. proposed a notion of symbolic bisimilarity for the Extended Spi Calculus [12]. They developed a prototype tool, called SBC (Symbolic Bisimulation Checker) [10] implementing observational equivalence checking for arbitrary processes using shared-key cryptography. However, it is based on hard-coded equational theories. We have partially extended SBC towards checking processes usi...

This paper builds a bridge between research on regulatory focus in motivation and classification learning. It tests the hypothesis that a fit between the situational regulatory focus and the reward structure of the task leads to greater cognitive flexibility than a mismatch between situational focus and the reward structure and that the fit between the regulatory focusinduced processing charact...
