Objective, reliable behavioral tests are needed to refine on-site welfare assessments of dogs housed at commercial breeding (CB) kennels and provide a basis to inform predictions of their behavior when retired from such kennels. This study tested the reliability, construct validity, and applicability of a protocol for the behavioral assessment of dogs from CB kennels that might be useful in comprehensive welfare assessments of this population. A sample of 447 dogs from 26 CB kennels in the Midwestern US were assessed in their pens. Responses to an approach test (performed on three consecutive

Abstract:

Communication interventionists often encounter children whose ability to learn new skills and interact with others is jeopardized by challenging behaviors. Challenging behaviors may take many forms (e.g., hitting, screaming, self-injury) as well as serve a variety of purposes or functions (e.g., obtaining access to or escaping from objects, activities, or attention). The purpose of this article is to (a) discuss assessment strategies that interventionists may find helpful when attempting to accurately pinpoint the function of challenging behavior, (b) present an array of proactive intervention

Even though not equally well defined as other fire safety requirements concerning glazed facades, there is plenty of test methods for assessment of facades regarding falling parts, mostly based on an approach related to fire spread.

Convergent experimental data, autobiographical studies, and investigations on daily life have all demonstrated that gathering information retrospectively is a highly dubious methodology.

The method of choice to circumvent these biases is the use of electronic diaries to collect self-reported symptoms, behavi

Pain is a prevalent symptom that can be underrecognized because of the ability of the patient to self-report. Several tools are available to help with the identification of pain, but they should only be one aspect in the overall assessment.

Abstract:

Perceived benefits associated with product consumption are the main consideration for consumers when purchasing particular products or services. Taking perfume as an example, the authors applied Means-End chain theory to establish attribute-benefit-value (A-B-V) hierarchies, and further adopted centrality and prestige indices to assess the variable assessment of product benefits. Analytical results indicate that consumers are primarily concerned with personal feeling, seduction and self-imagery benefits. Marketers can utilize analytical results of benefit-variable assessment for product design

Abstract:

Animal welfare is increasingly important for the Australian livestock industries, to maintain social licence to practice as well as ensuring market share overseas. Improvement of animal welfare in the livestock industries requires several important key steps. Paramount among these, objective measures are needed for welfare assessment that will enable comparison and contrast of welfare implications of husbandry procedures or housing options. Such measures need to be versatile (can be applied under a wide range of on- and off-farm situations), relevant (reveal aspects of the animal’s affective o

Abstract:

Researchers have recently called for a greater emphasis on the use of functional assessment procedures in the selection of treatment strategies for problem behavior in persons with mental retardation. In applied settings there are several methods available for conducting a functional assessment. This article identifies and describes three methods that have been used in applied behavior analysis research: informant assessment (e.g., behavioral interviews, rating scales, and questionnaires), direct observation assessment, and experimental analysis. Although experimental analysis provides the mos

Abstract:

Understanding the corrosion mechanisms and the effect of corrosion products on the basic properties of the salt (e.g., melting point, heat capacity) is fundamental for the safety assessment and durability of molten salt reactor technology. This work focused on the thermodynamic assessment of the CrF2−CrF3 system and the binary systems of chromium trifluoride CrF3 with alkali fluorides (LiF, NaF, KF) using the CALPHAD (computer coupling of phase diagrams and thermochemistry) method. In this work, the modified quasi-chemical model in the quadruplet approximation was used to develop new thermodyn

Abstract Objective. Considering the importance of ghrelin in stress-induced hyperphagia and a role of antioxidants in decreasing body weight, in the present study, the effect of vitamin C (VitC) on ghrelin secretion and food intake following chronic social isolation (CIS) was evaluated in rats. Methods. Thirty two male Wistar rats (200–220g) were randomly divided into: control, VitC, CIS, and CIS + VitC groups. Animals received VitC (500 mg/kg/day)/saline by gavage for 3 weeks. For 24 h cumulative and post 18–20 h fasting food intake, fasting plasma ghrelin level, and body weight were measured

Abstract:

We tested the hypothesis that knowledge of the variables controlling problem behavior could be used to select reinforcers. Students with severe developmental disabilities who exhibited frequent aggression, self-injury, and/or tantrums participated in the study. One group (N = 7) was assessed to engage in problem behavior maintained by social attention, and the second group (N = 7) was assessed to engage in problem behavior maintained by escape from unpleasant situations. A combined multiple baseline and alternating treatments design demonstrated that (a) praise was a reinforcer for the group w

Abstract:

Spastic paresis is a frequent complication of lesions to central motor pathways. Patients who develop spasticity require specialised rehabilitation programmes to alleviate their symptoms, help them to relearn motor skills and regain some independence. Long-term management of patients with spastic paresis requires a comprehensive approach that addresses the patient’s physical needs and mental wellbeing, and continues throughout all stages of the rehabilitation process.There are three pillars of success for long-term rehabilitation programmes in spastic paresis.

Recent developments in the field of telehealth suggest that novel technologies may ameliorate patients’ limited access to clinicians capable of conducting ASD assessments (Koch, 2006). Specifically, studies have shown that parents can capture informative behaviors that aid in autism assessment by using phone-based applications, and use of these videos result in diagnoses that are consistent with those of clinicians who interact with the same child in person (Nazneen et al., 2015; Smith et al., In press). It is yet unknown how clinicians make use of the information gleaned from videos uploaded

Abstract Recent population trends for the United States show substantial increases in racial diversity as well as an increase in the older adult demographic. Accordingly, the expansion in minority older adults suggests the importance of recognizing how race affects future care planning (FCP) in late life. The aim of this paper is to investigate the racial similarities and differences in planning behavior and intentions related to end-of-life care planning. This study utilized data from the Future Care Planning intervention based on the initial assessment with 237 older adults in rural Iowa (Ma

Abstract Distinct types of fish species experience variation in somatic growth rates over their life span; however, growth has historically been assumed to be invariant across time and space in integrated analysis-based stock assessment. A few previous studies have reported biased and imprecise assessment model outcomes when variability in somatic growth was ignored. In this study, we used a simulation-estimation framework to expand previous analyses and to examine the consequences of ignoring or incorporating spatial and temporal (year- and cohort-specific) variability in somatic growth in st

The present study’s aim was to assess the test−retest reliability (TRR) of the ‘Welfare Quality® animal welfare assessment protocol for sows and piglets’ focusing on the welfare principle ‘appropriate behavior’. TRR was calculated using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient (RS), intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), smallest detectable change (SDC), and limits of agreement (LoA). Principal component analysis (PCA) was used for deeper analysis of the Qualitative Behavior Assessment (QBA).
