[Development of multidimensional scaling methods in biomedical research].

Analyzed were different approaches to the construction of multidimensional scales to be used in comparison of experimental biomedical data. Pinpointed were weak points of the existing models. Multidimensional scaling algorithms can be adapted by substituting the notion of "measure of nearness" between characteristics studied with the dispersion analysis which is the most valuable part of the multidimensional methods--orthogonal scaling (from one up to three scales). Integral criterion D2 1,2 allows evaluation of both individual and typological reactions of the body systems to various factors.

[Evaluation of personal empowerment: development of a scale of psychologic indices of power (MIPPA)].

This article presents the results of a series of studies devoted to creating an empowerment scale. The scale has been constructed from a dedicated conceptual framework and several empirical studies carried out over the last 5 years, designed to evaluate its conceptual articulation, linguistic properties, and psychometric qualities. Results show a scale composed of three factors that are conceptually distinct and consistent with the literature on the subject.

Intellectual and adaptive functioning: some tables for interpreting the Vineland in combination with intelligence tests.

A set of tables was provided with the differences necessary for statistical significance between the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales and the Bayley Scales of Infant Development. McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities, Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale (4th ed.), and all current Wechsler intelligence scales. This information may be beneficial in determining whether discrepancies in the Vineland and measures of intelligence can be attributed to chance alone or whether they represent real differences. In light of normative sampling diversity, regression effects, and procedural factors, which result in varying and indeterminate error in the tables, the tables can only augment clinical decision, not replace it.
