Abstract:

Retrospective pretests provide a potentially useful elaboration on research methodology if they can be shown to be dependable under specific sets of conditions. Previous studies have examined response-shift bias and response-style effects, but less attention has been given to memory distortion associated with the retrospective recall of diverse types of variables. Identifying psychometric characteristics of these measures may help to clarify the picture emerging from retrospective accounts. The present study applied a methodology developed to measure the systematic error (i.e., memory distorti

Abstract:

Fahrerablenkung ist ein Begriff, der in den vergangen Jahren verstärkt in das Blickfeld der Öffentlichkeit geraten ist. Dies ist im Wesentlichen zurückzuführen auf die deutlich steigende Verbreitung und Nutzung von Fahrerinformationssystemen. Gleichzeitig führt die steigende Automatisierung im Fahrzeug dazu, dass dem Fahrer in seiner subjektiven Wahrnehmung mehr Ressourcen zur Verfügung stehen, um sich anderen Aktivitäten wie etwa Essen, Rauchen oder Telefonieren zuzuwenden. Die steigende Aktualität dieser Problematik wirft viele Fragen auf. Wie häufig tritt Fahrerablenkung auf? Welche Konsequ

Multidimensional deprivation and persistent poverty are important research areas within the poverty measurement literature. Still, both encompass measurement issues for which methodological solutions are yet to be analysed.

First, it evaluates the effect of different demographic population structures on societal multidimensional deprivation incidence comparisons. The results of this evaluation demonstrate t

Abstract:

New ideas and methodologies need to be developed to advance our knowledge in the understanding of moral development. The intertwined nature of human activities, communication processes, and the numerous aspects of morality pose a challenge to researchers to construct a methodology that takes into account cognition, affect, sociocultural processes and characteristics, as well as the active role of individuals in their own development. In this paper we aim at suggesting fresh theoretical ideas and a micro genetic methodology to study moral development, particularly within educational contexts.<b

Abstract:

The accurate determination of malingering relies on the use of validated and clinically relevant assessment measures. Simulation design is the most often-used research design to accomplish this. However, its external validity is sometimes questioned. The goal of the thesis was to systematically evaluate these major elements: situation, incentives, and coaching. The situation in simulation studies can vary from relevant (academic failure in a college population) to irrelevant (capital murder) for the samples being studied. Incentives refer to the external motivation given to improve simulators'

Abstract:

This thesis discusses the pleiotropy theory of ageing in evolutionary biology in some of its most important aspects. In short, the theory says that natural selection fosters the early-life survival and reproductive performances of an organism even if this would necessarily impose a cost on later-life survivorship and reproduction thereby leading to the evolution of that peculiar pattern of age-correlated decline in biological functioning that characterizes ageing. The theory predicts that the level of external/environmental mortality should positively correlate with the rate of ageing in a pop

There is evidence that sedentary behaviour and breaks in sedentary time, independent of physical activity levels, influence human health. In order to explore this relationship, accurate and validated measurement instruments are required. Such tools are also required for exploring the effects of factors such as the differences in sedentary behaviour between groups, e.g. overweight/obese vs. healthy weight children. One promising instrument for making such measurements is the activPAL™ monitor. This is an event-based accelerometer with inbuilt inclinometer, and it may be more accurate for the me

The process of drug development is long and burdensome as it requires a deep understanding of the underlying mechanisms of drug action and effect. This is particularly challenging when biological drugs are involved, as they display unique pharmacokinetic (PK) features, with respect to more well-defined chemical drugs. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) can be considered the most difficult biological drugs to characterize because of their large molecules and complex structures. They often display nonlinear PK, that is usually due, at least partly, to target mediated drug disposition (TMDD): the bindi

Diet Induced Thermogenesis (DIT) is the energy expended consequent to meal consumption, and reflects the energy required for the processing and digestion of food consumed throughout each day. Although DIT is the total energy expended across a day in digestive processes to a number of meals, most studies measure thermogenesis in response to a single meal (Meal Induced Thermogenesis: MIT) as a representation of an individual’s thermogenic response to acute food ingestion. As a component of energy expenditure, DIT may have a contributing role in weight gain and weight loss. While the evidence is
