We describe the development and validation of the Daily Diary of Fatigue Symptoms—Fibromyalgia (DFS-Fibro), a 24-hour recall, patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure of fatigue in FM that is administered electronically (ePRO). Methods: There were 3 phases of work: 1) item generation based on concept elicitation interviews with FM patients, with clinical relevance confirmed by expert clinician review;2) pilot testing/cognitive debriefing interviews with FM patients;and 3) psychometric validation using data from a methodology study with 145 FM patients. The measure was finalised based on both qualitative and quantitative findings. Results: Twenty-three items were generated in phase 1, some minor revisions were made following the pilot testing and cognitive debriefing (phase 2) but none were deleted. All patients found the measure easy to understand and use. Item reduction was conducted taking into account both the initial psychometric data and the earlier qualitative research, resulting in a final 5 item measure of the “symptom” of fatigue. The 5-item DFS-Fibro had very high internal consistency (alpha = 0.99), and strong test-re-test reliability (r > 0.84), convergent validity and known-groups validity. Conclusion: The DFS-Fibro has strong psychometric properties and strong face and content validity for the measurement of fatigue in FM.展开更多

This paper reviews the historical context of the political events from 1933 to 1945, the circumstances for the betrayal, and arrest of the group in hiding, the saving of Anne Frank's diary and its publication after her death at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in March 1945. Further, the paper reconstructs the beginnings of the heritage site as a small museum at 263 Prinsengracht in 1960 as well as the management issues and capacity problems that led to a larger museum complex including an educational center in 1999. During the years of 2007-2010, when the annual visitation of the museum surpassed one million, the Anne Frank House decided to introduce a high quality 3D version of the Secret Annex on the Intemet. In the final part of the paper, trends in museum management and the more frequent uses of a digital documentation of heritages sites are reviewed.展开更多

First, by combining theories anddiscussions from linguistic and literature, the author will compare both positive and negative perspectives andexamine how the parenthesis is used in different texts. Next, the author will focus on how the notions of parenthesisturn from initially being considered as surplus, subordinate, and inferior, to the re-evaluation of their role as asignificant and indispensable part of the text, and most importantly, as the sign of the author's presence in the text.Borrowing Laura Rascaroli's concept of "sonic interstices," the author will look at how the voice-over in the diaryfilm functions and relates itself to the images in the space created by parenthetical insertion. Finally, the author willexamine Jonas Mekas's diary film--The Song of Avila as a case study, analyzing the relationship between thevoice-over and the images in this film by applying my concept of a parenthetical structure.展开更多

Inspired by his own experiences of growing up, award-winning author Sherman Alexie chronicles the contemporary adolescence of one unlucky boy trying to rise above the life everyone expects him to live. As a bildungsroman, the novel honestly depicts the real life in reservation as well as protagonist Arnold's personal development in misfortune. The novel addresses various themes. Through close reading of the novel and with the help of some theories from postcolonial criticism, the present paper tries to analyze the bleak reality of reservation life and protagonist Arnold's struggle for social success, thus interpreting the themes of othering, alienation, unhomeliness, double consciousness, and hope presented in the novel展开更多

OCR (optical character recognition) is the conversion of images of typed, handwritten or printed text into machine-encoded text. Once we have the text machine-encoded we can further use it in machine processes, like translation, or extracted, meaning text-to-speech transformed, helping people in simple everyday tasks. Users of the application will be able to enter other completely different costs grouped into categories and other charges. Car Log application quickly and easily can visualize, edit and add different costs for a ear. It also supports the ability to add multiple profiles, by entering data for all ears in a single family, for example, or a small business. The test results are positive thus we intend to further develop a cloud ready application.展开更多
