Abstract:
This article reports on the effort to test psychometric properties of the revised version of Skala Karakter Wirausaha (SK-Wira). The research aims to clarify the scale’s internal structure by examining its construct validity. Construct validity is proven through confirming the internal structure and associating the scale with relevant variables. Revised version of SK-Wira and other measures were administered to university students in Magelang and Makassar (N = 598). After completing CFA, Study 1 confirmed that SK-Wira can be used as both multidimensional scale (model 1) to measure general entrepreneurial character, and unidimensional scales (model 2) to measure specific domains separately. Both models showed good fit. In Study 2, general and specific domains of entrepreneurial character were correlated with hope of success, fear of failure, openness to experience, neuroticism, entrepreneurial intention, and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. The results accepted all proposed hypotheses. In conclusion, SK-Wira is a valid instrument to measure entrepreneurial character for psychology of entrepreneurship research.

Abstract:
Introduction: Infantile hemangiomas are the most common benign soft tissue tumors in pediatrics, with a general incidence of 3-10% of the population. The Hemangioma Severity Scale was formulated by Haggstrom et al 2012, to measure the severity of hemangiomas according to the identification of clinical variables, assigning morbidity values ​​associated with already published variables and in the clinical experience of experts on the subject. However, it has been designed and developed in the American population. Therefore, the objective of this study was to validate and translate the Hemangioma Severity Scale for its application in Mexican pediatric patients. Materials and methods: The hemangioma severity scale was applied by 2 expert pediatric dermatology subspecialists, and then the responses were compared using correlation indices by a statistician who was biased. Results: A coefficient was performed on the first item, an index of 0.714 was obtained. The following items obtained a 0.799 for the location, a 1 for the risk of structural abnormalities, 0.516 for complications, 0.298 for the item of pain and in the general risk and probability of deformation a kappa index of 0.670 was obtained. Conclusions: The application of the Hemangiomas Severity Scale in pediatric patients is a useful and reproducible tool with great clinical applicability in our population.

Abstract:
Objectives: to develop a novel religious orientation scale based on the Quran and validate it with pre-university students of secondary education Method: All the Quranic ayat which addressed its believers directly regarding their religious orientation were scrutinized in terms of pre-university students’ characteristics, resulting in the selection of 57 upon which a 60-item Quranic Orientation Scale (QOS) was developed. The scale was administered to 1123 students and their responses were subjected to Principal Axis Factoring and Promax with Kaiser Normalization (PKN). Results: Out of 60 items comprising the QOS, 48 loaded acceptably and exclusively on seven rotated factors called believing in holy scriptures,, remembering and seeking Allah, fulfilling Quranic obligations, following Allah confidently, following Quranic instructions, not befriending disbelievers, and informed Quranic struggle. Both the scale and its underlying factors had internal consistency and correlated significantly with each other. Conclusion: The Quran teaches the domain of religious orientation directly to its readers as a hierarchically and culturally independent schema consisting of specific species and genera. Pre-university student, however, not only reduce the domain as regards the number of its constituting species and genera but also develop their own religious families. Going through this process consciously they render their religious orientation a hierarchically and culturally organized schema.

Abstract:
Purpose: This study presents a nine-factor, 32-item measure of work environment scale in the service sector. A healthy work environment is one in which employees trust the people they work for, have pride in what they do, and enjoy working with the people (Levering and Moskowitz, 2004). Methodology: This instrument builds on the conceptual model espoused by Insel and Moos (1974), Gordon (1973), Fletcher and Nusbaum (2010), Amabile et al. (1996), and Spector (2003). The scale included items elicited through a literature review, the use of the Delphi technique with a panel of experts, and tested on 824 full-time employees from nine service sector industries and five major cities in India. Findings: The Work Environment Services Scale (WESS) is a reliable and valid scale useful for measuring the nine work environment factors in the Indian services organization, with its own norms and a detailed manual. Originality/Value: The prevailing scales for measuring work environment do not capture the influence of ethics, recreation facilities, and the impact of social giving on the work environment. Most scales were suitable for sectors in the Western context, and there were no Indian scales measuring service employees’ perception of their work environment.

Abstract:
Background: Divorce has become an individualistic as well as collective problem in all societies requiring a sound theory and statistics to address it explanatorily and empirically. Objective: Almost all studies in various fields of knowledge have addressed divorce categorically. The present study was, however, designed to explore it as a cognitive domain by resorting to psychiatry, psychology, and religion and schema theory. Methodology: Several male and female individuals who were divorcing or divorced were interviewed to develop the 30-item divorcing the self-incompatible scale (DSIS). The scale was then administered to 548 divorcing and/or divorced selves (DDS) and their responses were subjected to Principal Axis Factoring and Promax with Kaiser Normalization to specify what factors underlie the scale. Results: The 30 items comprising the DSIS loaded acceptably on eight factors representing the cognitive families of Having Various Conflicts, Prioritizing Personal Interests, Having No Principles, Having No Decency, Having Different Tastes, Social Media Addiction, No Marital Education, and Misunderstanding Married Life. The families correlated significantly not only with each other but also with the DSIS representing the domain of divorce. Conclusion: Divorce is a cognitive domain through which the DDS reveal their self-theistic, polytheistic or practicing monotheistic selves.

Abstract:
People’s accents in speech strongly influence how they are perceived by others. The current Accent Beliefs Scale was inspired by work on stigmatization, implicit theories of intelligence, and essentialism. The scale has two dimensions: accent diagnosticity and accent stability. The scale was developed, validated, and applied using a mixed methods approach with a QUAN–qual sequential design. Pretest and Study 1 developed the items, the subscales, and showed that diagnosticity and stability beliefs are independent of each other. Study 2 confirmed the scale’s two-factor structure on a large sample and proved its divergent and convergent validity. Study 3 addressed predictive validity and showed that the more perceivers viewed accents as diagnostic of other traits and the more they believed accents can be changed, the worse they evaluated a nonnative speaker with a strong accent. The developed scale can help understanding and predicting negative reactions to nonnative speakers.

Abstract:
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior
The optopmetric scale is used on oftamologic clinic exam and selecting to determine the visual accuracy. On earlier study, by Dantas (2003), a method was developed for the selections of optoptics for the scale of regionalized images, as a initial proposal. Therefore, in order for this scale to be valid, it is needed to deepen the studies on the relation of the structuring and organizing of these optoptics, with visual accuracy and practical testing. The objectives are: To valid the RAD scale as its capacity to identify children with ocular alterations; Evaluate the co-relation among the coefficients of visual accuracy; Verify the associations among the tests; Verify the agreement of the measurement of the three examiners for the right and left eyes, separately. Study of validation of technology, experimental, random, triple blind, quantitative, developed over the first semester of 2006, having as sample, 246 students, selected on a random simple way. The methodological referential used by the research was adapted from the model of construto test with the theoric, experimental and analytic procedures. For the validation of the RAD scale, statistic coefficients of validating and precision are used. The sensibility for the moments RAD 1 and RAD 2 was respectively 88,6 and 85,7 for the right eye, and 78,6 and 92,9 for the left eye. As to the specificity the values found for the RAD 1 and RAD 2 scales were 95,3 and 98,1 for the right eye, and 97,7 and 98,6 for the left eye. Respectively, the positive predictive value (VP+) on the RAD 1 moment was 75,6 and 81,5 and on the RAD 2 moment, was 88,2 and 89,7; The negative predictive value (VP-) on the RAD 1 moment was 98,0 and 97,3 and on the RAD 2 moment it was 97,6 and 99,1. There was a correlation among the visual accuracy coefficients between âSnellen and RAD 1â, âSnellen and RAD 2â, for the two eyes (p = 0,0001). On the (X2) association were found a coefficient of 151,90 (p = 0,0001) for RAD 1 and 177,07 (p = 0, 0001) fro RAD 2; For the left and right eyes on RAD 1, it was 147,75 (p = 0,0001) and 199.69 (p = 0,0001) on RAD 2 on the right eye. For the concordance analysis in all cases, an Alpha de Cronbach higher than 0,929 was found. The data show significant between the standard criteria used and the scale of images in analysis. According to literature, the validation model in technology establishes rules to be fulfilled. The making of a regionalized chart of figures must fulfill the following rules: Use of the theory of image formation to construct optometric scales. Use of the visual system to characterize the visual learning (step 1); Patterning of the optometric scale as system proprieties. (step 2); Use of dimensionality based on the opticâphysiologic aspects. (step 3); And characterization of the main definitions to be followed on the validation of the images and building of optoptics. (step 4); Demonstration of the operationalization on elaborating optometric scales. (step 5); Analysis of the optoptics of the image scale. (step 6); Planning of the application on the methodology. (step 7); Application and gathering for the measurements of the ocular alterations (step 8); Use of validation techniques (step 9); Use of precision techniques (step 10) and final considerations (step 11). The established rules serve as a starting point to de development of the chart in each region, for each one should have its own characteristic that must be respected.
A escala optomÃtrica à utilizada em exame clÃnico oftalmolÃgico e triagens para determinar a acuidade visual. Em estudo anterior realizado por Dantas (2003), desenvolveu-se um mÃtodo para seleÃÃo dos optÃtipos para escala de figuras regionalizada, como uma proposta inicial. Entretanto, para esta escala ser validada, à necessÃrio aprofundar os estudos na relaÃÃo da estruturaÃÃo e organizaÃÃo desses optÃtipos com a acuidade visual e de testes prÃticos. TÃm-se como objetivos: validar a escala RAD quanto a sua capacidade de identificaÃÃo de crianÃa portadora de alteraÃÃo ocular; avaliar a correlaÃÃo entre os coeficientes da acuidade visual; verificar a associaÃÃo entre os testes; verificar a concordÃncia das medidas dos trÃs examinadores para os olhos direito e esquerdo, separadamente. Estudo de validaÃÃo de tecnologia, experimental, aleatÃrioo, triplo cego, quantitativo, desenvolvido durante o primeiro semestre de 2006 tendo como amostra 246 alunos selecionados de forma aleatÃria simples. O referencial teÃrico metodolÃgico adotado para a pesquisa foi adaptado do modelo de teste de construto contemplando os procedimentos teÃrico, experimental e analÃtico. Para validaÃÃo da escala RAD, utilizaram-se coeficientes estatÃsticos de validade e precisÃo. A sensibilidade para os momentos RAD 1 e RAD 2 foi, respectivamente, 88,6 e 85,7 para o olho direito e 78,6 e 92,9 para o esquerdo. Quanto à especificidade, os valores encontrados para as escalas RAD 1 e RAD 2 foram, respectivamente, 95,3 e 98,1 para o olho direito e 97,7 e 98,6 para o esquerdo. Para os olhos direito e esquerdo, respectivamente, o valor preditivo positivo (VP+) no momento RAD 1 foi de 75,6 e 81,5 e no momento RAD 2 foi de 88,2 e 89,7; jà o valor preditivo negativo (VP-) no momento RAD 1 foi de 98,0 e 97,3 e no momento RAD 2 foi de 97,6 e 99,1. Houve correlaÃÃo entre coeficientes da acuidade visual entre âSnellen e RAD 1â, âSnellen e RAD 2â, para os dois olhos (p = 0,0001). Na associaÃÃo (X2) encontrou-se um coeficiente de 151,90 (p = 0,0001) para RAD 1 e de 177,07 (p = 0,0001) para RAD 2; para o olho direito e para o esquerdo em RAD 1 foi de 147,75 (p = 0,0001) e de 199,69 (p = 0,0001) em RAD 2, no olho esquerdo. Para a anÃlise da concordÃncia em todos os casos encontrou-se um Alfa de Cronbach maior que 0,929. Os dados demonstram significÃncia entre o critÃrio padrÃo utilizado e a escala de figuras em anÃlise. Conforme a literatura, o modelo de validaÃÃo em tecnologia estabelece normas a serem cumpridas. A confecÃÃo de uma tabela de figuras regionalizada exige o cumprimento dos seguintes quesitos: uso da teoria de formaÃÃo da imagem para construÃÃo de escalas optomÃtricas: uso do sistema visual para caracterizar o aprendizado visual (passo 1); padronizaÃÃo da escala optomÃtrica como propriedade do sistema (passo 2); uso da dimensionalidade com base nos aspectos Ãptico-fisiolÃgicos (passo 3); e caracterizaÃÃo das definiÃÃes principais a serem seguidas na validaÃÃo de figuras e construÃÃo de optÃtipos (passo 4); demonstraÃÃo da operacionalizaÃÃo na elaboraÃÃo de escalas optomÃtricas (passo 5); anÃlise dos optÃtipos da escala de figuras (passo 6); planejamento da aplicaÃÃo na metodologia (passo 7); aplicaÃÃo e coleta para aferiÃÃo das alteraÃÃes oculares (passo 8); uso de tÃcnicas de validaÃÃo (passo 9); uso de tÃcnicas de precisÃo (passo 10) e consideraÃÃes finais (passo 11). As regras estabelecidas servem como ponto de partida para o desenvolvimento da tabela em cada regiÃo, pois cada uma deverà possuir suas caracterÃsticas prÃprias que devem ser respeitadas.

Abstract:
Abstract There is a great interest by practitioners and academics to consider patents as a strategic and organizational concern aiming to bring economic and competitive advantage, in addition to its legal value. To this end, patent management has a critical importance for enterprises operations, and successful firms are also known by their well-structured management process and organizational structure for patenting. However, there is a demand for a holistic, valid and practical measurement instruments to monitor patent management and assess firm patent portfolios. To fill this gap, the current study develops and validates patent management measurement scales at the firm level. To this purpose, a four-step (i.e. specify domain of the construct, item generation, scale purification, and scale finalization) widely recognized and structured scale development and validation procedure towards developing psychometrically sound measures is adopted. The first two steps focus on the development of measurement scales within a defined scope of investigation. To this end, an in-depth literature review supported by a qualitative analysis through interview with experts is carried out. These analyses allowed conceptualizing the theoretical background of the constructs under investigation, which leads us to develop a theoretical framework of patent management with core processes and supporting dimensions and associated activities and organizational aspects. Then, the pool of measurement items for each activities and organizational aspects are generated. In the third and fourth steps, we carried out exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to purify and validate, respectively, the measurement items using two samples of primary data collected through an online survey sent to firms located in Southern and Northern European countries (the EFA) and Central European countries (the CFA). The results of EFA and CFA yield some changes to the initial framework and the measurement items. More particularly, the study demonstrates that patent management is composed of five core processes (i.e. patent generation, freedom to operate, patent portfolio management, patent exploitation and enforcement, and patent intelligence) and two supporting dimensions (patent strategy and organization for patenting). For each core process and supporting dimension, the underlying factor structure with the associated measurement items are finalized after removing some items based on established criteria for item retention. Reliability and validity are also assessed to further support the soundness of the measurement scales. This study has both theoretical and practical implications. For academics, the study extends existing research by offering an up-to-date and comprehensive conceptualization of firm patent management activities, thereby enriching patent management body of literature. Moreover, it offers researchers a basis to test hypotheses about the relationships among processes and dimensions of patent management, and firms output attributes (e.g. performance) using real data collected from firms. In addition, the scales developed in this study for each core process and supporting dimension can also be used separately to suit specific research needs and examine a particular aspect of patent management. For managers, the study offers a comprehensive framework that can be used as an assessment tool to evaluate firm patent management. Moreover, the measurement of the current level of patent management can be used as a basis for managers and entrepreneurs to adopt a proactive attitude towards patent management.
Sommario Considerare i brevetti come un aspetto strategico-organizzativo che mira a portare un vantaggio economico e competitivo, in aggiunta al suo valore legale, sta diventando una pratica sempre più consolidata tra professionisti e accademici. In tal senso, la gestione dei brevetti ha un'importanza fondamentale per le imprese, tanto che le aziende di successo sono altrettanto note per la struttura organizzativa ed i loro efficaci processi di gestione dei brevetti. Tuttavia, vi è una richiesta di strumenti di misura olistici, validi e pratici per gestire i brevetti e valutare portafogli brevetti delle aziende. Per colmare questa lacuna, tale lavoro di tesi sviluppa e convalida delle scale di misura con riferimento al processo di gestione brevettuale a livello aziendale. A questo scopo, è stata adottata un’ampiamente conosciuta procedura di sviluppo e validazione di scale di misura strutturata in quattro fasi (i.e. specificare il dominio del costrutto, generare gli item, purificare le scale e finalizzare le scale). Le prime due fasi si concentrano sulla definizione dell’ambito di indagine e sullo sviluppo di scale di misura in questo ambito. A tal fine, è stata effettuata una revisione approfondita della letteratura supportata da un'analisi qualitativa attraverso delle interviste con esperti. Queste analisi hanno permesso di concettualizzare il background teorico dei costrutti oggetto di indagine, il che ha portato a sviluppare un framework di gestione dei brevetti composto da processi core e dimensioni di supporto, al cui interno sono state definite le rispettive attività e gli aspetti organizzativi. Quindi, è stato generato l’insieme di item di misura per ciascuna attività e aspetto organizzativo. Nella terza e quarta fase, sono state effettuate un'analisi fattoriale esplorativa e un'analisi fattoriale confermativa per purificare e validare, rispettivamente, gli item di misura utilizzando due campioni di dati primari raccolti attraverso un sondaggio online inviato alle aziende situate in Paesi dell'Europa meridionale e settentrionale (analisi esplorativa) e paesi dell'Europa centrale (analisi confermativa). I risultati di tali analisi hanno portato ad alcune modifiche al framework iniziale e agli item di misura. Più in particolare, lo studio dimostra che la gestione dei brevetti è composta da cinque processi fondamentali (i.e. generazione di brevetti, freedom to operate, gestione del portafoglio brevetti, sfruttamento e enforcement dei brevetti e intelligence sui brevetti) e due dimensioni di supporto (strategia dei brevetti e organizzazione per la brevettazione). Per ciascun processo principale e dimensione di supporto, sono stati definiti attività e fattori organizzativi (i cosiddetti “fattori”), con i relativi item di misura, dopo aver rimosso alcuni item in base a precisi criteri stabiliti in precedenza. Al fine di supportare ulteriormente la solidità delle scale di misurazione, sono state valutate l'affidabilità e la validità delle scale di misura con appositi test statistici. Questo studio ha implicazioni sia teoriche che pratiche. Dal punto di vista accademico, lo studio estende la ricerca esistente offrendo una concettualizzazione completa e aggiornata delle attività di gestione dei brevetti a livello aziendale, arricchendo in tal modo la letteratura sulla gestione dei brevetti. Inoltre, offre ai ricercatori una base per testare le ipotesi sulle relazioni tra i processi e le dimensioni della gestione dei brevetti e le caratteristiche di output delle imprese (e.g. prestazioni) utilizzando dati reali raccolti dalle aziende. Inoltre, le scale sviluppate in questo studio per ciascun processo core e dimensione di supporto possono anche essere utilizzate separatamente per soddisfare esigenze di ricerca specifiche ed esaminare un aspetto particolare della gestione dei brevetti. Per i manager, lo studio offre un quadro completo sulla gestione brevettuale che può essere utilizzato come strumento di valutazione per analizzare la gestione dei brevetti. Inoltre, la misura dell'attuale livello di gestione dei brevetti può essere utilizzata come base per manager e imprenditori per adottare un atteggiamento proattivo nella gestione brevettuale.

Abstract:
This thesis is the first attempt to construct a standardized measure of literacy for the medium of video games, filling a gap in the literature by synthesizing various items of skills, behaviors, and affective components from existent studies and determining their correlations through analyzation of survey data. The five categories that were derived from conceptual review and factor analysis have high measures of internal consistency: Information and Systems Management; Exploration and Enjoyment; Teamwork; Design; and Socialization. To test for external consistency and reliability, the proposed gaming literacy model was compared to the Novak and Hoffman (1997) construction of flow, using the three primary components of Challenge, Skill, and Play. Flow is the ultimate level of optimal experience possible with any activity, so it was assumed that high levels of self-reported literacy would coincide with similarly elevated scores in concern with the flow phenomenon. The data shows that, indeed, there is a positive and statistically significant relationship between the two constructs. Nomological validity tests between males and females were conducted post-hoc, using the available data. The intended use for this scale is to establish a baseline measurement system for self-report methods of assessing literacy with video games. Future research should attempt to correlate the scale to actual gaming activity, test the importance of each component in an experimental setting, and determine the discriminate validity by comparing it to scales that have been established for other forms of digital literacy.

Abstract:
Racism has been identified as a profoundly traumatic and a psychologically damaging experience affecting Black people (Harrell, 2000; White & Parham, 1990; Williams & Williams-Morris, 2000). It has been theorized that one of the most devastating effects racial oppression (i.e. racism and discrimination) is the internalization of that oppression (Bailey, Chung, Williams, & Singh, 2006; Speight, 2007). Speight (2007) argued that an understanding of racism would be incomplete without considering how it is internalized. Internalized racial oppression is the process through which Black people consciously and unconsciously internalize and accept the dominant White culture’s oppressive actions and beliefs towards Black people, while at the same time rejecting an African worldview and cultural motifs (Bailey, Chung, Williams, & Singh, 2006). Internalized racial oppression is believed to adversely affect the psychological health of Black people. This study examined the construct validity of the Internalized Racial Oppression Scale (IROS; Bailey et al., 2006) through the use of confirmatory factor analysis and social desirability. Additionally, this study investigated internalized racial oppression as a predictor of the endogenous factors of Psychological Distress, Psychological Well-Being, Personal Self-Esteem, Collective Self-esteem, and Life Satisfaction through the use of latent variable path analysis. It was hypothesized that, similar to racial oppression; greater levels of internalized racial oppression will predict greater psychological distress, lower psychological well-being, lower personal self-esteem, lower collective self-esteem, and lower satisfaction with life among Black college students. Three hundred seventy Black students (Cohort 1 = 102, Cohort 2 = 268) participated in this study. Cohort 1 consisted of students recruited from a predominately White university in the Southeastern region of the United States. Cohort 2 consisted of a national sample of students. Participants from Cohort 1 completed a pencil and paper survey, while the participants from Cohort 2 completed a survey via online. The results supported the factorial structure of the IROS. Further, the results found that the IROS was a predictor of psychological distress, psychological well-being, collective self-esteem, and satisfaction with life. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Abstract:

Organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) are the extra-role, voluntary behaviors performed by organization members for the benefit of the organization. These behaviors have been widely studied and several dimensions have been defined. However, the majority of the work on OCBs focuses on traditional organizations where all employees are collocated and can interact on a regular basis. With the changing workplace, employees can now work remotely or across different locations and still be expected to work together. Those employees who are not collocated may not feel the need to benefit the organization, but may feel connected to the team and therefore participate in virtual team citizenship behaviors (VTCBs).

This paper reviews the current OCB literature by defining OCBs, reviewing the empirical literature, and providing a critique of the current literature. Next, a framework for studying VTCBs is developed based on virtual team literature. I define and discuss the differences between VTCBs and OCBs. Next, I develop propositions for assessing construct validity using multiple validation approaches, including convergent, and divergent, and nomological validity. I then propose and conduct three interlocking studies to generate items for the scale (Study 1), to assess the dimensionality and psychometric properties of the scale and establish convergent and divergent validity (Study 2), and to test the proposed nomological model (Study 3). The results of each study and the implications of the studies are discussed.

Abstract:
Brand equity is an extensively researched subject associated with marketing performance measurement. Although brand equity is a significant source of competitive advantage online, previous conceptualisations and measures thereof overlook the unique characteristics of computer mediated environments that render consumers co-creators of brand value as opposed to passive recipients. Experience with interactive media such as the internet 1 has shown that simply replicating offline marketing effort online is not capitalising on the interactive opportunities offered by the internet. The internet's unique capabilities have significant implications for the development and management of brands and, by extension, to the translation of brand value into consumer based brand equity. By choosing to focus on e-tail brands, a multi-phased research programme was initiated to identify the facets of etail brand equity, and then develop and validate a scale for its measurement. Following well established procedures for scale development and validation in the social sciences (e.g., Churchill 1979; Gerbing and Anderson 1988), an exploratory stage was first undertaken in conjunction with a literature review to identify the facets of e-tail brand equity. This involved sixteen depth interviews with brand experts and two focus groups with consumers. Based on the results of this exploratory qualitative stage, e-tail brand equity was assumed to be three-faceted, the dimensions being emotional connection, online experience, and responsive service nature. An initial item pool was then developed to tap the aforementioned facets. In this thesis a lowercase "i" is used for the word "internet" (cf. Schwartz 2002). Next, quantitative data were collected by means of a web based consumer survey, administered to a sample of UK online shoppers, all of whom were registered users of a leading European online reward programme. After a series of iterative statistical analyses, including coefficient alpha, item-to-total correlations, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, the initial pool was reduced to a more tractable number of items. Items of fulfilment and trust failed to load on the hypothesised factors, responsive service nature and emotional connection respectively, but emerged as separate factors. Various tests of validity, reliability, and unidimensionality provided preliminary evidence of the stability of the resulting scale's psychometric properties, and suggested that e-tail brand equity is a second order construct with five independent but correlated dimensions: emotional connection, online experience, responsive service nature, trust, and fulfilment. The proposed e-tail brand equity scale is reflective of a paradigm shift precipitated by the internet and its related technologies. No longer is brand equity the outcome of "cultural engineering" branding, but is instead the result of a dialectical process between managers and consumers. The implications of this research are both theoretical and practical. The 12-item e-tail brand equity scale can potentially be used for a variety of applications in e-tailing, and can also serve as the basis for further empirical research in marketing.

Abstract:
Abstract A 30-cm diameter methanol pool fire was modeled using Sandia National Laboratories SIERRA/Fuego turbulent reacting flow code. Large Eddy Simulation (LES) with subgrid turbulent kinetic energy closure was used as the turbulence model. Combustion was modeled and simulated using a strained laminar flamelet library approach. Radiative heat transfer was modeled using the gray-gas approximation. In this investigation, the area validation metric (AVM) is employed to examine simulation results against experimental data. Time-averaged values of temperature and axial velocity at multiple locations along the domain centerline are analyzed for two computational meshes. Two time ranges for averaging temperature and axial velocity are evaluated, and the relationship between the results and the underlying physics is mentioned. Flame height is estimated using an intermittency definition, and the effect of the threshold variable is discussed. Temperature and mixture fraction were used as threshold variables, and the sensitivity of flame height to changes in each is examined. This study aims to increase understanding of the simulation results in light of a specific validation metric, and serve as a start to further validation studies.

Abstract:
This paper presents the design and initial testing of a village-scale photovoltaic (PV) powered electrodialysis reversal (EDR) desalination system for rural India. The system was built by the authors and tested at the Brackish Groundwater National Desalination Research Facility in New Mexico. EDR has the potential to be more cost effective than currently installed village-scale reverse osmosis (RO) systems in off-grid locations due to the lower specific energy consumption of EDR versus RO at high recovery ratios. Lower energetic demand leads to lower solar power system costs for off-grid areas. The system tested in this study is designed to validate that energetic, product water quality, and water recovery requirements can be met. An analytical model of the system that accounts for the composition of natural groundwater is presented and compared to initial experimental results. Additionally, results from the USAID Desal Prize are presented showing the system’s performance in regards to recovery ratio and product water quality. This paper presents the design methodology, resulting system parameters, and experimental results for an initial village-scale PV-EDR field trial.
