The purpose of the article is the analysis of asymmetric wavelets in binary relations between three coordinates at 290 characteristic points from the source to the mouth of the small river Irovka. The hypsometric characteristic is the most important property of the relief. The Irovka River belongs to a low level, at the mouth it is 89 m high, and at the source it is 148 m above sea level. Modeling of binary relations with latitude, longitude, and height has shown that local latitude receives the greatest quantum certainty. In this case, all paired regularities received a correlation coefficient of more than 0.95. Such a high adequacy of wave patterns shows that geomorphology can go over to the wave multiple fractal representation of the relief. The Irovka River is characterized by a small anthropogenic impact, therefore, the relief over a length of 69 km has the natural character of the oscillatory adaptation of a small river to the surface of the Vyatka Uval from its eastern side. This allows us to proceed to the analysis of the four tributaries of the small river Irovka, as well as to model the relief of the entire catchment basin of 917 km2. The greatest adequacy with a correlation coefficient of 0.9976 was obtained by the influence of latitude on longitude, that is, the geographical location of the relief of the river channel with respect to the geomorphology of the Vyatka Uval. In second place with a correlation of 0.9967 was the influence of the height of the points of the channel of the small river on local longitude and it is also mainly determined by the relief of the Vyatka Uval. In third place was the effect of latitude on height with a correlation coefficient of 0.9859. And in last sixth place is the inverse effect of altitude on local latitude in the North-South direction.

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.

Stress in caregivers may affect the healthcare recipients receive. We examined the impact of stress experienced by 45 adult caregivers of their elderly demented parents. The participants completed a 32-item questionnaire about the impact of experienced stress. The questionnaire also asked about interventions that might help to reduce the impact of stress. After exploratory factor analysis, we reduced the 32-item questionnaire to 13 items. Results indicated that caregivers experienced stress, anxiety, and sadness. Also, emotional, but not financial or professional, well-being was significantly impacted. There was no significant difference between the impact of caregiver stress on members from the sandwich generation and those from the nonsandwich generation. Meeting with a social worker for resource availability was identified most frequently as a potentially helpful intervention for coping with the impact of stress.
