Criterion Validity

J. H. Duffus · IUPAC Standards Online · 2016

The glossary contains definitions and explanatory notes, if needed, for over 1200 terms frequently used in the multidisciplinary field of toxicology. The glossary is compiled primarily for chemists who now find themselves working in toxicology or requiring a knowledge of the subject, especially for hazard and risk assessment Many medical terms are included because of their frequent occurrence in the toxicological literature and because chemists would not normally be expected to be familiar with them. There are two annexes, one containing a list of abbreviations used in toxicology and and one containing a list of abbreviations used by international bodies and by legislation relevant to toxicology and chemical safety.

<div><p>Chronic pain is a prevalent issue worldwide and is a significant contributor to human suffering and disability. The Graded Chronic Pain Scale-Revised has exhibited favorable reliability and validity. However, its applicability yet to be explored in China. We aimed to create a simplified Chinese version of the Graded Chronic Pain Scale-Revised for chronic pain patients by conducting cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric evaluation. This study employs a two- phase design. In phase 1, the Graded Chronic Pain Scale-Revised was cross-culturally translated and adapted in accordance with international guidelines. In phase 2, the simplified Chinese version of the Graded Chronic Pain Scale-Revised was administered to 417 participants along with Numerical Rating Scale to assess its psychometric properties. The final analysis consisted of data from 376 participants. The scale had a Cronbach’s α coefficient of 0.944. Moreover, the scale exhibited excellent content validity and was divided into two dimensions: identifying high impact chronic pain; and the Pain, Enjoyment, and General Activities subscale. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed that these dimensions had a good model fit. Additionally, the simplified Chinese version of the Graded Chronic Pain Scale-Revised demonstrated good convergent and discriminant validity. The receiver operating characteristic curve demonstrated that grades 2 and 3 had a good predictive effect on limiting participants’ work ability, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was equal to 0.91. The present study demonstrates the successful adaptation of the Graded Chronic Pain Scale-Revised into Simplified Chinese, with the revised version exhibiting favorable psychometric properties. This scale addresses the shortcomings of domestic chronic pain grading assessment tools, providing a valuable instrument for evaluating the severity of chronic pain in Chinese clinical practice and serving as a reference and basis for other research related to chronic pain.</p></div>

<div> Background Measuring person-centered maternity care outcomes typically consists of two types of measures: experiences of care and satisfaction with care. There are limited validated measurement tools for these measures, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The QUALI-DEC study aims to improve decision-making around caesarean section. We describe development of the QUALI-DEC Study Birth Experience and Satisfaction (QD-BES) scale, and scale validation in Argentina, Burkina Faso, Thailand, and Viet Nam. Methods We used a three-phase scale development and validation approach: 1) item development, 2) scale development, and 3) scale evaluation. We systematically identified existing tools, and assessed them using the QUALI-DEC theory of change, study context, and psychometric qualities. We proposed the 10-item QD-BES scale to balance feasibility, theoretical coverage, and comprehensiveness. We conducted a baseline exit survey with post-partum women in 32 hospitals in 4 countries. We conducted exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Results 3127 women participated, most were multiparous (61.0%), without previous caesarean section (77.2%), and preferred vaginal birth (72.8%) despite high rates of caesarean section (39.4%). EFA identified three dimensions: emotional satisfaction (3-items), support and respect by providers (4-items), and communication with providers (3-items), with high loading coefficients (0.5–0.97). CFA confirmed the three-dimension scale, with good model fit (CFI and IFI: 0.95, Cronbach’s alpha: 0.70–0.90). Criterion validity was assessed by exploring characteristics of women, obstetric histories, and birth experiences. Conclusions We present psychometric validation of a scale measuring women’s satisfaction with care and experiences of childbirth care, using a systematic approach to development and validation in four LMICs. The 10-item QD-BES-scale is short, easily-administered, valid, and reliable. The QD-BES-scale is useful to contribute to the generation of new knowledge about quality of maternity care in LMICs, as well as help to meet the major challenge of implementing and measuring respectful care at scale. </div>

<div> Public participation has been widely acknowledged as a mechanism to enhance residents’ trust in governmental institutions. However, the specific pathways through which public participation influences trust via the perceived responsiveness of local government remain underexplored, particularly in post-war settings such as Mogadishu, Somalia. Hence, this study aimed to explore the impact of public participation on residents’ trust in local authorities in Mogadishu, Somalia, through the perceived responsiveness as a mediator in this relationship within the unique context of a post-war country. Data were collected between January 20 and April 30, 2024. This research employed a quantitative online survey to gather data from 446 inhabitants of Mogadishu City, Somalia. The subjects in the study were recruited using a convenient sampling technique. The proposed model was analyzed using covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) in SmartPLS version 4 to examine the hypothesized relationships and mediating effects. The findings indicated that perceived public participation positively and significantly predicted both perceptions of responsiveness and residents’ trust in local authorities. The findings also revealed that perceptions of local government responsiveness were directly, positively, and significantly associated with residents’ trust in the city administration. The results ultimately indicated a positive partial mediation effect of perceived local government responsiveness on the association between public participation and residents’ trust in city administration. This study addresses a lacuna in the literature by exploring how perceived public participation influences residents’ trust in city authorities in a post-conflict setting, particularly in Somalia. This underscores the significance of perceived responsiveness as a mediator in enhancing residents’ trust, providing invaluable insights for policymakers and local government officials. </div>

<div> Instruction in coding for children has emerged as a significant means of fostering computational thinking, with gamification serving a crucial reinforcing function in this educational process. This experimental study integrates four principal gamification elements—role-playing, rewards, challenges, and cooperation—into unplugged children’s coding education tools to examine their impacts on children’s flow experience and learning engagement. Under the theoretical framework of Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R), researchers developed an unplugged coding education prototype named “Coding Adventure,” employing an explanatory sequential mixed-methods approach with 295 Chinese elementary students (aged 8–10 years). Subsequent qualitative interviews were conducted with 12 stratified participants. Empirical findings demonstrate that role-playing and cooperation effectively enhance children’s flow experience when engaging in coding education tools. Children role-play heroes and engage in “real fights,” engage in teamwork and communicate with others, which can bring them into a flow experience. The flow experience effectively enhances children’s learning engagement. The main reasons are the immersion, upgrade experience, practicality, goal-orientedness, teamwork and partner’s suggestions brought by gamification elements. Moreover, rewards and cooperation also directly positively influence children’s learning engagement. Intrinsic and extrinsic rewards, engagement in teamwork and receiving encouragement and suggestions from interactions with classmates are thought to increase children’s motivation to learn. This study examined the effects of diverse gamification elements on children’s flow experience and learning engagement in an unplugged gamified coding education tool under the framework of the S-O-R theory. Additionally, this study demonstrated important practical implications by providing developers of coding education tools with a clear path to enhancing participants’ sense of immersion and achievement. </div>

<div> This study explores the impact of the classroom climate, encompassing both the physical environment (PE) and teacher–student interactions (TSI), on music aesthetic literacy (MAL) among nonmusic-major college students. Utilizing a cross-sectional design and convenience sampling, data were collected from 305 valid respondents enrolled in music aesthetics courses. Pearson correlation and linear regression analyses were conducted to investigate the relationships between PE, TSI, and four MAL dimensions: Habit, Attitude, Knowledge, and Performance and Appreciation Skill (PAS). Results indicate that both PE and TSI influence MAL significantly and positively, with TSI having a stronger impact. Specifically, TSI demonstrated greater effects on Attitude, Habit, Knowledge, and PAS, while PE had a notable impact on Knowledge and Habit but less influence on PAS. Linear regression results revealed that PE and TSI collectively explained 43.6% of the variance in MAL (F(2,302) = 116.635, p < 0.05), underscoring the importance of the classroom climate in shaping students’ music aesthetic literacy. These findings suggest that enhancing TSI and creating favorable PEs can effectively support music education in higher education. </div>
