Background and aims The aim for this study was to assess the construct validity and reliability of the Health Dialogue Questionnaire (HDQ©) for eleventh grade in school through comparison of the HDQ© with Paediatric Quality Of Life Inventory (PedsQL™), Local monitoring of youth policy questionnaire (LUPP®), Health behaviour in Swedish school-aged children (HBSC©), Equal health (EH©) and The Swe...

We experimentally explore the effects and interactions of three variables considered important when bargaining over a jointly produced surplus: performance information, production uncertainties when translating performance into output, and subjective entitlements derived from the production process. We find that without performance information subjective entitlements are mostly mutually consist...

Purpose: We propose in this paper to analyze what are the factors that influence knowledge transfer both intra and intergenerational in family firms. The main objective is to establish a framework that can be used later in empirical research, although we maintain a completely theoretical approach in this paper Design/methodology/approach: This study, which is a comprehensive framework character...

A functional approach for the study of the random walks in random sceneries (RWRS) is proposed. Under fairly general assumptions on the random walk and on the random scenery, functional limit theorems are proved. The method allows to study separately the convergence of the walk and of the scenery: on the one hand, a general criterion for the convergence of the local time of the walk is provided...

This study aims at determining the personality traits and investment patterns in the stock market and presenting the pattern with a behavioral finance approach. This is an applied, descriptive- survey, and cross-sectional study. The statistical population includes real investors in the Tehran Stock Exchange. The required information was collected using questionnaire and was analyzed using SPSS ...

The issues discussed in this chapter can be traced back to the Greek philosopher Eubulides of Miletus. He lived in the 4th century BCE, a contemporary of Aristotle whom he, according to Diogenes Laërtius, “was constantly attacking”. Eubulides belonged to what is known as the Megarian school of philosophy, founded by a pupil of Socrates by the name of Euclid(es). Besides his quarrels with Aristo...

The purpose of this talk is to outline an approach to the synthesis of controllers and lters in the behavioral frame work The main advantage is that the results obtained this way are representation independent with all the algorithmic advan tages that this entails The aim is to explain the solution of the problem discussed below but before doing so a number of back ground concepts need to be in...

nonlinear, black box model, behavioral model, input-output model, time-series, embedology This technical report describes the groundwork for our nonlinear modeling technologies. Future technical reports will go into detail about the specific solutions we are developing to build accurate models for nonlinear electronic devices from input-output measurements for possible use in CAD simulators suc...

The notion of behaviors introduced by Willems gives a good description of dynamical systems without reference to any particular representation of the system in terms of equations. In this note, we introduce a notion of behaviors that allows us to describe singular systems in a very natural way. The new deenition of behaviors given here is closely related to that of a sheaf over the projective l...
