The application of dynamic malware analysis in order to automate the monitoring of malware behavior has become increasingly important. For this purpose, so-called sandboxes are used. They provide the functionality to execute malware in a secure, controlled environment and observe its activities during runtime. While a variety of sandbox software, such as the GFI Sandbox (formerly CWSandbox) or ...

Self-Monitoring (SM) is a concept that refers to individual differences in this orientation toward regulation of social behavior. The goal of the present research was to provide a Spanish adaptation of Snyder and Gangestad's (1986) Revised SM Scale. After conducting an initial pilot study, results showed that the Spanish version of the scale had good internal reliability and adequate factor str...

Hematopoietic stem cells and their progenitors exhibit multilineage patterns of gene expression. Molecular mechanisms underlying the generation and refinement of these patterns during cell fate determination remain unexplored because of the absence of suitable experimental systems. Using PU.1(-/-) progenitors, we demonstrate that at subthreshold levels, this Ets transcription factor regulates a...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to construct and test a structural equation modeling on burnout of clinical nurses based on CS-CF model. METHODS A survey using a structured questionnaire was conducted with 557 clinical nurses. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. RESULTS The modified hypothetical model yielded the following χ(2)=289.70, p<.001, RMSEA=.09, GFI=.93, TL...

Childhood obesity is one of the greatest public health challenges in Western countries. Abnormal eating behavior is thought to be a developmental trajectory to obesity. The Eating Pattern Inventory for Children (EPI-C) has not been used for children as young as eight years, and possible associations with body weight have not yet been established. Five hundred and twenty-one children of the Ulm ...

This study sought to analyze the structure of the young adult version of the Quality of Life Scale--QOLS--proposed by Soares in a sample of elderly women, considering more robust psychometric properties. To achieve this Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) were conducted using AMOS GRAFICS (version 18.0). The sample was comprised of 143 women aged 67.45 ± 3....

To examine the correlations among environmental perceptions, motivational beliefs, and self-regulating learning of Tehran high school third-year boys, a causal model was used and 685 students were selected by multistage cluster-sampling method. The motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (Pintrich & De Groot, 1990), Students' Achievement Goal Orientations (Midgley, Kaplan, Middleton, Ma...

Socially anxious and healthy Spanish adolescents were studied in order to test the psychometric properties of the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED). Confirmatory factor analyses were employed to test measurement invariance between these two populations, Cronbach's alphas were calculated to determine the reliabilities of the scales, and partial eta-square tests calcul...

The present study aims to investigate the validity and reliability of Carlo Magno (2010) Academic Self-Regulation Learning scale (ASRL-S). In this regard, 360 students including 252 girls and 108 boys were selected by stratified sampling method among students of the Faculty of Humanities of Islamic Azad University of Quchan. To assess the reliability of the questionnaire, Cronbach's alpha coeff...
