Applying Rasch Methodology to Examine and Enhance Precision of the Baby Care Questionnaire

Article describes how the Baby Care Questionnaire (BCQ) is an established ordinal measure of parenting beliefs about infant care, which includes structure and attunement scales. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties and improve precision of the structure and attunement scales of the BCQ using Rasch methodology.

Towards Deep Integration of Electronics and Photonics (open access)

Towards Deep Integration of Electronics and Photonics

This is a review of applications of polariton modes related to the design and fabrication of electro-optical circuits. The emphasis is made on surface plasmon-polaritons which have already demonstrated their value in many fields of technology. Other possible quasiparticles as well as their hybridization with plasmons are discussed.
