Abstract. Developments in information technologies (IT) allow to modelling dynamic and complex form of cities and several studies have been implemented since 1990s. The cellular automata based urban growth simulation model, SLEUTH is the most well-known one among the simulation models. Calibration is the most important stage of the model created in three stages such as test, calibration, prediction. The more precise the calibration is completed, the more accurate the model generates. Several methods have been developed for the calibration step in which growth coefficients values are calculated by metrics. The study aims to investigate success of the Total Exploratory Factor Analysis (T-EFA) technique, which provides using the 13 metrics all together, in rapid grown settlement areas using high resolution data. In this context, the Sancaktepe district of Istanbul was selected as the study area and a simulation model was generated for the year 2050. The obtained results are promising to apply the T-EFA method in different studies.

This study was concerned with the correspondence between the classification of measures by clinical judgment and by factor analysis. Forty-six measures were selected to assess language, auditory processing, reading-spelling, maxillofacial structure, articulation, and other processes. These were applied to 98 misarticulating eight- and nine-year-old children. Factors derived from the analysis corresponded well with categories the measures were selected to represent.

This article investigates the psychometric properties of the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS). A group of 704 adolescents completed the questionnaires in their classrooms. This study examines potential confirmatory factor analysis factor models of the RCADS as well as the relationships between the RCADS and the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders-Revised (SCARED-R). A subsample of 595 adolescents also completed an anxiety questionnaire (Fear Survey Schedule for Children-Revised, FSSC-R) and a depression questionnaire (Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, CES-D). Confirmatory factor analysis of the RCADS suggests that the 6-factor model reasonably fits the data. All subscales were positively intercorrelated, with rs varying between .48 (generalized anxiety disorder-major depression disorder) and .65 (generalized anxiety disorder-social phobia/obsessive-compulsive disorder). The RCADS total score and all the RCADS scales were found to have good internal consistency (> .70). The correlations between the RCADS subscales and their SCARED-R counterparts are generally substantial. Convergent validity was found with the FSSC-R and the CES-D. The study included normal adolescents aged 10 to 19. Therefore, the findings cannot be extended to children under 10, nor to a clinical population. Altogether, the French version of the RCADS showed reasonable psychometric properties.
