Although the original Tool for Assessing Responsibility-based Education (TARE) has proven useful in several studies, it has limitations. The three-fold purpose of this article is to present a revised version of the TARE including a new section to measure students ́ behaviors, analyze the inter-rater reliability of the instrument, and assess the relationships between results of teacher and studen...

There has been strong interest in the new and emerging field called resilience engineering. This field has been quick to align itself with many existing safety disciplines, but it has also distanced itself from the field of human reliability analysis. To date, the discussion has been somewhat onesided, with much discussion about the new insights afforded by resilience engineering. This paper pr...

We examined the joint interview interrater reliability of the Structured Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Personality Disorders (SIDP-IV) in 433 non-treatment-seeking military recruits. Reliability was computed for the diagnosis of a specific personality disorder (PD) and for the number of PD criteria present, and computed using a dimensional ...

OBJECTIVE To develop a taxonomy of doctors' questions about patient care that could be used to help answer such questions. DESIGN Use of 295 questions asked by Oregon primary care doctors to modify previously developed taxonomy of 1101 clinical questions asked by Iowa family doctors. SETTING Primary care practices in Iowa and Oregon. PARTICIPANTS Random samples of 103 Iowa family doctors ...

Modeling of reliability characteristics typically assumes that components and systems fail if a certain individual damage level is exceeded. Every (mechanical) system damage increases irreversibly due to employed loading and (mechanical) stress, respectively. The main issue of damage estimation is adequate determination of the actual state-of-damage. Several mathematical modeling approaches are...

In standard taxonomies, motor skills are typically treated as representative of implicit or procedural memory. We examined two emblematic tasks of implicit motor learning, sensorimotor adaptation and sequence learning, asking whether individual differences in learning are correlated between these tasks, as well as how individual differences within each task are related to different performance ...

This paper presents a new, non-binary measure of the reliability of broadcast algorithms, called ∆Reliability. This measure quantifies the reliability of practical broadcast algorithms that, on the one hand, were devised with some form of reliability in mind, but, on the other hand, are not considered reliable according to the “traditional” notion of broadcast reliability [8]. Our specification...
