Once the Autonomy indexing system is established, it could be used both to search all of the repositories simultaneously as well as to automatically generate alerts in response to certain inquiries.
Simulation results obtained with Radiance and Daysim allow assessing different parameters such as the daylight autonomy index and the useful daylight index.
Another possible interpretation of this result lies in the fact that the autonomy indexes were computed from the principals' responses and their perceived autonomy and therefore might not be reflecting the true degree of autonomy they actually have.
A relative autonomy index (RAI) (Grolnick and Ryan 1987) was computed based on the seven scales.
The measure provides indices for levels of motivation, external, introjected, indentified, and intrinsic motivation, as well as a relative autonomy index (RAI).
While formulas have been suggested to calculate a relative autonomy index based on the substraction of values in the controlled and autonomous motivation subscales [ 44], little evidence for an underlying continuum structure was found in Rasch analyses [ 45].
Mothers who have improved scores on decision-making autonomy indexes (opinion on sex with husband and opinion on wife beating) have children who are less likely to experience childhood diarrhoea and cough.
Improvement of life skills will be defined as increases in HCCQ-scores, TSRQ-scores on autonomy or in relative autonomy index (formed by subtracting TSRQ-scores on control from TSRQ-scores on autonomy), PCD, POPS, WHO-5 and frequency of SMBG per week, and decreases in TSRQ-scores on amotivation, PAID scores and HbA1c.
Following the categorization of HDI, the women's autonomy index was then categorized into three groups as: 1) low level with an index value less than 0.5, 2) moderate level with an index value between 0.5 and 0.79, and 3) high level with an index value equal or higher than 0.8.
Two validated instruments were used to quantify information needs and preferences: the Educational Needs Assessment Tool ENATT, range 0-156, higher scores indicate higher educational needs) and the Autonomy Preference Index (API, range 0-100, higher scores indicate stronger preferences).
In addition, patients documented a translated 8-item-set of a validated index of the need and expectation for medical information, the autonomy preference index (API) [ 22, 23].
