Learning Management Systems (LMSs) have become a larger part of teaching and learning in the modern world. Therefore has Moodle, a free and open source e-learning tool surfaced and gained a lot of attraction and downloads. A purpose of this study has been to develop a new local plugin in Moodle with guidelines from Magnus Eriksson and Tsedey Terefe. A purpose for this project has also been to build a plugin which has the functions Date rollover and Individual date adjustment.

Abstract:

Background Stress, coping and adjustment within adoptive parenthood has received increasing attention, particularly within the current climate of late-placed adoptions (children placed for adoption aged 12 months or above). Many adopted children have pre- adoption experiences ranging from maltreatment to loss of their primary carer. These are associated with increased parenting difficulties. Many couples adopt because they have been unable to conceive birth children. For all concerned, adjustment within adoption is expected to be a difficult and stressful experience. This is the case for a sma

Abstract:

The systematic review critically evaluates and synthesises the available literature on the effectiveness of psychotherapeutic interventions targeted at reducing depressive symptomatology following stroke. Studies were identified through electronic database searches using terms related to ‘stroke’, ‘patient’, ‘depression’, ‘intervention’, and ‘trial.’ Thirteen studies were included in the review. The large amount of heterogeneity between the reviewed studies precluded the use of meta-analysis. Nonetheless, the findings support the use of psychotherapy for treatment of post-stroke depression, wi

Social support has been identified as an important mediator aiding adaptation during major life transitions such as matriculation in college. In the present study two models were proposed to predict social network development from measures of previous social support and individual characteristics collected prior to students' matriculation. It was hypothesized that initiation skills and previous social relationship patterns would predict the quantitative development of the students' new social support networks while negative affectivity and social relationship patterns would predict satisfactio

Abstract:

It has been argued that agency and communion define the fundamental dimensions of human existence. Agency represents strivings for expansion and elevation that surface as efforts to pursue social dominance. Communion represents strivings for contact and congregation that surface as efforts to preserve social bonds. From an evolutionary perspective, agency and communion define the problems of group living to which our ancestors were historically required to adapt. From a dyadic-interactional perspective, agency and communion organize the domain of behavior that individuals in contemporary socie

A literature review revealed that no existing measure of separation adjustment assessed multiple domains of separation adjustment, and was psychometrically sound.

Abstract:

The central purpose of this thesis is to explore the dimensions of labour market adjustment in Jamaica. The paper adopts a microeconometric approach, relying on new and more detailed Jamaica Labour Force Survey data for the period 1983-2006. Over this period, Jamaica has experienced significant expansion in its external trade which has been characterized by a severe import bias. Also, during this time, Jamaica's agricultural and manufacturing sectors experienced declines in their respective employment shares of 44% and 36% while service sectors expanded.

Abstract:

This project examined dispositional optimism and its influence on the three subscales of marital adjustment (consensus, satisfaction, and cohesion) by gender. Data for this study came from Wave 2 and 3 of the National Survey of Families and Households. The Actor Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) was used to examine both actor and partner effects of dispositional optimism on the marital adjustment subscales using the program AMOS. Results indicate that wives’ optimism seem to influence their own later marital satisfaction as well as their husbands’ later marital satisfaction. However, husban

Abstract:

In this thesis, a Bayes linear methodology for the adjustment of covariance matrices is presented and discussed. A geometric framework for quantifying uncertainties about covariance matrices is set up, and an inner-product for spaces of random matrices is motivated and constructed. The inner-product on this space captures aspects of belief about the relationships between covariance matrices of interest, providing a structure rich enough to adjust beliefs about unknown matrices in the light of data such as sample covariance matrices, exploiting second-order exchangeability and related specifica

Abstract:

Prestressed concrete structural members camber upwards or downwards depending upon the location of application of prestress force. Identical members do not camber equally due to variability of the factors influencing it. Differential camber in the beams, if significant, results in excessively tall haunches or girder top flange extending into the bottom of the slab. For adjacent members like deck bulb-tees and box girders that are to be transversely post-tensioned the differential camber causes problems during the fit up process. This variation is undesirable and hinders the smooth progress of

Abstract:

Bundle Adjustment is a common fine-tuning step used in photogrammetry. It uses different types of parameters, some of which can be considered to be almost linear while others can be considered to be highly nonlinear, e.g. the rotational parameters. However, in the Bundle Adjustment process all parameters are treated equal. In concert with a poor initial estimate, this might cause Bundle Adjustment to diverge. In this report, two novel methods based on the damped Gauss-Newton with Armijo linesearch, modified by giving rotational parameters a special treatment, are tested. These methods, Clamped

Time series of different nature might be characterised by the presence of deterministic and/or stochastic seasonal patterns. By seasonality, we refer to periodic fluctuations affecting not only the mean but also the shape, the dispersion and in general the density of the variable of interest over time. Using traditional approaches for seasonal adjustment might not be efficient because they do not ensure, for instance, that the adjusted data are free from periodic behaviours in, say, higher-order moments. We introduce a seasonal adjustment method based on quantile regression that is capable of

Our purpose is to investigate in depth why these adjustment programs have not delivered the expected results. We’ve found that there exist some undesirable consequences following SAP implementation that has a hindering effect on growth.

We then applied this to a game prototype to explore how this affects other game design choices. Results show that role playing games can adopt the system in different ways, that are all personal and individual to each gam
