Development and Validation of Successful Aging Instrument

Objectives: Successful aging is an interdisciplinary concept. Despite the great body of literature on successful aging, few studies have focused on its subjective and multidimensional measurements. Thus, the present study aimed to develop an instrument to measure self-perceived successful aging. Methods: We used a mixed method approach. The successful aging dimensions were explored through an ...

Handwriting Difficulties: Introducing an Instrument

Objectives: The main purpose of this study is to produce an instrument for handwriting evaluation and to execute it on mentally retarded (MR) students. Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional, and relationship study. 126 MR students (53 girls and 73 boys) ranging from 9 to 19 years old (13.23±2.17) from two exceptional children schools in shahr-e-rey participated in this study. A ha...

Instrument development.

Ground-based Folurier Transform infrared (FTIR) instruments are being produced at the University of Wisconsin (UW) and the Unliversity of Denver (UD) for the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program's Cloud and Radiation Te:stbed (CART) sites as part of a joint Instrument Development Program (lOP). The three instrument types under development are summarized in Table 1 . For each ARM site...

Instrument Semiotics

In this and the following companion paper, Tearing Interfaces Apart, we shall present a theoretical semiotic analysis of interfaces and demonstrate how this analysis can be coupled to an empirical analysis of a work domain and its changing needs for information. The work domain is maritime maneuvering and navigation. We do this by exploiting two senses of the concept “analysis”. “Analysis” mean...
