Mass consumption of bottled water is contributing to a multitude of environmental problems, including water wastage, pollution, and climate change. The aim of this study is to advance a social-psychological understanding of how to effectively reduce bottled water consumption. An online survey experiment was conducted among students of a Dutch public university to explore outcome beliefs about d...

The case of adaptive testing under a multidimensional logistic response model is addressed. An adaptive algorithm is proposed that minimizes the (asymptotic) variance of the maximum-likelihood (ML) estimator of a linear combination of abilities of interest. The item selection criterion is a simple expression in closed form. In addition, it is shown how the algorithm can be adapted if the intere...

The presented study concerns the delayed response of photosynthetic performance to summer drought. Increasing drought events are thought be one most detrimental and expensive natural disasters. For that reason, we studied condition urban trees, which especially susceptible water deficit. Three species linden trees (T. tomentosa, T. × europaea cordata) growing in city area Krakow, Poland, were i...
