Objectives. The aim of this study was to validate the breastfeeding experience scale (BES) in a sample of Iranian mothers. Methods. After translation and back translation of the BES, an expert panel evaluated the items by assessing the content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (CVI). 347 of mothers visiting health centers completed the Farsi version of the BES in the first month p...

Despite the growing importance of the online mobile gaming industry, little research has been undertaken to explain why consumers engage in this ubiquitous entertainment. This study attempts to develop an instrument to measure experiential value in online mobile gaming adoption. The proposed scale consists of seven first-order factors of experiential value: intrinsic enjoyment, escapism, effici...

The purpose of this study was to explore the effect gender, age, socioeconomic status, and early childhood parental attachment on vocational identity. Participants included 309 college students who completed a demographic questionnaire, Adult Scale Parental Attachment-Short Form (ASPA-SF; Michael & Snow, 2019), My Vocational Situation (MVS; Holland, Gottfredson, Power, 1980). Responses were...

background: the aim of the present study was to develop a scoring system for predicting 1-year major adverse cardiac events (mace), including mortality, target vessel or target lesion revascularization, coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and non-fatal myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention (pci). methods: the data were extracted from a single center pci registry. the ...

During current ramp-up discharges, highly localized magnetohydrody-namic (MHD) fluctuations were observed on the electron cyclotron emission (ECE) diagnostics of Alcator C-Mod tokamak [I. The electron temperature profile was hollow, while the density profile was weakly decreasing. Assuming that the equilibration time was short enough to quickly thermalize ions the pressure profile was also foun...

Individuals attribute more psychological (e.g., forget) than biological (e.g., eat) or physical (e.g., be touched) properties to supernatural beings (Shtulman, 2008). It is unclear how those domains each contribute to an overall conception of a supernatural being (e.g., God). Undergraduate students (N = 341) responded to nine questions representing the three domains or factors (psychological, b...

Wheel numeric and different versions of mobility numbers are important models for predicting the rolling resistance. In this study, data related to the rolling resistance of cross ply and radial ply tires were compared with the resultant values from several models. Also, the preciseness of models in rolling resistance prediction was evaluated. For this purpose F test and 1-1 line method (p≥ 0.0...
