Abstract:
Electronic commerce is increasingly applied in commercial fields, no exception to construction procurement process. But coming with it, also creates many problems, many of them remain as hot issues for both researchers and stakeholders in industries and have not been solved, though enormous efforts have been offered from different parties involved, among which, ethics in e-commerce enabled construction procurement process stays on top of all. This thesis investigates ethical issues related to the e-commerce application in the construction industry. Research methods used in this study include a thorough literature review, a questionnaire survey, interviews and a case study. These studies were conducted in August 2004. The samples studied in my thesis included a group of 30 experienced construction professionals who were attending a MBA distance learning programme offered by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in Beijing. Through these studies, various construction ethical issues such as computer ethics and corruption in the e-commerce enabled construction procurement process are thoroughly discussed and patterns of ethical behaviors were identified. Specifically, through the questionnaire and interviews, it was identified that the majority of the respondents (70%) agreed that ethical atmosphere is almost nonexistent in the China construction industry. The majority (78%) also agreed that there was only a little ethical awareness. However, the majority of respondents (51%) believed that there is a positive relationship between ethical behavior and long-term profitability of the company. On the other hand, the respondents' views were divided when judging the relationship between ethical behaviour and short-term profitability as 40% believed the relationship between ethical behaviour and short-term profitability of the company was uncritical, while 43% believed there was a strong relationship between them. The majority of respondents (63%) also confirmed that ethics was never discussed with companies. When asked on the difficulties encountered in developing a strong ethical awareness in the company, respondents cited various reasons including the lack of support from senior management; prevailing trend in the industry, negative impact on long-term and short-term profitability. The majority of respondents (90%) also chose "keep silent" when asked if they spotted unethical behaviors. Finally, the majority of respondents (90%) believed that unethical behaviors increase the cost of procurement by at least 10%. The interviews and case study reinforced the findings and revealed reasons for the ethical behaviors in China construction industry. Based on these findings, this study has proposed several remedial measures in order to prevent unethical behaviors. In addition, scope for further research is also identified.

Abstract:
Professional identity has shown to affect the manner in which people conduct themselves at their places of work, how people feel about their work, and how successful they are in their execution of it. Little research has yet been done on the professional identity of psychologists and, as such, this study aimed to construct a measure and explore the dimensions of psychologists’ professional identity. After an online recruitment process, 306 psychologists filled out an online survey and an exploratory factor analysis was employed to examine the data. Seven dimensions were found: 1) Humanistic Values, 2) Directiveness and External Focus, 3) Professional Confidence, 4) Connectedness to the Profession, 5) Neutrality, 6) Primacy of Intuition, and 7) Professional Development. The data was further examined in a cluster analysis and five clusters were found, differing in degree of identification with different theoretical orientations, age, and most common areas of work throughout one’s career.

Abstract:
Eating disorders are alarmingly prevalent and potentially lethal. The proper assessment of eating disorder symptoms is therefore crucial for the early identification and treatment of those suffering from these serious illnesses. Current measures of eating disorder symptoms are either very narrow in scope (e.g., assess only one aspect of disordered eating, such as bingeing) and/or have one or more serious limitations, such as inconsistent factor structures and/or poor discriminant validity. Because several of the existing measures of eating disorders were created over 20 years ago, many of these limitations are the direct result of out-dated scale development methods and testing.The goal this study was to determine the structure underlying the symptoms of eating disorders and develop a multidimensional measure of eating pathology based on this structure. To accomplish this goal, an initial item pool was developed to assess 20 dimensions of eating pathology. The initial item pool of 160 items was administered to a student sample (N=433) and community sample(N=407) to determine the preliminary structure of the measure using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. The revised measure was then administered to independent samples of psychiatric patients (N=190) and students (N=227). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed a 7-factor structure that showed excellent convergent and discriminant validity. The final measure was also internally consistent (median coefficient alphas ranged from .84-.89) and reliable over a two- to four-week period (r's ranged from .70-.84). The current study represents one of, perhaps, the most comprehensive scale development project ever conducted in the field of eating disorders and is expected to improve future basic and treatment research focused on eating disorders.

Abstract:
The role of risk management in the construction industry is essential due to the complexityand dynamic environment of the projects. To enhance project success, it is important toembed risk management practices in every activity of the project.The research question is “What is the classification of risks of joint ventures projects indeveloping countries and especially in countries that are facing economic crisis?” Theobjective of this thesis work is to assess the risks by creating proper risk probability versusrisk impact matrices and proceed with further analysis and based on the criticality of themand furthermore to allocate the risks and possible bias of the Concession AgreementBased on literature review and the objective of this thesis work, the propositions are thefollowing: “1) All the examined risks have the possibility to exist. 2) Risks, which hugelyimpact joint venture projects, are financial risks. 3) The purpose of the ConstructionContract is to ensure a fair distribution of risks between the parties, determining the parties'rights, duties, responsibilities and obligations in advance. 4) Criticality is an independentvariable from impact and possibility.”Due to the nature of this research and the research objective, the scientific idealimplemented is critical realism. This research is conducted based on quantitative method ofprimary data analysis. A questionnaire was formed in order to be given to the Panel ofExperts from different organizations for the evaluation of the problem.Based on the empirical data and analysis, the author indentified and evaluated the risks ofthe joint venture construction projects in developing countries within the definedenvironment of the consortium, where the state has a specific regal role, based oncriticality, risk probability and risk impact. The analysis of the data was done with the RankReciprocal method (Carr & Zwick, 2007, p.70). In this thesis work, they are identified,individually and also aggregately, the specific risks with high criticality, high probabilityand high impact. The risks of joint venture projects classified with the higher criticality, thehigher probability and the higher impact, aggregately, are: Public Utilities Organizations(P.U.O.) permits delay (due to either Concessionaire's fault, or State's), State defaults (or anExtensive Force Majeure Event creates a State Event of Default), Events of Delay occurduring Design-Construction period affecting that period or the next one (the OperationPeriod), Critical path complications due to Archaeological Surveys revealing antiquities,Delays, inability of State in its obligation to go forth in expropriations. Risk managers canfocus on those risks and ensure the success of risk management and project control.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Fisioterapia Relatório de Projeto de Investigação
Introdução: Em Portugal, a Dor Lombar Crónica (DLC) é uma das manifestações reumatológicas mais frequentes, afectando 12,3% (95%IC: 10,5-14,3) dos indivíduos adultos. Na complexidade da DLC, parecem existir diferentes componentes de dor, isto é, dor Nociceptiva (NOC), Neuropática (NEP) e mista que podem contribuir para diferentes tipos de dor num indivíduo. Objectivo: Contribuir para a validação do PAIN DETECT QUESTIONNAIRE através do estudo da sua fiabilidade, validade de constructo na classificação da componente NOC/NEP e mista, em utentes com DLC. Metodologia: Realizou-se um estudo metodológico, transversal para avaliar as propriedades psicométricas da versão portuguesa da PDQ em 102 indivíduos com DLC. Foi realizado o estudo da validade estrutural do PDQ-PT através da Análise Fatorial Exploratória (AFE), da consistência interna, fiabilidade teste-reteste e validade de constructo (convergente e discriminativa). Para avaliação da validade de constructo convergente e discriminativa foram estabelecidas hipóteses apriori relativas à força da correlação e significado estatístico com a DN4-PT (validade convergente) e relativas à capacidade do instrumento detetar diferenças com significado estatístico entre os subgrupos NOC e NEP na intensidade da dor (escala numérica de Dor) e na incapacidade funcional (Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale). Resultados: A AFE revelou uma solução fatorial inicial de apenas um fator comum (descritores da dor neuropática), com um engeinvalue de 3,45 que explica 49,3% da variância total no conjunto dos 7 itens analisados. O PDQ-PT revelou uma excelente consistência interna (α de Cronbach=0,84) e excelente fiabilidade teste-reteste (CCI= 0,97; IC 95%: 0,95-0,98, p<0.001). Relativamente à validade de constructo foram corroboradas todas as hipóteses estabelecidas apriori. Foi observada uma forte correlação entre o PDQ-PT e a DN4-PT (r=0,739, p<0.001) e detetou-se diferenças significativas, no que respeita à intensidade da dor e incapacidade funcional, entre utentes DLC NEP e NOC (p=0,005 e p=0.011, respetivamente). Conclusões: O PDQ-PT demonstrou boa validade e fiabilidade, recomendando-se o seu uso na medição e classificação do tipo de dor predominante (NOC/NEP e MISTA) em utentes com DLC, em contexto clínico e de investigação.
Introduction: In Portugal, Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) is one of the most frequent rheumatological changes, which affects 12,3% (95%CI: 10,5-14,3) of adults individuals. In complexity of CLBP, there are different pain components, which are nociceptive NOC), neuropathic (NEP) and mixed that might contribute to different types of pain in an individual. Objective: Contribute to the validation of PAIN DETECT QUESTIONNAIRE (PDQ) through the study of its reliability and construct validity in classification of the NOC/NEP and mixed components, in patients with CLBP. Methodology: A cross-sectional methodological study was carried out to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of PDQ in 102 subjects with DLC. The study of the structural validity of PDQ-PT through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), internal consistency, test reliability and construct validity (convergent and discriminative) was carried out. In order to evaluate the validity of the convergent and discriminative construct, a priori hypotheses regarding correlation strength and statistical significance were established with DN4-PT (convergent validity) and related to the instrument's ability to detect differences with statistical significance between the NOC and NEP subgroups in the intensity of the pain (numerical scale of pain) and functional disability (Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale). Results: Through AFE revealed an initial factorial solution of only one common factor (descriptors of neuropathic pain), with an eigenvalue of 3.45 that explains 49.3% of the total variance in the set of 7 items analyzed. PDQ-PT revealed excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.84) and excellent test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.95-0.98, p <0.001). Regarding the construct validity, all hypotheses established a priori were corroborated. Spearman correlation was observed between PDQ-PT and DN4-PT (r = 0.739, p <0.001) and fundamental differences were detected in subjects with DLC, regarding pain intensity and functional disability, among DLC NEP patients and NOC (p = 0.005 and p = 0.011, respectively). Conclusion: PDQ-PT demonstrated good validity and reliability, recommending its use in the measurement and classification of the predominant type of pain (NOC / NEP and MISTA) in patients with DLC, in clinical and research context.

Abstract:
The concept of Lean Construction has been introduced successfully into the Construction Industry to increase efficiency and profit by elimination of non-value adding activities or ‘Waste’. Lean Construction is an adaptation of Lean manufacturing principles and is the future of the Construction Industry in developing as well as developed countries. There has been much study and documentation conducted on ‘Lean Construction’ in USA. Even though people have started practicing Lean in India, there is lack of documented information available about it. Professionals within the Industry could already be minimizing ‘Waste’ and/or following Lean principles without the knowledge of the term ‘Lean Construction’. This thesis has reviewed and compared Lean Construction practices and awareness in India and USA. A questionnaire based study was used to examine practices and collect data about Construction for analysis. Descriptive statistics was primarily used to make inferences from the data. The Lean Construction characteristics of the construction professionals from both the countries were discussed and analyzed. It was inferred that the Construction Industry in both the countries could benefit further from the Lean practices and increase profitability by up to 25%. In general, personnel in the Construction Industry from both the countries need to receive regular knowledge and updates about Lean principles in order to optimize resources effectively.

Abstract:
Les questionnaires mesurant l’alliance thérapeutique utilisent des définitions variables pour opérationnaliser ce construit, reflet d’un manque de cohésion théorique, et plusieurs écueils concernant leur fiabilité et validité ont été identifiés (redondance conceptuelle avec la satisfaction des services, items moins pertinents dans les phases avancées des suivis, structures factorielles instables et effets plafond). Le Questionnaire Intégratif de l’Alliance Thérapeutique (QIAT) a été élaboré afin d’opérationnaliser une définition modernisée, intégrative et flexible de l’alliance thérapeutique et de pallier ces lacunes. Pour valider le QIAT, 223 canadiens francophones suivis pour des motifs reliés à la santé mentale ou au bien-être psychologique ont été recrutés par le biais de médias sociaux et de courriels institutionnels afin de remplir des questionnaires sur une plateforme web sécurisée. Un processus de sélection des meilleurs items à partir de la théorie classique des tests et de la théorie de réponse aux items (TRI), de l’analyse factorielle exploratoire et de plusieurs autres critères a mené à la création du QIAT-SG-10 (suivi global) et du QIAT-DS6 (dernière séance). Les deux versions du QIAT ont démontré des indices de cohérence interne nettement appréciables ainsi que des preuves solides de validité convergente, discriminante et concourante. La structure factorielle (deux facteurs corrélés) a également été confirmée. En comparaison au Session Rating Scale, le QIAT-DS-6 a démontré une meilleure fidélité en TRI, alors que le QIAT-SG-10 a présenté un effet plafond légèrement plus élevé que le Working Alliance Inventory – Short Revised (WAI-SR), mais il discrimine mieux l’alliance de la satisfaction des services. Malgré une certaine redondance avec le WAISR, le contenu des items du QIAT révèle des distinctions importantes (emphase sur les compétences affectives du thérapeute et sur les aspects de négociation, intégration du lien émotionnel relié au travail collaboratif et la pertinence des items peu importe les phases du suivi) justifiant son existence.
Questionnaires measuring therapeutic alliance use various definitions to operationalize this construct, reflecting a lack of theoretical cohesion, and several pitfalls concerning their reliability and validity have been identified (conceptual redundancy with service satisfaction, less relevant items in the advanced phases of therapeutic process, unstable factor structures and ceiling effects). The Therapeutic Alliance Integrative Questionnaire (QIAT) was developed to operationalize a modernized, integrative, and flexible definition of therapeutic alliance and to address these shortcomings. To validate the QIAT, 223 French-speaking Canadians engaged in a therapeutic process for reasons related to mental health or psychological well-being were recruited through social media and institutional emails to complete questionnaires on a secure web platform. Selecting the best items based on classical test theory and item response theory (IRT), exploratory factor analysis, and several other criteria led to the creation of the QIAT-SG-10 (overall follow-up) and QIAT-DS-6 (last session). Both versions of the QIAT demonstrated appreciable indices of internal consistency as well as strong evidence of convergent, discriminant, and concurrent validity. The factor structure (two correlated factors) was also confirmed. In comparison to the Session Rating Scale, the QIAT-DS-6 demonstrated better reliability in IRT, while the QIAT-SG-10 showed a slightly higher ceiling effect than the Working Alliance Inventory - Short Revised (WAI-SR), but its discrimination from service satisfaction was higher. Despite a certain redundancy with the WAI-SR, the content of the QIAT items reveals important distinctions (emphasis on the emotional skills of the therapist and on aspects of negotiation, integration of the emotional bond specifically related to collaborative work, and the relevance of the items regardless of phases of therapeutic process) justifying its existence.

Abstract:
Bakgrund I Sverige har kommunerna ansvar för att alla invånare har tillgång till bra bostäder. För att kunna erbjuda bra bostadsalternativ som gör att fler vill bosätta sig i kommunen krävs att det finns mark för bostäder. Idag finns fastigheter bildade för bostadsändamål som inte har blivit bebyggda. I kommuner där det råder bostadsbrist och det finns en tydlig efterfrågan på mark för bostadsändamål är det viktigt att ta reda på varför fastigheterna inte blir bebyggda. Tidigare studier har utförts som i stort behandlar faktorer som kan förhindra bostadsbyggandet men privata fastighetsägares motiv till att inte bebygga sina fastigheter är ett outrett område. Syfte Examensarbetets syfte var att undersöka vilka motiv fastighetsägare har för att behålla sina fastigheter obebyggda och undersöka vilka faktorer som kan hindra en fastighetsägare från att bebygga sin fastighet. Examensarbetet begränsades till att omfatta privata fastighetsägare och fastigheter bildade för småhusändamål samt geografiskt till att omfatta Uppsala kommun. Metod Examensarbetet består av en litteraturstudie med syfte att ge en juridisk bakgrund till arbetet samt att undersöka vad som förhindrar byggandet av bostäder. För att besvara frågan varför fastighetsägare inte bebygger sina fastigheter samlades information in genom en enkätundersökning. Slutsats Slutsatsen är att de flesta fastighetsägare inte har för avsikt att bebygga fastigheten. Många har även fått fastigheten i arv eller gåva och därmed inte gjort ett aktivt val att förvärva fastigheten. Även att många innehar fastigheten i syfte att förhindra någon annan att bebygga den framkom av enkätundersökningen. För den enskilde fastighetsägaren är det särskilt plan- och bygglovsprocessen och kostnaderna för att bygga som förhindrar ett byggande.
Background The municipalities in Sweden have the responsibility for the inhabitants to have access to good homes. To be able to offer good homes so that more people could settle in a community it is necessary that there is land for housing construction. Today there are properties created to be used for housing construction that has not been developed. In communities where there are housing shortage and a high demand on land for housing it is important to find the reasons why the land is not developed. Earlier studies have been done that investigates the general elements that can stop the housing construction. However the reasons why private landowners do not develop their land are an uninvestigated area. Objective The objective with this thesis was to investigate which purposes private landowners has to keep their properties undeveloped and to see which elements can prevent a landowner not build on his property. The thesis was defined to comprise only private land owners and geographical to comprise the municipality of Uppsala. Method The thesis contain of one literature review with purpose to give a juridical background of the thesis and to explore what prevent the housing construction. To answer the question why landowners do not build on their land information was collected through a questionnaire. Conclusions The conclusion is that most of the property owners do not have an intention to build on their property. Many have received the property as a gift or through inheritance and consequently have not made an active choice to purchase the property. Also that many hold the property in order to prevent someone else to build was discovered in the questionnaire. For the private land owner the planning and building process and the costs for building are the most important

Abstract:
The overall aim of this thesis was to describe patients’ experience and reconstruction regarding the onset of, and events surrounding being struck by a Subarachnoid Haemorrhage (SAH), and to describe patients’ and relatives’ views of patients’ memory ability, emotional status and activities of living, in a long-term perspective. Methods: Both inductive and deductive approaches were used. Nine open interviews were carried out in home settings, in average 1 year and 7 seven months after the patients’ onset, and discourse analysis was used to interpret the data. Eleven relatives and 11 patients, 11 years after the onset, and 15 relatives and 15 patients, 6 years after the onset, participated in two studies. Interviews using a questionnaire with structured questions and memory tests were used to collect data. Fischer’s exact test and Z-scores were used for the statistical analysis. Results: Patients with experience of a SAH were able to judge their own memory for what happened when they became ill. The reconstruction of the illness event may be interpreted as an identity creating process. The process of meaning-making is both a matter of understanding SAH as a pathological event and a social and communicative matter, where the SAH is construed into a meaningful life history, in order to make life complete (I). Memory problems, changes in emotional status and problems with activities of living were common (II-IV). There was correspondence between relatives’ and patients’ statements regarding the patients’ memory in general and long-term memory. Patients judged their own memory ability better than relatives, compared with results on memory tests. Relatives stated that some patients had meta-memory problems (II). The episodic memory seemed to be well  reserved, both concerning the onset and in the long-term perspective (I, II). There were more problems with social life than with P- and I-ADL (III), and social company habits had changed due to concentration difficulties, mental fatigue, and  patients’ sensitivity to noisy environments and uncertainty (IV). Relatives rated the patients’ ability concerning activities of living and emotional status, and in a similar manner to patients’ statements (III-IV). Conclusions: The reconstruction of the illness event can be used as a tool in nursing for understanding the patient’s identity-construction. Relatives and patients stated the patients’ memory, emotional status and activities of living in a similar manner, and therefore both patients’ and relatives’ statements can be used as a tool in nursing care, in order to support the patient. However, the results showed: meta-memory problems (relatives’ statements) and that the patients’ judged their own memory ability better than relatives in comparison with results on memory tests. Nevertheless, there was a high degree of concordance between relatives’ and patients’ evaluations concerning patients´ memory ability, emotional status, emotional problems, social company habits and activities of living. Therefore both relatives’ and patients’ statements can be considered to be reliable. However, sometimes the patients and the relatives judge the patients’ memory differently. Consequently, memory tests and formalized dialogues between the patient, the relative and a professional might be required, in order to improve the mutual family relationship in a positive way. Professionals however, must first assume that patients can judge their own memory, emotional status and ability in daily life.

Abstract:
O presente estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a influência da sintomatologia da dor/desconforto na qualidade de vida no trabalho de operários da construção civil da cidade de Ponta Grossa, Estado do Paraná. Na coleta de dados foram utilizados dois instrumentos validados, o Diagrama de Corlett e Manenica e o Questionário Quality of Working Life Questionnaire – QWLQ - 78. Os dados foram analisados pela estatística descritiva e Data Mining, sendo correlacionados através das variáveis coletadas pelos instrumentos e pela média das idades dos sujeitos entrevistados. Constatou-se que para uma amostra de 95 operários, os resultados do Diagrama de Corlett e Manenica, através do Teste ANOVA, não apresentaram diferenças significativas. Para os resultados obtidos através do QWLQ - 78, no domínio pessoal, obteve-se o maior valor (65,94) e o menor valor foi no domínio profissional (56,39). Na correlação entre os resultados dos dois instrumentos utilizados o valor encontrado foi de r = + 0,12 (correlação direta e fraca). Nos valores de correlação entre o diagrama de Corlett e Manenica e a média das idades da amostra o resultado foi r = – 0,19 (correlação inversa e fraca) e na correlação entre as médias das idades e o QWLQ - 78 o resultado foi r = + 0,57 (correlação direta e moderada). Conclui-se que a sintomatologia da dor tem influência mínima na qualidade de vida no trabalho, enquanto que a questão da idade tem influência mínima na presença das sensações dolorosas, podendo afetar de maneira moderada a qualidade de vida no trabalho.
The present study aims to evaluate the influence of symptoms of pain/discomfort in the quality of working life of construction workers in the city of Ponta Grossa, Paraná State. During data collection, two validated instruments were used, the diagram and Corlett Manenica Questionnaire and Quality of Working Life Questionnaire - QWLQ - 78. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and data mining, and correlated with the variables collected by the instruments and the average age of the subjects interviewed. It was found that for a sample of 95 workers, the results of the diagram and Manenica Corlett, by ANOVA test, no significant differences. For the results obtained from QWLQ - 78, in the personal, gave the highest value (65.94) and the lowest was in the professional field (56.39). In the correlation between the results of the two instruments used the value found was r = +0.12 (weak positive correlation). In the correlation values between the diagram and Corlett Manenica and mean ages of the sample the result was r = - 0,19 (weak inverse correlation) and the correlation between the mean ages and QWLQ - 78 the result was r = + 0.57 (moderate positive correlation). It is concluded that the symptoms of pain has minimal influence on the quality of work life, while the question of age has minimal influence in the presence of painful sensations, which may affect the quality in a moderate way of life at work.

Abstract:
Plusieurs études au niveau international dressent un portrait des pratiques des représentants des travailleurs en matière de santé et de sécurité du travail ainsi que des divers éléments qui influencent ces pratiques (contexte, ressources, relations, etc). Un tel portrait des actions des RTSST dans différents secteurs d’activité n’a pas été établi, au Québec, depuis le milieu des années 80. Ces études se sont intéressées aux pratiques des représentants à la prévention dans des secteurs alors désignés prioritaires en vertu de la Loi sur la santé et la sécurité du travail (LSST). Également, des formations offertes par les centrales syndicales visent à préparer et outiller les RTSST à agir en prévention dans leur milieu de travail. Outre ces formations, divers éléments, tels que le contexte syndical et du milieu de travail, les ressources disponibles, les relations du RTSST avec différents acteurs ou les comités SST, sont susceptibles d’influencer positivement ou négativement l’action en prévention des RTSST. Ce mémoire dresse un portrait des études réalisées au plan international sur les pratiques des RTSST, sur leurs effets et sur les facteurs qui peuvent expliquer les variations. La recherche vise ainsi à déterminer les thèmes à inclure dans un futur questionnaire, applicable à la réalité québécoise, qui permettrait de connaître les pratiques des RTSST et les divers facteurs influençant ces pratiques. L’étude s’appuie sur un cadre conceptuel visant à intégrer les travaux sur l’action syndicale en santé et sécurité du travail et ceux qui cherchent à comprendre les sources de pouvoir syndical. Le recueil des données s’est fait en deux étapes ; la première est une revue des études quantitatives (questionnaires) et qualitatives portant sur le sujet, au plan international (Québec, Ontario, Nouvelle-Zélande, Royaume-Uni, Australie, Espagne, Suède, Europe) ainsi que sur les effets de la formation destinée aux délégués syndicaux ; la seconde a consisté en trois groupes de discussion focalisée, comprenant de quatre à six personnes par groupe. En effet, le présent mémoire s’inscrit dans la première phase d’une étude plus vaste portant sur l’action syndicale en prévention. L’étude documente les différentes ressources de pouvoirs et les aptitudes stratégiques susceptibles de faire varier les pratiques des RTSST ainsi que les différents types de pratiques que l’on peut retrouver chez les RTSST. Le tout permet d’établir une série de thèmes à intégrer dans la conception d’un futur questionnaire.

Abstract:
O bullying é um problema comum entre jovens em idade escolar, nos diferentes países, culturas e níveis socioeconômicos. Trata-se de um comportamento agressivo, ofensivo, repetitivo e frequente, perpetrado por uma pessoa contra outra ou por um grupo contra outros, com a intenção de ferir e humilhar, estabelecendo-se uma relação desigual de poder. O envolvimento com bullying está associado a pior ajustamento psicossocial, problemas de aprendizagem, evasão escolar ou de trocas frequentes de escolas, entre outros. Embora o comportamento de bullying seja multicausal, ainda são escassos estudos que avaliem a relação entre habilidades sociais de adolescentes e bullying. Um dos aspectos que dificultam a realização de pesquisas nessa área está relacionado à falta de instrumentos validados. Os objetivos do presente estudo são verificar a validade de constructo do Questionário de Bullying de Olweus (QBO) versão agressor e versão vítima e verificar a associação entre habilidades sociais e bullying em adolescentes. Trata-se de um estudo com alunos de ambos os sexos, oriundos de escolas da rede pública de Porto Alegre, do 5º ao 9º ano do ensino fundamental, com idade entre 10 e 17 anos. Para verificar o envolvimento com bullying, utilizou-se o QBO, com 23 questões para versão vítima e 23 para versão agressor com quatro opções de resposta (1=nenhuma vez a 4=várias vezes por semana). A validade de constructo foi verificada com a Teoria de Resposta ao Item (TRI), utilizando-se o modelo de resposta gradual e o crédito parcial generalizado. As habilidades sociais foram avaliadas com o Inventário de Habilidades Sociais para Adolescentes (IHSA), que é validado no Brasil. Para verificar a associação entre bullying e habilidades sociais, o critério de idade foi de 12 a 17 anos, conforme a recomendação do IHSA. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul e da Secretaria Municipal de Saúde de Porto Alegre (CAAE 19651113.5.0000.5338). Os instrumentos, ambos de autorrelato, foram respondidos pelos adolescentes no horário de aula e após a autorização dos pais. Os resultados estão apresentados em dois artigos. No primeiro, foi incluído um total de 703 adolescentes, sendo 380(54%) meninas, com média de idade de 13(DP=1,58) anos. Após a análise para a construção dos escores finais do QBO pelo modelo da TRI, observou-se que a probabilidade de um adolescente responder à opção 3 (uma vez por semana) é zero para ambas as versões. De acordo com as curvas característica do item (CCI), optou-se pela unificação das alternativas 3 e 4 para mensuração mais fidedigna a realidade do comportamento de bullying. Os itens com maior discriminação para classificar como vítima foram, respectivamente, 20 (Disseram coisas maldosas sobre mim ou sobre a minha família); 15 (Fui perseguido[a] dentro ou fora da escola) e 3 (Me ameaçaram). Na versão agressor, os itens com maior discriminação foram, respectivamente, 22 (Forcei a agredir outro[a] colega); 15 (Persegui dentro ou fora da escola) e 3 (Fiz ameaças). No segundo artigo, foram incluídos 467 alunos, sendo 245(52,5%) do sexo feminino, com média de idade de 13,3(DP=1,18) anos. Considerando-se a interação habilidades sociais e sexo, as meninas apresentaram associação significativa com menor frequência do autocontrole (p=0,010) e da civilidade (p=0,031) e maior dificuldade das habilidades de autocontrole (p=0,033) e desenvoltura social (p=0,009). Em relação aos tipos de envolvimento com bullying, 59(12,6%) dos adolescentes classificaram-se como vítima, 60(12,8%) como agressores e 175(37,5%) como agressores vítimas. Observou-se associação significativa entre as meninas vítimas de bullying e maior dificuldade na habilidade de empatia comparada aos meninos (p=0,012) e aos demais tipos de bullying (p=0,022). Também foram as vítimas, independentemente do sexo, que apresentaram maior dificuldade em termos de autocontrole, assertividade, abordagem afetiva e o total das habilidades sociais em comparação aos não envolvidos (p<0,05). Os resultados sugerem que a utilização da TRI permite a construção de uma medida de avaliação mais objetiva e precisa do comportamento de bullying. Por meio da validação de constructo do QBO e da associação com habilidades sociais, o estudo demonstrou que existe um importante déficit de determinadas habilidades sociais nos diferentes tipos de envolvimentos com bullying, principalmente entre as vítimas, quando comparadas aos não envolvidos. Portanto, intervenções que incluam técnicas para melhorar as habilidades sociais podem desempenhar um relevante papel preventivo no envolvimento com bullying no ambiente escolar.
Bullying is a common problem among school-age children and adolescents across different countries, cultures and socioeconomic levels. Bullying consists of the repeated infliction of aggressive and offensive behaviors by one person against another or one group against others, with the intent of hurting or humiliating the victim, resulting in an imbalance of power. Involvement in bullying is associated with issues such as poor social adjustment, learning difficulties, truancy and frequent changes of schools. Although bullying is known to be a multicausal phenomenon, few studies have evaluated the relationship between social skills and bullying in adolescents. A major challenge to research in the area is the lack of validated instruments which can be used to assess either of these variables. The goals of the present study were therefore to evaluate the construct validity of the Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire (OBVQ) and investigate the association between social skills and bullying in adolescents. This study involved participants of both genders aged between 10 and 17 years recruited from grades five through nine of public schools in the city of Porto Alegre. Involvement in bullying was evaluated using the OBVQ, which consists of 23 victim questions and 23 bully questions, scored on a scale of 1 (never) to 4 (several times a week). Construct validity was investigated using item response theory (ITR), by means of graduated response and generalized partial credit models. Social skills were evaluated using the Adolescent Social Skills Inventory (ASSI), which has been validated for use in Brazilian adolescents. The association between bullying and social skills was investigated in a sample of 12- to 17-year olds, which corresponds to the age group for which the ASSI was validated. This study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul and the Municipal Health Service of Porto Alegre (CAAE 19651113.5.0000.5338). The OBVQ and ASSI, both of which are self-report instruments, were administered to adolescents during school hours following parental consent. The results of this procedure are presented in two articles. The first involved a sample of 703 adolescents, of whom 380 (45%) were girls, with a mean age of 12 (SD=1.58) years. The analysis of the IRT model for OBVQ scores revealed that the probability of an adolescent responding to any of the items with option 3 (once a week) was zero in both versions of the questionnaire. Therefore, based on item characteristic curves (ICC), alternatives 3 and 4 were combined to ensure a more reliable measure of bullying behaviors. The most discriminating items in the victim questionnaire were items 20 (One or more classmates said bad things about me or my family); 15 (I was persecuted inside or outside the school) and 3 (I was threatened). The most discriminating items in the bully version were items 22 (Forced someone to hit a classmate); 15 (Persecuted a classmate inside or outside the school) and 3 (Made threats). The second article involved 467 students, of whom 245(52.5%) were female. The mean age of the sample was 13.3 (SD=1.18) years. An interaction between social skills and gender was identified, whereby girls were found to engage less frequently in the behaviors described in the selfcontrol (p=0.010) and civility scales (p=0.031), and found it more difficult to perform the behaviors listed in the self-control (p=0.033) and social ease scales (p=0.009). An analysis of student involvement in bullying revealed that 59 (12.6%) participants were considered victims, 60(12.8%) were classified as bullies and 175(37.5%) were categorized as bullyvictims. Female victims of bullying had more difficulty expressing empathy than boys (p=0.012) and participants with different types of involvement in bullying (p=0.022). Bullying victims of both genders also had more difficulty engaging in the behaviors listed in the self-control, assertiveness, and affective approach subscales, and obtained higher total scores on the difficulty engaging in ASSI behaviors than adolescents not involved in bullying (p<0.05). The results suggested that IRT can be used to develop a more objective and precise measure of bullying. By construct validating the OBVQ and verifying its association with social skills, the present study showed that the latter are significantly impaired in adolescents involved in bullying, especially the victims, as compared to those not involved. Therefore, interventions involving the improvement of social skills may play an important role in preventing bullying in schools.

Abstract:
Plusieurs auteurs suspectent que la grande proportion de scores élevés dans les études de satisfaction des clients restreint la variance et les covariances des items et d’un questionnaire de satisfaction et, par conséquent, que ceci affecte négativement leurs qualités psychométriques. Dans ce contexte, des auteurs ont suggéré d’accroître la sensibilité des échelles de réponse des questionnaires de satisfaction afin d’augmenter la variance associée à la caractéristique mesurée (i.e., la variance vraie), c’est-à-dire la satisfaction. Pour ce faire, ils ont proposé de manipuler deux caractéristiques de l’échelle de réponse : sa polarité et son nombre de points. S’inscrivant dans cette problématique, l’objectif de cette étude est d’évaluer l’effet de la polarité (bipolaire c. unipolaire), du nombre de points (six c. dix) et, à titre exploratoire, de l’étiquetage (i.e., avec ou sans étiquettes) de l’échelle de réponse sur la distribution des réponses ainsi que sur les qualités psychométriques d’un questionnaire de satisfaction des clients et de ses items. L’étude prend comme cadre théorique l’approche cognitive des méthodes de sondage, le principal courant d’études s’intéressant au comportement de réponse à un questionnaire, et emploie un devis quasi-expérimental, plus précisément un plan factoriel incomplet. Ce plan comporte six groupes de comparaison et approximativement 150 sujets se retrouvent dans chacun d’eux, pour une taille totale d’échantillon de 907 participants. Les résultats de l’étude indiquent que les indices de dispersion (i.e., écart-type, variance) et les qualités psychométriques des items et d’un questionnaire de satisfaction sont égaux ou inférieurs lorsque l’échelle de réponse est unipolaire plutôt que bipolaire. Conséquemment, nous recommandons d’employer une échelle de réponse bipolaire plutôt qu’unipolaire dans un questionnaire de satisfaction. Les résultats nous apprennent aussi que l’effet de la polarité est difficile à prédire, car il diffère selon que l’échelle de réponse compte six ou dix points et selon qu’elle possède ou pas des étiquettes. En ce qui a trait à l’effet du nombre de points de l’échelle de réponse, les résultats de l’étude amènent à conclure qu’utiliser une échelle de réponse en six points plutôt qu’en dix est sans effet sur les qualités psychométriques d’un questionnaire de satisfaction et de ses items. L’échelle de réponse en six points pourrait donc représenter un choix parcimonieux. L’étude fait aussi ressortir que la polarité, le nombre de points et l’étiquetage de l’échelle de réponse ont peu d’effet sur les qualités psychométriques d’un questionnaire de satisfaction et de ses items et, en ce sens, que ces caractéristiques de l’échelle de réponse ont une importance secondaire dans la construction d’un questionnaire de satisfaction. Enfin, les résultats permettent de penser que la distribution asymétrique négative des scores de satisfaction ne représente pas une menace importante pour les qualités psychométriques d’un questionnaire de satisfaction et de ses items.

Der Essstörungen im Kindesalter-Fragebogen (Eating Disorders in Youth-Questionnaire; EDY-Q) ist ein aus 14 Items bestehendes Instrument zur Erfassung von restriktiven Essproblemen bei 8-13-jährigen Kindern im Selbstbericht. Die Items basieren auf den Kriterien der Störung mit Vermeidung oder Einschränkung der Nahrungseinschränkung (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder; ARFID), definiert im Diagnostischen und Statistischen Manual Psychischer Störungen, 5. Auflage (DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association, 2013), auf den „Great Ormond Street“-Kriterien (Bryant-Waugh & Lask, 1995) und auf der Literatur zu restriktiven Essproblemen mit Beginn im frühen Lebensalter. Zwölf der 14 Items des EDY-Q erfassen Symptome von ARFID, inklusive der drei vorgeschlagenen Varianten (Bryant-Waugh, Markham, Kreipe & Walsh, 2010) Nahrungsvermeidung mit emotionaler Störung (food avoidance emotional disorder; FAED), selektives Essen (selective eating; SE) und funktionelle Dysphagie (functional dysphagia; FD). Zwei zusätzliche Items erfassen Pica und die Ruminationsstörung, zwei weitere Fütter- und Essstörungen mit Beginn im frühen Lebensalter, die im DSM-5 beschrieben sind (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).

Abstract:
The Eating Disorders in Youth-Questionnaire (EDY-Q) is a 14-item instrument for assessing early-onset restrictive eating disturbances in 8-13 year old children via self-report. The items are based on: the criteria for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition (DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association APA, 2013); the Great Ormond Street criteria (Bryant-Waugh & Lask, 1995); and literature on early-onset restrictive eating disturbances. The EDY-Q consists of fourteen items, twelve of which cover ARFID symptomatology, including its three proposed variants (Bryant-Waugh, Markham, Kreipe & Walsh, 2010), food avoidance emotional disorder (FAED), selective eating (SE), and functional dysphagia (FD). Two additional items briefly address Pica and Rumination Disorder, two other early-onset feeding or eating disorders described in the DSM-5 (APA, 2013). The English version of the EDY-Q was translated from the German version (van Dyck & Hilbert, 2016) by AH. This translation was controlled by a retranslation procedure through a licensed translator.

Abstract:
Le travail présenté ici est principalement consacré à la validation d'une version française du Aggression Questionnaire de Buss et Perry (1992), qui occupe toute la deuxième partie. Dans cette perspective, nous nous sommes inspirés de la procédure de validation transculturelle des questionnaires psychologiques préconisée par Vallerand (1989). La deuxième partie de ce travail comporte de ce fait 7 études. Les 3 premières sont consacrées à l'analyse de la structure du construit psychologique. L'analyse factorielle exploratoire a permis de retrouver la même structure factorielle des items que dans la version originale, à savoir 4 facteurs correspondant aux échelles "colère", "hostilité", "agressivité physique et "agressivité verbale", la fidélité étant satisfaisante (alpha de Cronbach entre. 71 et. 84 et corrélation test-retest entre. 73 et. 85). L'analyse factorielle confirmatoire a validé le modèle structurel des 4 facteurs corrélés entre-eux rapportés par Buss et Perry, avec des indices d'ajustement du modèle aux données acceptable (chi2/ddl: 1. 99 ; GFI:. 94, AGFI, 92, RMSR:. 054). Les études 4 et 5 sont dévolues à l'examen des corrélats du construit psychologique et offrent des résultats proches de ceux obtenus avec le Aggression Questionnaire. L'étude 6 teste la validité concomitante du Questionnaire d'Agressivité avec des résultats comparables à ceux de la version du questionnaire avec la méthode de sujets bilingues, elle donne des résultats satisfaisants. La troisième partie de travail met en oeuvre le Questionnaire d'Agressivité, avec notamment une mise en relation avec les comportements d'agression observés en situation sportive. Les résultats sont parfois ambigus et même, pour certain, contraires à ce qui était attendu.

Abstract:
The purpose of the studies presented was to develop and examine the psychometric properties of the Eating Habits Questionnaire (EHQ). The author designed the 21-item self-report inventory to assess cognitions, behaviors, and feelings related to an extreme focus on healthy eating as a preliminary step in researching an alleged syndrome that has been labeled "orthorexia nervosa", defined as a pathological fixation on healthy eating. Study 1 examined the factor structure of the EHQ and refined the instrument with exploratory factor analysis. A 3-factor solution was preferred, with subscales labeled: knowledge of healthy eating, problems associated with healthy eating, and feeling positively about healthy eating. In the Study 1 sample (n = 174) the subscales displayed good internal consistency (.87 to .91) and test-retest reliability (.74 to .87). Study 2 examined the fit of the 3-factor model in a new sample (n = 213) with confirmatory factor analysis. Poor initial fit became adequate after eliminating poorly fitting items. Internal consistency (.82 to .90) and test-retest reliability (.72 to .81) of the subscales remained good in the Study 2 sample. Examination of correlations between the EHQ subscales and a variety of other measures provided preliminary evidence for both convergent and discriminant validity in the Study 2 sample. As expected, the EHQ subscales correlated more highly with measures of eating related pathology than with measures of general pathology, personality characteristics, or social desirability.

Abstract:

Vardagslivets belastning har en stark påverkan på människors välbefinnande, men utbudet av reliabla och valida mätinstrument är inte tillräckligt stort. Syftet med föreliggande studie är att göra en systematisk utvärdering av Life Content Questionnaire (LCQ), en enkät baserad på Krav-Kontroll-Stöd-modellen avsedd att mäta generell belastning i vardagen. Undersökningsdeltagarna var 272 föräldrar; kvinnor och män boende i Stockholms kommun med minst ett barn 0-16 år. LCQs psykometriska egenskaper mättes både genom en kvantitativ och med en kvalitativ studie. Inledningsvis genomfördes reliabilitetsberäkningar och en jämförande statistisk analys mot andra stress- och utbrändhetsmått. Därefter utfördes semistrukturerade metodorienterade intervjuer kring var och en av skalans frågor. Tematisk analys användes i databearbetningen av intervjuerna. Resultatet visade att LCQ är ett reliabelt och valitt instrument. LCQ var approximativt normalfördelat och korrelerade signifikant med ett stress- och ett utbrändhetsmått. Kontrolldelskalan föll ut i två komponenter och respondenterna uppfattade fråga 5 (angående motstridiga krav) väldigt olika samt påpekade att de påståenden som mäter socialt stöd var svåra att skilja åt.

Abstract:
The demand to implement routine outcome assessment in mental health care services calls for measures with clinical utility, i. e, feasible to therapists, acceptable to clients and generalizable to settings. This research aims to explore the clinical utility of a patient-generated measure, the Personal Questionnaire (PQ). An on-line survey was designed (study I) and administered to an international sample of 25 therapists with experience using the PQ (study II). Results suggest that the PQ is perceived as a clinically significant and fairly practical measure, useful not only in assessing outcome but also in various clinical tasks. Furthermore, it is relatively well accepted by clients and it is extremely generalizable to different clients, clinical approaches and settings. Specific suggestions to increase the PQ’s clinical utility are provided. Exploring therapists’ perspectives and practices will improve the appropriateness of measures to real-world clinical settings; A utilidade clínica do Personal Questionnaire RESUMO: O movimento para implementar a avaliação rotineira de resultados nos serviços de saúde mental pede medidas com utilidade clínica, i. e, práticas para terapeutas, aceitáveis para clientes e generalizáveis para contextos clínicos. Este estudo tem como objetivo explorar a utilidade clínica de uma medida gerada pelo cliente, o Personal Questionnaire (PQ). Um questionário on-line foi desenvolvido (estudo I) e administrado a uma amostra internacional de 25 terapeutas com experiência de uso do PQ (estudo II). Os resultados sugerem que o PQ é considerado um instrumento valioso para a prática clínica, relativamente prático, útil como indicador de resultado e também como ferramenta clínica. Adicionalmente, é bem aceite pelos clientes e bastante generalizável para diferentes clientes, abordagens terapêuticas e contextos clínicos. Sugestões específicas para melhorar a utilidade clínica do PQ são fornecidas. Explorar as perspetivas e práticas dos terapeutas face a medidas de resultado possibilita uma melhor adequação à prática clínica.

Abstract:
Objective: The aim of this study was to develop, evaluate, and standardize a short form of the well-established Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q). The newly developed EDE-Q8 was required to reflect the originally postulated structure of the EDE-Q. Method: Data were drawn from two nationwide representative population surveys in Germany: a survey conducted to develop the EDE-Q8 in 2009 (N = 2520); and a survey conducted in 2013 (N = 2508) for the evaluation and calculation of EDE-Q8 percentiles. Results: The EDE-Q8 had excellent item characteristics, very good reliability and a very good model fit for the postulated second-order factorial structure. Furthermore, a strong correlation between the EDE-Q8 and a 13 item short form of the Eating Attitudes Test was observed. Discussion: The EDE-Q8 appears to be particularly suitable in epidemiological research, when an economical assessment of global eating disorder psychopathology is required.

Abstract:
A Thesis submitted to The University of Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Medicine.
Informant‐based assessments of cognition and function are commonly used to differentiate individuals with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) from those who are cognitively normal (CN). However, determining the extent to which informant‐based measures correlate to objective neuropsychological tests is important given the widespread use of neuropsychological tests in making clinical diagnoses of aMCI and AD. The aim of the current study is to determine how well the Alzheimer’s Questionnaire (AQ) correlates with objective neuropsychological tests. Results showed that the AQ correlated strongly with the Mini Mental State Exam (r = ‐0.71) and the Mattis Dementia Rating Scale‐2 (r = ‐0.72), and moderate correlations were noted for the AQ with memory function (Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test Delayed Recall, r = ‐0.61) and executive function (Trails B, r = 0.53). The AQ also correlated moderately with language function (Boston Naming Test 30‐Item, r = ‐0.44), but showed a weak correlation with visuospatial function (Judgment of Line Orientation, r = ‐0.28). The AQ also correlates particularly well with cognitive screens, showing the strongest correlations with the MMSE (r = ‐0.71) and the DRS‐2 (r = ‐0.72). The findings of this study suggest that the AQ correlates well with several neuropsychological tests, particularly those that assess the domains memory and executive function. These results lend further support to the validity of the AQ as a screening instrument for cognitive impairment as it correlates well with neuropsychological measures used to make clinical diagnoses of aMCI and AD.e sites become involved, thus providing significant feedback for possible course revision.

Abstract:

The web-based Questionnaire of Ethical Skills (QES) is a technology tool thatmeasures ethical competence in business as a psychological problem-solving and decision-making skill. Autonomous reasoning is measured by this questionnaire, what is in psychological terms known as ethical competence. Information and communication technology tools – as the one that is presented here - should be used to do special training and facilitate the achievement of ethical competence. With this questionnaire we want to assess the way the participants solve ethical problems and make decisions. We go further compared to Kavathatzopoulos & Rigas’ paper questionnaire (2006) that has certain limitations regarding the four alternatives per dilemma. We are more flexible by using this technology in testing different combinations of alternatives.
