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...

the purpose of this study was to examine how four teachers used the seven processes of videotape analysis to develop an analytic approach and reflective thinking towards their teaching. the study was organized within video clubs and was used to describe the interactions among four teachers about their experiences at a language institute. data were gathered through videotaped recordings of lesso...

 In view of the fact that pre-service teachers’ critical reflection through evaluating teaching activity of their peers is an important part of practicum activity, the current study aimed to analyze the recall and reflection journals written by pre-service teachers to identify and evaluate the discoursal features of their journals. To this end, a total of 272 recall and reflection journals writ...

With todays wide acceptance of distributed computing, a rapidly growing number of application domains are emerging, leading to a growing number of ad-hoc solutions, rigid and poorly interoperable. Our response to this challenge is a platform for building flexible and interoperable execution environments (including language and system aspects) called the Virtual Virtual Machine. This paper prese...
