Assessing early childhood developmental functioning in the parental screening tool: an application of the Rasch model by Lucia Ráczová, Tomáš Urbánek, Erika Jurišová, Marta Popelková, Tomáš Sollár

“…ObjectivesEnsuring rapid and efficient detection of developmental difficulties in early childhood necessitates aligning screening tools with the timing of preventive examinations in each country, emphasizing the need for quick and effective unidimensional screening methods.AimThis study aims to assess the scalability and unidimensionality of developmental functioning in two- and three-year-old children using Guttman scaling and the Rasch model.MethodsThe anonymized data from 1,640 children aged 26 to 44 months, whose caregivers completed the S-PMV11 method, were gathered from routine pediatric preventive check-ups via the National Database.ResultsThe findings indicate the effective scalability of developmental functioning using the Guttman approach, thus enabling the early identification of children at risk. …”

Mechanistic insights into dye adsorption on chitosan-functionalized bentonite: synergizing experiments and computational study by Rachid Et-tanteny, Ibrahim Allaoui, Rachid Haloui, Souad Elkhattabi, Khalid Draoui, Karim El Khadiri

“…Moreover, the adsorption isotherms for both dyes aligned well with the Freundlich model. Additionally, the Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations indicated that CV’s narrower HOMO–LUMO gap and higher molecular softness were consistent with its enhanced reactivity and stronger interaction with the adsorbent. …”

Zoom Auxiliary Imaging Lens Design for a Modulation Transfer Function Test System by Yicheng Sheng, Sihan Xu, Caishi Zhang, Binghua Su, Dingxiang Cao, Zhe Chen

“…In this paper, we propose a zoom auxiliary imaging lens based on the four-component mechanical zoom method for a modulation transfer function (MTF) test system. The auxiliary imaging lenses of the current MTF test system typically use fixed-focus optical systems, which are unable to meet the test scenarios of fast and batch measurement and measure lenses with an extensive focal length range. …”
