The Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire is an internationally widely used instrument assessing different eating styles that may contribute to weight gain and overweight: emotional eating, external eating, and restraint. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the 30-item German version of the DEBQ including its measurement invariance across gender, age, and BMI-status in a representative German population sample. Furthermore, we examined the distribution of eating styles in the general population and provide population-based norms for DEBQ scales. A representative sample of the German general population (N = 2513, age > 14 years) was assessed with the German version of the DEBQ along with information on sociodemographic characteristics and body weight and height. The German version of the DEQB demonstrates good item characteristics and reliability (restraint: α = .92, emotional eating: α = .94, external eating: α = .89). The 3-factor structure of the DEBQ could be replicated in exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and results of multi-group confirmatory factor analyses supported its metric and scalar measurement invariance across gender, age, and BMI-status. External eating was the most prevalent eating style in the German general population. Women scored higher on emotional and restrained eating scales than men, and overweight individuals scored higher in all three eating styles compared to normal weight individuals. Small differences across age were found for external eating. Norms were provided according to gender, age, and BMI-status. Our findings suggest that the German version of the DEBQ has good reliability and construct validity, and is suitable to reliably measure eating styles across age, gender, and BMI-status. Furthermore, the results demonstrate a considerable variation of eating styles across gender and BMI-status.

Data analysts today have at their disposal a seemingly endless supply of data and repositories hence, datasets from which to draw. New datasets become available daily thus making the choice of which dataset to use difficult. Furthermore, traditional data analysis has been conducted using structured data repositories such as relational database management systems (RDBMS). These systems, by their nature and design, prohibit duplication for indexed collections forcing analysts to choose one value for each of the available attributes for an item in the collection. Often analysts discover two or more datasets with information about the same entity. When combining this data and transforming it into a form that is usable in an RDBMS, analysts are forced to deconflict the collisions and choose a single value for each duplicated attribute containing differing values. This deconfliction is the source of a considerable amount of guesswork and speculation on the part of the analyst in the absence of professional intuition. One must consider what is lost by discarding those alternative values. Are there relationships between the conflicting datasets that have meaning? Is each dataset presenting a different and valid view of the entity or are the alternate values erroneous? If so, which values are erroneous? Is there a historical significance of the variances? The analysis of modern datasets requires the use of specialized algorithms and storage and retrieval mechanisms to identify, deconflict, and assimilate variances of attributes for each entity encountered. These variances, or versions of attribute values, contribute meaning to the evolution and analysis of the entity and its relationship to other entities. A new, distinct storage and retrieval mechanism will enable analysts to efficiently store, analyze, and retrieve the attribute versions without unnecessary complexity or additional alterations of the original or derived dataset schemas. This paper presents technologies and innovations that assist data analysts in discovering meaning within their data and preserving all of the original data for every entity in the RDBMS.

Open source software (OSS) is typically created in a decentralized self-organizing process by a community of developers having the same or similar interests. A key factor for the success of OSS over the last two decades is the internet: Developers who rarely meet face-to-face can employ new means of communication, both for rapidly writing and deploying software. Therefore, many tools emerged that assist a collaborative software development process, including in particular tools for source code management (SCM) and version control. In the R world, SCM is not a new idea, in fact, the R Development Core Team has always been using SCM tools for the R sources; first by means of Concurrent Versions System (CVS), and then via Subversion (SVN). A central repository is hosted by ETH Zürich mainly for managing the development of the base R system. Mailing lists like R-help, R-devel and many others are currently the main communication channels in the R community. Also beyond the base system, many R contributors employ SCM tools for managing their R packages, e.g., via web-based SVN repositories like SourceForge (http://SourceForge.net/) or Google Code (http://Code.Google.com/). However, there has been no central SCM repository providing services suited to the specific needs of R package developers. Since early 2007, the R-project offers such a central platform to the R community. R-Forge (http://R-Forge.R-project.org/) provides a set of tools for source code management and various web-based features. It aims to provide a platform for collaborative development of R packages, R-related software or further projects. / Series: Research Report Series / Department of Statistics and Mathematics

Contexto: O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a reprodutibilidade intra e interobservador da versão acetabular e femoral da prótese total de quadril. Materiais e métodos: estudo prospectivo incluindo 101 indivíduos submetidos a prótese total de quadril, sendo 114 quadris desde 2008, com imagens de tomografia computadorizada incluindo os componentes acetabular e femoral da prótese e os côndilos femorais. Resultados: Para avaliação intraobservador o coeficiente de correlação interclasse foi para o observador A de 0.99 para versão acetabular e femoral com intervalo de confian- ça (IC) de 0.98-1.00, para o observador B de 0.98 para versão acetabular (IC de 0.97- 0.99) e de 0.88 para versão femoral (IC de 0.83-0.92), para o observador C de 0.98 para versão acetabular (IC de 0.97-0,99) e de 0.83 para versão femoral (IC de 0.76-0.88). Para avaliação interobservador o coeficiente de correlação interclasse foi calculado com as medidas da primeira leitura de cada observador e em seguida da segunda leitura, sendo a primeira leitura da versão acetabular de 0.99 (IC de 0.98-1.00), a segunda leitura da versão acetabular de 0.99 (IC de 0.98-1.00), a primeira leitura da versão femoral de 0.99 (IC de 0.98-1.00), a segunda leitura da versão femoral de 0.96 (IC de 0.94-0.97). Conclusão: Com os resultados obtidos, podemos concluir que as medidas tomográficas de versão acetabular possuem excelente reprodutibilidade tanto inter quanto intraobservador, as medidas de femoral possuem excelente reprodutibilidade interobservador e de boa a excelente reprodutibilidade intraobservador. / Context: The objective of the study was to evaluate the reproducibility intra e interobserver of acetabular and femoral version after total hip arthroplasty. Materials and methods: prospective studying including 101 individuals after total hip arthroplasty, 114 hips since 2008, with computed tomography images including the components of acetabular and femoral prothesis and the femoral condyle.

O controle de versões é uma das principais funcionalidades do Gerenciamento de Configuração de Software (GCS) e visa, entre outras coisas, a recuperação e auditoria (quem, quando e o quê) de versões anteriores e a redução do espaço de armazenamento dos produtos em desenvolvimento. Existem ferramentas que auxiliam esse controle - o CVS (Concurrent Versions System) é uma delas e tem sido amplamente adotado. Como apoio à edição colaborativa na Web, o CVS pode proporcionar benefícios no sentido de recuperar e verificar versões anteriores. Atualmente, ferramentas conhecidas como “wiki", que possibilitam edição colaborativa por meio da Web, têm obtido muitos adeptos. Um exemplo desse tipo de ferramenta é a CoTeia, que tem sido utilizada no ambiente acadêmico do Instituto de Ciências Matemáticas e de Computação (ICMC) da Universidade de São Paulo (USP) desde 2001, e vem sendo utilizada também, integrada à ferramenta DocRationale, usada para registro do Design Rationale (DR). Além da edição colaborativa, é possível também o armazenamento de arquivos (uploads) associados às páginas Web da wiki. A ferramenta DocRationale viabiliza o armazenamento de artefatos relacionados ao processo de desenvolvimento de software, através do upload de arquivos. No entanto, o controle de versões desses artefatos na CoTeia não era provido. De fato, não existe um consenso da literatura a respeito do suporte de controle de versões em áreas de upload nas wikis. Neste trabalho foi realizado um estudo para análise do uso de controle de versões nas páginas e nos uploads em um conjunto de wikis pesquisadas. Já na DocRationale, como os artefatos são alterados durante o processo de desenvolvimento de software, o controle de versões na CoTeia se torna um mecanismo importante. Com isso, foi implementado o controle de versões dos artefatos armazenados na ferramenta DocRationale, através da integração do CVS à CoTeia utilizada na DocRationale. / Versions Control is one of the main activities of Software Configuration Management (SCM) and aims, among other goals, the previous versions retrieval and auditing (who, when and what), and the reduction of storage space required by under development products. There are tools that help this control – CVS is one of these and has been widely adopted. As a support to web collaborative editing, CVS can provide benefits by retrieving and checking previous versions. Nowadays, the tools known as wiki, which allow web collaborative editions, have been gathered many adopters. An example of this kind of tool is CoTeia, that has been used in academic environment at Institute of Mathematics Science and Computing (ICMC) of University of São Paulo (USP) since 2001. CoTeia has also been used integrated to DocRationale tool, which is used to register design rationale. Besides the collaborative editing, CoTeia also permits the file uploads related to wiki webpages. DocRationale makes possible artifacts storage related to software development process, through file uploads. However, versions control of the artifacts in CoTeia was not provided. Indeed, in literature there is not a consensus about the versions control support in uploads wiki area. The present dissertation shows an analysis of versions control usage on pages and uploads areas of a set of selected wikis. On the other hand, in DocRationale, because the artifacts can be changed during all the software development process, the versions control in CoTeia becomes an important mechanism. For this reason, versions control of artifacts stored in DocRationale was implemented, through integration of CVS to CoTeia used in DocRationale.

In this paper, we present a working research prototype codeid-elf for ELF binaries based on its Windows counterpart codeid, which can identify kernels through relocation entries extracted from the binaries. We show that relocation-based signatures are unique and distinct and thus, can be used to accurately determine Linux kernel versions and derandomize the base address of the kernel in memory (when kernel Address Space Layout Randomization is enabled). We evaluate the effectiveness of codeid-elf on a subset of Linux kernels and find that the relocations in kernel code have nearly 100\% code coverage and low similarity (uniqueness) across various kernels. Finally, we show that codeid-elf, which leverages relocations in kernel code, can detect all kernel versions in the test set with almost 100% page hit rate and nearly zero false negatives.

<p>Version control is an important tool for safekeeping of data and collaboration between colleagues. These days, new distributed version control systems are growing increasingly popular as successors to centralized systems like CVS and Subversion. Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) make it easier to interact with version control systems, but GUIs for distributed systems are still few and less mature than those available for centralized systems. The purpose of this thesis was to propose specific GUI ideas to make distributed systems more accessible. To accomplish this, existing version control systems and GUIs were examined. A usage survey was conducted with 20 participants consisting of software engineers. Participants were asked to score various aspects of version control systems according to usage frequency and usage difficulty. These scores were combined into an index of each aspect's "unusability" and thus its need of improvement. The primary problems identified were committing, inspecting the working set, inspecting history and synchronizing. In response, a commit helper, a repository visualizer and a favorite repositories list were proposed, along with several smaller suggestions. These proposals should constitute a good starting point for developing GUIs for distributed version control systems.</p>

In this comparative study, relativizers have been examined in two versions of the Bible: the King James Bible Version from 1611 and the New King James Bible Version from 1990. The hypothesis of this investigation was that, as the English language has undergone noticeable changes from the year 1611, the changes might also concern the usage of relativizers. Thus, the aim was to analyse how the use of relativizers has changed and try to find out reasons for these changes. To examine this, The Gospel According to Luke in both Bible versions was studied, because it is the longest of the 27 books of the New Testament. During this study, all the relativizers were sought out and counted. The results showed that in particular, there were remarkable discrepancies concerning the frequency of the relativizers who, which and that. In the King James Bible Version the relativizers which and that have a high frequency of occurrences, whereas the relativizer who does not appear as frequently. In the light of several examples, the usage of the relativizers was discussed and it has been found that the discrepancies depend on different factors. The most obvious difference in the usage of relativizers is that the relativizer which has both human and non-human antecedents in the King James Bible Version, whereas there is a clear distinction in the usage of who and which in the New King James Bible.
