2. 1. Licence to drive : the importance of reliability for the validity of the Swedish driving licence test

   Author : Susanne Alger; Hanna Eklöf; Anna Sundström; Peter Nyström; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Driving licence tests; driver s licence; driving test; theory test; licensing test; interrater reliability; classification consistency; examiner agreement; classification accuracy; förarprov; körprov; kunskapsprov; reliabilitet; validitet; bedömare; didactics of educational measurement; beteendevetenskapliga mätningar;

   Abstract : Background: The Swedish driving licence test is a criterion-referenced test resulting in a pass or fail. It currently consists of two parts - a theory test with 65 multiple-choice items and a practical driving test where at least 25 minutes are spent driving in traffic. READ MORE

4. 2. Vibrational Response Reconstruction and Model Validation

   Author : Anders Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; error metrics; response reconstruction; controllability; rig test; drive signal identification; inverse problems; model validation; state space; model updating;

   Abstract : In this thesis, laboratory response reconstruction andcomputational model validation is investigated. The former concernsapplications of control theory as the objective is to reproduce acertain loading for a known component, while the latter concernsoptimization of a parameterized model as the objective is to modifya computational model to mimic a certain component's behavior.

5. 3. Understanding Test-Artifact Quality in Software Engineering

   Author : Huynh Khanh Vi Tran; Nauman bin Ali; Jürgen Börstler; Michael Unterkalmsteiner; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Software testing; Test case quality; Test suite quality; Test artifact quality; Quality assurance; Programvaruteknik; Software Engineering;

   Abstract : Context: The core of software testing is test artifacts, i.e., test cases, test suites, test scripts, test code, test specifications, and natural language tests. Hence, the quality of test artifacts can negatively or positively impact the reliability of the software testing process. READ MORE

6. 4. Optimization and Model Validation of Transonic Compressors

   Author : Lars R Ellbrant; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; compressor; optimization; design; metamodels; CFD; validation; multiobjective;

   Abstract : Economical aspects such as reduced specific fuel consumptions and ever growing environmental requirements on emissions and percieved noise levels, are the major drivers in the search for improvement of aircraft engines. For turbofan engines, the global trend is towards higher efficiency which is accomplished by increasing component efficiencies, the bypass ratio and overall pressure ratio while keeping the engine weight low.

7. 5. Motivational beliefs in the TIMSS 2003 context : Theory, measurement and relation to test performance

   Author : Hanna Eklöf; Widar Henriksson; Simon Wolming; Svein Lie; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : test-taking motivation; TIMSS 2003; validity; construct validation; measurement; expectancy-value theory; self-concept; task value; factor analysis; eighth-grade students; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : The main objective of this thesis was to explore issues related to student achievement motivation in the Swedish TIMSS 2003 (Trend in International Mathematics and Science Study) context. The thesis comprises of five empirical papers and a summary. READ MORE
