A combined short 17-item scale of dependency plus other predictive variables can assess the risk of nursing home placement for older people in an acute care setting within 2 weeks of admission.
By contrast, France, Denmark, the Netherlands, Romania and the UK source around 20% or less of their supplies from Gazprom .The countries that are most dependent on Russian gas are also the least fuel-efficient, and improvements in energy efficiency could vastly reduce the scale of our dependency on Russia," said Joss Garman, a senior fellow at the IPPR.
In fact, the European Union as a whole scores 54% on the scale of energy dependency.
This study provides a robust framework for investigating pedogeomorphological processes on a landscape scale through examination of the scale dependency of modeled terrain attributes in quantitative soil-landscape modeling.
These items came from the PBQ Dependent, Paranoid, Avoidant, and Histrionic scales and reflect themes of dependency, helplessness, distrust, fears of rejection/abandonment/losing emotional control, and extreme attention-seeking behavior.
The size distribution of simulated exon (logarithmic scale) for each choice of dependency value is shown in Additional file 1: Figure S4.
In the SF-36 scales, the dependency of a scale on the SOC was highly associated with the amount of psychosocial characteristic/load of the scale.
The present study is the first to use an official scale to identify the degree of dependency of people with CVA.
Reducing the item set in this way gave a 17-item scale with a unidimensional construct of dependency that incorporated both cognitive and functional ability items.
The problem of scale dependency was solved by performing the analyses on the correlation structure instead of the covariance structure.
