Measurement scaling involves assigning numbers to characteristics, events, or objects to make qualitative data quantitative. There are four main types of scales: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio.
Nominal scales categorize objects but do not rank them. Ordinal scales rank objects in a meaningful order but intervals between ranks are not equal. Interval scales distinguish order and have equal intervals between units. Ratio scales have all the properties of the previous scales and allow for comparisons using ratios.
Attitude measurement uses scales like Likert, Thurstone, Guttman, ranking, rating, and semantic differential to quantify opinions, satisfaction levels, or preferences on various topics through questions or statements respondents rate on a scale. The scales must
Scaling is the process of measuring or ordering entities with respect to quantitative attributes or traits. With comparative scaling, the items are directly compared with each other .In non -comparative scaling each item is scaled independently of the others.
Measurement is a procedure for assigning symbols, letters, or numbers to empirical properties of variables according to rules. A Scale is a tool or mechanism by which individuals are distinguished as to how they differ from one another on the variables of interest to our study There are four levels of measurements: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. The measurement scales, commonly used in marketing research, can be divided into two types; comparative and non-comparative scales. A number of scaling techniques are available for measurement of attitudes. There is no unique way that you can use to select a particular scaling technique for your research study.

As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.
2. WHAT ISMEASUREMENT ?
• Process of turning qualitative facts into a quantitative series
• Providing series of numbers to the series of characteristics of
event, product or things based on certain rules.
3. WHAT ISSCALING ?
• Creating continuous values for the objects asper the
importance of characteristics they possess.
• Procedures of assigning numbers to various degrees of
opinion, attitude and other concepts.
• Scale helps in comparison between two objects.
• Scale should be reliable and valid
5. 1.NOMINAL SCALE
• A scale is simply a system of assigning number symbols to events in order to
label them for identification/classification
• Itclassifies persons or objects into two or more categories. Members of a
category have a common set of characteristics, and each member may only
belong to one category.
• Yes/no scale in research activities.
For Example:
No provided in players to differentiate them
From others.
6. 2.ORDINAL SCALE
• Scale that arranges objects/alternatives according to their
magnitude in an ordered relationship.
• Italso rank-orders the categories in some meaningful way
.
• For example
APPS Ranking
7. INTERVAL SCALE
• Scale that distinguishes order of arrangement in units of equal
interval
• There is exact difference between values
“Interval scale” “Interval”
Equal space between interval
Example: Celsius Temperature
The difference between 90 degree and 70 degree is a 20 degree, as the difference
between 40 degree and 60 degree.
8. RATIO SCALE
• Ratio Scale is the highest level scale that allows the researcher to
classify or identify the objects, rank-order the objects and compare
the intervals or differences.
• Possesses all the characteristics of nominal, ordinal and interval scale
• Boys 20 Girls 30
• Then ratio will be 1:1.5
10. INTRODUCTION
Attitude is a reaction made by a person over any events, product or things
An attitude measurement is a study/survey, on a properly drawn sample, of a
specified population to find out what people in that population feel about a
specified issue.
Act of converting qualitative information into quantitative facts

14. 2.THURSTSTONE SCALE
This scale consists of statements about a particular issue or topic where each statement has a numerical
value that indicates the respondents attitude towards the topic asfavorable or unfavorable.
Step 1 – Develop statements
Step 2 – Rank each statement with a panel
of judges:
Step 3 – Calculate median and/or mean and
Interquartile range (IQR)
Step 4 – Sorting the table
Step 5 – Selecting final variables or options

16. GUTTMAN SCALES
• It assume that if respondent answer the first item then he probably
will be able to answer second.
• Statements are related to each other in such a way that one replies
favorable to one statement then he is favorable in other statement
too.
• Difficulty and rarely used
