ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES AND METHODS: A rehabilitation training requires the ability to adapt to a changed living and working environment. Qualitative content analysis and quantitative studies were conducted to (1(st)) provide a definition of adaptive performance (AP) in vocational rehabilitation. (2(nd)) A self-assessment questionnaire (ReHadapt) to measure AP was developed and (3(rd)) its validity was proved by the use of exploratory (N1=344) and confirmatory factor analysis (N2=301; N3=254) for categorical variables. RESULTS: AP is a multidimensional construct which can be assessed by the ReHadapt questionnaire. The ReHadapt questionnaire consists of 30 items which are categorized to the 6 dimensions training-related AP, subject-related AP, health-related AP, social AP towards other participants, social AP towards trainers and identification with future occupation. As expected, reliability (0,81≤Cronbach's Alpha≤0,95) and validity are confirmed. Adaptive Performance predicts return to work mediated by the health-related quality of life. IMPLICATIONS: Because of its economy and applicability in everyday work-life the ReHadapt can be used for diagnostic and training in RehaAssessment(®) and RehaConsulting.

Planar chromatography with electroosmotic flow is used to separate either a mixture of dyes using 80% aqueous ethanol as the mobile phase or a mixture of miscellaneous compounds using 45% aqueous acetonitrile as the mobile phase. Both mobile phases are 1.0 mM in N-[tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl]-3-aminopropanesulfonic acid (TAPS) buffer. Separations using this technique are faster and more efficient than the same separations by conventional TLC. The respective relationships between migration velocity and applied potential, and between analysis time and distance migrated, are presented.
