The relationships of character strengths with coping, work-related stress, and job satisfaction
(2015)
Personality traits have often been highlighted to relate to how people cope with stressful events. The present paper focuses on character strengths as positive personality traits and examines two basic assumptions that were derived from a core characteristic of character strengths (i.e., to determine how individuals deal with adversities): (1) character strengths correlate with coping and (2) buffer the effects of work-related stress on job satisfaction. Two different samples (i.e., a mixed sample representing various ...

Optimization of cassava dried noodle using hydrocolloid and protein isolates: a tropical noodle
(2020-11-29)
Cassava flour has the potential to be used as a substituent of flour in making dry noodles. This study aims to obtain the optimum formulation of flour, hydrocolloid content and protein isolate content. Formula optimization of cassava noodle has been done by using two types of cassava flour: native and pre-gelatinization, adding additional food additives such as hydrocolloid (xanthan gum and konjac glucomannan) and pea protein isolate. The design of the formulation and optimization is done by D-optimal combined design ...

Morphology-property-relationship of thermo-mechanically graded self-reinforced polypropylene composites
(2015-02-17)
In this paper the relationship between different composite morphologies and their mechanical properties is to be investigated. By manufacturing two different tape-based polypropylene composites in a compression moulding process, four varying degrees of compaction will be generated. The morphological structure is analyzed using confocal laser light microscopy and wet chemically etched specimen cross-sections. The etching process removes the amorphous phase in the polymer, making the macromolecular orientations and ...

Meta-Heuristics in Short Scale Construction: Ant Colony Optimization and Genetic Algorithm
(2016-11-28)
The advent of large-scale assessment, but also the more frequent use of longitudinal and multivariate approaches to measurement in psychological, educational, and sociological research, caused an increased demand for psychometrically sound short scales. Shortening scales economizes on valuable administration time, but might result in inadequate measures because reducing an item set could: a) change the internal structure of the measure, b) result in poorer reliability and measurement precision, c) deliver measures ...

Cognitive Abilities Explain Wording Effects in the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale
(2017-12-18)
There is consensus that the 10 items of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) reflect wording effects resulting from positively and negatively keyed items. The present study examined the effects of cognitive abilities on the factor structure of the RSES with a novel, nonparametric latent variable technique called local structural equation models. In a nationally representative German large-scale assessment including 12,437 students competing measurement models for the RSES were compared: a bifactor model with a ...

„Scharfsinn und Spieltrieb“
(2013-03)
„Je mehr man liest, desto mehr glaubt man sich dabei in einer vertrauten Runde zu befinden, wo jeder jeden kennt und sich nicht scheut, dem anderen bei passender Gelegenheit zitierend seine Reverenz zu erweisen“. So schreibt Paul Maar in einem Aufsatz mit dem Titel Meine Lieblingsautoren sind wie alte Freunde. Hier entwirft er eine ausgesprochen bildhafte Definition intertextuellen Schreibens, das für ihn eine Selbstverständlichkeit literarischer Produktion darstellt und sich darin äußert, „die von ihm verehrten ...
